Chapter 63: Fingers clasped

Zhou Chenglei couldn't help but look down at the slender white arms wrapped around his waist: whiter than his white shirt.

The bicycle suddenly shook and the arm around my waist tightened.

Jiang Xia was so scared that he subconsciously hugged his waist tightly: "Watch the road!"

Zhou Chenglei quickly retracted his gaze, steadied the car, and dared not look around anymore. However, he could not help but raise the corners of his mouth, smiling like a fool, and pedaling very fast.

The dirt road was bumpy and the bicycle was swaying from side to side. Jiang Xia held on tightly.

When they arrived in the town and walked towards the city, the bicycle felt much more stable and no longer bumpy. Jiang Xia also felt much more comfortable sitting on it. Just as she was about to let go, her arm was held by a big warm hand.

Zhou Cheng looked ahead and saw that there were no cars or other people on the road ahead.

He slowed down, rode with one hand, clenched his waist with the other hand, and called softly: "Jiang Xia."

Jiang Xia's heart trembled slightly, and he forced himself to calm down and responded softly: "Hmm?"

It was so quiet that Zhou Chenglei seemed to hear her response, but also seemed not to hear it. However, she did not withdraw her hand, which made him feel a little relieved. He unconsciously tightened the handlebars and said, "We are not getting divorced."

Jiang Xia's hands were pinched by him so hard that they hurt.

She subconsciously wanted to pull it back: "It hurts!"

"Sorry." Zhou Chenglei quickly let go. Just as Jiang Xia was about to pull his hand back, he quickly held it again, "Okay?"

Jiang Xia asked, "Why?"

Then Jiang Xia heard his low, magnetic and charming voice reply: "I like you, and I can't bear to let you go. What about you?"

She? Like him?

Anyone who spends time with a warm-hearted man like Zhou Chenglei will fall in love with him, right? Jiang Xia thought.

Jiang Xia couldn't deny that he felt a little happy and excited when he heard him say that he didn't want a divorce yesterday.

Zhou Chenglei gripped the handlebars of the bicycle tightly, and sweat broke out on her forehead and palms again, but she didn't answer for a long time.

Zhou Chenglei felt a little regretful. Why did he ask her whether she liked him just now? He quickly asked again, "Jiang Xia, let's not get divorced, okay?"

Jiang Xia didn't reply to him, but put his other hand around his waist, rested his head on his tall back, and nodded gently.

She has never been in love, but she knows that it is a heart-pounding feeling, and she is willing to follow her heart.

Zhou Chenglei slammed on the brakes, put his feet on the ground and stabilized the car.

Due to inertia, Jiang Xia's body rushed forward, and then he was held up by the shoulders.

Zhou Chenglei turned around and hugged her in his arms, saying in a very gentle but serious voice: "Thank you!"

As long as she doesn't leave, he will never abandon her.

Jiang Xia was hugged tightly by him, their hearts were very close, she could feel his heart beating "thump thump", strong and powerful, making her feel at ease and excited.

She raised her arms and hugged him back.

After receiving the response, Zhou Chenglei tightened his arms! "Beep..." At the other end of the road, a car was approaching from a distance.

Jiang Xia was startled by the sound of a car horn and was about to push him away, but Zhou Chenglei reached out and grabbed her head, pressing it into his arms: "Don't move, there's dust."

Jiang Xia didn't move, buried his face in his chest, not daring to look up.

She felt the cars passing by them, and she felt her face getting hot and her heart throbbing.

Wen Wan was sitting in the car, and was almost squeezed into a meat patty, but she still saw two people hugging each other on the side of the road!

She recognized them as Zhou Chenglei and Jiang Xia at a glance!

She was shocked and angry. How could they hug each other? The car passed by them, raising a cloud of dust.

After the car passed and the dust settled, Zhou Chenglei let her go and said with a smile, "We're leaving too."

Jiang Xia couldn't help but blush. She nodded calmly and sat back at the back of the bicycle.

Zhou Chenglei couldn't stop smiling: "Hold me tight, I want to ride my bike."

Jiang Xia reached out and put his arms around his waist.

Zhou Chenglei pedaled the bicycle and it started moving.

He let go of one hand, rode the bicycle with one hand, and held the little hand at her waist with the other hand, interlocking their fingers tightly, with their arms pressed against each other.

He carried her across the fields, over the hills, and through the villages. The morning breeze blew against her face. He could feel the warmth of her hands and she could smell the fresh scent on his body.

Neither of them spoke, but they didn't feel bored.

The journey was longer than Jiang Xia had thought, and when the sun rose, they still hadn't arrived.

Jiang Xia put on a straw hat and sleeves to protect himself from the sun.

Along the way, I admired the wide fields, the vast blue sky, the continuous mountains, the boundless sea, and the tall back.

The two set out at around six in the morning. Zhou Chenglei didn't dare to ride too fast. He rode about 30 to 40 kilometers per hour on the flat road. However, there were many mountain roads, ups and downs, especially uphills, which was quite tiring.

He carried her as if tireless, pedaling, facing the sunshine, all the way forward.

Jiang Xia admired Zhou Chenglei's physical strength and understood why he didn't let her ride a bicycle with him.

I have been riding for more than two hours and I am not there yet. But I should be there soon because I saw a shipyard in Jiangxia.

She tugged at Zhou Chenglei's clothes and asked, "Is this a shipyard?"

Zhou Chenglei also looked at the shipyard. He had some savings and wanted to buy a ship. Hearing this, he responded, "Yeah."

Jiang Xia thought of the setting in the book. The price of ships will start to increase at the end of this year, and the price will increase very quickly, becoming more and more expensive every year.

In the book, Zhou Chenglei's shipping business was very good. He made a lot of money before the prices of ships increased due to their size. He ordered two ships, and everyone thought he was extremely lucky.

But when he bought the boat, the price had already increased by more than a thousand, and this was not considered a big increase. After all, it would increase by several hundred every year, and it would increase even faster in a few years. In modern times, it is really not possible to afford a slightly larger fishing boat for going out to sea with just a few thousand.

Jiang Xia asked, "How much does a boat cost now?"

Zhou Chenglei: "It depends on the size and configuration. For example, the boat at home was bought by my father for the production team. It's second-hand and has been used for several years. It costs 3,000 yuan. The original price should be 6,000 or 7,000 yuan. It may be more expensive now, maybe even 8,000 yuan. The price of boats increases every year."

Jiang Xia asked again: "Do you want to buy another boat?"

Zhou Chenglei said honestly: "I have this plan."

He wanted to let her live a good life as soon as possible. He originally wanted to wait until he had more money to buy a bigger boat to go out to the sea, but now he wanted to buy a smaller one first, so that he could earn more every day.

Jiang Xia knew that he had money because he never avoided her when he put money in front of her: "Now that reform and opening up have come, the price of boats should go up very quickly. If you have money, I think you should buy one as soon as possible. If you don't want to buy one, you should order it first. You should be able to pay a deposit, right? Let's go back and see how much money we have in total? See if it's enough to buy a boat. If I had known earlier, I would have sold those two pearls. They should be worth some money."

Zhou Chenglei shook her hand, his eyebrows stained with a smile: "No, I still have some savings, just paying the deposit should be enough."

"How about we go to the shipyard when we go back this afternoon? I've switched with Big Brother today, so we're going to go out to sea for the next three days, right?"

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Zhou Chenglei raised the corners of his mouth slightly. He liked her discussing the future with him, and her views were consistent with his own.

Another half an hour passed and we finally arrived in the city. It took more than three hours and it was already past ten o'clock!

In the city, you can see rows of buildings on both sides of the road, most of them are three or four stories high, and some are six or seven stories high.

The city is much more lively than the town. You can see people riding bicycles and cars on the road everywhere.

Zhou Chenglei rode his bicycle into the military hospital.

Ah, a little late again. This chapter took me an hour and a half to revise. I hope it can bring you some sweetness^_^ (End of this chapter)
