Chapter 54 p2: Bright Moon. The moon took the initiative to fall for her.
Cheng Yang had never ridden an electric scooter before. She had only seen people riding this kind of vehicle in cars. It was small, and you could also carry someone on the back.
“Wifey, I don’t know how to ride a bike.”
Xu Xun found the pink electric scooter, took the tissue from the program team, and wiped the seat.
“You sit in the back. I’ll give you a ride.”
Cheng Yang obediently moved to the back and, copying the way she had seen people ride an electric scooter with someone, she sat on it with her legs parted.
“Wifey, look. Is this right?”
Xu Xun smiled and reached out to rub Cheng Yang’s head. “Yes, Yangyang is so smart.”
She sat in the front and gave a warm reminder, “The road here is a bit bumpy. Hold onto my waist tightly. Be careful not to fall. It will hurt a lot if you fall.”
Cheng Yang quickly and obediently wrapped her arms around Xu Xun’s waist and also pressed her face against her.
“Look at me. Is this right?”
Xu Xun smiled and nodded. “Mmm, Yangyang is so obedient.”
Cheng Yang was a sucker for this. She was so coaxed that her fur was smoothed.
“Then you should ride a little slower. I’m also afraid you’ll fall.”
The experience of sitting on the back of an electric scooter was very novel. Cheng Yang had only ever been in a Rolls-Royce and had never experienced this kind of primitive vehicle.
The evening breeze on her face was very comfortable. Cheng Yang slowly closed her eyes and stretched out her arms to feel the breeze.
Xu Xun smiled. She didn’t have to look back to know what she was doing.
“How is it? Is the electric scooter fun?”
Cheng Yang lay on Xu Xun’s shoulder with a smile. “I’ve never been on one before. It’s indeed very comfortable and very novel.”
Xu Xun couldn’t help but laugh and teased, “If it weren’t for me, you probably would never have come into contact with an electric scooter in this lifetime.”
Cheng Yang tilted her head and kissed the side of Xu Xun’s face. “Thank you, wifey. A big kiss for you.”
Xu Xun let out a soft chuckle. “It’s not enough. You can kiss me a few more times.”
She was riding the bike relatively slowly, and Cheng Yang also kissed her all the way.
After kissing the left side of her face, she switched to the right. Both sides had to be treated equally.
The closer they got to the commercial street, the more pedestrians there were on the road.
Cheng Yang was not done kissing, but there were too many people, so she didn’t dare to continue, for fear of being seen and gossiped about.
Xu Xun parked the electric scooter in the parking area. “Yangyang, you can get off first. I’ll push the bike in.”
This electric scooter was a bit short. Cheng Yang’s two long legs had been dangling all the way, and the soles of her shoes had been scraped many times.
Because she was wearing slippers, the journey had been bumpy, and she had also hit her toe.
Afraid that Xu Xun would worry about her, Cheng Yang had to endure the pain and not speak.
After getting off the bike, she looked down at her dirty toes, aggrieved.
After parking the bike, Xu Xun turned her head and saw Cheng Yang’s aggrieved expression, staring straight at her.
“Wifey, my foot hurts. I hit a stone just now.”
Xu Xun was very heartbroken, but she didn’t know where the stone that had hit Cheng Yang’s toe had come from.
“Didn’t you put your feet on it? How did you still hit it?”
As she spoke, she squatted on the ground, looked at Cheng Yang’s dirty toes, her face full of heartache.
“Does it still hurt now? It doesn’t look swollen.”
Cheng Yang quickly pulled Xu Xun up. “It just hurt a little when I hit it, and it was scraped on the ground for a while. It’s fine now.”
Xu Xun was still confused. “Is this support thing broken?”
Cheng Yang couldn’t help but ask, “What support thing?”
“…”
Now Xu Xun had finally found the cause of the problem.
“It’s the… this thing on both sides of the electric scooter.”
Xu Xun didn’t know how to explain to Cheng Yang, so she took her hand and walked to the side of the electric scooter, and casually pointed to one.
“Look, these two places are for your feet. That way, your two legs will have support, and they won’t have to dangle, and they won’t hit other things.”
Cheng Yang had a sudden realization and scratched her hair in embarrassment.
At the same time, a big man walked over, looked at the two of them looking down at his electric scooter, and couldn’t help but mumble.
“What are you doing? Are you trying to steal my electric scooter?”
“…”
He had a strong smell of alcohol on him. Cheng Yang quickly took Xu Xun’s hand and led her away.
“Is this person’s brain damaged from drinking too much? We’re stealing his electric scooter? Do we look like people who lack an electric scooter?”
Xu Xun wrapped one arm around Cheng Yang’s waist. “Don’t mind him. He might go crazy from drinking later. We should stay away from this kind of person and not provoke him.”
As she spoke, Xu Xun leaned closer to Cheng Yang’s ear. “Look at his arms. They’re all covered in tattoos, and he’s full of muscles. If we really get into a conflict, we’ll be bleeding before the police even arrive.”
Cheng Yang pinched the soft flesh on her shoulder. “If only I were a robot. Then no one could bully us. If we ran into a bad guy, we could just shoot him with a laser and guarantee that he would be blown to bits and unable to move.”
The combination of being blown to bits and being unable to move sounded strange no matter how you heard it.
Xu Xun said with a smile, “Alright, this is a harmonious society now. Don’t do this kind of fighting and killing. Let’s go, let’s go shopping.”
After saying this, she held Cheng Yang’s wrist.
The ancient city at night was more beautiful than during the day, with bright lights and people coming and going.
And the ultraviolet rays at night were not strong. They didn’t have to wear sunscreen clothes, and they didn’t have to apply sunscreen, and they weren’t afraid of getting tanned.
However, there were indeed many tricks here. On the way, Cheng Yang was deceived several times.
Every time, it was Xu Xun who came to the rescue, and she was already used to it.
Xu Xun said earnestly, “Those who are very enthusiastic and invite you in to have a taste are mostly dishonest merchants, who specialize in cheating outsiders.”
Cheng Yang held up the tea in her hand. “What about these?”
Xu Xun smiled helplessly and pinched Cheng Yang’s earlobe. “We just weighed these. A bag of tea is five hundred yuan. The market price is not even half of that.”
She held the tea bag and sniffed it. “And this tea is not good. It doesn’t smell fragrant at all. Let’s make tea eggs tomorrow.”
Cheng Yang’s face was long, a look of guilt on her face.
“But I bought a lot. We can’t just make tea eggs, right?”
After saying this, she lowered her head and said nothing, her eyes filled with water.
“I didn’t expect them to coax me into buying so much. I thought it was very light, but I didn’t expect that just a little bit would add up to more than two thousand. I know I was wrong.”
Xu Xun smiled helplessly, held Cheng Yang, and comforted her, “It’s fine. Tea can also be made into many delicious things. And it’s not your fault. How could I blame you?”
Cheng Yang held the tea, and she still felt bad after being deceived.
She had heard from Xu Xun before that there were many scammers in the ancient city and had told her to be careful.
She had sworn that she would never be deceived, but in the time it had taken for Xu Xun to turn her head, she had been scammed out of two thousand yuan.
On the way shopping, seeing that Cheng Yang was always looking down, Xu Xun couldn’t help but smile.
“Alright, don’t think too much about this little thing. Although we were deceived, we’ve learned our lesson. We won’t be easily deceived in the future.”
Cheng Yang nodded, feeling that the tea in her hand was like a hot potato.
“Mmm, I’ll remember. The next time I run into those enthusiastic people, I’ll stay away.”
This was a bit too absolute, but it was also right.
For those who were inexplicably enthusiastic, it was best to stay away, otherwise it would be easy to get burned.
In short, when Xu Xun had just entered society, she had also been cheated by this so-called enthusiastic person.
Cheng Yang held Xu Xun’s hand tightly. When she ran into those very enthusiastic people, she would quickly snuggle into her embrace.
Once bitten, twice shy. This sentence was perfectly demonstrated on Cheng Yang.
Xu Xun smiled, said nothing, and led Cheng Yang through the ancient city.
She was full from dinner, but when Cheng Yang smelled the smell of the street stalls, she was hungry again.
“Wifey, it smells so good. What are these delicious things?”
Xu Xun leaned closer to Cheng Yang’s ear and lowered her voice. “They’re all junk food. It’s not good for your health if you eat too much.”
Cheng Yang took a deep breath and stood in front of the barbecue stall, motionless.
“I want to eat.”
Xu Xun held Cheng Yang from behind and reached out to touch her slightly protruding belly.
“You’re so full, and you still want to eat barbecue? What if you get indigestion and have a stomachache?”
Cheng Yang pouted and looked at Xu Xun with an aggrieved expression.
“I’ll just have a little. Just a little. I definitely won’t eat too much.”
Xu Xun frowned and raised an eyebrow slightly.
“Really?”
Cheng Yang nodded vigorously. “Really! I’ll just have one skewer!”
Xu Xun confirmed again, “Really just one skewer?”
Cheng Yang held up three fingers. “I swear!”
One skewer, and another, and another.
On the table in front of Cheng Yang was a pile of clean bamboo skewers.
She took a sip of iced beer and rubbed her small belly.
“Ah, so refreshing!”
Xu Xun sat in front of her. Seeing that Cheng Yang was drinking another mouthful of iced beer, she couldn’t help but worry about her health.
“Alright, alright.”
Xu Xun “snatched” the beer from her hand, tilted her head back and took a sip, and smiled helplessly. “Someone just promised me that they would only have one skewer. Who ate all these now? Is there a ghost?”
Cheng Yang rubbed her small belly and said with some guilt, “I think there’s a ghost.”
Xu Xun’s face was cold. Seeing that the bamboo skewers in front of her had been eaten clean, she held her forehead helplessly.
“Are you full?”
Cheng Yang licked her lips, pointed to the menu beside her, and said in a small voice, “I still want to eat grilled beef tendon.”
Xu Xun held back the smile on her lips. “Alright, boss. Two more skewers of beef tendon.”
She was not interested in these street barbecues, but she hadn’t expected Cheng Yang to be so fond of them.
Seeing Cheng Yang chewing on the beef tendon like a little hamster, with some oil and cumin powder on the corner of her mouth, she reached out and wiped it clean for the other with a tissue.
“How is it? Is the beef tendon delicious?”
Cheng Yang nodded vigorously. “Delicious!”
Xu Xun uncontrollably stroked the top of Cheng Yang’s head and slowly rubbed it.
“Okay, eat slowly. But you can’t drink too much. I’ll drink the remaining half bottle of beer.”
Cheng Yang licked her lips and brought the other uneaten skewer of beef tendon to Xu Xun’s lips.
The two of them were silent.
Xu Xun looked at Cheng Yang deeply.
She looked at the noisy environment around her, and the small stall that was out of place with Cheng Yang’s temperament and appearance.
She felt that Cheng Yang should be standing in the Vienna Hall, enjoying a symphony, not eating a dirty street stall with her.
Xu Xun had never thought that this day would come.
She had always thought that Cheng Yang was the high and unreachable moon in the sky.
Out of reach.
She could only be looked at from a distance. She was meant to be looked at from a distance.
No one could blaspheme her.
But now, this bright moon had taken the initiative to fall for her.
And fall into her arms.
