The bicycle ride through the city felt strangely peaceful.
The afternoon wind brushed softly against Zi Han's hair as Ming Ye pedaled lazily down the streets, entirely unconcerned about the revision classes they were currently missing. The sunlight spilled warmly across the roads, reflecting against glass buildings and passing cars, while the city around them buzzed with ordinary life.
Zi Han sat behind him quietly, one hand lightly gripping the back of his shirt so she wouldn't lose balance.
Honestly, she still couldn't believe this was happening.
They had skipped school.
Not only school.
Revision class.
Two weeks before the college entrance examination.
And all because Ming Ye suddenly decided to drag her over a wall like some delinquent boyfriend in a romance drama.
The thought alone made her sigh internally.
"Ming Ye," she finally said, "if your grades drop, don't blame me later."
Ming Ye laughed softly without turning back. "Impossible."
