Chapter 65: Taking You Flying

“Hey—” Little An caught up with Chen Fengshi and reached out to pull him, but he shook her off. She followed him quickly down the stairs, as Chen Fengshi was not in the mood to wait for the hospital elevator.

Little An wanted to say something to stop him, but talking about sensitive topics in the stairwell was obviously not a good idea.

The two of them went out of the hospital. Chen Fengshi’s motorcycle was right at the main entrance of the inpatient department, a motorcycle whose origin Little An did not know.

“If you really want to be efficient, this isn’t the way to force it, right? Take advantage of now to persuade the Mutual Aid Association, quickly confirm the accurate information about the power range of the target Fungal Demon, and have the Demon Extermination Association act together to quickly wipe out the Demon General…” Before Little An could finish her words, she saw Chen Fengshi walk straight over, get on the motorcycle, and was about to leave.

She had no choice but to get on, pointed the way, and said: “Change a car, change clothes. I suppose you wouldn’t lack even this little bit of rationality, right?”

Of course Chen Fengshi had it. He wanted to find out the truth for Juzi and give her an explanation! It was not to go commit suicide.

However, it seemed that not much of his rationality was left.

The speed of the car got faster and faster. Little An saw the width of the curve at the intersection and knew it was simply impossible at this speed, so she directly reached out to force the car to slow down.

The motorcycle swung past the intersection and rushed straight toward the curb. Crashing like this would definitely send them flying. In this thrilling moment, Chen Fengshi seemed to suddenly snap out of his crazed state. He quickly used the force of the swing to slam a foot hard on the ground. Instantly, the motorcycle was lifted off the ground, spinning rapidly in the air, spinning past the sidewalk, past the flowerbed…

Little An in the back seat originally thought Chen Fengshi would take the momentum to separate himself from the bike, avoiding the danger at the cost of rolling and falling to the ground. Who would have thought Chen Fengshi would use such a terrifying method as an emergency measure?

She couldn’t help but hug Chen Fengshi tightly. Following him, she was tossed in the air by the bike, spinning. That huge force seemed like it would throw them out at any moment, but Chen Fengshi clamped the bike body, very steady.

The motorcycle spun in the air, flying all the way onto the grass of the green belt. The rear wheel landed, and then the front wheel. The interval in between was quite long. They clearly felt two vibrations, which showed that Chen Fengshi’s emergency measure was rushed, and his estimation was a bit off.

The bike body was then bounced up again by the rear wheel, as if it would flip them over and stand almost straight up. Finally, under the effect of their shifting their center of gravity backward together, the lifted rear wheel landed again. After the vibration, it finally stopped steadily on the grass.

After the thrill, there was a deathly silence.

After a good while, Little An finally recovered from the heart-pounding shock.

She let out a long breath. When her tense nerves relaxed a little, she realized that both legs clamping the bike body were a bit weak.

At this time, Chen Fengshi also let out a breath and took off his helmet. Like her, his head and face were covered in sweat.

“How many times have you done this kind of thing? Using cool stunts for practical use is one thing, but using them as emergency measures?” Little An really couldn’t help but speak. A normal reaction when losing control at a curve from speeding would be to separate from the bike and roll away. Rolling and falling usually causes no major harm; at worst, with bad luck, it’s just a broken arm or leg. But Chen Fengshi’s way of using cool bike stunts as an emergency measure meant that failing would cost him his life nine times out of ten!

How risky was this?

“First time.” Chen Fengshi’s answer almost made Little An explode. But she didn’t lose her temper, because the anger rushed up her throat and then suddenly sank back down, finally turning into a helpless face that didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Knowing him—was just her bad luck!

“Like this, what do you think you can do?” Little An let out a long sigh, propped her hands on the ground, and sat on the grass. She thought Chen Fengshi should be calmer now.

Chen Fengshi also got off the bike, put the helmet aside, and sat there. After being silent for a while, he suddenly lowered his head, grabbed his hair wildly with both hands, and then held his head, just quietly staying lowered like that.

Yes, he was indeed not calm. He couldn’t even drive steadily on the road. Wasn’t this seeking death? This was simply venting!

Little An did not say words to comfort him. Quietness was the best comfort at this time, especially for Chen Fengshi’s personality. If he wanted to pour his heart out, he would have said it long ago.

After being quiet for a while, Chen Fengshi suddenly stood up and said: “You drive.”

“Still going?” Little An emphasized to make sure.

“Going!” Chen Fengshi’s original intention remained unchanged. He had to do things, not wait. The most important thing was, since these things had to be done anyway, and he had the ability to act earlier and alone, there was no need to wait. “In a while, I’ll first try to contact the three people in charge of the Mutual Aid Association. Juzi said the association has a self-made Map Program, which contains the range information of the Fungal Demon.”

This could only be used by certified members within the Mutual Aid Association, so at that time, Juzi only gave Chen Fengshi shareable information like district names and road names.

Little An felt he was much calmer, so she stood up and agreed: “Okay, I’ll drive.”

Just then, an auxiliary police officer riding a bicycle came over on the sidewalk and shouted at them angrily: “Riding a motorcycle in the middle of the night is one thing, but driving it onto the grass! Do you have any public decency? What is wrong with you guys?”

Chen Fengshi and Little An looked at each other, and could only sigh silently… They didn’t want to drive the bike onto the grass either…

However, they were too lazy to explain so much, and just waved their hands in response: “Sorry, we’re leaving right now.”

Little An said a bit unhappily: “Just saying we’re leaving is enough. It’s not like we did it on purpose. Why should we apologize?”

Chen Fengshi got on the motorcycle. Knowing she was very guarded, he grabbed the back of the bike and didn’t touch her waist at all. He said helplessly: “Whether it was on purpose or not, the bike is parked on the lawn, and driving it down will still crush a path of green grass. They are at least maintaining public order and have reason on their side. What’s wrong with apologizing? This is using action to encourage positive energy and inspire righteous behavior!”

“…It seems you’ve calmed down enough. How about you drive instead?” Although Little An didn’t say it, Chen Fengshi also knew what she was worried about, so he took the initiative to state: “Don’t worry, I was just teasing you yesterday. I won’t take advantage of you.”

“You better behave, otherwise—” Little An waved her fist and deliberately threatened: “—I’ll kill you!”

Hearing this, Chen Fengshi really wanted to laugh, but right now, he couldn’t laugh.

Little An’s motorcycle skills were originally very good. Seeing Chen Fengshi grabbing the back of the bike very properly, it also put her mind at ease. After driving out of the green belt, she drove all the way into the Shanglinyuan residential area. This was also a residential area with some history, similar to the Donglu Community.

With previous experience, Chen Fengshi guessed this was probably another Hidden Garage.

Sure enough, it was also a first-floor house with a widened back door opened. The difference was that a white Smart car was also parked outside the door on a privately paved parking space.

Chen Fengshi pushed the motorcycle through the large door behind the car. Inside, there were already four motorcycles parked, all Horizon series, just with different appearances.

Besides the motorcycles, there was also a car covered with a cloth parked inside.

Chen Fengshi asked curiously: “What car?”

“911.” Little An finished speaking, took a black riding suit from the cabinet, and threw it to Chen Fengshi, saying: “Try it and see if it fits.”

“Is it Little Huo’s again?” Chen Fengshi guessed the supplies in this garage were similar to the Donglu Community. But Little An said: “I had Canyue buy it for you during the day.”

“…Efficiency.” Chen Fengshi could only be convinced. Then he looked at the four Horizon motorcycles, but they all looked very new, and he couldn’t tell if any were newly added.

The two changed into their riding suits in adjacent rooms. Chen Fengshi used his phone to open the browser, searched for 911, saw the price, and strangely shouted to ask her: “A 911 is much more expensive than a Mustang. Why do you drive a Mustang every day when you have a 911 lying around?”

“My best friend’s family conditions are limited, and she can’t treat cars as toys. As a friend, of course I should consider her feelings.” Little An’s answer was unexpected. In Chen Fengshi’s impression of her, it was really hard to associate her with this kind of considerate image who thought of others.

Perhaps, Little An was the type who put special effort into the very few important people she truly opened up to, but was very indifferent to everyone else.

“Such a considerate image makes it quite hard to adapt. But—doesn’t your best friend know your family background?”

“How could I hide it?”

“Then she doesn’t ask?”

“She understands my intentions, so of course she doesn’t mention such things.” At this time, Little An came out after changing into her riding suit, examined herself in the mirror, and said: “If you like it, you can take this car and drive it.”

“Can’t afford the repairs.”

“Is repair cost the only thing in your head?” Little An really… had never met such a person.

“Can you practice driving skills without scrapes and collisions? I’m not that much of a genius anyway.”

“…That’s true.” Little An deeply agreed. Recalling it, it was probably because she had never considered or cared about such problems, so she ignored them.

In fact, there had indeed been some scrapes and collisions of varying degrees in the past. It was just that when encountering such situations, she would just make a phone call to have someone drive a replacement car over to handle it. She would toss the keys and documents, and drive away. “What car are you planning to buy for practice?”

“Wuling Hongguang.” Chen Fengshi didn’t think too hard about it. His plan was to buy a car where scrapes and repair costs wouldn’t hurt his heart, so there weren’t many choices in his mind. Plus, he had helped a relative drive this car a few times for a period, and he thought the car logo of this brand looked pretty nice. Moreover, they were on the road day and night, not eye-catching, and the key point was they were cheap.

Of course, he had also seen the memes about the divine car Hongguang.

“I also have a divine car Hongguang, specially used in the villa area at home, but it can’t go on the road.”

“Rich people are really different, buying one for collection just for a meme?”

“Once I saw pictures online of someone modifying a Hongguang into a convertible, and I thought it looked like fun.” Little An saw him come out after changing into his riding suit, asked him if he wanted to see the modified masterpiece, and then found the photos.

Chen Fengshi finally understood why this car couldn’t go on the road… Without a roof, the convertible actually looked quite pretty. The car’s paint had obviously been resprayed, the tires and hubs were replaced, the rearview mirror part was also modified with electric functions, and the interior and car seats seemed to be entirely replaced… Except for the car logo, where could you still see the original shadow of the Hongguang? It would be more appropriate to say this was a custom-made car.

“Can I ask how much the modification cost?”

“Over thirty bucks.”

Chen Fengshi suddenly felt that Little An’s way of being considerate to her best friend was really necessary. A car worth tens of thousands, spending over thirty bucks of paper bricks to modify it, with this kind of attitude treating it as a toy, how inferior would her best friend feel being stimulated?

Chen Fengshi pushed the motorcycle out, helped Little An push hers out too, and then got on, waiting for her to lock the garage door.

He was quite curious, exactly how many houses were serving as Hidden Garages like this?

After Little An locked the garage door and got on the motorcycle, she suggested: “I’ll call the President of the Mutual Aid Association and Qingfeng, and you contact Copper Coin. That woman is quite lustful and communicates better with men—the key is, she has all kinds of jealousy and hatred toward me.”
