Chapter 111: Motion Sickness in the Back Seat (Added Bookshelf to Prevent Losing Track of the Book)

But since Tian Li didn’t say anything, Shu Yue’s nature was not to pry. She simply glanced a few more times at Hua Tianyu, convinced that it was definitely his doing again!

When Shu Yue returned home, Lin Lin finally couldn’t hold back and asked, “What exactly happened last night?”

Hua Tianyu pondered for two seconds. “Last night? According to astronomical observations, a massive solar flare erupted on the surface of the sun!”

Lin Lin was speechless.

In her mind, she thought: I’m asking what happened between the two of you, not about solar flares. If there’s any scandal, there’s definitely scandal!

Suddenly, Hua Tianyu smiled brightly and asked Lin Lin, “Today, I’m giving you a chance to skip your biology tutoring session. Do you want to take it?”

Lin Lin smiled faintly. “No! You once told me that one must develop morally, intellectually, physically, aesthetically, and practically in all aspects. I can’t neglect biology!”

Hua Tianyu was speechless.

He could only think to himself: For today’s race, Tian Li definitely can’t sit behind me again. If I see this kind of embarrassing thing, it’s one thing, but if others see it, it won’t be appropriate.

If Tian Li won’t ride, then only Lin Lin is left.

It was 7:30 now. Lin Lin would go to tutoring, come back two hours later at 9:30, and the race was scheduled for 11:00. There was plenty of time.

Hua Tianyu pondered again for two seconds. “Alright, then go to tutoring now!”

Lin Lin smiled and went to get her books.

Hua Tianyu inexplicably wanted to exempt her from biology tutoring—there must be a catch. Whatever he intended, she simply refused.

As Lin Lin gathered her books and was about to leave, she paused.

She seemed to remember something, turned her face back with a look of grievance, and said, “Hua Tianyu, you’ve changed!”

Hua Tianyu was instantly confused. What do you mean I’ve changed?

“What have I changed?”

“You’re tricking me now. Today isn’t a day for biology tutoring!”

Lin Lin pouted, clearly displeased.

Hua Tianyu considered for two seconds. “To develop morally, intellectually, physically, aesthetically, and practically, you can’t skip biology! Today, there’s extra tutoring!”

Lin Lin said, “Hua Tianyu, you really have changed!”

Hua Tianyu replied, “Am I the kind of person who changes on a whim? My determination to have you study biology has never wavered!”

Lin Lin was speechless.

With Hua Tianyu’s diversion, Lin Lin didn’t go to Shu Yue for extra tutoring, but she also stopped pressing about last night.

But her silence didn’t mean the matter was settled. For this race, someone had to sit behind on the motorcycle—a rule Tian Li had long told Hua Tianyu.

“Lin Lin,” Hua Tianyu said in a low voice, “for the race later, you’ll replace Tian Li and sit behind me.”

Lin Lin was stunned and asked suspiciously, “Why? Won’t Tian Li ride herself?”

Hua Tianyu knew Lin Lin’s personality—there was no sidestepping this question.

He thought for twenty seconds. “The truth is—Tian Li gets motion sickness on the back seat; she threw up yesterday.”

“…Right, I got motion sickness yesterday and threw up badly!” Tian Li quickly took over the explanation, finally giving a plausible, not too embarrassing reason for what happened last night.

After all, Hua Tianyu’s excuse was quite handy!

Lin Lin eyed both of them doubtfully. She found it hard to believe that Tian Li, who often rode motorcycles, would suddenly get motion sickness on the back.

But judging from Tian Li’s behavior from last night to today, something definitely happened!

Thinking it over, she really couldn’t imagine what could have occurred on the motorcycle last night.

For now, she’d trust them.

Lin Lin nodded, agreeing to Hua Tianyu’s plan.

“Tian Ge, I also want to go to Central Avenue. Can you take me with you?” Since the motorcycle could only seat two, if Hua Tianyu took Lin Lin, Tian Li would be left behind.

But Tian Li was the star of today’s race; it was impossible for her not to show up.

Hua Tianyu thought for a moment. “Tian Li can ride her own motorcycle. I’ll drive to take Lin Lin over.”

“Yay! Thanks, Tian Ge!” Relieved, Tian Li returned to her usual self.

Hua Tianyu considered for two seconds. “Drive slowly on the way. Be careful not to get motion sickness.”

Tian Li was speechless.

Central Avenue.

Though it wasn’t yet 11 p.m., members of the motorcycle club were already gathering from all directions.

Many young people had also heard the news and came to watch the excitement.

Speed and adrenaline were inseparable companions to thrill-seeking youth.

The motorcycle club had long spread word of tonight’s race online.

As a result, many spectators had already arrived.

When Che Peiqing appeared on his 1000cc Yamaha, the crowd erupted.

All the motorcycles turned on their lights and began circling around Che Peiqing, the excited screams and roaring engines igniting the crowd’s adrenaline.

Seeing Che Peiqing appear, the two small-time bookies waiting nearby came out and greeted him.

Whenever there was a race in Shangjiang City, these people were almost always present.

Where there were races, there were winners and losers; where there were winners and losers, betting ensued; and where there was betting, bookies lurked—these figures were ubiquitous in the underworld.

Especially with the motorcycle club, who spent their days tearing up the streets, the bookies’ connections to them were unbroken.

Though tonight’s race was said to be insignificant, every little bit helped. In this day and age, earning a living was not easy.

Of course, at such events, larger bookies usually stayed away; only smaller players looking to make a quick buck showed up.

Che Peiqing greeted them one by one. He planned to place a bet on himself—winning the race and making money at the same time was an opportunity no fool would refuse.

However, he had to wait for the betting odds to be finalized before placing his wager.

The odds depended on Tian Li’s appearance and the motorcycle she’d use, so the bookies waited for her arrival.

Among the crowd, some who knew Che Peiqing shouted his name, while others approached him quietly, asking if he was confident tonight.

To them, Che Peiqing’s words were insider information, the basis for their bets.

In a short time, the message that Che Peiqing was sure to win spread through the crowd.

Of course, there were also more cautious people; after all, the opponent hadn’t appeared yet, and it was premature to make such conclusions.

They didn’t have to wait long. Tian Li arrived alone on a 600cc Jialing motorcycle.

Jia Wenle’s eyes brightened instantly. Tian Li was even more beautiful than before, and there was an indescribable aura about her.

But why was she alone? Wasn’t she supposed to be with a man? Had she been dumped?

“Lili, where’s your man?” Jia Wenle called out loudly.

Tian Li didn’t even look at him directly. She replied, “Call me Tian Li!”

“Is he scared?” Jia Wenle laughed heartily. He was one of those most concerned about tonight’s race outcome.
