After driving away, he headed for home. By the roadside, Little Tangtang looked at Wen Qiong with a mischievous expression.

"Auntie, do you like Brother Xia?"

Asked this so suddenly, Wen Qiong's face flushed red.

"No... You... what would a little girl like you know about these things?"

Seeing her aunt's reaction, the precocious Little Tangtang clapped her hands.

"If that's the case, then I can't call him Brother Xia anymore! I'll have to call him Uncle Xia."

Hearing Little Tangtang's words, Wen Qiong immediately knew what she was thinking and pretended to be fierce.

"Just you wait and see how I deal with you!"

"Hahaha! Come and get me!"

Amid their laughter and cheer, the two returned home. Xia Liang also concluded his day of driving for Didi.

「The next day」

Just as Xia Liang stepped out the door, he received an order. Arriving at the destination, a familiar voice called out.

"Hey! Big brother, aren't you surprised?"

Before Xia Liang, who had just pulled up to the meeting point, could even get out of the car, he saw a cute girl pop out from behind a hibiscus tree. It was none other than Wen Qiong. She looked worlds apart from the day before.

As expected of someone with a 96-point beauty score.

"Big brother, let's reintroduce ourselves. My name is Wen Qiong, but you can call me Little Wen. That's what my sister calls me."

The weather had warmed up, and Wen Qiong was wearing a pink, wide-collared dress with a yellow jacket. She had on a pair of casual white sneakers that showed off her long, slender legs. Her champagne-gold hair was tied back into a cute bow at the nape of her neck. Dressed up so meticulously, she looked absolutely adorable today compared to yesterday.

"Hello, my name is Xia Liang."

Xia Liang got out of the car as well. As he introduced himself, the word 'generous' popped into his head. He couldn't help but glance down at the source of his thought and nod in appreciation.

A magnificent 36D! It certainly didn't disappoint...

Xia Liang, at 180cm tall, had a commanding view over Wen Qiong, who barely reached 160cm. By now, they had walked closer to each other, and from his vantage point, Xia Liang saw a few things he probably shouldn't have...

Standing at the perfect height for the 'cutest height difference,' Wen Qiong looked up at Xia Liang but didn't receive his gaze in return. Her cheeks blushed, and she quietly took a small step back without saying a word.

"Ahem, uh, Little Wen, did you leave something in the car? Why don't you check if it's still there," Xia Liang said, finally snapping out of it. He coughed twice to cover his embarrassment, his eyes darting toward the nearby hibiscus tree.

"Actually... actually..." Hearing his question, Wen Qiong began to fidget with the hem of her clothes, suddenly at a loss for words.

"Oh, you already found it? Like I said, I didn't see anything in my car. In that case, I'll be on my way," he said, turning as if to leave immediately.

"Brother Xia, don't go! It's... it's true, I did leave something with you."

"Is that so? Come on, I'll open the doors so you can have a quick look. It's been a whole day; who knows if someone else took it."

"Brother Xia, you don't have to look. You won't be able to find what I left."

"Oh? It can't be found? What is it?"

"I... I left my heart... I left my heart with you..."

"!!!"

Wen Qiong's words sent a jolt through Xia Liang.

Having mustered up the courage to speak her true feelings, Wen Qiong didn't care about anything else now.

"Brother Xia, do you believe in love at first sight? When I first met you, I thought your way of speaking was so interesting. Even when we were in danger, you didn't hesitate to help us. Do you know how cool you looked when you were driving? I was terrified, but it was also really thrilling. And when you confronted those bad guys, you were just so incredibly manly. In that moment, I knew you were my Prince Charming, the man I was destined to meet. So, Brother Xia, I want to tell you that I like you. I really, really like you."

Wen Qiong poured out everything in her heart in a single breath. With her face flushed red and her eyes wide, she looked at Xia Liang expectantly.

"..."

Are girls really this forward nowadays?

Xia Liang hadn't actually intended to leave; he just wanted to tease her a bit. But her direct confession completely threw him off. Shouldn't a normal romance start with chatting, then dinner, then maybe a walk and a movie? A confession was supposed to come later, at the right moment, on a quiet night with the perfect atmosphere.

It's true what they say: 'It's easier for a girl to pursue a boy than piercing through a layer of paper.' So this is what they mean by direct!

"Um... Little Wen, don't you think we're moving a little too fast?"

I have to take things one step at a time; this can't be rushed. I have too many romantic debts as it is.

"Look, Little Wen, I understand what you're saying. And to be honest, you're so cute and beautiful today that you've made my heart flutter a bit. But love isn't some childish game you jump into on a whim. We should get to know each other better before making a decision. So, can we give each other a little more time?" Xia Liang said, his words sounding noble and grand.

"Oh, okay then. Brother Xia, let's start as friends. But I'm still reserving the right to pursue you, okay!"

"Mm, no problem!"

This was a request he was absolutely, positively going to accept.

"Hee hee, that's great, Brother Xia."

Although she hadn't achieved her initial goal, Wen Qiong was smiling brightly. She felt that this version of Brother Xia was the best—a truly responsible man.

"By the way, Brother Xia, my sister—Little Tangtang's mom—would like to meet you. She wants to thank you in person for saving Little Tangtang. Can you come with me to our place? It's just a bit far, over in Tianfu District."

"Alright, let's head over now! I drive in that area all the time, so I know the roads well."

Xia Liang happily agreed. With Wen Qiong in the passenger seat, he drove south, maintaining a normal speed on Tianfu Avenue. This time, he didn't speed or run any red lights, just moved along with the flow of traffic.

Soon, Xia Liang noticed many people turning to look at him, some even taking out their phones to take pictures. He knew he had gone viral again.

When they reached the entrance of Wen Qiong's residential community, Xia Liang stopped at a store to buy some fruit, a pile of toys and candy that a little girl would like, and then opened Today's Headlines to check out his glorious deeds from yesterday.

To his surprise, Xia Liang found two headlines about himself on the trending list, one of which was ranked third. He immediately clicked on it. It showed 58.42 million views, 610,000 comments, and an incredible number of likes and shares. The content was mostly a compilation of information gathered from various sources, including interviews with Wen Qiong and Gu Qingqing, as well as several edited video clips from online.

"This driver must be a kung fu master. He could probably go toe-to-toe with my own master, who's been training for half his life. The true masters are always hidden among the people."

"This big brother is too handsome! He looks just like my future husband!"

"I knew he looked familiar! That's Summer God Hao!"

"That drifting was insanely cool! It's like Shangjing's version of The Fast and the Furious, 666!"

Xia Liang scrolled through his phone, his scalp tingling as he read the highly-liked comments. After a few moments, he closed the app.

No, I can't drive this Hui Teng anymore. It's too recognizable. If I'm going to keep driving for Didi, I'll have to get another car. But then again, this month is almost over. My new job will start next month, so I won't need to switch cars after all.

Thinking this, Xia Liang felt a wave of delight. Lost in thought, he followed Wen Qiong into the complex.

Gucheng Community was a resettlement complex built over ten years ago. The property management and landscaping were average, and the buildings were all seven-story walk-ups.
