BOOM—!!!
An earth-shattering crash!
A heavy-duty dump truck lost control and barreled off an elevated bridge!
Like a collapsing steel mountain, it swept across three lanes and slammed into a row of shops along the street!
Bricks and stones flew, glass shattered!
And the pink “chopped pepper fish head” car, in the tenths of a second before the truck plowed through……
Squeezed past its rear end at an almost impossible angle!
The distance between the car’s body and the truck’s tail was so tight that Fang Qi could even make out the leftover gravel and mud residue in the truck bed.
“Woohoo!”
In the driver’s seat, Lin Xiaoyou gripped the steering wheel with both hands!
Bouncing excitedly in her seat, her ponytail whipping wildly!
“That was so exhilarating!”
Her round face twisted with an almost manic grin of thrill!
“Senior! Liguang! Did you see that?” she shouted ecstatically.
“That one just now! So huge! So heavy! It flew straight off the bridge!”
“Shoosh—BOOM! So awesome! So spectacular! It almost flattened us into meat patties!”
She whooped as she floored the accelerator!
“Vroom—!”
The pink “chopped pepper fish head” zigzagged through the sparse traffic!
“Here it comes, here it comes! Right side, right side!”
“Ha, missed us!”
“Pathetic! Too pathetic!”
Fang Qi sat in the back seat, expressionless.
In his arms, the silver-haired girl straddled his lap.
Her slender arms wrapped tightly around his neck, her delicate face buried deep against his throat.
Her soft lips pressed right over his carotid artery.
Her teeth slightly sank in, a faint sting of pain.
Fang Qi raised a hand and gently stroked the silver hair bun at the back of Liguang’s head, smoothing it down over and over.
“It’s okay, it’s okay, Liguang. We didn’t die this time either.”
He was remarkably calm.
Couldn’t be helped……
He was just too desensitized!
Because……
“Master.”
Liguang spoke with his neck still in her mouth, her voice muffled and tight.
“That was the seventh time……”
He could feel her teeth biting against his skin with perfect precision—
Just enough to make him feel the sting, but never quite enough to pierce the blood vessels.
……Truly professional!
Staring at the creases in the front seat cushion, Fang Qi’s mind wandered.
Ever since that tanker truck exploded……
This was already the umpteenth “accidental car crash”!
Endless!
Relentless!
First, a big truck from the left veered in after blowing a tire, nearly grinding them into pulp.
Second, a fuel tanker ran a red light and blew up half the street.
Third, a dump truck toppled off the right elevated bridge, pancaking the taxi behind them.
Fourth, a heavy truck barreled from behind in a ramming charge—dodged by Lin Xiaoyou’s slick tail swerve.
Fifth, a bus suddenly changed lanes, blocking the entire road, forcing them onto the sidewalk.
Sixth……
He couldn’t remember.
All he knew was that wherever their pink “chopped pepper fish head” went, it was accompanied by screeching brakes, deafening explosions!
And the bloodcurdling screams of countless dead and injured!
They were now like a mobile death squad—wherever they drove, car accidents followed!
Death stalked them like a shadow!
If the first two attacks could barely be brushed off as “accidents”……
Then these crashes were way past the “accident” level.
This was an outright, naked “hunt”!
A completely unapologetic pursuit!
But……
Oh, well.
At the end of the day, his Wife was in his arms!
Afraid?
No way!
He pulled Liguang even closer in his arms.
"Senior!"
Lin Xiaoyou, in the driver's seat, called out again.
"Amazing driving skills, right?!"
She glanced at the rearview mirror, watching the two of them tangled together in the back seat, her almond-shaped eyes curving into crescents.
"And Liguang, no need to be so tense!"
"We won’t die, absolutely won’t die, you know!!"
The silver-haired girl suddenly lifted her head from Fang Qi’s neck.
"Watch out!"
Her silver bun swayed, and her crimson eyes flashed!
"Alley on the right!"
Fang Qi’s pupils narrowed!
Up ahead, from the narrow mouth of a small alley, a medium-sized box truck burst out like a cannonball!
It came straight for the side of their pink "Chopped Pepper Fish Head" car!
"Aw!!! Think I’m scared of you?!"
Lin Xiaoyou let out an excited shriek, yanking the steering wheel hard with both hands!
"Squeal—!!!"
The chassis of the pink Chopped Pepper Fish Head let out a harsh screech!
The whole small body of the car swung violently at high speed!
The right-side wheels almost lifted off the ground, the car tilting at a spine-tingling angle!
And then...
The nose of the box truck scraped past the rear of the Chopped Pepper Fish Head with barely centimeters to spare, roaring by!
"Boom—!!"
It crashed straight into a roadside shop!
The glass storefront exploded into countless pieces in an instant!
Meanwhile, under Lin Xiaoyou’s control, the pink Chopped Pepper Fish Head...
Executed a nearly perfect drift!
The car snapped back to level after its sharp tilt!
And sped onward without losing momentum!
As for Fang Qi...
He sat in the back seat with a blank expression.
Completely still.
Not because he had great composure...
But because he literally couldn’t move!
Liguang was straddling his lap, her arms locked tightly around his neck, her legs clamped around his sides...
She clung to him like an octopus!
The sweet strawberry scent still lingered.
During the violent shaking just now, she hadn’t budged an inch, using herself as his personal human seatbelt!
She had pinned him firmly in place.
So he came through without a scratch, except...
A faint sting on his neck again.
In that moment of avoiding the crash, Liguang’s teeth had sunk a little deeper into his skin!
It felt ticklish.
So Fang Qi raised a hand and gently stroked the back of the silver-haired girl’s head.
"It’s okay, it’s okay. We dodged it again."
"See, Wife, we’ve got tough luck."
The silver-haired girl lifted her head from his neck.
Her lips were flecked with a hint of shimmer, and the crimson in her eyes was still flickering urgently.
She looked at Fang Qi, blinked, and then...
Lowered her head again, pressing her lips back to the side of his neck.
Her teeth once again gently bit the skin, which was already a little swollen.
"...Master isn’t allowed to talk."
Her voice was muffled.
"Every time Master talks, Liguang gets distracted..."
Fang Qi raised an eyebrow.
Alright, alright, if Wife wants to bite, she can bite!
But...
He looked up at the driver’s seat.
Lin Xiaoyou was gripping the steering wheel with one hand.
In the rearview mirror, she was making faces at the lovey-dovey pair in the back!
When Fang Qi caught her eye, she instantly straightened her expression and put on a serious face!
Fang Qi: "..."
Lin Xiaoyou...
When are we going to get there?!
How long have you been driving?!
He took a deep breath and asked:
"Xiaoyou, how much longer till we arrive?"
"...Soon, soon!"
Lin Xiaoyou immediately flashed him a grin from the rearview mirror.
"I had to take a slight detour to avoid those weird cars earlier. We’re almost there!"
So there really was a detour!
Fang Qi said flatly:
"You’re basically a taxi driver running a scam!"
"What else could I do!"
Lin Xiaoyou sounded aggrieved as she spun the steering wheel with one hand, making a turn.
"The situation was so urgent back there, I just took whichever road I could!"
"Was I supposed to pull up a navigation app and plan the optimal route?"
She said it with complete self-righteousness!
"I was forced into it—!"
"Miss Lin."
A soft, kindly voice came from near his neck.
Fang Qi looked down slightly.
Liguang had already lifted her head.
Her arms were still wrapped around his neck as she sat straddling his lap, facing the driver’s seat.
On her pretty face was a gentle smile.
But beneath the silver strands at her temple, that "vein" was throbbing furiously!
Which made her smile even more "gentle"!
"Master," Liguang said sweetly, her tone warm and soft.
"Miss Lin has been deliberately taking the long way around."
...Huh?
Fang Qi blinked.
Deliberately taking the long way?
"After every evasion..."
Liguang’s crimson eyes flickered faintly.
"She didn’t choose the shortest route back to the main road."
Scarlet streams of data flowed rapidly in her pupils as she calculated something.
"Her driving route, centered on Miss An Lian’s apartment..."
"has been spiraling outward."
The silver-haired girl narrowed her phoenix-like eyes, fixated on Lin Xiaoyou in the rearview mirror, whose grin had frozen mid-laugh.
"She’s been taking us in circles for quite a while now."
...Oh?
Fang Qi also turned to look at Lin Xiaoyou.
"W-wait!"
Lin Xiaoyou gripped the wheel and blinked.
"Liguang, let me explain—!"
But Liguang kept her gaze narrowed.
"She clearly had a chance just now to turn left onto the overpass, but she chose to turn right instead. That’s the complete opposite direction."
"I—I did that because... it was the navigation’s fault!"
Lin Xiaoyou’s voice even became a little shrill.
"Yeah, the navigation! I’m using the free version, the positioning is inaccurate!"
Then her round face broke into a fawning smile, her hands clenching the wheel tightly.
"Sister Liguang! Please listen to me!"
"We’re partners, aren’t we!"
"You can’t just accuse me like this!"
The silver-haired girl’s smile turned even more "gentle."
She slowly turned her head toward Fang Qi, gently pinching his hand.
"Master," she said softly, then tilted her chin toward the driver’s seat.
"Let’s just ditch her and go find Miss An Lian ourselves."
Her tone was perfectly obedient, but it seemed...
like it was said through clenched teeth?
"Liguang knows the way."
Fang Qi: "..."
Great...
The newly formed team hadn’t even met the person they were supposed to save, and already there was infighting!
"Waaah—!!! Liguang!!!"
Lin Xiaoyou howled on the spot.
"You can’t do that! Don’t abandon me!! We’re partners! Comrades fighting side by side!!"
"I’m doing this for our plan, too!!! Senior, say something!!"
Fang Qi remained perfectly calm.
He rubbed his chin without much surprise.
Mainly...
After everything he’d just been through with all those intense situations, he was amazingly composed now!
He was just a little curious.
So he raised a hand and gently pinched Liguang’s soft cheek.
Wife, calm down first!
Her gently-smiling face was squished slightly out of shape, her lips puckering into a pout.
In her crimson eyes, the flickering scarlet light suddenly stalled.
"Mmph... Master...!"
Liguang turned to him, a faint shimmer in her amber eyes, her expression carrying a hint of grievance.
—Master, why are you helping her instead of me!
Fang Qi pinched her cheek again before shifting his gaze back to the driver’s seat.
“Lin Xiaoyou.”
He tilted his head and asked,
“So, you were testing this ‘car crash chase’?”
Lin Xiaoyou glanced at him in the rearview mirror.
There was still a trace of guilt in her almond-shaped eyes, but hearing Fang Qi’s question…
A smirk curled at the corners of her mouth!
“Oh, you caught me, Senior?”
So that was it.
“Then…”
Fang Qi leaned back into the seat, his arm wrapped around Liguang’s slender waist.
“You’ve been driving around for so long—there must be something you’ve figured out, right?”
Lin Xiaoyou blinked.
“Hmm, how should I put it…”
She twisted the steering wheel, guiding the pink “chopstick fish-head” car into a quiet one-way street.
On both sides were old residential areas, laundry hanging from balconies, a few elderly men playing chess downstairs. It all looked peaceful.
“Senior, I think this ‘fate-driven chase’…”
She pouted.
“Is pretty low-level!”
…Low-level?
Fang Qi frowned.
What did she mean by that?
“Look, Senior.”
Lin Xiaoyou drove with one hand, tapping the steering wheel with her fingers.
“I’m just slightly better than average at driving…”
“Oh, and your Liguang’s warning ability, plus this little pink car’s modified chassis…”
“Anyway—!”
Her tone lifted.
“We can escape those chases one after another—fun, intense, and easy!”
“And what does the ‘chase’ do?”
“It sticks on like a stubborn bandage!”
Her voice dripped with disdain!
“One after another, after another!”
“Getting denser, bolder, not even bothering to hide it anymore!”
“It’s like…”
She paused, her almond eyes narrowing slightly.
“It’s throwing a tantrum!”
She raised an eyebrow at him through the rearview mirror!
“Raging helplessly!”
“Senior, feels like this world…”
“Is seriously lacking, huh!”
She turned the wheel again, her expression smug!
“So fragile!”
“It breaks down and throws a fit over nothing!”
“Weak! It needs more practice with its mindset!”
Fang Qi: “…”
Well, well…!
Lin Xiaoyou actually dared to mock the world with sarcasm!
