The moment Zhu Bufan looked up, he noticed Jiang Xinying's pretty eyes fixated on him, seemingly lost in thought and rather enchanted.

"Hey! Girl, what are you thinking about?"

Zhu Bufan gently nudged Jiang Xinying's delicate body and asked with a chuckle.

"I... It's nothing, nothing!"

Regaining her composure, Jiang Xinying's cheeks turned inexplicably red, and she cast a shy glance at Zhu Bufan before quickly responding.

Seeing this, Zhu Bufan couldn't help but let out a snicker. This girl couldn't possibly have a crush on him, could she? Staring at him for so long.

"Your foot is injured, don't move around in the back. I'll drive!"

With that, Zhu Bufan sat down in the driver's seat, ready to start the car.

But at the moment he tried to start it, he discovered there was a problem with the car.

"No way, such bad luck! Damn!"

Zhu Bufan cursed under his breath and went to open the hood to check on the problem.

Earlier, although Zhu Bufan had destroyed all the cameras inside, going back to drive the car out now might draw unnecessary trouble.

"What's wrong? Zhu Bufan!"

Seeing Zhu Bufan open the hood, Jiang Xinying was somewhat surprised.

Could it be that the car had broken down?

If that was the case, wouldn't they have to walk back to the villa complex? How late would it be by the time they got back? Jiang Xinying couldn't help feeling a bit down.

"Beep beep!"

Right at that moment, Jiang Xinying's phone began to vibrate.

She instinctively picked up the phone and saw that it was Li Kexin calling.

Jiang Xinying immediately pressed the answer button. As soon as she did, Li Kexin's concerned and anxious voice came through, "Yingying, where are you now? Are you alright? It's so late! Why haven't you come back?"

Li Kexin was very anxious, clearly worried about Jiang Xinying and Zhu Bufan, "Right, is Zhu Bufan with you? Why hasn't he come back either?"

"Yes, he's with me. We'll be back soon, don't worry!"

Jiang Xinying hurriedly reassured her, moved by Li Kexin's concerned voice, and then asked, "By the way, has my cousin come back?"

"She hasn't arrived home yet, probably busy with company stuff. But I guess she'll be back soon!"

Li Kexin replied.

"That's good, we'll hurry back as soon as possible!"

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xinying quickly asked Zhu Bufan, "Zhu Bufan, is the car still drivable?"

After some tinkering, Zhu Bufan realized the engine was broken and shook his head, "It's broken, we can't continue!"

Zhu Bufan felt somewhat helpless. Even though he was proficient in many areas, he couldn't do anything about a broken car engine without any repair tools.

"Ah! How could we be so unlucky!"

Jiang Xinying was on the verge of tears, feeling aggrieved, "My ankle is also sprained, what should we do?"

"Well..."

Zhu Bufan was also a bit troubled. Now that they were out in the suburbs, far from the city, even the idea of commandeering another car seemed extremely difficult.

Jiang Xinying took a glance at Zhu Bufan's strong shoulders, her eyes twinkled, and with a mischievous giggle, she said, "Zhu Bufan, I've thought of a great idea. Carry me back home!"

"Give me a break!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Bufan was left speechless.

To walk back from here would take at least half an hour.

Before Zhu Bufan could respond, Jiang Xinying had already grabbed his arm, pulling him back to the parking space, and then, she tightly clasped his neck with her delicate hands and leaped onto his back.

Feeling a pair of jade hands and the soft mounds on his shoulder, Zhu Bufan couldn't help but be flooded with memories.

He remembered, three years ago, when he and Liu Ximeng were on a mission together and Liu Ximeng accidentally got injured. Without hesitation, Zhu Bufan carried Liu Ximeng on his back for more than two hours on the mountainous road.

Despite the exhaustion, Zhu Bufan felt so joyful, so wonderful.

At that time, Liu Ximeng told him that his shoulders and chest were the safest and warmest place in the whole world.

But all of that can't be returned to now.

Zhu Bufan really hoped that one day he could see Liu Ximeng again, have her come up to him, jump onto his shoulders, hug him tightly, and say to him: "I love you!"

"What is Zhu Bufan thinking about?"

Jiang Xinying lightly patted Zhu Bufan's shoulder and, seeing him a little lost in thought, couldn't help but ask.

"It's nothing, just reminiscing about some past events!"

Zhu Bufan smile lightly, nonchalantly shaking his head.

Hearing this, Jiang Xinying's thoughts drifted to the time at the KTV when Zhu Bufan had such a heartbroken expression.

This jerk, does he really have his own sad past?

Looking at Zhu Bufan's solid shoulders, Jiang Xinying was somewhat puzzled, feeling that Zhu Bufan was becoming more mysterious.

He must be a man with a story, right?

Although Zhu Bufan usually seems a bit rogue-like and careless, in Jiang Xinying's eyes, he must be hiding some story from her.

Watching Zhu Bufan's figure, Jiang Xinying's heart gained a bit of a desire to explore.

But for the time being, Jiang Xinying didn't want to care too much about all that.

"Giddy up!!"

Leaning on Zhu Bufan's shoulder, Jiang Xinying waved her jade hand and gave a solid pat on Zhu Bufan's shoulder, as if she was an ancient princess riding a horse.

"Come on, you little stinker, you don't treat me like a person at all!"

Zhu Bufan chuckled bitterly, but then reached out his hand and gently patted Jiang Xinying's buttocks.

Slap!

The crisp slap echoed on the empty road.

Feeling her butt smacked hard by Zhu Bufan, Jiang Xinying's face blushed and her heart raced, her cheeks turning crimson, "You jerk, you dared to hit my butt again! See how I'll deal with you!"

Recalling their previous encounter, the first time they met, Zhu Bufan had hit her butt, Jiang Xinying's cheeks reddened even more.

Just as she finished speaking, Jiang Xinying opened her mouth and bit down on Zhu Bufan's shoulder.

"Ah!"

Zhu Bufan immediately let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered, glanced sideways, and saw a trace of blood seeping from his shoulder, he couldn't help but bitterly laugh: "Are you a dog?"

"Humph! You guessed right, I am indeed a dog! Haha!"

Jiang Xinying laughed triumphantly, snorting.

"Come on, you really are a dog!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Bufan was speechless.

"Tsk, you're the dog, I'm just making a joke. I'm just leaving a special mark on your shoulder, remember that! From now on, you are my exclusive mount! Without my permission, no one else can ride you!"

Jiang Xinying hummed lightly, like a queen, very domineering.

"Ride? Isn't that a bit evil?"

Zhu Bufan couldn't help but turn around to look at her, chuckling to himself.

Does she want to ride on top of me?

Thinking this, Zhu Bufan smirked and said, "So, Yingying, do you want to ride on top of me, or underneath?"
