Chapter 445 - I Will Stay Back With My Sweetheart.
"Did you enjoy the ride, Mr Beelzebub?" Li Xue asked with some enthusiasm in her voice, after crossing some distance on the highway. Riding the bike after so long, she was feeling like she has once again become the free bird of the sky who has always loved to fly.
The man sitting behind did not say anything. He simply affirmed his satisfaction through the minimal voice, "Mhm – Hmmm!"
"Just a 'mhm-hmm'! Mr Beelzebub, I gave you such a magical ride and you still have only that to say?" Li Xue said taking a pause and then added demandingly, "I am not satisfied. Definitely not satisfied! Please praise me, my dear. Was I not great earlier?"
Feng Shufen's expression got shrouded with dark thundercloud. Although he already knew that to win the race, she would speed up the bike, he still had never thought that it would be like this. He was not tachophobic, but he was sure that with this woman around doing such stunts, he would soon become a thantophobic. He feared that if he was not around, she would stir up something big.
Pinching the skin between his brows lightly, he said, "Mmm, you were the best!" There is no way he could ever deny giving her something that she asks for. Even if his praise encourages her to set the whole world on fire, he would not stop her from doing so rather would find ways to prove her actions innocent.
Behind the helmet, Li Xue's lips curled up in satisfaction. No matter who praises her with how many words, her heartbeat will only escalate when it was this man singing her fine words. His praises had the charms that could melt her heart, regardless of the situation and the people around!
"Really? You really liked my skills on the bike. Then I will often take you for late-night bike rides after today. It will be fun" She said zealously.
Though his expressions were frigid, Shufen could still only nod to her words. "Hmm~ Make sure to always take me along when you want to ride the bike".
Li Xue nodded in confirmation.
Soon they reach the destination they were aiming for the day. Pulling the brake to the bike, she asked tuning over her shoulder, "Mr Beelzebub, are you sure that Yi Lan has come here? We are already at Jíxiáng River bank and except for a few lightings, all around is just darkness."
Feng Shufen also looked around. He knew that Yi Lan had always had a fear of darkness but he also knew that when his sister wanted to hide for true, then she would search for the spots where no one would be able to search her. "Mhm – hmm!" he confirmed.
Though it had been tough to search for her, Gao Fan has still done his best to get her location. Earlier Yi Lan had taken a private cab to come here and from all that time she had been here sitting alone.
Li Xue also nodded in agreement. "Oh okay! Let's go then" she said and the couple was about to take a step forward when suddenly Shufen's phone in the pocket rang.
Their steps paused as the man pulled out the phone to check who was there. His eyes got rooted to the screen when saw it was no other but Yi Lan calling. Giving some moment to the call, he finally moved the icon to connect the call on a loudspeaker.
"Hnn!" The man let his presence know on the call and Li Xue could only feel her mouth going agape.
Was this the way to answer the call especially when there is your upset younger sister on the other side? Don't people always send some formal sort of greeting when they receive the call? And with her, the man has never done something of this sort? Was the difference between her and the others so big?
"Brother! Are you busy?" Feng Yi Lan said from the other side. Her voice seemed normal; she was trying hard to maintain it that way.
"Yes!" Feng Shufen replied, getting out of habit. Li Xue instantly pursed her lips but she also knew well that this brother-sister duo always had a unique style of relationship.
"Oh, I should not disturb you then. Your work is important. I was just calling to tease your nerves but since you have been so blatantly truthful to me, I can only be happy for it. After all, seeing people truthful and honest around you is always good". Feng Yi Lan completed her words with a light chuckle that clearly felt like a self – mockery.
Feng Shufen frowned at her words. This girl has still not learnt to hide her real feelings inside. When will she grow?
"Then I will call you later brother. Enjoy your work alone then!" she said and was about to disconnect the call when the man asked, halting her on the conversation.
"Where are you?"
"Me? When can I be? I am not as busy as my great Brother, so I am just chilling out with some friends. If you have invested some of your time in your sister then you would have known that your little sister has got a good circle of friends to hang around with. So instead of making my life as a boring sailing ship, I am making it an adventurous roller coaster ride". She replied nonchalantly.
Feng Shufen did not retort for a while but then said, "I never knew the ride of a roller coaster had ever been this peaceful".
"Huh? What are you telling? I just came out to have a call with you, or back inside, they were so yelling in the excitement that you would never have put forward any doubt in my words. Now, if you had enough of twisting my nerves then allow me to go back to my fun zone. I was at least enjoying my time there" She said and at once disconnected the call, thinking that if not made it quick then maybe her shattered self would be out in front of her brother.
On the other side, Feng Shufen looked at the distance. He has already spotted the woman sitting there. "She is there. Let's go!".
"Huh? I am not going anywhere. In no way I would leave my baby behind alone. Go back yourself, While I stay back with my sweetheart".
The man looked back at her in confusion only to find her caressing the bike all lovingly.
