Huo Jibai's thin lips curved slightly. "Sit tight." He then stepped on the accelerator.
Shuxin couldn't help but hug Huo Jibai tighter. "I asked you to drive slower, not faster." Shuxin's words drifted out of the helmet. Her voice was muffled and the wind was blowing, so he couldn't hear her clearly.
"What did you say?"
Shuxin moved her head closer to Huo Jibai's shoulder and raised her voice. "Drive slower."
"I won't."
"What won't you say?"
"I won't drive slower."
Shuxin was speechless.
About 20 minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of the Huo Corporation. Shuxin got off the motorcycle and felt as though she was floating. She took off her helmet and stuffed it into Huo Jibai's hands. Then she walked inside without looking back.
"Wait a minute." Huo Jibai stopped her.
Shuxin turned around angrily. "What?"
Huo Jibai hung his helmet on the handlebar and got off the motorcycle. He wasn't wearing a helmet and his hair was blown back by the wind. His fringe was messy on both sides of his forehead. Coupled with his playboy nature, he exuded a carefree and uninhibited aura.
Huo Jibai walked up to Shuxin and asked with a frown. "Are you really my Fifth Uncle's girlfriend?"
Shuxin still sounded unfriendly. "What does that have to do with you?"
Huo Jibai glanced at Shuxin for a moment and then looked away. "It doesn't matter."
"Then why are you asking?"
Huo Jibai raised his eyebrows slightly. "You smell like gunpowder. Did I offend you?"
How could he not offend her when he drove so fast? If she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have taken his ride. Her heart was still in a mess.
Shuxin couldn't be bothered to argue with him. "If there's nothing, I'm leaving."
Huo Jibai was silent for two seconds and then asked, "What do you like about my Fifth Uncle?"
"Do you like that he's handsome, rich, and powerful?"
Huo Jibai stared blankly at Shuxin for a moment. "Shallow." Then, he turned around and got on the motorcycle, buckled his helmet, stepped on the gas, and disappeared from Shuxin's sight in the blink of an eye.
Shuxin pursed her lips and turned around to walk inside. She was superficial. What did it have to do with him?
After taking a few steps, Shuxin stopped. Something was wrong. Didn't he say that he was looking for Uncle Wu? Why didn't he come in? Was he so angry that he forgot what he wanted to do?
…
Shuxin had originally planned to ask Song Li to help transfer the necktie to Huo Yanqing. However, after Huo Yanqing treated the kiss that night at the Didi KTV as a game, Shuxin consciously began to avoid him.
Since he didn't like her, she had to stop herself from thinking about him. Just like what her father said, she couldn't be trapped in a trap of her own making. However, as long as she saw him, her heart would be moved and she wouldn't be able to control her feelings. Therefore, she could only avoid him.
However, Song Li rejected her with a smile. He said, "When a woman gives a man a necktie, it means that she wants to trap him, so Miss Shu should give it to him yourself."
Shuxin blushed and didn't know what to do. In the end, she took the gift box and ran away.
Then, she called Tong Qiao and scolded her.
She even regretted that she didn't give the gift and said that she missed the opportunity to confess.
At night, Shuxin returned to the Shu family's house. There would be a 3.9 magnitude earthquake tomorrow. Although it wasn't serious, it was better to let her father and grandmother know in advance so that they wouldn't panic.
At the Shu family's dining table, Shuxin said the speech that she had prepared in advance. "I have a classmate whose mother works at the weather bureau. She heard that there will be an earthquake in Fan City tomorrow …"
"Ah? Earthquake? "Cao Guifang's expression instantly became a little flustered." What should we do? Will the house collapse? Also, will the ground crack? Where should we hide? "
"Grandma, don't panic. I heard from my classmate that the earthquake wasn't predicted to be big. In order not to cause panic, the house won't collapse, and the ground won't crack. At most, there will be cracks on the wooden walls or window frames of the old houses, and the hanging things will shake. Everything else will be fine."
