Chapter 173: Volume 1 Chapter 173 Study Well, Make Progress Every Day (17)

Cheng Su stepped out of the classroom.

Cheng Su snatched her backpack from her hand, and with his other hand he gripped her white cane:

"You're too slow, follow me."

Jiang Zhi knew he meant well, didn't stop him, grabbed the front of the white cane, and let him lead her forward.

When they reached the stairs, Cheng Su stopped and said, "I'll carry you."

Jiang Zhi froze for a moment; in her hazy vision a black silhouette appeared—probably his back.

Seeing her hesitate, Cheng Su raised his eyebrows slightly and said unhappily, "I don't have any sweat odor."

He said he had deliberately sniffed his own body earlier and found no strange smell.

Jiang Zhi lowered her forehead, a strand of black hair sliding down from the corner of her eye, covering the expression in her eyes.

"Where are you?" she probed, extending a fingertip and asking softly.

The girl's fingers were slender and fair as jade; the slanting sunset light from outside the window filtered through her fingers, landing on the stairwell wall.

Cheng Su quickly averted his gaze, slightly crouched, and gently pulled the white cane to guide her over.

When that hand touched his back, waves of electric numbness surged through his chest, tingling with itch.

"All… done?" his voice slightly hoarse, his Adam's apple rolling a few times.

Jiang Zhi wrapped her arms around his neck, her whole body lying on his broad, sturdy back, like a mountain giving her an inexplicable sense of security.

All right.

A warm, fresh fragrance sprayed past his ear; Cheng Su's body swayed slightly, then quickly steadied.

Jiang Zhi wondered, "What's wrong?"

Cheng Su's ears flushed with a shocking redness; he tilted his head to the side, avoiding her lips.

He clenched his teeth, took a deep breath, and said, "It's fine."

Suddenly he felt relieved that she couldn't see this; otherwise it would be even more embarrassing.

Step by step they went down the stairs, left the teaching building, and only then did Jiang Zhi get down from his back, gripping her slender white cane tightly, and said, "Thank you."

Cheng Su's dark, deep eyes were gloomy; the corner of his thin lips twitched slightly, his tone usual: "If you want to thank me, kiss me."

Jiang Zhi pretended not to hear: "……"

I had previously told Housekeeper Xu that the car parked at the school gate, following her, was sent by Xi Ye to protect her, keeping a distance that was neither too close nor too far, and would not disturb her while she went out.

Cheng Su pulled up on a motorcycle in front of her, placed a helmet on her head, and through the black visor saw her dazed peach-blossom eyes; his heart softened, and his fingers resting on the helmet were reluctant to leave.

Jiang Zhi felt the weight on her head and asked, "What is this?"

Cheng Su also put on a helmet of the same color, saying, "Helmet."

He held her white cane to help her sit on the motorcycle, then immediately straddled the front seat, saying, "Hold onto me."

Jiang Zhi felt around the seat beneath her, quickly realized it was a motorcycle, and upon hearing his voice she wrapped her arms around his waist.

Cheng Su lowered his head, glanced at her, and curled his lip.

Truly obedient.

Soft and well-behaved.

He unilaterally declared her his cute wife.

Jiang Zhi felt gusts brush past the visor, smelled the youth's unique crisp scent from his buzz cut, and closed her eyes.

He rode the motorcycle very steadily, likely because he was worried she wouldn't adapt; he drove the motorcycle as if it were an electric vehicle, moving slowly down the road.

Until they stopped in the parking lot of the pedestrian street, he took off her helmet, looked at her slightly curled black hair, and instinctively reached out to ruffle it.

Jiang Zhi was unaccustomed to his closeness, shifted back slightly, and murmured, "I can."

Cheng Su rubbed his fingertips, his desire unhidden and exposed in the air, he brazenly gazed at her face while leaning against the motorcycle, slowly turning the helmet in his hand.

After smoothing her hair, Jiang Zhi lifted her eyes and asked, "Where are we?"

Cheng Su led her forward with the white cane, saying, "The parking lot."

Jiang Zhi could sense no light ahead; she was completely blind and could only follow him.

Leaving the parking lot, they entered the bustling pedestrian street.

This place is in the center of City A; the setting sun dyed the whole sky, presenting a beautiful scroll, with magnificent, prosperous buildings coated in golden light.

Soon the last glow of the sunset was swallowed by thick night; the dark night sky stretched with stars, city lights like an endless ocean, the illumination brilliant and splendid.

A sleek black sedan pulled up at the curb, its front grille emblazoned with the Ulysses family crest; in the rear seat lay a blond youth, wearing a form-fitting black suit, his blond hair parted in the middle and falling over his brows, his deep blue eyes gazing out the window in one direction, he suddenly spoke:

"Stop."

The driver's subordinate glanced at the time and said, "Boss, what's wrong?"

Li Wen Nian's expression was gloomy and sinister, his gaze fixed deep on a point not far down the street.

The buzz-cut youth, possessive to the extreme, enfolded the girl in his arms; her lips hinted at a faint smile, her black hair fell to her shoulders, and her pale face was tinged with a healthy flush.

He had only been gone for a day, and she was already out on the street with another guy.

The subordinate in the driver's seat anxiously said, "Boss, the banquet is about to start."

It was the birthday banquet of the Ulysses family patriarch; all major forces had headed to the venue.

The boss had spent a day preparing a plan solely for this banquet.

But now the banquet is about to begin, and the boss actually came all the way from North Shore Harbor just to see one person.

Li Wen Nian's emotions were extremely unstable; he lowered his forehead, his long fingers trembling slightly as he took a box of medicine from a side compartment, swallowed a pill, and his voice hoarse said, "Hah, my second brother won't let me live to attend the banquet."

Behind this long sedan, several cars were parked far down the road, all there to intercept him.

The subordinate saw those cars through the rearview mirror, his expression hardened, he drew his gun and loaded it, saying, "Boss, you go first."

Li Wen Nian took off his suit jacket, put on a black hoodie, and ordered, "Notify Chen Nan, continue the plan."

Hearing the sound, the subordinate saw him get out of the car, quickly dialed the communicator, pressed the accelerator, and left as fast as possible.

Holding the doll in her hands, Jiang Zhi traced its edge with her fingers, and its shape barely took form in her mind.

"Do you like it?" she asked.

It should be a dinosaur-shaped plush toy.

Cheng Su tapped the doll's nose with his fingertip, his tone slightly fierce: "You say it looks like me?"

Jiang Zhi replied: "Mm."

In her mind, Cheng Su was just like that dinosaur in her hands, always liking to get angry and breathe fire, quite tsundere.

Cheng Su sneered: "An ugly duck? Like me?"

Jiang Zhi froze, then unconsciously touched the doll again, bewildered she asked: "Isn't this a dinosaur?"

Hearing the sound, Cheng Su raised his brow, met the girl's eyes that seemed to be shrouded in shadow, paused for a few seconds, and rudely snatched the doll from her hand.

"Mm, I was wrong." He rubbed the dark yellow ugly duck, then agreed: "It's a dinosaur."

Jiang Zhi's eyes curved slightly, revealing a faint smile, with two deep dimples on her cheeks that shone especially bright under the light.

Cheng Su was immersed in her fleeting smile, his body unconsciously leaning forward as he slowly moved closer to her.

Suddenly, a figure appeared between them, grabbing Jiang Zhi's wrist and pulling her into an embrace, his golden short hair blazing like fire and eye-catching.

Zhizhi~ I miss you so much.
