Chapter 33

I don’t know if it was Meng Hechuan’s competitive spirit that was aroused, or if he was just that fierce in riding a bike.

All the way from the bookstore to Shichahai Park, Bai Yan hardly felt him brake.

Even though there was a living person like her in the back seat of the car, the speed never slowed down.

Bai Yan wanted to tell him to slow down, but she didn’t dare.

If they are really late, Meng Hechuan will put all the blame on her, and she will have to treat them to lunch, which will not be worth it.

Finally, she had no other choice but to make up her mind and open her hands to grab the corner of the man’s clothes.

After making a series of clanging sounds along the way, the car finally stopped at the entrance of Shichahai Park.

Bai Yan jumped off the bike, Meng Hechuan propped up the pedals of the bike and leaned against it diagonally.

The two men looked at Lu Jili leisurely, who was running breathlessly from the other side of the street, and a cunning look flashed in their eyes at the same time.

“Okay… okay… you! Did you know that the road ahead was under construction and cars couldn’t get in? Do you know that I ran a full three kilometers?”

Lu Jili finally ran to them, put his hands on his knees, and said breathlessly: “You even betray your brothers, Meng Hechuan, you are not a human being!”

Meng Hechuan said frankly, “I accept the defeat. Captain Lu, it’s up to you to choose whether we go to Liqun or Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant for lunch.”

Lu Jili felt frustrated and was unwilling to pay any attention to Meng Hechuan.

Walk around Bai Yan’s side the whole time.

It was deep winter at this time, and the ice on Shichahai Sea was solid.

Both ice skating and ice sledding are the most fun.

Bai Yan was an out-and-out southerner in her previous life, and had little chance to see snow, let alone ice skating.

At first glance, seeing such a large natural ice rink makes me excited but also worried.

I was excited to see people having fun on the skating rink, but I was worried that I didn’t know how to ski.

Lu Jili ran to rent three pairs of ice skates, and the three of them sat on the steps to change.

Bai Yan moved slowly and observed Meng Hechuan’s movements for a long time. She had just put on one foot when the two men beside her stood up.

When Meng Hechuan and Lu Jili were young, they often skated on the artificial river in the compound and they became very good at it.

As soon as the two looked at each other, there was a tacit understanding in their eyes.

“Sister Yan, take your time putting on your shoes and be our referee. Let’s race around first.”

Bai Yan nodded, her eyes quickly passed over Lu Jili and fell on Meng Hechuan.

He took off his coat, revealing the casual shirt underneath, and tucked his trouser legs neatly into his ice skates, making him look tall and handsome.

“Sister Ayan, who are you cheering for?” Lu Jili shouted at her.

Meng Hechuan glanced at him, “Isn’t she the referee?”

“The referee can cheer for it too.”

Meng Hechuan looked over, and there was a hint in Heisuosuo’s eyes that Bai Yan had never seen before.

“Give……”

“Sister Yan, cheer me on. I won. I’ll give you both roast duck legs later!”

Bai Yan pursed her lips and said, “Come on, Captain Lu.”

Lu Jili smiled smugly and teased Meng Hechuan, “Look, no matter whether we’re competing in flying in the sky or sliding on the ground, the girls only look at me!”

Meng Hechuan ignored him, stretched his arms and shoulders, and raised two fingers, “I’ll bet you two duck legs.”

“Let’s gamble. If I win the duck leg, I’ll bring it back to give Sister Yan some meat!”

Meng Hechuan and Lu Jili, one handsome and elegant, the other tall and mighty, stood side by side. Before the competition officially started, many people gathered around them and looked over.

Bai Yan stood up on one foot and raised her hands above her head, “Everyone, get ready–“

“start!”

As soon as she put down her hands, the two men in front of her rushed out like arrows.

Bai Yan followed the crowd of spectators and looked into the distance, surprised, “Aren’t they too fast?”

A female comrade applauded, “Comrade, are those two athletes? They skate too fast, aren’t they?”

Bai Yan shook her head, “They are not…”

But it shouldn’t be surprising that both of them can fly a plane and are good at ice skating, right?

The battle situation ahead was tense, and Meng Hechuan turned around first with a small gap in length.

The wind blew his short hair, revealing his angular and handsome face.

“The guy in the denim shirt is so handsome, comrade, he’s not your date, right?”

The girl next to him boldly asked Bai Yan, and when she saw Bai Yan shaking her head, she excitedly said to her friend next to her: “Young talent, do you want to meet him?”

“How can I be so embarrassed!”

“What’s the big deal? Movies always say that when a girl chases a guy, it’s like a piece of gauze. It’s the new century woman who is brave enough to pursue love!”

Bai Yan coughed lightly, “But I heard that his fortune is not good, and he seems to be unlucky in marriage.”

“…”

Looking at the two girls who left with strange expressions, Bai Yan didn’t feel any burden at all.

Amitabha.

She was not trying to ruin Meng Hechuan’s marriage.

I am doing good deeds and saving the ignorant girl.

After all, the now handsome Chief Engineer Meng will have a bad ending.

girlhelpsgirl (girls helping girls), she is kindly reminding others not to go astray by Meng Hechuan.

There was another round of cheers. Bai Yan looked up and saw Meng Hechuan was the first to slide back to the starting point.

The ice skates drew a circle on the spot, and Meng Hechuan stood steadily on the ice.

Maybe it’s because I’m not in the big team, and I’m surrounded by my childhood friends.

There was a rare sense of ease and carefreeness on his handsome face.

He smiled faintly, and his unpleasant image that kept strangers away faded a lot.

It was rare for Bai Yan to see him displaying the spirit that a young man should have, other than vigilance.

Meng Hechuan looked at Lu Jili who was following closely behind him, “Captain Lu, two duck legs, one ounce less will do.”

“If I hadn’t just run three kilometers and was exhausted, would I have lost to you?”

Meng Hechuan slid towards Bai Yan with his hands behind his back, raised his eyebrows, “What? Can’t you stand losing? Another match?”

He stopped when he was two or three steps away from Bai Yan.

When Lu Jili also slid over, he pointed at her and said, “You said you are physically exhausted. Fine, I won’t bully you. This time, I will carry the weight and make you admit defeat with all your heart.”

“You carry weights?”

“I’ll carry her on my back and have another race with you.”

When the people around heard that there was going to be a good show, they cheered again.

Before Bai Yan could even put on her shoes, she was inexplicably caught up in the “war” between the two brothers.

She stood behind Meng Hechuan with an awkward expression, hesitating and not daring to jump up.

“Sister Yan, hurry up, don’t waste time. Whether we will have meat to eat soon depends on whether you can hold him back!”

Bai Yan listened and didn’t think what Lu Jili said made sense. She whispered to Meng Hechuan, “Chief Engineer Meng, I, I’m actually quite heavy…”

Meng Hechuan squatted down, and when he turned his head, his hair covered the red tips of his ears. “Bai Yan, I have the strength of an adult man. Instead of worrying about your weight, it would be more practical to worry about not having duck legs to eat.”
