Ye Linlang stared at the fleet of cars in front of her with her mouth agape. Only then did she realize that from here all the way to the bridge, there was a dense mass of cars!
One car after another, there was almost no gap!
Some of the car owners might be too impatient, and they would honk their horns from time to time, making the people waiting even more impatient!
…
Ye Linlang felt uneasy in the car, and nearly ten minutes had passed! They actually hadn’t been able to reach the bridge!
It couldn’t be that bad!
Logically speaking, it was only slightly past four o’clock, and it wasn’t rush hour. How could the traffic be so congested?!
Ye Linlang stole a glance at the taxi meter in front. When she saw the amount displayed on it, she suddenly felt very anxious.
She turned her head and stared at Jiang Qiran with her bright eyes. Her expression was somewhat cautious as she asked.
“Qiran, how far is this place from your house?”
Ye Linlang really felt very anxious. If the distance was not far, she might as well walk back with Jiang Qiran!
Looking at the way these cars were blocked, she did not know when the road would clear up!
…
Jiang Qiran’s eyes were dark and deep. He calmly looked back at Ye Linlang, the lines of his thin lips cold and beautiful.
“We’ll probably reach there in about four to five kilometers, it’ll only take a short while. Why, do you want to walk?”
The two of them sat in the back row and were very close to each other.
Ye Linlang looked at Jiang Qiran’s handsome face and suddenly didn’t dare to look directly at the youth beside her.
Every time her gaze met Jiang Qiran’s, she always felt that if she continued to look at him like this, she would be unable to help but become infatuated with Jiang Qiran. It wouldn’t be good if she were to do something blasphemous.
“Yes, that’s right. After we pass this bridge, shall we get off and walk? I feel that there’s too much traffic here. If we walk back, it might be faster.”
As Ye Linlang spoke, she lowered her head in a fluster to hide her slightly hot face.
“But aren’t your feet uncomfortable? Although it’s not far, can you walk? Why don’t I carry you there? It’s not far anyway…”
Before Jiang Qiran could finish his sentence, Ye Linlang suddenly raised her head as if she was on fire and shook her head repeatedly at Jiang Qiran!
“No need, no need. The doctor said that my injuries were not serious. You exaggerated so much in school. Could it be that you fooled yourself too?”
As Ye Linlang spoke, she suddenly recalled the scene where Jiang Qiran showed the slides in class.
Although she did hurt her muscles and bones, in fact, it was not as serious as fractures, nor was it to the extent that she had to be hospitalized.
It was just that Jiang Qiran had deliberately found such a reason for Ye Linlang to “reasonably” leave school.
It was true that the scan was hers, but the bone fracture could not be seen clearly. It was also made up by Jiang Qiran.
According to the doctor, she only needed to be obedient and not jump around. She would be fine after two or three days!
Ye Linlang recalled the image of Jiang Qiran defending her, and she felt an indescribable sweetness in her heart.
She didn’t want Jiang Qiran to see her abnormality, so she hurriedly lowered her head.
“Qiran, it’s only four or five thousand meters. I can walk. Just hold me when the time comes!”
…
When Jiang Qiran saw Ye Linlang lowering her head and not looking at him, he felt a little strange.
What’s wrong with Ye Linlang?
He stared at Ye Linlang’s pinkish ears and suddenly seemed to come to a realization.
Could it be that this girl was shy?
No way. He was just suggesting to carry Ye Linlang back. Moreover, wasn’t he the one who carried Ye Linlang to the hospital previously?
Wasn’t it a little late to be shy now?
…
However, Ye Linlang’s current girlish appearance was surprisingly not annoying.
Jiang Qiran nodded with a smile.
“Alright then, we’ll get off after passing this bridge. If you really feel that your left leg can’t take it, just ask me to carry you.”
Ye Linlang’s cheeks flushed red, and her voice was as low as a mosquito’s.
“Alright, I got it.”
…
Since they had already decided to get off the car and walk, the two of them picked up their school bags and carried them.
The taxi driver followed Jiang Qiran’s instructions and stopped by the tree-lined road on the right after crossing the bridge.
Since they used the taxi-booking software, the money had already been paid. The two of them got out of the car right away. It could be said that they had saved the driver some money on gas.
Ye Linlang’s legs were slightly clumsy. She got out of the car and had only taken two steps when she felt a needle-like pain coming from the injured part of her left shin.
Although Jiang Qiran didn’t walk very fast, Ye Linlang still slowed down.
“What’s wrong?”
Jiang Qiran’s jade-like eyes were fixed on Ye Linlang, and there was an unnoticeable concern in his eyes.
Ye Linlang shook her head reluctantly. Her clear eyes stared at Jiang Qiran, shining with a warm jade-like luster under the sunlight.
“Nothing, it’s just that my left leg hurts a little. I… I’ll lean on you a little more. Would you mind?”
Ye Linlang lowered her voice as she finished speaking.
She was actually a little embarrassed.
After all, how should they define their relationship?
They weren’t boyfriend and girlfriend.
But if they were just ordinary friends, with a girl leaning against a guy’s body, no matter how she thought about it, wouldn’t she feel a little inexplicable affection?
If she didn’t like him a little, why would she want him to get close to her?
That was what Ye Linlang was worried about.
Jiang Qiran slowly reached out and held Ye Linlang’s arm with an indifferent expression.
“I wasn’t joking when I said I could carry you.”
Ye Linlang glanced at the endless stream of people and cars on the street. Her skin was really thin.
“No! There’s no need… I’ll just lean against you to borrow some strength!”
If she was carried back by Jiang Qiran in public, Ye Linlang would feel embarrassed just thinking about it.
Jiang Qiran saw that Ye Linlang was so stubborn, so he gave up trying to persuade her.
Ye Linlang’s face was slightly hot, and she stretched out her hand to lean on Jiang Qiran’s arm.
The two of them were very close to each other. Ye Linlang could even smell the minty scent on Jiang Qiran’s body. It was cold.
“Are you wearing some minty perfume? It’s faint. If you don’t get close, you can’t even smell it, but it smells good.”
Jiang Qiran looked at Ye Linlang in confusion.
“No, I don’t smell it. And I’ve always hated people who use perfume.”
Ye Linlang was stunned. Could it be that her nose was malfunctioning?
But she felt that the faint peppermint fragrance on Jiang Qiran’s body was real.
Ye Linlang looked at Jiang Qiran’s eyelashes that were thicker than a girl’s, and his skin that was so good that she could barely see his pores. She suddenly felt ashamed of her inferiority.
Ahhhh, why did a boy look more exquisite than a girl?!
And he was so refined that he did not look feminine at all!
Just as Ye Linlang was cursing in her heart, the sky suddenly turned dark.
Before she could react, it started to rain!
