On the way back, Xie Qianduo resolutely refused to sit in the truck bed again. After negotiating for a long time, she finally chose to sit behind He Wenjie. She would rather risk letting He Wenjie take advantage of her than sit in the truck bed and freeze in the wind.
On the return trip, He Wenjie leisurely drove along at fifty miles per hour. Sitting behind him with her arms wrapped around his waist, Xie Qianduo complained, "I feel like I've been scammed. Did you have this scenario in mind the whole time you were coming here? You must have known it wouldn't be comfortable sitting in the back, and that I'd end up riding behind you on the way back. You just wanted to take advantage of me, didn't you?"
"You really are judging a gentleman with a petty mind," He Wenjie retorted. "I was kind enough to take you for a joyride, and not only are you ungrateful, but you're actually slandering me. If I wanted to take advantage of you, would I be driving this smoothly? If I wanted to take advantage of you, I'd drive like this." With that, He Wenjie slammed on the brakes, catching Xie Qianduo completely off guard and sending her crashing straight against his back. Then he immediately accelerated back to his previous speed. Before Xie Qianduo could even react, she instinctively hugged him tightly—though unfortunately, Xie Qianduo's modest build was not enough to make He Wenjie's heart skip a beat.
