Chapter 1207: Sleek Motorcycle
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Le had her own childhood memories of motorcycles—vivid, dreamy recollections that still lingered in her mind like perfume from a summer long gone.
Her father used to ride with her nestled right at the front, her small arms outstretched as the engine let out a resonant vroom, a sound so thrilling it made her feel like she had sprouted wings and could soar straight into the sky.
Sometimes, her mother would sit behind her father, cradling Su Le in her arms. No matter how fast the bike went or how wildly the wind whipped around them, she always felt completely safe.
One day, when her mother came back, Su Le had already made up her mind—she would ask her father to take the two of them on a ride again, just like before.
Meanwhile, on the other side of campus, Chen Xi was making an entrance of his own.
After dropping off a few children at school, he zipped straight to the university on his beloved motorcycle. The moment the sleek machine rolled onto campus grounds, it sparked an immediate commotion. Heads turned, whispers spread like wildfire, and students scrambled to identify the newcomer on the glamorous ride.
This wasn’t just any motorcycle—this was the latest imported model, priced well over ten thousand yuan, a figure that, in most students’ eyes, placed it firmly in the realm of the fabulously rich.
And then there was Chen Xi himself, dressed like he had just stepped out of a fashion editorial. His hair was styled with pomade, spiked confidently upwards, the tips dyed a golden blond, unmistakably mirroring the hairstyle of a current heartthrob on television. His black sunglasses were pure swagger, and the outfit? A sharp windbreaker, paired with rugged cargo pants that screamed urban cool.
It wasn’t just the girls who were transfixed—even the boys couldn’t help stealing glances. Who didn’t dream of owning a sleek, roaring motorcycle like that?
Of course, dreaming was one thing. Actually having one was another matter entirely. And Chen Xi, effortlessly perched on that mechanical beast, belonged to the latter category.
Before long, someone recognized him. That’s Chen Xi—the rich kid, someone whispered. In the cafeteria queue, Tang Xue was walking with Li Juan and a few other girls from their class when someone suddenly tugged at her sleeve, eyes wide and sparkling.
"Tang Xue, look! Isn’t that Chen Xi by the motorcycle?" the girl said breathlessly. "He looks so cool! Why haven’t we ever seen him ride it before? Has he ever given you a ride?"
Tang Xue followed the direction of her friend’s gaze. Her eyes widened just slightly in surprise—it really was Chen Xi. And today, he looked particularly striking, as if he had been dipped in stardust and styled by the gods. He was surrounded by a growing circle of students, all staring admiringly at his bike... though the girls, of course, were more focused on him. At this moment, to them, Chen Xi wasn’t just a classmate—he was the campus’s own Prince Charming, complete with a black steed.
In recent weeks, Tang Xue had met quite a few wealthy young men, both on and off campus. But after a quick inventory, she realized that being rich didn’t always translate to being attractive. Some were good-looking but temperamental; others were absurdly difficult to please. A few had wandering eyes, juggling three or four girlfriends at once.
But Chen Xi? He was handsome and rich. More importantly, he had eyes only for her and had always been willing to spend lavishly just to make her happy.
She couldn’t help but regret it now—if only she’d accepted his courtship sooner. If she had, it would be her sitting on the back of that motorcycle, basking in everyone’s envy. Not those other girls, with their fluttering lashes and flirty giggles.
Jealousy stirred in her chest like a pot brought to boil. She found herself wishing—willing—Chen Xi to notice her standing there. To see her displeasure, to push away the other girls and walk straight over to her.
But these days, Chen Xi always seemed busy. Apart from attending classes, he was nowhere to be found. He hadn’t sought her out in a while, and her pride prevented her from making the first move. After all, during his pursuit of her, he had been so accommodating, so patient. She worried that if she gave in now and reached out, he might not treat her the same way again.
Still... what good was pride when she couldn’t even get close enough to see his face?
Her mind worked quickly. In a casually indifferent tone, she replied to the curious girl beside her, "He’s given me a ride before. I thought it was a little dangerous, so he stopped riding it for a while."
The girl let out an envious sigh. "Wow... you’re so lucky, Tang Xue. Everyone says Young Master Chen is completely devoted to you. If you become the future Madam Chen, you must remember us old classmates."
"Totally!" another chimed in. "Tang Xue, we all think you and Chen Xi are a perfect match. When you get married, don’t forget to invite us to your wedding banquet!"
Tang Xue basked in the attention, her vanity temporarily soothed. She smiled sweetly at their compliments, as if marrying Chen Xi right after graduation was the most natural progression of her life. But standing slightly apart, Li Juan had had enough.
"I’m starving," she muttered, turning away. "I’m going to the cafeteria."
No one paid her much attention. The group remained laser-focused on Tang Xue, their flattery flowing freely.
"Tang Xue, look!" someone squealed. "Chen Xi’s getting on his motorcycle! He’s coming this way—he’s probably here to pick you up for a ride! You’re too lucky!"
Tang Xue’s heart jumped. She immediately began calculating how to approach him in a way that would seem effortless, not clingy. But when she looked up and saw him indeed riding toward them, her pulse quickened. He hadn’t forgotten her. He must have been genuinely busy before, too occupied with important things to visit.
