Chapter 52: Ride Together

After the farewell dinner, it was nearing 5 a.m.

For someone like William, sleep was irrelevant. Even if he were to go without it for a century, it wouldn't affect him.

But Evelyn was different.

She was just an ordinary person—attending school by day and working at night. Naturally, her body would feel the strain over time.

Upon leaving the bar, Evelyn paused, her eyes widening in disbelief. "Were you joking earlier? How can someone your age not know how to ride a bike?" she asked, a hint of astonishment evident in her gaze.

William sheepishly shook his head, "I genuinely don't."

Evelyn chuckled, replying, "Alright then, I'll teach you." She confidently mounted her bike and began demonstrating the basic techniques of cycling to William. Every move, every point of balance, she explained in great detail. For William, although it seemed like his first attempt, he caught on remarkably fast. It was almost as if, after just one demonstration from Evelyn, he could mimic her perfectly, handling the bike as though he had been riding for years.

Watching William ride effortlessly, a suspicion crossed Evelyn's mind, "Is he doing this on purpose to get close to me?" The thought made her smile; after all, why would someone like William resort to such a tactic to approach her?

On the way back to school, only William and Evelyn remained.

Cycling side by side on the quiet road, there was no tension between them, and clearly, no ulterior motives.

"Evelyn, do you have any wishes?" William now seemed like a veritable magic lamp. Should Evelyn voice a desire, he could fulfill it for her.

While others might boast about plucking stars from the sky, if William wanted to fetch something from any place in our solar system, the Milky Way, or even further, he certainly could. He could even use his superpowers to shrink planets down to the size of a grain of rice.

"I don't have any wishes." Even though Evelyn felt that William seemed to be on a path of redemption, they hadn't known each other well enough to delve into personal aspirations.

Then, casually, William asked, "With your work schedule, do you ever get to sleep?"

"I take naps during the day, so it's fine," Evelyn replied, feeling that silence between them might be more awkward. Laughing, she added, "Weren't you doing well working at the bar? Why'd you quit?"

William replied, "Consider it me having earned enough to get by. Besides, catering to the whims of the wealthy isn't all that appealing."

When he first started at the bar, he considered leveraging his talents to thrive. But because of him, the clientele changed, and it wasn't something Maria and Caleb could handle anymore.

William didn't want to resort to violence at every turn. In this peaceful era without war, if he wanted to blend into society successfully, the best he could do was adhere to its rules.

"You made enough in just two days?" Evelyn had no idea how much William had earned over those two days. She'd guessed at most a few thousand dollars and never imagined William could make thirty thousand dollars in just two days.
