Who is it? Who is speaking?
Who is mocking me?
Dizzy, Xin Yu couldn't open her eyes. In this cool autumn night, it felt like the dead of winter; her heart was cold, cold.
"Get away!" Xin Yu wanted to shout, but only a hoarse voice came out, "Take your filthy hands off me..."
What to do? What to do?
Xin Yu's body stiffened, and the strings of her mind suddenly tightened.
The person's hand gently brushed her face, the fingertips long and slightly cool, then across her neck, collarbone, and up her slender waist.
"Tsk tsk, such tender skin, such a good figure."
She tried to raise her hand to grasp the person's, but when the power of reason reached her hand, it was only soft and yielding.
"Getting horny?"
"..." Xin Yu couldn't react. With a sliver of reason, she reached for her phone.
Bang! It was kicked away by the person.
Why? Who had she offended? Or… Liu Shuihan?
No, she didn't know him at all!
Lost in thought, Xin Yu felt the presence beside her vanish, followed by the sound of a door being locked from the inside, and the sound of water running in the bathroom…
"Mu Yichuan, save me…" Xin Yu murmured, but all she heard was the dark night.
It seemed like only a short while later, Xin Yu felt a pull on her waist, as if someone had tied a rope around her. Oh my god!
"Let's play some SM."
SM…
Xin Yu froze, her heart stopping.
At that moment, she was terrified!
In her panic, Xin Yu felt her body slip and be pulled several meters.
Then, a swaying and dizziness washed over her, and she felt a chill, which brought her back to her senses. Why did she feel like she was suspended in mid-air?
Then she was carried and shoved into a car…! A cool, damp towel was placed on Xin Yu's face. The night breeze seeped through the car window, and the towel made Xin Yu even more lucid. Finally, she regained some strength and pulled the towel off!
Then she stared in shock at the person in the driver's seat…
"That expression of yours, are you regretting it? Never been touched by a man?"
"…" Mu Yi'ai!
Was that her?!
Xin Yu looked around. They seemed to be speeding along a winding mountain road!
She had transported her from the Liu family?!
"What are you doing!"
"Little girl, why do you always sound so accusatory every time I see you?" Mu Yi'ai tossed her head arrogantly. "How old are you?"
"I'm asking you, what did you do to me!" Xin Yu wanted nothing more than to jump out of the car.
"What did I do?" Mu Yi'ai rested her arm on the steering wheel, propping her chin up, seemingly deep in thought. "I touched you, I tied you up, how was it? Enjoyed it?"
"..." Xin Yu looked at her delicate features, yet they exuded rebellious arrogance. "Stop the car, I want to get out!"
"Get out?" Mu Yi'ai chuckled. "Dream on."
Xin Yu weighed her options, knowing Mu Yi'ai wouldn't let her go. Even if she did, she was alone, penniless, without even a phone... she probably wouldn't even be able to find her way.
She could only let Mu Yi'ai drive, following her, waiting for another opportunity.
"How did you get to the Liu family?" This winding mountain road seemed endless.
"I sneaked there," Mu Yi'ai replied frankly.
"You came to find me?"
"Yes—I saved you." Mu Yi'ai slammed on the gas, the car speeding away. Xin Yu felt dizzy again, her stomach churning.
"How do you plan to repay me?"
Saving her? Repaying her?
Xin Yu gripped the handrail tightly, suppressing the urge to vomit. Her dizziness at the Liu family's house was indeed suspicious? Was it a setup to frame her?
Screech—a series of ear-piercing brake screech rang out, sparks flying from the road!
Ignoring her surroundings, Xin Yu pushed open the car door, her legs gave way, and she collapsed to the floor, vomiting…
She felt she had emptied her stomach before she regained her senses. Slowly, she stood up, leaning on the car, only to hear Mu Yi'ai's cool voice, "With your small frame, how can you possibly repay me?"
Xin Yu's face paled. She stared coldly at Mu Yi'ai, "Repay you? How did you repay me last time?"
Mu Yi'ai took a step forward, standing in front of Xin Yu, lifting her chin with her slender hand, and said fiercely, "Repay you?"
They stared at each other intently…
"Ha, you don't have that right!"
Hearing these arrogant words, seeing Mu Yi'ai's haughty face, Xin Yu slapped Mu Yi'ai's hand away, "You have even less right to ask me!"
Buzz buzz buzz…
A cell phone rang. Seeing Mu Yi'ai answer the phone without hesitation, Xin Yu's tone softened slightly.
"Hello, Nan Yu… I'm in Nan City…"
Nan Yu? No wonder! Xin Yu's dark eyes darted around. She leaned against the car and moved closer to Mu Yi'ai, shouting at the top of her lungs, "Nan Yu, Mu Yi'ai has tied me up! Help me..."
Thump!
Mu Yi'ai kicked Xin Yu in the thigh, and she fell shakily to the ground.
"Nan Yu, Mu Yi'ai has tied me up! Help me!" Xin Yu kept shouting. She didn't really trust Nan Yu, but she trusted Mu Yi'ai's integrity even less!
Smack!
Mu Yi'ai smashed her phone and stomped on Xin Yu's stomach. "Ha, vixen! White lotus!"
"..." Xin Yu lay helplessly on the ground, unable to explain why she had cursed like that.
"Last time you lied to me and said you didn't know Nan Yu, but at the crucial moment you called him to save you!"
Did she have a choice? If she did, she desperately wanted it to be Mu Yichuan calling!
Mu Yichuan? She actually... missed him so much! "I knew you were up to no good after what happened at the Fifth Club!"
"..." Xin Yu thought sadly, was this a modern-day version of the farmer and the snake?
"Too bad." Mu Yi'ai clicked her tongue mockingly, "Nan Yu is far away in the capital, how can he save you?"
"You'd better not do anything rash, or I'll tell— um..." Before Mu Yichuan's name could be uttered, Xin Yu felt a dull pain in her stomach.
Instinctively, she bent her leg and kicked Mu Yi'ai. The latter seemed unprepared, staggered from Xin Yu's kick, and grabbed the car with one hand. The two, one lying down and one standing, exchanged blows...
Xin Yu was already weak, and in a disadvantageous position, she gradually couldn't withstand Mu Yi'ai's attacks.
"Eighth Sister, what are you doing?" Suddenly a rough voice rang out, followed by a series of braking sounds, and the voices of women and men discussing the situation.
"Damn it, I'll spare you for now, lest you ruin my reputation, Mu Ba's reputation." Mu Yi'ai pulled her foot back, still holding onto the car. She had just been beaten by Old Master Mu, and her whole body was still sore…
"Eighth Sister, who's this?" A rough voice drew closer. "Beautiful women always have handsome men with them in races. Eighth Sister is truly unique!"
"Yeah, what's so special about handsome men?" Mu Yi'ai said disdainfully. "I like beautiful women even more than you do!"
Xin Yu was lifted up by Mu Yi'ai. "Come on, look, isn't she pretty? Whoever wins the race today, I'll give her to them!"
"Mu Yi'ai, you're a pervert!" Xin Yu glared at her fiercely, trying to break free from her grip.
"Whether I'm a pervert or not, you'll find out soon enough!" With that, she forcefully shoved Xin Yu into the car.
Xin Yu leaned back in the seat, panting, her mind racing. She had to find a way to get away from Mu Yi'ai, otherwise, who knew if she might really be going crazy! Spotting water in the car, Xin Yu, while Mu Yi'ai was still yelling at the people outside, grabbed a bottle, gulped down half of it, and then poured the remaining half over her head.
Her body and spirit simultaneously invigorated…
When Mu Yi'ai sat in the driver's seat and saw the soaking wet Xin Yu, she was startled.
She looked at her in surprise, but a mocking smile still lingered on her lips. "You think you can escape like this?"
Xin Yu didn't answer, but simply observed the situation by the light from outside.
"If you escape today, I, Mu Ba, will retire from the racing world!" Mu Yi'ai shouted arrogantly, her voice filled with unparalleled arrogance.
"You're too arrogant!" Xin Yu replied calmly. "Don't forget, extremes meet!"
"Heh," Mu Yi'ai glanced at Xin Yu, then started the car and drove to the starting line. "Do you think I'll lose on the first lap, or at the finish line?"
"…" Xin Yu turned to look at her right. The cars next to her didn't appear to be luxury models on the surface, but their modified interiors were probably outrageously luxurious.
A flippant whistle rang out, and the man on her right nodded at Xin Yu.
She quickly turned to look at Mu Yi'ai's side, but the man in the car on her left was staring straight ahead, and… wearing a mask.
A mask? Wearing a mask in modern society? Seems mysterious.
Xin Yu stared intently at the man. Whether it was from staring for too long or for some other reason, she felt a faint, yet undeniable, familiarity about him. "As expected," Mu Yi'ai stepped aside to block Xin Yu, enunciating each word clearly, "Never been touched by a man before, so since you've taken a liking to him…"
As she spoke, she rolled down the car window and shouted to the man on her left, "My beauty has taken a liking to you! You'll have to win later!"
The man, however, remained unmoved, not even turning his head an inch…
"…" Xin Yu regained her composure, gazing resolutely into the distance. Mu Yi'ai wasn't qualified to "deal with" her.
But the race had only just begun when Xin Yu realized she had underestimated Mu Yi'ai's abilities. The car sped off even faster than before, circling down the mountain…
Her stomach churned again. Xin Yu gripped the handrail tightly, looking at the darkening night. She decided that when they reached the foot of the mountain, she would jump out of the car if she had to.
"Now I'm in first place, aren't you sad?" Mu Yi'ai's driving skills were superb, her cat-like eyes seemingly tinged with excitement, glowing red.
"Slow down, I feel like throwing up…" Xin Yu couldn't hold back any longer and had to reveal her current physical condition. "Are you feeling nauseous, or are you thinking about that handsome guy from earlier?" she mocked, then burst into laughter. "Don't worry, for Nan Yu's sake, I'll give you to that handsome guy too!"
"...Mu Yi'ai!" Xin Yu rubbed her stomach hard. "I'm Mu Yichuan's woman!"
"Haha!" Mu Yi'ai seemed to be deliberately toying with Xin Yu, driving fast and slow intermittently, making the latter feel like she was on a rollercoaster. "Mu Yichuan's woman?"
"Yes!"
Mu Yi'ai slammed on the brakes—
She stopped by the roadside, staring at Xin Yu with a chilling gaze…
