It's not because the song itself is a household name, but because I feel like I've heard it somewhere before, deep in my memory.

"This song..."

Su Ping was humming a song when she heard Song Qi's hesitant voice. She assumed he was asking for the song title, so she answered casually.

Do you also think this song is good?

Song Qi shook his head, ultimately not revealing his thoughts.

What is he thinking? It's normal to feel familiar with such a well-known song, so why does he think that Su Ping would feel the same way?

Su Ping didn't hear his reply, so she couldn't help but turn her head to look over. After seeing his expressionless face, she quickly looked away.

At the same time, I mentally criticized him a thousand times.

If you don't like it, you don't like it. Why make that face?

No one spoke again while listening to the music, and time passed quite quickly.

Half an hour later, Su Ping followed the map and circled around most of the way, only to find that she was getting further and further away.

"Is there something wrong with your map navigation? It shows to go straight, but there's clearly a lake ahead. Are you telling me to drive into the lake?"

Su Ping looked at the navigation on the map several times, and finally simply parked the car on the side of the road.

Song Qi had his eyes closed, but after hearing her angry voice, he couldn't help but open his eyelids and peek outside.

"You've gone too far. You should have turned right at that alleyway."

He was fine when he didn't speak, but once he did, Su Ping was furious.

The anger that had been raging for so long suddenly found an outlet, and Su Ping turned to him and retorted, "You knew I made a mistake, so why didn't you remind me?"

Song Qi found her outburst of anger inexplicable and simply looked at her without saying a word.

A gust of evening breeze blew in through the window, and Su Ping instantly woke up.

She didn't know that she could be so impatient with Song Qi sometimes. Song Qi hadn't even looked out the window, so naturally he didn't know where she was.

"I'm not familiar with this area, so you should help me check the route."

Hearing Su Ping awkwardly turn her head away to save face, Song Qi suddenly couldn't hold back and couldn't help but raise his hand to pat her head.

"Okay, okay, turn right at the next intersection."

Feeling his hand gently stroke her hair, Su Ping felt as if she had been struck by lightning, an indescribable sensation.

What's this all about? Are you trying to coax her like a child?

Despite thinking this way, Su Ping listened to him and started the car, then turned right ahead.

Although it was only a kilometer away, Su Ping didn't drive fast because of Song Qi's guidance.

It was the first time I realized that time could pass so slowly.

"It's just ahead."

Song Qi pointed to the residential area ahead, paused, and continued, "It's not easy to turn around up ahead, so you can just stop here and I'll walk over."

Remembering the purpose of her visit, Su Ping quickly pulled the car over to the side of the road.

After thanking him, Song Qi unbuckled his seatbelt and prepared to get out of the car, only to see that Su Ping next to him had also unbuckled her seatbelt.

He paused, frowned, and looked at Su Ping's face with a puzzled expression, asking, "What are you doing?"

Without changing her hand movements, Su Ping quickly unbuckled her seatbelt and replied without looking up, "I want to go to your house!"

"..."

Realizing she had let something slip, Su Ping quickly looked at Song Qi, who was standing silently to the side. After her eyes darted around, she came up with a more plausible excuse.

"It's not safe for a boy like you to walk alone at night. Let me walk you home."

Song Qi raised an eyebrow. She was so thoughtful, worrying about his safety walking alone at night. I'm afraid her real intentions weren't with the bar.

Sure, he was also curious to see what she was up to.

Song Qi hummed in agreement, then looked away, opened the car door, and got out.

Su Ping stared at his figure, somewhat unable to process what was happening.

So does he agree or disagree?

Let's get off the bus first and talk about it later!

After locking the car, Su Ping quickly followed Song Qi and noticed that he wasn't walking fast. Was he deliberately waiting for her?

The streetlights must be malfunctioning; they're flickering like something out of a horror movie.

Su Ping shuddered and ran towards Song Qi in three quick steps.

Hearing the noise behind him, Song Qi subconsciously stopped and turned around. Su Ping didn't expect him to stop and bumped into him.

The sudden impact caused Song Qi to stumble back two steps, and he instinctively hugged the person in his arms.

The two hearts were so close that they could clearly hear each other's heartbeats.

Song Qi snapped out of his daze, looked down at Su Ping in his arms, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Su Ping didn't know how to describe her feelings to him. Now, her fear had been completely replaced by embarrassment, and her face was burning uncontrollably.

At night, the boy was dressed in thin clothes, his shirt jacket was open and not buttoned up, and Su Ping easily wrapped her arms around his slender waist.

"I...I was just startled by a dark figure..."

Su Ping quickly released her arms from Song Qi's waist, but when she tried to get out of his embrace, she found that Song Qi's hands were still around her waist.

Because she was at home, Su Ping was wearing a casual silk dress, and through the fabric, she could clearly feel Song Qi's hand resting on her waist.

It was a strange feeling. Su Ping couldn't help but imagine their current position in her mind. After realizing what was happening, she quickly pushed him away, blushing.

"What's wrong? Didn't you pounce on me yourself?"

Song Qi's gaze fell on her face, not missing the look of bewilderment in her eyes.

He had just suspected that she was deliberately lunging at him, but now that he thinks about it, he guessed she was genuinely frightened.

"It was an accident. Who knew you would suddenly stop and turn around..."

Su Ping muttered to herself, looking down.

Seeing that Song Qi opened his mouth as if to say something, Su Ping quickly grabbed his arm and pushed him forward.

"Alright, alright, this place is kind of scary, let's go quickly."

Song Qi was pushed forward by her, looking down at her hand that had landed on his arm, feeling somewhat dazed.

This didn't seem to be the first time; he found himself surprisingly unable to resist her advances.

This has never happened before, so why is this happening?

The distance of a few hundred meters was neither far nor near, and the two walked one after the other.

Su Ping felt increasingly ashamed of what she had just done, and couldn't help but stomp on Song Qi's shadow twice.

But she didn't notice that Song Qi had just looked down and had seen her secretly stepping on his shadow.

Is this the real her, or is it all an act?

Song Qi pursed his lips and didn't speak, feeling a bit confused. Before he knew it, the two of them had walked downstairs.
