Now parked again on the starting line, with the roar of the engine in his ears, even though it’s just an underground race, the familiar feeling continuously flashes accident scenes in his mind, which caused Chen Xiangbei to get distracted and insert the wrong buckle.
"No worries, maybe this Corolla hasn’t been maintained, the engine is a bit shaky."
"The engine isn’t shaking, I’m the one who’s shaking..."
Fatty Wang asked with a trembling voice, "Xiangbei, is Uncle Liang, that dodgy old man, really not telling a single truth, can you do this or not?"
"Come on, we’re already here, what’s the point of saying that now?"
"So many people are watching, hurry up and switch the buckle back, remember, act natural and don’t let it show!"
Chen Xiangbei deliberately emphasized, his face flushed with embarrassment, considering he was a top racer in his past life, how shameful it would be if the "onlookers" found out he inserted the wrong buckle.
However, this reminder came too late, Fatty Wang’s trembling hands were seen by the onlooking racers while trying to fasten the seatbelt.
He turned to Qin Lianjie with an incredulous tone, "Brother Jie, these two guys seem clueless, do you think there won’t be trouble during tonight’s mountain run?" ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝘯𝘦𝘵
"It’s not a race we organized, they chose to run themselves, it’s all about fate."
Qin Lianjie’s tone was calm. If you’re afraid of dying, then why race?
The onlooking racer nodded after hearing Qin Lianjie’s words, agreeing with the logic, shrugged his shoulders, and said no more.
Two cars lined up side by side on the starting line, Shinemance glanced smugly at Wang Yidong’s Corolla and couldn’t help but boast, "Fatty Wang, it’s not like I want to hit you when you’re down, but with the gap in looks and talent aside, can Xu Yali even get in that junk car of yours?"
Hearing Shinemance’s voice, Chen Xiangbei glanced over, and the first thing he saw was Xu Yali’s face in the passenger seat.
Xu Yali wasn’t the type to dress provocatively, smoke, drink, or hang out in nightclubs. On the contrary, her straight black hair, floral dress, and oval face complemented by her bright eyes, gave her a pure and sweet girl-next-door vibe.
Just like Mogi Natsuki, if you only look at her appearance, you wouldn’t imagine she’d engage in compensated dating for money.
Indeed, the prettier the woman, the more deceitful she is.
"You have nothing but a pile of cash, what are you showing off for!"
Wang Yidong could tolerate other things, but being mocked in front of Xu Yali really got to him.
"A broke guy with nothing but a sharp tongue, do you want me to drive slower so your junk can catch up?"
"You might as well rename yourself to Big Talk Shine, even with your driving skills you couldn’t beat Chen Xiangbei in a plane."
"Whoever releases the gas pedal first is a grandson; whoever touches the brakes is a dog!"
Wang Yidong wasn’t backing down with his smack talk, but to Chen Xiangbei, it felt somewhat off.
Releasing the gas or braking, wasn’t that his job? So Fatty Wang just contributes his big mouth?
While the two were taunting each other, a Light Point Team racer couldn’t stand it and walked to the middle of both cars to ask, "Are you guys racing or not?"
"Ready when you are, signal for the start!"
Faced with the Light Point racer’s urging, Shinemance and Wang Yidong unhappily rolled up the windows.
"Fatty Wang, didn’t we agree not to be a simp, why so worked up?"
Looking at Wang Yidong’s flushed face, Chen Xiangbei advised.
Purely Shinemance’s provocation shouldn’t have agitated him so much; it must still be about Xu Yali.
This time, Wang Yidong didn’t argue back, just lowered his head and quietly responded.
"If it weren’t for real feelings, who would want to be a simp."
