Chapter 3100: Innocence 21
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Su Qi put his arm around me, bought a ticket, and then changed into skates. I found this a novel experience!
It seemed quite fun!
When I was young, I was full of curiosity about things I didn’t know about. I would feel inclined to explore and to find out more, I would be curious to experience.
However, these explorations would often leave me riddled with scars.
Our parents had always said that our younger generation would not give up until we hit the wall.
But the truth is that where some things are concerned, we will not give up even if we break our skulls against that wall.
Even if we’re injured all over, we will continue down that path.
Just like skating, if one explores with curiosity, one will often end up with injuries all over one’s body..
…
“Ahh!”
Bam!
I don’t know how many times I slipped and fell to the ground. Su Qi slid in front of me and smiled at me. Then he stretched his hand towards me.
I looked at the skates beneath his feet, not quite sure if he himself would fall too if he helped me up.
Su Qi saw that I was worried and said confidently, “Don’t worry! I’m very skilled. I won’t fall.”
Only then did I skeptically offer him my hand .
He grabbed my hand and pulled me to my feet.
Taking my hand, he wanted to move forward, but I didn’t dare to. I had been on the rink for so long, and found even walking difficult. So, I grabbed onto the railing tightly and refused to walk with him.
However, he didn’t see what I was doing. So, with the two forces opposing, I lost my balance and fell backward.
Reflexively, I tightened my grip on his hand.
He was caught off guard. He turned around, but his center of gravity had been destabilized.
Bam! I fell to the ground.
He too, fell, on top of me. Luckily, he reacted in time. Afraid that he would crush me, he had used his hands to break the fall and support himself.
Because of the impact, the back of my head hurt badly and I grumbled in frustration. When I opened my eyes, I found myself looking into his clean and clear ones.
He stared at me. Up close, I could feel his breath on my face.
For a moment, I didn’t dare to breathe. I had the idea that if I inhaled, the only thing that would enter my lungs would be the tender breath that came out of him.
Several of his friends glided over and were overjoyed to see this scene.
“Su Qi, you’re really something!”
“Su Qi’s flirting skills are improving!”
Su Qi obviously didn’t hear what they were saying, he was wholeheartedly focused on me. However, I had heard it. In my embarrassment, I gave him a shove. “Hey! Did you do it on purpose?!”
“I…”
“Hurry, get up!”
“You’re so heavy!” I lamented.
“Oh…”
Su Qi immediately scrambled to his feet and pulled me to my feet. I shook off his hand and straightened my clothes, then stood aside, blushing.
Those people were still laughing. Su Qi turned around and glared at them. “Continue laughing and see if I’ll teach you a lesson?!”
“Alright, alright! Stop fooling around!”
They laughed and dispersed.
Su Qi looked over at me. “Are you okay?” he asked.
I ignored him.
He laughed and said, “Do you know how to skate?”
I shook my head blankly.
He said, “The greatest trick in skating is not to be afraid of falling.”
I was stunned. “What? Don’t be afraid of falling?”
But falling would hurt!
“How can you learn if you don’t feel pain? More importantly, you have to be bold. Don’t be afraid. You will never learn how to walk while holding onto the railing!”
