[DayTheEngagementWasBroken] Chapter 28.1 — Even If He Died, She Wouldn’t Care

He Ran left the He building in a daze, feeling extremely upset. He took out his phone and found out that some bastard had spread the news that the He and Gou families would have a parting dinner tomorrow.

The group chat, which had finally been quiet for a while since this morning, started to flood the screen with +99 again.

He took a quick look and found that this group of guys with no vision were all @Zhou Yanji, saying that the fight he got into last night was not in vain and it seemed to have accelerated his progress to the top.

There was a lot of laughter in the group.

Only a few brothers who were close to him and knew that Young Master He was the one wagging his tail pitifully and was actually reluctant to leave this relationship didn’t say a word at this moment. The rest of the passers-by basically didn’t realize how sad He Ran was. Everyone’s tone was so happy, as if there was some great joyful event happening.

He Ran was really fucking done with these bastards. At the same time, he also wanted to pee and take a photo of himself¹. He usually presented himself as a rubbish and unfaithful man in front of everyone.

Seeing Zhou Yanji’s name being tagged so much, making his presence felt, he thought to himself that this guy hasn’t even gotten to the top yet—he couldn’t be allowed to be so arrogant.

He found Zhou Yanji’s private chat.

[HRAN: That time in Endless Night, you weren’t the one who brought her out.]

Zhou Yanji responded with a […] and after a while sent, [“You and Gou An seemed to have a good relationship at that time, so I thought it wouldn’t be my turn.”]

He Ran received a critical hit again.

[HRAN: Do you want to drink?]

[ANCESTOR ZHOU YAN: ?? Still drinking?]

[ANCESTOR ZHOU YAN: No drinking, baby. The doctor said that although there is no serious injury, I still need to go to the hospital to change the dressing for the abrasions. No alcohol for me for the next few days, thanks.]

[HRAN: If you hadn’t been so nasty yesterday and took the opportunity to confess your feelings, would I beat you up?]

[ANCESTOR ZHOU YAN: You are more seriously injured than me, right, ge?]

[HRAN: Yes, yes, I am seriously hurt both physically and mentally, so now can we celebrate my fucking return to being single and your upcoming promotion?]

[ANCESTOR ZHOU YAN: Stop talking, I think you’re going to cry.]

[HRAN: Fuck you!]

… …

After cursing for a while, they both returned to the group chat for a discussion and everyone decided to meet at the 7 hairpin bends of Qinmo Mountain to celebrate in a manly way the demise of Master He’s marriage, which had died without even having begun.

He Ran went home to steal back the confiscated motorcycle keys. He was rummaging through the study and didn’t even notice that there was an extra person at the study door.

The man who was supposed to be in the company at this time was leaning against the door with a cigarette in his mouth, squinting slightly to look at the head half sticking out from behind the desk.

“What are you looking for?”

He Ran lowered his head and muttered, “Where are my bike keys? Where did young uncle put them?” Then he realized something was wrong and raised his head with a start. He saw the man at the door staring at him expressionlessly.

He Ran: “…”

“You’re in a bad mood, so you want to go racing?”

He Ran: “…”

“I thought the first question in the advanced driving test was, ‘When Xiao Ming is in a bad mood, he always goes for a ride on his motorcycle to relax,’ and you have to judge whether it was right or wrong.”

Lesson number one in safe motorcycle riding: don’t ride with your emotions.

He Jinxing walked into the study, opened the drawer, and touched something in a corner that He Ran had checked a thousand times just now. Under the speechless gaze of his nephew, he opened the secret compartment inside the drawer, took out the key to a Kawasaki H2 and threw it on the table.

“Yima Racetrack.” He Jinxing put out his cigarette, “Let’s go.”

He Ran’s bachelor celebration inexplicably changed from mountain racing to a gathering at the Yima Racetrack, one of the three famous racetracks in Jiangcheng. The news spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and finally, somehow, it turned into a lively feast.

Relevant and irrelevant people all came, including several riders from other clubs. Some popular riders even came with their own cheerleaders.

The stands were packed with people, as if some great event was about to unfold.

“What the fuck,” He Ran was speechless, staring at all these people, “Will there be awards and champagne presentation later?”

Zhou Yanji, who was also bruised and battered, wanted to laugh so hard that he doubled over. He didn’t dare to show much expression because of the wound on his face. He patted He Ran on the shoulder and said, “Then you try to get first place and you can open a bottle of champagne, that would symbolize your celebration.”

“Then can we use funeral music as the background music? Does anyone else still remember that this is a farewell ceremony for my broken engagement??”

He Ran was cursing and was about to push his H2 out on the track. When he looked up, he saw Gou An, the little sister from the Zhou family, Tang Xinjiu, and several other rich girls slowly taking their seats in the stands not far away.

He couldn’t be unaffected now.

As soon as he saw her, his brain stopped functioning. He couldn’t make any expression at the moment and could only ask the person next to him rather blankly, “Why is she here?”

Gou Xun was here with them, too. He became nervous when he heard Gou An’s name, fearing that Gou An would complain to Jiang Yuan about him being here.

“The news has spread everywhere. The Yima Racetrack is now like a mid-year parade.” Zhou Yanji waved his phone at He Ran. “There are also several riders from other clubs. Ye ge told us to either ride well or take off our club’s logo from our racing suits to avoid embarrassing him.”

He Ran: “…”

He Ran’s head was buzzing. At this moment, a bigger thunder came.

From the corner of his eye, he saw a man dressed all in black—from his helmet to his leather racing suit to his riding boots—pushing a Yamaha R1M in from the other entrance.

The guy was extremely tall, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. It was obvious that his clothes were custom-made to fit him, but there was no club logo on them. The only notable thing was that the slim leather jacket made his butt look very perky.

You may not know the person, but you cannot not know the bike.

He Ran, however, was very sure that he has never seen this R1M in Jiangcheng before. This ride had been completely converted into a racing motorbike. The rearview mirrors were removed, the spoiler was changed, it had hot-melt tires, and a customized royal blue print. It was insanely cool.

The man was pushing the liter-class motorbike as easily as if he was pushing a Yadi e-bike. He suddenly turned around. He looked towards He Ran and raised his chin at him.

Is this guy provoking me?

Young Master He, who was already in a bad mood today, frowned and was about to ask aggressively what the man wanted to do, but the man took off his gloves and pushed the visor of his motorcycle helmet up.

A familiar voice came. “What’s the plan?”

Looking at the familiar pair of eyes behind the racing helmet, He Ran’s mind went blank for three seconds and he was almost scared to death.

“— Young Uncle?!”

“Mm.”

He Jinxing casually threw the gloves onto the seat of his motorbike and said, “It seems a little unreliable to just watch from the stands, so I thought I’d better run a few laps with you guys.”

Not just He Ran, everyone else present, such as Zhou Yanji, Gou Xun, and others, were all stunned.

This elder-level figure appeared too suddenly, and now they were all a little confused about what to do next…

Could he even ride a motorbike?

What if the young uncle of the He family drove on the track at a speed of 50mph? Would they also need to slow down and ride behind him?

Ah!! But there were so many people watching in the stands!

… …

In the stands, Gou An sat in her seat and was openly distracted.

Until Zhou Yutong who was sitting beside her suddenly draped herself around her neck and started shaking her, shouting excitedly, “Oh my god! An’an, look at the guy in black, his butt is so perky! Help! His figure is ten thousand times better than my gege‘s!”

Gou An’s neck was almost broken from all the shaking, not to mention her back was still hurting. She quickly peeled off the excited and blushing girl hanging on her neck and looked in the direction Zhou Yutong pointed—

The rider in black with the perky butt just happened to look over here.

The Yima Racetrack was not an international standard racetrack. It had a small launching area and the stands were not far from the track at all.

It could be estimated that Zhou Yutong’s voice had been too loud earlier and was heard by him. Unfortunately, when he looked over, both of them were looking at him. Gou An immediately looked at Zhou Yutong beside her.

It’s her, it’s her, it’s her! I swear it has nothing to do with me, I’m not staring at anyone’s butt!

She got very busy digging the ground with her toes awkwardly.

The fat cat in her mind yawned and meowed——

[Jiao Jiao: I have to say, the male lead has a really good figure.]

Gou An was bewildered: Male lead? Where did the male lead come from?

[Jiao Jiao: The one who stared at you in silence five seconds ago, the one with the perky butt.]

Gou An: ……

Gou An was so shocked that her eyes were wide open. Her sleepiness disappeared completely.

She could hardly control her voice and asked in surprise, “Is that He Jinxing?!”
