Chapter 635: 626, Reminder of Reason_1

The mountain road of Mount Laojun is very smoothly constructed, with hardly any cracks on the surface, which is also why Ren He chose this place for downhill longboarding.

However, its biggest drawback is that, due to the steepness of Mount Laojun, only a two-lane road could be built, making it look quite precipitous. In some bends, if two tourist buses meet, one must pass before the other, as they can’t go side by side, although there’s no issue for smaller cars.

When winter comes around in November, the ticket sales at the foot of Mount Laojun would shut down. Ren He and the others paid 1000 yuan to the Chief of Security at the Laojun Mountain Tourism Management Office for access. Therefore, Liu Erbao and An Si didn’t worry that anyone else would come up during this time—after all, who would come to Mount Laojun in the dead of winter just for fun?

What they had totally not anticipated was that there was actually a group of rich second-generation kids who came to Luo City during vacation, pulled some strings, and also got onto the mountain!

The biggest problem now was, no one could be sure where Ren He would encounter them. If it was on a straight slope it wouldn’t be too much of an issue, considering the road was two-way. As long as the other party didn’t drive against the traffic, Ren He wouldn’t be in much danger—it would just be a close scrape.

But what if they met on a bend? To say nothing of Ren He’s current speed, which made it utterly impossible for him to dodge any vehicle, just imagine if the other party, in a bid to avoid Ren He, jerked the steering wheel randomly and flew off the cliff—that would mean both a wrecked car and lost lives.

Yang Xi drove behind Ren He, unaware of what might happen ahead, while Liu Erbao and An Si were both deathly pale. "God bless... God bless!"

"This was supposed to be your responsibility! How could you be so sure that nobody would come up after the road was closed? What the hell are you doing!" An Si cursed. In fact, he knew that after the three of their vehicles had come up, the retractable iron gate at the ticket sales had already closed, so no one would have guessed this could happen. He was just too anxious and lost his composure. While Liu Erbao was indeed responsible, it wasn’t entirely his fault. They were all on the same team—Liu Erbao had his responsibilities, as did An Si. After scolding, An Si felt a twinge of regret.

Just after An Si finished cursing, he noticed that Liu Erbao, usually the foolish one, didn’t retort at all but kept his lips pursed. An Si, who had never seen Liu Erbao cry, suddenly noticed his face shimmering with tears. Seeing that look of self-reproach made An Si unable to bear saying anything more. Brothers for life, none had a closer relationship with Ren He.

"Hurry and catch up to Ren He," sighed An Si, "The lucky man has his own guardian deity. Knight has been through so many dangers and not died, and he won’t die this time either."

It was meant to be a comforting statement, placing all hope on the long-standing luck of Ren He, but Liu Erbao, as if clutching a lifeline, asserted, "Right, he won’t die."

An Si, massaging his temple, analyzed," As long as he doesn’t crash into that group on a curve..."

...

A red sports car sped down the winding roads of Mount Laojun, its tires screeching violently as they gripped the pavement during drifts.

The vehicles initially driving slowly at the base of the mountain were spurred by Lizi to speed up. In their circle, it was a constant competition, and after everyone started engaging in extreme sports, the rivalry only intensified. For the sake of breaking another’s record in the realm of extreme sports, any of them would skip a night out clubbing to practice in secret.

Besides, they were a group of recognized madcaps. Street racing on deserted mountain roads? The thrill was simply irresistible.

Who could have predicted that after Mount Laojun was closed, such a heart-stopping racing scene would unfold?

"Damn it, Lizi’s driving too fast!" Huangfu Zhuri muttered under his breath.

Despite Lizi’s beauty and feminine appearance, and the admiration of many boys in their circle for this stunning girl, it was she who excelled at extreme sports in their group.

Now that Lizi was on a tear, the cars behind couldn’t catch up to her at all; they could only follow at a distance.

"Maniac," although Huangfu Zhuri was a bit disgruntled, he didn’t have any better solutions. He knew Lizi was spurred on by the potential presence of Knight. Usually, when people confessed to Lizi, she’d joke that she was waiting for Knight and Yang Xi to split up before considering a relationship, and challenged them to beat Knight first.

It was this obsession that made her throw all caution to the wind, feeling her idol was within reach.

Duan Xiaolou, sitting in the passenger seat, despite being buckled in, still felt uncomfortable with the G-forces of the high-speed corners. A hunch told her that a certain old classmate was on the mountain at that moment, still gambling with his life, not returning to the track of a normal life as she had imagined.

Duan Xiaolou couldn’t understand—doesn’t one’s belief shake as they grow? But this belief seemed utterly meaningless.

Seeking the thrill of life and death, what help could that possibly offer to life? Yang Xi was with him now, but what if he ended up disabled? What love in this world could withstand the ravages of life?

Duan Xiaolou silently shook her head. She didn’t believe in the magic and greatness of love; in her world, love was just a sanctified term by mediocre people.

She didn’t know about the things that had transpired between Ren He and Yang Xi. She didn’t believe anyone would give their life for hers, and therefore, she wouldn’t do the same for others.

Much of the convoy were merely hot-blooded, young college students, who hadn’t yet graduated. Only Duan Xiaolou, who did not idolize Knight, perhaps retained her sanity.

Suddenly, Duan Xiaolou pulled herself out of her thoughts. She turned to Huangfu Zhuri with curiosity, "The camera was turned on half an hour ago, and this type of camera has a full charge working time of two hours, shorter for old batteries. This means if they wanted to complete a challenge and record a video, it would be around this time. If you go up like this, you might run into them. Couldn’t that lead to an accident?"

Huangfu Zhuri was stunned!

After all, they were college students who were too impulsive. It was easy for them to act recklessly, but now what Duan Xiaolou said struck Huangfu Zhuri like a bolt from the blue!

Meeting... What would happen if they encountered the other party at high speed as they were descending? This wouldn’t be like getting overtaken last year, this would be a collision!
