Where Are You Grabbing

Su Yang laughed out loud. "Sure, I'm a little hungry too. Why would I say no to a free meal?"

"You really don't hold back."

"I've never been the type to hold back."

"Let's go then," Tao Shu said, walking over to her motorcycle and preparing to get on.

Seeing this, Su Yang asked, "We're taking the bike?"

"What else? I'm taking you to eat our Lin Cheng specialty, Laoguo."

"That works. I've heard Lin Cheng Laoguo is famous for a long time. But this bike of yours..."

"What's wrong with the bike?" Tao Shu glanced at it.

"Are you driving?"

"Why not? Get on." Tao Shu straddled the bike and beckoned to Su Yang with her finger.

Su Yang walked up, inspected the back seat, and said, "How about I drive?"

"What? You don't trust my riding skills?"

"It's not that I don't trust you. It's just that this back seat is too small, not really suitable for a guy. Plus, as a guy, being driven by a girl is a bit awkward..."

Hearing this, Tao Shu tilted her head and smiled. "You have an image to maintain?"

"What nonsense. Forget it, the back it is. Do you have another helmet?"

"No. I usually ride alone, so I only have one. You're the first person to ever sit on my back seat."

"My honor." Su Yang smiled and got on the bike.

The back seat of a sports bike is different from a retro motorcycle; it's higher and not very comfortable to sit on.

After getting on, Su Yang didn't know where to put his hands for a moment.

"Tao Shu, where do I hold on?"

"Just hold onto the gas tank."

"There are no handles on the gas tank. I don't feel safe not grabbing onto something."

"Relax, I won't ride too fast. You won't fly off."

Su Yang swallowed hard and said, "Alright, go slow."

"Got it!"

Vroom!

As soon as Tao Shu finished speaking, she started the bike.

"Sit tight, we're off." After saying that, she put on her helmet.

Su Yang hurriedly leaned forward and gripped both sides of the gas tank with his hands.

However, the gas tank was too smooth, with almost no grip. He could only barely hold onto it. If she sped up even slightly with a sudden acceleration, Su Yang figured he would fall right off the back.

It was his first time feeling so insecure riding on the back of someone else's bike.

Pedestrians on the road were attracted by the roar of the motorcycle and turned their heads to look.

Seeing a female rider with long, pale legs carrying a guy, people began to whisper.

"This guy's got some nerve, a big tall dude sitting on a girl's back seat."

"Yeah, usually it's the guys driving the girls, but he's letting a girl drive him."

Su Yang naturally heard these murmurs. He smiled helplessly and patted Tao Shu in front of him. "Just go already."

"Alright, let's go."

"Is the place to eat far?"

"Not too far, just a few kilometers."

"Okay."

After they spoke, Tao Shu twisted the throttle and quickly disappeared with Su Yang at the end of the street.

Soon, the two drove to a section of road with fewer cars, where many motorcycles sped past them.

Seeing this, Tao Shu suddenly got excited and shouted, "Hold on tight!"

"What are you doing? I can't hold on tight!" Su Yang hurriedly shouted.

"Taking you to experience what it means to ride like the wind!"

As her words fell, Tao Shu suddenly shifted gears and twisted the throttle hard. The Ducati V4 roared and shot forward.

Vroom!

The sudden acceleration caused Su Yang to fall backwards completely out of control.

Although he was strong, his hands had absolutely no grip.

Su Yang shouted, "Holy shit!" As he yelled, his two hands hurriedly grabbed onto Tao Shu's body, narrowly avoiding a crash.

However, just as his hands grabbed Tao Shu, she screamed, "Ah!! Where are you grabbing? You pervert!"

Tao Shu shouted while slowing down.

Su Yang also felt a special sensation in his hands at this moment. It felt great, but it wasn't like he could hold on forever.

Feeling a bit reluctant, he moved his hands down a bit and wrapped his arms around Tao Shu's lower abdomen.

"You big pervert!! Taking advantage of me!"

"No, sister, are you being reasonable? You suddenly accelerated and almost threw me off!! If I had been even a second slower, you'd be taking me to the hospital right now!"

Tao Shu naturally knew that she had indeed been impulsive just now.

"Uh... it's my fault, sorry, but don't grab wildly with your hands! You could've hugged my stomach just now, why did you have to grab my... you know."

"In that split second, how could I have time to think about where to grab? It's a miracle I didn't fall off."

"Ugh, fine, fine, I won't argue with you. Now hold onto my shoulders."

"No need, I'll just hug you, it's safer this way. You don't want an accident to happen, do you?" Su Yang didn't care anymore; he pressed himself against Tao Shu's back and hugged her tightly.

A faint, girlish fragrance drifted into his nose.

Hearing this, Tao Shu thought about it and agreed. "Alright, you get a freebie, but don't touch me inappropriately!"

"Got it, what's there to touch anyway? You can speed up now."

"Okay, but can you not hold me so tightly? I can hardly breathe."

"No, safety first! I was scared out of my wits by what you just did. Who knows if you'll do it again? For the sake of my life, I have to hold onto you. Hurry up and stop nagging."

...

After bantering for a bit, Tao Shu helplessly sped up again. Soon, she brought Su Yang to a bustling street. The Laoguo restaurant was located right on this street.

Although it was already past midnight, the street was still bustling with activity, with various late-night snack shops lining both sides.

They rode forward a few dozen meters to the entrance of the Laoguo restaurant. The small shop was packed with customers, with almost no empty seats.

Tao Shu rode the bike to a designated parking spot for motorcycles and electric scooters in front of the restaurant and stopped.

Then she took off her helmet and said helplessly, "I say! Man, we're already here. Why are you still holding me?"

"Huh? We're here?" Enjoying the evening breeze and holding a beauty all the way, Su Yang felt so comfortable that he couldn't help but close his eyes.

They had arrived at the shop, but he was still holding Tao Shu.

"You can let go now, bro?"

"Oh, hehe, sorry about that, almost fell asleep." Su Yang said as he let go of Tao Shu and got off the bike.

"Mmm, so comfortable~" He stretched his back.

[Ding. Detected that the host is feeling refreshed and extremely satisfied. Rewarding 2 million.]

Tao Shu glared at Su Yang with a murderous look in her eyes: "You did that on purpose, didn't you?"

"Did what on purpose?"

"Hmph, I should've just let you take a cab. You took advantage of me the entire way."

"What do you mean taking advantage of you? I offered to drive earlier and you refused. You made me sit on the back, and if I didn't hold onto you, my life would've been in danger at any moment."

"Hmph, fine, I can't be bothered to argue with you. Let's go."

The two said as they walked toward the Laoguo restaurant.

Su Yang looked up at the signboard. The shop was called "Mangmang Laoguo".

The shop was very lively at the moment. Some people were playing drinking games, some were chatting, and everyone looked very relaxed.

Su Yang walked up to Tao Shu and asked with a smile, "Is this the most popular Laoguo place in Lin Cheng?"

"Not exactly. Many Laoguo places here taste pretty good. It's just that this place has been open for a long time, and its flavor caters more to the older locals of Lin Cheng."

"Is that so? Then I definitely need to give it a try."

The two of them chatted as they walked into the restaurant. Tao Shu called out to a young waiter, "Hey handsome, do you have any tables left?"

"We sure do, beautiful. How many in your party?"

"Two."

"Alright, right this way." The waiter led them to an empty table at the very back of an adjacent room.

He then handed them a menu. "Here you go. Take a look and see what you'd like to eat."

Su Yang asked, "What are your specialties here? It's my first time having this kind of griddle hot pot."

"Really? Are you from out of town, man?"

"Yeah."

"Oh, gotcha. Then you should definitely try our potato patties. They're our signature dish!"

"Sounds good. We'll take two portions."

"You got it. Oh, by the way, do you want to try our specialty stinky tofu?"

"Stinky tofu? How stinky is it?"

"It smells awful, but it tastes amazing."

"Alright then, let's get a portion to try."

"Perfect. Our three-shred salad and beef tendon are also pretty good. Want to give them a try?"

"Sure, two portions of each."

"Coming right up~"

Beside him, Tao Shu ordered a portion of beef, a portion of sweet sausage, and a portion of potato slices. Then she looked at Su Yang. "Anything else you want to order?"

"I think that's about it. Let's start with this, and we can always order more later if it's not enough."

"Okay," Tao Shu said, handing the menu back to the waiter.

The waiter took the menu and asked with a smile, "Can I get you two some beer?"

Hearing this, Su Yang turned to Tao Shu. "Can you handle your liquor?"

"Can I handle it? Why do I feel like you're looking down on me?"

Su Yang smiled helplessly. "Where did you get that idea? I'm just asking if you can drink. If you can, we'll get some. If not, we'll just stick to soft drinks."

"Who wants soft drinks? Hey handsome, bring us a case of beer," Tao Shu said boldly to the waiter.

"I love a straightforward lady! You got it. Do you want them ice-cold or room temperature?"

"Who drinks room-temperature beer? They have to be ice-cold."

"Haha, alright. You two just sit back and relax. We have a lot of customers right now, so there might be a bit of a wait~" the waiter said with a laugh.

"No rush."

"Alright." The waiter replied, turning and walking away with a beaming smile.

Just Became Emperor, Already Assassinated by the Son of Destiny

Just Became Emperor, Already Assassinated by the Son of Destiny

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
