Chapter 955: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-How Brave (40)
“Brave girl.” Xu Chengfeng’s voice was calm, and his hands were still comforting.
He only glanced at Ainte after he was sure that she had completely relaxed. His voice was still calm and cold.”We’ll take a detour from the Eastern Route. There’s a large police training ground there, so they won’t dare to chase us.”
Ainte didn’t say anything, but it was obvious that he was completely following Xu Chengfeng’s instructions. He drove the car quickly in the east direction.
Although Zuo Yue tried her best to hide her nervousness, her hand was wrapped in Xu Chengfeng’s hand. She was so nervous that her palms were sweating.
However, Xu Chengfeng remained calm as he looked behind the car through the rearview mirror from time to time. He only let go of her hand when the black Cayenne they were in successfully drove to the eastern highway.
The way he let go of her hand was a silent signal to her that she was safe.
Zuo Yue raised her hand and looked at it. Although her palm was sweaty, she remembered that his palm had been clean all along. There was no sweat at all.
Was he not nervous at all?
After confirming that the cars were not chasing after them, Ainte relaxed and said with a smile,””Miss Zuo, I thought you would be so scared that you would scream non-stop in the car. I didn’t expect you to just shrink to the side and not make a sound. It seems that you’re quite bold.”
Zuo Yue barely regained her senses and looked up at him with dissatisfaction.””How scared am I?”
“I remember that when I sent you to the bus station to get off, I noticed that your legs were so weak that you almost lost your balance.”
Zuo Yue rolled her eyes at him.” At that time, I was wondering if I had really managed to survive. I was a little confused.””
“Tsk, stubborn and stubborn, haha.”Ayt said as he looked back.”It’s fine. Those bastards don’t dare to chase after us. They dare to attack us in downtown Los Angeles.”
“If those people catch up to us, what will happen?”Although she had been restraining her emotions earlier, Zuo Yue felt a little scared now and could not help but ask directly.
“Nothing much. We’ll just be skinned and thrown into a pot of oil or something. The simplest way to die is probably to shoot us in the head.”As he spoke, Ainte raised his hand and made a shooting gesture with his hand. He was even dubbing.
Zuo Yue’s face turned pale and she turned to look at Xu Chengfeng.””Really? Is it that dangerous?”
Xu Chengfeng did not answer, but he seemed too lazy to hide this from her, but he did not cooperate with Ait to scare her.
“Don’t think too much about it. There won’t be any danger in downtown Los Angeles other than being attacked by cars. Those people have already been left behind, so nothing will happen.”Xu Chengfeng said as he picked up the phone that had fallen by his feet and handed it to her.
Zuo Yue saw the phone that she had just dropped and quickly picked it up. However, the fingerprint lock at the bottom of the phone automatically opened the moment her hand touched it. At the same time, the phone screen showed the page of the recent call history.
Xu Chengfeng’s name was displayed at the top.
Behind his name was the English name Ken.
Xu Chengfeng glanced at her phone screen. His expression did not change, but he said, When will you add my English name?”
Zuo Yue felt a little awkward.
He was the one who saved his number. At that time, he only saved his name, but she changed it later. Her inexplicable feelings for him seemed to be revealed in an instant.
She quickly put away her phone and explained in a low voice,”That time, I heard someone call you Ken by chance, and that was when I found out that it was your English name. A few days ago, I was bored at home, so I played with my phone before I went to bed. As I was playing, I added your English name to your name.”
The little girl’s attempt to cover up made Xu Chengfeng speechless for a while. He just looked at her.
Zuo Yue knew what he wanted to say because of his calm but distant gaze. However, he did not say anything in the end. He only glanced at her phone again and did not say anything.
He must have thought that she was especially childish and sensitive. She would carefully change his name on the phone and deliberately remember everything about him, including his English name.
He would definitely realize that her feelings for him were a little abnormal and would definitely distance himself from her because of this, lest she did something stupid.
Zuo Yue carefully hid her phone behind her back until Xu Chengfeng’s phone rang and he picked up the call. She then leaned against the car door and took a look at her phone. At this moment, she was no longer in the mood to call her mother. She put her phone directly into her bag and did not take it out to let him see it.
In the blink of an eye, if they took the Eastern Route, the distance back to the Xu family in Los Angeles would be slightly longer, but it would only be half an hour longer than the previous journey. As long as they could ensure their safety, it didn’t matter if they stayed in the car for half an hour.
However, ever since she came out of the service area last night, she was shocked to realize that her feelings were a little off off. Therefore, these few hours were a little torturous, and this half an hour was also torturous…
Xu Chengfeng took the phone and looked at her.””Your mother couldn’t get through to you. She was worried about you, so she called me to see if you were in Los Angeles.”
“Does my mom know that we drove all night?”Zuo Yue looked up.
“I told her about the situation before I came back. She knew that I was in a hurry and that we would come back overnight.”
“Oh.” Zuo Yue replied with an ‘oh’ and did not say anything else.
The atmosphere was so awkward that even Ainte, who had been focused on driving, was too embarrassed to interrupt.
However, Xu Chengfeng’s attitude remained calm and calm, as if she was the only one who was the most embarrassed.
The reason was that she had thoughts that she should not have…
Zuo Yue lowered her head a little melancholically, occasionally puffing her cheeks to kill time.
“You were very brave in that unknown and dangerous situation just now.”Xu Chengfeng’s voice suddenly sounded beside him.
Zuo Yue turned to look at him, surprised by his praise.
“You clearly know that countless unknown dangers might happen around me, but you still try your best to appear so calm. Aren’t you afraid of death?”Xu Chengfeng’s gentle question broke her embarrassment.
Zuo Yue looked at him for a while. She felt that if she continued to stare at him, she would probably have some thoughts that she shouldn’t have. She quickly shifted her gaze away and turned her head at the same time, saying softly,””I didn’t have time to be afraid. Moreover, you and Ainte didn’t seem to be very nervous just now, so I don’t think there should be any big problems.”
