Chapter 2082: If You Can't Run, Then Don't Run

~7 min read 1,391 words

Jiang Mobai couldn't be bothered to respond to the other party.

He turned back and said to Su Kexuan, "If you want to drink, then drink; I can have the driver take you."

"No need, I can call a designated driver."

After Su Kexuan finished speaking, she noticed Jiang Mobai staring at the wine glass, looking eager to try.

Realizing something, she reached out, took Jiang Mobai's glass, and said, "You are injured and cannot drink."

"This is my celebration party, after all; I have to drink at least a sip to show some respect."

"So, just one sip?"

"Just one sip!"

Jiang Mobai looked at Su Kexuan with a fawning expression and gave his word.

Su Kexuan hesitated for a moment, then returned the wine glass to Jiang Mobai, making a show of watching him drink that so-called "sip" of wine.

Jiang Mobai was a man of his word; he took one sip and then set the glass down.

At this moment, Wang Zi leaned out faintly and commented, "Brother Mobai, you seem to be making a promise to your girlfriend."

Worried that Su Kexuan might feel uncomfortable, Jiang Mobai quickly nudged Wang Zi with his elbow, signaling him not to talk nonsense.

Su Kexuan, however, did not feel uncomfortable.

She even calmly explained to Wang Zi, "I am good friends with his two younger sisters; if Jiang Mobai really got drunk, I wouldn't know how to answer to them."

"Ah, having a person like Miss Su as a friend is truly a blessing."

The words were proper.

But the smile on Wang Zi's face was truly ambiguous.

Seeing that his previous warning hadn't worked, Jiang Mobai used his crutch to tap his leg.

With this tap, Wang Zi was in too much pain to keep smiling.

But Jiang Mobai's body also lost its balance and began to tip to the side.

Fortunately, Su Kexuan caught him in time.

Once she had steadied Jiang Mobai, Su Kexuan asked helplessly, "Do you want to go to the Hospital and suffer again?"

Jiang Mobai was about to speak, but heard Wang Zi say anxiously and self-reproachfully, "Brother Mobai, it doesn't matter if you hurt me, just don't fall and hurt yourself!"

These words came from the bottom of his heart.

But the people nearby joked, "Wang Zi, you seem to have a problem."

"Get lost!"

"It's true, your words sound like something only a masochist would say."

"Are you two finished? Fine, I'll torment you first!"

As Wang Zi said this, he grabbed a handful of cream cake from the table, intending to attack the brothers with the loose tongues.

Seeing this, the others immediately dodged.

The scene was filled with laughter and playfulness.

The antics of the young people looked absurd, yet it was easy to be infected by their happiness.

Only...

The person hiding in the shadows couldn't laugh at all.

Those bright smiles were like knives, stabbing straight into his heart!

Once, he had been one of them, enjoying the glory.

Even if he often felt that fate was unfair, at the very least, there was still hope.

Unlike now...

He could only hide in a corner, unable to see the light, and his life had completely lost all hope...

Why!!

The more Zhang He thought about it, the angrier he became.

Then he took out his phone and composed a message.

On the other side, Jiang Mobai's phone chimed.

He took it out, looked at it, and frowned.

Afterward, Jiang Mobai leaned on his crutch, bypassed the rowdy crowd, and slowly walked to a deserted corner.

A person was already standing there.

It was Zhang He.

After not seeing him for many days, Zhang He looked much more haggard.

His wounds had not been properly treated, and blood was seeping through the gauze.

But what had changed the most was the look in his eyes.

The way he looked at Jiang Mobai was dangerous and sinister.

"Hmph, I didn't expect you to have the guts to come over alone!"

Jiang Mobai asked back with a cold expression, "Why wouldn't I dare?"

"Because you should feel guilty! It's because of you that I ended up in this state!"

"No, the one who truly brought you to this point is yourself."

Zhang He didn't have much sanity left to begin with.

Hearing Jiang Mobai's words, he wished he could skin him alive and pull his bones apart!

But a look of excitement suddenly appeared on Zhang He's face.

He pulled out a bottle of liquid, opened the cap, and shouted, "Since you don't know how to repent, then go to hell and repent there!"

As the words fell, he splashed the liquid toward Jiang Mobai.

Jiang Mobai sniffed it and discovered that it was actually gasoline!

In an instant, he understood the intention of Zhang He.

Jiang Mobai frowned and questioned, "By doing this, are you not afraid your parents will worry?"

"Worry? Heh, I have nothing left, and my mom and dad have returned to the countryside, telling me not to contact them again!"

Faced with the massive compensation, the parents of Zhang He could not hold up, and they chose to abandon Zhang He.

And this became the fuse for the breakdown of Zhang He.

The injuries of Jiang Mobai had not yet healed, so he could not outrun Zhang He at all.

If he did not run, he feared he would surely die today!

Since he could not run away...

Then he simply would not run!

Jiang Mobai stood there steadily, slightly lifting his chin, and said, "If you burn me to death, don't think about escaping yourself."

"I'm not escaping, I will die here together with you!"

"Oh, so you like me that much, wanting to be with me even in death."

The words of Jiang Mobai made Zhang He feel disgusted, and he opened his mouth to shout, "Bullshit!"

"Just admit it, you even want to melt our flesh and blood together; what deep love this must be."

"Jiang Mobai, are you a pervert!"

"The one who wants to set the fire now is you, how can you still call me a pervert?"

As Jiang Mobai spoke, he let out a "tch."

Looking at the eyes of Zhang He, it was as if he were looking at a coward who dared to do something but dared not admit it.

But Zhang He...

He had never had such filthy thoughts in that regard at all, what was he supposed to admit!?

Besides, he had originally wanted to end it all today.

After hearing the words of Jiang Mobai, he suddenly regretted it.

At the very least, he did not want to be burned to death here with Jiang Mobai!

Jiang Mobai kept staring at Zhang He.

From the changes in the eyes of Zhang He, he saw his hesitation.

The heart of Jiang Mobai, because of this, became a little more settled.

He said, "Feeling uncomfortable inside? This shows that you still have attachment to this world."

"How could I not have attachment? I am still so young!"

"You also said you are young; bear the responsibility you should bear, and you still have the capital to start over."

Start over?

If he really had such an opportunity, how could he perish together with Jiang Mobai!!

Only hearing Zhang He shout angrily: "I have already been expelled, I can't touch racing for the rest of my life! Jiang Mobai, the person who likes racing is not just you!"

"But when we reach a certain age, we all have to retire; sooner or later, we have to say goodbye to racing."

The words of Jiang Mobai left Zhang He speechless.

And Jiang Mobai himself also suddenly froze.

A moment later, he smiled slightly and said to Zhang He, "Thank you."

"Thank me? Jiang Mobai, do you really have something wrong with you!!"

Zhang He could not figure out what Jiang Mobai was thinking.

He was a bit broken.

Jiang Mobai, however, explained very calmly: "Just now I still had a knot in my heart, but after chatting with you, the knot has disappeared."

"Who the hell is chatting with you, I came here to kill you!"

The expression of Zhang He was ferocious.

But Jiang Mobai acted as if he had not seen it at all.
