“Yes, yes, yes!” Liang Sheng agreed without hesitation. She turned to Song An’an. “An’an, you hop in the car. Come to my place, and I’ll put some medicine on your wound. I’ll ride the motorcycle with Senior Sister Yuqi first! Be good~”
“Oh… alright.” Song An’an climbed into the car reluctantly. She didn’t know how to convince Liang Sheng to ride with her. She wanted to seem like an obedient and sensible girl in front of her A-Sheng—that way, Liang Sheng would like her even more, right?
“Su Ze, you head home too. Just tell the driver your address.” Liang Sheng arranged everything neatly for Su Ze as well. He had no choice but to go along with it.
“An’an, come to my place first. I’ll take care of that wound for you before you head home.” That single sentence instantly cheered Song An’an right up. She saw it as just another sign that Liang Sheng cared about her.
Once Liang Sheng had sorted out Song An’an and Su Ze, she trotted over to Gu Yuqi’s side. She wagged her tail like an eager puppy. “Senior Sister Yuqi, I’m here~”
“Hahaha.” Once again, that bright, hearty laugh rang out.
Gu Yuqi plopped the black helmet onto Liang Sheng’s head, signaling for her to hop on.
Liang Sheng eyed the tall motorcycle. She tried climbing aboard with hands and feet working together, but after struggling for ages, she still couldn’t manage it.
“You little dummy.” Gu Yuqi bent down slightly. She scooped Liang Sheng up by the thighs just below her hips and lifted her onto the bike. With a teasing grin, she added, “Were you just hoping I’d carry you?”
Whoa! How did Senior Sister Yuqi suddenly turn so self-assured and mischievous? Mmm… but she loved it. Hehe~~ Bring on more of that. Liang Sheng nearly drooled.
Getting teased by her senior sister felt so good~ Wait—Liang Sheng froze. Something was off with her. Had Senior Sister An Hua rubbed off on her? No, no, no! She refused to become one of those scary masochists. She was a proud and ambitious beauty!
Once Liang Sheng was aboard, Gu Yuqi swung her leg over and settled in front.
“Senior Sister Yuqi, why’d you give me the helmet?” Liang Sheng patted the one on her head.
Gu Yuqi replied, “Ah, you’re so clumsy. I’m afraid you’ll get hurt.”
“But…” Liang Sheng hesitated for a moment before taking it off. “But you’re the one driving, Senior Sister Yuqi. That’s more dangerous, so you should wear it. I’ll be fine—and I’m not clumsy!”
“Hahaha.” Gu Yuqi burst out laughing again. She couldn’t help finding every word out of Liang Sheng’s mouth inexplicably hilarious. “I’m fine. And you are clumsy, you little dummy.”
Gu Yuqi turned back, took the helmet from Liang Sheng’s hands, and fastened it snugly back on her head. “Keep it on properly. If you get hurt again, it’ll break my heart.”
“Mm…” Liang Sheng didn’t protest anymore. She was suddenly grateful for the black helmet—it hid the faint blush creeping across her cheeks from her senior sister.
“Hold on tight, Little Junior Sister Liang Sheng.” Gu Yuqi’s lips curved upward.
Was her senior sister about to gun it? A thrill of anticipation bubbled up in Liang Sheng’s chest. Her arms wrapped instinctively around Gu Yuqi’s waist. Oh man, this feels so exhilarating!
That’s when Liang Sheng realized a very important issue—one tied to her innocence and even some math.
Riding shotgun with her senior sister behind the wheel? Round it off, and that’s basically driving with her senior sister. These days, “driving” didn’t mean anything innocent anymore. Round it off once more, and… she and her senior sister were together… heh heh~~
Ahem, ahem. No way was she just craving Gu Senior Sister’s body. Liang Sheng swallowed the drool at the corner of her mouth, insisting to herself that she was a proper lady.
The bike started up, and Liang Sheng began questioning her life choices.
No gale-force winds whipped past. No long hair fluttered dramatically in the breeze. No fierce gusts lashed her cheeks. No pedestrians or cars blurred by in a rush. No speed, no thrill.
Gu Yuqi rode like she was on a little scooter, handling the massive motorcycle with exaggerated care. Liang Sheng suddenly felt bad for the cool beast of a bike.
“Senior Sister… is this the speed you came here at?” Liang Sheng stared blankly as a rickety three-wheeler chugged past them with a “putt-putt-putt.”
Gu Yuqi didn’t catch the subtext in Liang Sheng’s words. She answered earnestly, “I came a lot faster. But now? With you on board, how could I speed? I don’t want you getting hurt.”
Mmm… so sweet. Liang Sheng smiled warmly, tightening her arms ever so slightly around Gu Yuqi’s waist.
“My place?” At the neighborhood gate, Gu Yuqi asked Liang Sheng.
Liang Sheng shook her head. She wasn’t the type to break a promise—Song An’an was still waiting for her at home.
“Alright then.” Gu Yuqi gave a helpless smile. “Guess I’ll head to your place first too.”
“Mm-hm!” For a moment, Liang Sheng felt dazed, like she and Senior Sister Gu Yuqi were already an old married couple… old wives.
They got home, and Song An’an was perched anxiously on the sofa, waiting for Liang Sheng. The moment she walked in the door, Song An’an ran over joyfully.
“A-Sheng, you’re back!” She latched onto Liang Sheng like a koala hug.
Gu Yuqi frowned in displeasure. She couldn’t explain why it bothered her so much, but seeing anyone else touch Liang Sheng just rubbed her the wrong way.
In a cool tone, she said, “Junior Sister An’an, Liang Sheng’s already worn out. Don’t hang off her like that.”
“Ah, oh…” Song An’an let go of Liang Sheng, embarrassed.
“Haha.” Liang Sheng let out an awkward laugh to ease the tension. “It’s fine, really. I didn’t even get hurt.”
Splash~ Favorability dropped.
“Gu Yuqi’s Favorability toward Liang Sheng: 69”
Oh? Gu Yuqi glanced sideways at her own junior sister as she spoke up for Song An’an. Heh, she has plenty of friends, doesn’t she?
“Alright then, I’ll head home.” Gu Yuqi crouched down to put her shoes back on.
Ah, was Senior Sister jealous? Liang Sheng checked the favorability. Nah, that couldn’t be—the number was so low. She was probably just tired.
“Bye, Senior Sister~” Liang Sheng waved helplessly as Gu Yuqi left.
Tch. Gu Yuqi nearly fumed.
After lacing up her shoes and taking a couple of steps, Gu Yuqi suddenly spun back around. She crooked a finger at Liang Sheng, who was seeing her off, and smiled. “Come here.”
“Huh? What’s up, Senior Sister?” Liang Sheng had a bad feeling all of a sudden.
“I’ve got something to tell you. Hurry over.”
“Okay…” Liang Sheng didn’t think much of it. Assuming it was something important, she scurried right over.
“Come closer. I’ll whisper it—it’s a secret~” Gu Yuqi wore an enigmatic smile as she tapped her ear, motioning Liang Sheng nearer.
What? Liang Sheng obediently leaned in with her ear.
“Little Junior Sister Liang Sheng…” Warm breath tickled across Liang Sheng’s face.
