By the time Lotus was discharged from the pet hospital, where it received a few stitches on its head, it was almost midnight.

Holding the dog on a leash, Susan had wanted to hail a taxi home. Unfortunately, when the taxi drivers saw that it was two youngsters with a dog at that ungodly hour, none of the drivers were willing to take them.

Left without a choice, both of them rented a bicycle for the journey home.

Lotus sat on top while they walked alongside it.

"Ian, I'm so exhausted that I can't another step," Susan complained pitifully. After maintaining an uncomfortable posture to support the dog, she could no longer keep it up.

She had barely spoken when Ian, who was pushing the bicycle, stopped in his tracks.

Turning around to look at her in the dark and deserted street, he plainly instructed, "Get on."

Susan was surprised. "Huh? l-lf I get on, where is Lotus going to sit?"

"Carry it!"

Finally, there was a minute change in his emotion, one that reflected the frustration he felt.

When Susan realized her dimwittedness, she threw him an awkward glance.

Blushing till her ears were red, she hurriedly climbed up the bicycle where she hugged Lotus, brimming with elation.

"Ian, are we.... heavy?”

"Not at all."

"Okay."
