The Barren Northwest [Road Trip Novel]

# Miserable government worker × oil and gas engineer

Lu Jinyi bought a plane ticket to Xining.

After landing, she rented a car and set off on a road trip through the great Northwest.

She wanted the vastness of the world to dilute her pain, or to die out here.

When her car got stuck in a remote area, Lu Jinyi used the faint signal to post a message on her social media, a kind of farewell to the world.

Three minutes later, a call came in.

A familiar, cool voice spoke: “Coordinates.”

An hour later, Jiang Yichuan opened her car door. He wore sunglasses, and the gale had blown his hair into a mess.

As he crouched to fix the car, Lu Jinyi said, “Didn't I block you?”

“Taking vacation, too?”

“Playing the cool, silent type?”

He said, “Shut up.”

Her first love, whom she hadn't seen in eight hundred years, appeared again, and the two became road-trip partners.

On the endless gray roads and desolate plains, tomorrow and their destination were swept away by the howling wind.

They chased the sunset to the horizon,

held each other for warmth in a pitch-black tent,

shared burning breaths in a small inn,

and saw sides of each other they'd never known before.

Under a midnight meteor shower, Lu Jinyi saw Jiang Yichuan secretly making a wish.

She asked what he wished for.

He said, “That this road would never end.”

Note: Both leads are sexually inexperienced.

Theme: Work hard at life and keep looking up.
