Chapter 125: Driving a Couple of Laps
The car hadn’t been turned off. Lin Dong got out of the passenger seat first and complained when he saw Rong Ke. “Had I known earlier, I never would have picked him up! This guy has really gone crazy. He drove over 180 on the elevated highway! All these speeding tickets are going to be dumped on my head!”
Rong Ke: “You know he’s crazy and you still let him drive?”
Lin Dong shouted, “As if I could stop him!?”
Tang Weichong smiled and said, “Okay, later you can just let him go as crazy as he wants inside!”
Si Ze was still sitting in the car. He pulled the handbrake and revved the engine, making the sports car rumble. Looking at his posture, many people subconsciously backed away, for fear that Si Ze would, in the next second, stage some “Fast and the Furious” scene, bringing disaster to the innocent.
Rong Ke went around to the driver’s window and said to Si Ze who was inside. “What are you doing playing with the accelerator in there? Are you trying to scare people?”
As a result, the next second, the tires made a harsh rubbing sound against the ground and the black car rushed towards the entrance of the track like a rocket.
“F*ck!!” Rong Ke screamed, watching as Si Ze drove the car into a row of traffic cones in front of him, directly breaking into the racetrack.
The onlooking car owners were shocked by Si Ze’s “bold and powerful” performance and they raised their voices, creating a din. They all got into their cars and followed after him into the track.
“Damn it. He even didn’t change into his equipment. Is he looking to die!” Tang Weichong immediately picked up the phone and instructed the race track staff, “Turn the lights on the tracks on! Get the safety car in place immediately! Stop him after one lap!”
Qi Yu followed Tang Weichong and the others to the side of the track, only to see Si Ze driving Lin Dong’s Porsche inside, as fast as a bolt of lightning.
He went around one turn after another, and everyone cheered loudly. After seeing that, even Tang Weichong, Rong Ke and others who were nervous about Si Ze’s safety also grew excited and joined the cheering crowd. Each of them had their blood vessels swelling wide, their hearts overwhelmed by emotions.
Qi Yu didn’t know what it was that this group of people found thrilling. He watched the black Porsche dash left and right, galloping without control. He only thought that Si Ze was going to hit something in the next second or that he was going to get himself thrown into the air, man and car were going to become scattered ashes and dispersed smoke.
… This wasn’t pleasure-seeking. This was courting disaster.
After driving around for a while, Si Ze had finally vented enough and slowly stopped the car. Everyone involved got through more scared than hurt.
Everyone rushed up like they were welcoming a triumphant hero. They complimented him, “You were awesome! Were you going over 250 just now?”
“Bro, how’d it feel? That was so cool! We thought you were going to head up to heaven!
Si Ze got out of the car, his face no longer had that hot-tempered expression that made it seem like he was going to explode; but the look in his eyes were still dark.
“Go, go, go. Let’s go up and sit for a bit…” Rong Ke walked over and draped his arm over his shoulders. “Really, you’ve been out of your mind these past couple of days.”
Qi Yu followed them to the VIP lounge, which had the best view of the entire racetrack. Professional drivers entered the track one after another after Si Ze’s laps, chasing after each other.

Sitting beside them, Qi Yu heard Rong Ke ask Si Ze, “Are you in a better mood now?”

Si Ze pointed to his right eye. “You don’t believe me? Last month you asked me to come out to play, but I didn’t come out for a week. My eye was swollen like a ball. That was from his punch.”
“No…” Rong Ke was looking at him, “What are you thinking? Have you really allowed yourself to be tied down by him?”
Si Ze sat there in silence for a couple of seconds. He then made a barely audible “en” and said, “Yeah.”
Rong Ke’s eyes were about to pop out: “What do you mean? Are you really in love with him?”
“Then what can I do? When he’s unhappy, it’s like my heart is being pierced by needles. Everything I do is wrong…” There was a hint of pain in Si Ze’s tone, “Do you understand that feeling?”
Rong Ke was greatly stimulated by Si Ze’s words. His mouth fell open as if he had swallowed an egg. After a moment, he said, dumbfounded, “With how your relationship with him is, what’s going to happen in the future?”
Si Ze said, dazed and distressed, “I’ll just have to see. In ten or twenty years, even if his heart is made of stone, I’ll warm him up…”
When he said this, his eyes were empty and his tone was misty, as if he had no confidence in his own words.
Rong Ke had never seen Si Ze like this before. He glared at him and said, “I mean about your family! Playing around is no big deal but If you really want to be with a man, isn’t your dad going to object?”
Si Ze sneered. “My dad himself provides for several lovers outside and my mom turns a blind eye to it. It’s not like you don’t know that true love and marriage are two different things for people like us… Besides, Si Holdings will be mine sooner or later. So what if I keep Song Puxin? My dad doesn’t care as long as we don’t make it known to everyone.”
“F*ck, ‘true love’!?” Rong Ke felt like he was listening to some sort of Xuanhuan story, “Did you take the wrong medicine?”
Even Qi Yu, who was next to them, felt his heart shaking. It was clear that last night, Si Ze looked like he was going to tear Song Puxin apart. How was he able to just get over it after a single night? Or did he lose his head during his couple of laps just now? He’s actually able to show such an adoring look?
At this moment, Wang Sheng came up. Si Ze didn’t want to continue on with this topic. Seeing him, he said, “Wang Sheng, come here. Ge has something to tell you.”
“Hey,” Wang Sheng responded.
Si Ze waved Rong Ke, “You go.”
Rong Ke reluctantly gave up his spot to Wang Sheng, shaking his head, he left in confusion.
After Wang Sheng was seated, Si Ze whispered to him, “My brother has a game company that’s going to be listed in July and he has chosen Mingtai Securities as the underwriter. After the listing, we’ll be a village for him. We’ll do the usual. Let’s get the stock price up.”
Wang Sheng frowned and said, “Xiao Hang isn’t going to continue his game company?”
Si Ze: “He doesn’t know how to manage the company. He found a secretary and offered him an annual salary of a million. He’s got him doing his homework for him. He spends his time drinking and partying and those expenses are covered by the company. It’d be weird if he were able to turn up a profit. But watching him burn so much money these past two years, I can’t just keep watching him run this company to the ground. Now he’s spending money to promote it. After the listing, he’ll find some idiot to sell it to. ”
Wang Sheng listened and said, “Okay, I’ll set up the deal later. I’ll ask them to prepare the funds in advance.”
It was only after they finished talking that they realized that Qi Yu was sitting beside them, intently watching the cars on the track. They didn’t know whether he heard their conversation.
Wang Sheng cast a wary glance at him. Si Ze was startled but reassured him. “He’s the kid of our family’s decades-old business partner. He’s fine.” After speaking, he turned his head to look at Qi Yu and asked, “Qi Yu, you’ve been staring at them for so long. Why don’t you go down there and have a try?”
Qi Yu pretended to come back to his senses. He said modestly, “I’ve never driven one before. Just looking is enough.”
Tang Weichong, who was sitting in the back, immediately got up when he heard him. “How can just looking be satisfying? Go on, go down and have the staff lead you to change your outfit. Try it out for a couple of laps.”
Qi Yu was still hesitant.
Si Ze persuaded him again, “It may be unfamiliar but you’ll get used to it soon enough. There’s nothing to be afraid of.”
Tang Weichong: “Exactly, men aren’t allowed to say no! All the girls are watching. Hurry up and change!”
The people around laughed when they heard him. Xia Han also looked expectantly at Qi Yu. Qi Yu had no choice but, like a duck being driven onto a porch, stand up and follow Tang Weichong downstairs.
Tang Weichong shouted as he head down. “Where’s Old Hong? This is my bro’s first time so have Old Hong guide him.”
Soon a man in his forties came out and respectfully called out, “Chief Tang”.
This person was the race track instructor. Hearing that this was Qi Yu’s first time, he patiently guided him on how to put on the flame retardant racing suit, gloves and shoes. Before putting on the helmet, he told him some precautions and reassured him. “If you’re nervous, it’s fine to drive slowly. Safety comes first.”
Qi Yu was not afraid of driving this racecar. Few men would dislike this kind of hot-blooded competitive activity. He just remembered the state of the crowd cheering wildly. He was afraid that he would also have an adrenaline surge and lose self-control in the process.
Old Hong took him to choose a car. Qi Yu picked a McLaren 600LT. Old Hong sat in with him, planning to take him around to get acquainted with the course.
When everything was ready, Qi Yu took a deep breath, put down the handbrake and drove into the track – in here, you could ignore all traffic rules.
The initial section was a straight road. Qi Yu accelerated the car to 150 without feeling any pressure. This speed was already far beyond the speed he could take on the road, but at this time, two cars, one black and one white, whizzed past him and in the blink of an eye, left him far behind.
Qi Yu seemed to feel the gazes of the people in the stands and his ego drove him to chase after them — the brakes, gear shift, the accelerator… As he drove, he gradually became excited.
Driving at such high speeds gave him the feeling of decompressing. While driving, Qi Yu recalled what Si Ze had just said, he recalled Fu Yansheng’s dishonesty towards himself and the possible crisis that the Si Yuan Group might face. …
180, 200, 220 … The speed was getting faster and faster. This car seemed to shake off his bonds, to cast off all his unhappiness and confusion!
Old Hong reminded him when to shift gears and operate at the right time. He kept praising and encouraging him all the way. It was like the system-issued “amazing” and “wonderful” when playing a game… The sense of accomplishment and vanity made Qi Yu gradually lose his rationality. One lap, two laps. He felt that if he went a little bit faster, he would be able to overtake those two arrogant guys just now.
However, at this moment, he saw Fu Yansheng!
The familiar figure appeared on the sidelines and flashed in his line of sight. But the other’s almost judgmental gaze kept following him, making Qi Yu’s heart beat wildly.
He felt that his spirit that he was about to be set free was shackled, forcibly tying him back to the body of reason.
Qi Yu subconsciously loosened his foot on the accelerator. He slowed down, turned, circled and turned again. He then returned to his original position, where he took a closer look and found that spot absolutely empty.
He stopped the car, panting, feeling that his palms were sweaty.
“Why aren’t you driving anymore?” Old Hong looked at him and said, “You drive very well, especially stable.”
Qi Yu grabbed the steering wheel and whispered, “It’s enough.”
Old Hong said with admiration: “Young man, you have good self-control. The first time beginners drive a car like this, it gets to their heads and they don’t get off until they’ve driven it over the lawn.”
Qi Yu: “…”
Old Hong smiled. “If you don’t want to drive anymore, you should change your clothes. I’ll help you park the car.”
Qi Yu thanked him and took off his helmet after getting off the car. In a trance, he turned to walk towards the stands, only to see Fu Yansheng really appear in front of him before he could even take a couple of steps!
The staff behind Fu Yansheng explained to him, “Mr. Qi, this Mr. Fu says he’s here to look for you.”
Fu Yansheng, still clutching the car keys, looked at him and said, “You just got off the track?”
Qi Yu stopped breathing. As though caught by an adult doing something bad, feeling guilty, he didn’t dare to look directly at the other party.
“I only drove a couple of laps,” he said.

【Little Theater】
Qi Yu: I only drove a couple of laps. Q_Q
Fu Yansheng: How about we go for a couple of laps on the bed too when we go back?
Qi Yu: …
Lol naughty 🐠 got caught hehe
Oof- Caught red-handed. But also, the little theater ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
That Little Theater ahahaha~~
On a sidenote, R.I.P. Si Ze on his ‘love’ for Song Puxin; then again, considering how much of an utter scum you are especially to him, I’m super pleased that he fought back and is finally taking a stand 💪
I feel sad for our little feesh cause he’s afraid he dissapointed fys 😭😭
thanks for the chapter!
Am I,,, the only one that’s suspicious of spx? Like,,,,, can’t he just leave? His identity isn’t of a normal citizen why is he stuck in this relationship? the fact that fys could have a convo with spx means that the security around him isn’t super tight (unless sz changed it recently but even so). And based on what we know, he (spx) has integrated into the company for a really long time yet there’s such a drastic change in a year or so… what does the secret company want??? idk man i dont believe the undercover agents are pure at heart/// though i 100% believe sz is scummy
I don’t know….but I think FYS is keeping too tight of a leash on QY. Maybe it’s for protection or what not but, DUDE!!! the night is still young.
How I hope the night driving could be as meticulously portrayed by author-san as the race driving that had just ended evilish giggle
