After Breaking the Persona, I Reach the Peak of My Life

Chapter 1045 - 1042: Ji Qiutang’s Persona Falls Apart

Xu Renfei stared blankly at the person who suddenly appeared in front of them, paused, and gaped, "Second brother?! Is that you!"Ji Qiutang’s eyes curved into a smile, "Yes, it’s me. How have you been, Little Seven?"

Xu Renfei widened his eyes, took off his helmet, and shook his head, "Not good, not at all! Ever since you left, nothing’s been good! Not just for me, but everyone else! Without you, none of us are good!"

Listening to Xu Renfei, Ji Qiutang gently shook his head and smiled without speaking.

But Bi Xia noticed Xu Renfei’s action, turned and snatched the helmet from his hand, then roughly shoved it back onto his head, saying expressionlessly, "If you want to get noticed, then get off the bike and die alone, don’t drag me into it!"

Ignoring Xu Renfei’s innocent look, Bi Xia turned and slightly frowned at Ji Qiutang, "Aren’t you supposed to be in Qing City? How did you end up in Yan City?"

Ji Qiutang chuckled lightly, not answering Bi Xia’s question, but glanced around, "Are you sure you two famous figures want to talk to me here?"

Bi Xia also noticed some people looking their way; clearly, someone saw Xu Renfei when he took off his helmet but wasn’t sure it was them, so they were watching quietly.

Thinking of this, Bi Xia glared hard at Xu Renfei and spoke to Ji Qiutang, "Where to? We’re lost and can’t find the way out."

Upon hearing this, Ji Qiutang paused, then burst into laughter. He smiled, looked up at Bi Xia, "My car is ahead, follow me."

Bi Xia nodded, watching Ji Qiutang walk towards a spot with bicycles and motorcycles parked in twos and threes. Bi Xia nodded, surprised that someone like Ji Qiutang would ride motorcycles one day — truly impressive. His gaze landed on a silver-white motorcycle, Bi Xia half-squinted his starry eyes, hmm, that one should be Ji Qiutang’s...

Bi Xia: ...

Silently watched as Ji Qiutang moved the vehicles aside, then tapped the kickstand with his foot and pushed a red Auntie-brand bicycle towards them.

"...Is this yours?"

"Yes."

Bi Xia: ...

Simply can’t imagine Ji Qiutang riding such a bicycle, just like she can’t imagine Xu Renfei ever being aloof instead of goofy.

"Why would you ride such a decidedly... feminine bicycle?" Bi Xia’s mouth twitched, lightly coughed, and asked.

Ji Qiutang looked at Bi Xia with a beaming smile, then his gaze fell on Xu Renfei’s face, who looked accustomed, "Feminine? Somewhat, just wanted to try it out."

Turning, he sat on the bicycle, one foot on the pedal, the other on the ground, "Stay close to me~"

Bi Xia: ... Brother, this is a motorcycle!

Before Bi Xia managed to start the bike, he saw Ji Qiutang pedal away swiftly, disappearing in no time.

Huh? What the heck? Where did he go?

"He went straight ahead." Xu Renfei spoke calmly behind Bi Xia.

Giving Xu Renfei a confused look, Bi Xia pulled down his visor, revved the engine, and the motorcycle sped forward. Soon, he saw Ji Qiutang’s figure. Bi Xia watched expressionlessly as Ji Qiutang pedaled the bicycle madly, "I shouldn’t be mistaken, right? He is Ji Qiutang, that gentle rogue?"

"Don’t worry, he is Ji Qiutang," Xu Renfei replied calmly from behind, "Though he looks gentle like a scholar, and isn’t into racing cars or off-road vehicles like us, but..."

Xu Renfei held his helmet with one hand, "He really loves bicycles."

"His greatest hobby is long-term enjoyment of various types of bicycles. Once, he bought more than ten bicycles in one day for his garage, and every time we go out, we drive a car, but when we get to him, he has to haul a bicycle along, and he crazily pedals outside at super speed while we play."

"What do you think, isn’t Ji Qiutang’s persona slowly collapsing? Compared to someone like him, who is internally crazy, wouldn’t you prefer someone like me, openly crazy from beginning to end?"

As expected of a motorcycle, Bi Xia easily caught up with Ji Qiutang, glancing at Ji Qiutang smiling gleefully, he told Xu Renfei, "You being crazy? Don’t be ridiculous, you’re a fool."

Xu Renfei: ...
