Chapter 179 - I Didn’t Say I Don’t Know
Su Wan looked at Jiang Xuecheng with a face full of doubts.
“What have I thrown away?”
She saw Jiang Xuecheng pointing with his finger. She raised her brows and her eyes followed the direction of his finger.
When she saw the cherry red lingerie, she blushed badly. How she wished to dig a hole and bury herself in!
God, she had placed the lingerie in a corner and had forgotten to throw it away!
Moreover, this time, Jiang Xuecheng came to her dressing room with her and she was caught off guard. She had totally forgotten that there was a time bomb in her dressing room!
Suddenly, Su Wan’s face grew so hot and it led Jiang Xuecheng into a good mood.
When Su Wan was silent, Jiang Xuecheng laughed mischievously and hugged her waist from behind.
“Wan Wan, are you as reluctant as I am to throw it away?”
Su Wan sulkily glared at Jiang Xuecheng and pushed him away immediately, “Of course I’m not reluctant to throw that thing away! I’ll throw it into the bin when I go downstairs later!”
Jiang Xuecheng laughed loudly. His dark pupils were shining brightly.
“Ah, alright, I’m the one who’s reluctant. Wan Wan, please don’t throw it away.”
As he spoke, Jiang Xuecheng walked over, took the cherry red lingerie carefully, and placed it into Su Wan’s luggage!
Su Wan widened her eyes and crossed her arms. Feeling helpless, she said fiercely, “If you bring that thing along, I won’t go with you.”
Jiang Xuecheng smiled slightly and thought Su Wan was childish even though she had grown up to be an adult.
He shook his head slightly and then carried Su Wan’s luggage. He put his arm around her waist and carried her!
Jiang Xuecheng walked down the stairs, ignoring Su Wan’s struggles.
When Su Wan saw her legs in the air, she stopped arguing with him about whether to bring the lingerie. She felt like crying but couldn’t. She hit Jiang Xuecheng’s shoulders as she cried, “I have not packed my things!”
“The hotel in Beitong has everything. If we can’t find certain things over there, we’ll ask Ah Si to bring them over.”
It wasn’t easy to have a free Saturday. Ah Si was resting at home, playing computer games. While he was looking at the game character in the screen, he sneezed.
Who was still talking about him today? Couldn’t they give him a good day off?
***
It was a sunny day at Beitong’s development zone. The warm breeze in May with the fragrance of plants and flowers brushed on the faces of the tourists gently.
As it was the trial operation period at Beitong now, there were not many tourists. Compared to other crowded tourist attractions, this was more relaxed and comfortable.
When Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng arrived at Beitong’s development zone, they found tremendous changes in Beitong. It was not a completely new outlook because the residential buildings were still antique.
What was different then?
Su Wan looked at the shops which were attracting customers as well as men and women shuttling through the streets and immediately understood the difference at Beitong.
What made it different was the additional vitality!
The previous time Su Wan was here, she had walked a kilometer or two without seeing anyone. It was cold and quiet, without any vitality. Now, Beitong felt much better!
If nobody were to stay in the antique homestay, she was afraid people would think of horror movies during the night.
Su Wan was amused by her own thoughts and couldn’t help laughing.
Jiang Xuecheng darted her a look helplessly. He felt that Su Wan laughed very easily recently.
Su Wan’s shoulders shook when Jiang Xuecheng stared at her strangely. She looked past Jiang Xuecheng at a few little couples who were riding bicycles.
The young girl sitting at the back of the bicycle was holding the boy’s waist, smiling sweetly and happily. Next to them were flowers and trees and along with the blowing of the wind, countless petals falling on their bodies.
The scenery was beautiful and the couples were pleasing to the eyes. This scene could qualify for an idol drama!
Su Wan couldn’t help feeling starry-eyed. She turned her head sideways and looked at Jiang Xuecheng seriously. “Xuecheng, do you know how to ride a bicycle?”
Jiang Xuecheng looked at the little couples riding the bicycle. He raised his brows slightly but did not say anything.
Su Wan nudged his arm gently with her elbow. “Don’t tell me you don’t know how to? If you don’t, what if I fetched you?”
Upon hearing what Su Wan said, Jiang Xuecheng glanced at Su Wan from head to toe doubtfully.
“Wan Wan, are you sure your petite body can bring me along on the bicycle?”
“I’m joking.” Su Wan smiled. “Why don’t I teach you how to ride?”
Jiang Xuecheng was smart and learning how to ride a bicycle shouldn’t be a problem for him, should it?
“Let’s go, let’s ask them where they got the bicycles from.”
The style and colors of the bicycles were similar and it was obvious they were rented from the tourist spot.
Giving Jiang Xuecheng no chance to speak, Su Wan tugged his arm, trying to bring him to rent a bike.
Jiang Xuecheng smiled and knew the little woman beside him had misunderstood. He had not said he did not know how to ride a bicycle from the beginning to end.
However, Jiang Xuecheng really wanted to see how Su Wan would teach him and so he didn’t want to explain further.
Su Wan walked toward a couple and with a lively smile, asked, “Hello, may I know where you rented the bicycles from?”
The little couple was warm. With a friendly smile, they gave Su Wan general directions.
“Walk that way, take a turn and you’ll see the location of the bicycle rental.”
“Thank you!”
Su Wan readily nodded and smilingly tugged Jiang Xuecheng. They then walked toward the direction as instructed by the little couple.
After only a few hundred meters, Su Wan saw the bicycle rental location. She discovered that many people had come to rent the bicycles and the majority of them were young people.
Beitong’s development zone was huge. If one were to visit every single spot, one day was insufficient. It was more efficient to cycle than to walk.
After paying twenty dollars, Su Wan managed to rent a tandem bicycle.
Su Wan pushed the bicycle to Jiang Xuecheng enthusiastically and explained her experience of cycling and how to control the balance of the bicycle.
“Xuecheng, you try it. You’re tall so you don’t have to worry about balancing. Don’t ride too fast in the beginning. If you sense danger, just touch the ground with your feet and get down from the bicycle.
Listening to Su Wan’s explanation and her teaching manner, Jiang Xuecheng found it funny. He pulled over the bicycle and got up nimbly.
Once his feet touched the pedals, he drifted away like a light swallow.
Su Wan looked at the scene in astonishment and felt Jiang Xuecheng had gone against the course of nature!
Who would be so good at learning for the first time?
After Jiang Xuecheng returned after taking one round, Su Wan understood that instant that she had been deceived by this evil-minded fox!
“You big liar! I just spent so much time explaining!”
“I never said I didn’t know. It was all your assumption.”
Su Wan glared at him angrily. Recalling what had happened, she had indeed been the only one talking from the beginning till the end…
Could this man be more evil-minded than this?
