The wallet and the phone were gone, ‘What could I do?’ Jasmine thought.
She looked to the driver sat in front of her, “Sir, I...”
“Miss, you're not going to pay, right?” the driver wore a sullen look and thought, ‘It's not easy to do
business at night.’
“No, I lost my wallet and my phone...”
Jasmine wanted to explain to him, but the car driver refused to listen to her, “Whatever you say is none
of my business. Pay me off the fare. I'm a cab driver, and I'm not doing it for charity. The fare is not
much and is only 10 dollars, and you're going to bilk?”
“I'm not trying to bilk. I lost my wallet,” Jasmine said eagerly, and she did not intend to bilk.
She was more anxious than anyone else.
She had no money, and her phone was gone.
“Okay, you lose your belongings, but you still have friends, right? Anyway, you have to pay me off and
don't try to,” the cab driver was upset because he did not know whether he could get the fare, and it
also delayed him to carry the next guest, “I'm unlucky to meet you.”
“I'm sorry, I'm sorry,” Jasmine was anxious.
“Give your friend a call,” the driver handed over his phone to Jasmine. Jasmine's face lightened up, but
soon her face darkened because she did not remember Boyce's phone number.
“I...”
Jasmine thought, ‘Call classmates in City B can't help me. While the grass grows, the horse starves.
What should I do?’
She felt chagrined, ‘How come I don't remember Boyce's phone number?’
She was the first to save Boyce's new phone number when he changed his phone number. She even
remarked his name in the contact book. After that, the phone displayed Boyce's name every time they
sent messages and calls. So she did not notice the phone number.
Jasmine wanted to call him but did not remember his phone number.
The cab driver was impatient, “Why don't you call?”
“I have only one friend here, but I forget his phone number...”
“Get out of my car! Get out of here!” the driver pulled a long face to chase her away, “It's tough luck to
meet people like you!”
Jasmine repeated her apology to the driver, “I'm sorry, I'm really sorry.”
“Hurry up and get out of my car. Don't delay me to carry the next guest. It's tough luck to meet you,
don't waste my time. What's the use of apologizing? I'll send you to the police station if you're a man.”
“I'm sorry, I'm sorry...”
Jasmine opened the car door and got out of the car. It was raining cats and dogs, and it drenched her
to the skin instantly. She closed the car door. The car covered her with water when it drove away
quickly.
Boyce was living in a building instead of in a residential area. The entrance was closed, and she could
not enter the building. There was no place around to hide from the rain.
The rain was cold after autumn. She saw that her clothes were soaked, and she was shivering with
cold.
She was in the rain for a long time, and then she found a narrow eave to take shelter from the rain. The
rain would not stop for a little while yet.
After about 20 minutes, a car drove over and stopped at the parking lot in front of the entrance.
Boyce got out of the car with an umbrella. Jasmine could barely see the figure because the light was
dim. When Boyce was almost at the entrance, Jasmine could see the figure clearly that it was Boyce.
She ran over to him, “Boyce.”
Boyce looked in the direction of the sound. He saw a petite figure who was running over to himself
through the rain and against the wind. She looked messy.
“Jasmine?” Boyce was stunned for a second, then he immediately walked over to her and held up the
umbrella for her to block the rain, “What happened to you?”
Jasmine wrapped her arms around and shivered like a wretch, “I came to find you and wanted to give
you a surprise. But my handbag was snagged by a thief, my wallet and phone are lost.”
Boyce pressed the umbrella into her hand, took off his coat to wrap her in it. He said nothing and
walked into the building with her in his arms.
“What is this place?” Jasmine asked with her lips quivering.
“I'm temporarily living here,” Boyce held her tightly. He wanted to warm her with his body temperature.
She was so cold that he could feel it through the clothes.
He did not know how long she had been in the rain and thought, ‘Will she get sick?’
“Ahchoo!” Jasmine sneezed.
At this time, they arrived at the door room. Boyce opened the door and walked into the bathroom to
take out a dry towel. He walked over to Jasmine to wipe her face, “Hurry up, take off your wet clothes.”
The room was not big, and there were only a bedroom and a bathroom. The room was simple, with
only a cabinet and a table there.
Jasmine unfastened the buttons of her clothes. Her hands were a little bit stiff. Boyce saw she was
slow in action, and then he helped her to take off her clothes. Soon, there were only some simple
clothes left on Jasmine's body. Boyce did not think so much and was afraid she would be sick, so he
took her wet clothes off.
After cleaning her with a towel, he carried her to the bed and covered her with a quilt.
Jasmine huddled under a quilt, and she felt much more comfortable and warm.
Boyce went to pour a glass of warm water for Jasmine. He raised her gently and handed the glass of
water over to her lips, “Drink some warm water.”
Jasmine took two sips of water with the glass that was in his hand, “Okay.”
Boyce put down the glass and touched her forehead. He was afraid that she would have a fever.
Jasmine huddled and whispered, “I'm fine, don't worry. I won't get sick. I'm physically well. I didn't even
get sick when I was a kid.”
Boyce cuddled her and took out his phone. He wanted to get her some hot soup to fend off a chill.
However, there was no restaurant open at this time.
There was nothing in his house. He could not even cook a bowl of ginger water.
Boyce held her petite body in his arms, and it made his heartache to see her like this, “Tell me earlier, I
can go and pick you up.”
Jasmine fluttered her eyelashes, “I wanted to give you a surprise,” she raised her head, and her hair
was still wet after wiping, “I came to see you, are you happy? Are you happy to see me?”
