Chapter 10: Toothache! To the crematorium in the middle of the night!
The girl finally grasped the situation. In this instance, she felt like she was in a crook’s vehicle!
The driver’s adeptness behind the wheel utterly bewildered her. However, she found Lin Yang rather captivating. He could drive competently, indicating his emotional intelligence wasn’t lacking. Such allure was incredibly potent for the girl. Disregarding the scenery, she turned and queried, “Driver, is there a distinction between a man with high EQ and one with low EQ?”
Lin Yang pondered briefly, “High emotional intelligence means spending quality time with someone you fancy.”
“And low EQ?” “Today isn’t good!” The woman swiftly comprehended, bursting into laughter.
Lin Yang, a bit impatient, warned, “Beautiful girl, hold back that $500 vomit on the bus, or don’t blame me!”
Fortunately, she merely chuckled without spewing. However, Lin Yang’s remark irked her. A call later, a man promptly fetched her. Uncharacteristically opting for a taxi today, she felt repeatedly urged to expel $500 in the car, making her feel rejected. Her self-esteem took a substantial hit!

[I understand it. This guy drives when he disagrees. If he works harder, this girl can be dragged home tonight.].
[One scumbag, the identification is complete. I don’t know how many young girls Lin Yang already has; otherwise, he wouldn’t have such high driving skills.].
[Men are not bad. Women don’t love them. The more they are like this, the more women like them. On the contrary, the kind of honest and trustworthy ones can only be the receivers. They seem to be honest, but they don’t understand romance at all. After all, women are emotional animals, and sweet words are better than sincerity!].
[Very agree, especially those who can tell dirty jokes are easier to pick up girls. She no longer rejects her verbally and will soon accept her physically. One of my buddies is like this. Every day, a bunch of women surround him to listen to dirty jokes and sleep with whomever he wants.].
….
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped outside the girl’s house. By then, her intoxication had considerably waned. After settling the fare, she hesitated to leave the car. Catching sight of Lin Yang’s appearance, a sudden rush of emotion hit her, and under the influence of alcohol, she mustered the courage to lean towards him.
With a playful grin, she asked, “Hey, can you take me home and join me for a drink, brother?”
Lin Yang, surprised, tried not to get too much into it. Despite the obvious implications, he wasn’t keen on mingling with bar-goers, fearing potential complications. He turned and replied firmly, “Sorry, I’m just an online taxi driver. No door-to-door service here. Plus, it’s not safe to drink and drive. I will not risk getting in trouble with the traffic police!”
The girl, wide-eyed, was shocked by the response. Inviting a man for the first time only to be rejected felt like a blow to her self-esteem. However, a realization struck her at the next moment.
“Hey, handsome guy… you don’t think I’m a pretty girl, do you? I was at a company dinner, not out for a fun night. I genuinely can’t walk, and I need your help getting home. The drinking and driving misunderstanding is on you.”
With that, she exited the car, leaving Lin Yang perplexed. He breathed a sigh of relief, grateful he didn’t follow her upstairs. The close call left him thinking about the unexpected twists of the night.
The woman pondered the recent encounter, cringing at the impulsive invitation she had extended to a stranger. Her embarrassment manifested in her toes digging into her shoes. The rejection stung, raising doubts about the man’s character. As she examined her appearance in the elevator, usually a center of attention, today’s incident left her feeling less confident.
Frustration mounting, she pulled out her phone while Lin Yang, at the wheel, received an unexpected notification.
“Ding!”
A complaint to headquarters labeled him as “out of his mind.” Lin Yang, reading the message, wore a frustrated expression. He vented his annoyance, “This is ridiculous! Did she complain because I didn’t drive her home? If I had, maybe she’d report me at the police station! It’s tough being a man, especially a decent one. The saying holds – the more beautiful the girl, the more perilous.”
Netizens watching the live broadcast room couldn’t help but find the situation amusing.

[No problem, if I were that beauty, I would give you a bad review, too. It’s so f*cking annoying, I can’t stand it as a bystander.].
[That is, I was looking forward to the plot for a long time, but you forcibly held me down. Pants off, you just show us this?].
[He must not be a qualified old driver. Old drivers are not picky eaters. A beauty of this level, not to mention she came out of a bar, even if she is a prostitute, I am willing!].
[I am not most concerned about this issue now. What I want to know most is where Lin Yang mentioned car maintenance. I also want to take care of it. Do you guys provide a channel!].
….
After just one day on air, Lin Yang had already received two complaints, leaving him anticipating a call or potential suspension from the platform. Helplessly, he realized such situations were beyond his control, chalking it up to unfortunate encounters with certain passengers.
Driving into the evening, around 9:30 PM, Lin Yang, having napped in the afternoon, felt wide awake. Suddenly, a notification chimed on his phone with a familiar “Ding~~,” signaling a new ride request on the app.
[Departure time]: Depart now.
[Distance from you]: 1.55km
[Estimated income]: 29
Departure point: West Sea Pedestrian Street (South Exit)
Destination: West Gate of Seohae University
[Whether to accept the order!].
Lin Yang clicked to accept the ride without the slightest hesitation.
[Ding~~. The ride was successfully booked!!].
Ten minutes later, at the intersection of Pedestrian Street, a young girl, appearing around 20 years old and dressed in cute attire, entered the car. Assessing her clothes, Lin Yang guessed she might be a student. Confirming West Sea University as her destination, they silently embarked on the journey.
Once settled in the back seat, the girl immersed herself in her phone. However, after ten minutes, she suddenly groaned, covering her mouth. “Ouch… the toothache is killing me. Toothache is not a disease. It hurts and kills me! Driver, take me to that crematorium!”
Lin Yang was shocked, a bit uncertain and asked, “Why not go to a hospital?”
The girl, realizing the misunderstanding, couldn’t help but laugh and said, “Not what you think. I’m an undertaker, the kind who puts makeup on people who have just died. The crematorium contacted me, and there are two deceased in need of makeup. I had to change the route. Please trouble your master!”
Listening to the explanation, Lin Yang couldn’t help but feel a headache. The cute girl turned out to be an embalmer, a stark contrast that caught him off guard. Despite the late hour, he obliged and adjusted the navigation to head to the crematorium in West Sea City.
