Gu Nanqiao felt emotionally adrift, not even aware of how she got into the car, until she heard the driver asking and finally snapped back to reality.
Her recent action of getting in the car seemed impromptu, as if it was merely a physical reflex rather than a considered decision.
But now that she was already inside, there seemed little reason to get out again.
She might as well go; there were many unsolved mysteries that couldn't be understood by her random thoughts alone, nor by fooling herself into believing nothing had happened.
Moreover, without understanding the truth of the matter, she wouldn't be able to move past it in her heart.
Seeing her distracted, the driver couldn't help but speak up again, "I'm not very familiar with Calies Road area, but I have a friend who works in Linxi. I can ask him how to get there once we arrive."
That prompted a response from Gu Nanqiao, "Thank you, master."
