Chapitre 102: Chapter 102

"Ready!"

Wei's friend spoke, waving the white handkerchief he was holding. He walks between the two cars, hearing how noisy Wei's car is.

The man behind the wheels kept his gaze towards Meixiu, who had her gaze fixated on someone.

Wei followed her gaze, landing towards Xiaohui, who also gazed towards Meixiu behind the tinted glass. He couldn't help the growing anger inside him.

"Get set."

The man in the middle of the two cars said. The right vehicle, which was Wei's, roars, almost as if it's ready to break.

The man walked at the side of Meixiu again, his hand quickly dropping the handkerchief down.

"Go!"

Wei quickly stepped on the accelerator hard; his car was at speed. The people around cheered as his car ran past them.

Meixiu, on the other hand, when she heard the "go" signal, turned off the car. As she counted 5 seconds inside her head, she quickly opened it and stepped on the accelerator.

Her right hand is on the steering while the other lies on her right leg. She reached 60 in just 3 seconds, reaching Wei's car in no time.

The man who felt like he won already couldn't help but grin upon not seeing Meixiu's car behind. Until he reached the middle of where they'd turn around, he saw Meixiu's car tailing behind.

He felt angry, causing him to go a little faster than he could handle. The noses of the two cars were not that far, yet Wei felt cocky again.

He looks at the side mirror before raising his hands and giving the woman behind the wheels a middle finger.

"Fuck your wife-AHHH!"

He yelled when Meixiu ran past him. He quickly retrieved his hands, his eyes tearing as he slowed down the speeding car with his tears falling from his cheeks.

"Meixiu! You garbage!"

He cried. He looks at the statement of his middle finger; it's bent outwards. His cries for pain louden as he slowly approaches the front of the restaurant yet again.

The people around look at him in confusion as Meixiu approaches her wife with a tight embrace. They gather around the car of Wei, seeing the man in a poor state.

They gossip around him, saying bad things.

"What the hell happened?"

"So cocky, he deserves to get his car burned."

"Damn, Meixiu is spitting saliva at people."

The friend who held the handkerchief opened the door. Wei, who was leaning on the door, suddenly fell on the cemented floor, causing his head to get injured.

"What happened?"

His friend asks, eyes widening before helping Wei to sit up straight before a shout suddenly escapes his mouth.

"What happened to your finger!?"

He asks, his hands going over his mouth. Wei's shock suddenly fades away; he quickly stands up from the car, looking towards where Meixiu is.

The woman in question?

As soon as Meixiu finished the race, the people around were quiet. She quickly parked the car where it was earlier and walked out to be greeted by Xiaohui's hug.

"Why would you agree to that?"

Xiaohui couldn't help but feel worried towards Meixiu. The taller woman was shocked when Xiaohui suddenly threw herself towards her; she never expected to see this side of Xiaohui.

Heck, in front of people as well.

Meixiu couldn't help the smile escaping her lips, her eyes glancing slightly towards Tao, who held a teasing smile before she returned the hug by wrapping her arms around Xiaohui's small figure.

"I'm so sorry, baby; he's been annoying your whole night."

"I don't care about those types of people, Meixiu. Please remember that."

Xiaohui whispered that even if she already realized what she had done, she still hadn't broken up the hug. The warmth Meixiu gives is comforting.

She was melting slowly, and all she wanted to do was lay on the bed with Meixiu beside her, arms around her small figure as they slept peacefully.

She didn't mind the eyes around them, the judgment she'd receive from the jealous girls, and the daggers thrown towards them by some random classmates who've taken a liking towards Xiaohui.

Their moment was interrupted when Meixiu was pulled away from Xiaohui. Wei pulled Meixiu away and raised the hand that the woman injured.

Xiaohui gasped when she saw how bent it looked. The taller woman, who looks slightly towards her wife before looking back at the man in front of her, raises an eyebrow as Wei shows his hands.

"What?"

Wei couldn't help but lay a punch towards Meixiu. The action causes his friend, who followed him, to hold him down while Xiaohui and Tao walk towards Meixiu to help her.

"Are you alright?"

Xiaohui asks, her eyes scanning for any injuries, yet she doesn't seem to look beaten. Tao helps Meixiu stand straight, his eyes glaring towards Wei, who looks like he can kill Meixiu any time now.

"You fucker! You bent my fingers!"

Wei yelled, his eyes bawling in tears as he wails in pain. Meixiu looks back toward Wei after consulting Xiaohui.

"Is it my fault that you decided to throw me off and I happened to speed up to catch up?"

Meixiu reasoned out. The man wails until there are no tears left. His face was red from embarrassment before he quickly went back to his car. But before he could drive off, he was stopped by their former classmates.

"Where are you going?"

Half an hour later, Wei stands in front of his car full of fireworks. His eyes were blank as the people behind him cheered upon seeing a good fight between him and Meixiu.

His friends continue to tease him by congratulating him, which results in Wei almost punching one of his friends. As he pulled towards the restaurant's parking lot, he received a lot of praise from other people.

He received a lot of criticism earlier when trying to leave the premises. Heck, his face was red as a tomato before finally going back to the restaurant's premises.

And when he went back, he received tons of praise. Saying he's not afraid, he can buy another car, and he's true to his words.

All he can do is smile painfully, nodding in approval. But they didn't know it would take him exactly 5 years to buy another one.

He saved 2 years of his salary, bought the car using loans, and kept paying until recently when he finally finished the debt.

But now, looking at his hard work only to be put into ashes, there are fireworks inside the luxurious car.

"Alright, let's give it up for Wei!"

The supposed goodbye as soon as they stepped out of the restaurant's door turned into an afterparty with enjoyable entertainment by Meixiu and Wei.

The supposed goodbye with a luxurious car was crushed by Wei when he invited the known pathological liar to a race because of a woman.

When he's supposed to enjoy the luxurious benefits behind the wheels, the supposed pull of girls on the street is crushed because of the stupid bet he made.

Xiaohui's not even worthy of his car!

He couldn't help but feel his anger rising yet again. His hand balled into a fist, looking at the couple on the other side of the parking lot, looking happy as they both talked with Tao.

"Alright! Light it up in 3..."

Meixiu's smile irritated Wei, seeing how she looked happy and did not mind the people around her.

"2..."

Wei's feelings continue to bubble up in his chest. His injured finger does not bother him anymore, as anger takes up his body.

"1!"

One of the men in the crowd behind Wei went up to his car threw the match that he lit up and ran back to where he was.

The people cheered as Wei's eyes became teary seeing his hard work flaming. His emotions were mixing—the anger, the pain, and the jealousy seeing the couple.
