Chapter 34: Chapter 34: Riding My Beloved Little Motorcycle

"Gan Niliang!"

THUD!

"Ouch! It hurts, it hurts!"

The commotion in the alley gradually died down. Ultimately, Su Yunzhou emerged entirely victorious. He had only suffered some minor accidental scratches. Compared to the three men, who were beaten black and blue, his injuries were practically negligible.

The bare-knuckle brawl left the residents in the apartments above thoroughly shocked.

"Uh... this rich guy is fierce!"

"With skills like that, he really had nothing to fear."

"Those thugs definitely messed with the wrong guy this time."

Su Yunzhou wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and glared fiercely at the three men slumped haphazardly on the ground. "I was originally going to give you a thousand bucks as a lock-picking fee. Well, look at you now. I don’t even know if a thousand will cover your medical bills."

The bulbous-nosed man had always been a bully who cowered before anyone stronger. Though the alcohol had gone to his head earlier, the beating he just took had sobered him up considerably. Enduring the immense pain, he babbled, "Bro, stop hitting us. We were just messing around."

"Is that how you mess around?" Su Yunzhou sneered. "Then how about we keep playing?"

Beside him, a rough-looking man whose face was swollen like a pig’s head shook his head like a rattle drum. Slurring his words, he pleaded, "Bwo, dwon’t hit us. Missundersthanshing, ish all a missundersthanshing."

This was the same guy who had the foulest mouth earlier.

The third thug, clutching his unbearably swollen wrist, begged for mercy with terror in his eyes. "Bro, be the bigger man! It really is a misunderstanding, just let us go!"

Su Yunzhou scoffed coldly and turned to walk toward Jiang Shiyue, who was standing there dumbstruck. The classic trope of a hero saving the beauty was indeed effective.

[Jiang Shiyue Affinity: 18 points]

After this fight, her Affinity had instantly multiplied by six.

"Let’s go!" he called out. "What are you still spacing out for?"

"Oh!" Snapping out of her daze, Jiang Shiyue pushed her motorcycle and hurried after him.

Only after watching the young man and the woman disappear into the distance did the bulbous-nosed man and his two companions curse as they scrambled up from the ground. They had suffered incredibly bad luck today. They only managed to score a thousand bucks, yet they had to endure a brutal lesson from society.

By the time the two reached a brightly lit intersection, Jiang Shiyue finally noticed a scrape on the back of Su Yunzhou’s left arm, his cuff dotted with small bloodstains.

"Wait," Jiang Shiyue said, suddenly grabbing Su Yunzhou’s arm to examine it under the streetlight.

"What are you doing?"

"I saw your arm was scraped!" In her excitement, her movements were a bit too rough, accidentally tearing open the wound that had just stopped bleeding.

Su Yunzhou was rendered speechless. "Gee, thanks."

Jiang Shiyue replied sheepishly, "Let’s go to the hospital and get it checked out! I remember the Provincial Hospital isn’t far from here."

Su Yunzhou inspected the small cut. "Is that really necessary? If I go in for something like this, the doctors will probably laugh at me."

"It is necessary!" Jiang Shiyue insisted earnestly.

"I’m not going!"

"..."

A short while later.

Jiang Shiyue’s persistence won out. "Where is your car parked? Let’s take your car!"

Su Yunzhou shrugged. "I don’t have a car."

Jiang Shiyue hesitated for a moment, but thinking of everything that had happened tonight, she had no choice but to compromise. "Then I’ll take you there on my Little Ninja!"

"Oh."

Su Yunzhou looked at the long-legged beauty with her motorcycle. Although he really wanted to ride on the back, he eventually shook his head. "I’ll pass. I’m a bit scared! If we crash, I’ll be genuinely injured!"

Jiang Shiyue glared at him in exasperation, her tone laced with firmness. "You’re a grown man, stop dawdling! Get on the bike!"

"No."

"Hurry up! Do you have any idea how many people would kill for a chance to ride on my backseat..."

Su Yunzhou put on an expression of utter resignation. "Alright, alright! I’m getting on!"

Jiang Shiyue started the engine, put on her helmet, and gave a slight jut of her beautiful chin—the meaning was self-evident.

Su Yunzhou took a deep breath and climbed onto the pillion. A faint, refreshing fragrance immediately wafted into his nose, involuntarily intoxicating him. As expected, even a beautiful woman’s sweat smelled sweet.

"You... take your paws off me," Jiang Shiyue’s angry voice mumbled from beneath her helmet.

Su Yunzhou reluctantly withdrew his hands. "You made me get on, but now you won’t let me hold on. You really are planning to crash and injure me for good!"

PAT PAT.

Jiang Shiyue slapped the two grip points on the fuel tank. "Hold onto here."

"Why didn’t you say so earlier?" Su Yunzhou asked, sliding his arms past her slender waist to grip the fuel tank.

Jiang Shiyue felt like a cat whose fur was standing on end. She twisted the throttle.

VROOM!

Feeling the sheer vulnerability of riding a motorcycle, Su Yunzhou couldn’t help but urge, "Actually, I get motion sickness easily. Ride a little slow... slower..."

The Kawasaki Little Ninja roared away from the alley.

At first, Jiang Shiyue kept the speed relatively slow. However, once they left the old district and merged onto the main road, she instantly displayed the true demeanor of a Female Knight. Su Yunzhou was tossed about until he was dizzy, disoriented, and terrified out of his wits. Fortunately, there wasn’t much traffic at night; otherwise, he genuinely feared he wouldn’t live to see tomorrow’s sunrise.

The two of them rode on, eventually arriving at the Provincial Hospital without any actual mishaps.

After getting off the bike, Su Yunzhou awkwardly stretched his legs. Because she had driven so fast, he was terrified that making any sudden movements would cause the bike to flip, landing them on tomorrow’s front-page news. Thus, he had maintained the exact same posture the entire ride, causing his inner thighs to cramp up.

Watching him repeatedly adjust his crotch, Jiang Shiyue didn’t know whether to be annoyed or amused.

"Hey, hey, hey! Can you be a little more civilized? Anyone who didn’t know better would think there was something wrong with you down there."

Su Yunzhou continued his bizarre stretching routine. "None of your business! It’s all because of how you rode..."

An elegant ringtone interrupted him. Jiang Shiyue swiped her screen to answer the call.

"Auntie, we’ve arrived at the hospital.

"Oh! Then I’ll take him straight to the emergency room.

"Alright, alright! He didn’t fall off the bike! Don’t worry! I’ll hang up now."

Shortly after, the two arrived at the emergency department. There were quite a few patients tonight, mostly urgent cases ranging from falls and fractures to diarrhea, fevers, and insect or snake bites.

It was obvious that Jiang Shiyue’s aunt carried some weight in the hospital. Feeling a bit embarrassed, the two took the priority green channel. However, since it was indeed a minor injury, they didn’t waste too much of the public’s medical resources.

While in the debridement room, Su Yunzhou received a system notification.

"The mature young woman has spent 219 yuan on you. Affinity 17 points, cashback 3,723 yuan."

He had put in so much effort tonight, yet the returns were just this meager amount. Only a few days ago, he had made a grand vow to complete two small goals. Fortunately, he could cast a wide net; otherwise, at this pace, he wouldn’t finish his goals until the end of time.

By the time Su Yunzhou’s wounds were bandaged and he came out, it was almost midnight. After chatting for a few moments, the two went their separate ways. Jiang Shiyue ruffled her messy hair, put on her helmet, and swung a leg over her motorcycle. Revealing a perfectly shaped rear that left much to the imagination, she smoothly disappeared into the night.

Su Yunzhou took a premium ride-hailing service back to the Celestial Paradise Holiday Hotel.

When he woke up, the sun was already high in the sky. Opening his phone, he saw several exciting messages from Li Yan.

[Mr. Su, your beloved vehicle will be delivered to the Southern City Porsche Center early this morning.]

[We will hold a car delivery ceremony for you tomorrow morning at 10:00 a.m.]

[Does that work for you?]
