Donglin No. 1 High School's little tyrant, Ji Maile, had a bad temper, was weak in fights, always challenged, and always lost. For an entire semester in his first year, Ji Maile was at odds wit...
Chapter 35 Chapter 35 begins soon.
In a blink of an eye, four days of the seven-day holiday had passed, and Chen Lu had not come to see Ji Maili once.
Ji Maili's standard for being angry was that he didn't take the initiative to call Chen Lu, but he kept sending him messages. However, Chen Lu, this bastard, was very slow to reply to messages. Every time he was asked what he was doing, he said he was busy.
Ji Maili looked at the two words "something" that Chen Lu replied, and angrily jumped up and stood on the bed and yelled: "You have things at school, and you have things outside of school too. Why do you have so many things to do! You are so busy!"
Liang Lin heard the noise and came over. The door was not closed tightly. She pushed it open and saw Ji Maili standing on the bed, looking like he was ready to fight with the air. "Who are you yelling at again?"
Ji Maili was so angry that he gasped: "No one."
Liang Lin said to him: "If you have too much free time, go out and have some fun. You've been stuck at home for several days."
Ji Huan said in the living room, "Let him stay home. He finally has some peace and quiet for a while. If he goes out, who knows what trouble he might get into again."
Liang Lin said to Ji Huan: "Don't say that about your brother. He has been much better behaved since he got along with Chen Lu."
Ji Huan: "You can't tell from his epileptic seizure that they're breaking up again."
Liang Lin looked at Ji Maili in surprise: "Break up again?"
Ji Maili jumped off the bed and shouted towards the living room, "It's not a breakup, Ji Huan, stop spreading rumors!"
Ji Maili closed the door of the room, furious. He sat on the bed and browsed WeChat for a long time. There were only five people in total. Apart from his mother and sister, there were only Tao Dacheng and his sister.
Ji Maili looked at the dialog box of Tao Dacheng, whom he had never spoken to since adding him. He turned around, took out a piece of paper, and drew a simple picture of Tao Dacheng sitting on a motorcycle when they went out to play that day. He sent it to Tao Dacheng.
-Your Master Tao: Oh my god, this is so cool!
-Your Master Tao: Thank you, Master Ji, this is fucking terrible, I have to post this on WeChat Moments!
-Ji Ji Ji: You’re welcome, it’s just a casual drawing.
With the chat history, Ji Maili could ask him about Shen Lu. He exited and refreshed his circle of friends, and found that Tao Dacheng had really posted the painting.
Just as Ji Maili was about to go back, he saw Chen Lu clicked a like below.
Ji Maili: “???”
Ji Maili stared at the like, as if he wanted to pick it out through the screen!
What a bastard! Every time he tries to contact him, he takes a long time to reply, but when Tao Dacheng posts on WeChat Moments, he likes it so quickly!
Ji Maili sent a message to Chen Lu: What are you doing?
As expected, the message fell on deaf ears and it would probably take two hours for him to get a reply.
Ji Maili switched to Tao Dacheng's chat page.
-Ji Ji Ji: What is Chen Lu doing?
-Your Uncle Tao: He? He's doing his homework at home.
-Ji Ji Ji: Doing homework?
-Your Uncle Tao: Yes, do you want to come over and write with me? I’m here with him too.
Ji Maili almost crushed his phone when he heard what Tao Dacheng said.
-Ji Ji Ji: Has he been doing his homework these days?
After a long while, Tao Dacheng replied: He is a little busy.
Ji Maili is not a fool, he can tell that the last sentence was not replied by Tao Dacheng himself.
The next second, a red 1 appeared on Chen Lu's chat bar, and Ji Maili took a look.
-Chen Lu: Do your homework at home. Have you finished your homework?
Ji Maili: “….” Is doing homework the fucking priority now?
-Ji Ji Ji: Did I offend you?
-Shen Lu: No.
-Ji Ji Ji: So you have your period and are in a bad mood, so you take it out on me?
-Chen Lu: No.
-Ji Ji Ji: Then why are you acting crazy again? You have something to do every day. What's wrong with you? You like Tao Dacheng's WeChat Moments post right away, and every time I contact you, it takes you ages to reply. How have I ever made you unhappy?
Chen Lu made a voice call, but Ji Maili didn't answer, and Chen Lu didn't make a second call.
If you don’t want to fight, then don’t fight. Master Ji also has a temper. If you ignore me, I’m too lazy to pay attention to you!
After dinner in the evening, Ji Maili was strolling alone in the community when suddenly a motorcycle stopped beside him. "Master."
Ji Maili thought it was Chen Lu, but when he turned around, it was Tao Dacheng, "Why are you here?"
Tao Dacheng threw his helmet to him: "Get in the car, I'll take you out to play."
Ji Maili looked at the helmet that Chen Lu gave him and suddenly wanted to smash it, "I'm not going."
"Go ahead," Tao Dacheng stopped him when he saw him about to leave, "Don't you want to know what Chen Lu has been doing these days? Come with me and you'll find out."
Ji Maili was persuaded, but still said stubbornly: "What does it have to do with me!"
Tao Dacheng: "If you don't go, I'll leave. Don't regret it."
The irritable young master only lasted less than two seconds before he pressed the helmet on his head, mumbling something. He got on the car and said, "Can you drive well? Don't let me fall."
Tao Dacheng, whose cycling skills were questioned, asked unhappily, "Have you ever worried about this problem when you ride a Shenlu bike?"
Ji Maili answered honestly: "Of course not."
Shen Lu would never throw him down!
-
There is a winding track under the winding mountain road, and the roar and scream of motorcycles can be heard from a long distance away.
Although Ji Maili always liked to pick fights, this was the first time he had seen such a scene. He got out of Tao Dacheng's car and took off his helmet: "What are they doing?"
Tao Dacheng parked the car and said, "Motorcycle racing, rich people like to play this."
Ji Maili didn't know how rich the rich people Tao Dacheng was talking about were. Once upon a time, he had some money, but he never knew that there was such a competition in this place.
He followed Tao Dacheng down, and Tao Dacheng pointed: "Look who's the second one down there."
It was late at night, and even with the lights on, it wasn't particularly clear. If it weren't for the fact that the color of Shen Lu's car was so easy to recognize, he would never have believed that Shen Lu would appear in such a place, and mixed in with these people...
Shen Lu was wearing a leather jacket, with his overalls tucked into black Martin boots. He had one foot on the ground, and someone had smeared something on his head. His hair was all slicked back, revealing his forehead. He looked much sharper. The upward curve of his mouth when he was talking to the person next to him was not an expression Ji Maili was familiar with. Ji Maili felt unfamiliar, but it also refreshed his new understanding of Shen Lu.
Shen Lu had always been good-looking and beautiful in his eyes, but today he discovered that Shen Lu was so handsome, so handsome that it made him feel uneasy.
Ji Maili was about to walk downstairs when Tao Dacheng grabbed him.
Shen Lu didn't know that Ji Maili was brought here today. To avoid Shen Lu being distracted by seeing him, Tao Dacheng didn't dare take him to the front. "It's about to start. Just sit here and watch."
If Tao Dacheng dared to pull him like this at other times, Ji Maili would have swung his arm to hit him, but at this moment, he didn't care about that. He was dragged inside by Tao Dacheng, but his eyes were always on the people below: "What is he going to do?"
Tao Dacheng said: "Competition, you have no idea how popular he is here. Have you seen these people? Basically, they are all here for him. He is the wild king of this track."
What a wild king, that sounds so ugly!
Ji Maili frowned. "Is he a racing driver? But he's not wearing a racing suit."
Tao Dacheng was speechless. "Have you ever seen a serious competition held in the middle of the night?"
Ji Maili finally turned around and looked at him.
Tao Dacheng said, "This is a wild car, the kind you bet on, do you know?"
Ji Maili didn't quite understand, but if he understood correctly, this was not racing.
Tao Dacheng patted Ji Maili's arm, and as the people around him got excited, Tao Dacheng said, "It's about to start."
Shen Lu put on his helmet and twisted the handlebars, emitting a few provocative roars. The two cars next to him were not to be outdone, and the roars instantly filled the entire venue.
Ji Maili squeezed his hands nervously, "Is it safe?"
Tao Dacheng said: "The third bend is commonly known as the death bend. Many people have been crippled on that broken bend, but Shen Lu has never been in trouble. The only time he was tripped and rolled out with his car."
To Ji Maili, this was like Shen Lu being crippled, making him feel unhappy. He frowned and asked, "Was it last semester?"
Tao Dacheng glanced at him and said, "You know all this. It seems you paid a lot of attention to him last semester."
He knew too little about Chen Lu in the past two years, but he would still try to find out as much as possible about him at school. Last semester, Chen Lu took a week off, and when he returned to school, he had an injury on his hand. Although he wore school uniform all day and his arm was not visible, he noticed the injury on the back of Chen Lu's hand, which was definitely not as simple as a scratch on the back of his hand.
As soon as he finished speaking, several motorcycles rushed out one after another. As the silver-blue motorcycles drove out, the people on the motorcycles seemed to look over here.
Tao Dacheng thought he was dazzled and didn't take it seriously.
Because it was not a professional competition, there was no follow-up filming. The car disappeared from sight after turning the second corner. We had to wait until they came back to know who crossed the line first.
Tao Dacheng took this opportunity to explain to Ji Maili, "Before Shen Lu, Brother Fei was the wild king of this arena. We just met Brother Fei here. Guess who is faster, Shen Lu or Brother Fei?"
Ji Maili stared at the track, which had long since disappeared, with a serious expression, "I don't want to guess."
Tao Dacheng asked himself and answered, "Of course it's Shen Lu. You really don't trust your childhood friend at all."
Ji Maili didn't want to trust him with this kind of thing at all.
The car that disappeared didn't come back for a long time. Ji Maili clenched his fist and asked, "Why hasn't it come back yet?"
Tao Dacheng glanced at the time: "Don't worry, it will be quick."
After a while, the sound of cars came back from the other end. Ji Maili stared at the dim mountain road. The sound of cars was getting closer and closer. A blue motorcycle "whoosh" passed by, and he didn't even have time to see it clearly. With the cheers around him, the car disappeared from his sight again.
Ji Maili: "Why is he still running?"
"A race is three laps long. Don't worry." Tao Dacheng glanced at him and saw that his face was pale. Tao Dacheng was stunned for a moment: "Are you okay?"
Ji Maili pursed his lips and shook his head.
When they went out to play before, he thought Shen Lu was driving very fast, but now it seems that the speed that day was not even half of this speed!
