On the ring road in Bushen Village that connected several mountains along the mountain range, there were slopes of varying heights and an uneven stone mud road where a group of boys around eleven or twelve and a few girls aged eight or nine gathered.
They had stopped their bicycles at this spot, marked by a red flag, where the finish line was near the estate, covering a distance of roughly one kilometer. Although it didn't seem far, their bicycles were modified, making winning the race quite challenging!
"Hahaha, let's see who wins the race!"
Tang Shunyan was nearly 11 years old and, during this summer vacation, he was playing with his young friends for the last time.
Because in two months, he would go to the academy in Capital City for his studies.
Perhaps some of his friends would join him, like his cousin Tang Xiyue, who was just a few months older than him.
They had always been study partners and playmates.
