However, the surroundings were eerily quiet, with only her helpless voice echoing through the woods. Qian Mengmeng clutched the bicycle handlebars tightly, and suddenly a face flashed through her mind. She shut her eyes tightly and shouted loudly: "Pei Haochuan! Pei the Great Genius! Save me!"

Her calf was scratched by a branch, and a bit of blood oozed out. However, Qian Mengmeng, who had just escaped from the brink of death, did not pay it any mind. She sat dazed in the grass, looking at Pei Haochuan, and after a long while, she finally found her voice: "You, you actually came!"

As soon as Qian Mengmeng finished speaking, a sudden force grabbed her, pulling her entire body off the bicycle. Instinctively, she opened her eyes and saw the bicycle heading straight for the lake, with a "thud" it fell into the water

In fact, Qian Mengmeng called his name purely out of instinct, not expecting that he would really come to save her. She looked at his bleeding lips and felt an inexplicable sense of guilt in her heart, cautiously asking: "Are you okay?"

Today is a workday, and it is also the agreed-upon rest time. Qian Mengmeng walked out of the coffee shop, facing the midday sun. In order to complete an assignment during her lunch break, she rode a shared bicycle parked nearby

Qian Mengmeng was bewildered by the glare she received, suddenly realizing that Mi Su seemed not to be angry because of Pei Haochuan's injury, but rather harbored an inexplicable hostility towards her. She rubbed her aching knee, sat down on the steps where Pei Haochuan had previously been, looked up at the blue sky with a wisp of white cloud drifting by, and murmured to herself: "It's only been a few days since I became a personal assistant, how can things be so clear-cut now"

Pei Haochuan licked his lips, only to find his mouth filled with an unbearable taste of rust. He looked at Qian Mengmeng, who was curled up beside him, and could not understand how he had been so bewitched at that moment, rushing over to save her without a second thought, which had led to his current miserable state

"Ah, Haochuan, wait for me!" Misu stamped her foot, shot a fierce glare at Qian Mengmeng, and then chased after him

Having spoken, he turned around and left without any hesitation

The school is not far from the coffee shop. Qian Mengmeng rode her bike, with dappled sunlight filtering through the tree shadows onto her cheeks, bringing a sense of comfort and ease. She rode through the garden, where the roses bloomed abundantly and vibrantly. However, when she looked up, she saw two familiar figures standing face to face in the garden, seemingly engaged in conversation.

Since taking care of the sick Pei Haochuan, Qian Mengmeng's life has become much easier. Every day, she merely runs errands and buys things for him. Perhaps out of fear that the incident of seeking shelter during the heavy rain at midnight might happen again, he has not asked her to do this or that in the middle of the night for several days.

Pei Haochuan had just sprinted 100 meters, nearly out of breath, and had even acted as a cushion to protect Qian Mengmeng. His whole body was aching, and his lips had been cut by his own teeth

No need. "Pei Haochuan was about to refuse when suddenly, a girl rushed in front of him: "Oh my God! Haochuan, how did you get such a serious injury?"

She screamed loudly: "Help! Who, who will come to save me?"

He sighed, took the cotton swab from Qian Mengmeng's hand, casually dabbed it on the wound on his lip, and calmly said: "Alright, my wound has been disinfected, you no longer need to feel guilty, nor do you need to follow me anymore, we are even."

Indeed ... If it were not for the brake failure, Pei Haochuan should still be in the small garden chatting with Mi Su now

As she spoke, Qian Mengmeng felt a blur before her eyes, and was forcefully pushed aside by someone, falling unprepared to the ground. She covered the wound from the fall and saw Mi Su, dressed in a snow-white long dress, occupying her original position. On her beautiful face was a look of deep concern, as she repeatedly tried to reach out and touch Pei Haochuan's face: "How could it be this serious? You are too kind! You just casually helped a girl in need without a second thought!"

Mi Su, having shed her previous gentle demeanor from their first encounter in the infirmary, angrily accused Qian Mengmeng: "And why did you not call anyone else, but specifically called Hao Chuan to save you? I don't think you two knew each other before, did you? Do you have ulterior motives? Or are you deliberately pretending that your bicycle's brakes are broken, trying to attract Hao Chuan's attention?"

The car not only did not stop, but instead raced wildly down the slope towards the garden. Qian Mengmeng widened her eyes... Wait a minute! The end of this slope leads to the school lake!

He replied irritably: "Didn’t you ask me to save you? Yet you gave me such an unpleasant title."

Seeing that he was silent, Qian Mengmeng rummaged through her pocket and only found a band-aid and a small pack of cotton swabs. She awkwardly stood up and reached out to him: "How about I take you to the infirmary? Your wound needs to be disinfected"

Qian Mengmeng was left speechless ... ! ... What on earth are these words? ! Can it be any more nonsensical ... ? Deliberately pretending that the bicycle's brakes are broken ... ... Is this risking one's life for attention? Moreover, if Pei Haochuan feels angry and scolds her, that would be one thing, but what right does Mi Su have to say such things?

If you can't ride a bike, then don't ride one! Why drag others down with you? Look at how Haochuan has changed because of you

"Enough, that's enough!" Pei Haochuan lowered his voice, furrowing his brow to stop Mi Su from continuing her words. Seeing Qian Mengmeng bow her head in grievance, a surge of anger inexplicably rose within him, though he could not discern the reason behind it

Hello! I said, do you have a persecution complex...

Thinking of this, Qian Mengmeng's inner anger dissipated. She lowered her head and guiltily admitted: "I am sorry, Pei Haochuan's injury is all because of me..."

"Oh? Isn't that Pei Haochuan and Mi Su?" Qian Mengmeng instinctively pressed the brake, but to her surprise, the brake of this shared bicycle was actually broken
