  Part- 310:

  Mili rolled her eyes pyfully. “Oh, please! I’ll never fet my roots,” she said dramatically, resting her on her hand. “I’ll make sure to have a whole se of my fan club dedicated to my judo friends! We’ll be the best ‘Team Mili’ out there.” Her ughter rang out, filling the café with their shared joy, and in that moment, they both felt as if they could take on the world together.

  James smiled, genuinely impressed. "What’s your favorite part about cyg?"

  She thought for a moment, her gaze drifting toward the window where the bustling street life flowed by. "I love the freedom of it. When I’m on my bike, it’s just me and the road. I lose myself in the ride, feeling the wind rush past me. It's exhirating."

  James chuckled. "I imagine! You’ve always beeo embrace adventure. I remember when you rode your bike all the way to that city streets just to prove you could do it."

  Mili ughed, the memory clearly bringing her joy. "That was such a fun day! I got lost a few times, but it was worth it for the view at the top."

  "You really do love to push your limits, don’t you?" James said, admiration g his tone.

  "Absolutely!" she replied, leaning forward. "It’s all about challenging yourself and seeing how far you go. Plus, it helps me clear my mind, especially with all the pressure from school and training."

  James nodded, uanding her perspective. "I get that. Training be really intense, and it’s good to have an outlet. Do you have a favorite route for cyg?"

  Mili’s face lit up as she spoke. "There’s this beautiful park trail near my house. It’s surrounded by trees, and there’s a small ke where I stop and take a break. It’s peaceful, and I love going there in the early m when the sun rises."

  "Sounds perfect," James said, picturing it in his mind. "I bet the sery is breathtaking."

  "It really is! Sometimes I bring my camera and take pictures. I love capturing the moments," Mili replied enthusiastically.

  "You should show me some of those pictures sometime," James suggested. "I’d love to see what you’ve been capturing."

  Mili grinned. "Definitely! I’d love to share them with you. Maybe n a cyg trip together sometime? It’d be fun!"

  James perked up at the idea. "That sounds awesome! I’m not a pro like you, but I’m down for an adventure. Just promise not to leave me in the dust!"

  Mili ughed, her eyes sparkling. "I promise! I’ll make sure to keep a reasonable pace for you."

  "You better," he said, pretending to scowl. "Or I’ll have to challenge you to a race!"

  Mili pced a hand on her heart in mock offense. "Oh, you wouldn’t dare! You know I’d win!"

  James smirked, leaning ba his chair. "Is that a challenge? Because I’m up for it!"

  "Bring it on!" Mili shot back, both of them ughing.

  As their ughter faded, James took another sip of his cappuo, feeling grateful for moments like this. Mili’s passion for cyg was tagious, and he could see how much it meant to her.
