Chapter 109: This Time, It’s Awkward (Added to Bookshelf to Avoid Losing Track)

Jia Wenle? Hua Tianyu committed that name to memory.

On the day of the race, if this Jia Wenle was sensible, Hua Tianyu wouldn’t do anything. But if Jia Wenle dared to make any sneaky moves or proved to be foolish, Hua Tianyu wouldn’t mind giving him a lesson or two.

“How about Che Peiqing, the leader of the Che Chi Gang?” Hua Tianyu asked.

“According to Lily, Che Peiqing has some principles when it comes to business, but he’s extremely particular about his face. This time she came out, the Che Chi Gang kept a close eye on her, partly because they couldn’t let Che Peiqing lose face. Of course, another part of it was because Jia Wenle has been constantly provoking them!” Lily explained.

Che Chi Gang? Che Peiqing…

What Lin Lin said made Hua Tianyu ponder deeply.

He already had a preliminary plan for the 2 billion investment in the Swan Group, but there were still some missing elements in it.

Now, the appearance of the Che Chi Gang just happened to fill that gap to some extent.

From Lin Lin’s description, he formed a rough impression of the Che Chi Gang—they operated with some boundaries. Since that was the case, Hua Tianyu wouldn’t mind trying to bring them into his fold.

If he could organize these people according to his plan, he would have a better chance of securing the 2 billion deal for the Swan Group.

Tian Li returned quickly with the tools and watched as Hua Tianyu dismantled her windshield and rear wing.

Tian Li pouted, looking at Hua Tianyu with a face full of grievance but remained silent.

Within minutes, Hua Tianyu finished the removal, patted the seat, and swung his leg over the motorcycle.

“Hop on!” he said, putting on his helmet and addressing Tian Li.

Seeing Tian Li dawdling, Hua Tianyu chuckled and said, “I’ll count to three. If you’re not on by then, tomorrow I’ll take Lin Lin to the race instead!”

“No sooner had he said ‘one’ than Tian Li jumped onto the motorcycle, wrapping her arms around Hua Tianyu from behind and sinking her teeth playfully into his neck.”

After biting him, she finally smiled with satisfaction, feeling utterly delighted.

Hua Tianyu knew this little girl was venting her frustration because he had dismantled her beloved modifications, so he didn’t bother to respond.

Once she put on her helmet, Hua Tianyu twisted the throttle with his right hand, and the domestically made Jialing motorcycle roared to life, swiftly disappearing with the two of them.

Hua Tianyu took Tian Li to tour Central First Street, the venue for tomorrow’s race, getting familiar with the motorcycle’s handling.

Racing is not just about vehicle performance; it’s more about the rider’s skill.

Otherwise, if it were just about horsepower and performance specs, manufacturers could settle rankings without any races.

So Hua Tianyu wanted to familiarize himself with the bike’s controls. As for the difference between 600cc and 1000cc engines, he honestly didn’t mind much.

An hour later, Lin Lin saw Hua Tianyu and Tian Li return to the room.

Hua Tianyu seemed normal, but Tian Li was different.

Her face was flushed red, and she avoided Lin Lin’s gaze. Once back, she immediately went into her room without acknowledging Lin Lin’s greetings.

Hmm? Lin Lin grew suspicious. Did they really just go for a motorcycle ride? Or did they do something she usually wouldn’t allow?

“Hua Tianyu, what did you two do out there?” Lin Lin asked, watching him carefully.

“We just took a lap around the race venue on the motorcycle,” Hua Tianyu replied.

“Anything else?” Lin Lin pressed, not convinced by his denial.

“It was less than an hour, and with the venue far away, what else could we have done?” Hua Tianyu smiled and answered.

“Then why is Tian Li’s face so red?” Lin Lin didn’t give up.

“Red face? Haha, what are you imagining? You underestimate me too much—turning the Three-Hour King into the Three-Second Guy! I’m quite offended!” Hua Tianyu made a mock-outraged expression, sighed at Lin Lin, and went into his bedroom.

“Three-Hour King?”

Lin Lin suddenly recalled a certain night when inexplicable noises echoed from Tian Li’s room for a long time. Her face flushed instantly.

That Hua Tianyu was always teasing Tian Li. If he really didn’t do anything today, then why was Tian Li’s face so red?

Such a mystery!

Oh, whatever—she didn’t want to ask Tian Li anyway. After all, these two were like Zhou Yu and Huang Gai—one willing to strike, the other willing to take it.

Lin Lin gave up her curiosity and went to her own room.

Behind her door, Tian Li, who had been listening nervously, finally exhaled in relief. Luckily, Hua Tianyu hadn’t betrayed her by revealing her embarrassing secret.

Thinking back, Tian Li blushed all over again.

She had always loved speed, believing the faster the better, for the thrill only intensified with velocity.

Sitting behind Hua Tianyu on the motorcycle just now, the sensation was unprecedented; she was so excited her body trembled slightly.

When Hua Tianyu leaned the bike sharply through a curve at high speed, Tian Li clung tightly to him, and the thrill reached its peak.

At the height of such excitement, some people’s muscles lose control, and Tian Li was exactly that kind of person.

Because she suddenly realized her pants were wet…

What an awkward predicament!

On the back seat, Tian Li’s face burned with shame, yet she dared not mention it to Hua Tianyu, enduring it all the way home, the fabric of her pants chilling against her skin.

Hurriedly dismounting, she said nothing, her face still flushed, hoping to slip inside unnoticed under the cover of darkness.

Then Hua Tianyu’s words nearly broke her down.

He took off his jacket and said, “It’s raining. Wrap this around your waist.”

Raining, wrap around…

She immediately understood Hua Tianyu knew everything but chose to remain silent.

When she took his jacket and saw the part that had pressed against her was wet too, she finally realized how Hua Tianyu had discovered her secret.

At that moment, Tian Li wished she could disappear into the earth; it was utterly humiliating!

How could she ever face Hua Tianyu again?

She had been the one to insist on sitting behind him before—now she had lost all her pride!

Finally back in her room, she slipped inside as quickly as possible and sighed in relief.

Just as she began to relax, she overheard the conversation between Lin Lin and Hua Tianyu through the door. Not wanting to embarrass herself further in front of Lin Lin, Tian Li pressed herself against the door, nervously listening.

Only after Hua Tianyu returned to his room did she finally relax and lie back on her bed.

Thank goodness! Thank goodness!

Hua Tianyu hadn’t told Lin Lin her embarrassing secret—it was their little secret now.

But a new dilemma arose—

For tomorrow’s wagered race, would she still dare to ride behind Hua Tianyu?

Tian Li found herself deep in hesitation…
