Qin Yirou spoke and stretched her hand to take the black shopping bag from Yun Jian out of habit. Usually, Qin Yirou would check out the shopping bags Yun Jian came back with after shopping to see what clothes she had bought. Sometimes, she felt the fabric to see if it was of good quality and if it would last.
When the generation of parents had a tough time in their childhood, especially like Qin Yirou, she would feel the quality of the clothes to see how long they could last or if they would peel and whatnot when shopping was done—purely out of habit—even when they were better off now.
Hence, Qin Yirou assumed that Yun Jian had bought some clothes and instinctively wanted to take the bag and see the clothes inside when she saw her coming back with a big black shopping bag.
If this had been the usual, Yun Jian would give Qin Yirou the bag. However, this bag did not contain regular clothes! How could she show Qin Yirou the undergarment? How should she be explaining if Qin Yirou saw what was inside?
“Cough, mom, I promised Ge Xuan-ge to hang out just now. I’ll put my things upstairs first!” Yun Jian sprinted upstairs with the black shopping bag as she spoke.
“Why’s this girl running so fast? It’s not like I’m a plague to be avoided!” Qin Yirou chuckled fondly. It was obvious from her expression that her suspicion was not raised.
A while later, Yun Jian came back downstairs without the black shopping bag in sight. Naturally, Qin Yirou was not skeptical.
“Mom, I’m heading out,” Yun Jian said and left the house.
“Ay, be careful when you go out at night!” Qin Yirou called from the back.
The breeze at night was chilly. Yun Jian felt a gust of it blowing at her once she stepped out of the door. It did not seem too cold although she pulled her clothes around her.
…
Longmen City, Yuanbao Mountain.
Yuanbao Mountain was a mountain cliff racing spot in Longmen City. There were plenty of racetracks in Longmen City and Yuanbao Mountain was not exactly the best among them. Nevertheless, the place was the steepest mountain.
Countless racers picked Yuanbao Mountain to race because it was sufficiently steep and that pumped up adrenaline.
Despite its name, Yuanbao Mountain was not filled with valuable treasure but there was no doubt it was one of the steepest mountains in Longmen City.
Car racing was all about thrill, after all.
It was currently 7:30pm and the precipitous edge of Yuanbao Mountain was illuminated by bright lights. The venue for car racers had just come to life.
Ge Xuan was still rooted to his spot as he and his two friends checked if their race cars were fully equipped. The Maserati was freshly modified by Corinton. The purpose of Ge Xuan being here today to was test if the car was smooth to drive.
“Xuan, it’s going to be us next!” One of Ge Xuan’s two friends told him.
Ge Xuan had brought along three friends when he came home this time. One of them was Shen Jie who Yun Jian had landed him in the hospital while these other two guys were pretty decent.
“Mn.” Ge Xuan nodded and put on his helmet.
Just as he put it on, a group of delinquents who looked more thuggish than Ge Xuan surrounded the three of them. The leading hooligan had a scar on his face which added an additional sense of savage.
“You guys are?” Ge Xuan asked with a furrow of brows.
