Gu Bin was truly exasperated and quickly interrupted, "Stop, stop, stop! I don't want to hear your nonsense anymore. I'm planning to go to the city later. My family sent me a bicycle ticket, and I'm going to buy a bike. Do you want to come with me?"
Xie Yan didn't want to go. His plan for today was to lie around all day. He was so tired yesterday, he needed to recover his energy today!
But Gu Bin is going to the city! This isn't the commune; it's quite attractive. There's a black market there. Maybe we can go in and get something.
Thinking of this, he nodded. "Okay! Have you borrowed the bicycle?"
"Okay, let's go, let's leave now while it's still cool in the morning!"
Xie Yan got up and tidied up the blankets he had made a mess of. "Let's go! You go ride your bike, I'll go tell my father-in-law we'll meet at the village entrance!"
When Xie Yan arrived, only his sister-in-law Liu Lanlan was there, chopping pig feed. Xie Yan went up to her and called out, "Sister-in-law! I have to go to the city with Gu Bin today. Remember to tell Yue Hui later!"
Liu Lanlan put down the machete in her hand, stood up and asked doubtfully, "Won't it be too late to go now?"
Xie Yan shook her head. "It's alright, sister-in-law. Gu Bin borrowed a bicycle, so we'll ride there. I'll be going now; they're already waiting for me over there!"
"Oh! Okay, okay, oh! By the way, have you had breakfast yet?" Liu Lanlan quickly asked Xie Yan, who had already arrived at the door.
Xie Yan turned around and said loudly, "I've eaten, sister-in-law, you go ahead with your work, I'm leaving now!"
Xie Yan actually wanted to tell Yu Yuehui, but he really didn't know where Yu Yuehui was working.
When Xie Yan arrived at the village entrance, he saw Gu Bin already waiting for him on his bicycle. No wonder idol dramas always have scenes of the male lead riding a bicycle. You know what, it really does look quite good. This was the first time Xie Yan had ever noticed that Gu Bin had such long legs!
That guy in the white shirt and gray pants, with his back ramrod straight, looked pretty intimidating from behind!
Xie Yan went over and patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go!"
Once Gu Bin got up, Xie Yan jumped up in one go – perfect!
This was Gu Bin's first time riding a bicycle here. He rode quite fast at first, mainly because he was happy thinking about having a bicycle in the future and being able to go to the commune anytime!
After riding for a while, his enthusiasm couldn't overcome his fatigue, and he started to slow down. Finally, after riding over a small hill, he stopped, panting heavily, and stared speechlessly at Xie Yan. "I've realized, you really have no shame! I'm sweating buckets from riding, and you're just sitting comfortably in the back?"
"You're the kind of person my mom talks about who only moves when poked. If I didn't say anything, would you have just settled down in the city?"
Xie Yan shrugged. "How could you say that? I just saw you were having a lot of fun riding. I thought you enjoyed riding."
"If you don't want to ride anymore, or you can't ride anymore, then just say so!"
"See? How am I supposed to know if you don't tell me? I'm not a mind reader!"
Gu Bin stared at Xie Yan with deadpan eyes. "Go ahead and make things up. I'll watch you make things up. Keep making things up, keep going! Let's see what other nonsense you can come up with to fool me!"
Xie Yan patted Gu Bin on the shoulder, "Hey! Comrade Gu Bin, how could you think of me like that? Am I that kind of person? You're my good brother, how could I lie to you! These are truly my heartfelt words! How could you say I made them up?"
"You're making me sad, aren't you?"
Seeing Gu Bin's face darken even more, he said, "Shut up!"
Xie Yan grinned and took the car from his hands. "Come on, I'll drive you from here. Don't look so sullen. You're already tanned enough! You're not as fair as before. If you get any darker, no girl will like you anymore!"
Gu Bin was both exhausted and angry. He pointed at Xie Yan and said, "Ride! Hurry up and ride! Don't you know what time it is? Stop talking nonsense with me!"
If he hadn't been so exhausted today that he didn't have the energy to argue with Xie Yan, he would have definitely had a showdown with Xie Yan. All he could do was roll his eyes to express his contempt and disdain for him.
The second half involved Xie Yan carrying Gu Bin. When they finally arrived, Xie Yan was panting heavily. "Ugh! Gu Bin is so heavy! He looks so thin, how can he be so heavy!"
At this moment, he began to miss his wife, thinking how much better it would have been to come with her!
He didn't have to lift a finger the whole time; he could just sit comfortably in the back. Gu Bin was such a waste of his height; he was shorter than him and even less than his wife!
If Gu Bin knew what Xie Yan was thinking right now, he would definitely kick him hard. How could this be compared? You can't even compare to your wife, yet you have the nerve to criticize others!
The two went to a department store first to look at bicycles. Xie Yan was no longer tired and was very excited. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be so excited about a bicycle, since he had seen all kinds of bicycles before.
But after living in this world for so long, it's like someone who's been locked up in a military camp for over a decade; once they come out, even a pig will seem handsome to them.
They arrived at just the right time; the bicycles were still in stock. With a wave of his hand, Gu Bin got a brand-new bicycle!
Xie Yan was a little envious. Look at him, this is the treatment a main character should receive! And he was just a background extra!
All we can do is watch the main character with envy!
In fact, Xie Yan also fantasized about being the protagonist when he was young. After all, with his kind of experience, he was destined to be a protagonist, no matter how high or low!
Later, reality slapped him in the face. He was truly an oddball; it seemed like he had never encountered anything good in his entire life.
Of course, I've never encountered anything bad either!
Life was very uneventful!
Even when he was in school, while other students were picking up money, he never found a single penny. In the end, he even lost two cents!
That was his entire week's allowance! And it was gone just like that!
The protagonists in other stories encounter a benefactor in their lives from time to time, but he never does. His life is just ordinary and uneventful, and he doesn't even have a beautiful childhood sweetheart!
As I grew older, I gradually realized that I wasn't destined to be a protagonist! And so I accepted reality!
Now he knows what the protagonist is like. Look at the guy in front of him, he's practically the male lead from a high-ranking official's novel! Absolutely!
Not only does he come from a wealthy family, but he is also capable. Even when he goes to the countryside, he can still make a name for himself and has even bought a bicycle!
Unlike him, who is happy to be able to eat something good, but worried about not having money!
Xie Yan is so sad! You mean, it's your second life, can't you arrange a better family background for yourself? Let him experience the joys of being a rich kid or a government official's child!
Oh! How could he be so miserable!
