Chapter 678 - 677: Can You Ride an Electric Scooter?
"Cut it out, weren’t you about to leave? You must have forgotten." Shen Yan pouted like a little girl and said, "Don’t think about leaving; you have to do what you promised me."
Chen Tianlong felt there was ambiguity in this statement. If he had promised something to Shen Yan, it would be to be her boyfriend and to settle their bet.
"Alright, let’s get going then."
Chen Tianlong agreed generously. How could he refuse a rare dinner outing with Shen Yan? Since the start of school, she was someone he could never resist, and now he finally had the chance to walk alongside her again. Whether it was good or bad, Chen Tianlong decided to just let things go with the flow.
After walking for a while, Shen Yan suddenly asked, "Chen Tianlong, can you ride an electric scooter?"
"Oh, of course I can. I can ride electric scooters, motorcycles, and drive cars." Chen Tianlong was an assassin, and there’s no way an assassin wouldn’t know how to handle those.
"Wow, Chen Tianlong, you’re really impressive!"
Only now did Shen Yan realize how exceptional Chen Tianlong was. Not only was he skilled in martial arts, but he also had a variety of talents. Truly a talented individual.
Shen Yan was particularly fond of this type of guy, capable and clever. Although Chen Tianlong was her student, they were about the same age, and he was her idol too.
So Shen Yan had great expectations for him.
After all, she was still young, and her appearance was almost the same age as Chen Tianlong’s, and the key was that she was very confident.
"Of course, I’m the heartthrob of countless girls, a super invincible handsome young man." Chen Tianlong said shamelessly.
"Pfft..."
Shen Yan couldn’t help but burst into laughter. This Chen Tianlong was really narcissistic, praising himself like that, but she secretly liked Chen Tianlong. No matter how goofy or self-absorbed he was, he made her happy.
"By the way, teacher, why did you ask me that?" Chen Tianlong suddenly realized, since Shen Yan asked him if he could ride an electric scooter, there must be something going on.
"Hehe, I won’t tell you, you’ll find out in a bit." Shen Yan smiled mysteriously without revealing the reason, keeping a sense of mystery for Chen Tianlong.
Chen Tianlong was speechless. Women just love saying things like "guess what" or "I won’t tell you," and he was getting used to interacting with more and more women, each with different personalities and occupations.
There were kind and gentle campus beauties, wealthy and slightly arrogant heiresses, quirky heiress’s best friends, stunning and straightforward female police officers, and the youngest senior female executive...
Not long after, the two of them arrived at a parking shed. Shen Yan pointed ahead and said, "Chen Tianlong, here’s the key. The electric scooter over there is mine. Go and bring it out."
Chen Tianlong was stunned, following Shen Yan’s gaze, and saw a shiny black electric scooter wedged between a row of bikes. Judging by the situation, it would take Shen Yan at least ten minutes to maneuver it out.
So Chen Tianlong took a look and walked straight over. There was an aisle in the middle, with two rows of bikes neatly arranged on either side.
Shen Yan looked at the scene with a wry smile. After all, letting Chen Tianlong get the scooter out seemed a bit difficult. She watched as Chen Tianlong approached, checked the distance between the aisle and the row of bikes, and seemed to have thought of a solution.
After unlocking it, Chen Tianlong inserted the key and turned it to the left to start the scooter. Seeing that the bikes on both sides were a bit in the way, he got off and adjusted their positions.
Shen Yan wasn’t sure what he was doing as she watched him busying himself. She initially wanted to help Chen Tianlong maneuver it out slowly, but as she entered the aisle, she suddenly saw Chen Tianlong starting the scooter.
"Squeak..."
A sharp sound almost made Shen Yan jump, so she quickly looked up to see Chen Tianlong had already turned the scooter around and was quickly heading her way.
"Huh? Chen Tianlong, how did you get it out so fast?" Shen Yan was puzzled. She only looked away for three seconds, and Chen Tianlong had already brought the scooter out.
"It’s nothing. I just gave it a little lift, and it was out!"
Chen Tianlong couldn’t say he did something too heaven-defying, fearing that he might scare Shen Yan. In truth, the reality was quite astonishing. Chen Tianlong had used his incredible strength to lift the front of the scooter, then performed a Divine Dragon Turn to get it out of the aisle.
"Alright then, quickly bring it out." Shen Yan said as she stepped back a little.
Chen Tianlong smiled and rode the scooter out, stopping outside the parking shed in no time. At that moment, Chen Tianlong braked abruptly and stopped the scooter in front of Shen Yan, acting all gentlemanly and said, "M’lady, get on board!"
"Hehe, alright."
Chen Tianlong addressed her so graciously, she wasn’t going to be modest. After all, she was indeed a beauty, living up to that title. She hitched up her skirt and confidently sat sideways on the scooter.
This position required her to hug the rider from behind. Initially, Shen Yan felt a bit shy and was embarrassed to hug him. Chen Tianlong noticed her hesitation, so he deliberately called out, "Mengyan, hold on tight, or else don’t blame me if you fall later."
"Oh."
Shen Yan answered softly and then wrapped her arms around Chen Tianlong’s waist.
Chen Tianlong was taken aback, feeling warm arms wrapped around him. He immediately reacted; after all, being this close to a beautiful girl, not having any reaction wouldn’t be manly.
As Shen Yan hugged him, she suddenly felt something unusual under her arms and curiously asked, "Chen Tianlong, what’s that?"
Hearing Shen Yan’s question, Chen Tianlong glanced down and saw Shen Yan’s small hand resting below his lower abdomen. His face flushed red, and he awkwardly replied, "Ahem... that’s, um, that’s the belt buckle, yes, the belt buckle."
"A belt buckle? You’re wearing a belt with sweatpants?"
Shen Yan chuckled; this Chen Tianlong was quite peculiar, wearing a belt with sweatpants, which was rather surprising.
"Ahem, I like to wear a belt with my sweatpants." Chen Tianlong could only go along with it; otherwise, this fib would be hard to maintain.
Shen Yan smiled silently. She didn’t mind whether Chen Tianlong had such habits. As the saying goes, love me, love my dog; since he liked it this way, Shen Yan had no reason to dislike it, so she said, "Wow, then I’ll try wearing them like that sometimes. It seems fun, right?"
"Oh..."
Chen Tianlong was speechless. Was Shen Yan a teacher or a little girl, always thinking about having fun, not looking like an adult at all?
As Chen Tianlong drove the scooter out of campus, passing by the security office, the elderly guard took a look at Chen Tianlong and Shen Yan on the scooter. They seemed familiar but couldn’t quite recall who they were.
Shen Yan was startled and quickly leaned her head against Chen Tianlong’s back to avoid being seen by the guard. Otherwise, there might be news the next day.
"Teacher, where are we going to eat?" Chen Tianlong suddenly remembered they were going out for dinner, so they should pick a place.
"I don’t know either, and Chen Tianlong, you can call me teacher at school, but outside, you can treat me like a friend and call me Mengyan instead."
Shen Yan felt uneasy hearing Chen Tianlong call her teacher, as if it constantly reminded her of their relationship.
If Shen Yan had no feelings for Chen Tianlong, only regard him as a student, she wouldn’t feel uncomfortable. But she secretly harbored different feelings for Chen Tianlong, and that was affection.
