Raise Love-127-With a boyfriend to cushion you

"..."

Aria rubbed her face slightly, almost imperceptibly, against his chest and nodded.

Ryder lowered his eyes, his eyes filled with a warm smile. He inserted his fingers between Aria's, tightly holding her small, slightly cold hand, and whispered in the little girl's ear as he counted.

"One."

"Two."

"Three."

"Ready?" Ryder asked with a smile. Aria looked up at him nervously. The boy hooked his lips lazily. "Run -"

As soon as the words fell, before Aria could react, the wind around them suddenly blew violently, rustling past their ears, bringing a chill to their faces.

Ryder, when no one had noticed, tightened his grip on Aria's hand, and the two of them started running towards the wide - open gate of the playground.

Sydney, who was fully engrossed in "shipping" them: "?"

Everyone stared at the two figures, also in a daze.

They, they ran?

It wasn't until the two were almost at the playground gate that someone in the crowd finally came to their senses. "Damn! They kissed halfway and then ran away? Chase them, brothers!!"

"Yeah, damn it. These two are so unsportsmanlike!"

"Sisters, chase them back!"

No one knew who started it or who incited the others, but a group of people suddenly started chasing after the two running figures. A large crowd rushed after them.

After a moment, only a few people were left in place.

They stared at each other.

The sound system was still playing faintly.

After Ryder finished singing, Ryan Bennett had run off, and the sound system switched songs automatically. At this moment, it was playing -

"Single Love Song"

"Find a person I love deeply, passionately, and dearly to say goodbye to being single"

"A passionate, infatuated, heartless, and ruthless person to give me scars"

The people left looked at each other speechlessly: "..."

They remained silent for a long time until the end of this rather appropriate song.

A girl said, "Sisters, let's look on the bright side. There are plenty of two - legged toads in the world. Why should we be stuck on one tree?"

A boy said, "Brothers, it's not worth it. Maybe the little fairy will get tired of him someday. Men are like seasonal items. The president might not be able to hold onto his position as boyfriend for long."

Everyone looked at each other again and collectively sighed sadly: "Alas..."

Now, back to the other side.

After being pulled by Ryder to run, Aria, whose mind was cleared by the cold wind, belatedly remembered that she was a terrible runner.

Before they even ran out of the gate, in a distance of less than two hundred meters, she was already a bit out of breath, as if all her strength had been drained.

Aria pursed her lips.

The physical fitness test at Harvard University was held in November, and the items were very comprehensive. When running the 800 - meter, she almost ran out of breath and still didn't pass in the end. Her performance was as bad as ever.

If it hadn't been for Ryder knowing the PE student in charge of their group and saying a few words, she surely wouldn't have passed.

However, before her speed could slow down, she heard the thumping footsteps and shouts not far behind.

Aria looked back, and her heart almost stopped in fright.

"Ry, Ryder," she gasped as she ran. Due to not being able to breathe properly while running, her breathing was heavy, and she spoke stutteringly. "They're chasing us from behind..."

Ryder couldn't help but laugh.

The little girl's tone was so pitiful that it sounded like she was about to cry.

"You're still laughing!" Aria was angry and almost got a stitch.

"Okay, I'm not laughing." Ryder held the little girl's extremely soft hand and squeezed it. His breathing was as steady as if he was just walking. "I forgot that you get tired after running just a few steps."

Aria glared at him: "..."

This guy was actually making fun of her!

"Tsk."

Ryder felt his scalp tingle and his whole body heat up under the little girl's accusing and aggrieved gaze.

After a while, he bit the tip of his tongue, laughed self - mockingly, and said, "Okay, I won't make you run anymore."

Aria gasped softly.

Come on, she didn't want to either, but she was really tired.

Ryder put his hand on Aria's back to help her catch her breath. The little girl's back was so soft, and she was so thin.

A dark, ambiguous look flashed through his eyes. He suddenly asked with a lazy smile, "Airy, you get this tired after running just a few steps. What will you do when we do more strenuous exercise in the future?"

Aria looked up at him, her expression a bit blank: "?"

What strenuous exercise?

Ryder sneered and whispered something in the little girl's ear. gōΠb.ōγg

"..."

Wh, what?

Aria's mind seemed to explode with a "boom". She was so ashamed that her whole body uncontrollably heated up.

She was ashamed and angry, and whispered to scold him, "Ryder, you're a rascal! We've only been together for a few days. Who wants to do strenuous exercise with you? You have no shame..."

"Yeah," Ryder laughed so hard that his shoulders shook. He nodded in agreement, with a teasing tone, as if he was being serious. "I never knew I was such a rascal before."

He tried to hold back his laughter. "When I see you, I just want to kiss you and do even more excessive things."

At the end, he concluded, "I really am a rascal."

Aria: "..."

"But this rascal can keep you from getting tired."

The next second, Aria felt her hand being let go.

Before she could even wonder, she saw the boy beside her slightly bend down, put one hand around her waist, and the other arm under her legs. Suddenly, her body was lifted off the ground.

"Ah -"

This was the first time Aria had been carried like this. She was so scared that she let out a scream and quickly reached out to hug his neck. "Ryder, what are you doing!"

"Didn't you get tired from running?" Ryder raised his eyebrows, adjusted her in his arms, and Aria let out another scream, hanging tightly onto Ryder, afraid of falling.

She clearly and fearfully felt that she seemed to be lifted up in the air for a moment. She was so scared that she was almost angry. "Ryder!"

"Yeah, I'm here." Ryder chuckled and replied lazily.

The little girl's weight seemed as light as a kitten to him. Holding her wasn't tiring at all. Instead, it was quite fun to tease her like this.

"Afraid of falling?"

Aria pursed her lips. Under the faint light, her bright and round almond - shaped eyes, as if frightened, were moist.

Ryder lowered his head and touched her forehead, gently planting a kiss there.

"Don't worry, you won't fall," the boy laughed so hard that he seemed to have hit some funny spot, and his shoulders were shaking. He was still trying to hold back his laughter as he comforted the little girl in his arms.

"Even if you do fall, your boyfriend will cushion you. Don't be afraid."

Aria let out a soft "oh" and stayed quietly in his arms without speaking, hiding her face. But the corners of her lips and her eyes were quietly filled with a smile.

So this was what it felt like to be carried in a princess - carry.

Her boyfriend was kind of amazing.

The young couple was chatting and flirting as they ran. Before they knew it, Ryder suddenly turned to the side and dodged.

The people chasing them had no idea. When they stopped for those ten - odd seconds, the crowd thought they weren't going to run anymore.

Just as they were about to continue chasing, they saw the president bend down and actually pick up the little girl in a princess - carry and run very fast. The crowd immediately exploded.

They cursed as they chased.

"Damn it, he can run so fast while carrying someone. What kind of arm strength does the president have? His boyfriend power is off the charts!"
