Take Me Away

Chapter 35 Take You For A Ride

Fiona strolled from the hospital to the university's auditorium, where busy students bustled about. She

dodged and dodged, avoiding bumping into anyone so as not to disturb, and quietly found a place to sit

down.

Meanwhile, at the center of the stage, Ryan directed those moving the curtain covers. "Yes, a little

higher. Lift that fold right there..."

"Ryan, how about this bulletin?"

He turned around and put a hand on the man's shoulder. "Ask some people to hang it there."

"How about this..."

People bombarded him with questions at a pace that would throw the almost anyone off, but he

patiently accommodated every single one of them with a smile.

As Fiona stared at him, her mind began to wander.

"Hey, Fiona is here!" Ryan’s roommate, Warren, was also part of the student council. As he looked

back and spotted Fiona, he quickly tapped on his roommate’s shoulder.

Ryan instantly turned to catch a glimpse of her sitting quietly not far away. He could not figure out why

such a seemingly indifferent expression captivated him. He hurriedly put aside his work and patted

Warren on the shoulder. "Watch the rest for me! You can go once things are done. I’m gonna leave

now."

"Tsk! Tsk! The power of love is indeed immeasurable." Warren grabbed Ryan by the shoulder before he

could go too far. "You seem to be head over heels in love with her."

"Well, I really am." Ryan smiled slyly before turning to walk towards Fiona.

As soon as she caught a glimpse of him, she stood up. "Ryan."

"I thought you weren’t going to come!" Ryan smiled at her. "It’s dinnertime."

"I went home for a bit. I got back late. The auditorium is so well decorated, by the way."

"Really?" The smile on his face grew bigger. "I’m flattered to have been complimented by you."

She smiled, surprised.

"How about we have dinner together?" Ryan asked after a long awkward silence.

"Are you done with your work?"

"Well, the rest is up to somebody else, so..." He glanced at Warren, then took out a bike key from his

pocket. He waved it up for Fiona to see. "Let's go for a ride. I have a bike with me this time."

"By bike?" Fiona blinked.

"Yes!" Ryan stood proudly. "I'm a good biker."

Fiona looked amused, but nevertheless nodded and followed Ryan out.

Flanking the D University’s main avenue were dense sycamore trees. Passing through them leisurely

were a boy and a girl riding a bike. The boy wore a shirt that clung to his lean body as it flapped against

the breeze, while the girl with the white skirt wrapped her hands around the boy’s waist for support. It

was like looking at a movie.

"How is it so far? Not bad, right?" Ryan turned his head slightly to the back.

"Do you mean your biking skills or the view?" Fiona looked at him mischievously.

"Well..." Ryan feigned annoyance and sighed. "I guess it depends on what you say."

Fiona smiled. "They’re both fine."

"Ha-ha..." Ryan laughed. "I’ll go a little quicker, then. One, two, three, and...here we go!"

"Ahhh!" Fiona exclaimed. She grasped on Ryan’s waist tighter and started to laugh.

Ryan’s face lit up at her beautiful laugh. It would have been okay if the road didn’t end and he had to do

this with her forever.

As Sophia and Leona walked out of the canteen, they saw the two having fun. Instead of coming up to

greet them, however, Sophia snapped a photo and immediately posted it on the school forum.

"What are you doing?" Leona murmured and lowered her head, just as she noticed Ryan’s wide smile.

"I'm helping Ryan!" Sophia smiled. "Let us spread the good news between Ryan and Fiona. I hope

everybody finds out."

Spencer decided to check in online as he took a break. He turned on his computer, and as he entered

the school forum, he saw the top post.

"The most handsome man and prettiest girl of D University are together! What a perfect couple!" ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

His eyes slowly darkened as he clicked for the photo and came across Ryan riding a bike with Fiona.

Bang! Spencer pounded the table and gritted his teeth. 'Fiona, are you dating him? Let’s see how long

you can be together!'
