26: Miss 0026’s Other Side
26: Miss 0026’s Other Side
Shen Mengchen drove a convertible, cruising down the lane, causing pedestrians to stop in their tracks.
Many were attracted by the imposing car and looked on with envy.
Shen Mengchen wore sunglasses, her hair tousled by the wind, yet she didn’t ease up on the gas pedal for a second.
Through the rearview mirror, Shen Mengchen saw Ye Qiu sitting in the back, thoroughly enjoying the ride, his lips curling into a sinister smile.
Soon, the duo left the city and entered the mountain roads.
Shen Mengchen casually reminded, “Hold tight.”
Suddenly, the sports car sped up again, the sound of the gas pedal growing louder, especially the sound of gasoline burning, like a prehistoric beast awakening.
Ye Qiu’s body leaned forward abruptly, then slammed back against the seat.
Ye Qiu rubbed his head, “Miss, that’s no way to drive a car.”
Shen Mengchen definitely noticed Ye Qiu slamming back into the seat and couldn’t help but snicker, making Ye Qiu look foolish was her current favorite pastime.
“I did warn you,” Shen Mengchen feigned innocence.
Ye Qiu glared at her, now understanding that this girl was just being mischievous.
The scenery whizzed by as Shen Mengchen rapidly overtook the vehicles ahead, zipping past like lightning.
The drivers who were overtaken were all surprised, especially since the driver was a girl, they exclaimed, “Are young people all this crazy these days?
And driving such a fancy sports car, must be a rich second generation!”
Some drivers, seeing Ye Qiu in Shen Mengchen’s car, were envious, “So young and already keeping a pretty boy, what a world!
Hey, I don’t look worse than that guy, why doesn’t someone keep me?”
Of course, some drivers were not so good-tempered, directly cursing, “Crazy, having a nice car doesn’t make you something special, daring to drive like that on mountain roads, seeking death!”
Shen Mengchen could no longer hear these grumblings from the overtaken drivers, as these people couldn’t catch up even if they tried.
Ye Qiu sat quietly in the back, while Shen Mengchen wore a triumphant expression.
Finally, there was one thing that could handle him, so she wouldn’t have to listen to him boast all the time.
“If you’re scared, I can slow down,” Shen Mengchen thought Ye Qiu was sitting quietly because he was scared, so she smirked, purposely provoking him.
Ye Qiu ignored her, well aware of the girl’s intentions.
Driving at such a speed was simply meant to intimidate him, and the best retaliation was silence.
Seeing that Ye Qiu was not speaking, Shen Mengchen found it quite boring to talk by herself.
Unknowingly, they had driven quite a distance, and night had fallen.
Just as Shen Mengchen was about to turn around and head back, suddenly a Lamborghini sped past from the side.
“Beauty, dare to see whose car is faster?” The two cars drove side by side as a young man with green-dyed hair leaned out from the Lamborghini and grinned.
“Let’s race,” Shen Mengchen saw that she was being challenged, and there was no way she wouldn’t accept, that’s definitely not Miss Shen’s style.
“Haha, that’s the spirit.
Let’s make Longmen Mountain ahead the finish line, whoever arrives last is the loser,” the man said.
“Hmph.” Shen Mengchen snorted, not one to turn away, and stepped on the gas pedal to speed up again.
The owner of the Lamborghini saw Shen Mengchen’s car suddenly take the lead and his eyes showed a hint of amusement; he too then sped up, chasing furiously.
The road to Longmen Mountain was fairly ordinary in the first half, mostly straight with just a few major turns, which Shen Mengchen had just driven.
But after the fifth major bend, the road became more challenging, with more frequent turns, especially at night, testing the drivers’ skills even more.
Shen Mengchen was always a bit reckless, having raced cars often.
Now that someone challenged her to race, she naturally would not back down, especially with Ye Qiu in the car.
Not daring to would just invite his mockery.
Shen Mengchen not only wanted to race, but she also wanted to win, and win beautifully.
Whish whish!
The two sports cars, one behind the other, sped incredibly fast, leaving faint tire marks wherever they went.
A bend!
Shen Mengchen, familiar with this road, knew where the bends were, realized she needed to control her speed to safely make the turn, so she slowed down.
Whirr!
A loud sound of an engine burning fuel came from behind, Shen Mengchen felt a stir in her heart, and was suddenly shocked; the other party had not slowed down and was catching up directly.
“Hehe, beauty, are you scared now?” The lighthearted young man cocked an eyebrow.
Shen Mengchen snorted, “Just watch; it has only just begun.”
“Haha, alright then, I’ll wait for you up ahead,” the young man whistled and without decreasing his speed, the car quickly turned and overtook Shen Mengchen.
Shen Mengchen gritted her teeth, she rounded the first bend and then accelerated again.
The second bend.
The third bend.
The fourth bend.
…
Shen Mengchen tried her hardest, yet with each bend, she fell further behind the young man, until eventually, the gap grew larger and she couldn’t even see his taillights.
When Shen Mengchen’s car reached the foot of Longmen Mountain, the flipant young man was standing by his car, “Beauty, you lost.”
“Hmph, I was careless today, we’ll race again another day,” Shen Mengchen, unwilling to admit defeat, lifted her head and declared.
“Haha, forget it, racing with a woman isn’t fun, I’m off,” the flippant young man waved his hand and quickly disappeared into the night.
After the man left, Shen Mengchen’s mood was not as good as before, seeing Shen Mengchen’s dejected look, the always silent Ye Qiu spoke up, “Do you know why you lost to him?”
“Why?” Shen Mengchen asked.
Ye Qiu pointed to Shen Mengchen’s chest.
Shen Mengchen startled for a moment then suddenly exclaimed in anger, “Pervert, what are you trying to say, pointing at my chest like that.”
Ye Qiu felt a headache coming on, how could this girl be so dirty-minded, rubbing his temples, he said, “I meant your heart.”
“My heart?” Shen Mengchen finally let go of her guarded expression, puzzled.
“Your heart was scared, so you couldn’t control your speed well, when to decrease it, when to increase it, that’s why you were defeated by him,” Ye Qiu said indifferently.
Shen Mengchen pondered for a while, trying to digest what Ye Qiu had said, but she still didn’t grasp the meaning of his words.
“Eh, wait, it seems like you understand a lot, don’t be so pretentious,” Shen Mengchen felt Ye Qiu was feigning depth, she was too lazy to believe him, what scared, she, Miss Shen, had never been scared.
Seeing Shen Mengchen’s expression, Ye Qiu realized that talking to her in this way, Shen Mengchen wouldn’t understand, it was like playing the lute to a cow, simply put, he was too lazy to waste his words, it was just a lost race after all.
Shen Mengchen drove the car to the top of the mountain, and the two stood on the slope, overlooking the scenery below and the brightly lit distant city; the view was quite enchanting.
The breeze was gentle, Shen Mengchen sitting on a rock, swinging her legs, lost in her thoughts at that moment.
Ye Qiu quietly stood to the side, such a scene also made him quite entranced.
“You know, when I was little, my mom often brought me here to watch the night scenery,” Shen Mengchen suddenly quieted down, her open conversation suddenly feeling different, she revealed a trace of faint nostalgia and sadness.
This expression was never seen in ordinary times, what happened to this girl?
Feeling Shen Mengchen suddenly seemed like another person, Ye Qiu was slightly taken aback.
“Nowadays, I come here, can you see me?” Shen Mengchen said to the sky, her eyes slightly teary.
It was evident, this girl also had her own story, probably about her mother.
After a long while, Shen Mengchen’s emotions returned to normal, showing a warm smile.
“The night’s scenery tonight is truly beautiful, the moon is so round, just as round as the moon from my childhood,” Shen Mengchen gazed at the night sky, the round moonlight hung high in the sky, with several beautiful stars twinkling beside it, the whole sky appeared like a tiara studded with gems, shimmering mesmerizingly.
“Ye Qiu, thank you.”
Staring at the sky for a long while, Shen Mengchen suddenly thanked him, flashing Ye Qiu a sweet smile.
“That day, I originally planned to have Sister Shangguan bring me here, but then we encountered those bad people.
It was lucky to have you, or I wouldn’t have been unharmed.”
“And today you accompanied me here, so I want to thank you.”
It was clear from her tone that Shen Mengchen’s words were very sincere.
At this moment, she was completely different from her usual giggly, spoiled lady demeanor.
Now, she was very quiet, speaking softly and gently, especially with her white dress in the night, she looked like a fairy from the cold palace on the moon.
“No need to thank me, protecting you is my duty,” Ye Qiu said.
Shen Mengchen slowly turned her head, glaring at Ye Qiu, irritated, “Annoying, can you not say such a mood-killing phrase at this moment?”
Shen Mengchen’s tone changed so fast that Ye Qiu was somewhat unable to adjust, wondering in his heart how she had changed again so quickly.
No wonder they always say women are fickle.
Ye Qiu truly witnessed it today.
“Alright, it’s late, let’s go back,” Shen Mengchen shook off her reminiscing mood, returning to her usual demeanor, dusting off the dust on her hands.
Ye Qiu nodded, having been at the mountaintop for an hour, it was time to go back.
The two descended from the mountaintop and were just about to get into the car when a beeping car horn sounded.
“Haha, my defeated rival, you didn’t leave?”
Hearing that smug voice, Shen Mengchen immediately knew who it was.
The Lamborghini owner, a frivolous green-haired young man poked his head out, swept a glance over Ye Qiu and Shen Mengchen, and finally, his gaze landed on Shen Mengchen, smiling, “Are you practicing your speed, wanting to challenge me again?”
This young man had such a foul mouth, hearing him got on Shen Mengchen’s nerves, and her temper flared up, she snapped, “Don’t be too smug, I will defeat you.”
“Haha, practice for another ten years, I’ll wait for you,” having said that, the young man was about to drive away.
“Don’t go, not ten years, I want to race you now,” Shen Mengchen’s dignity was insulted, and she stubbornly said.
“Forget it, you can’t beat me,” the young man waved his hand, not bothering to race again.
Shen Mengchen could not stand it, blocking his car, saying, “We must race.”
Feeling a bit of a headache, the young man reluctantly nodded agreement, “Alright, then let’s race again.”
After saying that, he went back into his car, drove it to the center of the road, and waited for Shen Mengchen’s car to come over to compete.
Shen Mengchen, puffing angrily, was about to open the car door and sit in the driver’s seat, but just then, a hand stopped her.
“What are you doing?” Shen Mengchen asked Ye Qiu.
“Let me do it,” Ye Qiu said lightly.
“You know how to drive?” Shen Mengchen looked skeptical.
Without any fuss, Ye Qiu directly took the driver’s seat, leaving Shen Mengchen confusedly tossed into the passenger seat.
“Ye Qiu, don’t mess around, I want to reclaim this honor myself,” Shen Mengchen still didn’t want Ye Qiu to drive.
Ye Qiu might be good as a bodyguard, but racing was a different matter; she didn’t know how well Ye Qiu could drive.
“Don’t worry, I not only can drive, but…” Ye Qiu gave Shen Mengchen a confident smile and continued, “Moreover, I can also race!”
With that, Ye Qiu immediately started the car and surged onto the road.
