Chapter 9: She Is Very Gentle And Calm! (2)

Ye Yuqing felt extremely uncomfortable, she turned around and walked back.

On weekends there were many people walking around the lake, making it livelier than usual. A bunch of kids ran past her with glowing balloons, and those bright lights disappeared around the corner, so she withdrew her vision.

The rich woman drove a McLaren, and here she was still wondering whether to buy or not to buy Wuling Hongguang S1….

….

Ye Yuqing brought out her cellphone, fuming – So what if he has a girlfriend now? I can find someone new for myself, too. She scanned her friends’ list one by one, and finally stopped at Jason’s profile picture.

But why does her heart feel sorrowful? Ye Yuqing took a deep breath.

She and Han Chuan weren’t as uncomfortable after breaking up. The second day after the breakup, she had deleted his contact to avoid the possibility of her willpower crumbling. She could control herself and not go to him, but if he begged her for forgiveness, she could not guarantee that she could stay strong. So she had simply cut off this possibility by deleting his contact.

Ye Yuqing had never dated anyone before Han Chuan, but this didn’t prevent her from becoming half of an emotional expert. She had a good temper and was an excellent listener. When other young ladies around her encountered difficulties in their relationships, most of them would seek her shoulder to cry on. Love is hard to control, and there is no fairness.

She watched those girls who were starting to stumble and live in suffering because of the activity feeds of their boyfriends; worried that their feeds were due to themselves or new flame. They would also fret over the friends list that might not be noticeable by their exes, over and over; posting in the dead of the night on social media the kind of things they wanted them to see but feared they would be ignored, constantly tormenting themselves.

But since she was very serious about feelings, how could she say that she isn’t sad without knowing sadness?

People she knew thought she was miserable, and friends around her deemed her very unlucky. Misfortunes never come singly. Even the songs she suggested were from the ‘NetEase Music’ platform.

(T/N: NetEase Music is a music platform famous for its depressing review section under the songs. Thus, NetEase Music now refers to depressive music. Refer)

She needed to divert her attention, after all, life had to go on. Then Jason had appeared, she liked everything about him.

Ye Yuqing sighed. Her friend said that she had encountered these things because of her good character. But with so many people in the world and so many people on the streets, why then it had to be her? Did she deserve it just because of her good personality?

The more she thought about it, the sadder was. If it didn’t work with Jason, she didn’t want anyone else. No matter whether she gambled with it or not.

She had always been a gentle person approaching the other side and stepping out of her comfort zone countless times. In the short period, she had never dared to treat others like this. The man was good at everything. He had given her a ride in his car and sent her some tea. She did not consider herself to be at a disadvantage, and even if she did not know much about him, she still felt that he was very nice and excellent.

However, she couldn’t take this anymore. She shouldn’t continue spinning down the spiral! She sent a message to the other party. Though they weren’t that familiar with each other, there was still a need to give a proper explanation (to avoid misunderstandings).

【I just passed by the clubhouse and saw you and your girlfriend. She is very beautiful. I have troubled you recently, thank you.】

Li Che saw the message on WeChat when he came out to smoke halfway through.

She was here?

He remembered that a person was standing on the side of the road. He had more than 200-degrees myopia and astigmatism. He didn’t wear glasses today, so he couldn’t see clearly after more than ten meters.

Ye Yuqing had no idea how long she had been walking before she sat down on a chair by the lake. Her phone vibrated, and only after two minutes did she pick it up to read.

Jason had sent a Wechat voice note.

Ye Yuqing was stunned. This was the first WeChat voice sent by the other party since the two had added as friends.

[Where are you? I don’t have that kind of relationship with her, I’m out of the clubhouse now.]

Ye Yuqing instantly got up from the bench. She didn’t spare a moment to think about it, turned around, and ran back.

In front of the clubhouse.

Ye Yuqing stood still, breathing a little, her chest gently heaving up and down.

Li Che looked at the blushing face before him and asked, “Why are you running in such a hurry?”

“I was afraid you’d be leaving!” Ye Yuqing’s voice trembled a little.

Li Che’s heart moved. He curled up his lips and asked unhurriedly, “What is the matter?”

“I made a set of cups for you.” She passed the cloth bag in her hand. “Although it is glass, I painted it myself.”

Li Che was slightly startled. His eyelids pressed down, and he hesitated for two seconds before reaching out to take it.

“Thank you.” Ye Yuqing’s heart was beating rapidly. One didn’t know if it was because she saw him, or because she had run all the way here.

Thinking of her misunderstanding just now, she calmed her breath and asked, “Can I ask you something? Do you have a girlfriend?”

Li Che: “What?”

Ye Yuqing’s eyes lit up, she seemed to know the answer!

After regaining her senses, she realized that this question was inappropriate. The intentions were obvious to everyone, she deliberately added: “What about a boyfriend?”

Li Che glanced at her and said, “No.”

Ye Yuqing’s heart beat faster, she even felt that she was almost out of breath. She coughed slightly, trying to control her dying heart. “Well, you should have something else to do, then I will leave first.”

She turned around and left quickly, so as not to make any more mistakes. Although she was a little rash today, she was really happy. Her mood kept shifting like a rollercoaster. Fortunately, the result is optimistic.

To be headed towards the same way, this time Ye Yuqing was so happy that she almost jumped up. Her mind was a little excited, and when she calmed down, it was as if the whole world had opened up.

Seeing the row of cars in front of her, she stopped in her steps. Shared bicycles weren’t popular anymore. These days, shared electric vehicles, appearing one after another, were all the rage.

[TLN: 共享电动 – SAMPLE ]

Ye Yuqing circled the car. Although she couldn’t afford a sports car, she could own an electric motor vehicle! Her new home was a bit far away from the market. If she bought one, it would be convenient to buy things. In the future, she could use the electric scooter to drive Jason to the vegetable market. She would buy fish and cook it for him with her own hands.

A good chicken or a bad chicken, are both dead chicken on the plate. Sure, her electric scooter may not be as beautiful as the sports car just now, but it was nonetheless very domineering and capable of transportation!

Ye Yuqing took out her mobile phone and scanned the code according to the notification.

Well, let’s give it a try now!

Back in college, she used to ride an electric scooter, so she wondered if her hands have gotten rusty now.

The cool breeze on her face was unusually pleasant, and she couldn’t help but start to hum a song, but the happiness only lasted for five minutes as an automated voice message began to prompt.

[You have exceeded the limit, please return immediately.]

It was a circular lake, and she was halfway around. So the distance to back was about the same.

Ye Yuqing deliberated on the matter for a few seconds before ignoring it and riding onward.

She changed the song to hum.

Five minutes later, the electric scooter automatically powered off.

Ye Yuqing: “…?!”

She puzzled for half a minute. How could this happen? Without putting it back to the designated place, the scooter could be locked?

Nevermind! Now she was in a good mood, and even this accident felt wonderful.

Ye Yuqing pushed the scooter back.

It being a weekend the road around the lake was filled with people. So the sight of a girl, smilingly pushing her scooter, was somewhat puzzling.

What happened? Did this girl lose her mind?

A mother and daughter passed by, and the little girl stopped in her tracks.

“Why is this sister pushing her scooter away.”

“She didn’t do her homework properly and was punished.”

” Oh so embarrassing, my classmates will not want to be friends with me when they see it, I must do my homework carefully every day.”

Ye Yuqing: “—”

Alright now, as long as the kids can study hard, they can do as they please. She was in a good mood and didn’t care much.

Fifteen minutes later, Ye Yuqing pushed the scooter into the usable range.

Ok, now just ride this thing again!

As soon as she put her beautiful legs on it, the cold female voice began to remind her again.

[Your trial period has ended, please recharge immediately, or leave the shared electric scooter.]

Ye Yuqing took out her mobile phone and scanned the code again. It said that the trial time was over and that she needed to recharge 100 and deposit 500 to continue using…

If the vehicle isn’t parked at the designated location, 30 yuan will be deducted. There was a bad case of people not returning shared bicycles to their designated locations, so the fines were a reasonable enforcement rule. Moreover, there were no electric scooters of this company near her home, so there was no need to ‘borrow’ one.

Although the money wasn’t much, it is still very important. Jason was very expensive, she had to save every penny for the two to use it together.

She continued to push the vehicle forward. It didn’t matter, she’d reach there in five minutes at most. She didn’t recharge the vehicle balance. The machine kept reminding her of the fact, but she didn’t mind the fiery gazes directed towards her. Anyway, she didn’t know them, and they didn’t know her, why be ashamed?

A car coming from behind slowed down and stopped by Ye Yuqing.

Ye Yuqing had a bad feeling in her heart.

No way, she cannot see two McLarens in one night!

A few seconds later, the door opened.

Ye Yuqing stiffened the moment she saw Li Che. As expected, there was also the long-legged beauty she saw at the entrance of the club.

Lu Wan smiled slightly. “I was right, it is your friend. She seems to have encountered some problems and needs help.”

She stepped out to take a breath. Standing on the second floor, she had a clear view of the communication between the two people below. She took in everything at a glance. The little girl had bright eyes, two pear-shaped dimples, and her blushing face was very adorable.

Li Che looked at Ye Yuqing, then looked at the car behind her, and asked in a low voice, “What are you doing?”

“It’s nothing, that… don’t worry about it, I can handle it myself.”

Ye Yuqing’s words had only fallen, when the electric vehicle began to beep for the 42nd time.

[Your trial period has ended, please recharge immediately, or leave the shared electric scooter.]

Li Che raised his eyebrows. “You stole someone else’s scooter?”

Ye Yuqing: “…!!!”

Faced with the two pairs of inquisitive and suspicious eyes probing her soul from within the car, her heart stirred.

Why?

Normally, she really wasn’t like this! She was a very gentle and steady individual! Gentle as a female anchor on the news, and steady as the weights of the dumbbells in the Olympic Games!

She considered a moment. Can’t afford Wuling Hongguang, can’t I still ride a shared electric scooter?

If it weren’t for the fact she was a very restrained person in public, she would have lost it then and there, and would have been overcome with tears!
