Luo Yang couldn't help but apologize repeatedly after noticing that Zhu Li's Harley was still missing one of its rearview mirrors.
"We need to get the part back before it can be replaced, don't worry about it. If it's broken, we just replace it. Come on, have a seat, I'll show you how to ride. It's easy to learn," Zhu Li handed the bike keys to Luo Yang.
It was Luo Yang's first time riding a heavy motorcycle, and he was so excited that his palms were sweating.
Once Luo Yang sat on it, he felt the frame was heavy and steady.
With Zhu Li's guidance, Luo Yang quickly mastered the technique of riding the Harley, which indeed wasn't difficult. Driving a heavy bike, carrying a beauty, with the night wind at their backs, and speeding under the moonlight was quite showy.
The heavy bike's engine roared ruggedly and thrillingly, like rolling thunder on the road surface. Two bikes, two thunder rolls.
Luo Yang carried Zhu Li, and Chen Jie carried An Yuying. They drove around the circular highway and returned to the front of the bar, stepped off the bikes, and Zhu Li asked how it felt, Luo Yang laughed, "Sitting on it feels fantastic!"
Zhu Li said, "If you like riding, take it for a few days."
The Harley wasn't cheap, and although Luo Yang was worried about damaging it, and even if Zhu Li didn't mind, he would feel bad, borrowing it occasionally was better.
"Can I take another ride?" Luo Yang said, smiling.
"Of course, you can," Zhu Li said generously.
Getting on the bike, Luo Yang then asked An Yuying to hop on for a ride.
"You two really match each other well," Chen Jie laughed.
Her physique wasn't voluptuous, her curves weren't dramatic, but because she wore a tight T-shirt and jeans, the necessary parts protruded and indented, unexpectedly creating some charm. Jeans have always been a symbol of youth, enclosing long legs and tighten buttocks, radiating vitality.
Luxury car, beautiful women, a scene normally only seen at car shows, Luo Yang took it all in.
The hazy moon, the night cool as water, two blossoms of youth in the not-so-bright halo, Chen Jie stood elegantly, and Zhu Li leaned against the car, stunningly beautiful.
Zhu Li asked Luo Yang if he smoked, he nodded, and she then handed him a slim cigarette for women, saying, "Haven't tried one before? Give it a go."
It was indeed Luo Yang's first time smoking a slim cigarette for women. He lit it, took a drag, and thought, "No wonder women's cigarettes smell so good, much milder."
He exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "I'll take a quick round and bring back your bike."
"No need to bring it back, drive as long as you want."
"No, I'll just take one round, I'll be back soon."
Vroom vroom vroom...
The bike balanced and sped away, leaving a trail of rolling thunder on the highway, audible from a mile away.
As Luo Yang went far, Chen Jie thought, "This guy is quite handsome, no wonder Lili is fascinated by him. I've never seen Lili so interested in any guy. It seems she's really fallen for him."
Thinking this, she jokingly said, "Lili, the Harley is your beloved treasure, you've always been reluctant to lend it to anyone, I remember you'd rather lend a Lamborghini than your Harley, why so readily agree to lend it to him?"
Zhu Li exhaled smoke lazily, nonchalantly replying, "Who I lend it to is my right."
"Hehe, seems like there's a story, not simple. But he has a girlfriend though."
"Who asked you to interfere."
"Hehe, sister, I have a strategy for you, called 'strike first to gain the upper hand, turn the raw rice into cooked'."
"Heh, go away," Zhu Li dismissed.
...
...
On the road, Luo Yang asked An Yuying if she liked riding heavy motorcycles, and she said she did.
"Once I earn enough money, I'll buy one too. Every day, I'll take you for a ride."
"I'll be waiting then," she paused, then leaned in close to Luo Yang's ear, and in a soft voice asked, "Isn't tomorrow Sunday? Do you still have to go to school? The person who called you at the bar seemed to be a girl."
Luo Yang explained once more, and An Yuying then expressed her desire to tutor him. With such enthusiasm, he had to accept her kind offer. The tutoring sessions would be unscheduled, depending on the situation, and when both were available.
"Sister An, I've saved enough money for the rent," he told her excitedly.
"Really?! Have you rented it yet?"
"Almost."
After another round returning to the bar, Luo Yang still wanted more but had to return the bike to Zhu Li since Xiao Daniu was waiting for him to treat him to a late supper.
After treating Xiao Daniu to a late supper at the Tofu Damsel Dessert Shop, Xiao Daniu wanted to go play arcade games, so Luo Yang and An Yuying went back to their village first. Luo Yang was thinking of going to Lang Yifeng's casino to make another fortune, as winning money was too addictive. However, considering the difficulty of leaving the casino after winning, he hadn't yet figured out how to exit gracefully.
