With Lu Youyou around, Xu Lie finally felt a sense of peace within himself, a feeling that was hard to describe—relaxation and contentment intertwined. He didn’t really need a break; a month off was more than enough. Not to mention, he had already spent quite some time in the Cang Hai Jue realm, idly drinking tea and fishing all day long. He was almost getting bored out of his mind.
Thinking of visiting Lu Youyou, he quickly initiated his third interpretation. However, he hadn’t expected that the high school girl he once knew was now preparing for college. It seemed that time had moved on for both of them; he had also been in the Cang Hai Jue realm for over a year.
Just then, Lu Youyou emerged, pushing a small white electric scooter. Xu Lie feigned a troubled expression and said, “I wonder who will carry whom.”
“Hmph!” Lu Youyou smirked at his words, her confidence shining through. She had practiced riding the scooter during her summer break before her senior year—she was ready to show off! With determination, she patted the seat and gave a thumbs-up toward the backrest. “Get on! Today, I’ll take you for a ride in the wind. I practiced riding an electric vehicle last summer, so don’t worry—I won’t let you fall.”
“Oh?” Xu Lie’s expression shifted as he smiled mischievously. “You don’t mind if I sit behind and hold your waist, do you?”
Lu Youyou blinked in surprise, her confidence wavering as her cheeks flushed red. Was he really thinking that way? A girl’s waist wasn’t something to be casually touched! Although they had kissed before, she still felt shy about such intimate gestures.
Deciding to take a step back, she thought about letting Xu Lie drive instead. But Xu Lie anticipated her move and cut off her escape route: “If I drive, I just need to test how this thing brakes.”
No matter how naive Lu Youyou might be, she understood certain things instinctively. She glanced down and realized she couldn’t even see her own toes. If Xu Lie decided to play tricks and slammed on the brakes, with inertia at play, 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? You didn’t used to have so many bad thoughts!”
Xu Lie shrugged off her reproach with a thick skin. “Come on, give me a break; I’ve been cooped up in the Biological Research Institute for over a year.”
Lu Youyou didn’t even care about what Xu Lie had been up to; she was genuinely concerned. “So… how are things 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, or you'll be late."
Lu Youyou shot him an exasperated glance. "Is that all you think about? Trying to take advantage of me?!"
Despite rolling her eyes, she eventually settled down and sat on the back seat, wrestling with her thoughts for a moment before convincing herself. Well, it was fine; she could consider it a little treat. Xu Lie had been cooped up at the Biological Research Institute and must be going a bit crazy. Hmph, she hoped he would remember her.
Gently wrapping her arms around Xu Lie's waist, she inadvertently bumped against his back, sending a ripple through his heart. "Ahem, hold on tight; we're about to set off."
Lu Youyou buried her little head behind Xu Lie and softly muttered, "Pervert!"
As Xu Lie twisted the throttle and drove onto the main road, he began to share a bit about himself. "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 his personal experience living in this realm as a Bionic Person. He was merely recounting what he had lived 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 she tightened her embrace around Xu Lie. "I'm sorry; we clearly agreed..."
