You're my wife, don't doubt it!

"……Oh."

"Your emotional intelligence still needs improvement. It seems that even top students aren't perfect in everything. I'm at peace with myself now." Xiao Yao wanted to turn around and look at Yu Luying, but as he was distracted, the road ahead suddenly became bumpy, and the little motorcycle shook violently.

Yu Luying instinctively hugged Xiao Yao tightly, and said in a surprised and reproachful voice, "Just balance the car!"

……

“You know what?” Xiao Yao shouted, “I love Han Han’s ‘Like a Teenager Flying’ the most.”

"What? I can't hear you! This isn't what you call speeding around!" Yu Luying shouted, her arms wrapped around Xiao Yao's waist.

Then, the girl's words were drowned out by the noise of the traffic and the wind.

Indeed, this wasn't considered speeding, because Xiao Yao was only driving at an average speed of 30 miles per hour.

This was because the road was very crowded, because I had only drunk a little bit of beer, really just a little bit, and also because Yu Luying was sitting sideways in the back seat.

He wasn't exactly "like a teenager," because he was a teenager himself, and it was his first time riding a motorcycle, so naturally he didn't dare to be too reckless.

These small-displacement motorcycles do not require gear shifting or a driver's license. Theoretically, anyone who can ride a bicycle can drive one, and even those who cannot ride a bicycle should be able to drive one.

As we all know, the legislation against drunk driving came into effect on May 1, 2011. In China in 2004, even drunk driving in cars only resulted in points deduction, fines, and license revocation, so naturally no one cared about small-displacement motor vehicles.

Nevertheless, for the sake of his own life, health, and property safety as well as that of others, Xiao Yao still drove very cautiously.

The night wind whistled past their ears as the motorcycle glided nimbly along the non-motorized vehicle lane. The orange headlights shone on the two of them, illuminating Xiao Yao's face with a warm glow, while the girl's face remained hidden in shadow.

Yu Luying wore a royal blue long dress, which fluttered gently in the wind, like a vast blue ocean. Her blue canvas shoes and cotton socks complemented the long dress, highlighting her pure and elegant temperament.

The girl sat sideways on the back of the motorcycle, her body gently pressed against Xiao Yao's back, feeling his every turn and acceleration.

Her hair danced, fluttering in the wind along with her skirt, like a sprite dancing with the night breeze.

The motorcycle engine roared and roared, making it even harder for Xiao Yao and Yu Luying to hear each other.

Xiao Yao was in a great mood, and under the influence of alcohol, he was even a little high.

"Everyone who went crazy is dead."

All those who were once awesome have fallen on hard times.

All those who were ignorant and arrogant fell silent.

Everything you own is outdated, everything you love is old.

You've become everything you once mocked.

Oh, time has passed... Alas, this is no longer our world..."

Yu Luying slapped Xiao Yao hard on the back and shouted, "Sing something positive!"

A mischievous smile appeared on Xiao Yao's face as he changed the song.

This time, we'll jump straight into the chorus's climax.

"Mom, I'm disgusted. In their world, life is so old-fashioned, it makes people unhappy all the time. I'm tired of living, but I don't want to die. They're so hard, they make you bump into them, make you bump into them, make you bump into them until you're bleeding!"

Xiao Yao felt a sharp pain in his waist and almost cried out in pain, so he switched to another song, "My Brother Who Sleeps in the Upper Bunk".

This time, Yu Luying sang with Xiao Yao, showcasing her beautiful voice.

"...Did the girl you always talked about give you her hair ribbon? You said that whenever you look back at the sunset, whenever you hear the evening bells, all the memories from the past will flood back, before you even have time to feel sad..."

Is this positive? It doesn't seem very positive.

Aside from "NEW BOY," if you insist on being proactive, I guess I can only sing group songs?

Xiao Yao suddenly remembered that on the night before Shen Jie left, he sang this song to her, which is why Shen Jie gave him the hair clip.

Thinking of Shen Jie and her hair clip, Xiao Yao felt a pang of pain in his heart, and the car slowed down.

"What's wrong?" Yu Luying asked as Xiao Yao slowly turned off the engine and pulled over to the side of the road. "Out of gas?"

The girl in the sapphire blue dress jumped off the back seat of the car and instinctively looked around to see if there was a gas station nearby.

The boy, however, sat in the car with his feet on the ground. He grabbed her arm with his right hand, then put his left arm around the girl's slender waist and pulled her towards him.

"What are you doing?" Yu Luying scolded, "On the main road?"

Over the past few days, Yu Luying has gotten used to hugging and cuddling with boys—I mean Xiao Yao.

She no longer blushed, felt hot-hearted, or ran away like a frightened fawn, as she had at the beginning.

However, this does not mean that she can accept being intimate with someone on the main road without regard for others.

Just as Yu Luying was about to break free, she saw Xiao Yao half-stand up, move his buttocks back about the size of a person, and then guide Yu Luying to sit down in front of him, making her put her feet on the footrest.

"What are you doing..." Yu Luying muttered, "I'm afraid to drive."

“Nobody told you to drive,” Xiao Yao said, reaching out to grasp the two handlebars of the light cavalry.

In this way, it was as if Xiao Yao was holding Yu Luying tightly in his arms from behind.

"Hold on tight," Xiao Yao said with a mischievous grin, twisting the throttle and galloping off.

"Ah!" Yu Luying exclaimed in surprise.

Xiao Yao swung his two large feet a few times on either side of the light steed, then stretched them forward and placed them next to Yu Luying's feet, thus completely "wrapping" her up.

Yu Luying felt surrounded by a warm power; her heart raced and her cheeks flushed slightly.

Xiao Yao's body temperature was transmitted to her through his clothes, making her feel his strength and reassurance.

Xiao Yao himself also felt that being held in a warm embrace was very comfortable.

As the motorcycle sped away, Yu Luying gradually relaxed.

She gripped the handlebars of the cavalry's two rearview mirrors tightly, immersing herself in this shared adventure. The night wind ruffled her hair, dancing on her cheeks, making her feel as if she had become one with the city.

“Your hair,” Xiao Yao said, “is hitting my face, and it’s so itchy.”

"Why did you make me sit in front of you?" Yu Luying asked.

Xiao Yao replied with a mischievous grin, "Darling."

"Don't be so cheesy!"

"Little Apple".

"what?"

"Would you be the one to shelter me from the wind and rain?" Xiao Yao asked with a loud laugh.

Yu Luying lowered her head and bit Xiao Yao's forearm.

"Stop it! We're driving!" Xiao Yao exclaimed in alarm. "I told you to sit in the front so we could hear each other clearly!"

They rode lightly under the flashing streetlights, with tall buildings rushing past them on both sides of the street.

As Xiao Yao drove the light cavalry, he felt Yu Luying's body tremble slightly, and he couldn't help but tighten his embrace, bringing her closer to his chest.

“Little Apple,” Xiao Yao said.

"Yes," Yu Luying replied, "Big Rabbit."

"It feels so good to hold you," Xiao Yao said shamelessly.

“It’s very comfortable, I can feel it too,” Yu Luying replied.

"How come you've become so shameless now?"

"But whether it's more comfortable to hold me or Zhou Qi, is it more comfortable?" Yu Luying said quietly.

Xiao Yao's heart skipped a beat. She's here, she's finally come!

"Let me explain," Xiao Yao said.

“I’m listening,” Yu Luying said.

The wind blew through Yu Luying's long skirt, revealing the light blue stockings beneath. Her body tilted slightly as the car turned, and her hands moved from the rearview mirror to the handlebars.

Xiao Yao held Yu Luying's hand tightly.

"Is that so?" Yu Luying asked skeptically after hearing Xiao Yao's explanation.

“I swear to the Holy Mother,” Xiao Yao said.

“That little… Zhou Qi must have done it on purpose,” Yu Luying said indignantly.

"Who knows? I don't know either," Xiao Yao said. "Oh well, whatever."

What Yu Luying said next made Xiao Yao suspect that she had planted a listening device on him, or that their symbiosis had been further strengthened: "I guess Zhou Qi will confess to you next, right?"

Xiao Yao decided to tell the truth: "She didn't make a clear, direct confession, but she said some things that I think were suggestive."

"Seeing how popular you are now," Yu Luying said, "I am genuinely happy for you."

Xiao Yao didn't bother to discern whether Yu Luying was being sarcastic or serious, and continued, "So I took the initiative to tell Zhou Qi that I've won you over—I'm helping you talk to him now."

"Did you really say that to her?" Yu Luying's shoulders trembled slightly, perhaps because she was cold.

"Why do you question everything I say?" Xiao Yao asked, feigning displeasure.

“No,” Yu Luying asked him, “Why didn’t you tell her that you were talking to Shen Jie, and that you mentioned me?”

"..." Xiao Yao was stumped by this question.

Yes, why is that?
