But reality did not grant her her wish.
“Ning Zheyuan, Ning Zheyuan… Your unprovoked malice has no reason to be borne by our Chaos Family. Since you don’t respect us and don’t think we are qualified to be your opponents, then… don’t blame me for using some means to force myself to stand in front of you.”
Xu Youwei let out a long sigh, then turned and walked down the mountain without looking back.
She already had a rough idea for a counterattack plan.
It all started with Xia Che...
He then targeted Yu Shiyue, who was beside him.
There should always be punishment for doing wrong, right?
They, the Chaos Family, have no interest in being a pushover who only takes beatings without fighting back.
Some debts are destined to be settled.
...
Xia Che's judgment was indeed correct.
Yu Shiyue is a very cheerful person in front of familiar people, but she is extremely socially awkward in front of strangers.
In front of unfamiliar people, Yu Shiyue didn't even dare to speak.
Xu Youwei's first impression of Yu Shiyue was mostly correct, because Yu Shiyue was indeed that kind of person.
With no one else around, only Xia Che, whom she knew best, Yu Shiyue was noticeably more relaxed than ever before.
Xia Che could easily see this.
"Ho... You just decisively rejected the date invitation from that beautiful, sweet-voiced genius girl? It might have been a romantic invitation! Xia Che, you really are someone who won't be swayed by beauty!"
Yu Shiyue circled around Xia Che, touching her chin with a gossipy, mischievous smile on her face.
"...You're being a bit too deliberate. Besides, it wasn't a date invitation; it was just a normal request for a driving lesson because I think my racing skills are good."
Xia Che was completely stunned.
Just a second ago, she was a socially anxious person who hid behind herself and didn't dare to speak to strangers. Now she's so cheerful?
"No matter what, she invited you first, okay? You're kidding, there are plenty of people who are good at racing, why doesn't Xu Youwei invite others? Besides, she's a great beauty, so pretty, you think you can just refuse like that?"
Yu Shiyue blinked, pausing to emphasize the words "so beautiful".
"Actually, Xu Youwei is good in every way, except for one thing. Do you know what it is?"
"Which point? Tell me quickly."
"She looks too much like you, so she's not exactly a beauty. I think that's one of her few flaws, which is a pity, but beauty can't hide flaws."
"Your mother!"
"Why are you in such a hurry? I was clearly talking about her."
"Your mother!"
Yu Shiyue was so angry she was about to burst.
What does it mean to say that Xu Youwei is good in every way, except that she looks too much like herself and therefore isn't considered a beauty?
That bastard!
"Who told you to keep praising her looks? You two look exactly alike. If you want to praise yourself, just do it directly. Why go through all this trouble?"
Xia Che pursed his lips, instantly seeing through Yu Shiyue's little scheme.
Yu Shiyue is indeed very beautiful; this is almost a consensus, and anyone with eyes can see it.
Is it really necessary to subtly hint at oneself like this?
Women's hearts are already hard to fathom, but if that woman is also an introverted socially anxious person, the difficulty in understanding her almost doubles.
"Those straight men are so annoying."
Yu Shiyue spat and pouted in dissatisfaction.
If you clearly guess what I'm thinking, what would happen if you praised me a little?
Will I die?
Yu Shiyue held back for a long time before swallowing those words.
After all, she's not the type of person who would casually say such things.
It would be more appropriate to replace her with Chu Yuying.
Now that Yu Shiyue's wish has been fulfilled, Xia Che has also learned about Yue-ge's secret in exchange.
The two of them had no reason to stay in Dayanshan any longer.
Furthermore, considering the uncertainty of whether the assassins have actually left, whether they will temporarily give up because they can't catch up, or whether they will continue searching for their location after crossing the finish line...
Regardless of the possibility, Xia Che felt it was better to play it safe.
The two reached an agreement and headed down the mountain.
Even if they don't have a car, turning back to the racetrack now would be more convenient, as they could at least get a ride.
But the thought barely crossed Xia Che's mind before he immediately dismissed it.
Too dangerous.
After all, nobody knows whether the assassin will return to the competition venue after failing to succeed.
At that time, it would be like a lamb entering a tiger's den.
"What are you doing?"
Yu Shiyue was quiet for a while, then noticed that Xia Che was looking down at his phone, typing away with both hands, and she didn't know what he was doing.
"Hmm... let's ask for outside help."
Xia Che scratched the back of his head, glanced at the assassin, then looked away, saying calmly, "I always feel we can't afford to be complacent. Just because the assassin didn't succeed doesn't mean they'll leave. Our safety is still not guaranteed..."
"Are you calling your bodyguard? That's right... You're the eldest young master of the Xia family, you definitely need a bodyguard by your side. Besides, the Xia family isn't in Jiang City now, and they have so many enemies, so they need a personal bodyguard even more. Come to think of it... I live with you every day, how come I've never seen him? Who is he? Has he been to our house?"
Yu Shiyue slapped her forehead, realizing the truth belatedly.
With Xia Che's status, he should definitely have bodyguards protecting him closely, right?
Otherwise, given how many enemies the Xia family had made in Jiang City in the past, would they really be so careless as to let their only son survive alone in Jiang City?
"I've seen it before."
Upon hearing this, Xia Che raised an eyebrow and gave a mysterious smile.
Yes...
This silly girl doesn't know Wen Chenlu's true identity yet.
If she knew that the gentle but expressionless neighbor who always called her "Sister Lulu" was actually the Blue Rose, one of the four roses, her expression would surely be quite interesting.
"Seen before? Who was it?"
Yu Shiyue blinked, like a dazed, chubby fish.
She really didn't know anything...
Xia Che smiled faintly and said calmly, "You'll find out later."
Next, no matter how much Yu Shiyue urged him, whether she used coquettishness or violence, she even resorted to turning into an octopus and clinging to Xia Che, pulling on his neck, but Xia Che remained unmoved.
He was determined to keep this secret and wait to see Yu Shiyue's astonished expression.
but……
Xia Che looked down at his phone, which displayed a message he had sent to Wen Chenlu, but he didn't reply for a long time.
It wasn't even marked as read.
His brows furrowed involuntarily.
"Didn't you check your phone? This is getting a bit complicated..."
They are still in the mountains, and the signal is intermittent and unstable.
