'Don't stand there, get in the bicycle, get in the bicycle."
'… Why are you coming again?"
Elliot smiled brightly: 'Why can't I come?"
It wasn't that he couldn't come, but she completely didn't expect that after experiencing yesterday, he would still appear in front of her.
Elliot had a tall figure, one foot on the ground, one foot on the pedal, stretched out his long arms, pulled the woman closer to him, and then pressed her down on the back seat.
Ashley wanted to stand up.
'Don't move, if you fall, I don't care." As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped on the pedals hard, and the bicycle carrying Ashley moved forward. Ashley originally wanted to stand up, but she didn't have time to prepare for the bicycle to move. By inertia, she fell onto the back seat of the bicycle, unconsciously reaching out, tightly clinging to Elliot's strong waist.
She was very confused in her mind, what was wrong with this person?
"I can walk by myself." Ashley's hoarse voice rang out.
In front, a voice immediately rang out: "No."
A moment passed.
"Elliot, didn't we talk yesterday?"
The person in front groaned and said: "What did we talk about yesterday? Why don't I know?"
Friends... If this continues, we won't be able to talk anymore. Ashley's heart was a little broken... Why couldn't this person act normally?
"... Then do you know what I should do?" And he pulled her onto the bike?
She glanced at the bike again, still not understanding why, Elliot didn't look like someone who liked cycling.
"Let's go eat first, let me see, I know a pretty good restaurant."
Ashley was about to go crazy... Not only did this person not act normally, he also asked one thing and answered another.
"I don't like cycling."
"Don't lie to me. Who saw a couple riding a bicycle yesterday, and your eyes were red?" Elliot said: 'Ashley, I know, this must be the memory of you and Milan in the past. Your eyes can't deceive anyone."
Ashley was embarrassed, on the contrary, she didn't know how to continue.
Elliot monologued: 'It doesn't matter if you don't accept me in the future, pursuing a girl is a waste of time and effort, Ashley, let me tell you, this is the first time I've seriously pursued a girl.
If I don't do well or don't do it right, and make you feel dissatisfied, I hope you will understand. Who said I'm inexperienced?"
"Elliot, we're just customers and..."
"I understand what you mean," Elliot muttered, interrupting the woman sitting behind him: "Just think of me as a customer. I'm fine with anything."
Ashley blinked, the helplessness in her eyes was obvious.
She didn't know if Elliot did it on purpose or not, but his cycling speed, was not slow at all, Ashley had thought about jumping off, but she was a little scared.
After about a minute, Elliot turned left, leading her, and the bicycle turned into a small alley.
Looking out, the alley was very deep, Ashley hurriedly asked: "Where do you want to take me?"
"Shh." His gentle voice rang out: "Almost there." After speaking, the bike turned again, stopping in front of a flower wall. Her eyes were full of surprise, Elliot quickly got off the bike, "This is the back door, the last time I came, I always went through the front door, don't look at this deserted and narrow back door, the front door is extremely crowded."
Hearing this, Ashley didn't want to get off the bike anymore.
Her butt seemed to be stuck to the saddle, Elliot frowned, looking at her somewhat childish actions at this moment… 'Get off the bike, you're just sitting on the bike, it's useless."
'I won't." She blinked, her hands tightly hugging the bike seat under her butt.
Elliot almost laughed, but he knew that if he laughed now, this woman would immediately turn into a prickly hedgehog, and then curl up, making him not dare to get close again.
'Not going out?" His handsome forehead, there was a suspicious hint of anger, but just a hint, he immediately regained his calm and determined look, even if no one could see his suspicious expression just now.
'I'm not hungry." She didn't want to go in anyway.
'I'm hungry."
'Then you go in, I can go back by myself."
'Ashley, two options, one is you get off the bike yourself and go inside to eat. Two is I carry you off the bike, carry you inside to eat"
..." Ashley's expression was not good, she didn't want to go inside. Now all the places related to the word 'crowded" were the places she didn't want to go to the most, who knew, she might run into one or two old acquaintances here?
She didn't want to face them, wasn't that okay?
'Let's go to Uncle Kai's house to eat beef noodles." She bit her lip, feeling guilty that Elliot didn't agree, so she endured the pain and added, "I'll treat."
Elliot immediately turned his face to the side... He was really afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold back his laughter anymore, so he turned his face to the side, chuckled for a while, and then turned his head back, deliberately speaking slowly to Ashley, "Oh? You treat?" His voice was slow, and sounded a little itchy: "Eat beef noodles?"
At this moment, Ashley no longer felt happy... What about beef noodles?
"If you don't eat, forget it." Ashley immediately slid off the bike, turned around, and walked out, but her arm was suddenly grabbed by someone from behind: "Eat, who said I don't eat, beef noodles are so delicious, it's my favorite dish. Come on, let's go to Uncle Kai's house now."
Elliot didn't care, he pulled Ashley back with one hand, then pressed her onto the back seat of the bicycle. "Don't think you can avoid paying, you said, treat me to a bowl of beef noodles." He was afraid she would run away.
The bicycle entered a small alley again, the red bricks on the walls on both sides of the alley, lined with rows of white, pink, and yellow wallflowers, the bicycle moved between the two flower walls, the wind blew, Ashley's bangs flew up, revealing the rough scar inside, she sat down on the back seat of the bicycle, her mind was in chaos.
The pink, white, and yellow wallflowers flashed by, Ashley suddenly raised her head, looked up at the tall figure in front, blinked...
Didn't he drag her out to eat? Why did she invite him to dinner in the end?
