“If I catch any of you daring to leave before dawn, I won’t let you off!”
These guards were arranged by Kawashima Yosuke to follow from a distance and ensure Miki’s safety.
They had indeed been negligent earlier, and by the time they realised, it was already too late.
Fortunately, they had enough people, and someone spotted clues on the road, allowing the group to catch up, otherwise they might not have made it here at all.
Already in the wrong, and now hearing the Young Miss threaten to report them, how could they dare disobey?
“Understood, Young Miss! We’ll stand here obediently until tomorrow morning!”
“That’s more like it, let’s go!”
Soon after, Xu Fei hopped back on the bicycle, taking Kawashima Miki away.
While riding, Xu Fei thought it was lucky this was abroad, as domestic shared bikes lacked back seats, which would’ve been awkward.
Miki, sitting behind, gazed at Xu Fei’s figure, his silhouette towering and heroic under the neon lights.
She couldn’t help but reach out and wrap her arms around his waist.
The moment her hands touched him, Xu Fei, to be honest, felt a bit uncomfortable.
But he had no choice, after some thought, he realised Miki’s affection, sparked by his rescue, could aid his mission, so he just had to bear it.
“Where to next?”
After Xu Fei asked, Miki, her head resting on his back, took a moment to respond, “Definitely not back to school, that’d be so embarrassing if someone saw! I’ll take you somewhere!”
With that, Miki, a local, began giving directions, guiding Xu Fei as he pedalled forward.
Xu Fei didn’t mind, with his skills, he wasn’t afraid of trouble in unfamiliar places, so he let Miki lead the way.
Soon, Xu Fei rode with Miki to a street glowing with neon lights.
Seeing the flickering lights, Xu Fei instantly pegged it as a bar street, thinking Miki sure knew how to have fun.
Upon arriving, Miki said a bit shyly, “My father never let me come to places like this, said it’s dangerous, but with you here today, I’m not scared at all, take me in to check it out!”
“Sure, no problem!”
Xu Fei nodded, and they picked a bar at random and walked in.
Inside, even in the corridor, Xu Fei could hear the deafening music, thinking bars seemed the same worldwide.
Reaching the main area, as expected, he saw a huge dance floor, people wildly swaying to the music, with others sitting nearby drinking.
“So exciting, let’s go have some fun!”
Before Xu Fei could agree, Miki pulled him onto the dance floor.
As they danced, someone at a nearby table cast their gaze towards them.
