57. A luxury car like Bentley doesn’t seem to have a handbrake lever!

Mu Ruoxue frantically searched around but there weren’t many things she could grab onto in the car. With her eyes closed, her hand wildly reached out and suddenly, it seemed like she grabbed onto a handbrake lever.

She held onto it tightly.

Suddenly!!

Lu Fei: (*゜ロ゜)

His hand froze for a moment, almost causing him to make a mistake in his maneuver.

Such a mistake should not have happened to Lu Fei, who possessed extraordinary driving skills.

However, external factors were exerting a significant influence.

While drifting through the bend, he suddenly felt a sudden tightness in his body.

It seemed like he was subjected to a considerable force of compression.

But luckily, Lu Fei reacted quickly, suppressing his momentary excited emotions with a sharp reflex.

His physical fitness, which was ten times that of an average person, was truly remarkable!

Lu Fei’s gaze returned to clarity.

He continued to operate the car without any hesitation, smoothly navigating through the third bend.

Leaving the Ferrari behind in the dust, its shadow nowhere to be seen.

Only the young man inside the Ferrari remained behind, his face darkening as he watched the Bentley gradually disappear into the distance.

He knew that he had bitten off more than he could chew.

What made him even more frustrated was that just moments ago, the system had notified him of the mission failure.

As a result, he was stripped of a skill he had already acquired.

At this moment, as Lu Fei was about to remind Mu Ruoxue to let go of him, his expression suddenly froze.

After successfully surpassing the Ferrari, a familiar system notification sound echoed in Lu Fei’s mind.

“Congratulations, host. You have successfully disrupted the protagonist’s mission and earned 500 Destiny Points!”

Then, the system notification sound disappeared as if it had sunk into the depths of the ocean.

This left Lu Fei utterly confused.

What did he do?

Did he disrupt the protagonist’s mission just by impulsively racing a car?

As the doubts filled Lu Fei’s mind, the voice of the system prompt appeared in a timely manner.

“There is not only one protagonist in this world!”

Upon hearing this information, Lu Fei’s expression became profound.

So, this world has more than one protagonist?

If that’s the case, does it mean that in the future, he might encounter protagonists like a returning king of soldiers, a rising abandoned scion of a family, or even someone practicing martial arts and cultivating immortality?

Lu Fei recalled the license plate number of the Ferrari he had raced against.

His memory was good, and he had casually noticed and remembered the license plate number of that car.

“Is it registered in the capital?”

With this thought, Lu Fei’s calm demeanor suddenly became excited.

This world seemed to be getting more and more interesting!

Mu Ruoxue, feeling the frequency of the Bentley’s bumps slowing down, began to breathe more steadily.

However, she still didn’t dare to open her eyes.

As the vehicle gradually decelerated, it took some time for the speed to slow down.

Mu Ruoxue’s grip on the handbrake lever also gradually relaxed.

Suddenly, a hint of confusion appeared between Mu Ruoxue’s eyebrows.

This doesn’t feel right!

Mu Ruoxue’s little brain was even more puzzled.

She even pinched it, feeling the touch, and the more she touched it, the less it felt like the touch of a handbrake lever.

Wait a minute…

A Bentley… a high-end automatic transmission luxury car… does it have a handbrake lever?

She had driven all of her father’s cars numerous times and was quite familiar with them.

This Bentley obviously had an automatic braking system!

But it should be a knob or a paddle!

Just as Mu Ruoxue was filled with confusion,

Suddenly, Lu Fei’s voice sounded beside her:

“You can let go now.”

“You have quite a strong grip!”

Upon hearing Lu Fei’s voice, Mu Ruoxue was momentarily stunned, and then she instantly realized what happened.

Suddenly, her small hand, which was tightly gripping the handbrake lever, felt like she had grabbed a hot potato, and she quickly released it.

Her eyes, which she had intended to open, closed even tighter.

She curled up in a corner like a startled little rabbit, her face blushing, and her head lowered, buried in her chest.

Having freed himself from the bondage, Lu Fei took a long breath and adjusted his sitting posture.

He looked straight ahead as if nothing had happened just now.

The car remained quiet throughout the journey, and Lu Fei didn’t speak a word.

Soon, they arrived back in Shanghai.

“We’re in Shanghai now. It’ll take another half an hour to get to the Mu residence. Do you want to make a phone call?” 

Lu Fei suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.

Mu Ruoxue responded softly, like the buzzing of a mosquito.

“Um.”

She then lowered her head, took out her phone, and dialed a number.

…

It wasn’t until they were close to the Mu residence that Mu Ruoxue finally returned to normal.

But her eyes still couldn’t dare to look at Lu Fei.

She had done so many inappropriate things today!!!

Do I actually like Lu Fei?

This feeling is so strange.

Then, what were my feelings towards Lin Ran before?

Was it simply curiosity sparked by interest?

But now, she couldn’t muster any interest in Lin Ran at all. Does this mean she no longer likes him?

Her mind was filled with thoughts of the little sidekick driving from the driver’s seat!!

Compared to Lu Fei, Lin Ran doesn’t seem as outstanding!

Mu Ruoxue’s gaze toward Lu Fei was somewhat evasive. After hesitating for a moment, she suddenly made a determined decision.

“Lu Fei…”

Lu Fei suddenly heard Mu Ruoxue calling his name and instinctively turned his head.

“Yeah, what’s up? Uh!!”

Just as he turned his head, 

He saw Mu Ruoxue clumsily propping herself up, tilting her head back, and pressing her lips against his with a slight blush on her face.

And then, their lips separated in an instant.

Lu Fei felt a slight coolness on his lips, as if they had been touched by an ice cream.

Holy crap!!!

What is this little girl thinking?

Kissing me?

Or am I imagining things?

Lu Fei suddenly questioned his own soul.
