Chapter 145 Ji Siyuan Changes His Mind

Ji Siyuan thought that becoming Chi Chan's friend would be a good idea.

Back then, when Zijing targeted Chi Chan out of anger, Ji Siyuan felt very guilty.

But feeling guilty, Ji Siyuan went along with it and agreed to Shu Jia's request to join the 'study'.

He became part of the 'learning' process and also saw the truly soft side of Chi Chan that she had never shown to the outside world.

Unlike those immature, infatuated girls, Chi Chan is always very clear-headed and maintains rationality and composure at all times.

Whether it was Chi Chan's persistence in striving to achieve her goals or her clear-headedness and rationality in the face of things, Ji Siyuan felt even more that Chi Chan was the same kind of person as him.

Ji Siyuan felt that if he had to find a woman to spend the rest of his boring life with, he would have to.

So, Chi Chan is pretty good.

Once the decision was made, the frustration in his heart vanished, and Ji Siyuan's mood was completely different.

It was no longer the kind of 'responsibility' I felt towards Chi Chan in the early morning—a responsibility tinged with guilt.

Instead, after careful consideration, he decided to take responsibility for Chi Chan and was willing to spend the rest of his life with her.

When a person's thoughts change, their actions will naturally follow suit.

Ji Siyuan, who was sitting on the back seat, was holding onto the back seat, but when he saw the postures of other couples on other electric scooters along the way, he changed his mind.

Ji Siyuan raised an eyebrow; perhaps he could give it a try.

Fearing that suddenly hugging her waist and pressing her back against him would be too presumptuous, Ji Siyuan raised his hand and gently placed one hand on Chi Chan's shoulder.

Suddenly, Chi Chan, who was riding his electric scooter, felt a hand on his shoulder.

Like a ball of cotton, it warmly touched the cicada's shoulder.

"What are you doing? Don't grab me."

I lost my grip on the handlebars, and the bike started wobbling and zigzagging on the road.

"ah--"

Chi Chan exclaimed in surprise, momentarily forgetting to slow down and apply the brakes.

Ji Siyuan's hand went directly through Chi Chan's shoulder to the handlebars and squeezed the brake for Chi Chan.

The electric scooter immediately slowed down and finally came to a steady stop on the side of the road.

After the electric scooter stopped, Ji Siyuan immediately released the handlebars and at the same time released Chi Chan's hand.

"Ji Siyuan, what were you doing just now?"

Chi Chan's face was extremely pale. With cars coming and going on the greenway, an accident almost occurred.

"Hold on tight! I see everyone else is doing it this way!"

Ji Siyuan answered Chi Chan in a serious tone.

Chi Chan followed Ji Siyuan's gaze and looked down the road. There was a couple riding an electric scooter.

The girl sat in the back seat, her arms tightly wrapped around the boy's waist, like conjoined twins.

Chi Chan:......

“We are different from them.”

After a long pause, Chi Chan managed to utter this sentence.

"What's the difference? We're going to spend our lives together."

Chi Chan: "...Get on the bus, stop holding on to me, hold on to your seat."

Ji Siyuan followed Chi Chan into the car, but did not listen to Chi Chan's instruction to hold onto the seat tightly.

As soon as Chi Chan started the electric scooter, Ji Siyuan placed his paw on Chi Chan's shoulder, this time with a bit more force.

After the first and second times, Chi Chan became much calmer.

She steered the car with one hand, then raised her left hand and grabbed Ji Siyuan's hand off her shoulder.

She grabbed it, and Ji Siyuan immediately put it back.

"Drive safely and don't be distracted."

Ji Siyuan's smiling words of advice reached Chi Chan's ears.

The two people were already very close to each other in the front and back seats.

In addition, with the electric scooter moving, Ji Siyuan was afraid that Chi Chan wouldn't hear him, so he deliberately leaned close to Chi Chan's ear while speaking.

Unbeknownst to Ji Siyuan, Chi Chan's ears, hidden beneath her black hair, turned a quiet red, as if burned.

Chi Chan's hands stopped moving, but her mouth could still move.

Then, Chi Chan spoke.

“Ji Siyuan, you’re acting very strange today. You’re not like your usual self at all. I hope we can get along as usual. The way you are now, it’s really awkward for me to be with you.”

"Today is our first day trying to be like lovers, and I'm still not used to it. I feel like I'm not doing well enough, but I will continue to work hard."

Ji Siyuan's answer was completely out of line with Chi Chan's, and Chi Chan felt utterly exhausted.

She immediately changed her approach, starting again: "Let's go back to the original topic. You said you would take responsibility for me, right?"

Ji Siyuan quickly replied, "Yes."

Chi Chan: "I refuse. Before, I didn't care, it was just a game, no need to take responsibility. Now I feel that you and I are not suitable, so I refuse. I have the right to refuse, right?"

Ji Siyuan immediately retorted, his voice slightly urgent: "What's wrong with us? It's only the first day, and you can already tell we're not a good match?"

Completely opposite to Chi Chan, Ji Siyuan was quite satisfied.

He thought that Chi Chan, who had been acting strangely all day, was kind of cute.

But when Chi Chan uttered the words "not suitable," Ji Siyuan's good mood, which he had built up along the way, vanished instantly.

Chi Chan stared straight ahead, constantly observing the road conditions, while his mind regained its composure.

Therefore, when Ji Siyuan asked this question, Chi Chan answered without hesitation: "You are not my type."

"So what type do you like?"

Chi Chan, who made up a random excuse: "..."

But she quickly came up with a solution.

"I like guys who are lively, cheerful, humorous, and warm to others."

Every rule and regulation is based on the opposite side of Ji Siyuan.

Upon hearing this, Ji Siyuan immediately frowned, but his brows quickly relaxed.
