Just as Su Qiubai continued to stare blankly at the two dogs, he suddenly heard the sound of high heels clicking on the ground from the side.

Turning his head, Su Qiubai saw a woman who seemed like a celestial being descending from heaven!

Her skin was as fair as warm jade, her figure slender, and her eyes like two deep gemstones. Most importantly, her aura was elegant with a touch of serenity, and within that serenity, there was a hint of purity, and in that purity... a little bit of playfulness!

"Honey, come home with me quickly!"

Just as Su Qiubai was lost in thought, the woman suddenly walked over to him, speaking with a smile.

Honey... Is she talking to me? Could this be the legendary good fortune in love?

His mind went blank for a moment, and Su Qiubai broke into a big smile, about to respond.

But a little dog wagging its tail had already run over to the woman and was picked up into her arms.

Uh... How awkward!

Su Qiubai's hand had already reached out but stopped in mid-air, and the words "hello" got stuck in his throat.

"Excuse me, is there something you need?"

The woman, while petting the dog's head, noticed Su Qiubai's somewhat strange appearance and asked softly.

Her voice was like the sound of a lute, gently brushing through Su Qiubai's mind.

"Y-You... Hello, my name is Su Qiubai."

He quickly pulled his hand back and managed to finish the sentence.

"He's a pervert, peeping at me when I was... you know..."

Before the woman could speak, the dog suddenly barked twice, making Su Qiubai's face turn green.

"I'm not a pervert!"

In front of the beautiful woman, he hurriedly explained, flustered.

As a result, the woman's face, which had been smiling, suddenly stiffened.

Only then did Su Qiubai come to his senses, his face turning red. "S-Sorry, I tend to talk nonsense."

This made the woman's expression even worse.

Not explaining would have been better; explaining just made things worse, making her think he was even more of a pervert!

The woman finally gave a polite smile, then turned and left with the dog, leaving Su Qiubai feeling a sense of loss.

"It's fine, I didn't do well this time, but maybe there will be a chance next time... But, I can actually understand what dogs are saying!"

After giving himself a pep talk, Su Qiubai returned to the initial problem.

This experience made him even more convinced that something magical had happened to his taxi, from taking Wu Song back to Jingyang Ridge to the growth points he had just received, it must all be real!

Thinking about this, he couldn't contain his excitement and hurried back to chat with his dog, Wangcai, to find out if all of this was really true!

Su Qiubai's dog, Wangcai, was a common Chinese rural dog that he had brought back from his grandmother's house in the countryside, and it was his only support in the city.

That night, in his fifty-square-meter rented room, Su Qiubai and Wangcai chatted until midnight.

From the past to the future, from ancient and modern times, to poetry and literature, the two of them felt a deep connection, so much so that the neighbors eventually came to knock on the door.

"Are you fucking crazy? If I hear that dog barking again, I'll call the police tomorrow!"

Su Qiubai's neighbor was a middle-aged woman in menopause, usually very short-tempered, and the fact that she had waited until now to knock on the door showed that she had been trying to cultivate her temperament.

After apologizing profusely, Su Qiubai finally calmed down his excited mood.

He had already forgotten the small setback from the day, the only regret being the bad impression he had left on that beautiful woman, and not even knowing her name.

Finally, after comforting himself that there might still be a chance, Su Qiubai decided to go to sleep, as he had to start work at eight in the morning.

Before going to bed, he checked his phone and found that his WeChat Moments comments had exploded!

Because of the picture and text he had posted, many friends who hadn't contacted him in a long time had left comments.

"Having a brain is a good thing, I hope you have one..."

"I calculated with my fingers, the OP is crazy."

"Did a pig run into a tree, or did you run into a pig?"

"Su Qiubai, where did you find that big guy? Did you force him to take a picture after a deal?"

...

"Su Qiubai, I didn't expect you to still be driving a taxi after two years."

Suddenly, the last comment made him freeze.

Liu Mo, Su Qiubai's ex-girlfriend, had dated for four years in college and had planned to spend their lives together after graduation, but she had run off with a big boss in the entertainment industry.

Su Qiubai knew Liu Mo had always wanted to be a star, so although he was heartbroken by being betrayed by the person he loved the most, he could only accept it helplessly.

He hadn't been in touch for two years, and now Liu Mo had reappeared because of a WeChat Moments post, saying such a thing.

Damn it, what does it matter to you that I'm driving a taxi! You look down on taxi drivers, don't you! Why don't you take a picture with Wu Song!

Although he cursed under his breath, he knew no one would really believe that the person in the picture was the famous Erlang Shen!

But it didn't matter, now with this awesome navigation system, he might see Wu Song again and live-stream it to these guys!

Thinking about this, Su Qiubai cheered up, put Liu Mo out of his mind, and fell asleep with Wangcai.

What a wonderful day!

The next morning, Su Qiubai was woken by the alarm clock and took a while to realize he needed to go to work. He had been dreaming about watching a movie with the beautiful woman from the night before and didn't want to wake up.

After dragging himself to get ready, it was still early, and Su Qiubai went downstairs to his taxi.

Others worked in shifts, but because he hadn't found a reliable partner, he had been driving the car himself without anyone to take over.

After getting in the car, he immediately heard the navigation system start up, unsure if it was bound to the car or to him.

Remembering that he had five growth points left from last night, Su Qiubai eagerly looked at the complex interface.

Finally, he found something interesting in the additional options, called "Flower Points," which could be consumed.

This made Su Qiubai very excited. He had been single for two years after breaking up with Liu Mo and had been trying to find a girlfriend but hadn't succeeded!

A man's heart always yearns for something, doesn't it?

Thinking about this, he added one growth point, then hesitated and added another, and after much deliberation, he added all five.

"Please, heaven, don't let this be for nothing!"

He silently prayed, his eyes constantly scanning the window, hoping a beautiful woman might suddenly leave her contact information.

After waiting for ten minutes, not even a man passed by, and Su Qiubai felt a bit depressed. It was time to go to work, so he started the car and drove out.

But just a few meters in, something hit the window.

He was stunned, thinking it was another bad start like yesterday.

But when he got out of the car, he saw a white puppy lying on the ground, looking at him pitifully.

At first glance, Su Qiubai recognized it as the pet of the beautiful woman from last night.

"Quick... save my owner, she fainted in the room!"

Just as he was wondering what was happening, the dog suddenly spoke to him.

It was really like that!

Hearing this, Su Qiubai immediately panicked.

"Lead the way!" Without thinking, he pointed ahead and said to the dog.

An old man passing by glanced at Su Qiubai and shook his head.

"My leg was injured when I jumped out of the window. Carry me, and I'll show you the way!"

The white puppy's voice was indeed weak, and Su Qiubai noticed its hind leg was drooping.

He quickly picked it up and started running, surprising many people with his speed.

The more he ran, the more surprised Su Qiubai became. The white puppy was leading him straight to the wealthy residential area in the east, a place he had never been to before, and he never imagined he would enter it this way.

But the security guard at the entrance stopped him, demanding to see his ID and register.

"I've already said, someone's life is at stake, and it's too late if we wait any longer!"

Holding the white puppy, Su Qiubai explained anxiously.

"No, we must ensure the safety of the residents. Besides... you're a taxi driver, right? Do you have a friend in there? Or are you a thief?"

The fat security guard paused, raised his eyebrows, and looked down on Su Qiubai.

"I... Forget it, I won't explain to you. Let me in quickly! It's really a matter of life and death!"

Su Qiubai felt his head burning, but the security guard wouldn't budge and even called for backup on his walkie-talkie.

"If you keep causing trouble, I'll call the police!"

Hearing this, Su Qiubai decided not to waste any more time, and the white puppy in his arms was barking anxiously.

Taking advantage of the fat security guard's distraction, he rushed into the residential area.

"Quick, the building ahead, my owner lives on the third floor. The password to open the door is 778899. She's lying in the kitchen, and she was already unconscious when I left... You're a good person, it's worth it for me to come so far to find you."

The white puppy directed Su Qiubai while speaking.

Taking a quick look at the security guards chasing him, Su Qiubai turned back and replied.

"Would anyone else understand what you're saying?"

As he spoke, Su Qiubai had already darted into the building...
