Chapter 27: Welfare Home

Drizzle.

A steady light rain.

It fell inside the car, covered by the gentle, soothing piano music, everything was very quiet, with only the sound of the windshield wipers slowly moving.

Gu Shen sat in the passenger seat, breathed on his palm through his sleeve to warm it, then wiped the side window, watching the high-rise buildings flow in reverse, the increasingly empty medians. The car went onto the highway, heading towards the remote, desolate suburbs.

Nan Jin's trench coat was taken off and folded on the back seat. She wasn't always wearing her tight-fitting battle suit under that coat, like today, for this informal casual occasion where she wore a snow-white shirt paired with washed denim jeans. Perhaps due to her well-proportioned figure, the shirt was stretched tight; with her red hair bundled up, she looked nothing like a savage fighter; she seemed more like a knowledgeable and gentle senior.
