Ming Shu and Yu Jing looked at each other in silence for about half a minute.
Peng Pai kept yelling on the other end of the phone and asked where he was constantly.
Yu Jing quickly said he was fine, then hung up the phone.
“I didn’t know you have this hobby.” Ming Shu started first.
Yu Jing blurted out, probably due to extremely anxious anger, “Yes.”
Then the silent staredown continued. As if whoever averted their gaze first would lose.
Yu Jing sat on the floor and suffered the loss of height. He straightened his torso up secretly.
If anyone passed by them now, they would see a boy sitting on the ground and a girl standing with her arms crossed before her chest, one of her feet stepping on the pavement. The two looked at each other silently like sculptures.
Two psychopaths in the middle of the night.
Without knowing how long had passed, Yu Jing finally realized it was just humiliating his IQ to do such a boring thing here with her.
So Yu Jing averted his eyes first and stood up from the ground.
There were some bruises on his arm, stained with a little blood, but it was not severe.
Unfortunately, the bicycle was knocked out of the way.
If the car hit him, it would probably have caused the same damage.
The car was obviously targeting him. If Ming Shu hadn’t driven her car back, he didn’t know if the people in the car would have run off…
Yu Jing’s eyes sharpened. He had fallen to such a position, couldn’t they let him go?
Perhaps…
Only his death would pacify those people.
His arm was suddenly pulled by someone and he staggered. “What are you doing?”
“I’m thinking that if you die, the police might take me as a suspect and the interrogation will be too annoying.” Ming Shu pulled open the door. “Get in.”
Yu Jing was almost pushed into the car.
“What are you doing, woman, when did I say I’d go with you… Shit, open the door!”
Ming Shu stood outside and bent over to meet Yu Jing’s eyes. “You can take it that I’m kidnapping you, feel free to call the police.”
Yu Jing: “…”
It was all quiet around them and Yu Jing heard clearly what she said.
Waves of weird emotions poured out from the bottom of his heart.
F**k, what a weird feeling.
Ming Shu also got in the car. She buckled up and asked, “Where do you live?”
Yu Jing looked straight ahead and showed an uncooperative attitude. “I thought you found out where I live.”
Ming Shu leaned over with her sweet smell, like a strawberry flavor…
Yu Jing’s whole person leaned against the door and he looked at her with amber eyes, seeming more and more like a bristling hedgehog.
Which made you want to…
Pull out all those spines.
Ming Shu lifted her hand and caught the safety belt on one side. “What do you think I want to do? If it was not for you working in my bar, do you think I would have been idle enough to mind your trifles?”
Was it so?
Yu Jing didn’t think so. She was absolutely following him on purpose.
Yu Jing watched the girl who was so close to him. The tip of her nose smelled as sweet as strawberries. Kach. The safety belt was set and her breath moved away.
For one moment, Yu Jing actually wanted to keep that scent.
Pa!
Yu Jing slapped the back of his own hand, and it turned red in an instant.
“Ai, you also have this hobby of hurting yourself?”
Yu Jing: “…”
He shouldn’t have gone to the bar today.
“Where do you live?” Ming Shu asked again after driving some distance away.
Yu Jing still didn’t want to cooperate. “Just drop me off somewhere at random.”
“Somewhere at random…”
Seeing Ming Shu’s earnest expression, Yu Jing instinctively thought she might drop him off at some suspicious place.
So he had to give her an address.
Halfway there, Ming Shu stopped the car. Yu Jing frowned. “Why are you parking here?”
“I’m hungry.” Ming Shu smiled. “Are you getting out or not?”
Yu Jing showed the whites of his eyes to Ming Shu.
…
There were many tall buildings in the distance. Not far from the building was a cheap and lively food street.
Yu Jing looked around at the lively scene and had already put away his hedgehog spines. He sat there with a cold and arrogant expression, looking down at the whole world.
If you gave him a monk’s gown, no, an imperial robe, he could just directly take the throne like an emperor.
Ming Shu came back with a black bag. She couldn’t help but diss him: “Do you always love acting?”
Why is the little goblin so pretentious this time?
Yu Jing seemed a little confused. But in order not to leave something behind before Ming Shu, he used his all-purpose skill—he snorted and turned his head aside, ignoring her.
Ming Shu chutted. “I have to care for a hedgehog this time…”
“What did you say?”
Ming Shu put away her expression and threw the bag on the table, changing the topic very naturally. “Apply some medicine to your wounds. If you lose your hand, how can you play the guitar?”
The medicine in the bag was revealed and slipped to Yu Jing’s front.
He stared at the medicine and murmured, “I don’t like guitar anyway.”
There was a confused noise of voices all around, and Yu Jing thought Ming Shu wouldn’t hear. But soon he heard the girl’s clear voice come from opposite him. “You don’t like it, why would you do it then? You have a severe problem of abusing yourself.”
Yu Jing didn’t say anything.
He took out the rubbing alcohol from the black bag and washed his wounds, then put band-aids on them casually.
Ming Shu frowned while watching the process. But he was only bruised, and it seemed improper for Ming Shu to help him. If this hedgehog accused her of harassing him, it would be very humiliating.
The lobsters Ming Shu ordered were served right on time.
Ming Shu turned her attention to the lobsters.
Yu Jing showed no desire to eat. He didn’t like this kind of food that needed you to peel at the table.
“Are you not eating?”
“I’m not hungry.”
He was not hungry just now. But catching the scent, he was actually hungry.
But he didn’t want to get his hands dirty and would rather starve himself.
So do you think Ming Shu would peel the lobsters and feed him? Like what would happen in a romantic drama?
You are thinking too much.
Ming Shu said with a sincere smile, “I’ll eat for you.”
Yu Jing: “…”
Then Yu Jing witnessed Ming Shu finish the whole plate of lobsters slowly and gracefully.
When Ming Shu went to pay the bill, Yu Jing returned to the car first.
But Yu Jing didn’t react until he got into the car. Why would he get in the car again? If he didn’t leave now, then when?
However, it was already too late. Ming Shu got in the car.
With two bags of desserts in her hand.
“Was the car before targeting you?”
Ming Shu suddenly asked this. Yu Jing averted his gaze away from the bags. “I don’t know.”
“It was obviously targeting you. Won’t you call the police?”
“Is that any of your business?”
Ming Shu tilted her head and smiled. “Right. It’s none of my business.”
Yu Jing felt Ming Shu’s smile was a little dazzling and didn’t feel very comfortable in his heart.
This was inexplicably strange…
The two didn’t talk then. The car stopped at the place Yu Jing indicated; it was a plaza.
Yu Jing pushed open the door and got out of the car.
“Yu Jing.”
Yu Jing paused and turned to look back.
Ming Shu also got out with a bag of desserts and handed it over to him. “The waitress gave me this as a gift, but I don’t want to eat it. Here you are.”
“You don’t want to eat it, so I have to eat it? What do you think I am? A garbage disposal station?”
Ming Shu pulled open his hands and forcibly gave it to him. “I gave it to you, you don’t want to take it? Do you want to go to heaven?”
The bag was cold, and Yu Jing watched Ming Shu get in the car and drive away, disappearing in the dark.
After a long time, Yu Jing opened the bag.
There was only a small box in it, stuck with a note saying it was a gift dessert.
It was really a gift.
He took out the box and ate the cake with a spoon.
Sweet.
Sweet chocolate flavor.
Yu Jing suddenly smiled.
Only after a long time did Yu Jing learn that the gift dessert was actually the shop’s signature cake.
