He Yiran got used to the accelerated speed, then put his hand back on Mei Mengzhen's shoulder, grinning and teasing, "I'm the one being a perv, but you can't tell me that wasn't intentional. Why did you suddenly speed up?"
"Because I needed to accelerate! At that pace, we might as well just walk over."
Of course, He Yiran knew she'd said it on purpose. He just gripped Mengzhen's shoulder a bit tighter as they skated along. Spotting a downward slope ahead, He Yiran panicked, "Hey, there's a downhill up front. Are we gonna wipe out?"
"Relax, my board's got brakes."
They rolled to the slope, and Mengzhen lightly tapped the brake on her remote. Sure enough, the skateboard slowed down.
After a tough route, they finally reached the school gate, both exhausted, but immediately spotted Pei Ziyu and Tan Jia's car—and both felt a wave of relief.
"Finally made it."
"Finally made it."
