Ling Sheng threw her bicycle angrily and said in annoyance, “I’m not learning anymore. Let’s go home!”
What kind of person was he? Not only had he not helped her, but he had also been scolding her for being stupid and shouting at her. It was as if he thought she would learn if he kept shouting at her!
Huo Ci frowned, thinking that she could not blame others for being stupid. He took a step forward and lifted her bicycle up. “You’re blaming the latrine because you can’t sh*t?”
“How vulgar!” Ling Sheng rolled her eyes at him angrily before walking away.
“I’ll teach you.” Huo Ci let her hold on to the bicycle. He let out a low cough, feeling extremely awkward. “I’ll hold it for you. Look ahead and don’t get distracted.”
Ling Sheng found this a little unbelievable. She frowned suspiciously. “You want to kill me, right?”
“Scram!” Huo Ci bellowed angrily in a threatening manner. “Do you want to learn?”
“Yes, I’ll learn.” Ling Sheng looked at her father’s eyes. It seemed as though he would kill her if she said no. She thus nodded hurriedly.
She was scared.
When Ling Sheng sat on the bike this time, there was someone supporting her from behind. The bicycle was very stable, but she had fallen too many times. She was a little scared, and her voice was tense. “Father, don’t let go! Don’t let go.”
“Why are you spouting so much nonsense?” Huo Ci was full of disdain. “Look forward. Don’t get distracted. I’ll keep following you.”
Ling Sheng nodded, looking as though she was ready to die. She started to step on the pedals, which shook a little before the bike started moving forward steadily.
Huo Ci kept running, but the brat was riding the bike faster and faster. When he could not keep up anymore, his vision started to blur and the image of a handsome figure in his memory suddenly appeared in front of him.
His hand let go unconsciously.
The person in front of him had suddenly turned into her.
She had said that she did not know how to ride a bicycle and had insisted that he teach her. She had even deliberately chosen to wear a beautiful long dress that day.
He remembered very clearly that she had been wearing a beige long dress. She had been very pretty, as this had been the first time she had worn a dress.
He had despised it. Who wore a dress when learning how to ride a bicycle? He had refused to teach her but had been dragged out by her after being pestered. She had said that she wanted to be different and wear a dress.
He had helped her hold on to the back of the bicycle and watched as she’d sat on it while trembling in fear. She had kept shouting for him not to let go.
However, she had started riding the bike faster and faster. He had run behind her, unable to catch up to her speed.
She had then stopped and turned around to wave at him smugly, begging for praise. “Ah Ci, Ah Ci, do you think I’m impressive?”
In the summer evening, the girl’s beautiful face and lively, ethereal smile had been a sight that would never fade.
Not far away, the bicycle’s front tilted to the side.
Ling Sheng screamed and fell again. She turned around angrily to look at the figure standing far away and cursed softly. “Liar!”
Huo Ci came back to his senses and looked at her in disdain. “Why are you so stupid?”
Ling Sheng bellowed at him. “You old liar!”
Huo Ci was feeling a little uneasy. He cursed under his breath in annoyance before leaving. He was crazy. Why had he thought of those memories?
Ling Sheng did not know what had gotten into him. She just pushed the bike and ran after him, apologizing sincerely. “Father, I was being crazy just now. I didn’t mean to shout at you. You’re not a liar. I apologize.”
Huo Ci turned around and gave her a look. “I got Mei Xuelin to make some arrangements. You can go to the doctor tomorrow!”
Ling Sheng was stunned. “What doctor?”
“A psychologist.” Huo Ci’s voice was low, and his eyes were deep. “What happened in the past will stay in the past. One has to look forward. One can’t keep living in the past.”
