Gu Zi nodded and agreed. “Sister-in-law, it’s late today. Tomorrow morning, I’ll help you with makeup.”
Li Hua was overjoyed and promptly urged Gu Zi to go to sleep. Tomorrow, Gu Zi had a big day and couldn’t afford to lose sleep.
The next morning, Li Hua woke up before dawn. Gu Zi also opened his eyes in a daze.
On this side of the red-brick house were three bedrooms: one for Lin’s parents, one for Lin Cheng and Li Hua, and one dedicated to Gu Zi and Su Shen. Gu Zi and Lele had slept in this room,
Gu Zi retrieved her makeup bag from the stroller and first applied her own makeup, letting Li Hua watch.
Li Hua admired Gu Zits delicate, arched eyebrows and rosy lips reflected in the mirror. “Sister, you’re truly amazing!”
Gu Zi got up and guided Li Hua to sit down. “This is called an arched brow. Now let me make you amazing too, Sister-in-law.”
During breakfast, Mr. and Mrs. Lin looked at their beautiful daughter and daughter-in-law with smiles on their faces.
As they chatted, a noise akin to a mechanical hum emanated from outside, loud yet rhythmic.
At the same time, someone exclaimed, “Boss Su looks so handsome! He’s here to pick up the Lin family’s daughter to register their marriage, right?”
Gu Zi put down her utensils and walked out, a smile playing on her lips. She saw a sky-blue motorcycle speeding along the lane.
In the 80s, motorcycles were a status symbol for the wealthy, but their appearance seemed somewhat rustic by modern standards.
However, a six-foot-three handsome man riding a motorcycle was a sight to behold. He wore a helmet, exuding a dashing aura. His robust physique conveyed immense strength, transforming the rustic bike into a cool, modern machine.
Gu Zi was captivated. When he approached and enveloped her small hand entirely in his, Gu Zi finally regained her senses.
Were they holding hands in public? Gu Zi’s heart raced.
Su Shen said to her parents, “Could you kindly take care of Lele for us? Today,
I’d like to go with Gu Zi alone.”
Her parents nodded repeatedly. “Sure, Lele has gotten used to us. You both focus on what needs to be done!”
Su Shen led Gu Zi towards the gleaming motorcycle, and everyone who passed by stared.
Until the motorcycle’s roar echoed again, onlookers watched as the blue streak darted away.
On the road, Gu Zi held onto Su Shen’s waist tightly, feeling a bit nervous about this form of transportation that left the human body completely exposed to the surroundings.
Moreover, Su Shen was riding quite fast, making her feel like they were flying on the road.
She couldn’t imagine that the seemingly cold and aloof older man would have such an adrenaline-pumping hobby. And it looked pretty cool and handsome!
Seemingly sensing her tension, Su Shen said, “If you’re scared, press your face against my back and close your eyes.”
Gu Zi obediently did so. The man’s broad and sturdy back felt comfortable against her face, almost like a massage.
In her mind’s eye, every muscle on his back appeared sculpted and appealing, evoking hormones almost overflowing.
She couldn’t help but ask, “Su Shen, were you wild in your youth?”
Seeing him riding the motorcycle made her feel like she was seeing a different side of Su Shen.
He replied casually, “I spent most of my youth in the army. We used to call motorcycles ‘iron horses.’ Once, I rode the army officer’s iron horse through dense forests, killing dozens of enemy vanguards.”
Gu Zi was taken aback. That was no ordinary madness and thrill! She hurriedly asked, “What happened after that?”
“Later, the officer reprimanded me. He acknowledged my military achievements but punished me with thirty military lashes. I couldn’t get out of bed for a week.”
His tone was calm, as if he were talking about someone else, and Gu Zi’s grip around his waist tightened even more.
However, she wasn’t as scared as she was initially. Gradually, she began to reach out and feel the wind.
For the first time, Gu Zi felt enveloped by nature, experiencing a pleasant and liberating sensation..
