When Jiang Cheng and Gu Fei exited the school gates one after another, he really wanted to tell Gu Fei, I'm doing it for Gu Miao, not you.

But Gu Fei didn't turn back to look at him at all, so he didn't get the chance to say anything.

When they finally stood next to each other, there was no chance to say much either. Gu Miao was sitting on the pedestrian fence with her skateboard in her arms and legs swinging side to side.

When she spotted them approaching, she instantly jumped down and threw her board on the ground in front of her. Then with a few light jogs, she leaped onto the moving board and appeared in front of them before reaching her hands into Gu Fei's pocket, grabbing out a handful of candy.

Jiang Cheng stared, watching Gu Miao pick out only the fruit candies from the pile of candies.

These candies were actually prepared for our little friend Gu Miao on a daily basis?

Gu Miao peeled open a candy wrapper and popped it into her mouth. She then dashed out in the other direction on her skateboard, moving on the very edge of the pedestrian sidewalk - plausibly considering to not bump into other people.

Jiang Cheng could only watch from behind. Even though Gu Miao was quite agile with top-notch skills, in the end, she was still an elementary school student... yet her brother actually turned around to fetch his own bike, not even giving a single glance in her direction.

Gu Miao skated ahead for a good moment before stopping and turning around to look back at him.

"What?" Jiang Cheng hurried a few steps to catch up beside her.

Gu Miao jumped off the skateboard and moved to the side.

Jiang Cheng really wanted to say to her that 'the fight with your brother yesterday has left me sore all over', and that he had no will to skate, but seeing Gu Miao stare back at him with her large round eyes, he couldn't bring himself to disappoint her.

"Sure," he sighed, took a step onto the board, and slowly started to slide out.

Thank goodness that after a turn away from the main street onto the next street, there were fewer people.

Gu Miao ran along behind him, suddenly clapping her hand.

When he turned his head, Gu Miao ran even faster towards him, making a hand gesture as she ran, telling him to get off.

"You sure know how to play..." He understood Gu Miao's intention and jumped off the skateboard.

Gu Miao arrived beside him just in time and with a leap, she landed right on the board - borrowing energy from this moment of inertia, she zoomed out onto the street. With a few more kicks of her feet, she then turned around to look back at Jiang Cheng.

"Ah..." Jiang Cheng was really quite tired, but he still ran forward. "Why don't you ask your brother to do this sort of thing with you..."

Gu Miao jumped off the board. He immediately followed suit and jumped on the still moving board and continued down the road.

Just like this, they continued down the street one after another.

It was actually quite fun, Gu Miao didn't speak, neither did she need him to speak, he only needed to cooperate with her. The point was that her skills were superb, Jiang Cheng didn't even have to worry about the chances of her falling.
