Chapter 27: The Protagonist's Pride, The Race Begins:
“...”
Ye Liuyun said nothing. He simply walked down from the stands calmly.
“Huh!”
The rich boys around him looked puzzled. Was he really accepting the challenge?
“Just watch, Liuyun will definitely win!”
You Yu didn't care about the details. After saying this, she quickly followed Ye Liuyun.
...
“Xiao Ming! Get out of the car!”
At this moment, Long Tian's mind was solely focused on how to beat Ye Liuyun. So, Tang Gulan was worried about Tang Ming's safety. However, Tang Ming, acting childishly, remained seated in the front passenger seat.
“Sis! The race is about to start. Let me watch it till the end!”
Due to his intellectual disability, Tang Ming had always been sheltered by the Tang family and never went out. But a child's nature always yearns for freedom. This was why Tang Ming admired Long Tian so much—he took him out to play.
“Don't worry!”
Long Tian knew Tang Gulan was concerned about Tang Ming. He waved his hand dismissively, and smiled confidently, “You've seen my driving skills, haven't you? Don't worry. After this race, we'll head back without any incident!”
“...”
Ultimately, Tang Gulan didn't say anything more. It wasn't because she trusted Long Tian but because she couldn't refuse Tang Ming's pleading eyes.
...
Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun also walked down from the stands. Instantly, many eyes turned toward him, curious about who Long Tian had challenged.
“Tch!”
Long Tian was a bit displeased. After all, these gazes should have been focused on him. But it didn't matter. Soon, everyone would know he was the best!
“You actually dared to come down!”
As Ye Liuyun approached, Long Tian's rage flared up. He had been beaten by Ye Liuyun several times already. Just seeing him made Long Tian want to punch him immediately.
“If I didn't come down, wouldn't it be awkward for you to perform a one-man show?”
Ye Liuyun smiled, noticing the fury in Long Tian's eyes. “The way you're looking at me, it's not like you want to race but to fight. Want to try?”
He spread his hands, indicating Long Tian could make a move if he wished.
“You!”
Long Tian was infuriated by such arrogance. Until now, only he had treated others with such disdain. No one had ever dared to treat him this way!
But...
“Hmph!”
With a light snort, Long Tian restrained himself. He knew he might not be able to beat Ye Liuyun in a fight. After being beaten twice, he had learned his lesson. However, today’s challenge wasn’t about fighting.
Thinking about this, Long Tian felt confident. “Even if you're good at fighting, so what? Today's race will prove I'm better!”
Tonight, Long Tian was brimming with confidence.
[Since you're so eager to get humiliated, don't blame me!]
“Whether I'm better or not, we'll find out soon.”
Ye Liuyun didn't care and turned to You Yu. “Give me the car keys!”
“Huh! Use my car?”
You Yu was a bit taken aback. It wasn't that she didn't want to give him the keys; it was just that her car was at most an entry-level supercar, far inferior to Long Tian's top-tier one.
“Hey handsome, why not use mine?”
At this moment, another rich kid with a top-tier supercar stepped forward. Long Tian was skilled but overly arrogant, and many wanted to see him lose.
“Thanks, but no need.”
Ye Liuyun smiled and continued looking at Yuyuan.
“Alright!”
In the end, You Yu didn't refuse. She handed the keys to Ye Liuyun and immediately got into the passenger seat. “No matter what, I'm riding with you!”
“...”
[This girl!]
[She's so cute!]
Ye Liuyun said nothing more and sat in the driver's seat.
“Pfft!”
Long Tian hadn't thought much at first, but when he saw the supercar Ye Liuyun was driving, he burst into laughter. “Using that car to race against my top-tier supercar? If you want to admit defeat, just say so!”
There was no way he could lose! Even the rich boys who wanted to see Long Tian fail shook their heads. Sometimes, the gap between supercars is too great to be bridged by driving skills alone.
“Is that so?”
Ye Liuyun laughed. “If I beat you with this car, wouldn't that make you complete trash?”
“...”
The mocking smile on Long Tian's face vanished instantly, replaced by a dark scowl. Even now, he dared to taunt him. Since he was seeking his own demise, he would oblige!
“Let's begin!”
He said and got into his own car. Soon, under everyone's gaze, the two supercars lined up on the track.
Ye Liuyun held the steering wheel calmly and the engine buzzed.
Long Tian did the same, but to show off, he revved his engine louder than Ye Liuyun's. Through the window, Ye Liuyun could see Long Tian's arrogant manners.
At this moment, You Yu leaned over from the passenger seat and playfully touched Ye Liuyun's face, then glanced smugly at Long Tian.
[Doing this will surely crush Long Tian's fragile ego!]
Ye Liuyun hadn't expected You Yu to do that, but it had a significant effect—Long Tian's face turned terrifyingly dark.
Long Tian's passenger seat was occupied by Tang Ming, who had intellectual disabilities. If it weren't for wanting to use him to get closer to Tang Gulan, Long Tian would have thrown him out already.
Adjusting his breathing continuously, he prepared himself.
“Start!”
As the race began, the two supercars roared off the line!
Everyone could see the action on the big screen.
“Wow! So fast!”
“That Ye Liuyun guy isn’t falling behind at all!”
“Amazing!”
