Chapter 18: A Speed Comparison with Santana
"Brother," the fatty kept tugging at Xie Fei's clothes from behind. "Saying that car is a piece of junk was just a boast, you don't have to use your own legs to fight with someone else's four wheels."
"Haha, okay, I've seen arrogant ones before, but someone as ignorant of their place as you, this is the first time. Shi Qianfan was taken aback when he heard Xie Feiyu agree, but immediately laughed, thinking that if you're looking for trouble, then I'll accommodate you."
"It turns out he's an idiot, no wonder he'd do something as stupidly heroic as that!" The student nicknamed Sanzi by Shi Qianfan sneered.
"Xie Feiyu, don't gamble with him." Ouyang Yan pulled Xie Feiyu's arm and shook her head. "He can do anything, it will be troublesome if you lose."
"Don't worry, I can take him down. With this many people around and the distance to Mingyue Tower being so short, I can outrun him." Xie Feiyu said loudly.
"Haha, okay, you little kid is really cute." Shi Qianfan laughed wildly. "Xie Feiyu, listen up, the brakes on this car aren't too great, what if I accidentally hit your leg, you won't blame me, right?"
"You can knock against my leg, that's just my bad luck. But what if you lose?" Xie Feiyu retorted.
"Haha, I lost? I lost, Shi Qianfan will shine your shoes for you, every time we meet!"
"Alright, that's settled then. Everyone listen up, Shi Qianfan loses and he has to shine my shoes, every time we meet!" Xie Feiyu raised his voice, addressing all the students gathered around watching the commotion.
"Madman."
"This is no madman, this is a fool." The students on one side were in an uproar.
"Dude, you're really gambling, aren't you?" Fatso said worriedly.
"It's okay." Xie Feiyu patted Baozi on the shoulder and then began to shake his hands and press his legs, doing some preparatory work.
"Idiot!" Shi Qianfan spat a mouthful of saliva on the ground with great force.
"Shi Shao, did you really kick him in the leg?" one of the younger brothers asked.
"Bang! Why not bang? It's just a matter of losing some money." Shi Qianfan retorted fiercely.
"Is it okay?"
"It's fine, if you can't wait, you can leave first." Xie Feiyu said nonchalantly, then continued to stretch his legs, stretching the left leg and then the right leg.
"I'm walking ahead of you, does that mean I'm bullying you?" Shi Qianfan said with a cold smile.
The crowd of onlookers grew larger, and when they heard the details of what had happened, everyone's gaze turned to Xie Feiyu with uniform sympathy. It seemed that tomorrow would see another student learning from a wheelchair.
"Listen up, if anyone blocks my way again, I'll pretend I didn't see them." Shi Qianfan said with a cold smile, loudly announcing to the increasingly gathering crowd of classmates.
Upon hearing this, the people who were originally scattered and standing on the main road suddenly moved to both sides with a rustling sound.
Haha, kid, play a trick on me and I'll make you pay. Shi Qianfan gazed at the empty main road, letting out a cold laugh in his heart.
"Ouyang, Pàngzi, let's go." Xie Feiyu calmly stood up and beckoned to Ouyang Yan and Yuan Hao before slowly walking forward.
"Little one, are you saying that if you say compare, then compare, but if you don't say compare, then don't compare?" Sanzi asked, poking his head out of the carriage.
"Who says we can't compare? You can chase now." Xie Feiyu turned back and smiled.
"Big brother, step on it and kill that bastard!" Sanzi was blocked by Xie Feiyu and was stunned for a long time before he retreated and said.
Shi Qianfan's mouth curled up in a cold smile, shifted into gear, released the brake, and the car "roared" to life before sputtering out.
"Damn it!" Shi Qianfan twisted the key and restarted the car again.
"Vroom... vroom... vroom..." The ignition sound kept going, but it just wouldn't start.
"My goodness, this kid is really lucky, Shi Shao's car broke down at this time."
"Yes, if I were you, I'd take this opportunity to run for my life and might even be able to reach Mingyue Tower first."
"But look at this silly kid, still strolling around slowly?"
"Xie Feiyu, you go ahead first." Ouyang Yan looked at Xie Feiyu's slow pace and urged him on.
"Boss, didn't you know all along that this kid's car would break down?" Fatso looked at Xie Feiyu with a face full of admiration, almost worshiping him. This is too awesome!
"Oh, that's just their bad luck." Xie Feiyu said indifferently, but in his heart he was sneering, a circuit malfunction, you can start a fire if you have the skills.
"Rat-a-tat-tat..." Shi Qianfan was still lighting the fire, watching as the three people almost reached the school gate, beads of sweat seeping out on his forehead.
"You guys hurry up." Xie Feiyu surprisingly still had the leisure to turn his head around and wave at Shi Qianfan, who was covered in sweat.
"You three, get down and push!" Shi Qianfan roared at the three younger brothers sitting in the back seat.
"Hurry up, hurry up, get in the car." The three sons and daughters scrambled to open the door and got out. With so many people watching, if they lost, Shi Qianfan's face would be lost at home. At that time, this anger must be vented on them.
When they reached the school gate, Xie Feiyu still pulled the two of them to a stop and turned around with a smile, watching the few people pushing carts "hei yo hei yo". He wasn't afraid of getting others angry.
Santana gradually slid forward under the push of three people, and the speed got faster and faster. Shi Qianfan felt that the initial speed was enough, and calmly shifted gears with a "hum" sound. The car's engine emitted a loud roar and accelerated.
"Thanks to Feiyu, their car is on fire." Ouyang Yan was shocked and tightly grasped Xiao Feiyu's hand.
Feeling the warmth transmitted from the slender and delicate small hand in his hand, Xie Feiyu's heart skipped a beat.
"Ding, sensory pleasure obtained, acquired anomaly points: 2 points." The metallic sound in his mind also rang out at the right time.
"Ouyang, don't be nervous, they're still far away from us." Xie Feiyu said, looking at Ouyang Yan's tense face and squeezing her small hand.
Ouyang Yan only then saw that one of her small hands was actually being held by Xie Feiyu's large hands, and her face turned red as she tried to pull it back. But Xie Feiyu wasn't willing to let go of this small hand, using a bit of force to tightly grasp it. Ouyang Yan struggled for a few moments but couldn't break free, and surprisingly didn't struggle anymore, allowing Xie Feiyu to hold her small hand, which made Xie Feiyu feel slightly pleased with himself.
Shi Qianfan gazed at the two hands clasped together, a hint of ferocity flashing in his eyes. Damn it, he had been pestering them for over a year and still hadn't received such treatment. However, as he listened to the steady hum of the engine, a cold smile crept onto the corner of his mouth.
"Boss," said the three men pushing the cart as they opened the door and got in.
Shi Qianfan stepped on the accelerator, but the car didn't speed up as usual. Instead, it made a "ga" sound and stalled again.
"Damn it!" Shi Qianfan punched the steering wheel heavily.
"Older brother, let's push again!" The three people in the back seat sensibly opened the car door and got out again.
"Wait a minute, I'll go first, you guys come over slowly later." Shi Qianfan shouted out the car window. But this time, not even a spark was lit.
"Keep pushing, don't stop! Push me all the way to Mingyue Building!" Shi Qianfan exclaimed after trying a few times.
"Boss, the car is too heavy, we're pushing... can't push it any faster." Sanzi wiped the sweat from his forehead and panted.
Shi Qianfan glanced at the onlookers on both sides, pulled out a stack of 100-yuan bills from his pocket and slapped them against the car door with a "bang bang" sound. "Who's going to help me push the car? This money is yours."
