Chapter 79 The Most Awkward Meeting in History

Neighboring city, Linjiang University Town.

It was a Saturday afternoon, the sun was just right, and the commercial street at the entrance of the university town was bustling with people, everywhere overflowing with the breath of youth.

In front of a chic, trendy milk tea shop, two beautiful girls were sitting side by side; their mere presence attracted countless gazes from passing male students.

One of the girls, wearing a high ponytail, was fidgeting with her phone somewhat uneasily. She lifted her head from time to time, looking toward the street corner, her cheeks flushed with a shy anticipation. She was The Department Flower, whose online nickname was Sunny Doll.

"I say, Qingqing, is that mysterious younger guy you've been chatting with online for over half a month actually reliable?" Her short-haired best friend, who was boredly stirring the pearl milk tea in her cup with a straw, couldn't help but tease. "It's been almost an hour, and we haven't even seen a shadow of him. Could it be that he felt your photos were too heavily photoshopped, and he's afraid to show up after seeing you in person?"

"Oh, stop talking nonsense!" Two blushes of crimson instantly flew onto The Department Flower's cheeks. She playfully slapped her best friend. "He said he would give me a big surprise, he must be preparing it! Besides, he said he just came of age and is still in school, but his personality is very mature!"

'He must be tall and handsome, a little overbearing, but pure at heart, and feels very clingy.' The Department Flower hugged her phone tightly, feeling her heartbeat becoming somewhat uncontrollable.

Watching her best friend's lovestruck girl appearance, the short-haired girl shook her head helplessly, her mouth twitching hard, feeling speechless in her heart.

Meanwhile, among the crowd around the milk tea shop, the atmosphere was far less relaxed and comfortable than it appeared on the surface.

Several trendy young men and women were distributed in twos and threes all over the street.

Some were strolling casually, some were looking down at their phones, and others were queuing in front of other shops.

But if one looked closely, one would find that their eyes were always glancing intentionally or unintentionally toward the milk tea shop, with miniature communication earpieces in their ears, and their fingers unnaturally touching their collars or hat brims.

They were undercover police officers from the neighboring city who had urgently deployed here after receiving a cooperation notification from the Baishui City police.

Inside a common black commercial vehicle parked at a nearby street corner, the deputy captain of the neighboring city's criminal investigation detachment was holding binoculars, wearing a look of seeing a ghost, talking to Chen Jianjun of Baishui City via an encrypted channel: "Old Chen, are you sure the target this time... is a toy car that can turn invisible? Why does it feel like we are participating in a large-scale performance art piece? We pulled over the elites from our team's anti-theft and anti-drug squads, just to catch a little brat?"

Chen Jianjun's voice, coming through the earpiece, was filled with exhaustion and carried the weariness of someone who had been through it all: "Believe me, Old Li, you'll know in a moment that this toy car is harder to deal with than any violent criminal you've ever seen. Remember, our primary goal is to ensure the safety of the child in the car; capturing that car is secondary!"

Just then, a unique engine sound came, accompanied by a slight hum of electricity, approaching from afar and clearly entering everyone's ears.

All the undercover police officers were instantly energized, their gazes cast uniformly toward the street corner.

The next second, a matte black miniature off-road vehicle with a highly sci-fi design rushed into everyone's field of vision with an extremely arrogant posture!

It didn't slow down, but instead, at a distance of less than ten meters from the milk tea shop, it suddenly drifted!

Screech—!

A harsh sound of tires rubbing against the ground resounded through the entire commercial street. The small car body drew a perfect black arc on the ground, drifted sideways, and finally stopped steadily at the entrance of the milk tea shop, its front precisely aimed at the spot where The Department Flower and her best friend were sitting.

This set of operations was extremely precise, causing the surrounding students to burst into a wave of exclamations, followed by loud whistles.

Amidst the attention of the public, the scissor doors slowly opened upwards.

A little adult jumped out of the car. He was wearing a miniature custom-made suit, his hair combed meticulously, and he was wearing a pair of small sunglasses on his face.

He was Long Aoao.

'Phew, perfect.' Long Aoao gave his stunning entrance a full score in his heart. 'Sister Qingqing must be completely captivated by my handsomeness and wealth, right?'

He walked with what he considered to be the steadiest pace to The Department Flower, coolly took off his sunglasses, tilted his head up, and with his milky voice, spoke slowly with feigned depth:

"Qingqing, I'm here."

The Department Flower looked at this little brat whose height hadn't even reached her waist, and the expectation on her face instantly froze.

She stared blankly at Long Aoao, her mind blank.

'What's the situation?'

'Whose lost child is this?'

'Where is my tall and handsome younger brother?'

She forced an extremely stiff smile and asked tentatively: "Little friend, are... are you alone? Where is your brother?"

'This must be a joke that little brother played on me, deliberately sending his younger brother to scout the path and test me. Yes, it must be like this.' She thought to herself.

However, Long Aoao frowned, seemingly very dissatisfied with the term "little friend": "I am Long Aoao. Qingqing, why don't you recognize me?"

Boom—

The Department Flower felt her brain buzz.

'The... Long Aoao?'

She was Sunny Doll, and Long Aoao was The little brother she had been dating online for half a month, the one who said all kinds of cheesy pickup lines and made her dream about him!

Her short-haired best friend, upon seeing Long Aoao's face clearly and hearing this conversation, was the first to react. Her mouth opened wide enough to fit an egg, then she covered it tightly with her hands, her shoulders shaking violently uncontrollably, her entire face flushed red, obviously wanting to laugh but not daring to, her expression management completely out of control.

Seeing her best friend's appearance, the last glimmer of hope in The Department Flower's heart was somewhat shattered. She stood there stunned, unable to say a word.

The surrounding students who were watching the show also gradually tasted the meaning, and a wave of irrepressible laughter and discussion arose one after another.

"Holy crap! Is this... a large-scale online dating in-person meeting car crash?"

"I'm dying of laughter! Look at that girl's expression, it's like she ate a fly! Her face is green!"

"This The little brother is awesome! So young and already knows how to drive a sports car to pick up college girls? He is simply a role model for our generation!"

These comments stung The Department Flower. She only felt that everyone's gaze around her carried mockery, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. She felt that in the past twenty years, she had never been so embarrassed.

'Is this the legendary social death?'

Just in this suffocatingly awkward atmosphere, a sudden change occurred!

Woo— Woo— Woo—!

The piercing sound of police sirens suddenly rang out from all directions, instantly drowning out all the noise.

More than a dozen police cars with flashing red and blue lights whistled in from every intersection of the commercial street, forming an encirclement formation, surrounding the area in front of the milk tea shop tightly.
