Overcast, icy rain.
The cool young girl waits at the platform.
Xue Chuchu initially thought that she would wait for the next bus, or the one after that, perhaps even longer.
She had prepared herself for a long wait, and just then, Jiang Ning stirred the disordered crowd and appeared before her.
The weather was cold, rain was falling; whether it was Xue Chuchu’s reluctance to stare or the rainy weather, Jiang Ning’s face seed elusive, except for a pair of ink-like eyes that were unforgettable.
Behind him, Xue Yuantong poked her head out, her palm-sized face hiding beneath a hat, excitedly calling out: "Chuchu, let’s go ho!"
Xue Yuantong enjoyed Chuchu’s surprised expression, secretly pleased, and felt a sense of achievent rescuing Chuchu from a dire situation!
"Huh?" Xue Chuchu was completely taken aback by Jiang Ning’s arrival, as there had never been such a precedent.
At this mont, her mood was like the countless tis she ventured forward alone in the rain, seemingly endless, and suddenly soone ca to pick her up.
Xue Chuchu gingerly lifted her steps, walked over to the titanium gray electric scooter.
Tongtong snuggled closer to Jiang Ning, "Look, there’s still room!"
Jiang Ning casually lifted Tongtong’s raincoat, handed it to Chuchu: "Put this on, cover Tongtong with it later."
Xue Chuchu: "... Okay."
All set, Xue Chuchu boarded the electric scooter.
In front of everyone’s eyes, Jiang Ning twisted the throttle, the angular body of the scooter once again pierced through the wind and rain, heading towards the distant white street.
Across from the bus stop at the entrance of a small supermarket, a boy wearing an Adidas jacket was chatting with his classmate, but his eyes occasionally glanced toward the bus stop. He was greatly shocked when he saw the graceful silhouette being picked up.
A girl wearing black-rimd glasses with thick lenses noticed the change in Jin Yuanhang: "What’s wrong?"
Jin Yuanhang chuckled awkwardly twice: "Nothing."
He and Xue Chuchu were classmates, familiar with her character, usually choosing to go solo except in class with Mu Ying.
Today, with the rain outside, upon learning that Chuchu didn’t ride her bike, he was hoping for a chance, but kept looking, still searching... and who knew she would be picked up.
Jin Yuanhang: ’Damn!’
When that cool-looking electric scooter passed the supermarket, the cold wind tossed Xue Chuchu’s hair, her ssy long hair danced freely, not looking disheveled, but rather exceptionally beautiful and ethereal.
Jin Yuanhang felt quite sour, he headed off into the distance.
The girl with black-rimd glasses who had been speaking with him called out: "Hey, where are you going?"
Jin Yuanhang continued forward, he waved dismissively, his voice muffled: "Forget about , I’m off on a voyage..."
The girl with black-rimd glasses burst into laughter and quickly grabbed her backpack to catch up with him: "You’re walking so fast, wait for !"
...
Jiang Ning’s electric scooter was very warm; these were Xue Chuchu’s feelings after getting on the scooter.
Next was its remarkable steadiness; Xue Chuchu, who frequently rode to school, knew well how easily electric scooters could skid in such weather, yet at this mont, she felt none of the signs of the wheels slipping.
She suddenly rembered that Tongtong had once secretly told her, claiming to be a big leader.
Xue Chuchu then asked her why she said so.
Tongtong explained that many big leaders have professional drivers, those drivers are particularly steady behind the wheel, leaders feel no bumps, and when she rode Jiang Ning’s scooter, she felt no bumps either, which translated to her being a big leader.
Back then, Xue Chuchu laughed it off, but after sitting on the scooter herself, realized that Tongtong wasn’t joking.
Additionally, Jiang Ning rode swiftly, nearly flying along the ground, the scenery on both sides rapidly receded; cars, buses couldn’t match the shadow of the scooter.
The usual close-to-20-minute route seed compressed into just a few minutes. Amid her daze, Xue Chuchu heard Jiang Ning’s clear voice: "Hold tight."
Xue Chuchu instinctively hugged Tongtong.
Then, the wheels suddenly braked, and due to inertia, the scooter drifted in a graceful arc, making a glamorous slide into He Ba Road from the intersection of Nanhong Road.
In the thrill, Xue Chuchu pinched Tongtong painfully, yet Tongtong was indifferent, she shouted:
"Hahaha, Chuchu look at you, how timid you are!"
As the inertia gradually faded, the scooter stopped at that second, Jiang Ning twisted the throttle, the motor drove the rear wheel to rotate wildly, buzzing off into the eastern wind and rain.
Behind, a sluggishly moving taxi, its middle-aged driver witnessed the scene in utter astonishnt!
The middle-aged driver: "Holy crap, insane skill!"
He said to the passenger in the rear seat: "Sis, did you see that, there was a super cool electric scooter drift just now!"
In the back seat of the taxi, there was a passenger in a sleeveless down jacket, dressed exquisitely, even wearing a mask couldn’t hide her beauty.
She heard the driver’s words, and casually replied: "Oh, an electric scooter?"
She glanced out the window: "Riding an electric scooter in this weather..."
The rest of her words went unsaid, but the disdain in her tone was unmistakable.
The middle-aged driver, having driven a taxi for half his life, naturally perceived the young woman’s thoughts, feeling no further interest in conversation, rely marveling to himself: "Gee, that was cool!"
The excitent seed to return him to the age of sixteen, he turned the steering wheel instinctively, causing the car to skid sharply, the female passenger in the back yelped, falling back onto the seat.
This scream imdiately pulled the driver back to reality, he detached from his dreams, returning to face life’s hardships, and hurriedly smoothed things over:
"Young lady, hold on tight, it’s slippery!"
Along the dam road, Jiang Ning executed another downhill drift while descending, causing Chuchu to hold Tongtong tightly again, Tongtong, feeling hurt by her grip, complained to Jiang Ning about Chuchu.
