Hera smiled and said to Zhao Rui, who nodded and led Hera away from the hospital.
Upon reaching the hospital entrance, Zhao Rui skillfully mounted his old bicycle, with Hera sitting behind him.
"Hold on tight, let's go—"
With a powerful pedal stroke, the old bicycle rattled along, heading towards the distance.
As soon as they rode out of the hospital, a black dog ran after them.
"Hey! Little Blackie, don't chase us!"
Seeing the black dog running towards them from behind, Zhao Rui quickened his pedaling speed.
This dog's name is Xiao Hei. It's a stray dog that Hera and Zhao Rui raised together. It usually likes to chase after them like this.
But he was clearly more excited today, and in the blink of an eye, he was about to catch up with the two of them.
Zhao Rui pushed the bicycle to its limit with all his might, and the whole bike began to sway slightly due to the excessive speed.
The swaying of the car made Hera sway precariously. In a panic, she reached out and grabbed the boy in front of her.
Zhao Rui froze instantly, his face, which was turned away from Hera, turning as red as an apple.
Hera realized her lapse in composure and quickly withdrew her hand, blushing.
The bicycle gradually slowed down, and the little black bike behind it seemed tired too, quietly following behind.
Under the sunlight, two bewildered young people pedaled their bicycles, their faces flushed.
"Well, I'm going to paint today, you... just take me to that tree."
Hera buried half her face under the easel and said shyly.
Zhao Rui nodded slightly and drove onto a grassland.
squeak--
The old bicycle slowly came to a stop, and Hera and the other person got off at the same time.
"Thank you for bringing me this far. I'll be going now..."
Hera smiled sweetly, carrying a pile of painting supplies, and slowly turned towards the lawn covered with a layer of golden yellow.
The orange-yellow sunlight shone through Hera's white hair, her pure figure complementing the sunset, making her seem like an angel fallen to earth, which captivated Zhao Rui.
Without realizing it, he reached out and grabbed Hera's wrist, pulling her back.
Hera paused, and a blush rose on her face again.
She turned around and looked at the bewildered boy in front of her, whose face was also flushed.
Xiao Hei sat between the two, sticking out its tongue as it observed them.
"You... are you being so nice to me because I'm good-looking and you like me?"
After a moment of eye contact, Hera suddenly asked.
Zhao Rui was taken aback, then quickly waved his hand in realization.
"No, no, that's not why I helped you!"
Hera touched her wrist, which he had just gripped, then lowered her head and turned to walk away.
"Hey, Hera, let me explain..." Zhao Rui reached out to explain.
But Hera did not stop and continued walking towards the big tree.
He slowly lowered his hand, his body slumped, and let out a heavy sigh.
Then he shouted at Hera, "I'm going to buy you groceries! Call me when you're back!"
Hera paused, then reached out and waved at him.
Zhao Rui smiled slightly, got on his bicycle, and rode towards the nearby supermarket.
Little Black followed Hera and walked towards the grove of trees.
A gentle breeze swept across the lawn, leaving its shape in the wind.
The girl sitting by the tree, drawing, had her hair slightly blown by the wind. She tucked the stray hairs behind her ears.
Hera thought of her mother, whose condition was slowly improving, and then of the boy who had stirred strange feelings in her.
A smile slowly crept onto his lips.
But at the same time, whether it was because of some shyness or something else, her hands trembled slightly, and she couldn't even hold the paintbrush steady.
Suddenly, she noticed that Xiao Hei was slowly walking towards her.
Hera smiled slightly, her face as beautiful as an angel's.
She slowly extended her hand...
