Chapter 54

Hearing Lin Jing say she didn't want to sit in the car anymore, Zhang Qiu volunteered and immediately showed his Lei Feng spirit, saying, "Then, I'll carry you."

Lin Jing didn't answer immediately, and the two fell into silence. Zhang Qiu's heart was beating a bit faster. Lin Jing, who was leaning against his chest, naturally heard his accelerated heartbeat.

Suddenly, Lin Jing pushed Zhang Qiu, got herself up, opened the car door, and walked away.

Zhang Qiu rubbed the back of his head, feeling a bit at a loss. What did this mean? Girls' hearts are truly hard to fathom! But it was better than being rejected, which might have ended their friendship, leaving them with nothing.

After all, when he thought about it, his behavior was a bit abrupt. Being abrupt with a lady is the greatest sin, and now Zhang Qiu felt uneasy, worried and anxious.

Just then, Lin Jing suddenly turned around and said to the car, "Aren't you coming out? Can you bear to let me walk alone on this dark road?"

This sentence, though not deliberately coquettish, made Zhang Qiu feel a hint of playful charm. Unconsciously, he had become so familiar with Lin Jing. The relationship between people is truly subtle and unpredictable.

Zhang Qiu smiled and rubbed his forehead, then opened the car door and got out.

At the same time, the system notification appeared: "Additional task: Save the injured (completed)." It seemed that the three injured people had already been taken to the hospital. The action was really quick. This meant that there was a hospital right in the parking lot, otherwise it wouldn't have been so fast.

"Reward: Lin Jing's main task (acquaintance):刮目相看, automatically completed. Effect: Lin Lai will look at you with new eyes, and her affection for you will grow stronger."

Seeing this result, Zhang Qiu couldn't help but smile. It seemed he didn't have to worry about the lady disliking him. If his charm were to be displayed, Zhang Qiu really wanted to see how the red aura above his head and Lin Lai's aura were entangled.

"Reward: Car driving mastery (national level), extract?"

"Extract!" Zhang Qiu silently said, extracted the skill, and slowly walked to Lin Jing's side.

Walking side by side with Lin Jing, she didn't refuse. Looking at the beautiful girl who was about the same height as him, Zhang Qiu's heart was pounding uncontrollably.

Lin Jing's demeanor was very similar to Lin Lai's, but she seemed more mature, probably because she was a bit older.

Lin Lai was just a high school student around 17 or 18 years old, while Lin Jing looked like a college student in her early twenties. Although she was still in her youth, and to many people, still a young girl, it depended on who she was compared to.

At least compared to Lin Lai and Zhang Qiu, Lin Jing was undoubtedly a big sister. But Zhang Qiu really enjoyed walking side by side with her. The two-year age difference was barely noticeable.

"Miss Lin, are you okay?" After the rescue team took away the three injured people, everyone was clearly more calm. Someone recognized Lin Jing and immediately came over to ask.

"I'm fine. You don't need to worry about me!" Lin Jing said. Her voice was always so gentle and composed, making people feel comfortable.

Suddenly, several cars drove up from the front and stopped beside Lin Jing and Zhang Qiu. They were not rescue vehicles or rescue teams, but the parking lot boss and Lin Jing's bodyguards.

"Miss, we have failed. Please punish us!" The bodyguards bowed and said.

Lin Jing, however, said, "It's fine. It's not that you came late, but that this hero acted too quickly. Take my car back to the parking lot. I don't want to sit in the car anymore. Send a plane to pick me up, but don't alarm my family."

"Yes, Miss." The bodyguard nodded and bowed in response.

At this moment, Zhang Qiu truly felt what it meant to be a rich and beautiful woman. Calling a plane to pick her up was said very casually, without any show of pride or excitement, as if it were as ordinary as eating or drinking.

Thinking about those who would show off their cars worth hundreds of thousands or even millions, hoping everyone in the world would know and envy them, Zhang Qiu felt ashamed for them.

After Lin Jing finished giving instructions, the parking lot boss came over with a smile and asked, "Jing, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, don't worry, Big Brother. Go check what happened! I won't pursue this, but the Li family needs to give an explanation, and the Du family can't be ignored either." Although she called him Big Brother, it felt like Lin Jing was the one in charge. Her tone was so calm, yet it carried an undeniable authority and presence.

It was hard to imagine that such a gentle and composed woman could have such authority. Whether it was due to her family background or her status, it certainly added to her appeal.

Presence! What Lin Jing was displaying was an extraordinary presence! If a regular girl had gone through such an incident, she would have been at a loss, unable to give such calm instructions.

A woman, once beautiful to a certain extent, her appearance becomes less important. It's her presence and aura that truly matter and add to her appeal.

If one really compared the provincial beauties to the city beauties, the provincial beauties might not be much more beautiful, but their presence was clearly different.

Thinking about this, Zhang Qiu was even more curious about what the quasi-national, national, and even world-class beauties would be like. Such women must be true goddesses, but Zhang Qiu couldn't even imagine it. For him, provincial beauties were already absolute goddesses.

This shows that goddesses are defined by the gap. To a loser, a woman is a goddess, but to a rich and handsome man, she's just a woman. This is why losers often lose to rich and handsome men; the gap is too big.

"When will I be able to talk and laugh with important people, and have my words carry weight?" Sometimes, when others talk and laugh with you, it might just be a polite facade, and your words might not carry much weight in their hearts.

Now, Lin Jing's words clearly carried weight in the parking lot boss's heart. Although he called her "Jing," it was just a sign of familiarity. The family behind Lin Jing was a force he couldn't ignore, even a force he couldn't resist.

"I'll check it out! I've already retrieved the footage. It was a stray cat that ran onto the road, causing the accident," the parking lot boss said.

Lin Jing nodded, without any further comment. Suddenly, she turned to Zhang Qiu and said, "Carry me. I don't want to walk this part anymore, I'm a bit tired!"

This statement not only stunned Zhang Qiu but also shocked everyone else to the point of being speechless!

The goddess Lin Jing actually asked a man to carry her! And it was a man with no charm, a country bumpkin! This scene was almost surreal!

Many people felt a knife-like pain in their hearts, filled with the greatest hatred and malice, piercing through the darkness of the night, staring at Zhang Qiu.

If looks could kill, Zhang Qiu would have been executed by now.

Zhang Qiu had long planned to carry Lin Jing, thinking it was impossible, but who would have thought that Lin Jing would suddenly propose it in such a public setting, leaving him a bit surprised.

However, after just a few seconds, he reacted, immediately bending down and reaching back. This calm and composed behavior made people even angrier. You're clearly taking a huge advantage, yet you're so calm, it's just showing off!

But Zhang Qiu's behavior was more heart-wrenching! From this, it was clear that the two were already very familiar, making people wonder if the goddess had already been won over by him.

Such important gossip, and there was no hint of it before. If they had known, who would still consider Lin Jing a goddess? A goddess is someone you can't get, and no one else can get either. If anyone can get her, she's not a goddess.

So some people turned from fans to haters, cursing Lin Jing in their hearts, but they only dared to do so in their minds.

And Zhang Qiu was remembered and hated by everyone.

Lin Jing lightly jumped and landed on Zhang Qiu's back, her hands crossing over his shoulders and around his neck, resting on his chest.

Zhang Qiu's hands naturally cupped Lin Jing's firm buttocks, then smoothly moved to her thighs, adjusting her position and officially carrying her.

Due to his extreme tension, excitement, and agitation, Zhang Qiu forgot what it felt like. He only felt softness! He felt softness on his back and in his hands! Endless softness! At this moment, he truly understood what it meant to be a "soft girl."

Zhang Qiu was too excited to notice the feeling, but the onlookers were all aroused! They imagined all sorts of sensations, each one more excited than the last. Seeing the goddess being touched by a man, feeling her body being squeezed by a man's hands, the impact was unprecedented.

They stared at Zhang Qiu's hands, wishing they could chop off his "dirty hands."

This is a desecration of the goddess in public! You bastard, where are your hands? Directly touching her buttocks, and even her thighs! Damn it! Let go of the goddess, let me do it!

But at this moment, Zhang Qiu felt what the system meant by "growing affection."

Just as he carried Lin Jing, and as his hands slid over her thighs, the system notification appeared again: "Completed passive task: Lin Jing's main task (familiarity): First intimate contact. Difficulty (moderate). Reward: Basic character recognition engine database. Extract?"

"No!" There was no medium to receive the database at this moment.

Completing another task, Zhang Qiu was very excited: "Lin Jing, thank you! I'm going to run with you."

Lin Jing didn't know why Zhang Qiu suddenly thanked her, but she said, "I should be the one to thank you."

As she spoke, Zhang Qiu was already running with her. She felt the mountain wind rushing past her ears, stirring her hair, caressing her face, ears, and neck, giving her a tingling sensation.

Zhang Qiu ran faster and faster, and gradually, it gave her the illusion of speeding. She didn't expect Zhang Qiu's seemingly weak body to be so strong. She couldn't help but pinch his arm, which was indeed as hard as iron, full of muscles.

Feeling the speed of the run, Lin Jing felt the suppressed fear in her heart being released. She couldn't help but scream and shout, repeatedly releasing all the suppressed emotions.

As she shouted, Lin Jing started to laugh. Her body stood up, no longer lying on Zhang Qiu's back. She spread her arms, enjoying the free evening breeze on the mountain road.

The two of them showing affection in public made everyone uncomfortable, and they all drove away.

Only the parking lot boss sighed, "I've never seen Jing so happy before. It seems she has really grown up and has someone she likes. But it's good, someone can help her get over the trauma of the accident, which is good for her."
