Wan Tong was shoved into a black sedan by Gu Chenyue, who climbed in after her. The dark car windows blocked the view of anyone outside.

The car was narrow, and with Gu Chenyue beside her, it felt even more oppressive.

[Shishi, are you sure nothing will go wrong with the match later?] Wan Tong asked again, uncertain.

[There are currently no suspicious points detected.]

Despite Shishi’s answer, Wan Tong still wasn’t entirely reassured.

She thought she had seen Chen Jun’s car just now. He usually had his own circle of friends, and this was the first time he had appeared in a place where Young Master Lian was present.

Wan Tong clasped her hands tightly together on her knees, nervous, and spoke up first. “Gu Chenyue, be careful in the race, okay?”

Gu Chenyue leaned over, his imposing aura pressing down on her, and asked with pursed lips, “Who told you I was here?”

Wan Tong’s mind was racing. “I’m not sure, I just heard some news.”

“Then how did you know about Chen Jun’s money laundering?” Gu Chenyue asked a different question.

“…” Wan Tong didn’t expect him to know about that too, but she didn’t show her surprise. She blinked innocently and honestly replied, “I overheard him talking to someone in the bar parking lot once.”

Afraid that he wouldn’t believe her, she added, “It was during the 4p incident on the news…”

She didn’t know if Gu Chenyue believed her or not, but he didn’t continue to question her. Instead, he spoke softly, “Don’t get into trouble anymore. I don’t want you to get hurt.”

“What could happen to me…

Wan Tong didn’t finish her sentence before Gu Chenyue pulled her into his arms.

She sat on his lap, her body tightly encircled by his chest and arms, feeling close and intimate for a moment.

Half of her face was pressed against his chest, and the strong heartbeat made her feel particularly at ease. Thinking of his behavior of avoiding her during this period of time, she said in a muffled voice, “You don’t even talk to me. If something happens to me, you won’t even know.”

Her aggrieved tone made Gu Chenyue’s heart tighten, and after a while, he replied, “I haven’t ignored you.”

He didn’t want to drag her down, she should have a peaceful and beautiful campus life. But he couldn’t really restrain himself and always found reasons to see her.

“Knock knock,” someone knocked on the car door.

“I’m about to start the race. Stay in the car and I’ll send you back later.” Gu Chenyue whispered in Wan Tong’s ear and then let go of her.

But when he got out of the car, Wan Tong also followed suit.

Several young men in their twenties surrounded the car, and when they saw the two getting out of the car, their eyes were a bit ambiguous.

Hu Tiankan happily handed a bottle of water to Gu Chenyue, “Moisten your throat.”

[The water has a problem.] Shishi suddenly reminded.

Without thinking, Wan Tong took the bottle from Hu Tiankan’s hand, and muttered in front of the two guys’ puzzled eyes, “Don’t drink it, what if you need to go to the toilet during the race?”

Gu Chenyue : ” … “

Hu Tiankan touched his nose. Although he knew that Yueyue would not have such troubles, it was better to be safe than sorry.

Gu Chenyue glanced at the water bottle in Wan Tong’s hand and saw several bubbles popping up in the water, which looked abnormal.

His eyes slightly darkened, “Give me the water.”

Wan Tong raised her lips, “No rush, go to the race first.”

There was a hint of cunning in her eyes, obviously she had discovered something strange about the water.

At this moment, her sweet voice lightened his mood that had just turned gloomy.

“Wait for me in the car.” Gu Chenyue whispered to Wan Tong.

Wan Tong wanted to refuse, but when she met his eyes, she silently stepped back.

Not long after, Wan Tong heard the countdown and a gunshot from the car. The cheering crowd followed shortly after.

It seemed that Young Master Lian was monitoring the progress of the competition through a drone. Unable to resist, Wan Tong quickly ran over.

Young Master Lian also saw her and pushed two beautiful women away from his side, making room for Wan Tong. His handsome face beamed with a smile as he called out in a friendly tone, “Little sister, come over here!”

Wan Tong didn’t hesitate and jumped onto the roof of the car.

In the recorded footage, Gu Chenyue’s car was in the lead, leaving the red car far behind. Wan Tong composed herself and then handed a water bottle to Young Master Lian. “Young Master Lian, this is the water from Gu Chenyue’s team, but I found that it has been unscrewed. Do you know why?”

Young Master Lian’s attention shifted from the screen to the water bottle, and he narrowed his eyes slightly. “What do you mean by that, little sister?”

He had bet a considerable amount of money on Gu Chenyue, and even though it was just for fun, it didn’t mean he was willing to be played for a fool.

Although this high school girl in front of him looked gentle and harmless, he had a feeling that she had a trick up her sleeve, otherwise she wouldn’t have made Gu Chenyue so miserable.

“I have a bad feeling.” Wen Tong shook the water bottle, and a small layer of foam appeared on the surface.

Lian Shao took the water bottle and threw it to a guy under the car. “Check it out. I want to know who’s causing trouble.”

But he had already quickly flashed a name in his mind.

Chen Jun.

No wonder he came out of nowhere to participate in the bet today.

It turned out that he wanted to use such a despicable tactic to win. How shameless.

“Little sister, you’re quite clever.” Lian Shao looked at Wan Tong and rubbed his chin, “Tell me, how did Gu Chenyue win you over?”

Wan Tong: “…”

Some people nearby also became interested and stopped paying attention to the race. They all perked up their ears and leaned in.

“He’s a scumbag. Let’s not talk about it,” Wan Tong said honestly.

When Hu Tiankan, who followed them, heard this, his eyes widened. She was badmouthing Yueyue?

“What kind of scumbag?” Lian Shao asked excitedly, rubbing his hands together. Gu Chenyue was a scumbag? This completely overturned his view of him.

Previously, when Gu Chenyue was touched by a busty girl next to him, he was about to throw her over his shoulder. He thought Gu Chenyue was a gentleman, but he turned out to be a scumbag!

“He flirted with me and then ran away. Isn’t that scummy?” Wan Tong sneered. “That’s why I had to chase after him.”

Um…

Young Master Lian’s mouth twitched. How did he suddenly feel like he was unexpectedly fed a mouthful of dog food?

The people next to them let out a sigh. Was this little girl showing off her love in every possible way?

From the way that Gu Chenyue behaved just now, he was extremely nervous about the little girl. Didn’t she realize that?

Hu Tiankan was laughing.

“D*mn it! Is that car trying to crash into Gu Chenyue’s car? It’s on a bend, is he f*cking crazy?” Suddenly someone pointed at the screen and shouted loudly.

Even Wan Tong quickly looked over and saw that the red car, which had fallen behind just now, was trying to overtake before the bend, and it was a reckless overtake!

The car was about to crash into Gu Chenyue’s car!

Thinking of the bottle of water just now, Wan Tong’s mouth coldly pursed.

“Then let him die,” Young Master Lian also said ominously.

On the screen, Gu Chenyue did not back down. He manipulated the vehicle to perform a perfect drift and quickly passed the bend.

The red car, on the other hand, due to its excessive speed, crashed into the guardrail while turning, although it did not fly out of the track, the body of the car scraped the guardrail, causing a burst of flames, and causing considerable damage to the car.

Instead of stopping, the red car continued to chase after the car in front of it recklessly.

Now everyone could see what was going on.

This person was clearly out to get Gu Chenyue.

The same situation occurred several times afterwards, with the red car repeatedly crashing into the rear of Gu Chenyue’s car, but fortunately, Gu Chenyue remained calm and steady throughout, and always maintained his position at the front of the race, with his drifts around the bends being crisp and precise.

As they approached the final bend, the driver of the red car finally lost control of the vehicle’s speed, and once again rushed towards the guardrail. However, this time, he seemed to be afraid of death, and stepped on the brakes with all his might.

The red car broke through the guardrail but did not fly off the track, getting stuck there instead. The front of the car was also partially crushed, and as for the driver’s condition, no one knew.

Seeing this, most of the people around cheered excitedly, but some of those who had lost money were dejected.

Wan Tong released her sweaty palms and slowly exhaled a breath. Watching the race was too damn nerve-wracking.

Not far away, in Chen Jun’s car, he cursed into his earphones, “Useless!”

He then took off his earphones, ready to start the car and leave, but a car blocked his way ahead.

“Chen Jun, why don’t you come down and talk to Young Master Lian? Why are you hiding?” a voice came through.

Chen Jun honked the horn several times but received no response. He turned the corner and drove away through a gap in the roadside, causing the two girls in his car to scream in fear.

Watching Chen Jun’s car leave, the people who were still there spat on the ground and muttered, “What the hell was that?”

On the roof of the sports car, Wan Tong looked in shock at the 900,000 yuan that had just been deposited into her phone. She couldn’t help but poke the screen and count the zeros in disbelief.

“Hey, don’t you believe me? I took the 100,000 yuan I lent you, but the remaining 911,000 yuan is all there, right?” Young Master Lian sternly opened her counting finger.

Wan Tong : “…”

She just didn’t expect that when he said he would lend her 100,000 yuan, he would actually do it. And not only that, he even placed a bet for her, and the money was deposited into her account immediately after the race.

She felt like she had gained some ill-gotten gains…

However, it was impossible to return the money, and who would complain about having too much money?

“Yes, it’s all there. Thank you,” Wan Tong replied calmly, her hand holding the phone trembling a little.

In this world, she had never seen so much money before.

“Will you come and play again next time, little sister? Add me on WeChat, and next time, big brother will send you the time,” Young Master Lian said with a lewd smile.

After adding WeChat, he might be able to pry Gu Chenyue’s corner1.

Wan Tong thought to herself that it turns out that Young Master Lian is a fool, and it’s not her style to have money and not make it. So she obediently nodded her head and took the initiative to open the WeChat QR code.

Young Master Lian rubbed his hands together eagerly and quickly took out his phone.

Beside him, his buddies couldn’t bear to watch. Everyone in their circle knew that Young Master Lian gets bored easily and is always looking for something new, so they felt that the girl was in danger when they saw him actively seeking WeChat.

It was certain that she wouldn’t be able to wait until after the college entrance exam to start dating. After all, Young Master Lian’s charm was quite big. Wouldn’t it be easy to pry Gu Chenyue’s corner?

Young Master Lian was also feeling very proud of himself. Unfortunately, just as he was about to scan the QR code, a hand suddenly took Wan Tong’s phone away.

Before Wan Tong could react, there was an arm around her waist.

The familiar feeling, the familiar smell.

She was stunned only for a second before Gu Chenyue lifted her off the car roof.

Once she stood firmly on the ground, Young Master Lian quickly jumped off the car and put away his phone, saying, “Hey, Gu Chenyue, don’t be angry. I didn’t mean to pry your corner.”

Although he said that, everyone could see that he was smiling slyly at Wan Tong, clearly having ill intentions.

“…”

Gu Chenyue’s face remained dark and said, “Lian Yi, don’t involve her.”

Lian Yi shrugged his shoulders, unable to resist joking around.

“Okay, okay. This young master is in a bad mood today. Those who need to pay, pay up and let’s disperse!”

The crowd cheered and dispersed. Lian Yi then circled around Gu Chenyue and Wan Tong, saying, “Gu Chenyue, it seems like Chen Jun wants your life. How did you offend him?”

Gu Chenyue didn’t want to bring this up in front of Wan Tong, so he didn’t respond.

“But Chen Jun has also offended me starting today, so consider yourself lucky, I can help you take care of him,” Young Master Lian said again.

Gu Chenyue refused, “No need, I can handle it.”

His tone was decisive and didn’t show any hesitation. It also had a chilly undertone that wasn’t typical for someone his age, which surprised Young Master Lian a bit. Then he rubbed his fair chin and smiled, “Okay, then it’s up to you, Gu Chenyue. I’ll be keeping an eye on you. But if you need any help, just say the word. After all, I’m really free.”

Free enough to pry someone’s corner.

Wan Tong couldn’t help but roll her eyes when Young Master Lian shamelessly laid his eyes on her again, “Young Master Lian, I’m busy, and so is Yueyue.”

The mention of “Yueyue” made Gu Chenyue stunned for a moment, and then his cold face gradually softened. His ears even turned red.

Young Master Lian noticed and exclaimed in surprise, but before he could say anything, Gu Chenyue had already taken Wan Tong and left.

“Ah, youth is so wonderful,” Young Master Lian looked at their backs and sighed.

“Young Master Lian, you’re only twenty-two, why are you pretending to be profound?” A teasing voice came from beside him.

Young Master Lian turned his head and gave the person a kick. “This young master has always been as steady as a rock. What’s wrong with feeling emotional when seeing young men and women who are only eighteen?”

“Nothing. Young Master Lian is the oldest, everything he says is right.”

“Good boy.”

Listening to the conversation behind her, Wan Tong couldn’t help but laugh.

Hearing her laughter, Gu Chenyue frowned in dissatisfaction.

When they arrived at the car, Gu Chenyue pressed her against the door and looked down at her. “Are you happy?”

Wan Tong smelled a sour scent and lifted her lips, wrapping her arms around his neck.

This action was so familiar that it made Gu Chenyue’s body stiffen, and his Adam’s apple moved up and down. He felt his lips were dry and unbearable.

He lowered his head and Wan Tong tiptoed up to meet him.

Their breaths were intertwined, almost at the slowest pace, their lips pressed against each other.

In that moment of softness and warmth, which struck deep into his heart, Gu Chenyue half-closed his eyes and wrapped his arms tightly around her waist.

But all Wan Tong did was kiss him briefly on the lips before turning her head away and pressing her face into his neck. She whispered softly, “I’m so happy, because you’re safe.”

The night wind ruffled her hair, and Gu Chenyue reached up to stroke it lightly before giving it a gentle kiss.

From a distance, Young Master Lian spoke up, sounding a bit sour, “I want to fall in love too, with someone pure and innocent, someone I can kiss without using my tongue.”

“Um, Young Master Lian, you were taking girls to hotels when you were in junior high,” someone reminded him.

Young Master Lian glared at the person and raised his foot to kick him, scaring the person away.

“Tsk, I still want to pry someone’s corner,” Young Master Lian said, looking at the embracing couple with a twinge of envy.

1 pry someone’s corner = steal someone’s romantic partner (could be a crush, boyfriend/girlfriend, even husband/wife)
