CHAPTER 193
On the other hand, when Andromeda and Xie Tian arrived at the race tracks, he got down and allowed her to take charge as the driver this time.
All the while, he kept his intense gaze on her, watching her every move to figure out what was going on with her.
When she had called him about the racing and wanted to ride to clear her head, he felt elated, thinking this was a chance for him to try again.
Sadly, once he saw her and they rode here, she kept mute for more than half of the journey.
He could tell the awkward atmosphere surrounding them was still strong after that kiss.
Though he wished she had forgotten it all, he did not know how to approach her without sounding off.
Andromeda turned her head to the side, belting up and getting ready for the ride when she caught him staring at her and she halted what she was doing.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, Andy. You?"
"Yeah."
"Okay."
For every reason and all the right things, Xie Tian knew she wasn\'t but considering she did not want to talk, he decided to let her be.
Getting ready for the race, Andromeda drove straight to the track, waiting for the go signal before she began.
"Ready..."
A loud whistle was blown, accompanying the sounds of several cars that drove past the lady in front of them as the race instantly kick-started.
Several cheers went on as the spectators were left with a live match of the race
In that chaotic echo, Liu Xueyi and Liu Xiao Xin drove into the area and alighted just in time to witness the race.
All the while Liu Xiao Xin\'s gaze remained glued on the winning two cars while she bit down on her lower lip subconsciously.
For some reason, Liu Xueyi could not figure out why she was so interested in the match but kept quiet about it and observed with his hands crossed in front of his chest as his eyes squinted at the screen to get a better view of things.
Something about how the person in the second place drove gave Liu Xiao Xin\'s heart a tug.
The more she kept on looking at the screen, the more she saw a familiarization with the time when she found herself in the car racing circle.
Only memories of when that person drove kept invading her mind at a continuous flow that she could not help but wonder.
However, being in second place was not what that particular person would do and, in the end, Liu Xiao Xin was left to wonder if she was getting her hopes up for nothing.
Regardless of what the situation was, she did not give up whatsoever. Any chance by which she could see him was one she would cherish for all time\'s sake.
Unbeknownst to her, Liu Xueyi\'s lingering stern gaze ate her up as he studied her expression further.
Suddenly, several screams were heard from the crowd pulling his mind back to the screen.
Narrowing his gaze on the car that he once saw in the second place, he was shocked when dust and smoke surrounded the curve the car had passed, leaving the car that was once in the first place behind to pass the curve as the rider did.
"Yesh! First place," Liu Xiao Xin yelled as well while pressing her hands into a fist as she lifted them in front of her.
If he had thought her concentration was already too deep in the race before, then he was confused because the girl he saw now looked like she had found her idol as she moved closer to the front to spectate better.
Left with no other judgement but pure surprise, Liu Xueyi watched on till the competition finally ended and the riders came back.
Instant jubilation and screams were heard as the people present hailed the winner while waiting for the riders to step out of their respective cars.
As if on cue, his gaze averted from the cars and the people, coming to land on his sister who eagerly waited.
\'Something\'s not right with Xiao Xin. Is she… No. There would be no way she would know who the rider is, right?\' He contemplated within him as he peeled his gaze from her face to the cars once more.
At the same time, the doors to the car that won were pushed open slowly on either side to Liu Xiao Xin and Liu Xueyi\'s surprise as well.
Never in their life would they have believed that two people were in the car considering they did not come on time but that was not what had surprised them.
Liu Xiao Xin\'s lips fell apart as she stared at the feet of the one driving the car. No doubt those feet belonged to a lady.
And as both parties stepped out completely, everyone waited to get a good look at their faces, considering they still wore their helmet on.
The second Liu Xueyi\'s eyes landed on her, his gaze narrowed further as eyes landed on the rich golden blonde hair.
Just like his sister who had shifted her gaze from the female rider to the male occupant at the passenger\'s seat, their breathing stilled.
She recognized that physique anywhere and so did Liu Xueyi but the fact that he was not sure Andromeda raced, he became skeptical and waited.
Together both parties placed their hands on their helmets and slowly took them off.
It felt like a certain dread had fallen upon everyone present as each one had the same thought in their minds.
They all wished to see who this magnificent rider was to easily beat the top rider.
This was because Xie Tian had decided to use another car to race and more than anything, this was the racing car Andromeda used back then in Paris.
Without further ado, she pulled the helmet off and shook her hair, removing the scattered strands from her face as she turned her head in the direction of the crowd, to give them the treat they had been waiting for.
Immediately, jaws dropped and eyelids battered at them for seconds, forgetting to move or say anything.
The last time he was here, she raced without any problems but did not do such feats as she did today, taking the triple S curve and swerving it like it was a piece of cake.
While the others engraved her face in their minds, Liu Xueyi and Liu Xiao Xin had different thoughts.
"Andromeda."
"Xie Tian!"
The very same moment. Andromeda\'s eyes landed on the person who had called her name and so did Xie Tian.
The shocked expression on their faces mirrored the ones on the faces of their friends.
The moment Liu Xueyi mentioned her name, it was like the spell keeping the others in check suddenly wore off and they came back to their senses.
"Andromeda!"
"Yay! Whooo!"
"And we have our winner. Racer 08, Andromeda!"
The screams and jubilation continued for the next seconds and all Andromeda could do at the moment was smile at them before waving and stepping away from the car as she shut the doors behind her.
Together, Andromeda and Xie Tian walked over to where Liu Xueyi and his sister stood. A few seconds passed by with neither of them saying anything and just staring at the other.
For Andromeda, she did not know where to start, seeing the two men she had loved in her life standing opposite each other.
As for Xiao Xin, she was both elated and glad but surprised that Xie Tian knew Andromeda and it was she who drove in such a manner as Xie Tian.
This thought had further prompted her to wonder what kind of relationship the two of them had.
While both ladies had a simpler thought running through their heads, both guys became involved in a deathly glare contest.
Suddenly she felt a chilling sensation in the atmosphere and when Andromeda turned her attention to the both of them, she was shocked by what she saw.
If she got it right, they should not have met but the intense gaze being sent at each other, told of a feud she had no idea about.
Not only her but Xiao Xin found their glares suspicious and being one who was always up for peace, as well as not wanting her brother to get into a fight with someone she liked, she decided to save the situation.
Besides, she could smell the jealousy eating off of her brother and Xie Tian.
"Xie Tian," Liu Xiao Xin began but stopped briefly as she bit down on her lower lip and lowered her gaze.
She thought she had braved herself up but having him direct his gaze at her, Liu Xiao Xin felt her face suddenly turn hot.
Seeing where the situation was going and how awkward things were getting, Andromeda decided to help Xiao Xin. "Hello, Xueyi."
However, his reaction wasn\'t one she had expected and when he took action, not just her but Xiao Xin got shocked.
