“Heh heh, you’re my friend too if you’re Xiao Ning’s friend. Let your boyfriend come along, you don’t have to be shy, girl!” Meng Xiyao told Yun Jian looking at her like they all understood what she was thinking.
It was because Chu Ning told Xiao Guizi that Si Yi was Yun Jian’s. It made Meng Xiyao assume that Yun Jian and Si Yi were a couple.
Yun Jian blushed harder when she heard his misunderstanding, but her expression did not look too taken aback.
“He’s not my boyfriend.” She cleared up the air.
Si Yi’s grin drooped a little but he was not angered. Instead, his side profile greeted everyone’s view as he continued after Yun Jian. “I’m not now but I’ll be soon.”
Direct.
It was hard to imagine that someone like Si Yi would say something so coquettish but as he did, it sounded as simple as “Have you eaten today?”.
Yun Jian felt her eyes twitching, not expecting Si Yi to really say such words aloud.
She was not blind to how Si Yi acted around her, but he had never said anything about it.
What he said now startled her.
Yun Jian had no idea that Si Yi had always stayed distant from women and he who had an aversion to women since he was a child, would forever love that one person once he fell in love. In addition, once he realized his own feelings, he would not conceal it. He would not hide it.
It was because of this that Si Yi would speak and act according to his heart in front of everyone else.
“Uh…” Chu Ning gasped but was the first to step up to alleviate the awkward atmosphere.
“Heh, alright, let’s go now. Let’s walk around before the sun sets!” Chu Ning was the first to move after wrapping her arm around Yun Jian as she spoke.
At the same time, Xiao Guizi who walked all the way at the back begrudgingly looked at the tall and handsome Si Yi beside Yun Jian before glancing at her own boyfriend, Meng Xiyao. She thought there and then that the latter lacked so much.
Why! She dug her fingernails into her clenched palms.
Why did she not meet a handsome guy like that first!
…
It would be the date of Yun Jian and the other candidates’ mission two days later.
Ge Junjian had reminded all of them that they were prohibited from a number of things during their mission, so Chu Ning ambled with Yun Jian, trying to have as much fun as possible before their mission.
The sun had set, hiding its light away from the sky now. The neon lights on the street were lit once after another.
“It’s dark now. It’s going to be boring to continue sauntering here. I have an idea. There’s a motorcycle race today at Pan Mountain Roadway. Those who are coming are people we don’t usually see. I heard that there are some international motorcycle racers too! Do you guys want to go check it out together?”
When everyone was bidding goodbye to go home after becoming tired from walking around and not piqued by anything interesting, a boy who looked rather enthusiastic questioned.
“Is it true? Is the news accurate?” another boy asked instantly.
Other than Chu Ning, the other girls were girlfriends of her friends. It was inevitable that these boys wanted to show off their courageous and knowledgeable side in front of their girlfriends. Therefore, they gathered around and decided to go watch the motorcycle race at Pan Mountain Roadway.
