"Her surname is Qi, seven years younger than me. Let's just call her Qi."
"I met Qi because of a business trip to the south."
"During that trip, after finishing business with the partner, I declined their arrangements and decided to drive out on my own."
"Unfortunately, the weather wasn't kind, and it suddenly started raining halfway."
"Just when I was about to drive back to the hotel, I saw a young girl running in the rain."
"There was nowhere nearby to take shelter, so I stopped the car beside her and offered her a ride to escape the rain..."
Recalling the past, Xu Jie's face showed a hint of nostalgia.
Smiling, he continued, "Naturally, this young girl was Qi."
"Qi kept thanking me, saying she left in a rush and forgot to bring an umbrella."
"I told her there was no need to be polite, then asked where she was headed so I could give her a lift."
"At first, she said it wasn't necessary, she'd get off when the rain stopped."
