Chapter 112: Chapter 112 Sending You

"If you’re not planning on giving me trouble, can you let go of me now? I still need to go take my exam." If Xu Haiyang had not been holding onto her without letting go, she would have run away already.

"Sorry, I was afraid Auntie Li would hit you and forgot to let go." Xu Haiyang looked apologetic and quickly released his grip.

Shen Mianmian pursed her lips, glanced at him, and strode away—the exam was the priority, and she had no time for idle chatter.

Xu Haiyang quickly caught up with her, "You’re about to be late, aren’t you? I have a bicycle—I can give you a lift!"

"A bicycle?"

Shen Mianmian’s pace slowed for a moment, and with a quick glance to the side of the road, she saw a bicycle parked there. He definitely hadn’t been pushing a bicycle when she bumped into Xu Haiyang.

Why had he parked the bicycle by the side of the road?

Seemingly catching onto her suspicion, Xu Haiyang gave an embarrassed smile and said, "I was just peeing by the side of the road when you came running along... It would be faster if I rode you there on my bicycle..."

"No need, I can walk there myself." Xu Haiyang was no good person, and the day’s events were strange enough. She didn’t want to get involved with him in any way.

People don’t become bad overnight; if Xu Haiyang could act like this after marriage, it only showed his true character was far from kind.

"It’s almost seven o’clock now; you’ll definitely be late if you walk."

Seeing as the distance from the bicycle was increasing, Xu Haiyang hurried back to push the bicycle closer to Shen Mianmian, "Hop on, I’ll take you. It happens that I have to go to town for something."

"..."

Xu Haiyang’s abnormal enthusiasm made Shen Mianmian feel uneasy. She clamped her mouth shut and decided not to say anything, picking up her pace as she walked briskly.

"Are you afraid I’m still going to trouble you? Rest assured, I won’t do that. It’s just on the way, and since what happened has somewhat to do with me, I would feel bad if you were late for the exam because of this, which is why I thought of giving you a lift."

Xu Haiyang continued to explain, but the smile on his face had faded somewhat.

The young girl was not old, yet her defensive instincts were strong. He had offered help, but she hadn’t even said thank you.

In theory, a girl her age should have some awareness of romantic matters, but her reaction to a handsome young man who had just assisted her was too cold.

She didn’t even show the slightest hint of the shyness typical of young girls.

Could it be... that she was too frightened by the matchmaker just now?

That shouldn’t be the case. She had been quite articulate during her argument with the matchmaker.

If Shen Mianmian hadn’t almost run away earlier, Xu Haiyang hadn’t planned on showing up so quickly. He initially wanted to let the matchmaker stall for a bit longer, so with time running out, Shen Mianmian would definitely get on his bicycle.

It would also have highlighted his significance in appearing.

"If you have things to do, please go ahead and don’t follow me, okay? I don’t need you to take me," Shen Mianmian dismissed Xu Haiyang’s lengthy explanation and spoke her mind.

The more enthusiastic Xu Haiyang was, the more she felt that something was not right.

"I think you might have really misunderstood something. Stop for a second, let’s clear it up before you go." Xu Haiyang reached out and grabbed Shen Mianmian’s backpack.

If the girl was unwilling to accept the ride, he would just delay her. If she was about to be late, he guessed she would no longer refuse.

Caught off guard by his sudden action, Shen Mianmian felt a shock and instinctively resisted.

"Don’t panic, I just want to talk to you properly," Xu Haiyang said, holding the bicycle with one hand and grasping Shen Mianmian with the other as he tried to explain.

"Let her go." Lu Siyuan, who had come looking for Shen Mianmian on his bicycle, wasn’t there yet, but his voice had already reached them.
