533 Not Cute? (2/2)

”Why not? I can get a bicycle for you.” As always he was more than willing to do what she wanted. How would he dare say no to her? He'd do anything to make her happy.

”That's not the problem,” said Xiu.

”Then?”

”I can't ride a bike,” answered Xiu honestly. ”I never had a bike since no one was there to teach me as well. Neither a father nor a brother.”

Darren inexplicably couldn't help thinking about the young Xiu who would have looked longingly at other families. Biting his lips, he stood up and said, ”Wait here.”

”Huh? Where are you going now?” called out Xiu but he was already gone.

Thankfully, Xiu didn't have to wait for long since in five minutes he stood before her with a bicycle. Xiu knitted her brows at him saying, ”Baobei, I just said I can't ride it. Do you want me to fall down before all these people and make a joke out of myself? Even children will laugh at me.”

Darren patted her head saying, ”No my dearest wife. Since you can't ride it, I'll give you a ride myself.”

Xiu looked at the bicycle and pointed out, ”There is no backseat, my dearest husband!”

Darren patted at the crossbar saying, ”But we have this.”

Xiu eyed him for a while before happily jumped up saying, ”Okay!”

When Xiu sat on the crossbar, she felt a little uncomfortable but then Darren's arms went around her body to hold the handlebars and she felt safe. Now that he was keeping her safe from both sides what was there to fear?

”Sweets...”

Xiu had just turned around to hear what he had to say but her lips were immediately captured. After kissing her for a good few seconds, he pulled away and whispered, ”Hold tight.”

”You!” Xiu didn't know what to say. He was definitely taking advantage right now. Something suddenly clicked in her mind, ”You got the bicycle without the backseat on purpose, right?”

”Absolutely!” Darren replied shamelessly leaving Xiu speechless. ”It's more romantic.”

If you're going to agree to my conjectures so easily, how am I suppose to be mad at you!
