“Don’t talk nonsense. If you do, I might arrest you.”
Ghost Shadow awkwardly cleared his throat, playfully threatening.
Chen Xing laughed and said, “Bring it on.”
Roar~!
Both cars accelerated simultaneously, with Chen Xing closely following behind Ghost Shadow.
“Oh my god! Ghost Shadow is on the move!”
“Big news!”
“Who is the person behind Ghost Shadow? The girl from earlier? She’s amazing!”
“It doesn’t seem like it. It’s a different person, and it seems to be her partner.”
“So amazing! Staying so close to Ghost Shadow all the time!”
Screech!
Same drifting timing, same angle, same speed, and the same braking point.
The two cars were almost like controlled by one person, identical in every move!
Chen Xing even stuck closer to Ghost Shadow’s AE86 than the previous Tian Yuxin!
Following a few bends, he could see it.
Ghost Shadow couldn’t make a mistake, and all his drifts were at the limit.
The fastest way to take a turn? Outside to inside!
So, both Chen Xing and Ghost Shadow drifted from the middle to the outside. This resulted in their car tails almost brushing against the guardrail with every drift.
They hit it, but not entirely.
The spectators standing next to the guardrail were thrilled!
Two cars drifting towards you at high speed, and you never knew if one mistake would send them crashing into you. So, standing by the guardrail, they were also gambling with their lives.
This feeling of brushing past the Grim Reaper was more thrilling than bungee jumping!
Chen Xing and Ghost Shadow satisfied all their strange preferences.
Almost every turn, the cars were on the verge of touching the guardrail. The further outside, the faster they cut through the turns.
Both of them were drifting at the limit distance. Like machines, flawless.
If Ghost Shadow was a fusion of man and machine, then Chen Xing was simply a racing machine.
Nine consecutive loops, the Hell’s Spiral.
The two cars once again performed the parallel drift, reminiscent of the previous show between Zero and Tian Yuxin. Like a performance, pleasing to the eye!
At this moment, Tian Yuxin returned to the second cliff section. Due to the special nature of this road, there was an emergency parking area nearby to prevent accidents.
After careful consideration, she decided that waiting here would be the most appropriate.
Ghost Shadow was coming, undoubtedly aiming to challenge the 603 record. Standing here and observing how he handled it seemed the most suitable option.
On the opposite side of the mountain, at the U-turn below, spectators crowded. Everyone wanted to see that running style descending from the sky.
Soon, Tian Yuxin saw two sets of headlights from a distance. Ghost Shadow in the lead, followed by Chen Xing. Their running styles were almost the same, so Chen Xing couldn’t overtake at all. Ghost Shadow continued to lead.
Both cars leaped into the air almost simultaneously.
In mid-air, Tian Shengxing noticed Tian Yuxin standing at the end of the cliff and was momentarily stunned.
And Tian Yuxin, by the light of her fellow drivers, saw that black and white AE86 in the air.
A shocked expression appeared on her face.
A memory surged into her mind:
Over a decade ago, Tian Yuxin found an old photo at home. In the photo was the black-and-white AE86.
“Mommy, look, this car is so cute!”
Hearing this, her mother put down what she was holding and embraced the little Tian Yuxin.
“What? Let me see.”
Tian Yuxin’s mother looked at the photo in her hand. Nostalgia rushed into her mind, and she smiled, “Yuxin, this was your dad’s car.”
“Wow! Dad can drive such a cute car. It’s so funny. Haha…”
Hearing her daughter’s words, the mother also chuckled.
“Yeah, it’s funny and cute. Your dad was amazing back then. This car was invincible.”
“Wow, I want this car too! Where is it? Why isn’t it in the garage at home?”
Seeing her daughter’s excitement, the mother gently touched her little head.
“This car…”
She fell silent for a while, unsure of how to explain to her daughter. Because Tian Shengxing was now a bureau chief, and his past involvement with racing couldn’t be disclosed to the child.
Children, they never know what to say and what not to say.
But little Tian Yuxin didn’t mind, she said happily: “I want to race with this car in the future too~ hehe.”
The mother laughed: “You can’t race with others.”
“Huh? Why not?”
Little Tian Yuxin pouted unhappily. Mom often said to do what you want to do, so why go back on it now?
However, her mother smiled and leaned in to whisper in her ear: “Because your dad will catch you!”
“Uh! Right…”
“Mommy was once caught by your dad because of racing.”
“Uh… Dad is so scary… Mommy is so pretty, and he actually caught mommy… He’s a big meanie…”
“Haha…”
Hearing this, her mother burst into laughter.
Later, her mother fell ill and passed away.
On her deathbed, Tian Shengxing was on official duty, chasing fugitives outside.
Tian Yuxin cried her heart out by the sickbed.
Before Bai Xin closed her eyes, she told Yuxin that she wanted to see the photo of the AE86.
That photo had always been in Tian Yuxin’s hands. She had always liked that car and kept it in a frame on the bedside table at home.
Every day upon waking up, she would look at the cute car.
Her mother wanted to see it, and she ran back home crying all the way; she had to fulfill her mother’s last wish.
However, when she returned to the hospital, her mother had already been covered with a white sheet.
Tian Yuxin, in disbelief, lifted the white cloth to see her mother peacefully closing her eyes, having departed from the world.
“Mom! Open your eyes and look… I brought the photo… sob… Open your eyes, please.”
“Don’t… Don’t leave me… I really brought it… sob…”
“Sorry, Mom… I came too late.”
“Mom… sob…”
She knew the reason her mother wanted to see the photo—it was the car her father once loved!
The two of them had met because of that car.
Before her death, unable to see Tian Shengxing, she wanted to see his car at least.
Tian Yuxin couldn’t let go of it!
Her mother was about to die, and her father was outside, unable to rush back. Thinking that her mother left this world with regrets, she couldn’t reconcile with it.
She was guilty, guilty of coming late!
Tian Shengxing was also guilty of not coming!
So, since then, she became rebellious.
Tian Shengxing wanted her to attend the police academy, she did, and successfully got in.
However, when Tian Shengxing wanted her to become a traffic police officer, she joined the racing party instead.
She even became the racing queen of Kyoto!
Appearing docile on the surface but rebellious behind the scenes.
Tian Shengxing always knew, but he couldn’t do anything about her.
Despite her rebellious nature, she treasured that photo. She had to protect that photo because she believed her mother could see it in heaven!
Every day, she would look at that photo, reminiscing about her mother: Mom, can you see it?
So, she was very familiar with that car.
However, the AE86 from the bedside photo frame was now right in front of her.
One car was driven by Chen Xing and Zero, and the other was Ghost Shadow’s.
In other words, the owner of the AE86 was Ghost Shadow.
Her own father!
“Dad…?”
Tian Yuxin stared in amazement at the airborne AE86 before uttering in a daze.
My dad, the legendary…..?
The legendary Ghost Shadow?
Tian Yuxin turned to look at the cliff below her.
She had never felt fear for this cliff.
Always longing for it!
Longing for the day when she could leap over this cliff and become the true queen of Akina.
But at this moment, she was afraid.
She was afraid of losing her loved ones…
Having lost once already, she didn’t want to experience it again!
“Dad! Stop the car!”
Tian Yuxin thought of her mother’s peaceful face after death.
She thought of her father rushing down without regard for his life.
Tears uncontrollably streamed down her face.
She shouted hoarsely.
Tian Shengxing: !!!
In the same position, over a decade ago.
A woman who looked a lot like Tian Yuxin, Bai Xin, Tian Yuxin’s mother.
She stood there, shouting loudly:
“Tian Shengxing! Stop the car! I promise to marry you! Stop the car!”
At that time, he had already mastered the 603 running method and had retired from the scene for many years.
However, even though he was no longer in the racing world, there were still legends about him.
Tian Shengxing had retired, but many racing enthusiasts were still crazy about the name Ghost Shadow.
Bai Xin was one such fervent fan and a seasoned racing enthusiast. She had been caught by Tian Shengxing not once or twice.
They almost met every day at the traffic department, but Tian Shengxing always relented and let her go.
Over time, they became familiar with each other.
“Big Brother Tian~ let me go~ I promise not to race anymore hehe…”
Helpless, Tian Shengxing looked at Bai Xin, who was holding onto his arm and acting cute: “Do you think I believe you? No, today you must squat here for the night and learn your lesson!”
“This month, I’ve caught you 15 times. You still call me a brother to the people in the department. It’s ridiculous.”
“Hehe~ It’s because I’m pretty~ Hmph~”
Seeing that Bai Xin was completely unaware of her mistake, Tian Shengxing was infuriated: “Pretty little girl, why are you racing? What if something happens?!”
“Oh, I know, I definitely won’t do it anymore. Please let me go. I have a race tonight… uh, no, a class reunion!”
Tian Shengxing: “I heard it. You have a race tonight, right? You won’t be able to leave.”
“Ugh… bullying people!”
Bai Xin playfully complained, and Tian Shengxing helplessly said: “Why do you insist on racing?”
“Hehe, Brother Tian, do you know the legend of Ghost Shadow?”
Tian Shengxing: Isn’t that me? How could I not know?
But he didn’t say it out loud.
“My dream is to witness Ghost Shadow perform the 603 run in person!”
“It’s said that he retired because he couldn’t find a faster method, but I believe in him! He will definitely find a faster method, come back to the racing world, and break records again!”
Tian Shengxing: “Well, you don’t have to wait for him. I am Ghost Shadow. I can tell you there’s no faster method.”
Bai Xin: ???
“Haha… Brother Tian, don’t tease me. If you are Ghost Shadow, then I…”
Tian Shengxing: “Then stop racing, okay?”
Bai Xin blushed, stubbornly saying: “If you are Ghost Shadow, not only will I stop racing, but I’ll also marry you!”
Saying this, she pursed her lips and looked at Tian Shengxing, hinting at something. Regardless of whether he was Ghost Shadow or not, Bai Xin wanted to marry him.
At some point, Bai Xin’s routine became like this. She eagerly awaited Tian Shengxing catching her every day because he was very busy.
Apart from catching people, it was rare to see him!
But Tian Shengxing, being a straightforward guy, probably didn’t understand. With a wry smile, he said: “Alright, don’t cry later.”
Seeing his response, Bai Xin couldn’t help but roll her eyes: Cry my foot! Fool!
At the same time, she felt a sense of anticipation. Could he really be Ghost Shadow?
Oh my god~
Am I going to marry Ghost Shadow…
So, Bai Xin stood on the side of the road, shouting loudly: “Stop the car! I’ll marry you!”
This somewhat absurd scene.
Although she really wanted to see the 603 run, she was also afraid that Tian Shengxing might fail!
Once failed, there would be no place for him to bury his body.
But Tian Shengxing didn’t stop, and he didn’t succeed either. It was all just youthful antics.
Trying to show off, but it didn’t work out. Although he was the founder, he couldn’t guarantee success every time.
On that day, there happened to be a strong wind that almost blew him away. That gust of wind nearly cost him his life!
Fortunately, he only suffered severe injuries, and with the help of the Spirit System, he recovered in half a year.
During this six months, Bai Xin didn’t race again and stayed by his side, protecting him.
On the day he was discharged, they got married.
And why does Tian Shengxing still have an obsession with that record?
Because, when he was lying on the hospital bed, Bai Xin asked him more than once if there really was no faster running method.
No matter how many times, Tian Shengxing always replied: “There isn’t.”
Bai Xin was disappointed time and time again.
Now, there is a new running method!
So, he wants his wife in heaven to see it!
To console her spirit in the sky!
However, standing in front of him is his own daughter.
The light shines on her face, two lines of glistening tears making his heart tremble!
“Dad! Stop the car!”
“Don’t leave me!”
She shouted.
Tian Shengxing didn’t know how Tian Yuxin recognized him. Because he had never entered his daughter’s room, nor had he seen that photo.
Suddenly, a sentence appeared in Tian Shengxing’s mind.
It was a sentence from a letter that Bai Xin wrote to him before she died:
“The departed are gone; the living continue.”
Those who have passed away have left us.
Those who are alive must live on strong,
Allowing the departed to rest in peace in heaven.
Suddenly, he understood all of Bai Xin’s intentions.
She wanted him to let go of his obsession and look at his daughter!
It turns out that she knew he was unwilling to break the record…
She wrote this letter in advance.
That letter was written for moments like this, for him to read.
A letter ahead of its time!
He still has a daughter. If he fails, his daughter will lose everything.
In pain for a lifetime!
Suddenly, he let go, and things became clear.
I was wrong…
After Bai Xin’s death, Tian Shengxing also felt miserable.
He ignored his daughter’s feelings too much.
Now, he finally realized that he was wrong.
Then, the car changed lanes and slammed on the brakes!
“Dad! Wuu…”
Tian Yuxin burst into tears upon seeing this and cried directly.
“Swoosh!”
But Chen Xing stepped on the gas and rushed out from the side!
“Hey!”
Tian Shengxing didn’t know what Chen Xing’s name was, so he could only shout: “Stop the car! I concede!”
“Quick, stop the car!”
If something happens to Chen Xing, he would bear the greatest responsibility!
“Um… Husband, it seems like he conceded. We won!”
Chen Xing nodded:
“Yeah, don’t worry, I’ll protect you.”
With Chen Xing’s battle power of over two million, he definitely wouldn’t encounter any trouble. Moreover, little Zero had the elf form to fly.
So, he wasn’t afraid at all.
What’s there to fear if you can’t die?
But even though he couldn’t die, little Zero was still scared!
“Hu… husband! Stop the car!”
“I’m scared!” .·°՞(≧□≦)՞°·.
(Message: I hope everyone can live well. Live happily and healthily. Don’t just focus on what you’ve lost; look forward, and you’ll gain more! Cheer up and keep going.)
