Many young couples were strolling by the lake. Seeing this, they reflexively pulled out their phones to record.
Xia Liang put his back into it and yanked the handlebars. The front wheel of the Black Knight lifted off the ground. He aimed for a sit-up bench, then suddenly accelerated.
WHOOSH—
A sound like something tearing through the air whistled past the onlookers' ears, but the sound alone was nothing compared to the sight that followed.
Before their eyes, the Black Knight soared high into the sky, tracing a beautiful arc above the artificial lake.
"The legendary Wuhu takeoff?"
"Holy crap! I'm speechless!"
"What's up with Qingyun lately? There are so many pros with insane driving skills!"
"He jumped the lake! Is this a stunt show?"
"Honey, stop eating and look! Look at that guy!"
The Black Knight's leap over the artificial lake was recorded in its entirety. A few onlookers flying drones quickly redirected them to give chase.
BANG—
After the stunning leap, the Black Knight landed, albeit not perfectly smooth. It was Xia Liang's first time trying such a stunt, so he lacked experience. The young man on the back, however, was shaken so violently he almost threw up last night's dinner.
"Br-bro, you're insane!"
"Hahaha! Fun, right? It was my first time trying that. Pretty thrilling."
The young man was on the verge of tears. He's never tried it before and he dares to gamble with a passenger's life? Talk about being recklessly overconfident!
SCREECH—
With a squeal of tires, the Black Knight shot out from the park's northeastern greenbelt and onto the highway. A section of the road was under construction, leaving it completely empty of traffic.
The young man pointed to the rear of the high-speed train up ahead to their right. "The high-speed train! It's accelerating!"
"Sigh, bro, thanks anyway, even though I missed it... Holy shit! Bro, what are you doing?!"
"What am I doing? Chasing the high-speed train!"
Xia Liang gunned the engine, pressing his body down low as the Black Knight's speed soared.
140...
190...
230...
The young man felt the streetscape blurring past him. The powerful headwind forced his eyes shut. It was Xia Liang's first time taking a motorcycle taxi fare, and he'd forgotten a spare helmet.
But none of that mattered. The only thing that did was the rear of the high-speed train, growing ever closer. Both were accelerating, and it was a race to see who would come out on top.
「Meanwhile, on the high-speed train.」
"Are you hungry? It'll be a while before we get to Imperial Capital. How about we go to the dining car? My treat."
The shameless man pulled out his wallet, purposely showing off a thick stack of banknotes.
"Thank you, but I'm not hungry."
The girl shook her head. My luck is the worst, she thought. Ever since she sat down, the guy's mouth hadn't stopped moving. He just kept babbling on and on without even taking a sip of water. How can he have so much to say?
"You're still thinking about him, aren't you?" the meddlesome man asked, deciding to test the waters.
"I'm not trying to be harsh, but you have to understand what Shangjing University is. It's a gathering place for geniuses. Geniuses belong with other geniuses. He just doesn't fit in."
The girl pretended not to hear, pulling out her phone to call her boyfriend, though she had no idea what to say. He was supposed to go to a top university but ended up at New Oriental instead. And here I am, admitted to Imperial Capital University... Maybe this isn't a good time to call.
"Am I seeing things, or is there a motorcycle flying close to the ground out there?"
The passengers on the left side of the car grew restless, their amazed exclamations unending. Curious, the girl looked out the window too.
She saw a black motorcycle speeding by at a terrifying velocity.
It was racing side-by-side with the high-speed train! Witnessing such a rare sight, the younger passengers on the train quickly started their live streams. One of them thought, This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! As soon as people online see this, I'm definitely going to get some views!
Suddenly, another wave of astonishment rippled through the car.
The passenger on the back of the black motorcycle took something out and tied it to his arm. There was no need to find a good angle; the strong wind instantly unfurled the banner, pulling it taut.
On the yellow banner, a message was clearly handwritten in large, black words.
"Tingting! Wait for me to marry you!"
WHOA—
The passengers were instantly captivated by the incredibly romantic gesture. They all started looking around, trying to find the girl named Tingting. Wow, a boyfriend chasing a high-speed train just to confess his love. This has to be one of the top five romantic moments of the year.
Her phone rang. Tingting covered her mouth, her eyes already welling with tears as she answered.
On the back of the Black Knight, the young man was doing his best to speak clearly, but the roaring wind snatched his words away. Even if he could be heard, the phone's microphone only picked up static. By now, however, the passengers had already realized who the luckiest woman on the train was.
The onlookers, living for the drama, all flocked closer to her seat.
"Miss, your boyfriend is one hell of a show-off!"
"Put him on speaker, miss! Let us feel the love too!"
"I really want to be jealous, but honestly, I'm just so moved."
"What kind of love makes someone chase a high-speed train just to confess?"
Tingting wiped away her tears of joy and shakily pressed the speakerphone button.
But all that came through was the howling of the wind.
"...Black... Flash... helping... wait... marry you... child..."
The voice was intermittent, with only a few words making it through.
Even so, the onlookers understood the gist of it.
The live-stream chat exploded as well.
"I thought Qingyun was just producing pros left and right. I can't believe it's the Black Flash!"
"The pro isn't driving his BMW anymore? He switched to being a motorcycle taxi?"
"Are you stupid? That's not a motorcycle taxi, that's the Black Knight! There are only three in the whole world!"
"Sob, sob... I'm so moved! Why don't I have a boyfriend like that? Why can't I ever get an order accepted by a pro like him!"
"Chasing the high-speed train at over 300 km/h to confess, damn! That's just outrageous!"
"May all lovers in the world become siblings—ah, no, sorry, my keyboard's auto-correct is acting up. I mean, may they live happily ever after! And I hope the pro has a safe ride!"
