In the indoor training ground, Shen Ruo stood on the hoverboard, nervously looking at the sensor controller under his feet.
Chu Xiao was standing behind him. And because he wanted to see if Shen Rou was stepping on the controller under his feet correctly, Chu Xiao leaned forward slightly and stuck his head out from Shen Ruo’s left shoulder to look down. The distance between the two of them was very close.
“Yes, just like this and step on it gently.”
The magnetic voice, with a smile sounded in his ears, and Shen Ruo didn’t dare to move. If he turned his head slightly, his face would be right next to Chu Xiao’s.
After Chu Xiao quickly retreated, Shen Ruo let out a sigh of relief.
There was a little distance away from Shen Ruo, so the two of them would not get too close, but no matter how big the hoverboard was, it was just a board that could stand two people. As long as Chu Xiao takes half a step forward, Chu Xiao could be next to Shen Ruo.
Chu Xiao, who was behind Shen Ruo, had a mischievous smile on his face.
When he approached Shen Ruo just now, he clearly noticed the stiffness and tension of the other party’s body. It seemed that the day spent yesterday was still effective, at least it made this YaRen become aware of something in that aspect.
Until yesterday morning, Shen Ruo had been quiet all the time, and in the first two days when he came, he had a timid and confused look in his eyes. Shen Ruo didn’t understand many things in that area.
For Chu Xiao, this was not a problem. And when he spoke a few more words, Shen Ruo had no other thoughts or actions except a grateful smile. Chu Xiao was not in a hurry. This was just the beginning.
Now, there were results.
The smile on his face turned evil. Chu Xiao looked at Shen Ruo. His hair was soft and clean, slightly fluffy because he had washed it in the morning.
Chu Xiao felt a little itchy again, wondering if Shen Ruo’s hair would feel good to the touch.
The hoverboard was slowly moving forward. Shen Ruo stepped on the sensor under his feet. The sensor was on the surface of the hoverboard without any protruding parts and it would move forward by applying force.
That was just one of the control methods, and one could also connect the sensor of the hoverboard with the mental power. However, it was Shen Ruo’s first time playing, so Chu Xiao did not let him do that.
“You can try to speed up.”
Seeing Shen Ruo take off and fly for a few minutes, Chu Xiao said again.
After saying that, Chu Xiao opened his arms on both sides of Shen Ruo’s body, not touching him, but just protecting Shen Rou to prevent him from losing his balance and falling if the speed of the hoverboard was too fast.
Shen Ruo saw such careful movements. He calmed down and focused his attention on the hoverboard. Following what Chu Xiao said, if he stepped on it harder, the hoverboard would speed up.
Shen Ruo’s control was relatively good. The hoverboard did not fly out violently, and his movements were more cautious. In fact, it didn’t matter if he fell down. It was because he was afraid of Chu Xiao who was standing behind fall.

“Not bad, you can try to speed up again.”

Shen Ruo was very serious, and tried to speed up again at that moment. Unexpectedly, this time he didn’t control it well, and the hoverboard suddenly jumped out.
This acceleration came so suddenly that Shen Ruo was not prepared. With the sudden huge inertia, his body fell backwards and fell directly into Chu Xiao’s arms behind him.
“Be careful.”
Chu Xiao caught Shen Ruo. His feet were steady.
Shen Ruo moved his feet back, no longer stepping on the sensor, and the hoverboard slowly stopped at a steady speed.
The training ground was very large, so it wouldn’t hit the wall. Besides, the hoverboard had an automatic recognition system. When it encountered an obstacle, it would react automatically, either to stop or to turn, and would not hit it directly. It was safe enough.
After Shen Ruo stood firm, Chu Xiao did not make any extraordinary moves. He helped him stand firm and then withdrew his hand, only touching Shen Ruo’s arm, very gentlemanly.
“Are you okay?”
Chu Xiao’s concerned question came from behind, and his magnetic voice was pleasant.
Being asked like this, Shen Ruo subconsciously wanted to turn around and look at Chu Xiao to speak.
However, he still realized the current situation. The hoverboard was relatively small and they were too close. If he turned around, he would definitely come into Chu Xiao’s embrace.
So, Shen Ruo could only stand in front and said in a soft voice: “I’m fine. Are you OK?”
“I’m fine too.” Chu Xiao said with a smile, “Take your time. Don’t worry, just control it carefully.”
“En.” Shen Ruo nodded obediently, and felt a little embarrassed when he remembered that Chu Xiao was standing behind him. This action was a bit uncalled-for.
Thinking that he didn’t control his strength well just now, Shen Ruo was even more careful when he stepped on the hoverboard again, fearing it would happen again.
Although Chu Xiao was behind him, the close contact still made Shen Ruo purse his lips quietly, feeling very embarrassed.
The microchip behind the ear flickered, indicating that it was connected to the hoverboard under their feet.
Chu Xiao curled his lips and smiled, and Shen Ruo in front of him naturally couldn’t see it.
——
Chu Xiao went to school, leaving Shen Ruo with the hoverboard to learn how to play it.
Watching Chu Xiao get into the car and drive out of the Duke’s Palace, Shen Ruo saw him open the car window. He subconsciously waved to him with a slight smile on his face.
Chu Xiao looked at Shen Ruo and also waved back as well. The two of them seemed to be more familiar with each other.
Just now at the training ground, Shen Ruo had a good grasp on the whole process. He only accelerated too fast twice and accidentally fell backwards, only to be caught by Chu Xiao.
On the second time, he was actually afraid that Chu Xiao would misunderstand that he did it on purpose, so he apologized immediately. Fortunately, Chu Xiao was still patient, without any displeasure, and even comforted him gently.
He was already very careful, but he didn’t expect that he still couldn’t control it well. Shen Ruo was a little annoyed, and he paid more attention later.
Shen Ruo walked back, and more than an hour at the training ground quickly passed. After he and Chu Xiao had breakfast together, Chu Xiao left.
Regarding what happened at the training ground, Shen Ruo only thought that he had not controlled it well and he had no doubt about it at all.
He was quite happy, having fun playing on the hoverboard, but seeing Chu Xiao’s sunny smile was also a happy thing.
Shen Ruo was able to detect the slight change in Chu Xiao. He thought that it must be because they had just met before. Chu Xiao had always been very gentle, but that kind of gentle smile was a bit distant.
He could even imagine that Chu Xiao would be like that to anyone, gentle and well mannered. But Chu Xiao was actually very young, even younger than him. He was very young, and still a big boy.
In fact, in Shen Ruo’s opinion, such a bright smile made Chu Xiao’s young and handsome face look a little childish. He was the kind of boy who was very sunny and kind.
This different change made Shen Ruo wonder if Chu Xiao was acting like this because they had become familiar with each other and became friends.
There was a slight smile on Shen Ruo’s gentle face.
He walked towards the main building. When he was having breakfast just now, Old Lady Chu mentioned that she was going to the flower garden and the racecourse today. She smiled and invited Shen Ruo to go with her. Chu Xiao also recommended that he and Old Lady Chu go there to have a look and relax.
So now, Shen Ruo was waiting for the Old Lady to be ready before leaving together.
When he entered the hall on the first floor, the steward was already waiting for him. If he was going to the racecourse, he had to prepare his riding clothes in advance, and there were some precautions he needed to be told.
Shen Ruo followed the steward to the back of the hall, where several servants were working.
After Shen Ruo and the steward entered the room in the back, an old maid raised her head expressionlessly. She put down the dried bouquet in her hand, and turned off the micro camera hidden between her fingers.
The ten-second video that just captured Shen Ruo’s face was sent to the military base on the front line immediately.
The slender jade-white hand opened the video that had just been sent and it was played in front of them. After the video was over, a pair of gorgeous red lips appeared on the black screen. She was a very beautiful woman.
Among the other light screens that appeared in front of her, there were photos of Shen Ruo wearing old clothes and a timid expression when he first arrived at the Chu Mansion, and there were also photos of Chu Xiao taking Shen Ruo to the mall, opening the car door for him and inviting him to get in the car.
——
The next day.
Shen Ruo woke up early in the morning, but he stayed in bed for a while and did not get up immediately.
It was okay at the flower garden yesterday. He learned some flower arrangements and scented tea with Old Lady Chu. In the sea of blooming flowers, the fragrance of the flowers was fragrant, and he was not very tired.
But when he was at the racecourse, he was still a beginner. Despite her age, the Old Lady loved riding horses when she was young, and she still liked riding horses now. She had been to the racecourse for a long time, so she was okay with it.
But for a beginner like Shen Ruo, although he liked it, his body could not keep up.
The protective gear was actually very good, but it was Shen Ruo’s first time riding a horse, and it took a long time. Plus, he was nervous and his body was tense. His riding posture was wrong, and it was inevitable that his thighs would be bruised.
It was fine when he was at the racecourse. Because it was on the inner side of the thigh, and the position was a little awkward, but it wasn’t to the point where he couldn’t bear it, so he didn’t show it. When he returned to the room and took a shower, he found that the inner thigh was a little swollen.
Shen Ruo didn’t pay much attention to such a minor injury.
When he was doing farm work in the past, his hands were often cut by sharp blades of grass, or he had to lift heavy objects, which made his palms and fingers red and bruised. It was much more serious than the redness and swelling in his thighs.
So, Shen Ruo didn’t care and slept until now.
There was nothing wrong with it last night, but as soon as he woke up and moved his legs a little, he felt a little uncomfortable. Shen Ruo frowned slightly, then stretched out to take a look. It would be fine after he applied some medicine, and the effect would be very fast.
He got out of bed and took out the wound medicine he brought from his suitcase. It was a commonly used medicine for him. It was anti-inflammatory and sterilizing. It could also heal wounds quickly. Whether it was cuts or bruises and swelling, although it was not as fast as the treatment device, it was still very effective. It’s easy to use, and it would probably be fine by the afternoon.
Because that area was a bit embarrassing, Shen Ruo thought for a moment, then bit his lower lip and went into the bathroom. He applied medicine with red ears and didn’t dare to look at it. He looked directly at the smooth wall of the bathroom and washed his hands immediately after applying medicine.
Today was Friday. Chu Xiao said last night that he only had class for half a day and would come back to have lunch together at noon.
Inexplicably, Shen Ruo actually had some expectations for Chu Xiao’s return.
Maybe it was because he only knew Chu Xiao here, and Chu Xiao had always been very patient, taking him to play or teaching him something he didn’t understand.
Moreover, they were of the same age. When getting along with Chu Xiao, Shen Ruo would not feel too restrained because Chu Xiao took good care of him.
Shen Ruo, who had forgotten about his thighs, thought about it like that, and when he thought of Chu Xiao, a small smile appeared in his eyes unconsciously.
And when Chu Xiao came back, he saw Shen Ruo in the hall. Similarly, a smile immediately appeared on his handsome face.
Thank you for the chapter!
Thanks for the chapter
Are you serious? Rigging a hoverboard so he can fall into your arms?? 😂😂😂
And what’s up with that lady in red lipstick?? Why she being a stalker?
Yeah we have absolutely no context of who she is! Whattttt
Maybe she is Chu Xiao’s mother? They did say that she is at a military base
Hm, I don’t think it’s right to judge people because of their sexual life/preferences, but someone that’s so young and just know how to play and change people every week, I can’t help but dislike his character, I don’t want our pure shou with someone like that! Let’s find another gong!
Thank you
Thank you for the chapter!
Honestly, I kinda like how we get about how Chu Xiao is lying and playing with Shen Ruo, cuz If was I (with emotional intelligence of a plank of wood) such subtle games I wouldn’t get them
Thank you for the chapter 💝
