269: Chapter 289 269: Chapter 289 Fang Yi and Xia Ziqi ca down to the building and pushed out his Phoenix brand bicycle.
“Don’t mind it,” Fang Yi said with a smile, “If you don’t like it, then we can take the bus, and if that’s not okay, we can take a taxi.
If that still doesn’t work, I’ll go rent a car.”
Xia Ziqi was both amused and exasperated, “Any car is fine, I’m not picky.”
“Okay, but if you’re not comfortable, don’t bla ,” Fang Yi said.
Xia Ziqi ducked her head slightly, “I really don’t mind at all.”
So Fang Yi got on the bicycle, and then Xia Ziqi ca over and sat sideways on the rear seat.
Xia Ziqi wasn’t heavy, and once seated, her hands naturally grabbed onto Fang Yi’s clothes around his waist.
He was wearing a t-shirt that cost just a few tens of yuan, so he wouldn’t care even if she tore it.
“I…
I’m sitting properly now,” Xia Ziqi said softly.
“Are you sure you’re sitting steadily?” Fang Yi asked, not in a hurry.
“Yes…
I am,” Xia Ziqi answered, puzzled.
“Alright!
Then I’m starting the bike!” Fang Yi declared.
The next mont, Fang Yi suddenly pedaled hard, and the old Phoenix bicycle sped forward.
“Cut!”
“You…
slow down…” Suddenly, Xia Ziqi realized that they were going too fast and couldn’t help but exclaim.
At this point, Fang Yi was indeed riding fast, and Xia Ziqi could clearly see that even the electric scooters were getting left far behind.
When taking turns, he hardly slowed down, causing Xia Ziqi’s heart to almost jump out on several occasions.
Perhaps because of this, Xia Ziqi tightened her arms around Fang Yi’s waist, clinging closer to him.
As everyone knows, bicycles don’t have any shock absorption system.
Sotis, when avoiding potholes or manhole covers, Fang Yi would deliberately ride right over them.
Seeing Fang Yi not slowing down, Xia Ziqi beca anxious and called out, “You…
slow down, please…”
However, Fang Yi replied with a wry smile, “Ziqi, I have so unfortunate news to tell you.”
“What?” she asked.
“The brakes are broken.”
“What?!
How could this be…
what do we do…
stop the bike…”
But Fang Yi boasted confidently, “Don’t worry, I’m an experienced driver with great skills, I won’t let you get hurt.
Even if we fall, I’ll cushion your fall.”
Xia Ziqi was extrely frantic, thinking, what if they really crashed with broken brakes?
The bicycle sped along the road, and to prevent Xia Ziqi from catching on, Fang Yi intentionally took a long detour, avoiding both uphills and downhills, sticking to flat roads.
What should have been a half-hour trip turned into an hour-long ride with Fang Yi.
Of course, whether Fang Yi, the experienced driver, wanted to take the opportunity to get a little extra close to Xia Ziqi, only he knew for sure.
Upon arriving in front of the store, Fang Yi finally stopped the bicycle.
Whether it was from the fright or the bumpy ride, Xia Ziqi, now off the bike, looked unsettled, her pretty face blushing as if ripe.
Leaving the bicycle outside, Fang Yi wasn’t worried about it being stolen; even if it was, it wouldn’t sell for much.
However, as Xia Ziqi followed behind, she tested the brakes on the bike and her expression suddenly beca very interesting.
“This bad guy, the brakes are actually fine…” Xia Ziqi, watching Fang Yi enter the store, was at a loss for words, feeling a bit accusatory, but not really angry.
Xia Ziqi might have been sowhat naive, but she wasn’t overly so.
It didn’t take her long to figure out why Fang Yi rode so fast, claiming there were no brakes, and purposely aid for potholes and manhole covers—he was trying to take advantage of her.
Although that’s what she thought, Xia Ziqi didn’t feel any displeasure in her heart—only a bit of shyness.
After pausing for a mont, Xia Ziqi entered the store.
At that ti, the electronics products had already been cleared out of the shop, leaving only so tables and chairs, making it look empty.
Upon entering, Xia Ziqi looked around and said, “This is a big shop, renting it must cost quite a bit.”
Fang Yi replied with a smile, “Not that much, just ten to twenty thousand a month.”
Xia Ziqi was surprised, “This is the city center, how can it be so cheap?!” She was skeptical.
Seeing Xia Ziqi so surprised, Fang Yi certainly wasn’t going to tell her that Shen Binan had bought the place.
He explained with a smile, “What’s there to be surprised about?
I just got incredible luck, even I don’t know why it’s so cheap.”
Xia Ziqi gave him a look, “Don’t talk nonsense.”
Fang Yi laughed, “Alright, alright, don’t dwell on that, tell what you think about this place.”
A smile appeared on Xia Ziqi’s pretty face as she looked around, “It’s so spacious here, of course, it’s great.
And there’s a lot of foot traffic, if you open a clothing store here, business will be very good.”
Actually, that wasn’t the case.
In such a pri location, the best businesses to open would be buffet or hot pot restaurants because of the heavy foot traffic.
As long as the taste wasn’t bad, it was sure to be a profitable venture.
However, although that might earn more money, Xia Ziqi couldn’t manage such a business alone.
Opening a clothing store was more manageable.
Besides, Fang Yi rely wanted Xia Ziqi to find sothing to do, to lessen her burdens, not intent on making a fortune.
If it were about making big money, wouldn’t investing in stocks or real estate be more lucrative?
Looking at the empty store, Xia Ziqi felt a sense of fulfillnt.
Suddenly turning around, with a sincere expression and eyes like shimring water, she said, “Fang Yi, thank you.”
Fang Yi responded, “Don’t thank .
If you say those two words again, I might just lose my temper.”
Xia Ziqi pursed her lips, slightly bowing her head, “But I don’t know how else to repay you.”
Fang Yi casually said, “Why say so much about it.”
Creak!
As soon as those words were spoken, the two of them froze.
