Author's note: Change Full-face helmet into an ordinary helmet. I just realize that the scene won't make sense if they were to use a full-face helmet

"What is this all about?"
After returning to the mansion, Ling Luo said to her that she had prepared the vehicle to carry them to the soon-to-be farm field and had instructed her to wait for her at the entrance. Qin Yu went back to her room first to pick up her phone so that she could snap some pictures of the field and then make a detailed planning and arrangement letter.
Who knew when she arrived at the entrance, that she would be welcomed by such a shocking scene?
Qin Yu deadpanned at the older girl who was humming happily on the top of a ragged two-seated ATV in front of her.
With a pair of stylish brown leather safety boots on her feet, a pair of gloves covering her hands, a helmet and a black stylish sunglasses under it, Ling Luo sported a girl-ready-for-adventure kind of look.
"Well, we're going to ride this baby! See, ain't it cool?!"
"It's more like you need to cool down a little bit, Big Sis Luo." Qin Yu let out an exasperated sigh.
Although it looked like it was working just fine, the heavily battered chassis and the black smoke that occasionally exhausted whenever Ling Luo twisted the gas throttle couldn't make Qin Yu feel at ease.
Where did she get this junk, anyway?
Qin Yu couldn't help but think her big sister had been scammed and once again sighed in exasperation.
"Do we really have to go there using this? It looks unreliable."
She deliberately glanced at the still rising plume coming from the vehicle's exhaust, then looked at Ling Luo, and then looked at the exhaust, back and forth several times.
But, as if she couldn't get the hint, or maybe, deliberately ignoring Qin Yu's cue, Ling Luo puffed her bulging chest, which looked like it was about to burst out of her tight-fitting shirt at any moment, and declared proudly.
"Don't worry, don't worry. I'm a pro driver!"
"It's not the point, Big Sis Luo... sigh, well just drive carefully okay..." I don't want to be sent back again to afterworld anytime soon, Qin Yu secretly added in her heart. Reluctantly, she hopped onto the passenger seat and waited for Ling Luo to set off.
Ling Luo turned back and gave her a look.
"What?" asked Qin Yu, puzzled.
"Little Yu, you need to put this on first." Ling Luo pointed at a pair of boots and gloves and a helmet on the front seat.
"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Qin Yu complained grumpily.
"Well, I'm not in a hurry, anyway." Ling Luo shrugged her shoulders and replied nonchalantly.
"Do I have to?"
Qin Yu didn't really want to put it on because she felt it wasn't necessary and quite stuffy, but afraid that Ling Luo would nag at her, she reluctantly got off the ATV and put the boots and gloves on. When she was about to put the helmet on, Ling Luo stood up, picked the helmet up first, and put it on her head.
"Let me help you."
"I'm an adult. I can do it myself."
"Qin Yu. Stay still, be obedient."
Qin Yu initially wanted to refuse, but clearly, there was no room for refusal in Ling Luo's voice. So, she could only let Ling Luo do what she wanted to do.
As the older girl helped her fasten the helmet, her face inched toward Qin Yu, giving the latter a closer look at her stunning beauty.
Her big black almond eyes were as clear as a still lake, and floating above them, fluttering eyelashes swayed slightly, looking so soft and fluffy, like a cotton flower brushed off by a gentle breeze.
Then she traced Ling Luo's round eyebrows down to her small and perky nose and stopped at her sumptuous red lips. It was glistening and wet, just like a candied plum. Qin Yu couldn't help but wonder if it taste as sweet as it looks?
Qin Yu didn't realize that she had gawked at those enticing lips for far too long, Ling Luo started to notice her hot gaze and the corner of her lips bent into a beautiful arc subconsciously.
Looking at the teasing smile, Qin Yu knew that she had been caught red-handed and started to fluster. She pulled her body backwards in reflex, but because Ling Luo was still gripping her helmet's buckle tightly, she was stuck in an awkward position.
Her eyes started to dart around, averting Ling Luo's gaze, but it looked like Ling Luo didn't want to pass up the slightest opportunity to tease the little rabbit, so she immediately pulled Qin Yu's face closer to her until their nose was just a hair breadth away from touching.
Qin Yu's eyes couldn't escape anymore and were soon caught by Ling Luo's eyes. Their hot breath brushed against each other's skin, invoking a tingling sensation. Their cheeks turned equally red, and soon the air between them turned ambiguous.
As if someone put a spell on Qin Yu, she slowly closed her eyes and puckered her lips seemed like waiting for something sweet to happen while her heart was pounding crazily like it was never before.
On the other hand, Ling Luo was stunned. She didn't expect that the harmless teasing would evolve into this nerve-wracking situation and was soon caught in a dilemma.
Ling Luo was torn between her desire and fear.
She stared at those small lips with a longing gaze.
This was something she had dreamed of for such a long, long time. But when she was presented with the opportunity, she instead became indecisive.
As a Shadow, an existence whose purpose was to protect the Qin Family's descendants from harm, she could kill other living beings, whether it was animals, beasts or even another human, without batting an eye.
If it was to protect Qin Yu, she would sacrifice her own life without hesitation.
But when it came to her true desire, she didn't have the same decisiveness and her mind was quickly riddled with many conflicting thoughts.
What did her actions mean? Did Qin Yu invite her to taste those small and delectable lips? Or was it just a false sign?
What if they were just caught in the heat of the moment? What if she became greedy and really took advantage of this situation, but it would only make Qin Yu hate her later on? Did her lovely little sister really have romantic feelings toward her?
She couldn't make up her mind for a long time.
A second seemed to stretch indefinitely, but time seemed to freeze at the moment.
Eventually, Ling Luo made her choice.
