Chapter 490: Chapter 490: Treating the Race Car like Going for a Joyride
Gu Shiting chose a deep blue sports car, Sheng Tang could sit in the driver’s seat.
The bamboo spirit murmured next to them, "Why doesn’t the sister drive herself? Sitting in the passenger seat is very dangerous, especially when racing."
"It’s okay, we’re not really racing," Gu Shiyan replied.
She chose a different car for herself.
Song Chen followed behind her, picking a white one.
Sheng Tang sat next to Gu Shiting and said to him, "We don’t have to win against your sister; let’s just drive leisurely."
As they exited the club, there were four tracks, one of which wound around the mountain and then came back down.
The other three tracks were already occupied, and they could hear the engine noises in the distance, along with the chatter of men and women, and the heavy metal music from the cars.
Gu Shiting fastened his seatbelt, and his sister had already taken off quickly, driving at high speed; Song Chen hurriedly followed behind her, the white car was like a blur, soon getting close to Gu Shiyan’s car.
Only Sheng Tang and Gu Shiting took their time.
As the car got onto the track, Gu Shiting heard the distant sounds.
His eyes casually swept over, and he saw about seven or eight cars coming back on the second track. In every car’s passenger seat, there was a petite woman, and the cheers were coming from them.
"It’s very noisy," Gu Shiting muttered, speeding up.
His car was not slow, but they had already lost sight of his sister and Song Chen.
The drive was relatively smooth, with no professional guardrails on the sides of the track, just some random markers indicating where the track was, guiding the car along the path.
Gu Shiting talked to Sheng Tang, "Let’s just treat this as a leisure drive. Are you cold?"
"Not cold." Sheng Tang replied.
Sheng Tang rarely engaged in such thrilling races. Her past life, described nicely as orderly, but unpleasantly as dull and monotonous.
She dared not touch any addictive habits; smoking and drinking if she could avoid she would, let alone anything else. She feared the pain of quitting, and feared even more taking a wrong step and falling into an abyss.
She had no home, only herself. If she got injured by mistake, there would be nowhere for recovery.
Mountain road racing was extremely novel to her.
The wind blowing in was cool and refreshing, carrying the scent of soil and the fragrance of trees, making her feel carefree and relaxed.
As their car reached this point, their track and the second track had a parallel junction.
The left side of the second track was steep, while their side had a small path.
A bright red sports car, at the curve, lost control slightly, veering straight onto their track at high speed.
Seeing this, Sheng Tang’s heart shrank into a tight knot.
She grasped the handle next to her tightly.
Gu Shiting quickly responded, swerving the car to the small path, the red sports car narrowly grazed his car’s tail.
The speed of his car was fast, along the stone path downward, leading to a temple.
The temple seemed abandoned, doors closed and secluded among green shades, further down was a lake.
The lake appeared quite large, extending to the edge of the view.
"Turning back isn’t easy," Gu Shiting said, "Let’s see if there’s another road to take back up."
Sheng Tang agreed.
She showed no anxiety or anger, also calming Gu Shiting’s mood.
"Good thing we didn’t get hit," Gu Shiting was also secretly relieved.
His sister was really unreliable, what else to play, why racing?
However, following this path downward, after quite a while, they still couldn’t find the way back.
They finally found a place to turn around, but the car suddenly stalled.
Gu Shiting tried to start it again, as difficult as climbing the sky.
"...My sister chose what kind of place, and what kind of car is this?" He finally couldn’t help but complain.
