Yesterday, Su Xi took a taxi back from the hospital, but the phone repair shop wasn’t far from her home, so today she brought her bicycle over.
Her original intention was to see if she could carry Lu Huan, but she never expected that after Lu Huan sat on the back seat, she couldn’t push him at all, let alone ride— this once again left Su Xi a little confused.
She glanced at the handsome young man with bright eyes and white teeth behind her and noticed that Lu Huan was sitting in the back seat with his long legs curled up in a very awkward way so as not to drag on the ground.
Why is he so tall?! This is completely different from what she imagined!
Lu Huan deliberately waited until Su Xi fully realized that “he was a man who was both literate and martial and was about to come of age, not a little dumpling who only reached her knees” before pretending to be completely unaware of Su Xi’s annoyance. He then smiled slightly, stood up, and said, “I’ll do it, Xiao Xi, you sit in the back.”
Su Xi scratched her head, somewhat distrustfully handed the bicycle handlebars to him, walked to the back seat, and nagged, “Be careful, you’ve never ridden one before—”
Before she could finish speaking, Lu Huan stopped the bicycle on the spot, then grabbed her waist and easily put her, who weighed over 90 pounds, onto the back seat of the bicycle. Then, he got on the bicycle and rode with her for two blocks.
Su Xi’s last sentence dissipated into the air: “…be careful not to lose your grip on the handle.”
Sitting in the back seat, Su Xi was completely disoriented and unconsciously grabbed Lu Huan’s clothes at the waist— why was he so skilled at it? This was completely different from what she had imagined!
Lu Huan’s voice came over and said, “Riding a horse is roughly the same as this, but people with long legs are probably better at controlling it.”
Su Xi silently looked down at his legs, then at her own, and finally reluctantly crossed out the image of the little dumpling bouncing around on the screen with its two short legs in her mind, replacing it with the image of the boy’s long legs.
Even while riding bicycles, the two attracted a lot of attention on the non-motorized vehicle lane. People passing by couldn’t help but look at Lu Huan, and only after the bicycles had passed did they realize they had forgotten their amazed gazes.
Su Xi looked at the girls all over the street and felt a little depressed. Why were so many people staring at the little boy even though he had already changed out of his princely robes and into ordinary short-sleeved shirts and trousers? It must be because his waterfall of hair was too long.
Su Xi rummaged through her bag and pulled out two hats. She put the white one on her head with her hand behind her back, then leaned slightly closer to Lu Huan’s back and pressed the black baseball cap on his head.
“Wear this, it’s for sun protection.” Su Xi wouldn’t admit that she had ulterior motives.
Lu Huan was quite happy. While waiting at the red light, he glanced back at the hat on her head, then took off his own hat and looked at it repeatedly for a while before enthusiastically putting it back on.
If he remembered correctly, these two hats, one black and one white, should be called “couple hats” in her world.
Su Xi had no idea what he was so happy about; she only saw his bright eyes and radiant spirit… If she knew what her little rascal was thinking, she would definitely be speechless: one was a fisherman’s hat and the other a baseball cap, what a joke of matching hats, little rascal!
….
After retrieving her phone, Su Xi finally understood why Lu Huan had transmigrated. Although the old phone had been damaged by water and the motherboard was ruined, the repairman had diligently transferred all the data into the new phone before it was completely destroyed.
Therefore, upon turning on the new phone, a game icon was surprisingly found. After opening the game, the screen displayed a system notification that the user had reached 200 points and was about to unlock a large gift pack.
She had been worried for seven whole days! She was afraid that the game would disappear from her phone forever. Now that she saw it restored on her new phone, Su Xi was so excited that she almost wanted to give the repairman a few hundred more yuan.
“After you transmigrated here, you went straight to my house, so if you want to go back, you can only go back from my house.” Su Xi analyzed, pulling Lu Huan back, and said, “So we should go back to my house now and figure out the transmigration mechanism.”
“Today?” Lu Huan was taken aback.
He frowned.
His transmigration was somewhat accidental. Currently, the system’s information regarding the 200 points didn’t reveal whether the gift pack could be used once or multiple times— what if he went back this time but could never return?
…Isn’t Xiao Xi worried about this? Why is she in such a hurry to urge him to go back today?
Lu Huan glanced at Su Xi. Su Xi also felt a strange sense of unease. No one knew how long this time travel period would last. What if this attempt sent the cub back and he could never come back? But even with this worry, she couldn’t bring herself to say something like, “Why don’t you stay?” So she had no choice but to bite the bullet and urge Lu Huan, “Quick, before my parents come home, let’s go back and try to send you back.”
“Hmm.” Lu Huan got on his bicycle, his expression completely different from the smile on his lips when he arrived. He pursed his lips and remained silent.
Lu Huan was actually somewhat reluctant to go back.
However, he also knew that this world was not his final destination, and he had no identity or credentials in this world. Besides, there were still a lot of things to deal with after the flood in Chengzhou. The rivers and seas were not yet clear, and although the government was not as leaky as a sieve, there were countless corrupt officials in the six ministries.
General Zhenyuan and others had high hopes for him. Since the victory in the northern border, the Yan Kingdom had finally made some progress. If he were to leave and never return, there would be no one else to do many things.
If he stayed in this peaceful dynasty for his own selfish reasons, he would be letting down the people of Yan.
….
After parking the bicycle downstairs of the apartment building, Lu Huan opened the door and walked into the elevator with Su Xi.
They had been happy all day, but when the topic of parting came up, they both fell silent.
After confirming that no one was home, Su Xi took out her keys and led Lu Huan inside.
He had seen her house through the screen countless times before, but standing in this house with her today gave him a completely different feeling.
Home.
Lu Huan’s heartstrings were slightly tugged.
Upon arriving at Su Xi’s room, the two sat down side by side on the bed.
Su Xi opened her phone screen and switched the interface to the house in Chengzhou before Lu Huan transmigrated. There were many little figures running around outside. The Ninth Prince had suddenly disappeared, and the local officials in Chengzhou were afraid that something had happened, so they dared not report it for the time being and secretly sent more people to search for him. As a result, there was chaos outside.
Su Xi bit her lip, glanced at Lu Huan who was silent beside her, and asked, “Have you decided to go back?”
“Yes.” Lu Huan raised his eyes, as if making a promise, and said to her, “But I will find a way to come back. If there is a way to have the best of both worlds and be able to travel freely between the two sides, that would be the best.”
Seeing his promise, Su Xi felt somewhat relieved and smiled, “Come back? You misspoke, it should be ‘go back,’ your residence is over there…”
Lu Huan looked at her and said in a low voice, “The mansion is just a place to live. As far as I am concerned, I have no other relatives. You are my only relative.”
Su Xi’s breath hitched. Hearing his words, her heart trembled, and she didn’t know what to say.
….
Just then, the front door bell suddenly rang, and Su parents’ loud voices came from afar: “Xi Xi, you’re home already? Why are there boys’ sneakers at the door— Huo Jingchuan came to our house?”
Su Xi suddenly jumped up in fright, as if she was about to be caught red-handed, and hurriedly pushed Lu Huan under the table: “We’re doomed, my parents are back, if they see you, we’re finished!”
Lu Huan, looking utterly dishevelled, hid under the table, his tall frame curled up in a pitiful ball, saying, “I can’t go out in front of your parents—”
“No!” Su Xi said firmly, her face flushed and her heart pounding as she took off her coat and covered her legs, trying her best to block Lu Huan.
The author has something to say:
Su Xi: It’s not time to meet my parents yet!
Lu Huan: Thinking about this carefully, how come it makes people feel a little happy?
