Chapter 1480: Chapter 1480: Acted like a Fool Today

Luo Ziling quickly felt like a fool today.

As he pedaled a bicycle pulling two women across a bridge, he realized his idea was a total disaster—pretty much like digging a hole for himself and jumping in.

The three-person weight combined with the bicycle all relied on his legs to move forward. Meanwhile, the two women behind him had fully adopted a princess-like demeanor, simply sitting back and enjoying the view while he did all the heavy lifting.

Flat ground was manageable, but not long after starting, they encountered two high-arched bridges to cross.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t pick up enough speed. Even pedaling the four-wheeled bike as fast as he could, it simply wouldn’t budge up the incline.

He had to dismount and push, while the two women, schadenfreudic smiles on their faces, remained seated and chuckled merrily at his plight.

Tourists on the road couldn’t help but turn curious eyes toward their one-man-two-woman combination, with some even pulling out their phones to snap pictures.

The women were dazzlingly beautiful, the "driver" handsome—naturally, anyone passing by couldn’t help but wonder about their relationship.

Beads of sweat ran down Luo Ziling’s forehead as he painfully pushed the bike up the bridge, enduring the inquisitive stares of passersby. His internal frustration was almost unspeakable.

After crossing the two bridges, they immediately faced an uphill incline. Even with his decent stamina, Luo Ziling soon found himself dripping with sweat.

Instead of sympathizing, the two women rallied together like they’d teamed up against him, snapping pictures of his most pitiful state. After taking his embarrassing photos, they even posted them to their social circles.

"A certain someone’s penance." That was the caption Yang Qingyin added to her post.

Ouyang Feifei wrote, "A certain handsome guy pedaling us around town—turns out it’s even better than riding in a luxury car!"

Thankfully, Luo Ziling didn’t check his social media. Otherwise, he might very well have spat blood in fury.

When they reached the Linde Palace Ruins, Luo Ziling was dismayed to find that the site, one of the best-preserved ruin areas, was under maintenance and closed off.

Fortunately, Luo Ziling spotted an unlocked iron gate, threw Yang Qingyin and Ouyang Feifei to the roadside, and dashed inside to snap a few pictures, including some selfies to post on his own social media.

But while posting to his social feed, he stumbled upon the pictures and captions shared by Yang Qingyin and Ouyang Feifei, along with the comments made by others.

"Haha, silly little brother doing penance like a workhorse," commented Luo Yuqing.

Fang Dongxun added under Yang Qingyin’s post, "Wow, Mr. Luo has switched careers to be a coachman? What a world."

"The most handsome coachman in Chang’an City," wrote Fang Qianqian.

"Without a doubt," Chen Xiaoxiao replied to Fang Qianqian’s comment, both followed by a barrage of laughing emojis.

Luo Ziling responded to their comments with a flurry of angry and crazed emojis.

After taking the photos, he returned to the roadside bicycle, where he lodged a protest with Yang Qingyin and Ouyang Feifei. But the two women simply ignored him.

In the end, Luo Ziling resorted to his own method of protest—pedaling the bike at an absurdly fast speed while swerving back and forth, startling the two women into screaming loudly and nearly dropping their phones.

Seeing the two women turn pale with fright and hurling curses at him, Luo Ziling burst into hearty laughter, thoroughly enjoying his moment of triumph.

In the midst of the chaos, the pent-up frustration he’d accumulated over the past two days suddenly evaporated.

However, Luo Ziling’s mad antics had now angered Yang Qingyin.

When they returned to the parking spot, she stormed off the bike angrily, calling Xiaoli over and preparing to leave Luo Ziling behind on foot.

"Qingyin, come with me," Ouyang Feifei called out to Yang Qingyin. "We drove here."

At Ouyang Feifei’s urging, Yang Qingyin reluctantly climbed into the BMW SUV that Wang Qing was driving over.

Not wanting to be crammed into the back seat, Luo Ziling quickly snagged the front passenger seat.

He had initially thought about seizing the driver’s seat but decided against it, considering his limited driving skills were still far from sufficient for solo trips. So, he settled for the passenger seat instead.

The luxury car he had won from Gu Changwei before had been given to Wuyue, though Wuyue hadn’t had much chance to drive it.

Luo Ziling planned to properly hone his driving skills, though he wasn’t particularly fond of sports cars. He prepared to gift the vehicle to Luo Yuqing.

Next month was Luo Yuqing’s birthday, and Luo Ziling intended to hand her the car keys as a birthday present.

Luo Ziling still dreamt of owning an SUV with a broad view. He didn’t like low-slung sports cars.

Yang Qingyin expressed interest in playing on the castle walls, so naturally, Luo Ziling went along. And since Ouyang Feifei had already joined the group, she didn’t plan to leave anytime soon.

Thus, the five of them ascended the city wall from the north gate.

Once on the wall, Luo Ziling suggested renting bicycles to ride a lap around the wall.

Ye Xiaoli and Wang Qing immediately opposed the idea.

Both Ye Xiaoli and Wang Qing were dressed rather formally today, while Ouyang Feifei and Yang Qingyin were clad in long, modified Hanfu-style dresses. Considering safety and convenience, the two women disapproved of Luo Ziling’s proposal.

However, neither Yang Qingyin nor Ouyang Feifei outright rejected him; they agreed to his suggestion.

The bikes available on the wall came in single and tandem models. Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin knew how to ride bicycles, as did Wang Qing and Ye Xiaoli. But Ouyang Feifei didn’t know how.

"You ride a tandem bike with Ouyang Feifei, while the rest of us take single riders," Yang Qingyin proactively suggested.

The suggestion surprised both Ouyang Feifei and Luo Ziling, but Yang Qingyin left no room for discussion.

In the end, Luo Ziling could only agree.

They rented four bicycles, one tandem and three single riders.

Yang Qingyin didn’t wait for the others and hopped on her bike, speeding ahead.

Ye Xiaoli hurriedly pedaled after her, while Luo Ziling and Ouyang Feifei struggled for a while before finally starting their tandem ride.

Since Ouyang Feifei had never ridden a bike, she couldn’t balance properly. Luckily, Luo Ziling’s balance was good, and he instructed Ouyang Feifei to only hold onto the handlebars and not worry about pedaling.

As Luo Ziling pedaled off with Ouyang Feifei, Wang Qing followed closely behind.

And so, this group of stylish young men and women raced on bicycles across the city wall, attracting amazed stares from other tourists.

For safety, Ye Xiaoli stayed near Yang Qingyin, while Wang Qing never strayed far from Ouyang Feifei’s side.

As for Luo Ziling, naturally, he had to stick close to Yang Qingyin to prevent her from getting jealous again.

Such a striking assembly of four women and one man inevitably garnered plenty of attention, and their bicycling antics on the wall were quickly posted on social media. Not that they cared.

By the time they left Daming Palace Ruins Park, it was around 3:30 in the afternoon.

Lunch for the group had been a simple meal inside the park. After pedaling with Ouyang Feifei for a stretch, Luo Ziling grew tired of cycling. Hungry and aware of the attention they were drawing, he also worried about upsetting Yang Qingyin. So, after completing one-fourth of the route near the East Gate, he proposed getting off the wall.

But his suggestion was swiftly rejected by Yang Qingyin and Ouyang Feifei.

"There’s a lantern festival near the South Gate. I want to see the lanterns. If you don’t want to, suit yourself!" Yang Qingyin said, before pedaling away.

Ouyang Feifei urged Luo Ziling to catch up, leaving him no choice but to reluctantly put in more effort, pedaling to keep up with her.
