I'm the villainous Dragon King? I start with a free 100-pull gacha pull for the female lead!

"Can you even get to the signing location in this car?"

Su Qingyue's voice trembled with anger.

"Thirteen minutes! More than ten kilometers! You think you can fool me with a beat-up bicycle?"

"Is there a problem?"

Ye Shu smiled crookedly and confidently patted the back seat.

"Come on up, I know a shortcut."

"Believe me, it's much faster to drive through the streets and alleys than to have four-wheeled vehicles blocking the roads like parking lots."

"shortcut?"

Su Qingyue's eyes suddenly lit up.

Yes! Why didn't she think of taking a shortcut? Although she always takes the main road, what if Ye Shuzhen knew about a shortcut?

She quickly sat sideways in the back seat and casually praised:

"I didn't expect you to know Yuecheng so well. You must have been here for a long time. You figured out a shortcut so quickly. No wonder you're my fiancé, Su Qingyue!"

However, Ye Shu replied calmly, "Actually, I didn't stay for long. The day we met was the first day I came to Moon City."

ga-

Su Qingyue's smile vanished abruptly.

From the first day they met until now, it's been less than three months, hasn't it?!

"Ye Shu! You lied to me again!"

"Don't worry, as the saying goes, when you think you've reached the end of the road, there's always a way. You can always find a shortcut."

Ye Shu smiled and reassured him.

With things having come to this point, and with the capital already in session, Su Qingyue was completely helpless and could only resign herself to fate.

Ultimately, she still harbored a sliver of hope.

What if?

What if her husband really is a dragon king, with such a powerful physique that he can kick a bicycle at the speed of an airplane and carry her across the rooftops of skyscrapers?

It's not impossible!

Thinking this, she unconsciously wrapped her arms around Ye Shu's waist to prevent herself from being thrown off if the speed was too fast.

"Hold on tight!"

Ye Shu roared, his eyes changing instantly, his whole body exuding a dangerous aura of dominance.

He raised his right foot and stomped down hard!

Is it coming?!

Su Qingyue's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly closed her eyes, afraid that the wind was too strong and would get into her eyes.

However.....

A crisp click was heard.

The bicycle remained stationary, not moving an inch.

She opened her eyes in confusion and saw Ye Shu standing straight, even straighter than a standard soldier, with his right foot pedal stuck on his calf, and her pink slippers stuck on his ankle.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Reporting, sir!"

Ye Shu stood at attention, eyes fixed straight ahead, and replied in a loud voice, "The tank track has come off track. Requesting emergency repairs within thirty seconds!"

She then noticed that the chain on the bicycle was hanging loosely, swaying in the wind, just like the contract she was about to lose.

"Ye Shu!!!!"

"Repair the officer immediately!"

Thirty seconds later, Ye Shu casually wiped the black lubricant off the chain on the ground, sat back on the bicycle, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Looks like my skills haven't gotten rusty yet."

Seeing his leisurely demeanor, Su Qingyue couldn't hold back any longer. She grabbed his neck and shook him violently. "Can you hurry up?! Two minutes have already passed!"

"Uh, nyah nyah nyah..."

Ye Shu was so dizzy from being shaken that half of his tongue was sticking out, but his feet were already on the pedals.

With a whoosh, the car veered erratically, like a leaf being choked and shaken wildly, drawing an S-shaped trajectory in the garage before finally driving out.

The bicycle was moving very slowly.

Just like an ordinary man, riding an ordinary bicycle, carrying an ordinary woman, walking on an ordinary street.

Su Qingyue's last glimmer of hope was shattered.

Even if Ye Shuzhen walked through the alley, how could he possibly catch up with the signing time at that speed?

This is simply not possible.

She looked up, and one bright street lamp after another swept past her, taking away streaks of light and shadow, like luminous white noodles, slipping away from her eyes one by one.

The evening breeze lifted the hem of her skirt.

The night breeze was slightly cool, but when it brushed past the man in front of her, it transformed into the gentlest and warmest spring breeze, lifting the hem of his clothes and brushing against Su Qingyue's cheek.

He turned the corner, and the car entered a small alley.

The car was moving very slowly.

Su Qingyue then saw the windows on the walls of the alley, glowing with warm yellow light. The aroma of food wafting from them mingled with the sounds of children playing, couples bickering, and television programs, creating a world she had never seen before, full of the warmth of everyday life.

The bicycle was very old and dilapidated, as if it was about to fall apart. Every pedal stroke made a creaking sound and was accompanied by violent shaking, just like the broken car that Tom the cat drove in the cartoon, with parts clattering all over the ground.

The alleyway roads were also full of potholes.

Yet the potholed ground and the dilapidated car were strangely intertwined, creating a peculiar rhythm as they rose and fell, complemented by the old clothes Ye Shu had thoughtfully placed on her as a cushion.

It is neither bumpy due to potholes nor dull due to smooth roads.

It feels like walking on clouds or riding on waves.

Amidst this strange street scene, Su Qingyue's tense state of mind gradually calmed down.

She looked at Ye Shu, who was riding a bicycle in front of her.

Watching him stare straight ahead, as he passed each street corner, he tapped the bell next to his hand and imitated the "ding-a-ling" sound with his mouth.

As she watched, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

That smile made even the starlight seem a bit brighter.

Ye Shu, riding his bicycle, flashed a bright white smile and said, "Little sister, are you mesmerized by my dashing cycling figure? Please don't be obsessed with me, I'm just a legend."

"Vanity."

Su Qingyue glared at him, but silently tightened her grip on his arm, rested her face against his back, and gazed at the bright moon in the sky and the curious looks from the children in the alley.

At this moment, she seemed to think that it would be nice if time could stand still; as for the contract and such, they were no longer important.

At this speed, there's no way we can catch up.

She slowly closed her eyes, listening to the sound of the wind.

Upon closer inspection, it has a faint bamboo scent.

Was it coming from the person in front of her? She had never realized before that someone like that could have such a clean and pleasant scent. It was a mixture of the soapy smell of old clothes, the coolness of the evening breeze, and a subtle, indescribable, comforting aroma.

"Ye Shu... I understand..."

Su Qingyue spoke softly, "Is this what you wanted to tell me? Actually, none of that matters. What matters is the scenery along the way..."

"What are you talking about?"

Ye Shu's unromantic voice came through.

"We've arrived."

arrive?

Su Qingyue opened her eyes in a daze.

As dusk settled, a brightly lit building came into view, with people coming and going at the entrance. Many people were curiously watching this side and secretly observing the strange couple.

Ye Shu got out of the car, gracefully made a "please" gesture, flipped the children's watch on her wrist, and smiled: "At 7:29, you still have time to go to the restroom to tidy up your appearance, and then quietly amaze the whole audience."

incredible.

They covered a distance of over ten kilometers in less than ten minutes, and they arrived at a speed even slower than an old lady riding a bicycle.

That's impossible!

Su Qingyue got off the car feeling dizzy. Her instincts told her that there must be something fishy going on, but her physical experience told her that everything was fine. She did indeed slowly walk through the alley, smell the aroma of food, hear children laughing and playing, feel the evening breeze, and then... she arrived.

This sense of cognitive disconnect left her feeling somewhat disoriented.

But time didn't allow her to think it over.

She hurried toward the brightly lit building, but suddenly turned back at the entrance and looked at the figure sitting on the bicycle.

In a fleeting glance, she saw him say a few words.

"Remember to haggle!"
