Chapter 8, it is because of youth that one dares to be so reckless

While stealing a glance at Xu Zhuo's profile in the crowd, my thoughts strangely wandered to a question that should not have arisen in that moment. I wondered, if time could turn back to the past, would I once again fall deeply in love with him, and would we be in a romantic relationship? In the next second after the question was posed to myself, the overwhelming affirmative answer made me laugh uncontrollably in an instant

Having finished speaking, without even a phone call, he stormed towards the railing, vaulted over it, and positioned himself in front of the vehicle.

On the first lap, he was actually memorizing the route

Before there was even time to react, a loud whistle was already heard, and the two individuals in the distance had dashed out like arrows released from a bow

Yet the speed of that person's vehicle did not pause for me even for a moment; it only drew closer, showing no intention of stopping whatsoever

The race consists of a total of 3 laps, with very simple rules: whoever reaches the finish line first wins. During the first lap, Xu Zhuo had a slight advantage, with that wealthy young man trailing by about 30 centimeters. My heart suddenly felt a bit lighter; fortunately, that person was merely putting on a show, fully equipped but lacking in technical skill, so Xu Zhuo had a great chance of winning

I suddenly began to panic, thinking that he would stop, after all, human life is of utmost importance. He lost, yet it would not affect him in any way. However, I often overestimate myself, for in the eyes of the other, my life is nothing more than a trivial matter.

At that time, the journey had already reached the beginning of the third lap. Pei Mingzhu happened to call and ask where I was. I did not want her to be distracted from her studies by these trivial matters, so I refused to give her a clear answer, merely stating that it was the same place, and I was not sure of the specific location. After I spoke, Mingzhu remained silent for quite a while, and I thought the call had been disconnected. When I took the phone away from my ear, I realized the call was still ongoing, so I tentatively said "hello" again. A loud roar akin to that of a lion from the east pierced my eardrum, leaving me dizzy.

Upon realizing the true severity of the situation, there was indeed a sense of regret deep within me, yet my mind and body seemed to be controlled by some force, rendering me unable to move

In fact, I am even more saddened; perhaps I will not have the chance to personally tell them, "I love you"

Of course, what I said may seem to deliberately embellish him, but in my heart, he is like the tattooed lover in each of your hearts, forever surpassing Xi Shi or being as handsome as Pan An

Mingzhu, in fact, I am also very willing to share life and death with you, to advance and retreat together

Xu Zhuo still wore his usual shirt, having styled his hair, the ends of which were much shorter than before, yet appeared neat. What I have always taken pride in is that although Xu Zhuo's character and family background are far from ideal, he has always been different from certain boys who mingle in non-mainstream circles. His clothes and jeans are always of simple styles, and they are clean and radiate a hint of white. When you get closer, you can even smell the familiar scent of soap.

The vehicle drew closer, its headlights shining on my eyelids, blinding me to the point where I could not open my eyes. I heard voices around me calling for help, and someone was cursing, telling me to get out of the way, but my ears chose to be selectively deaf. I could hear nothing, feel nothing, not even the fear of death.

Subsequently, amidst the emotional turmoil of everyone, I alone withdrew from the center of the crowd to a vacant area beside the Eighteenth Ladder

At that moment, I suddenly thought of my mother, her face always as exaggerated and dramatic as mine. I recalled my father, wearing glasses and looking refined while reading the newspaper. I even remembered those exquisite magazines of Pei Mingzhu. I was thinking, if I were to die inexplicably like this, her luxurious gifts would go unpresented, and no one would cause her to lose money. How heartbroken she must be.

The entire venue was almost filled with supporters of Young Master Lu, so when he made a beautiful overtaking maneuver at that turn, the crowd finally began to erupt in excitement. Upon witnessing this, my initial tension strangely dissipated, and I even felt my heart participating in a ceremony of settling dust.

However, I have always been overly naive in my thoughts

At that time, Xu Zhuo tested the motorcycle's exhaust and examined various performance aspects before finally swinging his leg over it to begin the warm-up. As he turned to the side, I finally caught sight of the other protagonist of that day, the legendary Young Master Lu Er. However, the other party had already donned a helmet, standing calmly and composed in front of the silver-gray racing motorcycle, listening intently to a young man speaking beside him. Therefore, I was unable to see his face and could only vaguely determine his height and build.

In my youth, I believed that was the power of love

Although I do not understand how to judge whether that person's skills are good or bad, a discerning eye can tell the strength from those signs. It was the first time I felt that Xu Zhuo would lose. When it comes to showing off strength and fighting, Xu Zhuo is undoubtedly skilled, but when all that ferocity has become useless, I am filled with fear. I am not afraid that such an outcome will hurt that boy's self-esteem; I am simply afraid that if he cannot save Xu Pei, then he probably will not be able to smile again for the rest of his days.

Because Xu Zhuo's position is near the cliff, and outside is the young master of the Lu family, I cannot discern whether Xu Zhuo's brows are furrowed or relaxed. I only notice his posture, slightly bent at the waist, his gaze fixed on the long and distant horizon, engaged in a contest with the other party, fierce and determined, as if striving to break free from his own fate. Everything is inconsequential, as long as he can escape the dark world

Perhaps it was the darkness of the night, and Xu Zhuo's overwhelming desire to win, that he failed to notice that the person blocking his path ahead was me

Another eye-catching aspect is his professional racing suit, which is entirely in bright red. A line of white runs between the waist and the cuffs, while various logos that I cannot identify adorn the front. The silver watch on his wrist glimmers subtly under the glow of the flames

There, the weeds grew thickly, almost half a person high, yet it was the best vantage point to observe the fire from across the bank, not easily noticed by others. I had just crouched down, simply clearing the grass beneath my feet, and I dared not take my eyes off the direction of the scene for even a moment

My reason was utterly shattered by Mingzhu's words, I overlooked the fact that she dared to call me a little wretch, I forgot that I was supposed to engage in a fierce battle with her, and I even forgot to respond to her in a very artistic manner

However, I ultimately could not say this sentence. Because, when Xu Zhuo was clearly at a disadvantage, trailing behind that person, when the red figure in my line of sight drew closer and closer, and when he was nearing the white line wwwhetushu .com .com, I could only shout a sentence at the person on the phone with the same volume as hers, straining my voice.

Xia Ping'an, you little wretch! Haven't you always said that my name is to accompany you to death? Do you even know what it means to accompany you to death? To accompany you to death means that on the day of the apocalypse, no matter who has a single loaf of bread left, they will share half with the other! Whoever has a sip of water must spit half into the other person's mouth! Even if I could avoid dehydration by drinking that entire sip of water! Even if I could survive by eating that whole loaf of bread! Whoever has a sip of water must spit half into the other person's mouth! Even if I could avoid dehydration by drinking that entire sip of water! Even if I could survive by eating that whole loaf of bread!

Later, I thought perhaps it was indeed youth that made one so reckless

Remember to help me take Xu Zhuo to become a monk

It was quite evident that Bei Guang felt a sense of horror from my inexplicably strange smile, to the point that he even forgot to speak. As the match was about to begin, he decided not to entangle himself with me any longer over whether to persuade me or not, and in a fit of anger, he charged forward. The outcome, of course, was beyond doubt; he was pulled away by those subservient lackeys behind Xu Zhuo, who had no opinions of their own.

At the beginning of the second lap, it was evident that the opponent had started to accelerate. I was puzzled, thinking how strange this person was; in competitions, one usually aims to gain the upper hand right from the start, yet he seemed to be relying on a late surge! It wasn't until I saw him skillfully navigate a sharp turn without any sign of slowing down or skidding that I finally realized.
