ABHL 04

Chapter – 04

His figure was tall and upright, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. Beneath the black racing suit, the outline of his firm chest muscles could vaguely be seen, his body lines smooth and sharp.

The lights of the racetrack shone on his face. It was an extraordinarily handsome face, with sharply defined features as if carved by a sculptor. His handsomeness was bold and striking.

The contours of his face were cut clearly by light and shadow, giving him a vivid yet almost unreal presence.

Although everyone wore the same racing suit, on him it carried an extra hint of wild, unruly charm.

Ye Yue’er leaned toward her ear and whispered, “Yiyi, this is a top-tier handsome guy, right? Not exaggerated at all.”

Hearing her voice, Chu Yihan came back to her senses, shifted her gaze away, and nodded. “He really is handsome.”

Ye Yue’er widened her eyes at that evaluation. “For that to come from your mouth, that’s a very high compliment.”

Usually, the highest praise she had ever heard Chu Yihan give anyone was just the words “not bad.” No one had ever made her say “very handsome.”

Chu Yihan’s gaze fell once again on the man who stood out like a crane among chickens at the racetrack. “That’s just a fact. His looks speak for themselves.”

Chapter 3: A Little Heart Flutter

With the sound signaling the start of the race—

Five race cars started at the same time. The roar of engines filled the air as the cars sped down the track like wild horses breaking free from their reins, or arrows shot from a bow toward the distance.

Watching the thrilling race, Ye Yue’er exclaimed, “Jiang Yu’s Bugatti is way too cool.”

A boy nearby overheard and enthusiastically explained to them, “That’s the Bugatti La Voiture Noire. There’s only one in the world.”

“It’s equipped with an 8.0-liter quad-turbo W16 engine, with a maximum output of 1,479 horsepower. It can go from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.3 seconds. The power is insane.”

“This is the dream car of us men.”

While explaining, the boy didn’t forget to take photos of the car on the track.

“Do you know what this car’s market price is?” he asked, then answered himself. “130 million yuan.”

“But now it’s worth far more than that. After Jiang Yu bought it, he modified it. Modified cars are basically money-burning projects for rich players.”

Even someone like Chu Yihan, who came from a wealthy family and never lacked money, couldn’t help but gasp at the price.

She would absolutely never spend over a hundred million just to buy a car.

Her eyes kept following that black Bugatti.

The race entered its most intense phase. The spectators suddenly erupted with excitement, cheering and screaming as if injected with adrenaline.

“Jiang Yu!”

“Jiang Yu! Speed up! Overtake!”

“God Yu! Go!”

“Jiang Yu!”

Everyone was shouting his name passionately.

Chu Yihan was also infected by the atmosphere. Her hands, resting on her legs, unconsciously clenched. She also hoped he would win.

When the black Bugatti reached a curve, it suddenly accelerated, instantly releasing the car’s full potential. The wheels spun at high speed and the roar of the engine echoed across the entire track.

With a beautiful and stable drifting turn, he easily left the other cars behind.

When the black sports car reached the finish line, the venue erupted in cheers.

“I knew Jiang Yu would definitely win.”

“For him, this probably wasn’t even challenging.”

“Of course. He was obviously holding back earlier.”

As the cars stopped on the track, the tension in Chu Yihan’s heart also eased. She felt like she had finally understood the joy of watching a racing competition.

When the engine roars entered her ears at close range, when the racing cars sped past like gusts of wind, the exhaustion from work seemed to vanish instantly.

“This is way too exciting! I’m getting a membership later,” Ye Yue’er said excitedly. “Next time there’s a race here, we’re coming again.”

“Jiang Yu is seriously handsome. No wonder so many female spectators come for him. Who wouldn’t be dazzled seeing him?”

“Guys admire his racing skills, girls are obsessed with his devastatingly handsome face. You could say he appeals to both men and women!”

Only after Jiang Yu left the track did Chu Yihan shift her gaze. She softly said, “Yue’er… I think I might be a little moved.”

“What?!” Ye Yue’er froze in shock, her jaw practically dropping. “Did you just fall in love with Jiang Yu at first sight?”

Chu Yihan lowered her head and murmured, “I think so.”

The moment she saw him, something unreal seemed to take physical form. Her heart skipped a beat.

She had always known she was the type to fall in love at first sight. She didn’t believe in love that developed over time. If she didn’t like someone at first glance, she simply didn’t like them.

Spending time together might create family-like affection or friendship, but not love.

To her, love was a bit like cholera—like a sudden illness. It struck instantly. If there was no spark at first sight, then even after ten thousand years together, that spark would never appear.

At most, one might feel touched. But being touched and being attracted were completely unrelated things.

Ye Yue’er took a few seconds to recover from her surprise. This news shocked her.

They had known each other since high school. They went abroad for university together. Although they attended different universities, their campuses were close. They rented an apartment outside campus together and saw each other every day.

She had seen many boys ask Chu Yihan for her contact information. Some had even come to her to ask about it.

But Chu Yihan rejected them all. She had never shown any sign of being attracted to anyone.

Slowly calming down, Ye Yue’er gave her advice. “If you like him, go after him. With your conditions, you can definitely win Jiang Yu over.”

“Unless he’s blind. Then that’s another story.”

With her Yiyi’s stunning and dazzling beauty, winning Jiang Yu over shouldn’t be a problem.

Chu Yihan shook her head and said indifferently, “I won’t chase him.”

“Hm?” Ye Yue’er looked confused.

“Men aren’t won by chasing them. They’re won by attraction.” She wouldn’t rush into a confession, nor would she act overly reserved. Being open, confident, and her true self was the most beautiful way to be.

Ye Yue’er suddenly understood, as if enlightened. “Yiyi, I didn’t expect that—you really know what you’re doing.”
