Chapter 62 (3)
Before Lu Sicheng finished talking, Tong Yao bent down to carry all the heavy bags that Lu Sicheng was carrying before. What was left next to Lu Sicheng’s foot was a bag about 7 or 8 pounds.
Lu Sicheng: “……”
Tong Yao: “You have wrist injuries. Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
Lu Sicheng: “What’s there to say. The car is right over there……Put all those bags down first.”
Tong Yao: “No way.”
Tong Yao: “I even carried those liquid natural gas cylinders for my mom when I was home.”
Tong Yao: “I’m not that pampered. Why didn’t you say earlier that you’ve hurt your hands? Why don’t you wait for me here? I’ll put these bags onto the car then come back to get you– –Give me your car key.”
“……It’s just a strain. I’m not crippled.” Lu Sicheng frustratedly said and bent over to pick up the one bag on the ground and walked a step forward: “Give me.”
Tong Yao backed away one big step and widened her eyes, staring at him.
Lu Sicheng tsked and knew that if he would step forward, Tong Yao would probably dash to the car. He took a glance at the car and figured it wasn’t parked too far away. Finally, with Tong Yao’s insistence, he sighed: “Let’s go.”
Tong Yao lifted the bags of crayfish, weighing about 27 or 28 pounds, and led the way, walking at a brisk pace..
After they had put the bags in the back seat of the car, Tong Yao sat down on the passenger seat, pulling on the seatbelt. Lu Sicheng also opened the car door to get in the driver’s seat. He paused for a moment then suddenly said: “It’s something new.”
“What?” Tong Yao asked without looking at him.
“This is the first time I’ve been taken care of by a little girl.”
“Oh.” Tong Yao fastened the seatbelt with a click, then raised her head: “But I’m not a little girl.”
Lu Sicheng didn’t reply, but just smiled. He raised his hand to rub her hair: “Thanks.”
Suddenly, it became very quiet inside the car.
Tong Yao slightly widened her eyes and blankly stared at the man in the driver seat. After he had started the car and drove the car slowly out of the parking lot, she was still looking at him. A long time after, she suddenly called out to him: “Cheng Ge.”
“En?” Lu Sicheng answered while driving.
The honking outside the car covered the sound of her pounding heart. The beams from oncoming cars shone on half her face. She lowered her eyes to look at the fingers with distinctive joints on the steering wheel. Those joints looked quite sexy.
“What is it?”
“I……Ah, you should make reasonable arrangements for your training hours. Don’t aggravate your injuries.”
“Every month the team will arrange for a physical therapist to come and gives massages. You don’t know about it because you missed the date last month when you joined the team.”
“Oh.”
Tong Yao nodded and relaxed her tightened shoulders. But the hesitation and puzzlement were still showing on her face……She took a deep breath, she could even hear her own breathing.
“Cheng Ge……”
“En.”
“I seem to– –”
Tong Yao hesitated.
“Do you want to listen to some songs?”
Lu Sicheng interrupted her. From the corner of his eye, he could see Tong Yao blink, then just pop like an overinflated balloon, she lowered her head and her shoulders dropped all of a sudden……
Lu Sicheng cast his eyes down, the long and thick eyelashes covered the emotions in his eyes. He reached out and patted her head once again, then quietly and slowly said: “No rush.”
Whatever you wish to have, you’ll have them.
