Lu Jinglin hung up the phone and casually put it aside.
After a while, the phone rang again, this time with a message notification sound.
Lu Jinglin opened it to take a look; it was a group message from several of them.
[Chu An]: [Shared video]
[Lin Qiuzhi]: Damn, I was just regretting not recording a video. That guy’s skills were seriously awesome, which made me watch too intently. Good thing you recorded it. Love you.jpg
[Chu An]: Damn it, why do you, a grown man, have so many weird meme stickers?
[Lin Qiuzhi]: You don’t understand. This is cute, alright! Love you.jpg, Love you.jpg, Love you.jpg, Love you.jpg
[Chu An]: Get lost, get lost, how disgusting.
[Yao Ziyue]: Eye roll.jpg
[Yao Ziyue]: @Lu Jinglin, you can take a look at that video. I think that person’s skills are on par with yours.
Lu Jinglin raised an eyebrow and tapped on the video above.
In the video, a young man wearing a helmet rode a motorcycle quickly past a curve, the bike sliding out in a perfect arc amidst the surrounding wild cheers and screams.
Although the young man’s expression could not be seen, Lu Jinglin felt an overwhelming sense of madness and wildness.
The young man had not changed into a racing suit, but was instead wearing casual clothes: a pure black sports jacket on top and a pair of light blue jeans on the bottom that loosely wrapped around his slender legs. The strong wind rushing past blew his jacket hem fluttering backward.
Lu Jinglin was all too familiar with this outfit; it was precisely what Xia Yuning had been wearing when he went out this morning.
Lu Jinglin frowned, having already confirmed that the young man in the video was indeed Xia Yuning.
However, how could Xia Yuning ride a motorcycle?
On the phone, the video was nearing its end, the final image freezing on the young man’s lean back. Lu Jinglin typed.
Lu Jinglin: Where are you guys right now? Send me the address, hurry up.
[Lin Qiuzhi]: ? What are you doing? Cat confused.jpg
[Chu An]: Is Brother Lu coming?
[Yao Ziyue]: Nanshanping Racing Circuit, newly opened recently, located in the suburbs. What, are you coming?
[Lin Qiuzhi]: Sigh, alright, alright, we will wait for you, Brother Lu. Obediently waiting.jpg
[Chu An]: Little Lin, take it from me, stop sending these weird-ass memes, okay?
Lu Jinglin put away his phone, stood up, and strode outside.
On the other side, turning back the time to an hour ago.
Xia Yuning and Qiu Se left the school and hailed a taxi by the roadside.
After getting into the car, Qiu Se made a phone call.
“Mm, yes. I will go pick up the car today. Good.”
Qiu Se hung up the phone, glanced at Xia Yuning beside him, and explained to him.
“Let us get my car back first. I took it in for maintenance the other day.”
“Alright.”
Xia Yuning had no objections.
He took a milk candy out of his pocket and handed it to Qiu Se.
“Do you want one?”
Qiu Se did not like eating candy, so he shook his head and refused, “No thanks.”
Xia Yuning took the candy back, peeled off the wrapper, and ate it himself. “I might have to ride your car later.”
Qiu Se: “What about yours?”
In this world, Xia Yuning naturally had no car, but of course he couldn’t just say that.
“It just broke recently, planning to buy a new one.” In truth, buying a car was real; he loved the extreme sport of street racing and adored that feeling of ultimate madness, so sooner or later he would buy one anyway.
This was the best way to vent his emotions. Generally, after riding for a few hours, he would be too exhausted to think about anything else.
By expending physical strength through shedding sweat, waiting until sweat soaked his clothes and his physical energy neared zero, he would have no time to dwell on the massive debts he carried on his back.
Thus, he would be able to sleep soundly and comfortably.
