How Did the Top-Tier Male Lead Fall in Love With Me? 45p2

Chapter 45 Part 2

That bicycle looked quite old, as if it had been through a lot of wind and rain, and seemed to have been forgotten here, rather than specially prepared by the show’s team.

So Meng Huaizhi said, “That shouldn’t be for us to use.”

“Director Fang didn’t say so,” Shen Wu said unconcernedly, walked towards the bicycle, picked it up and stepped on the pedal, and looked back in surprise, “It still works!”

Fang Ci in the control room: “…”

The audience in the live broadcast room: [Fang, you dog’s slap in the face came as fast as a tornado.]

Shen Wu happily got a bicycle and immediately told Meng Huaizhi his plan, “This amusement park is too big. It will definitely take us a few hours to search it all, and there are four other people competing with us.”

Meng Huaizhi nodded and followed his suggestion, “Why don’t we ride to the farthest place and then search our way back?”

Shen Wu had the same thought.

The six guests had started from the same place, so the possibility of their search routes overlapping was very high. If others had gotten to a certain area’s props first, they might have searched it again without knowing, wasting time for no reason.

Without delaying, Shen Wu was about to get on the bicycle, but was pulled by the arm by Meng Huaizhi, “Wait, if you ride, the tail will hit me.”

Shen Wu: “…”

“I’ll take you,” Meng Huaizhi’s tone brooked no argument. He took his place and said again, “Don’t fall into a pit.”

Shen Wu exchanged a look with him, and in that look, they confirmed that they had both thought of the same thing.

Meng Huaizhi’s light words sparked a heated discussion in the live broadcast room.

[Isn’t Shen Wu a race car driver? How can he fall into a pit while riding a bicycle?]

[Wait, I’ve found the key point. Could it be that Wuwu has given Huai-ge a ride on his bike before?]

[Ahhhhhh]

[Huai-ge fell into a pit? I’m sorry, but I kind of want to see what happened.]

[I’m so curious. Can you guys elaborate?]

The two of them did not know about the dynamics of the live broadcast room. Shen Wu sat on the back seat and, while asking a question, accidentally satisfied the audience’s curiosity, “You still remember?”

“It wasn’t that long ago, was it?” Meng Huaizhi also got on the bike, held the handlebars, and his magnetic voice was gently carried by the wind.

“It’s been nine years,” but Shen Wu needed to emphasize the passage of time to distance himself from his noisy and childish self back then. “When you were in your third year of high school, I was only in my second year of middle school.”

Meng Huaizhi chuckled and continued, “The only time in my life I fell into a pit.”

Shen Wu reminded him, “We’re live now.” Meaning, don’t tell my embarrassing story.

Meng Huaizhi laughed out loud, “I know.”

The bullet screen was so curious that they were scratching their hearts and livers, wishing they could scratch through the screen and enter the amusement park.

[Ahhhhhh, what are they talking about!!]

[That’s not the point. The point is that Huai-ge knew Wuwu when he was in his third year of high school?]

[Maybe even earlier. They seemed to be very familiar at that time. They’re four years apart, so they can’t be classmates. If they knew each other through their families, then…]

[They’re childhood sweethearts, holy crap!!]

[Then it makes sense that Huai-ge is so special to Wuwu, wuwuwu. If they’re childhood sweethearts for more than ten years, is there any chance for anyone else to get in? (Yes, I’m talking about “sister-in-law”)]

[Besides our Xiao Wu, there’s no sister-in-law (doge).]

[Holy crap, holy crap, a male sister-in-law is a possibility I’ve never thought of…]

[I’ve said it eight hundred times, Wuye Shuhuai, lock it for me!!!]

The memory they shared, though it had been nine years, was still vivid.

As the young master of the Shen family, Shen Wu had a private car to take him around, but seeing his classmates riding their bicycles one by one, weaving through the traffic like the wind, he couldn’t help but feel a little envious.

In his second year of middle school, he decided to learn to ride a bike.

As early as elementary school, Shen Ping had often taken him to the children’s go-kart track. The coach would always praise him for his talent, a genius in racing. Being praised every day, the young boy couldn’t help but lift his chin proudly, thinking that there was nothing in this world he couldn’t conquer, especially vehicles.

But the first time he stepped on the bicycle pedal, he barely managed to pedal once with each foot. The bike had just moved a meter when it tilted to the side. He had to use his feet to support himself and steady his body.

He was brave and not timid when learning to ride a bike. The second time he stepped on the bicycle pedal, he rushed out, and then… fell into the lawn next to him.

His process of learning to ride a bike was very unsuccessful.

He would not give up easily. He would practice in the courtyard every day after school.

By the time he had made some progress in his third year of middle school, he was already able to ride a bike on the road. One weekend, he met Meng Huaizhi outside.

Meng Huaizhi, who was in his third year of high school, was busy with his studies and only had half a day off a week. Even on that half a day, he would stay in the city library to study.

When Shen Wu met him, he was carrying a bag of books and waiting by the roadside for the Meng family’s car to pick him up.

Shen Wu pushed his bike over and greeted him enthusiastically, “Huaizhi-ge! Are you done with your reading? Are you going home now?”

Since he had started his third year of high school, due to his busy studies, Meng Huaizhi had not seen Shen Wu for more than half a year.

Today, they had met by chance, and the fourteen-year-old boy had already become a person he found quite unfamiliar.

His body, which had grown rapidly like a spring bamboo shoot, had driven away the little bit of childishness left.

The boy in front of him was tall and slender, like a bamboo in the forest, refined and thin.

He couldn’t help but look at this “didi” who he had been protecting and taking care of for many years in a different light.

Then, he glanced at his bicycle and remembered that he had started learning to ride a bike last year. He had heard that it was very difficult, so he casually asked, “Have you learned to ride a bike?”

Meng Huaizhi’s sentence was a plain question, but at that time, Shen Wu was a young boy with a heavy heart and was very proud. He felt that this sentence contained a hint of sarcasm.

Little did he know that he was just taking it to heart. He quickly spoke to protect the young boy’s self-esteem, “I learned it a long time ago. Otherwise, why would I be here with my bike? I just rode it from home.”

Meng Huaizhi’s expression was faint, “Mm, so you’re going back now? Or you can wait, and I’ll have the driver take you.”

Shen Wu volunteered, “Don’t wait for the driver. I’ll take you back on my bike.”

“We’re not going the same way,” Meng Huaizhi politely refused.

Shen Wu: “Do you also think I can’t learn to ride a bike?”

Meng Huaizhi: “…” What did he say?

Shen Wu: “You must be laughing at me in your heart.”

Meng Huaizhi: “…” What was he thinking?

In the end, he had no choice but to sit on the back of Shen Wu’s bike.

The Meng family’s driver was already on his way. He would just let Shen Wu take him for a short ride, and then they would get in the car together and go home.

Shen Wu got the opportunity to show off his cycling skills and stepped on the pedal hard.

The bicycle, carrying the two of them, flew out like an arrow.

However, the good times did not last for a few minutes. The handlebars in Shen Wu’s hands tilted, the bicycle lost its balance, and it fell into a puddle with the two people on it.

The bicycle was a meter high from the ground. They fell hard on the concrete ground without any warning, and both of them felt a pain where they had hit the ground.

It had rained in the morning, and the old city was full of muddy puddles, a complete mess. Meng Huaizhi fell into one, and his white clothes were instantly half-dirty. The state of Shen Wu in front of him was no better.

Shen Wu did not get up immediately, but bent his knees and lowered his head.

Meng Huaizhi also looked over.

Shen Wu was wearing a pair of black long pants. The thin cotton fabric did not have much ability to cushion the impact, especially at the knees, where the fabric was torn and the thin skin scraped, stained with a glaring bloodstain.

The bloodstain was covered with dirty sand and mud, which made Meng Huaizhi’s brow furrow tightly.

He fumbled in his bag with his muddy hands, getting the inside of the only clean bag dirty. Fortunately, he had found something. He took out a pack of tissues and a bottle of mineral water.

He first unscrewed the bottle cap, said “don’t move,” and carefully used the little bit of mineral water left in the bottle to clean Shen Wu’s wound.

Shen Wu, the person involved, did not care at all and said in his ear, “It’s just a small injury, it’s nothing.”

Seeing the young Meng Huaizhi’s brow furrowed tightly, he did not like this seriousness, which inexplicably destroyed that untainted refinement.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration, he lifted his hand from the muddy water and wiped it on the young boy’s fair face.

Meng Huaizhi’s movements paused, “…”

Shen Wu’s face was unconcerned, “Anyway, we have to go back and take a shower later.”

Meng Huaizhi was not in a good mood, “Half an hour on the road is enough for the wound to get infected.”

Shen Wu grunted and obediently stopped moving.

The two of them, each a mess, pushed the dirty bicycle to the roadside to wait for the Meng family’s car.

The gazes of the pedestrians kept coming over, making Shen Wu feel embarrassed, but Meng Huaizhi beside him was calm and composed.

Meng Huaizhi looked at him and suddenly asked, “If you had known you would fall ten minutes ago, would you still have given me a ride?”

Shen Wu smiled brightly, “Of course. If I didn’t, how would I know I would fall?”

It was knowing that the road ahead was difficult, but still insisting on facing it.

So what if he knew his fate? It was not as real as the scythe hanging over his head on the execution ground. Fate was ethereal and uncertain, and it might not even happen.

This was the Shen Wu he knew.

The dazzling boy who he could not take his eyes off.

Nine years later, Meng Huaizhi reminded Shen Wu behind him, “Hold on to me. Be careful not to fall.”

Shen Wu hesitantly reached out his hands and loosely wrapped them around his waist.

The bicycle was accelerating.

Meng Huaizhi could not feel Shen Wu’s touch and was not at ease. He freed one hand, pressed down on the back of his hand, and made him hold on to him tightly.

“Hold on tight.”

Shen Wu was taken aback for a moment and then came back to his senses. He quickly reminded him, “Don’t ride with one hand. Be careful not to fall!”

“I won’t.”

“…I’ve said that too.”

Meng Huaizhi smiled again, “Okay, then you hold on to me.”
