Hearing this, Su Yang was first taken aback, then he tentatively called out: "Qianyu? Are you asleep?"
After calling twice with no response from Meng Qianyu, Su Yang listened carefully to her heartbeat. It was normal, not like she was pretending to be asleep.
'Seems she really is asleep, this girl~'
'Right, today seems to be the last day for Mission One. Qianyu's favorability is already at 100, now it's just Xiao Su left.'
—System, what's Xiao Su's current favorability?
【85】
—85, still 15 points short. Only half a day and a bit more left. Forget it, let nature take its course.
—If I can get the reward, great. If not, I won't force it.
"Yang Ge!!"
While Su Yang was thinking, Liu Bo, who was about twenty meters ahead, stopped his bike and turned to shout at him.
Su Yang looked up and replied: "What's up?"
"Yang Ge, damn, I see those two guys' cars from before."
"Huh?" Su Yang sped up to reach Liu Bo's side and asked: "Where?"
"On that road ahead running crosswise. Look, is that them?" Liu Bo said, pointing forward.
Su Yang now also saw two Porsche 718s parked on a road running crosswise about a hundred meters away.
Seeing the cars, the corner of Su Yang's mouth lifted in a smile. "Yeah, that's those two guys' cars."
"Hahaha, just when we were getting bored. Yang Ge, come on, let's go mess with them a bit."
"Alright." As Su Yang said this, he looked at Meng Wenzhou beside him: "Old Meng, Qianyu's asleep. You ride my bike."
Meng Wenzhou looked at Meng Qianyu sleeping on Su Yang's back and gave a helpless smile: "Okay. But you guys should still take it easy, don't beat them up too badly."
Su Yang nodded: "Don't worry, I'm always someone who tries reasoning first. I only resort to force if they don't listen."
"Good." Meng Wenzhou said, parking his bike and walking over to Su Yang. He patted Meng Qianyu's shoulder: "Qianyu~ wake up."
"Hmm?? Don't bother me, I'm so sleepy, let me sleep a bit~"
"You have to let go first." Meng Wenzhou said, removing Meng Qianyu's arms from around Su Yang.
Seizing the chance, Su Yang got off the bike. Then Meng Wenzhou got on, and Meng Qianyu went right back to sleep, this time hugging Meng Wenzhou.
"Does Qianyu sleep this heavily?"
"This girl is probably worn out from playing. Don't let her usual lively, energetic appearance fool you. Once she falls asleep, she's very hard to wake up."
Meng Wenzhou tilted his head to glance at Meng Qianyu with a touch of doting affection: "Qianyu is already twenty-three, but deep down she's probably still a teenager, a bit willful. There are many times when there's just no dealing with her."
"But in some situations, she can be very sensible and strong."
Su Yang looked at Meng Qianyu: "I think that's mainly due to her experience of growing up abroad. Being alone in a foreign country for a long time forces you to become strong inside, to hide a lot of your emotions."
"Now that she's back home, she's naturally showing the most genuine side of her inner self."
Meng Wenzhou nodded in strong agreement: "Right, that's exactly it."
"Yang Ge, Meng Ge, stop chatting. If you keep talking, those two guys might run off." Liu Bo urged impatiently from the side.
Su Yang nodded and looked at Meng Wenzhou: "You guys ride ahead first. It's about time for lunch anyway."
He then looked at Ji Bo: "Xiao Ji, you all go ahead to the village up front and find a restaurant. Fatty and I will catch up soon."
"Got it."
The group set off first.
Pan Ning and Su Qingci came over and glanced at Su Yang: "Hurry up."
"Got it, you go ahead."
"Mm."
"Su Yang Ge, teach those two a good lesson. They actually dared to curse at you when they left earlier." Su Qingci said to Su Yang with a wink and a smile.
"Will do."
After everyone else had left, Su Yang and Liu Bo exchanged a look.
"Let's go."
With that, the two got on their bikes and stealthily headed towards the area where the blonde and the grey-haired guy were.
When they were about thirty or forty meters away,
Su Yang and Liu Bo parked their bikes by the roadside, then with perfect tacit understanding, jumped into the rice paddies beside the road and proceeded forward, crouching low.
"Wait, Yang Ge? Why does this feel like we're sneaking around?"
"Stop the nonsense. They're driving sports cars. If they see us, how are our little e-bikes supposed to catch up?"
"Oh, oh, right!"
"Those two guys got a beating from me earlier, they're probably scared of me now. We have to sneak up on them."
"Got it~"
"Eh? Wait, they shouldn't know me, right? Why do I have to sneak too?"
Liu Bo tilted his head to look at Su Yang.
Su Yang thought for a moment and said: "Ah, well, we're already down here, might as well keep going~"
"Fine then."
With that, the two continued crouching and sneaking towards the crossroad ahead.
At that moment, on the crossroad, the blonde and the grey-haired guy were holding their phones, smiling as they took pictures of two girls posing with their cars.
"Eh~ yes, yes, just like that. Mm-hmm, beautiful!"
"Xiao Qing, tilt your head a bit to the left, yes. Si Si, turn a bit towards Xiao Qing, yes, get closer, that looks better."
"Okay, don't move, hold that pose."
The blonde was half-squatting, holding his phone sideways to photograph the two girls standing in the middle of the road ahead.
"Okay, change to another pose."
"Come, you two sit by the roadside here, hands on the ground, looking up at the sky."
"The ground is so dirty." The girl called Xiao Qing said somewhat reluctantly.
"Ah, what does it matter? If you want good photos, don't be afraid of getting a little dirty~"
"Fine then." The two said, walking to the roadside, sitting down, and following the blonde's instructions to pose.
The grey-haired guy squatted beside the blonde, giving pointers.
By now, Su Yang and Liu Bo had reached the roadside. They quietly climbed onto the road, hiding behind the cars and peeking out.
They saw that all four—the blonde, the grey-haired guy, and the two girls—had their backs to them.
Su Yang and Liu Bo exchanged a look and smiled. Su Yang whispered: "Shh, I'll do it."
Liu Bo nodded.
After saying that, Su Yang crouched down and stealthily walked out.
"Ah, yes, yes, tilt over a bit, look up."
"Si Si, don't lift your head so high, lower it a little... good, hold it."
"I think if they tilt a bit more to the right, we can see their profiles. That would look even better."
Unnoticed, Su Yang had walked right between the blonde and the grey-haired guy. He very naturally put his arms around their shoulders and spoke.
The blonde, looking at his phone, said flatly: "What do you know? This shot is mainly about capturing the mood/atmosphere. You don't need to see the profile."
"Is that so? I still think turning a bit would look better."
"No turning!"
......
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the blonde and the grey-haired guy whipped their heads around, looking at Su Yang between them with faces full of panic.
Su Yang smiled slightly: "What are you looking at me for? Keep taking pictures~"
"Ber!! Ge, big brother, you you you, when did you get here?!" The blonde's voice trembled as he spoke.
The two girls sitting on the ground turned to look, their eyes widening instantly.
Su Yang lifted the arms he had around the two guys' shoulders and waved at the girls with a smile: "We meet again~"
"Big brother... earlier, I I I... I didn't mean to curse... curse at you on purpose."
"Oh, I see." Su Yang nodded. "It was intentional, right?"
"Yes... no no no, not at all! Bro, please, a great man like you doesn't hold grudges against small people, just let us off!!"
At that moment, Liu Bo quickly walked over. He threw an arm around the gray-haired guy's shoulder and said with a laugh, "Kid, recognize me?"
The gray-haired guy was already nervous. Turning his head to see a burly man, even bigger than Su Yang, holding him, made him even more tense.
"You... big bro, who are you?"
"You two almost ran me over with your car before, and you've already forgotten?"
"No, bro, when did that happen? I don't even know you!"
"You don't know me, but I know you!! I heard after my Yang-ge taught you a lesson, you weren't convinced and talked trash about him?"
"Uh, Yang-ge?"
Liu Bo glanced at Su Yang and winked.
"Oh oh, so this handsome guy is Yang-ge! Yang-ge, we were wrong, we really won't dare to do it again!!"
