Although games were important to Yu Xi, God Ling’s feelings were even more important!

[I’m fine.] Jian Yiling replied.

[But Master Sheng said that he wanted to take you out for a drive to relieve your boredom. He said that he also found a human sandbag for you.]

Yu Xi told Jian Yiling Master Sheng’s original words. He assumed that Jian Yiling would decline. She didn’t seem like the person who would want to go and bash someone up.

He felt that beating someone up was way too brutal and violent. Yiling wasn’t suited for such a thing.

[Okay, let’s go.]

Jian Yiling gave a quick reply. She had almost instantly agreed to Yu Xi’s suggestion.

[Huh?]

Yu Xi felt that he had gotten slapped in the face. How did God Ling agree just like that? That wasn’t his imagined outcome!

[Let’s go.] Jian Yiling confirmed again.

Yu Xi stared at Jian Yiling’s reply for a moment. Then, he turned around and looked at Zhai Yunsheng who was seated not far away from him.

Why was he wrong again? Why was Master Sheng always right?

[Okay, okay… Wait for me. I’ll come over to pick you up.]

After Yu Xi replied, he turned around to speak to Zhai Yunsheng. “Master Sheng, God Ling agreed to come out.”

“Mhmm,” Zhai Yunsheng replied. He got up to put a coat on.

Zhai Yunsheng got ready to drive the car. Usually, Yu Xi was given the task of picking Jian Yiling up from next door.

Yu Xi touched his nose. He began to hope that Grandma Jian wouldn’t find out that he was taking Yiling outside at this time.

If Grandma Jian knew that he had secretly taken Jian Yiling outside under the guise of bringing her over to play games, he would be in deep trouble.

When Yu Xi arrived at the Old Jian Residence, he explained the reason for his visit to Grandma Jian. He successfully picked Jian Yiling up.

When he returned to the Yu Residence, Zhai Yunsheng was already waiting. He stood in front of a car.

Jian Yiling hadn’t seen the car for quite some time. That car had been green some time ago.

However, the color was now yellow.

“Get on,” Zhai Yunsheng said. He got into the driver’s seat and waited for Jian Yiling.

Jian Yiling sat down on the front passenger seat.

After fastening his seat belt, Zhai Yunsheng started the car.

He stepped on the gas pedal and the car sped off.

“What?!!!”

Before Yu Xi could react, Zhai Yunsheng had already driven away with Jian Yiling.

“I haven’t even gotten into my car yet!”

Yu Xi was incredibly frustrated. He rushed back to the garage to retrieve another car.

When he came out again, there was no sign of Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling.

“God forbid. Master Sheng, please don’t speed. God forbid. Master Sheng, please don’t speed!”

Yu Xi chanted the same line over and over again in his heart. He silently prayed for them.

As he drove, Yu Xi felt that his heart was beating at a rate of 120 per minute.

He felt that he would have a heart attack sooner than Zhai Yunsheng!

Although there were only a few cars on the road near the Old Jian and Yu Residence, the road was winding and rugged. There were several sharp turns that had to be made when driving there.

He was already driving very fast. However, he still couldn’t see the rear of Zhai Yunsheng’s car.

This made Yu Xi panic more and more.

Needless to say, Zhai Yunsheng was not suited to do things that involved too much adrenaline. His heart couldn’t handle it.

Jian Yiling wasn’t suited for such things either. What if she started crying because she got scared?

Yu Xi started imagining images of Jian Yiling screaming and crying in fright.

Twenty minutes later, Yu Xi finally arrived at his destination.

As soon as the car stopped, he ran out. When he saw Zhai Yunsheng’s car in front of him, he stumbled towards it.

Then he saw Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling. They had been calmly sitting together in the car.

Both of them appear calm and collected.

In contrast, a normal person like Yu Xi was red-faced and gasping for breath.

“I….” Yu Xi stammered. He had a lot to say but now that he saw the two of them, he didn’t know how to start.
