The hand on Qiao Xi's knee trembled slightly. Seeing it, Shen Yeyan suddenly raised his hand and held it lightly.
The man's warm palm almost completely wrapped around her little hand. She subconsciously wanted to struggle, but Shen Yeyan did not let go. Just as she was about to speak, he suddenly turned his face away and released her.
He suppressed his emotions and got out of the car.
Gu Yunfan extinguished his cigarette and walked up to him, wanting to give him a warm hug. He dodged to the side due to Shen Yeyan's disdain. He smiled shamelessly, but didn't mind. His gaze landed on Qiao Xi, who was still sitting in the car.
"Sister, why aren't you getting out of the car?"
Shen Ye An didn't bother to reply. He fiddled with the car keys as he looked at the people he brought. His gaze swept past the few sports cars parked by the roadside.
Qiao Xi calmed herself down in the car. The temperature in the mountain was low. Waves of refreshing wind blew past. She took a few steps forward and looked at the men and women cheering in the distance.
His gaze fell on Gu Yunfan who was walking over in astonishment. "You're not out on a business trip?"
Gu Yunfan's mind raced as he pressed the cap on his head. "We just returned from the plane this morning, it's been a while since we last saw Miss Qiao."
Qiao Xi thought of the university he went to. One cannot judge a book by its cover.
"Long time no see, Mr. Gu."
He rubbed his chin in bewilderment. Shen Yeyan, who had originally rejected him, had suddenly agreed to come today along with Qiao Xi. He was baffled.
Qiao Xi walked over. Compared to the others, Shen Yeyan's attire was very low key. He was dressed in ordinary sports attire. He didn't wear any strange clothing, or he would have a few more ear holes and a few more tattoos.
Shen Ye An was standing in the middle of a group of men. Suddenly, he felt like he was in a clear stream and was able to see him at first glance.
He put it in his mouth, lowered his head slightly, and half closed his eyes. He inhaled deeply with a pair of eyes, then slowly exhaled a whole smoke ring, then turned his head to the side and chatted with the people beside him. Qiao Xi rarely saw him smoking, so he couldn't help but take a few extra glances.
He felt as if he was being pulled into a strange circle.
Gu Yunfan walked to Shen Yeyan's side and naturally put his arms around his shoulders. "Bring the little sister to the car later?"
"Yes, is there a problem?"
"No, I'm just afraid that if you lose, you'll lose face in front of this girl."
Shen Yeyan sneered and put on his earphones, "You're overthinking it."
"That's good. If I knew earlier, I would have brought my sister with me."
"There are a lot of girls here, pick any one of them."
The smile on Gu Yunfan's face went cold. He looked like he wasn't picky with food? However, when he suddenly thought of that hot-tempered Chili Pepper, he couldn't help but grit his teeth.
The car was about to start. After the staff inspection was over, Shen Yeyan extinguished his cigarette and walked to Qiao Xi's side. His handsome face had a faint smile and his eyes were full of smiles. When he saw her pouting at him, he couldn't help but want to kiss her.
"It's about to begin."
Qiao Xi didn't want to experience the feeling of speeding again, so his body abruptly shrank back. "I'll wait for you here. Go ahead, be careful."
Shen Ye An could see her unwillingness. He suddenly approached her, his face only a few centimeters away from her. He pressed half of her body against the car's body. His ambiguous posture caused her to widen her eyes.
"Shen Ye An, you …"
"There are two paths. You can get on the car yourself, or I can carry you on the car. You can choose."
Qiao Xi was displeased that he had suddenly become so domineering. He raised his hand and pushed him away, not even willing to accept his threats.
"I won't get in the car."
Shen Yeyan was pushed back a few steps and no longer moved closer to her. Without the man's warm body, her hot cheeks slowly calmed down. She raised her foot to leave, but was abruptly stopped by him.
With one hand, Shen Yeyan opened the car door while the other pulled her. Qiao Xi was struggling not to open the door. He was even faintly regretting that he had cured his fear of women.
"Get in the car. Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Qiao Xi was still making her final struggles when Shen Yeyan suddenly stuck a headset in her ear. She was stunned for a moment before he pushed her into the car and quickly closed the door.
Outside the car, Shen Yeyan's eyes were deep and serene. He held the door and took a few deep breaths before he managed to calm his agitated mood.
He slowly got into the car. Gu Yunfan, who was sitting in the car beside him, saw everything clearly. He specifically asked, "Old Shen, are you alright?"
"OK, you can begin."
Qiao Xi was also wearing earphones as she listened to their conversation. She turned her head, causing Shen Yeyan's pale face to slowly turn better. The smart her immediately understood the reason. Shen Ye An was forcefully contacting her, but why did he do that?
Her mind was filled with the same answer that was about to come out of her mouth. She was so scared that she didn't dare to continue thinking about it.
After Shen Ye An recovered, he prepared. Qiao Xi sat quietly, not daring to get close to him.
The sound in front began and the car quickly flew out. She resisted the urge to scream and nervously stuck close to the door.
This time, it was a true car race. Shen Yeyan's car was ranked second, followed closely by several other cars in the rearview mirror. Many times, he tried to overtake them, but was stopped by Shen Yeyan.
In front of him was Gu Yunfan's black sports car, which was far ahead of him. Shen Yeyan's car was right behind him.
Gu Yunfan's boastful tone came from the headphones. "Old Gu, did you lose control today?"
Shen Yeyan sneered, "Take care of your own position."
"I'll be waiting for you."
Qiao Xi heard Gu Yunfan purposely provoke him and was afraid that he would become impatient.
"No rush, we still have a chance."
"Un, aren't you afraid now?"
Qiao Xi was honest. "Now that our lives and deaths are at stake, I'm afraid it's useless."
"Don't worry, I won't take you to see God."
She didn't dare to look at the scenery outside the window as it flew past. She had always been staring at Gu Yunfan's car in front of her. When she first turned the corner, Shen Yeyan had almost floated behind his car, but she was still unable to get past it. The car that was originally following her was now a bit farther away from her.
"The distance behind us has been increased."
"Yes, did you ride a roller coaster?"
"Why do you ask?"
"No roller coaster horror."
Qiao Xi wanted to retort that the accident rate of the roller coaster was low, but who knew what would happen in the next second? Below them was a steep mountain.
"Shen Yeyan, safety first."
"What if I get first?"
Shen Ye An suddenly turned his head to look at her and quickly returned. Qiao Xi did not dare to distract him.
"You're awesome for taking first place, so I congratulate you."
"Don't need your congratulations. Give me something."
"What?"
"You'll know once you get first place."
Gu Yunfan sped up once again in front of him, while Shen Yeyan sped up with him. The wheels rubbed violently against the ground, making her nervous yet excited. She sat in the car, her heart thumping non-stop as she clenched her fists tightly.
