Chapter 522: Wu Hengjian: Young Man, You're Not Playing Fair
On the fifth deck, a wide racing track.
It was wide enough to accommodate two cars side by side, allowing guests to race against each other.
Wu Hengjian was already seated in one of the cars, full of confidence. As someone who frequently took cruises, he was also very familiar with the racetrack on the ship and was extremely confident in his skills.
"Hey, let me tell you, I've won races on this track before..."
Wu Hengjian's show-off syndrome kicked in, and he couldn't resist turning his head to brag to Ye Xiu. But halfway through his sentence, he clammed up. He glanced at Ye Xiu sitting in the car and then at Liu Wenyue, who was adjusting Ye Xiu's clothes and seatbelt. Instantly, he felt defeated.
Damn, having a girl makes you special?
Wu Hengjian felt the deep malice of the world. He had everything except a girlfriend.
Beside him, Ye Xiu was ready to go. He nodded to Liu Wenyue, "Alright, you should get in a car and play too."
Liu Wenyue smiled and nodded gently, "Okay." She then found a car behind them and obediently followed.
Wu Hengjian's envy turned into bitterness.
Bro, can we compete based on skills? You're totally cheating!
"Ready?" Ye Xiu looked at Wu Hengjian, smiling.
"Been ready for a while!" Wu Hengjian replied with a face full of displeasure, determined to show this guy that having a girl isn't everything. Today, he was going to utterly defeat Ye Xiu.
"Alright, get set—go!"
"Let's go!" Wu Hengjian shouted with excitement as his car shot forward instantly.
Vroom—
Given his extensive experience with the racetrack on this cruise, Wu Hengjian used this advantage to surge ahead of Ye Xiu right from the start. He then began to block Ye Xiu's way like crazy.
The track wasn't very wide to begin with, and with Wu Hengjian blocking, it was almost impossible to overtake him.
Seeing Ye Xiu trailing behind, Wu Hengjian let out a long breath: So satisfying.
Ye Xiu hadn't even done anything, but Wu Hengjian felt an inexplicable joy from outdoing him.
Show off, will you? Shove your couple stuff in my face? Today, I'll crush you!
Wu Hengjian hummed to himself. However, just then—
Whoosh—
A gust of wind rushed over his head—
Wu Hengjian instinctively looked up: (⊙_⊙)?
All he saw was the undercarriage of a car.
Good heavens, is that a car wheel about to run over my face?
Whoosh—
Before he could react, the car had already sped over his head and landed steadily in front of him.
Upon closer inspection, who else could it be but Ye Xiu?
How, how is this possible?
Is this even allowed?
Look at yourself properly, you're driving a car, not flying a plane!
You, young man, you're not playing fair!
Wu Hengjian ranted in his mind, but there was no time to dwell on it as he revved up and gave chase.
He had already been shown up by the couple; losing the race as well would be too much.
Luckily, Wu Hengjian had faith in his racing skills. He floored the gas pedal and chased after Ye Xiu. Seeing the upcoming turn, Wu Hengjian smirked: I'm trained in cornering! Let's see how you handle this!
He stepped on the gas and followed Ye Xiu into the turn, ready to overtake.
However.
He turned left, Ye Xiu turned left.
He turned right, Ye Xiu turned right.
Ye Xiu gave him no chance to show off his skills.
Wu Hengjian's face turned red with frustration: Damn, you can't block like this! (Completely forgetting how he blocked Ye Xiu earlier~)
"Dammit, forcing me to use my ultimate move!?"
Wu Hengjian cursed under his breath, gripping the steering wheel tightly, ready to unleash his full potential.
However, Ye Xiu suddenly said, "Alright, enough messing around. Bye-bye~"
Whoosh—
Ye Xiu's car shot forward, leaving Wu Hengjian behind by more than ten meters—
Wu Hengjian, who was just about to show off his skills: … (⊙＿⊙；) …???
He instantly deflated.
Within three meters, he had confidence in overtaking, but more than ten meters? No way!
And the finish line was just fifty meters ahead!
Aaaaaahhhh!
Wu Hengjian internally screamed.
He had been shown up by a couple and was about to lose the race too?
How was he supposed to live with this?
"Sir, keep it up!"
A voice of encouragement came from beside him.
Wu Hengjian instinctively replied, "Uh, thanks~"
He then turned his head in surprise.
Liu Wenyue was now driving alongside him~~~
The girl had caught up?
Whoosh—
In the next second, Liu Wenyue's car sped ahead by seven or eight meters, leaving Wu Hengjian behind.
Half a minute later.
Ye Xiu and Liu Wenyue stood at the finish line, smiling and waving at the slowly approaching Wu Hengjian.
Ye Xiu: "Old Wu, your driving skills are impressive~"
Wu Hengjian: "..." (This has to be sarcasm, right? Definitely sarcasm, right?)
"Want to go again?"
"No! No way! I'm not in the mood!" Wu Hengjian waved his hand, full of frustration.
"Then how about we do something else?" Ye Xiu asked.
"Fishing! Let's compete in fishing!" Wu Hengjian's eyes suddenly lit up. "The cruise will stop for half a day today, so we can fish! Do you dare to compete?"
"It's not about daring or not, as long as you're happy, Old Wu~" Ye Xiu smiled.
"Great! That's settled then! I'll go get the fishing gear!"
With that, Wu Hengjian turned and left.
As he walked away, he muttered, "It's strange. Cruises usually don't stop. I've taken this cruise countless times, and this time it's a free trip, and we get to stop midway. Really odd..."
Listening to Wu Hengjian's words, Ye Xiu and Liu Wenyue exchanged a glance.
Liu Wenyue covered her mouth, trying not to laugh: Of course, the ship can stop. The owner's decision, no one dares to oppose it~
Ye Xiu thought: If you’re on a trip, you should enjoy it to the fullest, right? Never fished on a cruise before? Well, let's give it a try today!
