Jiang Cheng didn't know just what Gu Fei's "favourite thing to eat" that he was taking him to was, and he didn't ask either. He wasn't even in the mood to eat at the moment. Anything he ate would probably taste the same anyway.

He only came to find Gu Fei because he didn't want to be alone.

He didn't want to go back, didn't want to see Li Baoguo, didn't want to know what he looked like after getting beaten up, didn't want to hear Li Baoguo's reason for the whole ordeal, didn't want this, didn't want that... just a multitude of "didn't want". It was enough to fill his originally empty mind, and there wasn't anything he could do to stop it.

Plus, in this city, aside from Li Baoguo's place and the school, the only other place he could go to was Gu Fei's shop. It was pretty sad when he thought about it, but there wasn't anything he could do.

Gu Fei tidied up the shop a bit and shut the door, "Wait for me a bit, I'm going to get the ride."

"Oh." Jiang Cheng wanted to ask whether it was a bike or motorcycle since it was so cold out that he really wasn't that keen on riding it if it was a motorcycle. He would rather walk if that was the case, however, Gu Fei had already walked straight into the small alley next to the shop.

Whatever then, just how cold could it be? The Spring Basketball Competition was coming soon, so thinking along that line, it was already spring.

How marvellous.

The sound of a motor resounded from the small alleyway, but that sound seemed rather weak in comparison to Gu Fei's 250cc motorcycle.[1]

Just when Jiang Cheng was growing a little confused, a small cornmeal-coloured car[2] that resembled a bun or even a mini bun drilled out of the alleyway.

Jiang Cheng watched, a little stupefied, as the 'bun' teetered to a stop in front of him. He then opened the door to the small vehicle.

"Hop in," Gu Fei called out as he looked at him from inside the small bun.

"What... is this thing?" Jiang Cheng stared at the car. If he was seeing things correctly, this should be a small version of an elderly's scooter.

"A car ah," Gu Fei replied. "It can block the wind and rain, and even run on gas, much, much better than the ones that run on battery."

"... oh." Jiang Cheng walked over and stood beside the car door, then stared for a long time. "How the hell do I get in?"

Gu Fei glanced behind him and got out of the car, "You can... crawl in first."

Jiang Cheng was a little hesitant. Gu Fei then added, "Even if I drive a beetle, you'd still have to crawl in if you want to get in the back right?"

"If it was a beetle I would be sitting in the co-pilot, okay?!" Jiang Cheng retorted.

"Hurry up," Gu Fei took out his phone and checked the time, "His family's shop closes at nine."

Jiang Cheng had to squeeze into a space that was one foot wide between the door and the driver's seat. His injury was throbbing, and the intensifying pain left him on the verge of tears.

He had seen old men use this thing to take their wives out to play; just how did those old ladies get in?

After he sat down, Gu Fei reached out and pulled down the back of the driver's seat, "Couldn't you have just pulled this down?"

Jiang Cheng stared at the much wider space that appeared in just a short amount of time and suddenly had the impulse to get out of the car and smack Gu Fei. He pointed at him, "You shut up."
