Su Weiyi’s face flushed in an instant. She of course understood what Sheng Yanxiao meant. When it came to puppy love, who could compete with them? She couldn’t even say clearly when exactly she’d started liking the man in front of her; obviously, she’d definitely been younger than Zhou Chengchen is now.
For them to try to管 her now, you could only say it really proved that old saying true: "If the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked."
Su Weiyi was a bit embarrassed. She turned her gaze away and muttered, "So we’re just not going to管 her?"
Just as she said that, she suddenly saw that the crowd who had gathered to watch the excitement over there had already dispersed; turned out the protagonists were nowhere to be found.
Su Weiyi grew a little anxious. It wasn’t that she thought being in love was a bad thing; it’s just that doing the right thing at the wrong time didn’t necessarily make it a good thing. Once May was over, it would be June, and Zhou Chengchen was about to take the college entrance exam.
She tugged again at Sheng Yanxiao’s sleeve. "Let’s give Cheng Chen a call, at least so she doesn’t go too overboard."
Sheng Yanxiao laughed and held her hand. "Don’t worry, Cheng Chen’s got a brain."
Su Weiyi thought about it and felt that was true. Although Zhou Chengchen looked extremely unruly and not the least bit obedient, when she really thought about it, the girl had never actually done anything truly out of line.
That girl had been sharp and clever since she was little. She always knew exactly what she was doing.
Su Weiyi didn’t dwell on it anymore. After walking such a big loop, she had almost finished digesting, and the two of them headed toward where they’d parked.
To make herself look more formal, Su Weiyi had very rarely put on a pair of high heels today. The sky was dim, and as she walked, she didn’t notice the small step ahead of her. Her foot slipped, and she stumbled.
Sheng Yanxiao reacted quickly and caught her. Su Weiyi swayed but found her balance, and in the next second she felt someone’s hand close around her ankle.
"Twisted it? Does it hurt?"
Su Weiyi moved her foot a little. She had definitely twisted it, but it wasn’t a big deal; she was sure she wasn’t hurt. She was just about to say something when she suddenly saw Sheng Yanxiao step in front of her and then bend slightly at the waist. "Get on."
Su Weiyi’s cheeks turned slightly red. She lowered her voice. "It’s fine, I didn’t twist it badly. I can walk."
"Get on."
Sheng Yanxiao repeated, bending even lower. Su Weiyi pressed her lips together, then reached out and looped her arms around his neck. With a slight effort, Sheng Yanxiao lifted her and settled her securely onto his back.
The pedestrian street always seemed to be the go-to dating spot for young men and women after work. Along the way you could see plenty of people walking arm in arm or hand in hand. They all looked very affectionate, but couples like them, with one carrying the other on their back, were still rare.
Su Weiyi vaguely heard a girl whisper, "Wow, that’s so romantic..."
Her cheeks grew even redder, and she buried her face against Sheng Yanxiao’s back. He was no longer as thin as he’d been at sixteen; now he gave her an unparalleled sense of security.
She was light, and it was easy for Sheng Yanxiao to carry her. Su Weiyi pressed her ear against his back and felt as if she could still hear the strong beat of his heart.
She wanted to stay like this with him for a lifetime, and they really could spend their whole lives just like this...
They passed through the crowded pedestrian street and then along a quiet, soundless alley. When they reached the parking space, only then did Sheng Yanxiao put Su Weiyi down.
He had carried her the whole way, yet his face was still calm and his breathing steady. He opened the door and they got in the car. When they returned to the apartment, they showered and curled up together on the sofa before finally getting to the serious topic.
Since Sheng Yanxiao had agreed to prepare to take over Shengshi Group, it also meant that he would be leaving soon. Su Weiyi rested against his legs, tilting her head back to look up at him. "Has the time been set?"
