Chapter 377: Frogs
"You must be tired after walking for so long so... I can carry you for a while if you don’t mind." Cedric offered, almost fainting out of nervousness.
Cheng Yu shook her head as she looked at him. She sighed helplessly. Why was the man still so persistent about acting like a couple with her, even after she had rejected him so many times?
Although this is what she thought, she had already embarrassed him earlier and made him the laughing stock for a while, so she couldn’t bring herself to say no to him again. It was just a piggyback ride, and it didn’t mean much, right?
Making a mental note to talk to him about it later, she walked behind him. "Just this once."
He joyously supported her onto his back, not sure where to place his hands. Just like Lanni and Luna, she was wearing a pair of shorts that didn’t even cover half of her thighs. If his hand came into contact with her skin, would she be offended?
Deciding that she would be even more offended if he supported her by her butt, he pretended to not realize anything and held her tights, his heart racing when her sweet fragrance wafted into his nostrils as the breeze softly blew. His heart was content. Saying yes to him carrying her meant he was starting to gain her trust.
According to his own observation as well as that of Lin Jian, she did have feelings for him and was merely afraid—probably because their identities were too different. She was probably scared that soon after they got into a relationship, their parents would oppose their union and force them to break up.
Hence, aside from trying to get closer to her, his other aim of coming to this trip was to find a chance to let her know that no one could influence his decisions, and no one would have a say about who he could or could not be with. As for his sister’s opposition the last time, that girl was probably spewing nonsense because she was in a bad mood.
"Let’s race! The last pair to arrive at the resort are frogs!" Lin Jian proposed a race mischievously and immediately took off with Ruby on his back.
"That’s foul!" Cedric complained as he held Cheng Yu tightly and tried to catch up.
"Hold tight!" Xiehan told Lanni, then sprinted and overtook Cedric and Lin Jian within a few seconds. Lanni laughed gloatingly at Lin Jian, who had been defeated at the game he proposed himself.
