Chapter 225 Another Missed Chance to Confess
The corners of Jiang Mubai's well-defined lips rose slightly, outlining a slightly teasing arc: "Didn't I tell you to sit still a long time ago?" Before he finished speaking, he stepped on the accelerator again without hesitation, and the motorcycle rushed out like a wild horse.
Qiao Jingyu, who was sitting in the back seat, was startled by the sudden acceleration. She subconsciously hugged Jiang Mubai's waist tightly again. Because of nervousness and fear, she couldn't help but shout loudly: "I already told you to drive slower, why are you still driving so fast!" However, her words were wrapped in the helmet, which seemed a little muffled. Coupled with the whistling wind, her voice became unclear, like a wisp of light smoke drifting in the wind.
"Huh? What did you say just now?" Jiang Mubai obviously didn't hear Qiao Jingyu's call clearly. He turned his head and asked loudly.
Seeing this, Qiao Jingyu quickly put her head close to Jiang Mubai's shoulder and almost shouted at the top of her voice: "Can you drive slower?"
Hearing this, Jiang Mubai simply responded: "No!"
"What? Why not?" Qiao Jingyu was full of doubts and frowned.
"I just won't drive slower!" Jiang Mubai answered in a louder voice, with a hint of stubbornness in his tone.
Time passed by minute by minute, and after about twenty minutes, the motorcycle finally stopped slowly in front of the Duan Building. Qiao Jingyu got off the motorcycle as if relieved, and felt her legs go weak, and her whole body seemed to have lost its center of gravity. She hurriedly took off the helmet on her head and stuffed it into Jiang Mubai's hand. She didn't even have time to look at him, and walked quickly into the building without looking back.
"Hey, wait!" Seeing Qiao Jingyu leaving in such a hurry, Jiang Mubai hurriedly called out to her.
Qiao Jingyu turned around with an angry look on her face and said unhappily, "What are you trying to do now, you guy?"
Jiang Mubai placed the cool helmet on his palm in a casual manner, and then stepped off the motorcycle with a neat movement. Perhaps because he had just taken off the helmet, his black and shiny hair was a little messy, but this did not affect the "temperament" of a dandy boy that he exuded - unrestrained and casual, as if he didn't care about anything in the world, and his whole body revealed an irresistible sense of unruliness.
Jiang Mubai strode up to Qiao Jingyu, frowned slightly, and asked, "Are you really my uncle's girlfriend?"
Qiao Jingyu didn't even bother to look at him, and still responded in that unfriendly tone: "Does this have anything to do with you?"
After hearing this, Jiang Mubai just glanced at her calmly, then quickly looked away, muttering, "Well, it really doesn't matter."
"Since you know very well that there is nothing between us, why are you asking so many questions?" Qiao Jingyu crossed her arms in front of her chest and glared at Jiang Mubai angrily.
Hearing this, Jiang Mubai raised the corner of his mouth slightly, raised one eyebrow, and said provocatively: "Sister, are you angry? I didn't provoke you, but you are talking so harshly as if you had eaten dynamite!"
Qiao Jingyu thought to herself, humph, this motorcycle was almost flying just now, the more I told him to ride slower, the more he accelerated. Isn't it obvious that he is deliberately making things difficult for me? If I had known this, I would never have taken him for a ride! At this moment, Qiao Jingyu's heart was still like fifteen buckets of water - up and down, and it took a long time to calm down.
Qiao Jingyu was too lazy to argue with him, "Are you okay? If not, I'll leave."
Jiang Mubai was silent for two seconds, then asked, "What do you like about my uncle?"
"I like him because he is handsome, mature, stable, and powerful. Is that okay?"
Jiang Mubai looked at Qiao Jingyu coldly for a few seconds, "Superficial woman." Then he turned around, got on the motorcycle, fastened his helmet, stepped on the accelerator, and disappeared from Qiao Jingyu's sight in a buzz.
Qiao Jingyu curled her lips, what a psychopath, and turned to walk into the building. She was superficial, what did it have to do with him.
After walking a few steps, Qiao Jingyu suddenly remembered, didn't Jiang Mubai say he was here to see his third brother? Why did he just leave like that?
Qiao Jingyu originally planned to ask Feng Bo to help pass the carefully selected tie to Duan Yuchen. However, ever since Duan Yuchen regarded the passionate kiss in the KTV as just a game, Qiao Jingyu's heart seemed to be severely hurt, and she began to distance herself from Duan Yuchen intentionally or unintentionally.
She thought that since she had clearly understood that Duan Yuchen did not have that special feeling for her, continuing to pester him would only make her sink deeper and deeper and unable to extricate herself. As her father said, one should not tie oneself up in knots, and she decided to cut off this thought that should not exist. Although reason told her that she should do so, every time she saw Duan Yuchen's handsome face, Qiao Jingyu's heart would beat faster involuntarily, and the irrepressible emotion would always surge into her heart like a tide, making her almost lose control of her emotions. So, in order to avoid falling into deeper pain, Qiao Jingyu chose to escape and minimize contact with Duan Yuchen.
When Qiao Jingyu looked for Feng Bo with great expectations and asked him to help pass the tie to Duan Yuchen, she didn't expect Feng Bo to smile and refuse her request. Feng Bo raised his mouth slightly and said in a teasing tone: "Miss Qiao, there is a special meaning for a woman to give a man a tie. It means that she wants to hold him tightly! So, it's really inconvenient for me to do this for you." After hearing what Feng Bo said, Qiao Jingyu's cheeks flushed instantly, like a ripe apple. She felt extremely embarrassed and even felt that her toes were about to dig out a three-bedroom apartment on the ground.
Qiao Jingyu took out her cell phone and called her good friend Mu Xuefei. As soon as the call was connected, she started to complain into the microphone: "Fei Fei, you've killed me, do you know that? Today was so embarrassing! I originally wanted Feng Bo to help me send the tie to Duan Yuchen, but he actually told me that when a woman gives a man a tie it means she wants to trap him..."
Mu Xuefei, on the other hand, felt sorry for Qiao Jingyu for not giving out the gift, and said that she had missed another opportunity to confess her love.
Qiao Jingyu returned home in the evening. There will be a 4.1-magnitude earthquake tomorrow. Although it is not particularly serious, she should still tell her father and grandmother so that they will not be unprepared and panic.
At the dinner table, Qiao Jingyu spoke out the words she had prepared in advance, "Dad, the mother of one of my classmates works at the Meteorological Bureau. She said there might be an earthquake in Jicheng tomorrow. You and grandma..."
"What? There's an earthquake." Han Shuqin panicked immediately after hearing this. "What should we do? Will our house collapse? Will the ground crack? What should we do? Where can we hide?"
"Grandma, don't panic. My classmate said it's just a possibility, and the predicted earthquake won't be very big. In order not to cause panic, it wasn't reported. Our house won't collapse, and the ground won't crack. At most, there will be some cracks on the top of some old houses, and the hanging lights will shake a little. Everything else will be fine!"
