Chapter 34.1: Zhang Simiao Part 1
It just happened that the two of them got busy together today. Mother Zhang suddenly received a business trip notice. At the same time, Father Zhang had already started socializing with his client. No matter how much he wanted to pick up his daughter, he couldn’t leave his client. He could only leave it to his wife. After explaining the situation, he let her talk to Zhang Simiao, take a taxi home after school, and he will strive to rush home early.
This was the only best solution.
Zhang Simiao was used to being picked up by her parents since she was a child. This was the first time they let her take the car by herself, so she was a little uneasy. Especially after hearing Lin Qingyin’s words. She remembered the news that many girls had accidents in cars alone, and most of them chose online ride-hailing.
Online ride-hailing was not safe. Most of the time, people can find the driver’s record. What was scary was the online black ride-hailing. These cars have no license and no driver’s information. People will not know who was driving.
However, Zhang Simiao never thought about riding in a black car at all. She belongs to the kind of girl who was called a good girl for nothing. She never tried doing anything dangerous.
Since Zhang Simiao didn’t plan to take a black car, she didn’t pay too much attention to it. She pulled out her math test paper and started working on the problem.
The nearly two hours evening self-study time was not that long. When Zhang Simiao finished, it was almost the end of school. After putting her books in the bag, Zhang Simiao walked out of the classroom while looking at her mobile phone. When she walked out of the teaching building, she found out that the sky outside had changed. The north wind was blowing, making a shuddering sound, and the leaves were rolling in the air.
Zhang Simiao smelled the scent of mud in the humid air, she knew it was about to rain. The weather was pretty good when she went out this morning, so she wore a windbreaker jacket that wasn’t too thick, and now she felt a bit chilly when she was blown by the wind.
The students who live on campus rushed to the dormitory with their schoolbags in groups. For the first time, Zhang Simiao was a little envious of the students who lived on campus. They could get into their room in just five or six minutes, while it takes 20 minutes for her to get back home. Remembering that her parents were unable to pick her up today, Zhang Simiao ran towards the school gate with a little panic in her heart. She had to rush home before the rain fell.
The location of Dongfang International High School was not particularly remote. There were often taxis passing by here at night. Today, she doesn’t know if it was because of the weather change, but not only the taxis can’t be seen, but even the private cars on the road were much less.
As time passed by, all the students who didn’t live on the campus were picked up by their families. However, Zhang Simiao stood for 10 minutes but she hadn’t encountered a taxi. After tightening her neckline that was blown away by the wind, she called her father helplessly. But she didn’t know if Father Zhang’s mobile phone was in his bag, the phone rang for a full minute, but no one answered.
Tiny raindrops started falling from the sky. Zhang Simiao became a little anxious while listening to the beeping sound on her mobile phone. If she gets caught in the rain on such a cold day, she would definitely get seriously ill. The second-year classes were much intense than freshman year. There were too many lessons.
Zhang Simiao ended up at this school because she suffered from pneumonia during the high school entrance examination. She wanted to work hard for 3 years in high school to enter a good university. She couldn’t afford to lose time because of illness.
After hesitating for a while, Zhang Simiao finally opened the ride-hailing interface. At first, she asked for a taxi, but after waiting for 2 minutes, no driver took her request. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer students at the entrance of the school, Zhang Simiao transferred to the interface of the private car. She thought about calling her mother as soon as she got in the car. Everything would be fine if she kept talking on the phone.
