When they returned to where the electric scooter was parked, thankfully, the two helmets hadn't been stolen.
Xu Qingfan reached for the grocery basket in Zhang Yiyi's hand and hung both baskets on the hooks.
"Let's head back," he said, handing one of the helmets to the girl.
Zhang Yiyi took it obediently but then shook her head.
"Hmm? What's wrong?" Xu Qingfan asked, puzzled.
"I want some ice jelly," Zhang Yiyi murmured, pressing her face against his back.
Their favorite ice jelly shop had recently moved to New Era Square, just a few hundred meters from the marketplace—not too far at all.
After thinking it over, Xu Qingfan happily decided, "Then let's have some!"
"Thank you, brother!" Zhang Yiyi hugged his waist tightly, speaking in a sweet voice.
"Sit tight!" Xu Qingfan patted the back of her hand and started the scooter.
"Mhm!"
Thinking about what might happen later made Zhang Yiyi's heart pound uncontrollably, and she also felt an urge to use the restroom.
