Chapter 1144 – Overconfidence Kills The Best Of You.
The race didn't last for long. Before people could know, Li Xue was back completing the finishing line. And when she entered, people around were all dumbfounded. Of course, none of them expected her to be the winner.
But it was definitely their fault to expect in the wrong way. Who asked them to think of her as the weak? Her façade was all clear, it was their overconfidence who didn't allow them to see her properly.
"Who is she? Did she really defeat Guan Zai?" Someone from the crowd asked when he saw Li Xue stopping her bike in the distance.
"It seems like that. She even defeated Guan Zai, she must be a witch."
"Guan Zai knows several ways to win the race. How did she manage to get here as a winner?"
"Yes, I still remember that the last time when You Jun challenged him of this game, he was almost sent off the cliff. Lucky him that he had some good grip and skills of the bike, otherwise when that happened, it was so scary. I can't dare think of the consequences."
People whispered to one another as they saw Li Xue slowly opening her headgear. Her silky chocolate brown hair fell over her shoulders. That look itself was pretty, for a moment mesmerizing almost everyone at the spot. She looked like any simple beautiful girl that most of the high family held, but her charms still looked a lot different than others. That's why even after covering her face with a mask, she was still able to attract everyone's attention towards her.
"So how was it? Did you like the ride?" Li Xue asked, angling the rear mirror in a way to see Shin You Jun's face on it. Her brows slowly quirked up at him in askance.
But Shin You Jun didn't reply. Instead, he got off the bike to stare at her face with the accusation. "Do you really want to ask that? What were you doing on the bike? There is nothing that I thought to learn. You rode the bike with just some basic skills. Why? Is it for I was sitting behind you?"
Li Xue pursed her lips. "What would I gain with that? There is nothing like that. You are just over-thinking". She said but You Jun didn't believe it.
"Overthinking? Then tell me why were you so simple on the bike today? I felt that you were simply killing time before winning the race."
He said and Li Xue shook her head. "You are my brother, not my enemy that I would play tricks on you. That was a simple race so I won it by simple methods. But I can't believe that even in my simple ways there was nothing you found interesting and worthy to learn." She said and Shin You Jun still didn't believe.
"Heh, you are making reasons now. You were clearly better last time."
"Aye, it's so simple, can't you understand it. A biker's skills change according to the opponents he faces. Why would one waste their skills and efforts when it is simply not needed? Won't be a waste." Li Xue doesn't want to say this on the face of the boy. Praises like this would clearly make him fly in the sky and she wanted him to stay on the ground. But he was just too stubborn to accept that.
Shin You Jun blinked as he stared at Li Xue wide-eyed. "Wait, do you mean to say that while countering me that way, you found me to be a strong one? Really?"
"I can't say that with more simpler words." She said and with her words like that, the boy was already in the seventh sky.
"So, you mean to say that on that night you believed that for a moment, you would have lost if I have been a bit better."
Li Xue pursed her lips. "You don't have to exaggerate much. You can't get better than me because when you improve, I would improve as well, and that way, you would still be behind me." She said but Shin You Ju shook his head.
"Hey, who wants to exceed you? I am already happy to know that you thought of me as a little less better than you. The rest is alright." He said brimming with happiness.
And Li Xue could no longer bother with him. She titled slightly only to find Guan Zai coming with his bike. Behind her mask, her lips tugged into a smirk when she saw the expression on his face. She was satisfied but her satisfaction was not something for which she worked, instead, it was for the happiness of the boy.
But if she had known that his happiness was so easy to come, she wouldn't have wasted her time. She shook her head as she gestured to him to look at the boy appearing back in the picture.
Shin You Jun followed her gaze and his lips pulled up in a smirk. "Guan Zai, so how was it?" He asked and the boy just glared at him, before turning to look at Li Xue to say.
"You tricked me?"
Li Xue's brows got raised before shrugging off her shoulders at him. "When did I do that? I don't remember."
Guan Zai's expression hardened. "You little girl, you clearly feigned innocence at the start of the match. Now, how are you so different? If not the trick, what do you think it was to make me believe in thinking you weak." He said but Li Xue just chuckled out at his words.
"Haha … but I don't remember asking you to believe that. Wasn't it your overconfidence that is to be blamed?" She said and Guan Zai felt his nerve aching at her words.
"You …" He was ready to say something harsh, but before he could, Shin You Jun came at the front to interject in his usual popular tone.
"I have told you before Guan Zai but you never paid any heed. Today again here again I will repeat – Overconfidence kills the best of you so don't let it overpower you." He said before reaching out to pat his shoulders, before adding, "And now that the race is over and my sister has played well, we would leave. Have a satisfying day."
He spoke and then turned to Li Xue to say with all respect and politeness, stunning everyone around, "Elder Sister, you had something important to talk to me.. Let's go somewhere else to do that."
