But this feeling didn't last long. Before he had even gone halfway, he was surprised to find that he couldn't pedal the bike anymore.
He squatted down in surprise to examine it.
"Damn..." Shen Moyu rubbed his face.
The bicycle chain broke.
He checked the time; it was six o'clock. Morning reading started at 6:40, and he should have been there in five minutes, which would have been enough time to start his test. But things didn't go as planned.
Yes, the bike chain fell off.
Frustrated, he fiddled with the chain, trying to fix it, but no matter what he did, he couldn't get it together. After some time, he looked up at the time and saw it was already 6:20.
He slapped his forehead hard, thinking to himself, "How could I be so unlucky? What good is getting up early? God just plays a dare on you and you're gone."
Just as he was resigned to pushing his bike to school, he suddenly heard the sound of a motorcycle screeching to a halt behind him.
Shen Moyu was startled and hurriedly retreated. He saw a black Yamaha motorcycle speeding towards him like a black bird.
"Eh!! Eh eh eh!"
Su Jinning quickly pressed the brake, which brought the motorcycle to a steady stop just centimeters away from Shen Moyu.
He took off his helmet, wanting to see who was pushing the bike in the middle of the road.
The moment I looked up, I met Shen Moyu's gaze.
He was pushing the cart, his hands and face covered in engine oil.
Shen Moyu also looked at the perpetrator, Su Jinning, who was wearing a sleek black helmet, which made him stand out against the cool motorcycle. He was tall and slender, and his long legs made it easy for him to get off the motorcycle.
Without thinking much, Su Jinning blurted out, "Are you crazy? Pushing a cart and standing in the middle of the road?"
Shen Moyu pushed the bike back a few steps and said expressionlessly, "You go first."
Just as Su Jinning was about to leave, he suddenly remembered the embarrassing incident from last night. He coughed lightly, turned around, and asked, "Um, about last night, you...you're not angry, are you?"
Both cars were parked on the side of the road. Shen Moyu glanced at him impatiently and said, "I have no interest in chatting with you on the main road."
"Who was chatting with you?" Su Jinning rubbed her hair, which she hadn't had time to style properly that morning, and wasn't planning to bring up yesterday's events. She glanced elsewhere and spotted his bicycle with its broken chain.
"The chain came off?"
"Um."
Shen Moyu looked at him and tentatively asked, "You know how to do it?"
Su Jinning shook her head: "No."
"..."
He put his helmet back on, as if he had never asked.
Shen Moyu really wanted to punch him and teach him a lesson.
Su Jinning noticed Shen Moyu glaring at him and said with a bit of a laugh, "I can't fix cars, but I can carry people."
Shen Moyu looked at him with slight surprise, raised an eyebrow, and then declined: "Oh, not really necessary."
"Huh?" Su Jinning's face turned half green. She stammered for a long time, finally blurting out, "He's hopeless!"
"Whether you like carving or not is up to you."
"..."
Su Jinning gritted her teeth and pointed at him for a long time, then slapped herself.
Well, I brought this on myself.
Shen Moyu chuckled: "There's no need for that."
"Damn you, Shen Moyu!" Su Jinning let out a long sigh, her face twitching slightly. "Take it or leave it. If you don't want to sit, then push your cart away!"
He said this in a fit of pique, then called out to the female student walking alone beside him, "Hey, junior, get on, I'll take you to school."
The junior girl he mentioned exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? Me? You...?"
She covered her mouth as if she had won the lottery and asked him, after all, Su Jinning's motorcycle back seat was the dream of every girl in the school!
She could hardly believe it.
Su Jinning didn't say anything, but pointed to the back seat. The girl, quite surprised, sat down.
Shen Moyu gave a slight, admiring smile.
That's awesome.
Does this count as trafficking underage girls?
Isn't this illegal?
He didn't care and just kept pushing the bike. If he was too late, so be it. He accepted his fate. What if Old Yan suddenly developed cataracts or his eyesight suddenly stopped working and he didn't see that he hadn't finished writing?
He chuckled at his own thoughts; wasn't that cursing someone? Hahaha.
Su Jinning kept looking at Shen Moyu behind him as he drove, going back and forth three times. He knew that if he pushed the car like this, he wouldn't make it to school in time, let alone do his homework. He had seen Shen Moyu's schoolbag on the bench when he got out of school yesterday and even wanted to ask someone to deliver it to him, but no one knew where Shen Moyu lived.
If Yan Sheng catches him not doing his homework, he'll punish him even more severely, right?
Thinking of this, he inadvertently turned around and snapped at his junior, "Get out of here."
The junior was a little dazed, still basking in her happiness, and looked at him in surprise: "Huh?"
"We're already at the main gate, do you expect me to escort you into your classroom?" Su Jinning said coldly, leaving her to go downstairs on her own.
She wondered if she had misheard, but Su Jinning quickly urged her on, "I'll treat you?"
"Oh, no need... I'm sorry."
After saying that, the girl felt a little embarrassed, her face flushed as she got off the bus. Clutching her backpack strap, she said shyly, "Th-thank you, senior..."
