Chapter 746: The Outcome is Decided

Cai Xiaotang's gaze was fixed tightly on the two people, though it rested more on that figure dressed in dark colors, and she couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.

Li Xiao... is he really going to be okay?

Feelings of worry grew wildly as the race was about to begin, and seeing that the countdown had already started, Cai Xiaotang had subconsciously even held her breath.

Finally—a "ding" sound!

The final countdown sounded.

In an instant, all the motorcycles shot out like arrows released from a bowstring!

Everyone's starting position was different, so the distance between them opened up quickly.

The rules of the race were based on lap times.

The person who finished ten laps first would be the winner.

In just a few seconds, the situation on the track was immediately clear.

The race here was not formal; it was purely a hobby for a group of young people.

Therefore, there were no special requirements for the motorcycles; as long as you were willing to spend the money, the modified bikes would naturally be excellent.

Cai Xiaotang didn't know much about these things, only seeing two shadows, one blue and one black, like the wind, always chasing each other closely.

The cheers and screams were deafening, yet she could only hear her own unusually intense heartbeat.

Li Xiao... seems to be really good at riding a motorcycle?

Her eyes subconsciously followed that black shadow, and Cai Xiaotang's expression had shifted from somewhat worried to slightly admiring.

Soon—the two shadows passed in front of the spectator stand where she was.

With a "whoosh," they disappeared without a trace!

"Ahhh! Aze is so handsome! He's definitely going to be first place this time!"

A girl nearby shouted loudly.

Immediately after, another person also shouted in response: "That guy in black is also very handsome! Is he a newcomer? I want to be his fan!"

While the few people were talking, a group of motorcycles roared past them again.

They had already entered the second lap.

Li Xiao and Liu Qingze's speeds, however, were getting faster and faster.

But the distance between the two of them remained exactly the same as it was at the start, never changing.

This meant that it was still hard to say which of the two would be first.

Third lap...

Fourth lap...

Fifth lap...

Every lap was like this.

The two of them seemed to be deliberately maintaining this distance, both waiting for the moment of the final burst, while the others had long since been left far behind.

Finally—the race entered the last lap.

The cheers throughout the entire track became even louder.

Cai Xiaotang's fists had long been subconsciously clenched tight, and as they approached the final turn, Li Xiao suddenly changed his previous style, violently pressing the bike body and the ground to an incredible height, passing by almost scraping the ground!

Liu Qingze did the same, following him through the turn at an extreme angle.

Finally—"Won!!!"

The people around cheered.

Cai Xiaotang hadn't even come back to her senses when she saw the two people's speeds gradually slow down, heading toward the side of the track.

"Who won! Who won!"

Someone nearby asked loudly, confused.

The other people around were also looking at each other, discussing the race just now heatedly.

"Did you see clearly? Who finished first just now?"

"It seemed like it was at the same time, right?"

"Impossible, there's timing; it's impossible for the two people's times to be exactly the same, but the estimated time difference is less than a second! This is going to be interesting!"

Cai Xiaotang took in the surrounding conversations and subconsciously looked at the electronic scoreboard not far away.

Li Xiao... will he win?

Or will Liu Qingze win?

Her brain felt a bit dazed, still immersed in the buzzing sound of the motorcycles from just a moment ago.

The next second—the scoreboard suddenly flashed, neatly displaying the results of the race just now.

At the top of the list was, unexpectedly, a familiar number—number twenty-three.

It was exactly the number that had been on Li Xiao's racing suit just now!

Looking further down—was the equally familiar number sixty-seven.

It was Liu Qingze's number.

The time used by the two was almost identical, with only some tiny differences at the end.

Just as the audience nearby had said, the time difference was less than a second.

This first place belonged to Li Xiao.

Li Xiao won?

Cai Xiaotang stared blankly at the screen for a few seconds, then suddenly turned around without looking back and ran toward the bottom of the spectator stands.

Last time, Liu Qingze had told her that after the race ended, he would come out from a specific exit...

Thinking of this, and thinking of the result just now, she ran quickly toward that exit.

Just as she turned the corner, she indeed saw two people walking together toward the direction of the viewing stand.

It was just that the distance between them on the left and right was quite far; anyone could see that their auras seemed incompatible.

"Li Xiao!!!"

Cai Xiaotang saw that someone looked leisurely and carefree, so she hurriedly ran over with quick steps.

Hearing that the person he called first was not himself, Liu Qingze paused his steps.

Li Xiao took the opportunity to grab Cai Xiaotang's wrist and pulled her to his side.

Immediately after, he was shoved away.

"Are you playing me again? What do you mean by 'only have a bit of a foundation'? Is this what you call a foundation?"

Cai Xiaotang looked at him, cheeks puffed out in anger, finally realizing what had happened after the fact.

What was this about the gift belonging to him if he won first place?

He might have calculated that he would win long ago!

As she was complaining in her heart, she indeed heard that someone ask in a very punchable way: "Does the bet from just now still count? I took first place, so is there a gift?"

Cai Xiaotang was choked up by him and subconsciously looked at Liu Qingze.

Liu Qingze was also looking at her; although he had lost, he didn't say much, just shrugged indifferently, though a hint of displeasure showed in the depths of his eyes.

Cai Xiaotang suddenly felt a bit guilty.

A boy of this age, having been bested by someone, must be incredibly unhappy!

Not to mention he had been so certain before that he would take first place...

This guy Li Xiao!

At his age, why is he bickering with a kid!

She had originally even thought of what gift to give...

"Why aren't you saying anything? Thinking of welching on the deal?"

Seeing her bitter face, Li Xiao thought she was going to go back on her word.

Cai Xiaotang immediately retorted: "Of course not!"

"That's good."

Li Xiao nodded in satisfaction, his arm naturally draping over Cai Xiaotang's shoulder.

"The competition is over, and it's getting late, so shall we head back now?"

He held Cai Xiaotang, but his gaze was directed at Liu Qingze.

"Mm, Sister, see you tomorrow."

Liu Qingze nodded, but didn't respond to Li Xiao; instead, he smiled and said goodbye to Cai Xiaotang, seemingly not taking the previous competition to heart.

A bit of gunpowder smell seemed to ignite in the air again.

Seeing Li Xiao narrow his eyes, Cai Xiaotang hurriedly interrupted: "Then we'll head back first today! Let's hang out another day!"

As she spoke, she hurriedly dragged Li Xiao forward, her face full of conflict.

This guy Li Xiao!

Can't he make her less angry?

Why did he have to come out and cause trouble for no reason!

When on earth will they be able to get a divorce!

Yes, she just can't outplay him and can't out-flirt him!

And yet she just happens to like him!

No matter how carefree she tries to be, she can't completely let go!

But if she can't afford to provoke him, can't she at least hide from him?

So annoying!
