Jun-Yu (hesitating): "Last night… I saw that same girl again in my dreams."
Shu-Yang (eyes narrowing): "Dreams? Or someone is following you… even here?"
★★★
Jun-Yu is sitting on his green racing bike at the Shanghai Tianma Circuit, leaning with both legs placed side by side. On his fair skin, wearing a loose silver-gray shirt tucked in with sleeves folded up to his elbows, the boy looks strangely handsome under the shining sunlight. His perfect eyes behind black sunglasses are already observing the speed of a handsome young rider. Watching the rider's ride, a slight smile appears at the corner of Jun-Yu's pink lips.
After some time, the rider who had been riding on the racing track returns to the pit stop and stops the bike in front of Jun-Yu, taking off his helmet. After riding under the burning sun for so long, he is drenched in sweat. But his beauty is in no way less than Jun-Yu's. With his fair complexion and light pink leather outfit, he looks uniquely beautiful.
Rider: Hey scientist Jun-Yu, why did you suddenly come to the racing track today?
Jun-Yu:— So nice, brother. Shu-Yang, you will be the champion in motorcycle racing this year.
Shu-Yang: So when will you enter racing, scientist boy?
Jun-Yu: Ugh, my professor Lin-Boshi will not let this dream of mine come true. He has given me a ton of assignments.
Shu-Yang: So bookworm, why did you come to the circuit leaving your studies?
Jun-Yu: I needed to freshen my mind, friend.
Shu-Yang: Needed to freshen your mind! But why? Tell me, where has your mind gone?
Jun-Yu: I don't know. Last night I saved a girl from danger. But that girl has been chasing me even in my dreams. That's why I came to the circuit to clear my mind. I cannot concentrate on studying at all. The moment I open a book and recite two lines, I start running in fear, and that sweaty girl's face keeps appearing in front of my eyes.
Jun-Yu and Shu-Yang are childhood friends. Jun-Yu, who knows nothing about love, had come to his friend. But as he has never spoken about girls before, today his words have given Shu-Yang the perfect chance to tease him.
Shu-Yang: Oh really? So which girl is she? Who has the courage to steal even a small innocent heart like my simple-minded friend? I, Police Officer Shu-Yang, promise you, I will catch that girl within two days and bring her to you.
Jun-Yu: You devil, wait! Today I will expose your police act. You dog, are you my friend or my enemy? Just stand in front of me today. Whether it takes one day or as many days as needed, I will get you today.
Saying this, Jun-Yu angrily starts chasing Shu-Yang. Running, Shu-Yang smiles—
Shu-Yang: You little devil, how dare you, being a normal person, chase a police officer? I will complain about you to that girl.
Jun-Yu stops chasing Shu-Yang and, panting—
Jun-Yu: Stop, devil! Since you are a police officer, I cannot run with you anymore. Otherwise, if I could catch you today, I would train you as a police again. But Police sir, please don't complain about me to that girl. Instead, please remove that girl from my mind. I am folding my hands and requesting you.
Shu-Yang: Alright, come on. How many laps you ride on the track at racing speed will make that girl disappear from your mind.
Jun-Yu goes from outside the pit stop inside, wearing his black leather suit with green piping, boots, gloves, and helmet, and starts his green bike. Shu-Yang was already riding before, so he was already in his racing gear. Now, as Jun-Yu arrives, two riders race on the Shanghai Tianma Circuit, raising dust as they try to overtake each other.

Shi-Han buys some items from a supermarket and enters a municipal village adjacent to Guolu Town. Guolu Town was famous for cherry blossoms. But amidst the green golden beauty of the countryside from the city, the fragrance of cherry blossoms brings even more joy to Shi-Han's mind. After some time, walking along the winding country road of the village, as Shi-Han enters the house of her destination, dark clouds of Baishakh gather in her mind.
On a bed with a bedsheet that has not been cleaned for almost 2 months, lies a 75-year-old elderly woman. Just like the bedsheet, the elderly woman's clothes are also dull. But Shi-Han's face turns dark not because of seeing the elderly woman. Next to the elderly woman, a middle-aged man is sitting on a wooden chair. And beside that middle-aged man, his modern wife is standing.
As soon as Shi-Han sees that middle-aged couple, her steps turn into stone. She does not make a mistake even for a moment in recognizing them; this couple is her maternal uncle and aunt. But she cannot understand why they have come to this old woman's hut. However, whatever the reason may be, Shi-Han realizes that they surely did not come with any good intention.
Elderly woman: Cheng-Hao, Meng-Yao, you! Why have you come here, dear? I thought my son Jian-Guo had come to see how I am, just once.
Meng-Yao: Madam Xiao-Lin, how many times do I have to tell you not to call us by name, call us Madam, Madam.
From hiding, at Elderly Woman Xiao-Lin's words, Shi-Han's eyes become wet. Jian-Guo was Shi-Han's father. Thinking that the elderly Xiao-Lin constantly waits with great eagerness to see even a glimpse of her son, tears roll down Shi-Han's cheeks. While speaking, the elderly woman gets up from lying down and sits.
Xiao-Lin: Meng-Yao, my dear, you are of the same age as my deceased daughter. Would it be a great wrong if I call you by your name?
Hearing the elderly woman's words, seeing Meng-Yao's facial expression, Cheng-Hao understands that his wife's face is as if it has ignited with fire due to the elderly woman's words.
Cheng-Hao: Madam Xiao-Lin, please forget these words. We have come to you from very far to seek help. Please cooperate with us a little.
Xiao-Lin: What help do you want?
Meng-Yao: We have come because you are the only one in this world whose words Shi-Han obeys. Please persuade Shi-Han to accept and marry our business partner's son Chen-Yu.
The elderly woman does not know who this boy Chen-Yu actually is or what he is like. But at the mention of such a proposal for her granddaughter, a smile overflows on the elderly woman's face. However, hearing this overflowing smile from hiding, it pierces Shi-Han's heart like a thorn. In a moment, Shi-Han's entire world seems to start turning upside down. Shi-Han widens her eyes and unconsciously says from hiding—
(No! No Grandma, please, without knowing everything, don't give such words to these two cunning people that I have to suffer all my life.)
Xiao-Lin: You are talking about such a small matter as if I have to become a shield in a war. Shi-Han has told me about that boy Chen-Yu.I will definitely tell Shi-Han your words.

Suddenly, Jun-Yu comes near the pit stop and enters the pit stop road from the track with his bike. Jun-Yu keeps the bike's speed at high speed and was ahead of Shu-Yang. Shu-Yang also was increasing his speed, trying to overtake Jun-Yu. Suddenly, when Jun-Yu returns from the track to the pit stop, he also brings his bike into the pit stop and parks the bike in front of Jun-Yu.
Shu-Yang: Hey, why did you bring the bike back to the pit stop?
After Jun-Yu's bike entered the pit stop, Jun-Yu had reduced the speed of the bike. Because of this, although Shu-Yang was behind Jun-Yu, he increased his speed and parked the bike before Jun-Yu. When he asked Jun-Yu the reason for stopping the bike, Jun-Yu removed his helmet, closed his eyes, shook his head, and then opened his eyes.
Jun-Yu: Where are you, Shu-Yang? I am seeing double.
Shu-Yang: After riding so much under the sun, you are probably tired.
Jun-Yu while getting down from the bike— Yeah, that must be it, my head is spinning a lot. Alright, you stay, I am going back to the apartment.
Shu-Yang: Wait, come inside the pit stop. Your driver has not arrived yet. Until your driver comes, tell me a little— which girl turned your dry desert into the rain of Shravan monsoon?
Jun-Yu: Look brother, I really do not feel good. Please stop saying these things, you know what kind of boy I am.
Shu-Yang: Alright, sorry. Come inside, I have a few things to tell you about racing.
At Shu-Yang's words, Jun-Yu enters the pit stop. Shu-Yang comes holding two water bottles, gives one water bottle to Jun-Yu and from the other drinks a sip of water—
Shu-Yang: Here, drink water. If you drink this, you will feel a bit better.
Jun-Yu extends his hand toward the water bottle— "Thank you".
😄😄Dear readers, look how powerful—and at times, how painful—love can be. Poor Jun-Yu is being chased even in his dreams by Shi-Han. Doesn't this mean Jun-Yu has also fallen for Shi-Han? Otherwise, why would he see her in his dreams? Isn't this the beginning of love—those feelings of affection?
One more thing: due to my workload, I uploaded Chapter 11 one day earlier than usual. But from now on, you will receive updates every 3 days, just like before, by 8 PM. Thank you so much, everyone.
