At that moment, the number of fans in the livestream skyrocketed. News of the high-speed train confession chase topped the charts on all major websites.

Xia Liang's fame reached an even higher peak. Deep down, everyone harbored a romantic impulse. It was just that personalities and limited finances made small surprises the norm. That didn't mean people didn't crave a thrill.

Such a high-profile and shockingly audacious stunt combined elements like motorcycles, speed, and public confessions—all things that get the blood pumping. It was a true visual feast.

Unfortunately, after a chase of just over a minute, the high-speed train ascended onto an elevated bridge. This short but unprecedented battle for love finally came to a close.

At the end of the road, Xia Liang executed a sharp drift, bringing the Black Knight to a steady halt. He removed his helmet and smiled.

"Satisfied? I bet the carriages on that train are going absolutely wild right now."

The young man's eyes were red with excitement. "It's not just the train, bro! The whole internet is talking about you now. You were already insanely popular, and now you're on a whole other level!"

"It's nothing, as long as the passenger is happy."

DING! Congratulations to the Host for completing the mission. Reward: 100,000 mu of land in the Qingyun Suburb. Work Points: 40.

With the reward secured, Xia Liang nodded in satisfaction.

"Bro, my girlfriend sent a message. She said to thank you for your help and that we'll treat you to a meal when you're in Shangjing."

The young man got off the Black Knight and gave a deep, formal bow. Xia Liang was in a genuinely good mood, having just earned 100,000 mu of land and 40 Work Points for free.

"No problem. I'll definitely take you up on that meal. Get in touch when I have a chance to go to Shangjing."

"You got it, bro! You're a good man. Be careful on the road."

Xia Liang put on his helmet and sped away.

During this, Uncle Yun called to confirm if the person chasing the high-speed train was indeed him. Upon confirmation, he promptly stopped his subordinates who were about to make an arrest.

It's just a bit of speeding, after all. He didn't break anything. Nothing to see here, nothing to see here.

In the evening, not yet having completed his ten orders for the day, Xia Liang found a place to eat before planning to get back to work.

"Boss, the bill, please."

There was no response. The roadside stall was doing good business, but the owner and many of the customers were glued to a TV screen.

Xia Liang glanced over, curious what program could make the boss forget about collecting money. On the screen were dazzling lights and a brilliant stage. A stunningly beautiful girl in an elaborate pink dress stood center stage, holding a microphone. Passionate music filled the air, accompanied by the deafening applause and cheers of the live audience. It was a concert.

As the show neared its end, the MC intercepted the girl.

"The roaring applause proves how much everyone loves Tian Yuanyuan! Miss Tian, I heard you were accepted into Imperial Capital University with top scores. This might mean you won't be able to hold concerts for a while. Could you say a few words to your fans?"

"Of course," Tian Yuanyuan said with a sweet smile, the camera zooming in for a close-up. "Hello, everyone here tonight! I'm so happy and grateful for your applause. I'll keep working hard not to disappoint any of you."

The MC chuckled. "Miss Tian, you have such a way with words. I also heard that today is your seventeenth birthday. Do you have any special birthday wishes you'd like to make?"

Tian Yuanyuan was prepared for such questions. "I hope that everyone can live happily every day."

The MC wasn't surprised; it was the expected answer.

"But," Tian Yuanyuan added, playfully sticking out her tongue, "I do have a little wish of my own. I hope I can meet Black Flash. I heard that whoever gets a ride in his car will have one wish come true."

Trouble! Assistant Xiao K gasped in dismay backstage. My lady, you're so brilliant, how could you make such a rookie mistake? The second you say that, the whole world is going to think you have a crush on Xia Liang!

Xia Liang, watching the drama unfold from his table at the roadside stall, was rather amused.

"This girl's hilarious. She's a huge star and she still wants to catch a rideshare."

As soon as the words left his mouth, the assembled fanboys shot him hateful glares.

"Hey! Who the hell is this idiot, badmouthing my goddess!"

"What's wrong with being a rideshare driver? Black Flash is the pride of Qingyun City! You from out of town or something?"

"Don't waste your breath on this moron. Goddess Yuanyuan is just curious about the great Xia Liang. Besides, who with a pulse wouldn't want to ride in the legend's car?"

"Keep watching, keep watching! She probably won't hold many concerts after she starts university. We have to appreciate every moment."

Xia Liang was speechless. Are these what they call die-hard fans? And celebrities don't normally take rideshares anyway.

Resigned, Xia Liang walked over to the owner to scan the payment code. "Bro, who is this girl? She seems pretty famous."

Xia Liang was wearing glasses, and the owner's attention was mostly fixed on the TV, so he didn't recognize him.

"You mean there are people who still don't know Tian Yuanyuan?" the owner asked incredulously. "She became an overnight sensation at thirteen with an original song that blew up online. After that, her fame just skyrocketed. Now, forget the Dragon Country, she has tons of fans all over Azure Star. Can't be helped, right? She's beautiful, she's cute, and her voice is like it can cleanse your soul. Who wouldn't love her?"

Now Xia Liang had a better picture. So she got famous back in junior high?

"Thanks, boss. Oh, by the way, you forgot the quail eggs in my spicy hot pot. Remember to give me two extra next time."

Xia Liang gave the boss a wink, then prepared to take a post-meal stroll. Just then, his phone buzzed with a notification.

"Real-time ride request: From the side gate of Feihua Sports Stadium to the Rolling Stone Bar. Please accept the order if you do not wish to decline."

Ice River Sports Stadium? Isn't that where the concert is? The nearby rideshares must all be swamped; they're probably even calling for motorcycle taxis.

Ice River Sports Stadium was located in the southwest of Qingyun City. It had been built to the standards of the Five Rings Sports Meet and could easily seat tens of thousands of people. So, after a concert, the area outside was always gridlocked. The crowd was buzzing with excitement, mostly chattering about Tian Yuanyuan.

The pickup location was at the side gate, and it was just as swarming with people.

"DING. You have arrived at the pickup location. The passenger is expected to arrive within two minutes."

Looking at the destination, Xia Liang sighed. Girls these days really have it good. Go to a concert, then head to a bar to party. A world away from my old life of just hauling bricks day in and day out.

"Hello? I'm the passenger with the last four digits 2121. Are you my driver?"

A woman in a tight-fitting red jersey approached, her body toned and curvy. Her long hair was tied back in a high ponytail, and she wore a baseball cap.

She's a feisty-looking one. Xia Liang nodded. "Yep. Going to the Rolling Stone Bar, right? I'm... Tian—MMPH!"

Before he could finish his sentence, Tian Yuanyuan clapped a hand over his mouth, making a shushing gesture. She glanced around nervously, only sighing in relief when she saw that no one had noticed them.

"Sorry about that. I snuck out. If my fans or my assistant find me, they'll drag me to the celebration party."

Xia Liang rolled his eyes to show he understood. Who would've thought? Out of the tens of thousands of people at Ice River Sports Stadium, my ride would be the star of the show herself. The odds are just incredible.

"Got it. Since you don't want to be found, we should get going," Xia Liang said. "It's my first day driving a motorcycle taxi, so I don't have a spare helmet. You can use mine."

With that, he took off his helmet and handed it to her.

Tian Yuanyuan felt a bit helpless. What kind of rideshare driver is this? So unprepared. Talk about unprofessional.

But as she took the helmet and her eyes drifted up to his face, she gasped. "Black—MMPH!"

What goes around comes around; karma spares no one. This time, it was Xia Liang's turn to cover her mouth as he scanned their surroundings.

"Black what? Don't just start screaming in the dark! This is a one-time ride. I drop you off, and we're done."

After letting go of Tian Yuanyuan, he took a moment to appreciate the feeling on his hand. Surprisingly soft.

"It's really you! Wow! I hit the jackpot!" Tian Yuanyuan exclaimed, circling the Black Knight several times, her eyes sparkling like tiny, excited stars. She had made that wish on a whim at the concert, never dreaming the Goddess of Luck would actually smile upon her.

"I've heard the urban legend about you," she said, her voice full of awe. "They say that anyone who gets to ride in your vehicle can have a wish come true. Is it real?"
