Chapter 459: The Underworld’s Fake Heiress Rises to Archery Champion (12)

Chapter 459: The Fake Mafia Princess’s Rise to Archery Champion (12)

The moment Tang Qing stepped out, her eyes met Chi Che’s.

The young master had somehow gotten his hands on a powerful motorcycle. His helmet still in hand, the sound of Tang Qing slamming the door caught his attention. He turned his head and immediately recognized her familiar face.

You again?

They kept running into each other.

"What a coincidence?"

Chi Che could hardly believe it himself—three times in just two days.

He hadn’t even seen Su Nan this often.

"You… what brings you here?" Chi Che pointed at the Zhuang family villa behind Tang Qing, still trying to make sense of the situation. "Is this your place?"

Tang Qing replied, "The neighbor's place."

"I live over there."

Tang Qing, the Lady Boss, tilted her chin slightly, and as Chi Che followed her gaze, he was stunned speechless.

It really was such a coincidence.

The villa Su Nan had just rented for him was right next to Tang Qing’s!

This uncanny sense of destiny…

Chi Che couldn’t help but curl his fingers.

Tang Qing, meanwhile, noticed Chi Che’s motorcycle. The logo was unmistakable—a Ducati Monster series.

With its industrial-style exterior and some parts likely modified by the young master, the exposed copper pipes made the whole bike look like a mechanical beast from an industrial zone.

"New bike?"

As someone who also loved speed, Chi Che knew exactly what that look in Tang Qing’s eyes meant.

Chi Che offered, "Want to take a ride?"

He gestured to the back seat. "The tires and engine have been upgraded. Just back from the shop."

Unexpectedly, Tang Qing said, "I don’t ride passenger."

The young master, who had been adjusting the brakes, froze, his hands still on the brakes.

What was she saying?

Chi Che pointed at himself, incredulous. "So… you want me to sit behind you?"

Tang Qing replied, "Got a problem with that?"

Of course it was a problem!

Forget that it's brand new—since when did he ever ride on the back behind a woman?

His first instinct was to refuse. He was about to refuse.

Tang Qing's gaze happened to meet his, and when their eyes met, Chi Che immediately noticed her gaze.

Her eyebrows lifted, carrying an innate pride, an expression Chi Che knew well, since he often had the same look himself...

In some ways, they were quite alike.

The always stubborn young master, his tone softened midway, even handing the helmet over to Tang Qing, saying, "It's not completely out of the question..."

Tang Qing: "Thanks."

To make putting on the helmet easier, Tang Qing let her hair down.

Her dark hair cascaded down instantly!

In the night, a few strands drifted restlessly to the tip of Chi Che's nose, bringing a strange itch. Chi Che couldn't help but look at Tang Qing again.

She stood before his heavy motorcycle, her expression bold and unrestrained, her vibe strangely fitting.

In an instant, Chi Che's mind recalled Su Nan's comment on Tang Qing: "Spirited."

Indeed.

She did seem kind of captivating...

"What are you staring at? Hop on."

Tang Qing's voice came again, and Chi Che looked up once more.

The Lady Boss was already straddling his bike, the empty back seat saved just for him...

For the first time in his life.

A woman was driving him on a motorcycle.

An unprecedented "damsel" treatment. After getting on, Chi Che hadn't quite decided where to put his hands.

Tang Qing didn't give Chi Che any time to think!

The next second, the dark metallic beast tore off with ferocious speed!

The powerful force threw Chi Che backward, and he immediately wrapped his arms around Lady Boss's waist!

The high-performance heavy motorcycle accelerated quickly, disappearing from the Zhuang family's villa in an instant.

Neither Chi Che nor Tang Qing noticed that, as they took off, someone was still standing in the villa's courtyard...

It was Zhuang Yangqiu.

He had followed Tang Qing out, holding a piece of dessert in his hand.

After Tang Qing's figure completely disappeared, Zhuang Yangqiu stood silently for a moment.

That piece of dessert.

He tossed it straight into the trash...

Damn!

This woman is too wild!

She took off at 160 mph right away!

"Hey—" Sitting behind Tang Qing, Chi Che couldn't help but speak up, "Be careful—"

The rider in front, Tang Qing, seemed not to hear him, pushing it another 20 mph!

"Lean into the turn."

"Hold on tighter."

As soon as the words were spoken, Chi Che clearly felt Tang Qing press her waist closer to the body of the motorcycle.

The classic racing tuck of racers.

She’s accelerating into a curve?!

In an instant, Chi Che understood Tang Qing's intention—she was still thinking about drifting to show off!

For the sake of survival, Chi Che lowered his own body too, almost completely pressed against Tang Qing!

With their combined center of gravity shifting downward, the motorcycle tilted, and accompanied by the roaring engine, the powerful machine tore through the sharp turn in the most flamboyant manner!

The speed was so fast that the night wind seemed to roar past their ears. In an instant, their adrenaline spiked along with the speed!

The emotional surge came so intensely. Pressed closely against Tang Qing, his heartbeat seemed to sync with hers.

This feeling was unusually unfamiliar and intense.

As if, in this world, there existed someone like this—

So similar to himself.

Even their heartbeats could find the same rhythm...

"System announcement: Detected an increase in Chi Che's affection value. Current affection value: 27 points."

After the sharp curve, the motorcycle gradually slowed down.

The houses were all on the mountain; downhill was the residential area.

Tang Qing stopped at a red light. Her heartbeat, still racing from the high-pressure situation, hadn't fully calmed down. Chi Che's voice was still shaky as he spoke, "Do you always drive this recklessly?"

Tang Qing's voice was also a bit hoarse, "Not usually."

"Today... I just happened to be in a bad mood."

"My bad—didn’t mean to scare you."

Shit, why did that sound so weird?

The former troublemaker forced into the role of the "damsel in distress" on the back seat, and now receiving this kind of awkwardly soothing apology...

Everything felt wrong!

The young master clenched his jaw, was about to retort when—

A sharp whistle cut through the air!

Then came a furious yell!

"Hey, you over there! Stop right there!"

"No helmets? Both of you, get off the bike!"

All the awkwardness and discomfort the young master had been feeling vanished instantly at the traffic police officer's stern shout.

"No matter the road, safety comes first."

"You've violated traffic laws. Let me see your IDs…"

While paying the fine, Chi Che couldn't help but chuckle.

First time riding behind a woman, first time being scared by someone else’s driving, and now another first to add to the list.

First time getting caught by a traffic police officer.

"Hey, young man, that’s a nice bike you’ve got there." During the registration, the stern middle-aged man couldn’t resist taking another look at the young master’s high-end motorcycle. "You can afford such an expensive bike but not an extra helmet?"

Chi Che paused for a moment, then seemed to recall something.

He broke into a grin and said, "Sir? You’re right. I really should get an extra helmet for my passenger."
