I let out a breath. We sit and pant. He looks at me. His eyes were wide.

"You...saved me." He says.

He turns to me.

"Why?" He asks.

"Are you not grateful? I could've dropped you." I say. 

He lets out a small laugh. This is awkward. I look at his arm. There was a scar. It looks bad.

"I'm sorry for uh that." I point at his arm.

"I guess I should apologize to for trying to kill you and your sister." He says.

"Adoptive." I say.

He turns to me. 

"What?" He asks.

"Her parents are dead. She's been a part of our family for five years." I say.

"Must be nice." He says.

"It was." I say.

He looks at me. Okay, this is getting really awkward. I slowly stood up. He stands up. We look at each other. A really weird feeling bubbles up.  My face feels hot and not from the fire. I pull my bike over. I see his car was completely impaled by the rocks. I let out a breath. 

"Hey, need a ride? If you like this, I can give you a ride." I say.

He smiles and gets on. 

"Ao Bing." He says.

"What?" I turn to him. 

"My name." He says.

"Thanks for that." I say.

Well, that mystery is finally solved.
