"Son, you can ride my bike to school, I'll go to work with the shuttle bus."

An old-fashioned bicycle was parked in front of Bai Luo Yin and You Qi, Bai Luo Yin gripped the handlebars then called You Qi, "Get on."

"I'll give you a ride, it's been a long time for me since the last time I rode a bike, I want to try."

"Can you do it?" Bai Luo Yin had some doubts.

You Qi pounded his own chest, "No problem."

Bai Luo Yin sat, half-believing and half-doubting, when You Qi started to pedal with his foot, the bike began to sway violently. Bai Luo Yin's body swayed left and right too, following the bike's movement. He saw a drainage ditch in front of them, so Bai Luo Yin swiftly jumped down from the bike, he wanted to grab the rear kickstand but he couldn't, so You Qi drove himself into the ditch.

Fortunately, the ditch wasn't wide, so the bike didn't fall into the ditch, but the firm handlebars stabbed that sturdy, solid lower part of You Qi.

When Bai Luo Yin came over towards You Qi, he crossed his legs while crouching on the ground, with a painful expression upon his face.

"I said that I'll drive you, but you still insist to try it, does it hurt badly?"

You Qi waved his hand, "Don't talk to me yet."

Bai Luo Yin found it both funny and embarrassing.

Finally, Bai Luo Yin helped the injured You Qi to get up and continued to ride the bike.

Gu Hai had been staying at his aunt's luxurious house for these past two days. Because it's quite far from the school, he planned to move there for a few days and then move out, to take a look at the interior design of the house nearby China World Trade Center. If he's satisfied with it, then he intend to move back by himself from now on.

The taxi was driving smoothly on the road, the scenery outside the window changed at every step.

Soon enough, it passed through the road towards the school.

He hadn't seen Bai Luo Yin for the whole two days, Gu Hai continuously restrained the secret longing that welled up inside his heart. He went to school as if nothing had happened, he went back to his aunt's house as if nothing had happened, as if there's nothing different in his life, even though the reality is definitely far from it.

The car stopped at the intersection, Gu Hai saw Aunt Zou's store from the window, it was full of customers. Aunt Zhou's silhouette could be faintly seen from the gap between the door curtains. It's only been two days, but Gu Hai already misses Aunt Zou's home-cooked food, just by sitting in the car, he could smell the sweet fragrance gradually entering the car, floating in the air.

"We're almost arrived." The driver reminded Gu Hai to prepare the money.

Gu Hai quickly searching for small change, and when he was about to give it to the driver, he saw two people from outside the window.

Bai Luo Yin was with You Qi, they were talking and laughing, while pushing the bike together, passing through the school gate.

Flames of anger started to burn in Gu Hai's heart, pain and wrath intertwined inside his mind. He stared at Bai Luo Yin's back firmly, he stared at Bai Luo Yin's face that looked as if nothing had happened, his unconstrained feelings once again attacked his entire body. So, it turns out that the one who feels unhappy is only me, the one who cares is only me, I'm just a companion to him, nothing more, even if I'm replaced with someone else, it's still the same for him.
