CH 45.1

Yao Yi stood to the side and watched Fu Chuan get on the bicycle, and slowly sat on the back seat in the same rigid posture.

It was a bit weird, Yao Yi stared at Fu Chuan’s back and thought.

“…Yao Yi?” Fu Chuan originally wanted to see if Yao Yi was seated properly, but saw her seriously straddling the back seat.

“Mhm.” Yao Yi nodded and met Fu Chuan’s eyes.

Fu Chuan sighed in his heart, but his expression was light: “You will feel better if you sit on your side.”

Not to mention how stupid Yao Yi’s sitting posture was, her feet were even dragging on the ground like this, it wasn’t comfortable.

Yao Yi obviously didn’t react, and looked at Fu Chuan with blank eyes.

Just at this moment, a boy next to him was driving his girlfriend by. Fu Chuan pointed to the girl sitting sideways behind him and said, “Like her.”

“Okay.” Yao Yi immediately agreed.

Fu Chuan tightened his grip on the handlebar, this was beyond his expectation, but a small sporadic smile began to appear on his face.

“Fu Chuan, what do you usually like to eat?” Yao Yi asked as if chatting.

“What about you?” Fu Chuan threw the question back.

Yao Yi clutched onto Fu Chuan’s clothes, sat in the back and began to think about what she liked to eat: “My mother’s stir-fried chicken with chestnuts, um… and winter bamboo shoots with shrimps.”

After rambling on a lot, Yao Yi realized that she hadn’t heard what Fu Chuan liked, and quickly said, “Okay I said it, it’s your turn.”

The corners of Fu Chuan’s lips curled up a little, and there was even a smile in his voice: “It’s all good for me.”

Before Yao Yi frowned, Fu Chuan continued, “I really want to try what you mentioned.”

This time Yao Yi finally picked up the topic: “I can take you there to eat. There is a restaurant in the downtown area that has very authentic signature dishes.”

“Will it be too much trouble for you?” Fu Chuan stopped at the crossroad ahead and turned his head while waiting for the green light.

Yao Yi raised her head and said urgently: “No trouble, no trouble! I can take you there on the weekend.” This would deepen the relationship between them, and it would definitely be much easier to date by then.

Yao Yi squinted her eyes triumphantly at the thought of how quickly she progressed so much in a day.

Fu Chuan pretended not to see the expression of “come with me” that was about to overflow on Yao Yi’s face. He turned his head to look at the traffic light and continued, “We’ll talk about it on the weekend, I’m not sure if I have time.”

“Oh.” Yao Yi felt depressed for a moment, grabbing Fu Chuan’s clothes and not speaking.

The journey was safe and Yao Yi was safely delivered to the Yao house. Fu Chuan looked at the unhappy Yao Yi and couldn’t help reaching out to stop her: “What time on the weekend?”

Yao Yi turned around and lingered for a while, with a smile on her face again: “Do you want to go with me?”

Fu Chuan knew that Yao Yi was overly enthusiastic regarding matters with him these days, but he still wanted to get closer to her.

“Mhm, I just thought about it. There shouldn’t be anything important on the weekend.”

Yao Yi was overjoyed, but she still pretended to be calm: “Then how about ten o’clock?”

“Anything is fine.” Fu Chuan nodded in agreement.

Yao Yi grinned: “I’m going home, so you should go back early too.”

The next step would be to ask him what he liked, and give him more things that he liked. Eventually, Fu Chuan would definitely like her, wouldn’t it be logical to become boyfriend and girlfriend?

Yao Yi went up the stairs and thought happily, but after a while her face drooped.

It took money to buy things, and it seemed that the things Fu Chuan liked were very expensive! Then she would have to take out the money she earned during the summer break, what about the mathematics journals?

Yao Yi, who was half sad and half happy, pushed open the door. Father Yao who was sitting in the living room reading the newspaper saw the strange expression on Yao Yi’s face, and subconsciously asked, “What’s wrong?”

“I don’t have much money to buy a gift for a friend.” Yao Yi put down her schoolbag and muttered.

Because Father Yao refused to give Yao Yi the money to buy books before, she didn’t ask her family for money afterward.

“Buy a gift for a friend?” Father Yao paused and then said happily, “How much money do you want, Dad will give it to you.”

As long as the child didn’t spend money on studies all day long, he was still willing to pay. The family was not short of money anyway.

Yao Yi glanced at her father suspiciously, she didn’t expect him to be so generous today.

“Yi Yi, where’s your bike today?” Lin Xiuyu came down from upstairs, but she didn’t see Yao Yi’s tattered bicycle.

“Oh, it’s broken, so it needs to be repaired.” Yao Yi turned to explain to her mother.

“What’s the use of repairing that old thing? Just throw it away.” Lin Xiuyu said helplessly, “It’s too broken like that.”

“But after a repair, I can still ride it.” Yao Yi murmured in a low voice, “It’s very expensive to buy a new one.”

“…” Lin Xiuyu felt helpless for her daughter’s picky behavior, but she couldn’t blame her.

“Then how did you come back? Did you take the bus? Next time, you can take a taxi home.” Lin Xiuyu remembered that sometimes she felt sorry for her daughter when she saw the bus full of people on the side of the road.

Yao Yi shook her head: “No, I came back with a classmate.”

“Classmate?” Father Yao asked with great interest, “Yi Yi seems to have made a lot of friends in high school.”

“It’s Fu Chuan. He moved over here because there is now an evening self study.” Yao Yi explained.

“It turned out to be that child.” Lin Xiuyu subconsciously thought that Uncle Li drove Yao Yi back by car.

Father Yao took the initiative: “Do you want Dad to take you to school this afternoon?”

“No, dad, you can do your own business. Fu Chuan said that he will go to school with me in the afternoon.” Yao Yi glanced at the message she just received on her phone and replied.
