Jackson sighed and shook hir head, "Do you even know how late it is? It's hardly safe to travel by a taxi alone so late at night."
Yu Chen frowned, "How late is it?" She knew she had spent quite some time here, but had lost track of time.
Chen whipped out her phone to look at the time, and the colour drained from her face at the sight of it.
Meanwhile, Jackson continued, "It's really late. If you don't mind, I can give you a ride. Hey, what's wrong!!!!?????"
He stared at Yu Chen, who sat motionless, staring at her phone.
Yu Chen looked up at Jackson and it was good that she was wearing a mask, because right Chen looked like a person who knew that hell is coming for her.
Jackson reached out and shook Chen's shoulder, saying, "Hey, what's wrong? I realise it's late, but no reason to be so shocked. What do you say, I'll give you a lift? Make sure you get home safe?"
Yu Chen stared at him stupidly, like a person who doesn't know what is happening around her.
As Jackson began to worry why was the girl in front of her sitting like a statue, because of course he could not see Chen's face and how horrified she looked, Chen was pulled back when her phone ringed again.
Yu Chen stared at her phone, she picked it up and got up to walk away.
As soon as the call connected, Si Xia's furious voice screamed through the phone, "Where the hell are you!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!"
Yu Chen stammered, "Umm.... I'm.... Umm...."
Si Xia thundered again, "Yu Chen!! Damn it!! Tell me where are you right now!!!"
Yu Chen gulped three times before she found her voice well enough to answer, "I'm.... I'm..."
Though her voice was fine, Chen's courage failed her.
Xia thundered again, "Do you have any idea how worried we all have been? Where the hell are you!?!?!?"
Chen took a deep breath and blurted out, "I'm at a dance stadium."
Now it was Xia's turn to lose his voice. He had expected many things, but dance stadium, was not one of them.
Yu Chen's voice was so small when she spoke next that it was barely audible, "Xia?"
Si Xia calmed himself and took a few deep breaths. His voice was rather controlled when he spoke, though the teeth gritting was clear, "Send me your location. We'll talk face to face."
Though Yu Chen did not like the sound of talking face to face, she was still relieved and glad that he was not so angry so as to ditch her. Chen hurriedly sent her location to Xia and the call disconnected immediately.
Chen kept staring at her phone guiltily. There were 37 missed calls from Si Xia, 25 from Xi Hua, and even 12 from Huo Zenghai. She realised how much she had worried them, coming here like this.
All these thoughts were running through her head when Chen felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned around to see Jackson standing there, looking worried.
"So, do you want me to drop you home?" He asked.
Yu Chen shook her head, "My friend is coming to pick me up." "And probably lock me up for all eternity." She added internally.
Jackson nodded, looking a bit disappointed. Before he could say anything else, someone called out to him from the direction of the stage.
