0057 locomotive
Ever since she learned that Jiang Jifan had a motorcycle, Xiang Nannan has been clamoring to ride on it every few days.
Jiang Jifan simply found some free time to fulfill her wish.
She rarely carries passengers when she rides her bike, but luckily she bought an extra helmet, which came in handy now.
When Xiang Nannan arrived, Jiang Jifan glanced at her clothes and frowned almost imperceptibly.
I specifically told her last night to wear long sleeves and pants, but she wore shorts today.
Xiang Nannan noticed her gaze falling on her legs and suddenly realized, "Oh no! I forgot!"
She was so excited when she heard the news last night that she momentarily forgot her instructions and went out wearing shorts as usual.
"What should I do? Should I go back and change?" She looked like a child who had done something wrong, a little flustered, standing there staring wide-eyed at Jiang Jifan.
Jiang Jifan shook his head and said no, then took out the knee pads he was going to wear and squatted down to put them on her.
Xiang Nannan looked down at her as she put knee pads on him, feeling deeply flattered. She chuckled lightly and exclaimed, "Jifan, you're so good to me."
In fact, Jiang Jifan is also a very caring person. In her eyes, Xiang Nannan is like a flower that has been perfectly protected in a greenhouse, which makes people feel sorry for her.
"If you get hurt, people will blame me," Jiang Jifan said with a smile as he adjusted her knee brace, looking up at her.
After putting them on, he lifted his leg to look at the black knee pads on Nan Nan's knees, and said to her with a bright smile, "No, I believe in your driving skills!"
"Hold on tight," Jiang Jifan said to her as he got into the car.
Xiang Nannan leaned down and hugged her waist, raising one hand and shouting with a loud laugh, "Let's go!"
Jiang Jifan took her for a drive around City B. Just as they were about to head back, her phone rang. Since she was driving and it wasn't convenient to answer, she turned to Xiang Nannan behind her and said, "Nannan, can you check who's calling for me?"
"Okay." Xiang Nannan took her phone out of the pocket of her coat. "Hey, it's Brother Tai Qing calling."
The red light ahead turned green, and Jiang Jifan continued driving, casually saying, "You can pick me up."
"Hey, Tai Ching."
Tantai Qing paused upon hearing her voice, then realized what she meant, "Nannan, where's Jifan?"
It was a bit windy outside. Xiang Nannan brushed the strands of hair that were stuck to her mouth and said loudly, "She's driving, so it's inconvenient for her to answer the phone!"
"Ask him what he wants," Jiang Jifan said succinctly as he turned the handlebars.
Xiang Nannan held the phone to Jiang Jifan's ear, and he said, "I just finished a meeting with a client. Are you guys still outside? Let's go have dinner together later."
She said okay, and then Tantai Qing asked them what they wanted to eat.
"You decide. It's windy outside, so I can't hear you very well. We can talk about it when we meet later."
After hanging up the phone, Tantai Qing instructed Li Yan to drive the car to a newly opened restaurant nearby.
Nearly an hour later, they finally arrived.
Jiang Jifan went inside, took off his white motorcycle jacket and draped it over the chair next to him, explaining, "There was a bit of traffic on the way."
"I've been stuck in traffic for so long, my butt is numb from sitting!" Xiang Nannan muttered, frowning, and rubbed her stiff butt before sitting down.
Tantai Qing asked the waiter to serve the dishes, and then personally poured a cup of tea for the two of them.
"Which way did you come from?" He handed the tea to Jiang Jifan.
Jiang Jifan mentioned a street name.
Tantai Qingming nodded. "That road is very congested. Next time you can take the road to the museum."
Jiang Jifan said he understood, then smiled at Nan Nan: "How come we're both from City B, but you can't even find your way around?"
Xiang Nannan showed no shame on her face, crossed her arms and said confidently, "I don't usually drive. My mother said that it's a man's job to know the roads. I just need to sit in the back seat and enjoy myself."
"Does Song Yuchang know about this?"
Upon hearing her mention Song Yuchang, Xiang Nannan's face immediately darkened. "Don't mention him, he's a spoilsport."
Seeing that she looked unwell, Jiang Jifan quickly changed the subject as soon as the dishes were served, saying, "Let's not talk about it anymore, let's eat."
"I heard this has no bones, would you like to try it?" Tantai Qing picked up a piece of dry-pot mandarin fish with her chopsticks and put it in her bowl.
Jiang Jifan looked down into the bowl, hesitated for a moment, and then, feeling bad about disappointing him, carefully picked it up and took a small bite.
She didn't find any bones in her first bite, so she tried a second bite and found that the fish was indeed boneless, just as he had said, before she felt relieved and continued eating.
After Jiang Jifan finished eating the fish, he looked at him and smiled, saying, "This is the first time I've eaten fish in more than ten years."
Tantai Qing smiled calmly and asked, "How do you feel?"
She rested her chin on her hand holding the chopsticks, as if deep in thought, and after organizing her thoughts, said, "It just feels... kind of magical."
Jiang Jifan chuckled with relief, "It doesn't seem as scary as I imagined."
Tantai Qing picked up another piece of fish and put it into her bowl. "Then you can try a few more pieces. Maybe after this meal you won't be afraid to eat fish anymore."
"good."
After dinner, the Xiang family's driver came to pick up Xiang Nannan to go home. After she left, Tantai Qing offered, "Why don't you come back with me?"
Jiang Jifan remembered her motorcycle parked in front of the restaurant and hesitated, "What about my car?"
He said he would have someone help her drive it back.
She frowned immediately upon hearing this and refused with extreme resistance, saying, "No."
She didn't want anyone to touch her motorcycle; it was her precious possession.
"Alright," Tantai Qing said helplessly, not forcing her. He simply told Li Yan to drive slowly after getting in the car, wanting to drive alongside her.
"Miss Jiang is quite cool." On the way, Li Yan glanced at Jiang Jifan riding a motorcycle alongside their car and said with a smile.
It was also the first time Tantai Qing had seen her ride a bicycle, and he found it very novel. So, from the moment she got on the bike, his gaze remained fixed on her.
Black slim-fit trousers and a short white motorcycle jacket accentuated her curvaceous figure, making her look both dashing and beautiful.
While waiting at a traffic light, Jiang Jifan noticed that he was looking at him. He raised his hand, lifted the helmet visor, turned around, and smiled at him.
Just as I finished laughing, a traffic policeman suddenly walked over.
"Hello, routine vehicle check."
Upon seeing this, Jiang Jifan was about to get off the bus.
The young traffic policeman standing in front of the car saw her about to get out and raised his hand to stop her, smiling good-naturedly and saying, "You don't need to get out of the car, you can go after the inspection."
While the traffic police were checking her documents, she glanced back at Tantai Qing and saw him looking at her with a half-smile. Taking advantage of the traffic police's inattention, she playfully stuck out her tongue at him.
Tantai Qing stared intently at her, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"That's all." After checking her documents, the traffic policeman handed them to her and reminded her, "Be careful on the road."
"Okay, thank you." She took the documents and put them back in her bag.
After entering the underground parking garage of the residential complex, Tantai Qing got out of the car first, and only went upstairs together after she parked the car.
He even bought a parking space specifically so that she could have a place to park her car.
However, Jiang Jifan was unaware of this and believed his lie, thinking that the parking space was originally leftover after he bought too many. At first, she felt it was a bit wasteful, since her motorcycle took up such a large parking space.
Tantai Qing comforted her, saying, "It's not a waste. I was thinking of buying you a few more."
Since it's her hobby, he should support her.
Without a second thought, Jiang Jifan refused righteously, then teased, "I'm afraid I'll be reluctant to break up with you because of those motorcycles."
The consequence of her saying that was that he later pulled her into his arms and kissed her until she couldn't breathe.
