Chapter 127: Chapter 127: Can I Fly Over There?

Gu Qili carried her backpack as if she was carrying a bag of explosives onto the battlefield, charging out with urgency.

Mu Shuoqian suddenly extended his long arm and grabbed her arm, forcing her to stop. She glared at him and yelled, "Mu Shuoqian, I’m really going to be late."

Mu Shuoqian, without saying a word, pulled her to the door, casually took the car keys from the basket, and seeing the desk lamp, his expression turned cold, his tone warning, "Don’t do such foolish things again."

If there had really been a thief last night, how dangerous it would have been for her to rush out so recklessly.

Gu Qili didn’t know what he was referring to, thinking he was talking about her oversleeping, and she poked his chest with a finger full of grievance: "You have the nerve to say that, it’s all your fault."

It was fine until it was brought up, and now it just made her even more irritated.

Mu Shuoqian jingled the car keys, leisurely tilted his head to look at her, his eyes twinkling mischievously: "Blame me for what?"

His eyes seemed genuinely ignorant, as if he hadn’t kissed her last night and was now pretending to be an outsider. Was he genuinely foolish or feigning it?

Gu Qili didn’t want to argue with him, pouting her lips and humphing, "Why are you pulling me?"

"Nonsense, I’m taking you."

Since he was being unusually kind, Gu Qili didn’t stand on ceremony with him, as she was truly in a hurry.

As soon as they walked out, Yuan Yi was actually standing at the door. Gu Qili wondered if he lived in Mu Shuoqian’s garage.

Mu Shuoqian tossed him the keys and pulled Gu Qili into the car.

Yuan Yi glanced at him gripping her palm tightly and raised his eyebrows, then focused on driving.

It wasn’t until they were seated that Mu Shuoqian released her hand, the sudden rush of air into his palm made him uncomfortably furrow his brows; her hand was so soft and warm, he didn’t want to let go.

Gu Qili had no time for these thoughts, as she opened her backpack and took out a book to cram at the last minute.

Mu Shuoqian also casually took out his laptop and put on an earphone to listen to today’s schedule; the two of them sat on their own sides, indifferent to each other.

The distance from Jingshan to the school was neither particularly close nor far, but it involved passing through one of Aus City’s most congested and bustling streets.

It was the height of the morning rush hour, and the road was filled with a long line of slow-moving cars.

After a long while of this sluggish motion, Gu Qili felt the car suddenly stop. Pulling her gaze from her book, she looked ahead to see a line of cars that seemed to stretch to the horizon.

"Brother Yuan, what’s going on?"

Yuan Yi wasn’t sure either and had to turn on the car radio. The broadcast was reporting traffic conditions, revealing that there had been a pile-up accident involving three cars ahead. The traffic police had yet to arrive, and the road was already a complete mess.

Gu Qili leaned over the car seat to look back; behind the Maybach was a long line of cars, so long that it seemed endless. However, the sensible drivers had left a significant gap between their cars and the Maybach, as they were afraid to even scratch it; even if they chipped the paint, they couldn’t afford to pay for it.

"Madam, it will take at least an hour to clear the road." Yuan Yi asked worriedly, "Is it okay if you’re late for school?"

If it were just a class, being late would at most mean a scolding from the professor, but today was different; she had an exam.

Gu Qili inwardly cursed herself for not managing her time well, over-sleeping at such a critical juncture.

"What to do, what to do? Maybe I should just get out and walk," Gu Qili said in a panic, looking like she was about to cry.

As she spoke, she tried to open the car door, but from behind her, Mu Shuoqian grabbed her hand, frowning: "Idiot, even if you had Bolt’s speed, you’d still be too late to run there."

Gu Qili was annoyed with him, her tone harsh: "Then what do you suggest, that I could fly over?" **
