As she was wondering, Li Minxi finally woke up.
"Ouch, it hurts so much," Li Minxi said, cradling her head.
Perhaps her pain receptors were just now transmitting the sensation to her brain.
"What's wrong? Xiao Xi? Don't scare me," Lin Ziyang's hands trembled unconsciously.
"I'm fine. My head really hurt just now," Li Minxi patted her head with her hand. "Ah, it doesn't hurt anymore. That blow almost killed me."
Lin Ziyang patted his chest in relief, grateful that she was okay.
Guo Xuyang couldn't help but glance over a few times.
"Hey, where are you looking? Be careful your eyeballs fall out," Li Minxi shouted.
Her shout made him quite embarrassed.
Lin Ziyang's face also turned red: "You brat, what are you yelling about?"
"Look, your drool is about to drip," Li Minxi pointed at Guo Xuyang's mouth with a smile.
He instinctively wiped his face with his hand.
This action made the two women unable to hold back their laughter.
He wished he could disappear into a hole in the ground.
"Am I that funny? Then keep laughing, I'm leaving," he said, turning to go.
"It was just a joke. You don't need to get so angry," Li Minxi grabbed his arm. "What happened to me? How did I get back?"
"You hit your head and fainted. You're such a young girl, so weak that you faint at the slightest bump. You should see a doctor when you get back," Guo Xuyang said.
"Really?" Li Minxi asked disbelievingly.
"Why would I lie to you? It scared me too. The car was going so fast, it would have been a disaster if it flipped. Luckily, you hit the brakes,"
As they were talking, the cars behind them also started to return one by one.
Li Ziyu ran over as soon as he got out of the car. Seeing Li Minxi standing there unharmed and chatting with people, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Just now, a truck driver on the highway said he collided with a red car on a curve and your phone was unreachable. You scared me to death," he complained as he ran over, his concern evident in his eyes.
This pretty boy probably really likes Li Minxi, Guo Xuyang thought to himself.
"Who answers their phone while driving? That's right, where's my phone?" Li Minxi patted her pockets and exclaimed.
Guo Xuyang had only used his life ability to restore her and the car, he hadn't thought about anything else.
Who knew where the phone had fallen?
"Did it fall in the car? Why don't you look for it?" Lin Ziyang suggested.
Li Minxi searched the car thoroughly but couldn't find her phone.
"Did it fall on the road? Why don't we go back and look?" Lin Ziyang continued.
"Forget it, it's too dark to find it. Besides, the road isn't safe. We'll come back to look tomorrow," Li Minxi said.
"If all else fails, we can just buy a new one. Shall we go back? I'm a bit tired. Let's go, handsome. I'll give you a ride. I'm so tired."
Of course he was tired. After experiencing a near-death situation, how could he not be tired? Guo Xuyang couldn't help but complain inwardly.
In reality, he was more tired than anyone. Every time he used his ability, he felt as if he had just run a marathon, utterly exhausted.
He got into the car with Li Minxi, leaving Li Ziyu standing by the side, fuming.
Su Ran ran over and got into the driver's seat.
"Let me drive you! You two look like you've been up to something naughty, your faces are so pale," she said, starting the car.
Lin Ziyang waved goodbye: "See you later! Drive carefully."
When Guo Xuyang arrived at the club, he realized his phone was also missing.
Without a phone, even finding accommodation was a problem. Who carried cash these days?
"Two beautiful ladies, my phone is also gone," Guo Xuyang said to the two of them.
Li Minxi and Su Ran exchanged a look and smiled: "You're not trying to follow us home, are you?"
"What are you thinking? I really don't have it," he said, turning out his pockets.
Not only was there no phone, but not a single scrap of paper either. He was truly cleaner than his face.
"Without a phone, I can't even contact my friends, and I don't remember their numbers. Do you have any membership cards? Otherwise, I'll go upstairs and rest for the night."
"Never mind, you shouldn't go upstairs. I'll get you a room," Li Minxi said. "Ranran, drive home, and we'll get him a room on the way."
"Thank you, thank you! Can you take me to the Panjiayuan Antique Market? My friends should have all gone back, I'll go there and see."
"It's too late, we'll do it tomorrow. We'll find you a place to rest first, and we'll pick you up tomorrow morning to take you to your friends. How does that sound?"
"That would be fine too. I'm really sorry to trouble you again."
Su Ran found a hotel, booked a room under her own name, and completed the check-in procedures for Guo Xuyang. Then, she and Li Minxi left together.
Guo Xuyang went straight to the room and fell asleep in bed without even washing.
He was truly exhausted.
He had rushed from the provincial capital, non-stop looking at shops, appraising raw stones, playing slot machines, and finally using his life ability, completely draining his body.
He slept until it was pitch black outside.
Wu Youzhi and the others were extremely worried.
When they were finally able to relax, they couldn't find Guo Xuyang anywhere.
At first, they thought Guo Xuyang had hidden somewhere to play and didn't pay much attention.
Later, when they couldn't reach him by phone and his messages went unanswered, they became anxious. They insisted on checking the surveillance footage.
Only when they saw Guo Xuyang being taken away by two young girls on the surveillance footage at the entrance did they finally relax.
They didn't think much of it after that, assuming he had gone out to have fun.
Seeing that their friend was found, Pi Xiaoqian went home, saying they would meet again tomorrow.
Wu Youzhi and Cheng Xiuping followed Wu Bing to the booked hotel.
The next day, Guo Xuyang woke up around mid-morning. He looked at the clothes he was wearing, which were all crumpled and worn out.
He decided to take a shower and get ready to find Wu Youzhi and the others.
Before he had even finished getting dressed, he heard a knock on the door. He concentrated and looked, and saw Li Minxi and another girl standing at the door.
"I'm coming," he replied, quickly putting on his clothes and opening the door.
"So early, didn't you sleep in?" he said.
"You wanted to find your friends, so we came so you wouldn't be anxious," Li Minxi said. Then she peeked inside and sniffed the air.
Guo Xuyang caught her little actions, but he didn't say anything. After all, they had only met twice, and being too familiar too soon might be awkward.
"Didn't you find a beautiful girl to keep you company?" Li Minxi said.
"Company for what? I fell asleep as soon as I got here. I didn't even wash. I was exhausted after the drive with you yesterday."
"Tsk, and you call yourself a man. You're not as good as us," Su Ran said, letting out a laugh.
This made Li Minxi chuckle beside her.
"Are you ready? If you are, let's go."
"Let's go," Guo Xuyang said, walking towards the door.
Su Ran completed the check-out procedures and then drove the two of them to the Panjiayuan Antique Market.
