~6 min read 1,027 words

But it was all to see Brother Shiguang!

194. (2/5) Chase the lightning, faster than it, surpass it!

Night.

Wan He sleepily opened his eyes.

He found the RV was still moving.

He rubbed his eyes.

He yawned.

Drowsy, he made his way to the cab.

Ning Chen's eyes were bloodshot.

But he still gripped the steering wheel, his foot pressing the accelerator.

Wan He's eyes went wide.

You have to understand.

Ning Chen had been driving since morning!

Aside from eating, sleeping, using the bathroom, and other necessities.

He would sit in the driver's seat and drive.

But!

It's already night now!

Is this guy a monster?!

It's been at least sixteen or seventeen hours already!

Although Wan He was raised with strict discipline.

He had still learned to drive early on and gotten his license.

He understood.

What it meant for one person to drive continuously for such a long stretch of time.

It meant he didn't value his life!

Wan He hurried forward and looked into Ning Chen's calm, unruffled eyes.

He said in shock: "Code name A, how long have you been driving?! If you keep going something's going to happen! Pull over and rest right now, or the car is going to wreck the person!"

Ning Chen did not answer.

The people in the livestream room all snorted coldly in unison.

【This kid is still wet behind the ears, he doesn't know how amazing our Brother Shiguang is!】

【That's right, our Brother Shiguang livestreamed continuously for nineteen hours, breaking the broadcasting circle's record for continuous livestream duration — how could he possibly collapse now!】

【Off to a leading start with unyielding endurance, other streamers don't stand a chance!】

【Old fans know what's up!】

Although it was already deep into the night.

There were still quite a few people in Brother Shiguang's livestream room.

Until Brother Shiguang reached his destination, they unanimously treated this place as another home or school.

Many people would come here to enjoy the scenery.

Many others came here to open their hearts.

They would share stories and life experiences.

Elders would also warn the younger ones about some unspoken rules of society.

There were also college students teaching middle and high school students about studying and choosing majors.

Just now, a fresh college graduate had been spamming the screen like crazy.

【All you high schoolers out there, when filling in your college choices after the gaokao, absolutely, positively do NOT choose civil engineering!】

【All you high schoolers out there, when filling in your college choices after the gaokao, absolutely, positively do NOT choose civil engineering!】

Seeing this person spamming the screen.

Quite a few people also started teasing.

【Civil engineering grad, grab a bucket and run!】

【Don't talk nonsense! My senior is super handsome, graduated in civil engineering, has now been working for three years, and currently looks just like a greasy middle-aged man, with extremely rich social experience — this is a truly rare and precious experience!】

【Tomb engineering, the death-brand major!】

【My faucet at home is broken, can you civil engineering folks send someone over to fix it?】

【I studied civil engineering, and now they call me a rectangular concrete teleportation mage】

【Hahahahaha!】

【There really are so many talented people online! The brain holes are truly huge!】

Seeing that Ning Chen had no intention of stopping.

And worried he might get drowsy behind the wheel and have an accident.

So he sat in the passenger seat and chatted with him.

As for Zhang Xiao.

He had already fallen asleep under the watch of the bodyguard Shabi.

Wan He curiously sized up Ning Chen: "I feel like you have a lot of stories; if you get the chance, why not tell me about them?"

Ning Chen glanced at Wan He and said calmly: "Nothing much."

Wan He stretched and yawned to wake himself up a bit.

He had seen it long ago.

Ning Chen is a man of few words.

So Ning Chen doesn't talk much; he can understand that.

Or rather.

He himself doesn't need Ning Chen to say anything.

Right now, he just wants to take the words no one has listened to for so many years.

And say them out loud for others to hear as well.

After all, at certain moments.

The feeling of empathy.

Is what comforts people the most.

Wan He watched the headlights cut through the darkness, revealing the surroundings.

He said quietly, "Actually, I only ran away yesterday."

"That girl told me—chase the lightning. After that, I started running, running hard, running with all my might, until no one could catch me, until I could catch up with the lightning itself."

Wan He looked at Ning Chen again and smiled awkwardly, "Then I collapsed onto the ground, and that's when I met you. Although the process of getting on the car was a bit bumpy, I still want to thank you for letting me hitch a ride. I don't know where you're going, but for me, this unknown is the greatest freedom!"

"So you don't need to worry about my feelings. Just like you said, just drive to wherever you want to go. I'm just hitching a ride; I'll get off whenever I want to."

Ning Chen remained silent for a long while before speaking:

"Then let's go see it together."

"See what?" Wan He tilted his head, looking at him.

Ning Chen said, "To chase the lightning, to be faster than it, to surpass it."

Ning Chen's words caused an uproar in the live stream.

【Finally, we know where the next destination is!】

【Brother Shiguang is taking us to see the lightning!】

【The Meteorological Bureau! Where are the people from the Meteorological Bureau! Quickly check Brother Shiguang's direction, so we don't get hit by a massive rainstorm!】

【Chasing the lightning! How romantic!】

At the same time.

Everyone at the Meteorological Bureau was put on night shift and began investigating frantically.

They dared not slack off.

You see, he had accurately predicted the Perseid meteor shower, fireballs, and even foretold the alignment of nine planets!

Even the National Astronomical Observatory had been won over by this streamer.

Even now.
