Chapter 1319 - 1323: Did You Really Think I’d Come to Save You
"Me?!" Xu Xia glanced out the window at the gradually darkening sky, "I’m at Xiao Qian’s place, the farm here, the signal isn’t great."
Hearing this, Lan Zi immediately felt relieved, "Then get some rest early, see you tomorrow... Oh, and don’t forget to charge your phone."
"Don’t worry, I won’t forget." Hanging up the phone, Xu Xia casually tossed her phone onto the passenger seat and continued watching the movie.
Just as the male and female protagonists in the movie were about to kiss, the computer screen flashed and then directly shut down.
"Are you kidding me, why does it fail at such a critical moment?"
Xu Xia cursed under her breath and tossed the tablet aside.
By now, the sky outside had darkened considerably. She glanced at her watch and pouted in annoyance, "Why is this thing acting up!"
Bored from waiting, she picked up her phone to continue playing games.
The game went exceptionally well today; she easily passed the levels she previously couldn’t get through. Xu Xia was so engrossed that she didn’t hear the low battery warning.
It wasn’t until she cleared the final level that she rubbed her slightly sore neck, reached for the snack bag, tossed a chip into her mouth, and suddenly remembered something.
"Wait a minute!" She sat up straight abruptly, "Leng Zirui didn’t even ask me where I am. Could he be messing with me?!"
Imagining this possibility, Xu Xia broke out in a cold sweat and quickly picked up her phone to call Leng Zirui again.
Listening to the signal tone, she nervously pursed her lips, and as soon as she heard Leng Zirui’s voice, she immediately questioned, "Leng Zirui, are you messing with me and never coming?"
Leng Zirui chuckled from the other end of the line, "Do you really believe I’d come to rescue you?!"
This jerk, he really was messing with her!
"So you don’t care about your car?" Xu Xia asked angrily.
"The car’s broken anyway, it won’t go anywhere. I’ll just get it back when I have time. I have things to do, gotta go!"
"Leng Zirui..."
"..."
On the phone, there was only the sound of the signal cutting off.
"Jerk, big jerk, damn jerk..." Xu Xia cursed a few times, quickly dialed Lan Zi’s number, but before the call connected, her phone went black.
No battery!
She always forgets to charge it. Normally, Lan Zi carries a power bank for her, but this time, she came out by herself and didn’t think about these details at all.
Cursing under her breath, Xu Xia quickly grabbed the charger from her bag, connected it to the car’s charging port, but the phone didn’t respond at all.
"Can’t be this unlucky, can it?"
Xu Xia tossed the phone aside and lightly turned the car key.
When it rains, it pours!
The car didn’t respond at all.
Could the cable she just pulled out be that important?
Xu Xia frowned and jumped out of the car, reopened the car hood, took hold of the cable end she had pulled off earlier, the line was originally soldered, and she forcibly yanked it off. Now trying to fix it was impossible; after struggling for a while, she was left covered in dust and dirt.
From the woods behind, the call of an owl rang out.
In such wilderness, in such darkness, the sound was particularly eerie.
The mountain weather was chilly, and the wind picked up after nightfall. Xu Xia was only wearing a T-shirt, and with a gust of wind, the hairs on her body stood on end.
The car wouldn’t start, the electrical line was broken by her, even the headlights couldn’t be turned on now. The surroundings were dim, the wind rustling the leaves, accompanied by the night bird’s call, was simply like a horror movie scene.
