As soon as the voice fell, a group of people said "oh" one after another, and ambiguous eyes flowed over the two people. At this time, someone called Ban Sheng not far away, and he turned his head to look at Lin Weixia:
"Wait for me here, don't run around."
Lin Weixia nodded. After the people left, she felt a figure approaching. When she looked up, it was the red-haired second-generation ancestor. He looked at Ban Sheng not far away and said:
"This is the first time I've seen him bring a woman here."
Lin Weixia didn't respond. The referee three meters away waved the flag in his hand and kept repeating the rules: "Go around the middle of the mountain, whoever returns to the rest stop in the shortest time wins—"
"What are the rules of the game?" Lin Weixia asked him.
The red-haired second-generation rich man scratched his neck and continued, "The loser will pay for a car, and those who don't want to pay can kneel down and call me daddy."
"Why, are you worried that your man will lose?" the red-haired second-generation rich asked, and snorted through his nose when he remembered something, "He has never lost. With him around, I always come in second."
"I must not lose again this time." The red-haired second-generation rich man said viciously.
"Why, are you here to persuade him not to play this mountain cross-country racing?" the red-haired second-generation rich man continued to ask.
Just when he was about to say that Ban Sheng was very arrogant and stubborn, and that he might not be able to change him, Lin Weixia shook her head and spoke softly:
"I'm here to keep him company."
The red-haired second-generation rich man was stunned. When he looked at Lin Weixia again, his eyes had changed and were full of amusement. When he was about to say something, Ban Sheng came back at some point and stood two meters away. His eyes were stern and his voice was deep:
"Lin Weixia, come here."
Lin Weixia followed the voice and walked over to Ban Sheng. She saw that his face was not looking good and there was obvious hostility in his eyes. She was about to speak when he grabbed her wrist.
With a pull, Bansheng led them to the reeds at the competition base. The reeds were already withered and yellow, but the branches were still standing, hiding the figures of the two people.
There were still insects chirping in the winter suburbs. Ban Sheng rubbed his cheeks and his breathing became heavier:
"Don't recruit him."
Lin Weixia just felt innocent. She didn't do anything. It was the man who took the initiative to come and talk to her. She subconsciously refuted:
"I don't-"
The cold moonlight fell on Lin Weixia's face, making her look even more beautiful and refined. Her moist lips were red, and her black hair and red lips were so attractive. Ban Sheng raised his hand, pressed his thumb on her lips, and roughly wiped off the lipstick she had applied.
Her lips were very soft and hot, and soon, Ban Sheng's fingertips were stained with a hint of forbidden red.
After wiping, Lin Weixia's original lip color was revealed, pink, a little lighter than before. Ban Sheng found that it looked better this way, and he couldn't help but get even more irritated.
Soon someone discovered that Ban Sheng and the girls he brought were hiding behind the reeds. When they came out, a man said with a sly smile:
"Master Ben, you two didn't go out to have sex just now, did you?"
Ban Sheng has always been well-educated and would never say any bad words in front of others. He laughed angrily, his eyes were sharp and warning, and he spoke word by word:
"Wild your mother."
Ban Sheng's eyes frightened the other person. When he was worrying about how to admit his mistake, the elder brother next to him kept bowing and apologizing for him, saying:
"Don't take it to heart, Mr. Ban. He's just a mean person."
Ban Sheng was too lazy to look at him. Just then the referee blew the whistle to let the participants gather. In front of everyone, the referee repeated the rules and bets. One of the young men rubbed his ears impatiently and said:
"Brother, can you hurry up? This isn't the first time for everyone here to play, and I'm still waiting to catch up with the second half."
The crowd burst into laughter, and the referee blew a whistle helplessly, announcing that everyone could freely choose their assistant navigator. Lin Weixia had been listening carefully to the referee's explanation of the assistant navigator.
It turns out that each contestant is required to have a person next to the passenger seat, who is like a human eye, to predict risks and remind the person in the main driver's seat of road conditions ahead. But when it comes to the players, they actually want someone to remind them not to go too far and risk their lives.
These people are all old players, and the deputy navigators they choose are basically people they know, or people provided by the team, both boys and girls.
"Let me try." Lin Weixia put her hand on Ban Sheng's little finger, gently hooked it and shook it. She would do this whenever she acted coquettishly.
Like high school.
Ban Sheng left no room for maneuver and said directly:
"no."
Lin Weixia knew what he was thinking about, looked at him, and asked:
"Then will you let me have something to do?"
Ban Sheng fell silent and did not respond to her words. Lin Weixia continued to persuade him, without any timidity in her clear eyes, and said:
"I'm not afraid."
After a long stalemate, Ban Sheng finally agreed to let Lin Weixia be his assistant navigator. Qiu Minghua, who was standing by, saw it all clearly and knew Lin Weixia's intention.
She is taking risks to help Ban Sheng quit his addiction.
Before getting on the bus, Qiu Minghua said something to Lin Weixia:
"For so many years, only you can control him."
"He only lets you take care of it."
The referee waved the flag and gave the order. Five or six racing cars of different models started their engines and drove off into the distance with a "boom".
Ban Sheng sat in the driver's seat, changing gears skillfully and stepping on the accelerator. The car went several times faster than usual and disappeared into the dark night like a phantom.
Ban Sheng was driving very fast. Lin Weixia just sat quietly by the side without saying a word. She found that he really enjoyed this state of accelerated heartbeat.
The faster the car drove, the more comfortable Ban Sheng became, his eyes dancing with excitement. The car turned diagonally at the next bend, and Lin Weixia's throat became dry. She secretly grabbed the seat belt, but didn't show it.
The navigation indicated that they were about to enter a steep and narrow curve, which was Bansheng's favorite section of the road and the one he loved to play the most. When the car drifted on it, it seemed as if the whole world was upside down.
It is also a crucial section of the road that determines victory or defeat.
Ban Sheng's excitement reached its peak. Just as he was about to start the car and step on the accelerator, he caught a glimpse of Lin Weixia's lips that had turned pale.
It was like a bucket of cold water was poured down from nowhere, completely bringing Ban Sheng back to his senses.
Does he dare to take risks with Lin Weixia
Ban Sheng gritted his teeth and instead of accelerating, he slowed down the car and drove slowly because Lin Weixia was sitting in the passenger seat.
His mountain cross-country racing car was turned into a tourist sightseeing vehicle.
Seeing that one car after another easily passed Ban Sheng, Lin Weixia asked, "Are you not going to compete anymore?"
"Bi, let me take you to see the night view of Jiujia Mountain." Ban Sheng said casually.
So Ban Sheng drove the off-road car on the track, carrying Lin Weixia around Jiujia Mountain leisurely. Lin Weixia looked up at the sky, which was dark blue with a few stars appearing above, and fireworks rose not far away.
It was extremely gorgeous and passed before their eyes.
Bansheng was the last one to arrive at the rest stop. He drove the car as slowly as a turtle in front of everyone. The two of them got off the car one after the other. Everyone gave Bansheng a thumbs up and joked:
"Awesome, it's different when the leader is here. I'm convinced."
Ban Sheng ignored their teasing, threw the car keys to the red-haired second-generation rich man, and was about to leave while holding Lin Weixia's hand.
Red Hair finally won once and overshadowed Ban Sheng, but he didn't expect that he still let him win. Ban Sheng threw the key to him with a nonchalant attitude. Although he had clearly lost, he acted as if this opportunity was given to him by Ban Sheng.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. His self-esteem was frustrated and he felt humiliated. Red Hair spoke up amid the noise and stopped Ban Sheng who was about to leave:
"No, let's play another game."
Hongmao was not afraid of Shangbansheng's fierce gaze at all. He even changed the rules. He raised his hand to call the referee and asked someone to rearrange the venue.
"Exchange your respective sub-navigators," the red-haired man said to him, then turned his gaze to her face and pointed with his finger, "I want her."
Ban Sheng's cheeks twitched, a sign of his anger. He looked down at the red-haired man, sneered, and spoke slowly:
"You don't deserve it."
Red Hair wasn't angry either. He just laughed and spoke politely, "Master Ban, have you forgotten the rules? No one can stop unless the winner calls for it."
"You made the rules."
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. They all knew that Hongmao and Bansheng didn't get along, but this was the first time they had openly shown their disapproval. Bansheng pulled Lin Weixia's wrist, and the veins on the side of her neck bulged. Just as she was about to let go of Lin Weixia's hand, she had a hunch that something was wrong.
Fearing that Ban Sheng might do something irreversible, Lin Weixia grabbed his sleeve and calmly analyzed: "It doesn't matter. He and I are in the same car. He will cherish his life no matter what."
Ban Sheng was silent for a while, his brows filled with murderous intent. The car lights in the distance shone on his face, casting a shadow under his eyes.
Ban Sheng walked straight over, opened the car door, turned around, and met Red Hair's gaze. He spoke in a slow tone:
"If she loses even one hair, I'll throw you into the sea to feed the sharks."
With a "bang", the black car door was closed with a deafening sound. Red-haired cousin, who was also his assistant navigator, shuddered and got into Bansheng's car with shaking hands.
The two off-road racing cars roared at the referee's command and drove forward. The black GTR was like a flame burning at the rear of the car, arrogant and presumptuous, and disappeared from everyone's sight in a flash.
The red-haired man let out a "wow" and followed closely. He drove very fast, but it was the kind that made your heart beat faster but not feel safe. There were several rapid dives along the way that made Lin Weixia feel uncomfortable in her stomach and she almost vomited, but she still held back the discomfort.
The windshield blocked the sound of the wind outside, but one could still feel how fast it was going. Lin Weixia had been silent, but Hongmao couldn't stay idle and started talking:
"To be honest, this is the first time I've seen him like this. I used to think he was an emotionless monster, but now it seems—" The red-haired man glanced at her, "I've found his weakness."
Lin Weixia pursed her lips and ignored him.
As Red Hair spoke, he started to speed up again. He glanced at Lin Weixia, who was sitting in the passenger seat with a distant and calm expression, and said in surprise:
"Aren't you afraid?"
Usually, when a woman gets in his car, she will start crying as soon as they drive for a while. When he is in a good mood, he will coax her with a few words, but if she gets tired of crying, he will just ask her to get out of the car.
A few stars in the sky twinkled and were reflected outside the car window, like a winter oil painting. Lin Weixia retracted her gaze, turned her head, her amber eyes revealing calmness, and asked:
"Is it useful to be afraid?"
Red Hair raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect such an answer. Looking closely, he found that Lin Weixia's eyes were beautiful and clean, with teardrop-shaped tails, which was also very attractive.
Red Hair became interested, his eyes became interesting, and he smiled at her: "I changed my mind."
"What?" Lin Weixia looked surprised.
Before she could react, Red Hair suddenly turned the steering wheel, turned the car around, and dived quickly down the mountain, whistling triumphantly.
"Where are you taking me?" Lin Weixia had a bad feeling.
The red-haired man grinned at her, revealing his white teeth: "What else can I do? Go on a date."
Lin Weixia looked at his face and wanted to curse him for a moment, but she held it back. The blue Phantom wound its way down the mountain. Red Hair played music in a very good mood. When he sat back in his seat, he glanced at the rearview mirror and found that Ban Sheng's black GTR was following closely behind.
Hongmao immediately changed gears and accelerated. He was also a man who didn't care about his life. He drove the car at full speed and quickly left that car behind. His face was faintly excited. He drove Lin Weixia out of the car, thinking that he had left Ban Sheng behind.
He was feeling proud when there was a fork in the road ahead and Ban Sheng's car came straight out and blocked the road. Red Hair immediately spit out a curse word, stepped on the accelerator and accelerated, intending to crash into it and force the car back.
With Red Hair's madness, he didn't care about both sides getting hurt, but he ignored one fact, which was -
Ban Sheng is crazier than him.
The black GTR lay there motionless, its attitude even more arrogant than his, as if shouting, "If you have the guts, just ram into it."
The red-haired man was instantly enraged and stepped on the accelerator to get closer. Lin Weixia's heart was beating in her throat. When he was only three centimeters away from the black car, the car suddenly braked. Lin Weixia was rushed by inertia and almost hit her head.
It was a dark night. A tall figure strode towards them from the front. Before anyone could react, Ban Sheng pulled the red-haired man out of the car with a stern face. He punched the red-haired man and blood immediately appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Ban Sheng grabbed the red-haired man and threw him into the car with an expressionless face, as if he were a dead body. The crazy and sinister aura that emanated from him came out again.
Lin Weixia quickly unbuckled her seatbelt, got out of the car, walked around to the other side and grabbed his shirt from behind, pulling until her fingertips tightened: "Ban Sheng, I want to leave."
The fist was only an inch away from the red-haired man's nose. After hearing Lin Weixia's gentle voice, Ban Sheng stopped abruptly, gave him a look, turned around and took the man away.
The car was still halfway up the mountain. Ban Sheng drove all the way down the mountain. He drove very slowly. After driving for a while and leaving Hongmao behind, he stopped the car on the wide road.
The car window rolled down, and Ban Sheng picked up a pack of cigarettes from the dashboard, tapped it lightly, and a cigarette fell into his palm. He lowered his head and bit the cigarette, and the engine made a "pop" sound, and the blue-red flames lit up his sharp and distinct profile.
Ban Sheng took a puff of his cigarette, stretched the arm holding the cigarette out of the car window, and spoke in a low voice:
"I regret it."
I regret bringing her here.
The fact that Ban Sheng was staring at was Lin Weixia, but that was not what she cared about. Lin Weixia took out a few tissues from the storage compartment, reached out and put his hand on the steering wheel on her leg, lowered her dark eyelashes, and began to slowly wipe the blood on the joints. She suddenly spoke:
"Asheng, I really don't know what happened to you."
"You think racing is fun, right? It allows you to escape from everything. But there are many happy things in life. Do you want to try? I'll take you on the road ahead."
Ban Sheng was leaning back in his chair, with a shadow of gloom under his cold white eyelids. When he heard Lin Weixia's voice, he opened his eyes and saw the black velvet roof of the car, and his gaze moved to her face.
Meet a pair of eyes full of sincere expectation.
The boy's Adam's apple rolled, as if he wanted to say something, and then he paused: "I—"
While he was talking, Lin Weixia bent down to put the tissue paper back into the storage compartment. With a "ring" sound, something fell to the ground. Ban Sheng's eyebrows jumped.
Lin Weixia bent down to pick up the string of purple bells. When Ban Sheng saw it, his face turned pale and he asked coldly, "Where did you get them?"
Lin Weixia didn't know why, so she shook the string of bells. The bells continued to make a clear and pleasant "ding-ling-ling" sound. She tilted her head to look at the bells and said with a smile:
"A girl just gave it to me. If you like it—"
Turning his head, he saw a pale and weird face. Ban Sheng's temples were throbbing and he felt like all the blood in his body was flowing backwards. He rubbed his eyelids in annoyance and said in a deep voice:
"get off."
Lin Weixia was completely confused and stood there in a daze: "What?"
Ban Sheng seemed like a different person. His breathing became heavier. He raised his eyelids and looked at Lin Weixia. His eyes were frightening and unfamiliar. He spoke word by word, his voice full of disgust:
"Go away, do you want me to repeat it a second time?"
