CHAPTERS
Ying Ming and Shi Yi were still casually chatting, watching TV while glancing at the sky. The two of them had different tastes in shows, so whenever they disagreed, they would just take jabs at each other. When the rain started falling, Shi Yi even took the chance to boast about how foresighted he was. But after more than two hours of nonstop rain, they couldn’t help but glance at each other. “This rain is seriously messed up…” At first, it seemed like just a passing shower, something that…- 283.2 K • Completed
- Ying Ming was woken up by Kou Jing’s call. The combination of vibration and ringtone was especially jarring inside the car. He struggled for a long while before finally opening his eyes, groggily scanning his surroundings. It took him another moment to fish out his phone. "Hello.” His voice was thick with drowsiness. “Mingzi! Where the hell did you two go?” “Took the car out for a drive. The competition’s still on, isn’t it?” He scratched his head, trying to sit up. The…

- Driving at night was a dull task. Even in the daytime, long-distance trips could make a person zone out, let alone at night when everything beyond the headlights was pitch black. Shi Yi had the high beams on, illuminating nothing but rocky slopes and dirt roads. After a while, Ying Ming turned on the car’s audio system, and a blast of heavy metal music erupted from the speakers. Both of them jumped. Ying Ming quickly switched it off and ejected the CD. It was an album from a band. "You listen…

- Weisai handled the discussions separately with Ying Ming and Shi Yi. Kou Jing was also present. When Ying Ming met the lawyer, Kou Jing was right beside him. Seeing him push the door open, he stood up to greet him. "Mingzi, how are you? You're really okay?" The latter shook his head. "I'm fine." Only then did Kou Jing sit back down. Before doing so, he introduced the two people next to him. "Mingzi, this is Chen Fengli, a board member of Weisai. And over there is our legal consultant, Zhao…

- After finishing their meal, Shi Yi said he wanted to take a nap. They had originally planned to leave after two in the afternoon. But before he could even fall asleep, he got a call from Kou Jing. Kou Jing told him that someone from Weisai would be coming in the afternoon and asked him and Ying Ming to wait a little longer before setting off. As soon as the call ended, Ying Ming’s phone rang. “Did Kou Jing tell you too?” “Yeah.” “Perfect, then get some more sleep.” It was…

- It wasn’t until much later that Shi Yi finally figured out why Ying Ming had looked so familiar. Turns out, he was a celebrity. Considering that face of his was his meal ticket, that made sense. Shi Yi tried to recall what roles Ying Ming had played but couldn’t come up with anything specific. It wasn't a huge surprise. He never really had much interest in movies to begin with. Watching movies had always felt like something to pass the time back in his student days. After leaving those…

- The CEO returned faster than Shi Yi and Ying Ming had expected. The previous call had already alerted the rest stop, and they had sent out a vehicle. It happened to cross paths with the CEO on his way back, so he led them straight over. Ying Ming and Shi Yi stepped aside to give the paramedics room to work. Dong Xiao was covered in blood, the sight of it almost too much to take. Shi Yi could not look anymore and took a few steps away. Ying Ming glanced at him. "What’s wrong?" "How the hell…

- After dinner, Shi Yi asked Ying Ming if he dared to drive at night. The other answered bluntly, “I’m not looking to die.” Shi Yi laughed. “I thought you were going all in.” “Being serious and looking to die are two different things.” Throwing his own words back at him, Ying Ming shrugged and grabbed the room key from the front desk. Shi Yi's room was right next to his. The temporary lodging at the rest stop was nothing like a hotel, just barely livable. The walls were thin, and if they…

- After finishing their water and grabbing a quick bite, they got back on the road. According to Shi Yi’s analysis, the next stretch would take even longer than the one they had just covered, and they might not make it to the rest stop in time for dinner. "It may be an amateur race, but the schedule is set up like a professional one. WeiSai sure knows how to put on a show." Ke Jing had managed to drag Shi Yi into this event partly because he happened to be free and partly because his company was…

- Since Kou Jing had promised to take care of everything, there was nothing for Ying Ming to worry about. It wasn’t until the night before the event kickoff that Kou Jing finally called him, telling him to attend the launch press conference the next day. The rest would be explained later. Ying Ming had a habit of arriving an hour and a half early to events unless he had something urgent that couldn’t be rescheduled. Logically, he should have been one of the earliest to arrive. But when he…
