Not much damage, maximum insult

After the tires were replaced, Ye Xiao called the police, who soon arrived to investigate and handle the matter.

Since most of Ye Xiao's motorcycle tires were specially made and only certain manufacturers could produce them, the police quickly followed the trail using the information he provided.

They successfully tracked down the bastard running the illegal casino. Ye Xiao wasted no time landing several solid punches on him, while Ye Xunzhi sneakily delivered a dirty kick to the man's groin.

That one kick outdid everything her fifth brother had done.

As the eldest brother, Ye Yunhuai looked utterly grim when he received the news.

As the person involved, Ye Xiao originally still had quite a few procedures to go through at the police station, but he told his eldest brother that he had a bet to settle tonight and had to get there.

Ye Yunhuai, furious and speechless, kicked him twice in the butt and booted him out of the station, telling him to take good care of his sister and that he would handle the rest.

By the time they left the station, it was already dark.

Men were always pretty slapdash about looking after children-the main thing was keeping them alive.

After casually feeding Ye Xunzhi a meal of KFC, Ye Xiao rode his beloved little motorcycle off toward the winding mountain road at breakneck speed, remembering to call in a babysitter before leaving.

He even tidied the entire house for the occasion, hiding everything that shouldn't have been there.

"Then I'm leaving the rest to you, bro." Ye Xiao patted Yu Yuan's shoulder trustingly, then turned to Ye Xunzhi.

"Little sis, this is our dorm's all-purpose mom friend. If anything's on your mind, you can talk to him."

Yu-the-babysitter-Yuan couldn't smile. "...Brother Xiao, our friendship's wearing thin, huh? You're not even pretending in front of me anymore."

Ye Xunzhi: Every boys' dorm has its own mom friend.

With everything settled, Ye Xiao left in high spirits. Once he was gone, Yu Yuan shut the door, speechless.

Easy for him to say. Yu Yuan hadn't spent much time with girls either. Still, after their time together that morning, he felt Ye Xunzhi was actually a very well-behaved kid.

It probably wouldn't be a big problem!

Yu Yuan clutched the three hundred yuan that had been stuffed into his pocket and turned back to smile at Ye Xunzhi.

"Little Sister Little Xun, want your big brother here to play games with you?"

Ye Xunzhi put on an obedient smile. "Brother Yu, I don't want to play games. Why don't we go watch my brother race?"

"We can't do that." Yu Yuan gave her a disapproving look and made up an excuse.

"Look, last time Brother Xiao wasn't home, criminals broke in. We have to stay here and watch the house for him."

Ye Xunzhi nodded understandingly. Just then, the villa's doorbell rang, and her smile widened a little.

"Brother Yu, I ordered delivery. Could you get it for me?"

"Sure thing."

Yu Yuan simply assumed the little girl hadn't eaten enough dinner and had ordered delivery to fill her stomach, so he didn't think much of it. But the moment he opened the door, he was hit with a tremendous visual shock.

Outside stood a fierce-looking delivery rider with an azure dragon tattoo on his left and a white tiger on his right, a knife scar on his face, and a yellow bunny helmet on his head.

How to put it? The scene looked exactly like a gang boss disguised as a delivery rider coming to collect protection money.

"Hiyahhhh!" Yu Yuan warily backed up two steps and took a defensive stance. He looked imposing enough, but his lips were trembling a little.

"I-I'm telling you to stay calm. Robbery's illegal these days. I'll call the police! Don't come any closer!"

The delivery guy's expression remained unchanged. He stepped forward and asked in a deep, resonant voice:

"Hello, are you the customer 'He runs, I chase, the God of Wealth can't escape even with wings'? Your delivery has arrived. Please collect it."

Yu Yuan went from This guy really is a delivery rider? to What the hell kind of username is that? before finally accepting it expressionlessly.

He held out his hand. "Okay, just give it to me."

At that, the delivery guy took out his phone, bared a mouthful of gleaming white teeth, and answered with a question.

"Are you Mr. Yu Yuan?"

Yu Yuan froze, puzzled. "Yes."

The delivery guy said, "Your biological sister with different parents, Ye Xunzhi, just purchased our newly launched 'Companionship for Lonely Seniors' delivery service. You're the person receiving companionship, and she's ridden off on my motorcycle, so I look forward to spending the next two hours with you."

"..."

Yu Yuan was stunned. "What?!"

Meanwhile, Ye Xunzhi, who had successfully slipped away through the balcony, rode the familiar delivery motorcycle with tears in her eyes and a gentle smile.

Goodbye, Brother Yu. Don't worry. The companion I picked for you was my mentor back when I delivered food.

He might look fierce, but he's actually a very sensitive man. You two are sure to get along.

On the winding mountain road, a red motorcycle and a black one raced side by side, evenly matched in both speed and skill.

Quite a few motorcycles followed behind, all left far in their wake.

With a deep, high-difficulty lean through a turn, the red motorcycle narrowly pulled a little ahead of the black one.

The rider of the red motorcycle looked back, arrogantly raised two fingers to his forehead, and gave a farewell salute.

"Give up, blondie. You can't beat me. Be a good boy and serve me tea and water for the next month!"

Lu Nan gave a dry laugh. "Ye Xiao, wait until you've beaten me before making those grand declarations. Keep your dreams to yourself."

Ye Xiao opened his mouth to continue, only to suddenly hear a familiar voice.

You need to lean forward at this speed? So much unnecessary flair.

Ye Xiao: ???

Hearing the rush of wind behind them, both turned their heads.

A yellow motorcycle bearing the words "Meituan Delivery" seemed to glow in the darkness as it made a dazzling entrance with a "beep-beep."

Under their astonished gazes, Ye Xunzhi rode the delivery motorcycle past both their bikes, then executed a perfect lean through the bend ahead.

She showed them both up with her skill, adding a remark carried back on the wind:

"Oh, not bad. I'll wait for you at the mountaintop."

Ye Xiao: !!!

Lu Nan: !!!

Lu Nan's face nearly cracked beneath his helmet, and he even stammered as he spoke.

"Holy shit! Ye Xiao, isn't that your-your sister? How's she so damn good? She doesn't even slow down in the turns!"

Ye Xiao was even more shocked than he was. "How would I know?! Isn't she supposed to be with Yu Yuan right now?"

The gap kept widening until they couldn't even see the yellow motorcycle's taillight anymore.

When the two finally sped all the way up to the finish line, what greeted them was the expert's back, utterly dismissive of them.

"Little sis, when did you learn to lean into turns like that? Who taught you?!"

Ye Xiao was so shocked that he couldn't even maintain his composed image. He lunged over, his mind filled with-

My sister actually destroyed me in my own specialty!

"Nobody taught me. I was just riding around." Ye Xunzhi looked completely innocent.

I've never ridden a motorcycle like yours, but I've delivered food. The principle's pretty much the same. I only meant to give it a try. I didn't expect these two to be so pathetically weak.

Ye Xiao: "..."

Not much damage, maximum insult.

"Little girl, what modifications does this bike have to make it run so fast?" Lu Nan circled the delivery motorcycle, refusing to believe it.

He didn't believe it. This bike had to be hiding some secret he just hadn't spotted yet.

Ye Xunzhi said, "Just the On-Time Guarantee."

Stop looking. The only thing that can overtake my rear wheel is my front wheel. When I'm delivering food, either the food goes cold or I do!

Lu Nan looked at his motorcycle, then at the adorably dopey yellow one, and fell silent.

Thanks. That hurt.

Ye Xunzhi didn't give them much time to question their lives. Beaming, she opened an audio recording on her phone containing a conversation between her and Ye Xiao.

"Fifth Brother, according to your bet with Lu Nan, whoever crosses the finish line first tonight gets to tell you both what to do, right?"

"That's right. We'll honor the bet if we lose."

Lu Nan and Ye Xiao, who had been so confident in themselves that they had never even considered a third person winning:

"..."

After all their years out in the world, everyone at Ningde High School knew them, everyone had heard of them, and nobody dared mess with them.

At last, today-

-they got their just deserts.
