“I don’t know how.”
“…This is very simple.”
How could someone who raced on tracks not know how to ride an electric scooter?
“I’ll ride with you.”
Zhou Wan hesitated somewhat: “But this bike isn’t meant for passengers, it’s against traffic rules, and there’s no extra helmet.”
“No one’s checking at this hour,” Lu Xixiao casually made up an excuse, “My phone’s dead, can’t scan it.”
Although Zhou Wan was somewhat resistant, she still agreed: “Then I’ll drive you.”
Lu Xixiao laughed: “Oh.”
The electric scooter was narrow, and Zhou Wan only dared to sit on a tiny bit of the seat, her back ramrod straight, as stiff and nervous as if she were standing punishment. Lu Xixiao, on the other hand, was completely at ease, such a big person sitting behind her without feeling any embarrassment at all.
She didn’t dare let her eyes wander, staring straight ahead.
Not noticing a pothole in the road for a moment, the scooter jolted.
Lu Xixiao took the opportunity to fall against her back.
Zhou Wan’s entire spine instantly tensed up, and she quickly said: “I’m sorry, I didn’t see clearly.”
He loosely placed one hand on her waist, as if complaining: “Be more careful, would you?”
Being scolded by him, Zhou Wan didn’t even have time to mind the hand at her waist, apologizing again: “I’m sorry.”
“Such a wide road and you still manage to hit a pothole,” he continued his tone leisurely, seemingly teasing.
Zhou Wan felt like she couldn’t lift her head under his words.
He laughed, with unclear meaning: “Did you do it on purpose?”
“…”
Zhou Wan had never met someone so difficult, having her intentions twisted like this, her face reddening again and again. She stiffened her neck and tried to maintain composure: “Of course not.”
Fortunately, Lu Xixiao didn’t push further.
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The late autumn wind was cool, but Zhou Wan drove very slowly, making the breeze comfortable against their skin.
At a red light, Lu Xixiao looked at her, at the exposed section of her slender white neck.
He tugged at the corner of his mouth and very casually took out his phone to snap a photo of her.
