Chapter 657: Winning the Compet.i.tion

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

The impa.s.sioned music sounded in the arena, directly mobilizing the emotions of the audience.

Every driver’s car was also ready.

Murong Qiao sat at the front. One could see at a glance that there was a fiery red car parked at No. 10.

The red color was as dazzling as flames. Even if it stayed there quietly, it couldn’t help but guide the owner of the gaze to notice its existence.

This color reminded Murong Qiao of when she met Tang Huai.

“The compet.i.tion officially begins!”

As the signal sounded, almost in an instant, racing cars rushed out one after another.

The rules of the compet.i.tion were that the first place in the finals would win this championship.

Murong Qiao didn’t understand the crux of racing, but she could tell that at the beginning, the fiery red color was at a disadvantage.

In just the first round, the dazzling fiery red color was sandwiched in the middle by the other cars. It couldn’t advance or retreat. Just looking at it made one frown.

“Don’t frown.” Huo Yichen reached out and pressed her forehead. “You’ll get wrinkles.”

With that, Huo Yichen took out a piece of candy from his pocket, peeled off the candy wrapper, and stuffed it into Murong Qiao’s mouth.

Murong Qiao took the opportunity to open her mouth and suck on it. “Wu.”

She didn’t realize it. She just wanted to lick the candy to taste it, but it inadvertently made Huo Yichen’s eyes darken.

It was a lemon candy. It was sour and sweet in her mouth, and the moment she ate it, it tasted like summer.

“Why didn’t I notice you carrying this usually?” Murong Qiao asked casually.

Huo Yichen replied seriously, “Eating sweet things might make you feel better.”

At first, he didn’t understand this. Occasionally, he saw Ye Zhen take out a doc.u.ment and it fell out of his pocket, so he learned it too.

Perhaps he didn’t know how to make people happy, but as long as it was Murong Qiao, that learning and patience would always exist.

The hard candy melted in his mouth bit by bit. After melting the sour first taste on the tip of her tongue, there was only a sweet coolness left, making Murong Qiao narrow her eyes.

She stared at the progress of the compet.i.tion, but she couldn’t help but think of the dream she had on the plane when she returned.

The dream was like a reminder that she couldn’t help but come here.

However, the current Tang Huai had yet to partic.i.p.ate in the Rapid Mountain Race, nor had he… fallen off the cliff.

Thinking of the outcome in the dream, Murong Qiao couldn’t help but lower her eyes and frown. Then, she looked at the fiery red color on the track.

In just three minutes, he escaped the predicament just now and gradually surpa.s.sed the others before arriving in front.

Currently, Tang Huai was ranked fifth. The fourth place was tightly suppressed and was not ahead of Tang Huai.

“…Ah Chen,” Murong Qiao suddenly said. “Accompany me to the hospital later. After the compet.i.tion ends.”

An idea suddenly appeared in her mind.

If Tang Huai really won the championship in this compet.i.tion in the end, what happened in the dream might happen naturally.

When that time came…

The moment the fiery red rushed out of the cliff section, it came to a bend in front of him, allowing him to surpa.s.s the ranking.

“Why are you suddenly thinking of going to the hospital? Is there something wrong with your body?” Huo Yichen frowned.

After Murong Qiao said that, Huo Yichen’s attention was no longer on the compet.i.tion. Instead, he sized up Murong Qiao several times.

“I’m fine.” Murong Qiao didn’t say anything for the time being.

Seeing that she was fine, Huo Yichen didn’t ask further. He turned to look at the compet.i.tion that was approaching its climax.

For a speedy and pa.s.sionate compet.i.tion like car racing, the climax was fleeting. Even if it was only a few seconds, it was enough to cause a huge change.

Number Four and Number Eight’s cars were far ahead. From the beginning, they had always occupied the first and second places. On the other hand, Number Ten, who was not thought highly of at the beginning, caught up with them when there were only two laps left.

Tang Huai, who had been waiting leisurely at the beginning, suddenly changed his attack and pa.s.sed through the next bend at full speed.

The entire car drifted with the soaring speed, and the back plate even looked like it was about to fly.

“Do you f*cking want to die?!” Number Eight’s angry roar floated in the air.

However, Tang Huai was terrifyingly calm from the beginning to the end. His foot on the accelerator didn’t relax at all. Even when he almost overturned the car just now.

This lunatic’s reckless att.i.tude made Number Eight grit his teeth and give in, forcing him to retreat to third place.

He didn’t want to lose his life.

However, when they saw Number 10 reach second place, many of the spectators who were cheering for Number 4 frowned.

“If this continues… the situation is not good.”

“Has the driver for Number 10 been replaced today? Why did he suddenly become so fierce?”

“I have a bad feeling—”

Half of the people who placed their bets didn’t know about racing and blindly followed the trend to spend money. Now that they saw the results of the compet.i.tion, they naturally expressed their dissatisfaction.

Jiang Weiyang, who was originally sitting in front, also had an ugly expression.

After all, she had suddenly thrown a tantrum just now and bet all her pocket money on Number 4 after Murong Qiao.

If the one who won in the end was Number 10—

Thinking of the almost shocking odds at the end of the last bet, Jiang Weiyang gasped.

The compet.i.tion was almost over. Now, everyone’s gazes were focused on the cars of the first and second place.

On almost every bend in front, the two cars’ synchronized movements made the audience not even dare to breathe loudly.

But people were always afraid of death.

No one dared to compete with Tang Huai’s reckless method.

Between the bonus, the qualifications to compete, and his own life, driver Number Four didn’t hesitate much.

As for Tang Huai’s original plan to overtake at the next bend, his reaction was half a beat slower when he suddenly stepped on the accelerator.

Tsk… Why did it have to be at this time—

Sensing that his leg was a moment too late, Tang Huai frowned.

However, Number 4 had already made way. Tang Huai’s car successfully pa.s.sed the finish line and became first place.

At that moment, the cheers from the emcee to support the atmosphere was even more enthusiastic than the ones at the scene.

Everyone watched this outcome in silence. Only Murong Qiao laughed and held Huo Yichen’s hand, she couldn’t help but stand up to see this scene more clearly.

Tang Huai’s face darkened the moment he got out of the car, and the words of blessing that his friend wanted to say were stuck in his mouth.

“You clearly won first place, but why do I feel that you’re not happy at all?”

The friend muttered and looked at Tang Huai’s calf, his eyes filled with faint worry.

“Hey, I saw everything just now.”

“You made a mistake at the last bend? Is there something wrong with your leg again—”

“It’s none of your business,” Tang Huai said coldly.

Her friend frowned in disapproval. “I’m serious. Look at you, why are you always so careless?”

Tang Huai had heard the same words more than ten times, but this time, his attention drifted to the stands.

Tang Huai, who thought that it was an illusion, saw Murong Qiao waving in his direction..
