As Marshall drove to the location of Katherine, he happened to see that someone was accosting her.
With a cool and neat look, he was seemingly a college student.
He said that he saw Katherine had been sitting there for a long while, and was wondering if she had encountered any trouble.
Katherine stood up, embarrassed, "I'm OK, and I'm just waiting for someone."
The young man awkwardly scratched his hair and asked, "Which school are you from? Maybe we can head our way back together."
Katherine was even more embarrassed hearing the words of the young man since she had never been to college.
She waved her hands and answered, "I'm not a student."
"Well, you look pretty young." The boy smiled shyly. Katherine pursed her lips and didn't know how to respond. Marshall had already caught sight of the two when he pulled up. Obviously, the boy had began to blush.
Marshall couldn't help but sneer thinking that given the romantic atmosphere between them, this young man would be by no doubt a good match for Katherine. Slowly, he pulled the car closer and planned to wait for a little longer. When the boy was about to leave, he was seemingly a little reluctant to do so and turned around to see her again. Katherine took a deep sigh and turned around to see Marshall's car. She adjusted her facial expression to normal and opened the door.
Marshall smiled, "You're really good at socializing, aren't you?"
Katherine peered at him from the corner of her eyes and hummed. "There will be still men chasing after me even if you leave me behind."
Marshall gave no response and drove away. They barely said anything to each other as the car drove on and Marshall didn't seem to ask why Katherine was out. In her mind, she thought that he would never care about her. He had just left her alone with the young man and didn't give a shit about whatever happened between them even though he had already been there a few moments ago. In fact, she had already gotten the same feeling a long, long time ago while she still somehow couldn't bear it even now. The car took a detour and left the downtown area before heading to the suburb. The car stopped right on the border between downtown and the countryside. Marshall swerved and drove into an alley. There was a manor at the end of the alley with its gate opened. The sound of traditional Chinese opera slipped into her ears before she stepped into the manor that she had heard before on television, but she couldn't tell which type of opera it exactly was. Even though the valley was really narrow, the inside of the messuage was relatively wide enough. Marshall pulled the car into the driveway. There was a man, dressed in a frock with a string of Buddhist beads hung around his neck standing there.
The man laughed delightfully and looked at Marshall who had just come out of the car, "Well, finally! You are here!"
