139: Chapter 139 A Childish Bet

Violent gusts of wind roared frantically in his ears, and Zhang Qi felt as if the surrounding air had been ripped apart in an instant.

The heavy motorcycle was moving so fast that he couldn't even open his mouth to ask what was going on.

He could only instinctively tighten his arms, pulling the stunning, wild, and alluring beauty in front of him tightly into his embrace.

Through that thin, tight-fitting riding suit, Zhang Qi could clearly feel Li Bingyue's astonishing softness and smoothness.

He could even feel the violent beating of Li Bingyue's heart, as well as her gradually rising, scorching body temperature.

This intense thrill of embracing tightly amidst life-and-death speed stirred a wild excitement deep within Zhang Qi.

Li Bingyue was completely focused on controlling the motorcycle, weaving thrillingly back and forth through the dense and complex traffic.

That flashy red motorcycle had originally been biting tightly at their heels, like a disgusting piece of chewing gum that couldn't be shaken off.

But in the face of Li Bingyue's superb, almost god-like driving skills, the distance between the two vehicles quickly widened.

After speeding crazily like this for about ten minutes, the roaring sound behind them completely disappeared.

Li Bingyue glanced through the rearview mirror and confirmed that she had completely lost that annoying guy.

Only then did she nimbly release the throttle, allowing the violent heavy motorcycle to slowly reduce its speed.

The deafening wind noise in his ears finally subsided, and Zhang Qi finally relaxed his tense nerves slightly.

He leaned slightly toward Li Bingyue's ear and shouted at the top of his lungs, his tone filled with a hint of curiosity.

"Miss Li, who exactly was that guy following behind us and snapping like a mad dog just now?"

Li Bingyue sighed helplessly while steadily driving the motorcycle, her tone full of annoyance.

"That guy is named Song Jun. He's the son of an old friend of my dad's, and he's been pestering me with crazy pursuit this whole time."

"But I have absolutely no interest in a second-generation rich kid like him who only knows how to throw his weight around because his family has money."

Hearing Li Bingyue's disdainful rant, a playful smile curled at the corners of Zhang Qi's mouth as he continued to probe.

"Since you've rejected him so clearly, why is he still so thick-skinned and keeps harassing you?"

Upon hearing this question, a bitter smile appeared on the delicate face hidden beneath her helmet.

"Handsome, this whole thing is actually my own fault for being too impulsive back then; I basically shot myself in the foot!"

"A while ago, I was so sick of being harassed by that Song Jun that I couldn't help but challenge him to a bet."

"I told him back then that we should go to a professional track and have a real, head-to-head motorcycle race."

"If I happened to win, he would have to stay away from me and never appear before me to disgust me ever again."

"But if he won, I would honor the bet and agree to be his official girlfriend."

Zhang Qi couldn't help but tighten his arm around Li Bingyue's waist slightly, his tone carrying a hint of obvious confusion.

"Miss Li, you were way too bold, using your own life's future as a bet. Did you end up losing?"

Feeling the astonishing strength from his arm around her waist, her delicate body shivered slightly, her tone filled with anger and resentment.

"I was originally very confident in my own skills, but who knew that bastard Song Jun would actually cheat just to beat me!"

"He spent a fortune behind my back to buy a top-tier professional racing bike, and he even despicably had it specially modified by a master!"

"And although the bike I was riding at the time wasn't cheap, it was just a standard consumer model; there was simply no comparison."

"The day of the race, he simply relied on the absolute superiority of his bike's performance to force his way past me on the straightaway!"

"Ever since that race, that shameless guy has been acting as if he's my official boyfriend!"

"That's also the reason why he was so angry and frantic when he saw me riding with a man just now."

"He felt like I was cheating on him!"

After hearing Li Bingyue's explosive explanation, Zhang Qi couldn't help but chuckle.

Zhang Qi gently patted Li Bingyue's tense back, his tone carrying a sense of calm reassurance.

"So that's what happened. In that case, why not just refuse to acknowledge a bet won by cheating? There's no need to pay him any mind."

Li Bingyue stubbornly bit her rosy lips, and a strong, unyielding light flashed in her bright, large eyes.

"I, Li Bingyue, have always been someone who honors her bets. Since I lost the race, I naturally have to win it back fair and square with my own skills!"

"The reason I was in such a rush to sell my house this time is to scrape together enough funds to buy a top-tier racing bike!"

"I'm going to buy a heavy motorcycle with the best performance, and then I'll go and race that bastard Song Jun fair and square!"

"This time, I'm going to completely crush him on the track so he'll give up completely and never dare to bother me again!"

Hearing Li Bingyue's spirited declaration, Zhang Qi suddenly found it somewhat amusing; it was just like a child's temper tantrum.

A look of amusement appeared on his angular face, and he couldn't help but ask a straightforward question.

"Miss Li, if I may be so bold, how old are you and that Song Jun exactly?"

Li Bingyue was slightly taken aback by Zhang Qi's sudden question, but she answered readily enough.

"I just celebrated my twentieth birthday last month, and Song Jun is half a year older than me. Why?"

Hearing this answer, Zhang Qi immediately wore an expression of sudden realization, and his inner doubts were completely resolved.

He couldn't help but silently muse to himself that it was no wonder the two of them acted so childishly and ridiculously.

It turned out they were both just twenty-year-old kids, right in that rebellious phase of youth where hot-headedness makes them ignore everything else.

However, Zhang Qi didn't voice his inner thoughts; instead, he continued to chat along with Li Bingyue's topic.

"So, after you treat me to this meal today, are you going straight to the dealership to buy the motorcycle?"

Li Bingyue nodded excitedly, her voice from beneath the helmet filled with a strong desire for that top-tier motorcycle.

"Yeah! I've had my eye on a top-tier, beast-performance motorcycle for a long time, and I've just been waiting to get the money today to go pick it up!"

Zhang Qi reminisced about the intense thrill of speeding like lightning just now and felt that this thing was indeed more interesting than driving a car.

A flash of keen interest crossed his eyes, and he made a request to Li Bingyue.

"In that case, why don't you take me along when you go to buy the bike this afternoon? I'd like to go see it myself."

"I'm actually quite interested in these kinds of heavy motorcycles now."

When Li Bingyue heard that Zhang Qi was actually interested in the motorcycles she loved most, a look of ecstatic joy bloomed on her delicate face.

For a fanatic motorcycle enthusiast like her, meeting a guy who had an interest in motorcycles was simply too rare.

Her favorability toward Zhang Qi skyrocketed instantly like a rocket, and her tone was full of unconcealable excitement.

"Really? That's fantastic! Don't worry, handsome, I'll definitely pick out the coolest war machine for you later!"
