“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!”
As he said this, he extended his hand towards . “Co, give your hand!”
I eyed him warily. “What do you want?”
“Give your hand.”
I hesitated for several seconds before reaching out timidly. He grabbed my hand and pulled in front of him. I swayed as he drew towards him, my body so stiff I didn’t dare move.
“Relax a little!”
He looked at and laughed.. “You’re usually quite fierce. You look like you dominate over everything and are not afraid of anything. Why are you so timid now that you’re on roller skates?”
I snorted a few tis but did not reply.
Then he faced , holding my hand as he glided backwards.
I gaped at him, completely amazed.
“Won’t you fall skating backwards?”
“Of course not!” He was obviously very proud of himself, as if it was rare for him to impress soone. “Aren’t I clever?”
Focusing all my attention on my feet, I felt like a trailer as he dragged along.
“You can try moving your feet while maintaining your balance.”
I shook my head like a broken wave drum.
Su Qi said, “Don’t be afraid of falling. Even if you fall, you have for company.”
Given this, I grew a little braver. As he held my hand, I was able to stagger forward. I began to grasp the feel of it, and in the end, I was able to glide smoothly under his lead.
Still, there was a high price to pay for learning how to glide around!
Patches of bruises covered my knees.
By the ti I walked out of the skating rink, my knees felt as though they had cracked from the falls. I grimaced in pain.
Su Qi asked, “Is it serious? Does it hurt a lot?”
Then, he squatted down to take a closer look. Imdiately I shrank back in avoidance and said guiltily, “It’s nothing, I’m fine now! It’s getting late. Send ho!”
Su Qi smiled and stared at my face for a long ti. Suddenly, she said, “So you can be shy too?”
“What do you an by that?!”
“Nothing.” Su Qi glanced at . “Hop on, I’ll send you ho!”
Unwillingly, I got onto the backseat. It was a little unsteady initially, and being nervous, I imdiately gripped the corner of his shirt.
He said, “You can put your arms around if you’re scared.”
“No way!”
Su Qi snorted and said disapprovingly, “Do you know most girls can only dream about a chance to get onto this seat!”
“I don’t care!”
“Okay, okay, great little missy! I’m the one begging you to get onto my bicycle.”
Su Qi went rather fast. The bike sped along the street, into the night. I stared at the wheel at my feet, spinning at a dizzying pace.
The breeze gently lifted the corner of his shirt. On his body, I saw the interweaving shadows cast by the moonlight and street lamps. His body shielded from the bitter evening wind so that I didn’t feel so cold.
When we arrived at my block, I started to feel nervous. This was the first ti I’d been ho so late. I had no idea what to say when I got ho!
Su Qi stuffed my bag into my arms and said, “All the howork is done! Rember to erase and rewrite it when you get ho.”
“How’s the accuracy? There won’t be too many wrong answers, right?”
“You’re kidding. It’s all very simple middle school howork. It’s chicken feed.”
Su Qi looked at as she spoke, then asked, “Want to walk you upstairs?”
“No, I’m fine!”
