Chapter 462: Chapter 463: Racing

Half an hour later, Song Xiaodong dropped off Feng Kexin at the school. Just before Feng Kexin got out of the car, Song Xiaodong still expressed his concern, saying, "Are you really okay?"

"No problem, you forgot. I have my powerful ’sixth sense’. If there’s any danger, I’ll feel it, then I’ll hide first and let you come to help me."

"Hiding is useless. The places you think are secret are actually more conducive for an assassin to act. So, if you really sense danger, you should try to go to places with more people. That way, it’s not easy for the other party to make a move."

Feng Kexin nodded and said, "I see. It’s easy to find places with lots of people in the school."

"Yeah, that’s good."

Feng Kexin waved to Song Xiaodong and then got out of the car by herself.

Song Xiaodong watched Feng Kexin enter the school, his gaze still patrolling the surroundings, indeed seeing no one following Feng Kexin, before leaving.

After being busy in the company for half a day, at a little past three in the afternoon, Song Xiaodong arrived at the school. Feng Kexin was in her dorm at the time, so Song Xiaodong waited for her under the dormitory building.

"Hey, isn’t that our school beauty’s boyfriend? That ’pretentious bro’?" Several boys walked over, one of them coming directly up to Song Xiaodong.

Song Xiaodong immediately recognized the boy who spoke as Wang Mo, the son of a coal mine owner, a guy who claimed to be a nouveau riche.

"Nouveau riche, how coincidental. I didn’t expect you could recognize me."

Wang Mo said with a grin, "Of course, I must remember, in the school, no one else spends money like you do apart from me. I have to remember you."

"Ha... Yeah, both nouveau riche," Song Xiaodong laughed as well.

"Hey, what are you doing here? Shen Yue doesn’t live in this building. Oh man, this is where Feng Kexin lives, don’t tell me you’ve hooked up with Feng Kexin too?" Wang Mo’s eyes widened as he shouted, looking at Song Xiaodong.

Song Xiaodong chuckled lightly and said, "Of course."

"Damn! I mean, holy...!" Wang Mo used several similar exclamations, then put his arm around Song Xiaodong’s shoulder and said, "You’re too awesome. Both of us are nouveau riche, both splash the cash, so why do people look at me like I’m an idiot, and yet the school beauty lets you get with her?"

"You’ll have to learn that slowly."

Song Xiaodong exchanged a few words with Wang Mo when Feng Kexin walked out. Seeing Song Xiaodong, she quickly approached and linked her arm with his.

Wang Mo’s mouth twitched and he said, "Dude, I respect you."

Song Xiaodong laughed heartily and replied, "Of course." Then he turned and left with Feng Kexin.

Feng Kexin chuckled and said, "So you and that nouveau riche Wang Mo are quite familiar, huh?"

"Sort of, met him a couple of times."

"That guy is quite interesting, intentionally acting like a nouveau riche, when in fact he’s pretty smart."

"You also noticed that he’s just pretending?"

"Of course, I could tell. He’s actually very shrewd inside, just don’t know why he always pretends to act that way every day."

"Everyone has their own reasons, I guess."

Not long after they walked out, two people blocked their path.

One of them was a handsome, tall young man. From the perspective of today’s girls, he was definitely on the level of a school heartthrob. He was Su Yawei, the one who had argued with Song Xiaodong over Shen Yue’s favor. With a frown, he said, "Kexin, what’s this... Why are you walking with Shen Yue’s boyfriend?"

"Is that not allowed?" Feng Kexin’s demeanor was quite calm.

"Of course, that’s not too good. It’s bad for your reputation, you know. This guy is obviously playing two sides; you can’t let him deceive you."

With a slight smile, Feng Kexin replied, "Deceive me or not, I can tell the difference. Thanks for the warning, Brother Dongzi, let’s go." Saying this, she pulled on Song Xiaodong’s arm and walked past Su Yawei.

Su Yawei watched their retreating figures, his expression turning fierce. He pulled out his phone and dialed a number directly, saying, "I’ve got some trouble. There’s someone who doesn’t know what’s good for him, trying to steal my woman. Teach him a lesson."

After leaving the school, Song Xiaodong and Feng Kexin got into a car, with Song Xiaodong driving straight in the direction of the airport.

Tiannan City was only a third-tier city, so it did not have an airport. The nearest was in the provincial capital city, about sixty to seventy kilometers away. By car, it was just over an hour’s travel, which in a big city might not be enough to even reach the airport if you were far away.

Song Xiaodong didn’t take the highway. From the school to the airport, there was a shortcut with less traffic and good road conditions that wasn’t any slower than the highway, and it didn’t involve any detours.

After more than twenty minutes, Song Xiaodong’s car was already on that highway. The road was quite wide, with three lanes on each side and not many cars, which made for a very smooth drive.

However, Song Xiaodong soon furrowed his brow and said, "Hold tight, someone is following us."

"Ah!" Feng Kexin let out a low exclamation and turned her head to look back. There were two cars rapidly closing in on theirs.

"What do we do?" Feng Kexin asked nervously, gripping the handhold above her head.

With an indifferent smile, Song Xiaodong answered, "No worries, Kexin. Have you ever raced in a car?"

"No... I rarely ride in other people’s cars," Feng Kexin immediately responded.

"How about I take you for a little street racing today?" Song Xiaodong said with a smile.

"Ah... okay!" Feng Kexin hesitated for a moment, then quickly grasped Song Xiaodong’s intent and promptly agreed with excitement.

"Then get ready, here we go."

"Okay!" Feng Kexin adjusted her sitting position, gripping even tighter.

Song Xiaodong’s foot slammed on the gas pedal, and the Audi immediately picked up speed. Due to inertia, Feng Kexin’s back was pressed hard against the seat as she watched the scenery fly past rapidly, and with the pressure, she instantly tensed up.

Glancing at the dashboard in the car, she saw the speedometer needle climbing fast.

One hundred!

One hundred twenty!

It quickly soared to one hundred sixty.

The road wasn’t busy, but that didn’t mean it was empty. With Song Xiaodong’s speed, they soon overtook one car after another.

Yet Feng Kexin didn’t feel the car shake intensely, it seemed very steady, though the noise inside the car had obviously increased significantly since the start.

The two cars behind were quickly left at a distance, but they clearly were not willing to give up and increased their speed as well. The three vehicles raced down the highway, staging an intense high-speed chase.
