Chapter 111: Extra 10: Better than Before

Translated by Addis of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Editor: Karai

After resting for half a year following the birth of their child, his body fully recovered to its original state, even better than before. Especially after several months of aerobic fitness training with a coach, his weight increased, and his body became more balanced.

Especially his waist and abdominal lines would also return to their original state.

Now he could finally touch racing cars again.

When he used to race abroad, all his indicators were up to standard, whether it was physical fitness or psychological state. But after getting injured in the race he participated in after returning to the country, his family didn’t want him to race again, which he could understand.

After all, he couldn’t risk his life for something he liked and indirectly hurt his family.

Just like his second brother said, unless it’s sacrificing for the country, one should act within their limits.

He understood that.

But this time, he only touched racing cars after Duan Yizhou agreed. They practiced together for the wedding two months later.

Saint Luo Congyue Villa—

In the news, the only semi-mountain villa in Saint Luo Congyue Villa, with the largest area and a value of 1 billion, has been snapped up by an unknown wealthy person, and the land next to the mountain has been bought and turned into a racetrack.

The total value is unknown, but according to experts’ estimates, the total value of the semi-mountain villa, the land, and the racetrack is no less than 20 billion.

At this moment, in the racetrack behind Luo Songran’s semi-mountain villa.

“The outside-inside-outside technique is the most basic racing technique. It refers to the line our car takes through the corner, from approaching the corner to entering it and then exiting it. The point closest to the center of the corner in the line is called the apex point, which is usually the middle point of the outside-inside-outside line. It’s also the critical point in terms of power, and this critical point is the so-called decisive point for overtaking in corners.”

With a tear, Luo Songran put on his racing gloves. As he put on the gloves, he explained the basic techniques to Duan Yizhou.

The afternoon sunlight was gentle, falling on his black and red racing suit, making his fair and delicate face more strikingly handsome. As he lowered his head to adjust his gloves, his serious tone contrasted sharply with his usual cuteness and wilfulness, giving him an exceptionally charming demeanor.

It presented a strong contrast.

Just like when he was playing the violin, his serious and dedicated appearance was particularly charming.

Duan Yizhou stared at him intently, also learning how to put on the gloves. After all, today was his first time encountering racing cars. As an amateur to the extreme, if he wanted to surprise the little rascal with some racing skills of death, he had to listen carefully.

Seeing Duan Yizhou struggling with the gloves, Luo Songran reached out his hand to him. “Give me your hand, I’ll help you put them on.”

“Alright, thank you, Teacher Luo.”

Luo Songran sensed the playful tone in his words but didn’t mind, and he helped adjust his gloves while saying, “If there’s anything about that technique you don’t understand, feel free to ask.”

“Teacher Luo, I want to ask why it’s outside-inside-outside? The shortest distance between two points is a straight line, so in a corner, shouldn’t the fastest route be the one closest to the turn, which, in your words, would be inside-inside-inside, right?” Duan Yizhou raised the question he wanted to ask.

Luo Songran glanced at Duan Yizhou, smiled, and continued to lower his head to help him put on the gloves. “Purely considering distance, inside-inside-inside is indeed the shortest route, but in reality, when a car passes through a corner, the first consideration is the fastest route through the corner. So whether it’s the shortest route is not an absolute factor. Racing primarily focuses on time rather than distance.”

“The inside-inside-inside line would cause a significant speed difference between entering and exiting the corner. In order to pass through such a small turning radius, the speed of the car must be greatly reduced, which is extremely disadvantageous for accelerating out of the corner.”

“Although outside-inside-outside is not the shortest route, it allows the car to pass through the corner at a relatively fast speed. Compared to outside-outside-outside, outside-inside-outside can pass through the corner in a short time, and the timing is just right, so this is the best choice.”

“Did you understand?”

Duan Yizhou lowered his gaze. From this angle, he could see the slight trembling of Luo Songran’s eyelashes as he spoke. The light from outside cast onto his handsome face, and even the faint fuzz was visible.

The citrus rose scent seemed to surround him faintly at such a close distance.

With such a familiar action of putting on gloves and explaining his expertise in a calm and ordinary tone, his little rascal was shining brightly.

Luo Songran felt Duan Yizhou’s fiery gaze on him. He adjusted the gloves and smiled, “But Duan, you don’t need to think so much. I won’t make things difficult for you.”

“Why?” Duan Yizhou asked, then saw Luo Songran holding his hand.

The two hands wearing gloves clasped together, and even through the thick material, they could feel each other’s warmth.

Luo Songran held Duan Yizhou’s hand tightly, looking at him seriously and affectionately, and said with a smile, “We’re not really competing, we’re getting married. I’m already happy to get married in this way, and you mustn’t get hurt. If you do, I’ll be heartbroken.”

“You mustn’t get hurt, or I’ll be heartbroken.”

Duan Yizhou’s eyes flickered slightly, and just this sentence alone touched him deeply.

The little rascal must really love him so much.

So he had to prepare this surprise even better.

So they each got into the specially customized racing cars that were waiting for them outside the racetrack, with staff waiting for them.

Duan Yizhou had been practicing secretly for some time now, just to pull off the Death Kiss, but the coach told him that performing the Death Kiss wasn’t difficult. It was the simplest of the two-car stunts, involving a 180-degree drift and reversing.

The difficult part was that he needed to complete this Death Kiss without Luo Songran knowing, and he had to fully trust that Luo Songran could brake in time.

He trusted Luo Songran, but could he really do it?

.

So in the next two months, apart from spending time with their children, the two of them would make time every day to indulge in their hobby of racing as amateurs.

Luo Songran also noticed that Duan Yizhou seemed hesitant to drive. He didn’t dare to drive too fast on such a big racetrack, even at a speed of two hundred miles per hour. Later, he realized that it was understandable. After all, he was getting older, and he had more concerns.

In fact, he also had some concerns. After all, he was now a husband and a father. For safety’s sake, it was better not to rush things. They could treat it as entertainment, and if needed, he could let Duan Yizhou win at the finish line.

During this time, apart from preparing for the wedding, they also took their wedding photos.

When the wedding photos and the family portrait were hung in the hall of their new home, Luo Songran felt a sense of unreality. He had truly started a family.

“Darling.”

Luo Songran stood in front of the family portrait and felt a strong arm wrap around his waist, pulling him into a warm and broad chest. He didn’t turn his head, knowing who it could only be:

“Yes?”

“My thirty-fourth birthday is coming up in a few days.” Duan Yizhou accompanied him as they looked at the family portrait on the wall.

In the family portrait, the two of them were holding a Piglet and a Pipsqueak respectively, and the four of them were captured in a single frame, exuding a strange sense of similarity.

“What should we do? I’ll have to go home on your birthday,” Luo Songran thought of what his dad and grandpa had arranged for him. He had to go home the day before the wedding because he needed to leave home to come to the new one.

“I know, it’s okay.” Duan Yizhou wasn’t thinking about that. “I’m thinking about Piglet and a Pipsqueak.”

“You’ll bring them along, won’t you? They’ll cry if they’re away from you,” Luo Songran had already thought about it. He turned his head to look at Duan Yizhou and smiled, “I’ll go pick you three up.”

Duan Yizhou chuckled deeply, “Okay.”

The formality wasn’t important. What mattered was…

They were finally getting married.

On the day of the wedding, it wasn’t known who leaked the news, but the magnificent wedding procession outside the Saint Rose Conyers Manor was captured by someone.

The son of the Galaxy Group’s CEO was marrying the president of the Une Technology Group.

Wedding at the Saint Rose Conyers Manor Racetrack.

Prince F of Country D attended the wedding banquet.

Words like these became the most explosive news of the day.

However, such hype didn’t make the young master of the Galaxy Group, who had always been protected behind an impenetrable barrier, appear in public. Not a single photo was taken, and even the name of the young master wasn’t known.

Let alone his babies.

Two wedding processions entered the manor from the north and south directions, with an array of luxury and sports cars dazzling the eyes. The wedding procession coming from the north had the most top-tier sports cars. In the front was a matte black motorcycle, ridden by a young man wearing a white racing suit, looking extremely cool.

Not only that, but two or three private planes flew into the manor’s airstrip.

There were also drones capturing aerial footage.

To ensure safety, both wedding processions had security personnel escorting them and clearing the way.

The luxurious villa, built against the mountain, covered an area of nearly five thousand square meters. From the moment you entered the door, you were surrounded by tens of thousands of champagne roses, spreading to the racetrack behind, as if a city was built with flowers.

The banquet hall was specially decorated for the wedding and looked extremely dreamy. Crystal beads hung from the ceiling, complementing the champagne sea of flowers below, like a world-famous painting, exuding a romantic and artistic atmosphere in the reflection of the light.

The lights on the ground cast tiny dots, each with the abbreviation “L&D” in English. Not only that, but every aspect of the banquet hall, from the utensils and glasses to the gifts, and even the walls and floors, had such abbreviations.

Everything proves how deeply they love each other in such a detailed manner.

And on the banquet stage, there sits a world-class violin, its perfect body shimmering softly under the outline of the lights. Looking at it from the side, you can slightly discern the traces of use, remnants left by its owner from countless international competitions.

At this moment, friends and family have already taken their seats in the grandstand of the villa’s racetrack.

Among them, two baby strollers stand out because they are adorned with lovely pig-shaped balloons tied to the handles. These balloons are inscribed with the names of the protagonists of today’s wedding, L & D.

The racetrack is built according to international standards, with all the equipment being professional, except for the referees who are not professionals.

Chu Beiheng, the elder brother who just rushed back in time, was pressed into service and became the referee for the racing segment of today’s wedding, much to his surprise at how thrilling his brother’s wedding turned out to be.

But little did everyone know, there was something even more thrilling in store.

Beside the starting line, two cars stood.

Luo Songran, clad in a white racing suit, was adjusting his gloves, casting a sidelong glance at the man beside him, Duan Yizhou.

Duan Yizhou, dressed in a custom-made black racing suit today instead of his usual formal attire, perfectly outlined the robustness of this man’s physique. Not to mention his appearance without glasses, his brows furrowed, giving the impression of a silent beast, poised and ready.

Hormones and tension were running high.

“Hey, brother,” Luo Songran’s lips curled slightly as he called out.

Duan Yizhou looked over at the sound, his emotions that were previously restrained suddenly disrupted by Luo Songran’s action.

Luo Songran bit down on the seam of his left glove, tearing it open with a sound and pulling the glove off with his mouth. He caught the glove with his right hand and then looked up at Duan Yizhou, lightly curling his lips, lifting his left hand towards him, and then lowering his gaze, placing a kiss on his left ring finger.

The ring finger, previously adorned with an engagement ring, was now bare.

This kiss was a kind of anticipation.

This kiss also fell heavily on Duan Yizhou’s heart.

Luo Songran let go of his hand, meeting Duan Yizhou’s intense gaze over the roof of the car. He smiled and said, “Brother, I’m a bit lazy. I still want you to come after me. Good luck.”

With that, he bent down and got into the car.

Duan Yizhou felt his heart racing, adrenaline rushing through his veins. He had mastered the skills he had been practicing during this time: the 180-degree drift and reverse driving, and there was that one percent chance he bet on that Luo Songran would stop, the kiss of death.

Perhaps this was the true kiss of death.

Watching this scene from the stands, the father couldn’t help but sigh, “Honey, we were conservative back then,” he said, patting his wife’s thigh.

“Do you want to give it a try, then?” the father asked with a half-smile.

The dad was silent for two seconds, then chuckled nervously, “I’m afraid of dying, forget it,” he said, holding his wife’s shoulder, watching the tense and thrilling pre-wedding race of his son.

Buzz—

The powerful roar of engines belonging to the racing cars erupted on the track.

Standing at the starting line, the elder brother holding the green flag watched the two cars poised for action. He sighed heavily, not knowing what he was thinking. There’s no harm in comparison.

As the LED lights signaled the start, the green flag waved down in that instant.

The black and red racing car and the blue and white racing car almost simultaneously launched from the start, like arrows shot from a bow, roaring through the starting point. The speed wasn’t excessively fast, but it still reached around 200 miles per hour. They had agreed not to go too fast, fearing the danger.

But to the spectators, the speed seemed quite fast, and they couldn’t help but feel nervous watching.

Luo Songran gripped the steering wheel, keeping a close eye on the car behind him. He vaguely sensed that Duan Yizhou might not dare to go too fast, perhaps feeling a bit nervous even though it was just a recreational 52 laps. There was still some concern.

But he didn’t want to let up too obviously. He could only maintain a speed similar to Duan Yizhou’s, occasionally overtaking him on the corners and then slowing down on the straightaways, trying not to open up too much of a gap between them.

In his eyes, Duan Yizhou’s speed seemed like a snail’s pace.

So, to friends and family, it seemed like even racing was a game of tag between them, without the tension of dangerous sports, just a trail of breadcrumbs.

Until the last lap, when Luo Songran noticed signs that Duan Yizhou was about to accelerate. So, he deliberately slowed down in the last half lap of the turn. As expected, while one accelerated and the other decelerated in that turn, Duan Yizhou overtook him directly.

Seeing Duan Yizhou about to finish, he smiled under his helmet. Well, letting Duan Yizhou win was quite satisfying.

But just as he was about to accelerate by the finish line, he suddenly noticed Duan Yizhou’s car drifting 180 degrees towards him at the moment it crossed the line, tires rubbing against the ground, kicking up dust and sparks, enveloping the blue and white car. And the car’s front end was turning directly towards him.

His pupils shrank suddenly, frantically turning the steering wheel left and right, swerving to reduce his speed, then slamming on the brakes.

Both cars almost hit the brakes at the same time, with just milliseconds difference. Smoke and sparks billowed up, shrouding half of both cars, but couldn’t obscure the closeness of the two car fronts.

Just a bit more.

Luo Songran’s gaze pierced through his helmet, staring incredulously at the other end of the car. Through the glass separating them, he met eyes with a gaze that burned with intense passion.

The next second, their car fronts lightly touched.

A touch that was almost without harm.

It was a gentle kiss from the car front.

It was the unwavering romance of the racetrack, the kiss of death.

At that moment, he gripped the steering wheel tightly, taking a deep breath. His heart pounded against his chest, the adrenaline almost numbing his senses with excitement and fear, briefly robbing him of his ability to articulate.

Then he saw Duan Yizhou steering his car slightly, slowly driving towards him.

Almost sensing what Duan Yizhou wanted to do, he pressed the window button.

The windows of both cars lowered simultaneously. As their eyes met, the heartbeat in his chest grew even more jubilant. It was relief, it was gratitude, but more than anything, it was excitement.

Luo Songran laughed and cried, his breathing erratic, meeting Duan Yizhou’s gaze. Choking up, he said, “Are you insane?”

“Darling, was that thrilling?” Duan Yizhou asked with a smile.

“You scared me,” Luo Songran cried out, removing his helmet and covering his face, feeling the lingering numbness spreading. Now, he was all weak-kneed.

Then he felt a shadow pass before his eyes, and, startled, he looked up, directly into the deep, tender eyes of the man before him.

Duan Yizhou had already taken off his helmet, his forehead damp with sweat, his hair tousled and carrying a hint of untamed wildness. He leaned out of the car window, resting his hand on Luo Songran’s car roof, gazing down at him.

The distance between the two cars was just the length of a person, very close.

But now, this proximity was directly bridged by Duan Yizhou to an intimacy that surpassed the kiss of death, leaving Luo Songran’s heart tingling even more.

“Darling, thank you for letting me,” Duan Yizhou’s voice was hoarse, perhaps from the tension of moments before. Seeing Luo Songran’s reddened eyes, he continued, “Did you like the surprise?”

“I did,” Luo Songran couldn’t believe the crazy stunt this man had pulled, “But you gave me quite a scare. Did you think about what would happen if I crashed into you? A wedding turning into a funeral. Today has been too insane for you.”

So, this man had intentionally planned this, to make him let down his guard. But was it too much to trust him this much?

“I trust you unconditionally, so even if we did it again, I’d dare.”

Luo Songran was simply astounded, once again revising his impression of Duan Yizhou. So this man could do such crazy things, which made him… love him even more.

“Is there a reward?” Duan Yizhou gazed at Luo Songran.

“What reward?”

“Kiss me.”

Once again, Luo Songran met Duan Yizhou’s deep, ocean-like eyes. He has completely surrendered to the tenderness and affection of this man now. Only this man could do such things for him.

He reached out and touched Duan Yizhou’s nape, leaning in to kiss him.

Compared to the deathly kiss of dust and sparks from their car fronts,

The kiss of true love was warm and tasted of saliva.

Under the thrilling and true love kiss of this century’s wedding, witnessed by friends and family, the ceremony officially began.

Luo Songran thought to himself,

Indeed, he must have saved the world in his past life, otherwise how could he have met Duan Yizhou at three years old, been with him since twenty, and now have a pair of twins.

From now on, he had to love Duan Yizhou even more.
