Chapter 33 I Don‘t Know How To Ride A Bike. I tried to pinch Louise’s waist, and she dodged while snickering at me. I couldn’t stop myself from looking at Derek. He was wearing white sportswear, with one foot on the pedal of his mountain bike. His entire image looked sunny to me. Then, he tilted his head, staring at me with a faint smile. Every detail of his face made him extremely attractive, and his smile made him even more handsome. A while later, I finally realized that the celebration activity that Louise mentioned earlier was to ride bicycles. Upon finding out the truth, I whispered in embarrassment, “I don’t know how to ride a bike. “That’s fine! Derek can drive you around. He specially attached a back seat to his bike today. Naturally, it’s better to sit on the front, so you can ride the bike and him at the same time,” Felix remarked with a chuckle. “Shut the fuck up, Felix!” Before I could understand what he meant, Derek had already thrown him a curse. Felix’s bicycle also had a back seat, so he asked Louise to ride with him. However, she said that she wanted to rent a bicycle and ride by herself. Unfortunately for her, all the bicycles in the club had been rented out, perhaps because of the good weather today. “Come on, beautiful! Ride with me. It’s fate,” Felix said. A playful smile appeared on his face. His words were obviously a double entendre. Thus, Louise had no choice but to ride his bicycle. I sat behind Derek, with my hands holding onto the frame beneath my buttocks. In order to stabilize myself on the seat, I had to ensure that I was sitting tightly. “Are you good back there?” asked Derek

After I nodded, I realized that he couldn’t see me, so I told him, “Yup. All good. Before I even finished my sentence, the bicycle rush ed forward. Due to the inertia, my body leaned backwa rds, causing me to instinctively hold onto his waist. A second later, I seemed to have he ard Derek chuckle. Summer clothes were very t hin, so I could feel his p rominent abdominal muscles. The warmth on my face had n ot yet faded, but I didn’t dare to let go of his waist. At first, he was riding smoothly, but on ce we had left the downtown and climbed over the slope, he gradually slowed down. Sitting on his bicycle felt very uneasy for me. At this time, I really wished that I could be as light as a butterfly. “Am I heavy? You want me to get off and walk for a little bit?” I asked him. “It’s fine. Someone as petite as you isn’t a big deal for me,” De rek replied, as if comforting me. “Hurry up, you fool! You’re like a snail. Can you even ride properly? J ust look at Derek!” remarked Louise. I turned around and saw that Felix was falling behind, and was riding with great diffi culty. But after hearing her remark, he couldn’t help but respond, “That’s easier said than done! I’m this slow because you’re riding with me. If you can do it, be my guest!” . “Sure. I will. ” Without any he sitation, Louise jumped down an d pulled Felix off the bicycle. Felix was merely joking. He had no idea that she would take it seriously. Not a moment later, Lou ise sat gracefully on th e bicycle and rode away

“Hey, wait up! I ha ven’t even got on y et,” Felix shouted. After rushing forward a decent distance, Louise turned the bike around and looked at Felix. “W alk as slow as you want, snail! Take your time. All of a sudden, the look on his face was so funny that I laughed out loud. Clearly, Felix was humilia ted. He gritted his teeth, pointing at Louise’s back. “I’m not a snail. Just wa it and see!” Having declar ed that, he ran after her. Seeing that he was about to catch up, Louise rode even faster. D ue to the fact that she was a Taekwondo practitioner, her legs w ere strong. For her, riding a bike was child’s play. In order to . ed his best, but he still couldn’t catch up with her. In t he end, he was so exhausted that he just stood in the middl e of the road with his hands on his knees, gasping for air. “So, are you ready to admi t that you’re a snail?” Lo uise laughed at his misery. When Derek and I passed him b y, I gave him a sympathetic g lance. “Take your time, Felix. There’s no need to be agitated. I had no intention of insulting him or making fun of him. All I wanted to do was to offer some words of comfort. But when I heard Derek laugh at my remark, I gathered that Felix must’ve misunderstood my intention as well. With a sullen face, he pointed at Derek and shouted, “You ta ke your lover’s side over your . friend’s? Wh at are you l aughing at?” . Once more, Felix rush ed forward, as if try ing to prove himself
