Speed and Fate

The engines roared through the night as Jiang Chen sped through the streets of Bangkok, his hands steady on the wheel and his expression cold. The race was dangerous, but he showed no fear. For him, speed was the only thing that made him feel alive. Within moments, he crossed the finish line, leaving everyone behind, yet his face showed no sign of satisfaction.At the same time, Lin Xia arrived in the city, determined to find him. Years ago, they had lived together and shared a close bond, but he had disappeared without a word. Since then, she had carried unanswered questions and the hope of seeing him again. With only a photo and her memories, she searched until she finally found him at a racing track.When she called his name, Jiang Chen recognized her instantly, but his reaction was distant. He looked at her like a stranger and told her to leave, acting as if their past meant nothing. Lin Xia was hurt by his coldness, yet she refused to walk away. She could see that he had changed, but she also felt that something of the boy she once knew was still there.Instead of giving up, she stayed and followed him, slowly discovering the life he now lived. She saw the illegal races, the dangerous people around him, and the constant tension in his world. It became clear that this was no ordinary life, and that Jiang Chen was deeply involved in something risky.Later, she confronted him again, demanding answers. For a brief moment, his cold expression softened, hinting that he still cared, but he quickly pushed her away once more. He insisted that she did not belong in his world and told her to leave for her own safety.But Lin Xia made her choice. No matter how much he tried to distance himself, she decided to stay.
