195 Love Trap 3 (1/2)
After hanging up the phone, Mei Yangyang proceeded to relay Gu Beicheng's message to An Xiaoning, ”Sis, Mr. Gu wants you to meet him at the entrance of the academy once you're done eating. He'll be waiting for you there. He mentioned that he has something to tell you.”
”Okay, got it.”
An Xiaoning proceeded to make her way to the entrance immediately after she finished her meal.
Gu Beicheng did not drive and instead arrived on a motorbike. He was dressed in a black leather jacket, which made him appear rather suave.
”Hop on.”
”We're on lockdown, I'm not allowed to leave.”
”Ms. An, I've already spoken to your trainers and requested for a short break on your behalf. We'll be back in an hour. I'd like to take you to a special place,” Gu Beicheng said smilingly.
An Xiaoning remained still and said, ”Where is it? Tell me first.”
”You'll love it, trust me,” he answered confidently.
”Let me inform the trainers again, it's a must to abide by the rules here,” said An Xiaoning as she gave Chen Xu a call, only to hear that her request for a break had indeed been approved.
”We've got one hour.”
”Yes, one hour indeed.”
She rode pillion on the motorbike and put on the safety helmet. ”Hold on tight, don't fall off,” said Gu Beicheng as he grabbed her arms and wrapped them around his waist.
An Xiaoning felt a little uneasy but kept her hands there, nevertheless.
The motorbike then sped off like lightning.
The engines of the motorbike roared loudly as it sped along the streets. It was An Xiaoning's first time riding a motorbike.
Her very first time indeed.
The high speed he was travelling at made the entire ride much more thrilling.
She glanced at the scenery around her and exclaimed in exhilaration, ”This is so exciting!”
”There's more to come. You'll know soon,” Gu Beicheng answered.
”Really?!”
”Yes!”
After a journey of fifteen minutes, they soon arrived at the destination. It was a vast and empty land. An Xiaoning removed her helmet and asked, ”Where are we?”
”My secret hideout,” Gu Beicheng answered, pulling her along as he made his way towards the light where an airplane was parked.
Is this his private hangar? she wondered.
An Xiaoning scanned her surroundings and said, ”It's huge. What have you got up your sleeve?”
Putting his arm around her shoulder, Gu Beicheng answered, ”A game, of course. There are people waiting for us in the jet.”
An Xiaoning seemed to have a rough idea of what the game was. ”I'm afraid of heights,” she said, rather reluctant to move forward.
”It's alright, I'm here,” Gu Beicheng insisted. An Xiaoning was then dragged onto the plane by Gu Beicheng, only to be greeted with the sight of Ye Xiaotian and Mo Li.
An Xiaoning was surprised to see Mo Li with Ye Xiaotian again, though she had heard the news of Mo Li's divorce. However, she did not know that Mo Li had gotten back together with him.
”Hello, Ms. An,” Mo Li greeted smilingly.
”Hi, Mo Li, long time no see,” said An Xiaoning as she sat down beside Gu Beicheng, facing Mo Li and Ye Xiaotian.
”I just returned. I've been wanting to see you, Ms. An. I heard from Beicheng that you had signed up for an exercise boot camp. Xiaotian wanted to gather for some fun tonight, and so Beicheng suggested we invite you to come along,” Mo Li answered while nodding.
”Are we parachuting?” An Xiaoning asked worriedly, forcing a smile.
”Wow, you're spot on, Ms. An,” Ye Xiaotian answered while clucking his tongue.
”Can I back out?”
”No.”
”How many meters above ground?” An Xiaoning asked eagerly, feeling like she was almost going to faint.
”Hmm, about four or five thousand. You'll know later, Ms. An. You will realize tonight how beautiful this world is with all the city lights bringing life to the darkness of the night,” Ye Xiaotian said with a grin.
