Chapter 8, The Place Closest to Heaven

Unable to contain the surging emotions within, my heart is screaming loudly. At the same time, the motorcycle sped along, darting into the tunnel in the mountain like an arrow

The howling wind completely lifted my bangs, blowing from the left to the right, a small tuft of bangs brushed against my eyes, making it nearly impossible for me to open them.

"Xing An, you have truly changed! Weren't you someone who used to dislike crowded places?" Xiao Yu raised her finely arched eyebrows and shook her head, saying, "Moreover, isn't the type of boy you like the artistic youth who writes poetry in the library? You can't possibly be captivated by Mu Bei's Harley, can you?"

However, I, sitting in the back seat, have already been stunned by this speed that far exceeds imagination

I couldn't help but laugh: "Are you trying to take me into a cartoon?"

Do you know him

Hurry up! Faster! The girl in the BMW seat is surprisingly still shouting excitedly.

I suddenly regret following Ye Mubei to this so-called street racing venue. I should have anticipated that she would never miss such an exhilarating gathering as a street racing competition

"I don't know." He pressed the accelerator, with 3 seconds left on the red light, "Xing An, hold on to me tight."

Observing Ye Mubei's composed demeanor, I suddenly felt that I should have unwavering confidence in him, for not everyone can remain so calm when facing the life-and-death urgency of battle

I have just come to understand the true meaning of what Ye Mubei referred to as "the place closest to heaven"

Not only are there angels, but there are also many demons

If demons were all like him, then who would still want to go to heaven? The angels would all be in tears

An unprecedented excitement suddenly enveloped me, and I was almost trembling all over, yet at the same time, I was also surrounded by a sense of fear, a fear of the unfamiliar world.

I was taken aback for a moment, then shook my head

Just two months ago, I was still trying to bring Lin Xiaoyu back home, yet at this moment, I find myself standing on an underground racing track

"If I don't take her, should I take you instead?" Ye Mubei said, shaking a finger, "Taking you would lack challenge."

Listening to the two people in front of me exchanging what seemed to be a coded conversation, I felt somewhat bewildered: "What? You want to take me on the road? Are you going to take me to a street racing competition?"

"It's nothing, this is a straight road that leads all the way through. Once we exit the tunnel, we will have won," Ye Mubei said as he glanced at his watch. "Damn it, still couldn't break the record! Forget it, winning is still pretty good!"

Turning my head to take a look, I saw the girl sitting in the back seat of the BMW staring coldly at me. If I got any closer, she could easily reach out and push me, and the consequences would be unimaginable. Instantly, a layer of cold sweat broke out on my back.

In the next moment, her gaze collided with mine, and indeed, a faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips

"Little wild cat, do you want her to back out and then take my back seat herself?" Ye Mubei scoffed with a smile, placing his hand on my shoulder, and said to her, "Tell me, how could I bear to throw your dear sister down from the mountain? She is so well-behaved, so adorable!"

I was terrified by his actions and shouted, "Pay attention to what is ahead!"

Xiaoyu's voice was loud enough for everyone within a two-meter radius to hear clearly, and a wave of boos came from behind her. Not knowing what to say, I looked at her in silence, a sense of humiliation quickly tightening around my throat and gripping my heart. At that moment, she was sharper than ever, behaving like a string of chili peppers, both pungent and spicy.

Ye Mubei's voice was deep and clear, coming from a nearby location

Ah... I can no longer suppress the fear within me and let out a loud scream

I opened my eyes wide, fixating on that familiar face. Her slender eyes were accentuated with heavy eyeliner, and what was originally a delicate face now bore an air of maturity that was somewhat incongruous with her age due to the thick makeup.

As soon as he finished speaking, the roar emitted by the Harley was noticeably different. The trees on both sides flew backward at a speed so fast that they were barely visible, and the needle almost moved in a straight line, quickly jumping to 150.

The man glanced at me, then turned to Ye Mubei and said a few words, after which the two of them burst into laughter

When she turned around, I couldn't help but gasp sharply - Lin Xiaoyu

"Look out! I am going to take them down after three turns!" Ye Mubei cursed and shouted ahead.

The oppressive wind by the sea carries a scorching temperature, and my tears have long been dried up, perhaps due to exhaustion, even my tear glands have ceased to function. I lean against Ye Mubei's back, the rhythm of the engine seems to connect with the beat of his pulse, creating a roaring sound akin to rock music. Closing my eyes, I listen quietly, not wanting to think of anything.

Damn it

Then let him go with ! ''

Fortunately, the other party does not seem to have such intentions for the time being, merely accelerating, sometimes in front and sometimes behind, maintaining a heart-wrenching distance.

Devil? I frowned, truly unable to imagine what kind of place that could be.

Where are we going today? I asked after a long time

They do not seem to be competing very seriously; they are merely navigating through the relatively light traffic, and in the blink of an eye, they have overtaken more than ten vehicles

"Rest assured, today is an auspicious day, and everything is favorable." Ye Mubei, unfazed by Xie Yu's hysteria, lowered his head to play with his phone, responding in a relaxed tone.

Before me swayed many youthful faces, these girls were merely of the same age as I, yet they chose overly revealing attire. The low-cut necklines of their tank tops allowed flickering lights to rush by in the night, dazzling and disorienting, leaving me somewhat at a loss.

"Have you felt a little better seeing me?"

I am not mistaken; it is indeed her

What?

This cold joke is not funny at all, yet I still laughed. After laughing, I suddenly felt a wave of immense sadness wash over me again

He has been following us all along

I have a general understanding of what is happening; this is an unusual gathering

After the third bend, Suzuki fell behind by about 10 meters. Although it closely pursued from behind, it was ultimately unable to catch up with Ye Mubei

She squinted her eyes and cast a disdainful glance at me, saying, "Don't tell me you're going to bring her along? When did you get involved with her? You sure are quick to act!"

The Harley cruised along a stretch of coastal road, making a turn. At the red light, Ye Mubei came to a stop

A place close to paradise

In this world, who still cares about my happiness and sorrow

I struggled to free one hand to tuck my skirt under my bottom, trying hard to prevent it from flying up. Turning my face, I saw the driver sitting in the taxi staring at Ye Mubei with a look of terror, his face turning pale with fear

I am indeed moved. Of course, at this critical juncture, I have no other choice.

Most of the people who have come here do not resemble high school students; a few young individuals seeking thrills are gathered together, exchanging the cigarettes in their hands. Amidst this unfamiliar and despondent crowd, I could not find a trace of familiarity.

Yet, unable to integrate into the situation, I could only stiffly cling to his back. The wind billowed his T-shirt, and the Harley continued to accelerate. His broad and warm back transmitted a shiver that synchronized with the motorcycle, causing my scalp to tingle.

Xing An, you truly are my goddess of victory! Haha! At this moment, Ye Mu Bei surprisingly still has the leisure to turn back and glance at me.

I am completely oblivious to the mechanical world that these boys are obsessed with; all I know is that these unique iron steeds seem to encompass everything that sends adrenaline surging through all men, driving them to madness

Street racing and competition—these terms usually seem like they belong only in movies, far removed from my life. I never expected that one day they would come so close to me!

Walking alongside the Grim Reaper while maintaining such a relaxed attitude is truly too cool!

Ten minutes, neither long nor short, constitute countless segments of a person's life. What can one do in these ten minutes? Write a page of exercises, memorize ten words, eat a bowl of plain noodles, or simply stare blankly at the advertisements on television. Yet, I can use these ten minutes to experience the thrill of speed with Ye Mubei, challenging my heartbeat amidst the exhilaration.

I care

"Xing An, aren't you going to study tonight? Aren't you about to take an exam?" Xiao Yu looked at me, who was blushing in embarrassment, and deliberately raised her voice. Her high and clear tone immediately attracted the attention of many people around us. "If you attend the gathering tonight, what will happen to today's review plan? If you don't score one hundred and fifty points, your dad will spank you!"

Her scream was drowned out by the roar of motorcycles. At some point, a small clearing appeared around Ye Mubei's motorcycle. The oddly dressed men and women crowded by the roadside fell unusually silent. The mountain road was lined with flickering headlights, resembling pairs of ravenous beastly eyes. On this starting line marked by bricks, three motorcycles roared to life. All eyes were inevitably drawn to them and the beautiful women seated behind them. On this starting line marked by bricks, three motorcycles roared to life. All eyes were inevitably drawn to them and the beautiful women seated behind them

A complex feeling surged within me, various emotions swirling and tormenting my heart, on the verge of exploding. I could not take my eyes off her face, and even breathing became extraordinarily difficult

A low murmur of laughter arose around, accompanied by the rustling whispers of the wind passing through the trees. Those shallow, furtive glances flickered like beasts from the jungle

Does he care about what kind of person I am, whether I am tired, or whether I am happy or not

I lifted my head, and his eyes sparkled under the light, resembling black diamonds. His voice exuded an indescribable aura of heroism. It felt as though I was completely enveloped by the masculine hormones emanating from him, leaving me momentarily dizzy

"Of course I bet on your car!" Xiaoyu glanced at me and raised her chin, saying, "You honestly tell me, when you said you were taking her on the road just now, you were joking, right?"

In this jungle filled with an air of danger, I, dressed in standard school uniform, with a ponytail and a plain face, am no different from a foolish girl who accidentally wandered into a nightclub instead of going to the library to borrow books. I even feel like a sheep that has strayed into a pack of wolves. Everyone's gaze drifts towards me, intentionally or unintentionally, and my bewildered expression along with the collar of my uniform fluttering in the mountain breeze seems to provide them with great amusement. After receiving numerous looks of either mockery or curiosity, I have to force myself to suppress my youthful expression and try to acclimate to the atmosphere around me.

After receiving numerous looks of either mockery or curiosity, I have to force myself to suppress my youthful expression and try to acclimate to the atmosphere around me

Hey! Brother Li! Your taste has changed from spicy grilled chicken leg burgers to Japanese sashimi!" A chubby man with a buzz cut approached, his upper body bare, revealing a body full of flab, and then he glanced at me. The strange smile on his face made me feel uncomfortable all over

In an instant, the roar created by dozens of motorcycles nearly shattered my eardrums, resembling the sound of an airplane speeding down the runway before takeoff. All my senses were engulfed by this howling, leaving me unable to hear any other sounds.

I nodded, although I was not entirely clear about what I was doing or what I was promising. Perhaps in hindsight, this was not a wise choice, but at least I will not regret it

In just five seconds, the speed of the Harley surged to eighty kilometers per hour, and my heartbeat quickened in response

No motorcycles can be seen behind; they are likely just companions for practice or simply there to join in the excitement

Ye Mubei! Have you lost your mind? You will be harmed by her!" Lin Xiaoyu shouted in disbelief, "She knows nothing! How dare you let her get in the car! What if she gets so nervous on the way that she jumps up and chokes you? What will you do then!

The heavy helmet weighed down on me, making it nearly impossible to think; the world seemed confined within this narrow field of vision, with only the ever-changing road illuminated brightly by the streetlights before me. Dizziness and weakness in my legs were my only sensations

The sound of a camera shutter clicked in my ear. I turned around to see two or three girls crowded in front of a heavy motorcycle, gathered around a rider, holding up their phones and making funny faces for selfies, their unrestrained laughter echoing everywhere.

40 degrees! No, 45 degrees! The entire vehicle is tilted at a terrifying angle. If it drops another five centimeters, my knees will definitely have a gruesome collision with the ground!

Ye Mubei let out a sharp whistle, resembling the leader of a wolf pack, and immediately I heard a chorus of whistling and piercing howls rising and falling in unison

Is this still not fast enough? I already feel like I'm about to float away!

"Is that also Harley?" I asked as I tugged at Yemu Bei's sleeve.

The curve resembled a scythe glinting with silver light, arrogantly positioned ahead. ... Ye Mubei lowered his body even further, and in the next moment, the Harley surged towards the curve at an incredible speed, leaning towards the ground ...

He was silent for a moment, then asked again

Am I to say that, in fact, I just like his unrestrained and free-spirited nature?

Fool, do you think that Harley is the only brand of heavy motorcycles in the world? That is merely a Japanese-made off-road motorcycle

I couldn't help but exclaim, and instinctively tightened my embrace around his waist

The first turn brought me an unprecedented thrill, and it truly allowed me to witness the terrifying aspects of high speed

Ye Mubei's loud reminder startled me, causing me to instinctively tighten my grip around his waist. It was only then that I realized that due to prolonged tension, my hands and feet had become stiff. Such a simple action made all the muscles in my body ache.

If it is truly possible to traverse and leave this world, that would be quite good

In the midst of the swift winds and flashing lightning, a wave of unease surged within my heart

On the other side of the street, a gray-black heavy motorcycle also came to a stop at the same time. With its rugged lines and astonishing bulk, the motorcycle, similar to Ye Mubei's Harley, appeared in the same place, instantly making us the focus of attention for passersby

The air is filled with a strange mixture of tobacco and perfume, somewhat pungent

As long as I am with him, even the most ordinary scenery becomes beautiful, and everything feels interesting to do

Kid! Your car is terrible! The tires are not inflated, and the engine lacks power! Forget it! Don't compete with me! I'm going ahead!" Across a yellow taxi, Ye Mubei shouted loudly at the boy.

His voice was overflowing with the joy of victory, seemingly infecting me with his emotions, as tension and excitement erupted from every pore of my body, magnified several times in my heartbeat. In just a short span of about ten minutes, I unexpectedly experienced the real enactment of speed and passion, transitioning from fear of the rapid pace to conquering that fear, and the fervor brought about by this conquest swept over my body and mind like a hurricane

"Don't be nervous, we are definitely going to win." Ye Mubei caught my hand that was resting on his waist and gently tucked it into the pocket of his jacket. He lifted his chin slightly to the left and said, "Do you see that white car? It's a BMW, modified. But this guy has raced against me several times, and although he is said to be a member of a professional club, he gets left behind by me every time we hit a turn."

After a brief exchange of glances, Ye Mubei extended his hand to high-five Lin Xiaoyu, as a way of greeting her

Ye Mubei was completely unaware that I was so nervous my teeth were chattering. He kept his gaze fixed ahead, as if he had become one with the motorcycle, occasionally shouting in excitement, only to be drowned out by the sound of the engine.

A deeper and gentler voice sounded in my ear

The distance between Harley and Suzuki is continuously decreasing during acceleration, five meters, four meters, three meters, and ahead lies another sharp turn.

This description is truly too grand, too flattering, and excessively romantic for me. It is like a dose of poison, piercing sharply into my heart, and the vain pleasure instantly robs me of all ability to resist

She then turned her head, a smile on her face, and raised her middle finger at Ye Mubei, fully embodying the essence of provocation

I pressed my cheek against Ye Mubei's back, silently listening to his strong heartbeat, merging with my own heartbeat

With a speed that exceeds all limits, I left the "Dark Red Phantom" far behind; in that moment of exhilaration, I found myself somewhat infected by the thrill.

My palms are already covered in sweat, no, there is also a layer of cold sweat on my back, but it is quickly dried by the wind

"It's nothing, not even two hundred yet!" came Ye Mubei's leisurely voice from the front.

Hearing her such direct and impolite words, my face turned red instantly

The owner of the motorcycle is a young man not wearing a helmet, resembling a university student, with a pair of oversized goggles, a denim vest, and a metallic pendant around his neck that glimmers with a dazzling light

I turned around and found that the unfamiliar rider was still staring at me. Sitting on the back seat was a tall girl dressed in fashion, wearing white hot pants, with long legs, and her gaze was like that of a feline in the jungle, proud and aloof

I looked around, observing more than a dozen heavy motorcycles of various models, most of which exuded a strong metallic scent and shone with a wild brilliance. The riders were dressed like ninjas, wearing black T-shirts or leather jackets, with oversized goggles beneath their helmets. A boy, wearing a skull mask or perhaps a bandana, was staring intently at me from two meters away. I noticed his arms were covered in colorful tattoos, and an ominous feeling began to rise within me. A boy, wearing a skull mask or perhaps a bandana, was staring intently at me from two meters away. I noticed his arms were covered in colorful tattoos, and an ominous feeling began to rise within me

Accelerate! Hold on tight! Don't lose focus!

The wind grew stronger, and the cold air filled my dry eye sockets, causing tears to overflow, which were then blown to my temples by the wind. I pressed my face tightly against Ye Mubei's broad back, as if I were fused with him.

Of course, I can also imagine how proud her expression would be when she sees me, this good student, sitting in the back seat where she once sat

In life, there is always someone who wants to go somewhere with me; no matter what we do, I will not care.

Ye Mubei once said that if he could choose only one way of life, it would be freedom. I believe that for him, a heavy motorcycle probably symbolizes freedom

I turned to look around, and several more roaring motorcycles had appeared without my noticing. Almost every rider had a girl dressed in cool attire on the back seat, with hot pants and tank tops that showcased their good figures. The various rich scents of perfume wafting through the space intertwined, adding a touch of sensuality to the evening gathering on the mountain road

His sharply defined profile shone brilliantly under the warm yellow light, and his deep voice was filled with ambition. Inspired by him, I inexplicably became exhilarated. I thought, this is his gift, a talent bestowed upon him by God, and not everyone can set aside their fear of speed to challenge the limits of their psychological endurance

Goddess of Victory? Is this really referring to me

I sighed and said, "Do you really love speeding this much? In the future, you could drive an ambulance or become a police officer dedicated to intercepting criminals; that would be a good choice."

The red Suzuki came all the way across two cities specifically to challenge me to a race. His stance looks quite good, but I wonder how he will perform later on. Ye Mubei said to me softly as he glanced to the right

I glanced at the BMW, its body shimmering with a silver glow in the night. The rider was fully equipped with professional gear—a racing suit, a silver helmet, and an eagle-shaped belt buckle on his belt. Can Ye Mubei shake off such an opponent

I was rendered speechless by her, only able to stare at her. I know that Ye Mubei would never do such a thing, and Lin Xiaoyu's joke is truly not amusing at all, even to the point of being boring

The road is rapidly accelerating forward, tears blur my vision, and I can hardly open my eyes. The wind lifts my long hair, striking against my bare neck, causing a slight pain.

Well, if my car is fast enough, perhaps I can make it through

"Do not be afraid, that is just a sleeve, a fake!" Ye Mubei, who had tightened his sleeve, turned around and laughed at my terrified expression, while his eyes sparkled with excitement

"Did you not see that there aren't many cars on the road here at night? The road conditions are good for speeding, and there are many sharp turns here. Such mountain roads can test a driver's reaction ability." He pointed to the dark mountain peak and said, "From here to the top of the mountain, it's about thirty kilometers. Two years ago, a legendary figure nicknamed 'White Light' completed the entire distance in just twelve minutes. Today, I am going to break his record!"

Before I could react, the car flew out, and a tremendous inertia nearly threw me out of the vehicle

What would happen if we give him ten minutes

The curve, this is the curve

As if understanding the other party's intention, Ye Mubei briefly activated the turn signal, which seemed to be some kind of signal

The motorcycle slowed down. Having grown accustomed to the temperature of the wind, I still find it quite comfortable. At least for now, I feel very calm, and I only wish this moment could last a little longer

I found his various inappropriate words to be quite jarring. I straightened my back with some reluctance, yet I couldn't help but lean a little closer to Ye Mubei.

Ye Mubei turned his gaze towards that direction, and the owner of the off-road motorcycle seemed to have noticed us long ago. He turned his head, and the two exchanged glances for a few seconds. Suddenly, the rider extended his right hand, turned his thumb up, and pointed downwards.

Although the sound of the motorcycle was loud, I still heard his laughter

Well, demon, for example, I am the worst demon there, the great demon, they all call me His Highness Lucifer

It turns out they are competing against each other

She did not linger her gaze on me for long, but soon shifted it to Ye Mubei, walking straight over with a pair of high heels that were at least 10 centimeters tall, her posture swaying yet composed

Slow down! There are cars ahead! It's too dangerous!" Upon noticing that there were several cars ahead, including a large truck, I couldn't help but anxiously slap Ye Mubei's shoulder and scream.

I... my matters do not require your concern, do they!" My face flushed again; although I lacked confidence, as someone in a disadvantaged position, I still made an effort to maintain a thread of composure within me and coldly retorted.

Come on, entrust it to me with confidence

You ... ... '' Apart from such unimaginative monosyllables, I cannot think of anything else for the time being

Please! The match tonight is so important, how can you still act recklessly! Do you want to embarrass yourself in front of so many people and let your brothers down?

Trust my skills, this is not fast, the speed is only seventy-eight

I pressed my chin against Ye Mubei's back, applying some force, and then replied softly, "Mm."

I want to say that there are not many boys in high school who own their first Harley, like Ye Mubei. He is probably the youngest rider among all those present. As for his riding skills, I might find some answers from the smiles of those surrounding him, warmly greeting him.

"Are you going to race?" I swallowed hard and asked with a dry voice.

Riding the motorcycle all the way up Longshan, I found myself nearing the outskirts of the city. The roadsides were lined with undeveloped hills, and gas stations were quite rare. There were not many vehicles on the road, which was not surprising; what was surprising was the unusually high number of motorcycles tonight. When I sat on Ye Mubei's bike and reached the end of this several thousand-meter-long mountain road, I discovered that it was actually a large park. As far as the eye could see, there were dense black trees and heavy motorcycles. Those roaring massive machines appeared one after another, eerily following behind Ye Mubei, and within ten minutes, six or seven had already gathered.

Accompanied by the first sharp and loud horn, led by three heavy motorcycles on the starting line, all the motorcycles shot out at the same time like arrows released from a bow

I have always been very serious about what I say to you

The world around is chaotic and noisy, and it is impossible to predict what kind of night this will be. However, I know that Ye Mubei is right beside me; he is the only person here who makes me feel secure. I strive to hold tightly to his arm, and the warmth emanating from him brings me a sense of reassurance amidst the confusion.

Is there a paradise? Are there angels there

Do you know? This is the place closest to heaven, and only by experiencing it personally can one truly feel that sense of unrestrained joy. Ye Mubei slightly curved his lips and put the helmet on me, saying, "Those women who only crowd in front of the television to watch soap operas, and the effeminate weaklings in the academy, do you really expect them to understand this kind of pleasure?" As he spoke, he reached out to tuck the hair beside my cheek behind my ear, his palm radiating warmth, calm and powerful.

Without waiting for the other party to respond, Ye Mubei suddenly turned the handle and accelerated, causing the car to speed up even more, leaving the taxi and the off-road motorcycle behind. I screamed and turned back to see that the boy was extending his middle finger at us, desperately trying to catch up.

We are merely organizing a casual competitive event to foster relationships and hone our skills. Ye Mubei said this as if he were just discussing tomorrow's dinner—"We are just having a meal together"

It was probably some kind of illusion, but I suddenly felt that the scent on him smelled just like honey freshly extracted from a honeycomb.

The red motorcycle maintained a lead ahead, creating a distance of over ten meters between us, making it seem that catching up would not be a quick task. Ye Mubei twisted his right hand inward and closely pursued, rapidly shortening the distance to the white BMW ahead. Before long, the two motorcycles were riding side by side, so close that there was only about a meter between them, almost touching!

Ye Mubei glanced at the watch on his wrist: "In ten minutes, with the first horn of the harbor as a signal, the competition will begin. At that time, all you need to do is hold me tightly, and you need not think of anything else"

What does it matter?

However, my mind went completely blank

A different atmosphere permeates the air, and a sense of oppression surrounds me from all directions

Ye Mubei's car speed had accelerated to over 200 in a matter of moments, and I could hardly keep my eyes open as the violent wind battered me, causing a splitting headache. I struggled to avoid recalling that spine-chilling scene, yet I could not help but tremble all over.

It is too terrifying! This is too crazy! However, it is now too late to regret!

And here I am, as if I have entered the wrong room, dressed in formal attire yet stumbling into a masquerade ball, tense and bewildered, unsure of what to do.

The wind blowing towards me slapped against my cheeks, making it almost impossible for me to breathe. I could no longer hold back and shouted, "Oh my God, so fast!"

The night is already deep, yet the tunnel remains brightly lit. Everything is shrouded in an orange glow. The roar of the engine is amplified several times by the unique structure of the tunnel, resonating against my eardrums

"Why do we have to race cars on this mountain?" I whispered, leaning on his back.

There is a feeling of being caught after doing something wrong, and I truly wish to disappear from here. I can even imagine how harsh the sarcasm is hidden behind this smile

Ah? I... but... just the thought of having to sit on a speeding motorcycle and experience the thrill of life and death makes my legs go weak

Faced with Ye Mubei's unceremonious mockery, a hint of embarrassment flashed across Xiaoyu's face. She took a deep breath, looked at me, her eyes glinting with indifference and mockery: "Xing An, are you sure you want to follow this guy to participate in the street racing competition? Don't you fear that he might throw you off the mountain halfway through the race?"

At this moment, most of the motorcycles had already been left far behind. After driving in a straight line for a while, Ye Mubei's speed became increasingly faster. In the midst of a heartbeat that felt almost out of control, I couldn't help but look back, only to find that there were only a few scattered vehicles still following him, while the others had vanished without a trace

The deafening sound pierced through the deep purple night sky, accompanied by Ye Mubei's joyful laughter. However, I, sitting in the back seat, was already streaked with tears. The wind blowing towards me felt like countless tiny needles, pricking my dry eyes painfully, and tears flowed continuously, yet I had no way to reach out and wipe them away. The tears streamed down my cheeks, quickly dried by the wind, only to fill my eyes again the next moment, rendering my vision a blur

I certainly won't! I rolled my eyes and replied softly.

Ye Mubei parked his car in the center of the crowd, and his arrival caused a stir among the people. A group of unfamiliar young individuals gathered around, wearing strange smiles, their hair dyed in exaggerated colors reflecting a dim light

The red motorcycle first entered the curve, then leaned astonishingly close to the ground. A spark flew by as the rider's knee, protected by a metal knee pad, scraped against the surface, creating a shower of sparks! A brilliant arc was visible as both motorcycles successfully navigated the turn; however, after the flash of fire, Ye Mubei's Harley suddenly skidded out violently, roaring ahead to the front.

The Harley smoothly navigated the curve, leaving the BMW behind

It is conceivable that at this speed, colliding with any object on this road would result in it being propelled away at the speed of light in an instant

Ye Mubei wiped his nose, reached out to embrace my shoulder, leaned close to my ear, and said to Lin Xiaoyu: "As long as Xing An can firmly hold me from behind, then I will definitely not lose, because—she is my goddess of victory!"

Only ten seconds remain until the appointed time, and everyone is holding their breath, waiting for the sound from the harbor.

You see, she is as frightened as a newlywed bride; when she encounters a grand scene, will she still be able to stand her ground?

The roar of engines persisted, with the Harley closely following two motorcycles, one white and one red. Ye Mubei did not seem in a hurry to catch up with them; he merely held on steadily without haste. At this moment, the needle had already pointed to one hundred and continued to move downward without pause.

I have not yet had the chance to familiarize myself with all of this; just moments ago, the vehicles that were on the same crosswalk were suddenly left behind, disappearing in an instant. On the entire highway, the only one that could keep pace with the Harley was that off-road motorcycle!

In my moment of indecision, I heard Lin Xiaoyu's almost screaming curse by my ear: "Ye Mubei! Go die! I won't care about you anymore!"

The water truck sang "What a Beautiful Jasmine Flower" as it slowly drove ahead. It was the peak hour for getting off work, yet there were not many vehicles on the coastal road, and Ye Mubei's motorcycle weaved through the few cars.

As I turned a corner, the speed of the vehicle slowed down. In the distance, I saw a dense crowd gathered ahead, the deep rumble of heavy motorcycles intertwining into a single sound. I could not tell exactly how many vehicles there were, as other motorcycles continuously whizzed past us like arrows, their deafening noise echoing throughout the entire forest.

In the blink of an eye, everything vanished; exams, studying abroad, all became tiny stars on the horizon. The suspicious glances and the cold mockery were left far behind in the distant past. The entire world seemed to consist only of him and me

Now we are accelerating! Hold on tight!

"Xiaoyu, you do not understand your sister, just as you do not understand me." Ye Mubei smiled faintly, then got back on the motorcycle and continued to say to her, "You wouldn't have bet on the other party's vehicle and then deliberately come here to disrupt the morale, would you?"

Great bend! Attention!

I opened my eyes and saw the sea of clouds at the horizon, the rolling red waves connecting with the golden surface of the sea, resembling an ancient painting

I turned my face to look at the swaying figures, my gaze lingering on the silhouette of a girl. She had a pair of slender, elongated legs reminiscent of a fawn, and her denim shorts were exceedingly short, barely able to cover her hips completely. The peach-colored camisole she wore on her upper body had a particularly cool design at the back, held together by just a few thin fabric strings, revealing a large expanse of alluring skin that appeared exceptionally fair in the night.

The faces that pass by are all marked by an excitement that cannot be concealed, and then they effortlessly blend into the enchanting night.

I do not know whether he sensed my body language or heard my voice, but he let out a soft laugh

I must admit that at this moment, all my words are as pale as a wall in the university cafeteria

Lin Xiaoyu's expression suddenly turned unpleasant

"Xing An, are you afraid?" Ye Mu Bei smiled and turned to ask me

I believe Ye Mubei is just that kind of person

Two completely unfamiliar drivers, just because of a glance, started racing like this

I couldn't help but grip the hem of Ye Mubei's clothing. I had a strange illusion, as if I would be inadvertently drawn into this black vortex.
