Chapter 306: Chapter 306: 210: Elope? Before Sunset, Naive, Take Her to See the World's Prosperity_2

The moment the motorcycle slowly started up, she was immediately captivated by this novel experience, almost instinctively hugging tight, her whole body pressed against Xu Qingyan’s back.

A warm feeling flowed through her limbs, and her heartbeat began to slowly accelerate.

The bike was soundproofed, and Xu Qingyan wasn’t going fast, so on the road, it didn’t stand out too much. However, two riders did stop at a traffic light and glanced over at him a few times.

The moment the green light flashed, the two motorcycles shot out like arrows off a bowstring, with a thunderous roar.

Xu Qingyan didn’t pay them any attention, he just leisurely pulled away as if he were riding an electric scooter. Gradually picking up speed, he always kept it to a safe pace, staying clear of other vehicles.

He felt he could be a model motorcycle driver, so rule-abiding he was.

As the ride went on and they left the suburbs behind, the traffic thinned, and ahead lay a straight highway with a golden sunset spilling across both sides.

The wind was blowing back, and Lin Wanzhou clutched Xu Qingyan’s waist tightly, her eyes wide open.

Such an experience, once in a lifetime would suffice.

All the hubbub had left her in that moment, and the road ahead seemed to stretch on without end. The golden sunset flowed through the clouds, indiscernible from night and day.

All she could do was hold onto Xu Qingyan, tightly, as if he were the only bridge to the real world.

The two of them were like elopers, facing the sunset as they ran away.

Xu Qingyan didn’t linger too long, when he guessed it was getting dark, he turned around and hurried back. The return trip was a bit faster, but still within a safe speed.

After returning the bike, Xu Qingyan rushed to take Lin Wanzhou out to dinner.

Eight o’clock, not too late.

“What’s the matter? Was I riding too fast just now?” Xu Qingyan turned back and asked her softly; in reality, it couldn’t have been too fast, he didn’t dare push it when it was dark.

“No, it’s just… nothing.” She shook her head, “Not fast, you were just overtaken by a middle school student’s bicycle at the intersection.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Qingyan looked down at his wrist that she was holding onto tightly.

Ever since they dismounted, she had let go of his waist, but continued to cling to his wrist. At the time, he was quite self-reproachful, thinking Lin Wanzhou wasn’t feeling comfortable.

But now, it seemed that wasn’t the case.

“Just now, it felt like… like we were eloping.” Lin Wanzhou walked beside him, one hand gripping him tightly, suddenly voicing such a thought.

“Elope?” Xu Qingyan, who had just booked a small eatery due to the crowds of the National Day holiday, looked back, asking, “Where do you want to go?”

She thought for a moment, then shook her head, “I don’t know, I just don’t want to be alone, anywhere is fine.”

“Then how about striving to be the queen of pop? A queen adored by millions.” Xu Qingyan helped Lin Wanzhou cross the street, placing a mask on her, suddenly realizing how small her face was.

Her eyes were like pure black gems, dark as ink, making her exceedingly beautiful.

“Do you want me to be the queen of pop?” Lin Wanzhou looked up, her eyes on him, her pupils reflecting his face, “I like it, I will go for it.”

His simple words left Xu Qingyan stunned for a few seconds.

“I hope you become the queen of pop on your own, receiving the attention of millions, not for any other reason. More than that, I hope you’re happy.”

Upon hearing that, Lin Wanzhou nodded, her mind already settled on an answer.

….

Drip, drip, drip, the sound of the printer pulled Li Yang’s thoughts back.

It was her fourth day at the company as an intern, and she was the youngest intern there who got started in their junior year. And yet, there were others with impressive resumes, plus connections that got them in.

She alone was a freshman and a complete novice.

But she was very capable of learning and had already gotten accustomed to the pace of work. Both superiors and colleagues were nice to her, going out of their way to help her adapt.

Apart from that, although it was a part-time job, her salary was quite good. Even if she only worked part-time at the company for a few days each month, it was enough to cover her living expenses.

“Off work, everyone! Good job today.” The supervisor was the first to leave the office.

“Li Li, are you heading back to school now?” A female colleague from the next cubicle leaned over with a smile, “Do you want to go out with us for a bit?”

“No, if it gets any later, I’ll miss the bus.” She declined.

“Alright, be safe.” The colleague said farewell and walked away in her high heels, and the office quickly quieted down, leaving just a few people behind.

After Li Yang finished organizing the files, she picked up her bag and the water bottle from the desk and left.

The elevator arrived, and she was the first to enter, but she deliberately stood in the corner. She tightened the grip on her shoulder bag and started browsing her phone with her head down.@@novelbin@@

Down one floor, and several career women entered, talking in clear, crisp voices.

“Tina, remember to lend me your car.”

“What for?”

“I have to pick someone up tomorrow, the project leader sent over from France.” The woman sighed, her perfume filling the entire elevator.

Li Yang didn’t dare to look up and shrank back even more.

The women seemed not to notice the little girl tucked in the corner, and after pressing the close button, they continued chatting among themselves.

“I heard his English is super bad; I have no idea how I’m going to communicate tomorrow.”

“As if your English is any better, you’re pretty much a mute yourself. You’d be lucky to get ‘how are you’ right.” Another woman chuckled, their voices melodious, “how are you is quite impressive for you.”

“Oh, there’s a little sister here.” One woman noticed Li Yang in the corner, simply because she was so inconspicuous, always looking down at her phone.

“An intern, right?” The first woman to mention borrowing the car remarked, not taking much notice, given their company’s habit of hiring a bunch of interns and then slowly weeding them out.
