Chapter 22: She Held Onto His Lean Waist
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The seat on his bike was not like that on the usual motorcycles. There was not much space so their bodies were sticking really close together.
It was the first time that Wen Ruan was in such close proximity with a guy.
With every breath she took, she could smell the faint scent of mint on his body.
He threw a black helmet at her.
“Wear it. Don’t come too close to me.” He said coldly.
Wen Ruan let out a soft ‘oh’ and put the helmet on. She grabbed the bike from the back.
The helmet smelled of him. It was a clean fragrance with a hint of cigarette but was not unpleasant. It was a smell that only he had.
Wen Ruan blushed subconsciously.
The engine started with a roar and the bike drove out of that long alley.
Wen Ruan watched the youth in front of her. His long body was arched slightly forward, causing a beautiful and smooth line that traced down from the back of his neck. The youth had broad shoulders but he was lean. Wen Ruan felt her heart skip a beat.
He had agreed to give her a lift to school. Did that mean that their tense relationship was slightly alleviated?
However, something was bugging her.
He didn’t seem like the type who would make peace with her so easily!
Just as Wen Ruan was in doubt, the bike had reached the end of the alley, to the busy road.
That was also the moment when he picked up speed.
Wen Ruan subconsciously leaned forward and knocked onto his back. He warned her coldly. “Don’t touch me!”
“I didn’t do it on purpose. Why did you suddenly accelerate…”
Before she could even finish her words, the bike suddenly turned into another alley, and she could see a two meters long staircase going down. Seeing that the bike was not slowing its speed, Wen Ruan let out a cry. “That’s a staircase. Why are you going there… AH!”
With a loud vroom, the bike leaped in the air and was flying down the stairs.
Wen Ruan’s heart was in her mouth. Her little face behind the helmet visor grew pale.
When the bike landed, Wen Ruan’s body rebounded upwards. She could not be bothered about his warning anymore and held on tightly to his lean waist.
Even though she was not flung away from the bike, she could feel that she had lifted off the seat when the bike landed on the ground and her legs hurt from the abrasion.
This lunatic, what was he up to?!?
She finally had the answer as to why he would be so kind to give her a lift. So this was what was waiting for her!
Huo Hannian looked down at the arms that were holding tightly to his waist. The little hands already had veins slightly popping out. He said coldly, “Let go.”
“I’m not letting go. Not even if I die!” Wen Ruan sounded as though she was about to cry.
Huo Hannian did not say anything else but Wen Ruan experienced his crazy and perverse side once again.
The bike drove up a viaduct. There were a lot of vehicles in the morning but he slid past all of them in the congested traffic smoothly, like a snake.
There were several times when Wen Ruan thought that he would hit the cars beside them but he managed to graze past.
Everything around them kept moving backward. Wen Ruan experienced for herself what a dangerous speed they were traveling at, as the wind bellowed in her ears.
It was a sensation of extreme thrill, like a roller coaster ride.
Wen Ruan froze. She felt as though her limbs did not belong to her anymore. A thought surfaced in her mind. ‘Huo Hannian, f*ck you!’
After what felt like an eternity, the bike came to a stop about 50 meters outside school.
Wen Ruan’s legs were jelly-like when she got off the bike.
She removed the helmet and threw it forcefully at him. Her legs trembled as she ran to a nearby tree and started vomiting.
Since she had not eaten anything in the morning, all that came out was acidic reflux.
Her face was completely pale, and her nostrils were flared up. Her dark eyelashes hung low with moisture droplets hanging on them, like a startled butterfly trembling gently.
