Chapter 842


    Christopher Lancelot subconsciously lowered his car window, his gaze fixed upon her.


    X Quest stroked her hair as it billowed with the wind, tossing the strands of hair scattered on her


    chest to her back.


    Holding her helmet in one hand, she pranced toward Christopher andnguidly ced her other


    hand on his car roof. “I won.”


    Christopher got out of his car and stood in front of X. Casually closing the car door, he took off


    the helmet and met her eyes. “Alright then. What do you want me to do? I can do whatever you


    want me to do.”


    X shook her head in response. “Nah. I don’t have anything in particr to ask from you.”


    “Hey, that’s our deal. Don’t waste your only chance to instruct me to do something for you. X, I


    can give you anything as long you can name it,” Christopher said.


    “Well, why don’t you buy me a drink?” X pondered for a short while.


    Her brain had regained itsposure as soon as her car pulled up.

    Once again, grief crept over her like a hungry beast.


    She wanted a ss of beer more than anything else.


    “Have you heard of that saying?” Christopher asked.


    “What?”


    “Water flows even if we try to cut it with swords, and sorrow returns even if we try to drown them


    with wine.”


    “I know, but I just want to drink…” X mumbled.


    “Hmm… Shall we continue to race? I can stay here the whole night if you want,” Christopher


    suggested.


    Warmth filled X instantaneously.


    She hesitated for a few seconds before answering, “Sure. Let’s do it again.”


    X put on her helmet and got back into her car.


    Hearing that, Christopher quickly put on his helmet and hopped into his car too.


    Just like that, the two set off and drove up the mountain again and again…


    They were both deeply immersed in the thrill of racing until their cars almost ran out of gas. Only


    then were they willing to stop the race.


    It was already half-past two in the morning.


    X was just about to get out of her red Ferrari when Christopher got in the car from the other side


    and plopped down on the passenger seat.


    Closing the car door, he agilely took off his helmet before turning to X and carefully taking off


    hers.


    “Thanks…” X whispered.


    She felt so much better after speeding along the racing track for countlessps.


    Though the torment and heartache she suffered still haunted her from time to time, she felt a lot


    more relieved than before.


    Her brain was much clearer too.


    “It’s my pleasure.” Christopher added, “Are you feeling better now?”


    X nodded.


    “I understand that you’re not in the mood to talk about it, but I’ve apanied you for so long…


    Can you at least tell me what’s troubling you?


    “What exactly happened to you? I’ll keep it a secret for you if it’s something personal. However, if


    you’re being bullied or threatened, I’ll definitely take revenge on that bastard.”


    “I’m a little older than you. You’re not only my friend. I treat you like my sister. I hope you can treat


    me like your brother as well, and confide your distress to me…”


    The sincerity in his tone only intensified with each word he spoke. He could not take his empathetic


    eyes off her face.


    X was not in her usual state for the entire night. He was really worried about her.


    X sighed. “Are you that curious?”
