It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains?

Xu Shi was wearing a helmet and ignored her shouts, "Hold on!"

As he was speaking, he lowered the car's body and drifted, and changed direction at the last second before the collision.

Actually, his superb driving skills were one of his few specialties. Probably since he was sixteen, he discovered that he had an inexplicable passion for this kind of flesh-and-iron vehicle, and he couldn't stop from then on.

His collection of various motorcycles is a good reflection of this. In comparison, he finds four-wheeled vehicles such as sports cars and executive cars to be average. He only bought a few for daily use and to show off his wealth.

He is a person who loves to play and knows how to play. At least, apart from other things, his high skills in this area are quite explosive in the entire Night City motorcycle circle.

Such extreme operations are just commonplace for him.

But it was obvious that Gu Yi knew nothing about this. After a while, she just dared to close her eyes tightly.

At first, he just held the side armrests with his hands, but in the end, he hugged Xu Shi's waist tightly.

"Huh...huh..."

When she got off the car, Miss Black Rabbit's calves felt a little weak. In the end, Xu Shi helped her a few times and she was able to stand still.

"You, you, you...can't you drive slower..."

Her voice began to tremble, and when she took off her helmet, her face was covered in cold sweat.

"Where are you going?"

Xu Shi laughed, took a bottle of water and threw it to her, "What's the point of racing if you're slow... Are you scared, little black rabbit?"

"Who's scared?!"

Gu Yi stiffened his neck and said, "I'm not scared, I'm fine... cough cough!"

She was choked before she could finish her words, which vividly demonstrated what it means to be stubborn.

In fact, the way she felt now was not much different from when Xu Shi came to her house and planted a bomb on her.

Xu Shi couldn't help laughing. How could I not know whether she was scared or not? To be honest, he was already taking care of a newbie. If he really used some advanced techniques, he couldn't even imagine what Miss Black Rabbit would become.

"Do you feel better?"

he asked, leaning against the car.

"……hold head high."

Gu Yi was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

After her mood completely calmed down, she found that she was no longer afraid. When she recalled it, all that was left was excitement, and her previous depression was swept away.

——Although it’s not as big a scene as before, it can be considered as a serious participation, right?

Or rather, like everyone else, leaving a part of herself in Xu Shi's memory of tonight, this is what she was looking forward to.

The more Miss Black Rabbit thought about it, the happier she became, and she even laughed out loud. At least for her, the emptiness she felt tonight was filled.

But now she looked different - she couldn't wear the same dress she had worn before when she went out racing, so Xu Shi lent her one of his motorcycle suits.

It was a little bit ill-fitting, and at first glance it was very similar to the feeling she gave Xu Shi when they first met, but it was not so messy, and it had a more youthful and lively feel.

Xu Shi felt it was pleasing to the eye.

The same is true for Gu Yi - to be honest, in her eyes, the bastard Xu in a motorcycle suit is not as sinister as his usual appearance in a suit and tie, but much purer.

This guy is really handsome... Thinking about his bold actions just now, Miss Black Rabbit felt a little shy and blushed a little.

She didn't even realize that the awkward feeling she once felt about Xu Shi having a villain's face disappeared at some point.

"Want to go for another round? Or go home?"

Her face was already red, so Xu Shi didn't notice it too much. He just reminded her as if he remembered something, "By the way, you are not allowed to tell Su Lin about this. If she knew, I would be annoyed to death."

This is true. Although Director Su has always obeyed her young master's orders, she has always maintained a strong opposition attitude on this matter.

The main reason is that I'm afraid something might happen to him. What should I do if something bad happens... Xu Shi could understand Su Lin's motherly mentality, but it was also unbearable to be caught and nagged by her.

"Oh?"

Gu Yi blinked, then looked at him with a sly smile, "Mr. Xu, you don't want Sister Su to know that you're racing in the middle of the night, right?"

"Almost got it."

Xu Shi rolled his eyes at her and said, "I brought you out to play because I saw that you were in a bad mood... Can you please have some conscience?"

"Tsk, you were the one who said it, I didn't mention it."

Miss Black Rabbit's eyes flashed cunningly, "Well, if you don't want me to tell others... you can teach me how to drive in the future, okay?"

In fact, she wouldn't tell it. In her opinion, this was also the first little secret between her and Xu Shijian, and she didn't want others to know.

"Want to learn?"

"OK."

Gu Yi nodded hurriedly. She was still very interested in exciting things.

At least next time I come out, I won’t be so embarrassed.

"How about letting me ride back now?"

"Come on, I haven't lived long enough."

"Don't underestimate me! I set the record for the mountain road extreme race in "Shenlin"..."

Gu Yi muttered in retort, but her stomach suddenly rumbled as she spoke.

"Goo-"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 96 Dare you say you are not jealous, little black rabbit?

On the way home, Gu Yi kept her face red and her head down.

Thinking back to the scene where she had just managed to hold herself together but her stomach suddenly started growling, and then she was mocked by Xu Shi, Miss Black Rabbit just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

But she was really hungry, and the drinks and snacks at the party were not enough to fill her up... In fact, Xu Shi was even hungrier than her. He had been busy all night and didn't even have time to drink a sip of water. He felt like he was going to have hypoglycemia.

So when they got home, they had two large bags of fried skewers and a few beers as midnight snacks.

“This is awesome!”

Gu Yi, who volunteered to treat the guests, excitedly introduced, "When I lived in Sin City before, I secretly went to District 13... I ate it once and thought it was delicious. After that, I went there every now and then to buy a lot of it."

"Are you really not afraid of being caught?"

Hearing her say this, Xu Shi was a little surprised. How brave is it to take such a risk for this matter?

"The Inspection Bureau can't catch me."

Miss Black Rabbit grumbled as she unwrapped the package and handed over a bunch of them. "Try this, it's their signature... um, I don't know if you're used to it..."

As she spoke, she began to feel a little unsure again.

How should I put it? This thing is a good friend of the insomniac working people in Night City, and it is even more delicious for her who was born in Sin City.

But who is Xu Shi? A director of a consortium standing at the top of Night City... In his eyes, would this kind of thing be no different from garbage?

When she thought of this, Gu Yi felt really disappointed.

Fortunately, her worries were unnecessary. After all, Xu Shi was different from others. If he hadn't eaten it in this life, he might have eaten it in his previous life... He really didn't care about these things.

I even have a feeling of nostalgia. In my previous life, I ate fried skewers and drank beer, which was also a great experience during my student life.

"If you don't eat it, I'll make it all."

As he opened a can of beer, he made a joke.

"...Leave some for me. Aren't you afraid of getting diarrhea if you eat all by yourself?"

Gu Yi heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this, and returned to her usual state of playing and joking with him.

The two of them had this midnight snack in a completely unmannered manner - they leaned on the sofa, chatting and laughing, and didn't care at all that the wine spilled on the floor. They didn't even bother to pay attention to dining etiquette, they really didn't know anything about it.

"I never thought that Xu Bastard, the eldest son of the consortium, would also like this."

After two or three beers, Miss Black Rabbit started to talk. "A lot of times, you really are different from what I think."

She was really surprised. It was normal that she couldn't get used to all those red tapes, but she didn't expect Xu Shi to be so humble.

This undoubtedly made her feel more favorable towards Xu Shi.

"You are good enough."

Xu Shi didn't care what she called him, "I seem to have only a little courage, but the things I do are more exaggerated than the last."

He saw clearly that Gu Yi looked arrogant, but in fact, he would be scared if he was really scared. However, he played with half of Yecheng with this mentality... What should he call this, a weakling with a strong addiction? It didn't seem appropriate.

"I'm not a coward."

Miss Black Rabbit snorted, "I'm the one who makes people bow their heads under the eaves... How about hanging a bomb around your neck? You are such a bad guy."

It sounded like a complaint, but when they said this, the two of them smiled at each other and clinked their beer cans in a toast.

As they ate and talked, Gu Yi's face gradually turned red. "Hey, do you want to know why I chose to be an electronic kidnapper?"

"You go on." Xu Shi blinked and continued speaking without interrupting her.

“…Because I just want everyone to notice me.”

Gu Yi's tone suddenly became serious. "It was about five or six years ago. At that time, I was still living with my mother. My family didn't have much money, but we lived quite happily."

"Seeing that I have a talent for computers, my mom saved up money to buy me one, and told me to work hard and leave Sin City to work in Night City."

"But then she got sick, without any signs... I emptied my house but couldn't raise enough money for the surgery... I had no choice but to borrow from every household, but don't you think it's weird? It was like I was invisible. No one in the neighborhood paid any attention to me, and they didn't even want to talk to me."

"What else could I do in the end... I couldn't keep my mother. I remember it very clearly. It was a rainy day and I couldn't even leave the house. I could only sit beside her and cry."

"I don't hate those people, and it's not their fault for not helping me... But since then I've been thinking, it doesn't matter whether they are good or bad, but I must let others know that there is a person named Gu Yi in the Night Sin City, and he is very powerful!"

"It's good to be an electronic kidnapper. When I show up, those people are scared to death, and they can't catch me... But I fell into your hands. Tell me, do you hate it?"

She was so absorbed in what she was saying that her expression was unrecognizable, but she was not even aware that the beer next to her had spilled onto the ground.

"So do you think I'm annoying or not?"

Xu Shi smiled faintly. He actually knew these things, as they were mentioned in the original plot.

It was supposed to be a scene where she and Shen He opened their hearts to each other, but she became the protagonist instead.

So he didn't stop her and just listened quietly to Gu Yi telling everything.

"At first I thought you were a big asshole... but then I started to think you were okay."

Miss Black Rabbit paused, "You have indeed changed me a lot... I never thought that one day I would be able to be the head of a consortium and fulfill my mother's wish for me."

"Now that I think about it, I feel like I should say thank you... The key is that you are actually quite my type. To be honest, I don't hate what you did tonight at all. On the contrary, I think you are pretty handsome, Xu the bastard."

"It's not easy to hear such words from you."

Xu Shi joked.

"This is all true."

Gu Yi pouted, "You're not happy when I praise you... By the way, how about we just become brothers?"

"Uh-huh?!"

Xu Shi didn't react for a moment. What kind of pig talk are you talking about? How many dishes did you drink to make you drink like this?

"I'm serious, I treat you as a brother!"

Gu Yi patted the floor and said, "Let's do bad things together in the future, how about that?"

As she spoke, she moved closer and stared at Xu Shi with drunken eyes, asking him to express his opinion.

"……OK."

Xu Shi thought about it and nodded seriously, "But have you ever heard a saying?"

"Hey?"

"Good brother, but I need a quilt."

Xu Shi smiled, took Miss Black Rabbit into his arms, buried his head in her shoulder and whispered, "You might as well be honest... The reason you feel upset today is not just because you haven't done anything bad, right?"

"I……"
