With Lu Youyou around, Xu Lie finally felt at ease, a sense of relaxation washing over him that was hard to describe. He didn’t really need a break; the month off from work was more than enough. Not to mention, he had already spent quite a long time in the world of Cang Hai Jue, idly drinking tea and fishing all day. He was almost getting bored out of his mind.
Thinking of visiting Lu Youyou, he quickly initiated his third performance. However, he hadn’t expected that the high school girl he once knew was now preparing for college. It seemed that Lu Youyou’s timeline was in sync with his; he had also been in the world of Cang Hai Jue for over a year.
“What are you thinking about?” At that moment, Lu Youyou pushed out a small white electric scooter.
Xu Lie deliberately put on a troubled expression. “I’m wondering who’s going to carry whom.”
“Hmph!” Lu Youyou smirked at his words, her confidence shining through. She had practiced riding the scooter during her summer vacation before her senior year and was quite good at it! With full confidence, she patted the seat and gave a thumbs-up toward the backrest. “Get on! I’ll take you for a ride.”
“I practiced riding electric scooters during my summer break in senior year, so don’t worry about falling off.”
“Oh?” The awkwardness on Xu Lie’s face faded as a playful smile appeared. “You don’t mind if I sit behind and wrap my arms around your waist, do you?”
Lu Youyou blinked, her confidence wavering as her cheeks flushed red again. How could he think of such a thing? A girl’s waist wasn’t something one could just touch casually! Although they had kissed before, girls still got shy about these things.
Lu Youyou planned to take a step back and let Xu Lie drive instead. However, Xu Lie anticipated her move and cut off her retreat. “I can drive too; I just want to see how well the brakes work on this thing.”
No matter how naive Lu Youyou was, she understood some things instinctively. She glanced down and realized she couldn’t even see her toes. If Xu Lie were to play tricks and suddenly brake, with inertia, she would end up crashing into him—wouldn’t that give him an unfair advantage?
Her face turned as red as an apple. “Why are you like this? The old you wouldn’t have such bad thoughts!”
Xu Lie shrugged off her reproach with thick skin. “Come on, cut me some slack; I’ve been cooped up in the Biological Research Institute for over a year.”
Lu Youyou didn’t care whether Xu Lie was being serious or not; she was genuinely concerned. “So, how have you been over there?”
Seeing Lu Youyou's innocence, Xu Lie couldn't bear to tease her any longer and took the initiative to grab the small electric scooter. "Let's talk on the way; we wouldn't want you to be late."
Lu Youyou shot him an annoyed glance. "Is that all you want, to take advantage of me?!"
Despite rolling her eyes, she eventually settled down in the back seat, wrestling with her thoughts for a moment before convincing herself. Fine, fine, she thought, just consider it a little indulgence. Xu Lie had been cooped up at the Biological Research Institute and must be going stir-crazy. Hmph, she hoped he would remember her kindness.
Gently wrapping her arms around Xu Lie's waist, she naturally pressed against his back. Xu Lie felt a flutter in his heart. "Ahem, hold on tight; we're about to set off."
Lu Youyou buried her little head behind him and softly muttered, "Pervert!"
As Xu Lie twisted the throttle and drove onto the main road, he began to share about his own experiences. "The conditions at the research institute are definitely good—delicious food and sweet drinks. But having to do biological research from morning till night can be a bit annoying."
This wasn't just idle chatter; it was Xu Lie's firsthand experience living in this world as a Bionic Person. He merely recounted what he had gone through. However, he couldn't help but recall how tasteless meals were in the world of Cang Hai Jue: eating alone always felt somewhat lonely.
Lu Youyou's eyes narrowed slightly, and her grip around Xu Lie tightened. "I'm sorry; we clearly had an agreement..."
