The strong wind howled in her ears. Ichiko's voice wasn't loud, and much of it was even drowned out by the wind, but Haruko still heard it clearly.
Once a person is close to despair, they will reveal their true feelings.
When Ichiko said something like that, did it mean she also liked me?
No, she has always liked me.
And she often says things like this.
For some reason, even though the situation was extremely critical, to the point where life and death depended on luck.
Haruko didn't feel panicked at all.
Those few words echoing in her ears shattered the danger, turning it into an illusion.
After all, I am just a supporting character whose cannon fodder fate is difficult to change.
So, just rely on her to your heart's content.
The sports car didn't slow down; instead, it got faster and faster.
Before she knew it, they had already started driving up the arch bridge's incline, less than a hundred meters from the broken bridge!
The pursuers behind them seemed to have sensed Ichiko's intention. The gunfire that had quieted down started again.
Ping-pong sounds hit the car's rear hood. Ichiko's eyes were firm. After glancing at Haruko's tightly fastened seatbelt, she shouted, "Haruko, hold on tight!"
Accelerator.
Floor it!
The roar of the sports car reached its peak. The strong wind, rain, and fine snow hitting her face were painful. Haruko felt like her heart was about to jump out at this moment.
70 meters.
50 meters.
30 meters.
The other side of the broken bridge gradually appeared before her eyes. Several safety signs stood to the side, seemingly because it was impassable. In the distance, she could still see police cars with sirens leaving.
In such a narrow space, no one knew if the sports car could land safely.
Or perhaps, it wouldn't even fly to the other side of the bridge at all.
There are some words that, if not spoken, might never have another chance.
"Tao…"
Haruko had only said one word when a dull "bang" sounded from behind, causing the entire car to start skidding left and right.
One of the rear tires had been shot out!
But the car, at this moment, also shot into the air with tremendous power!
Reflected in the center of that full moon, Haruko felt as if the entire world had fallen silent.
Ichiko was very nervous, her hands gripping the steering wheel trembling non-stop.
Even so, her eyes remained resolute, as if she had already made some kind of resolve.
The howling strong wind and the gunfire from behind seemed to enter slow motion.
Haruko turned her head to look at Ichiko, "Ichiko!"
She shouted loudly, causing Ichiko to turn her head to look.
The wind had already blown away her hair tie, and her scattered beautiful hair danced wildly, making her look so cool and unrestrained.
Haruko gently let out a breath, opened her mouth, and said, "Ichiko, can you be my girlfriend?"
The sports car flew through the air, looking from a distance as if it was about to merge into the moon in the sky.
The words of confession full of love were finally spoken.
But before she could get a response, the vehicle instantly entered a violent collision and bump.
The car flew over!
The moment it hit the ground, even with the seatbelt, Haruko still felt like she was going to fly out!
Ichiko slammed on the brakes, and she turned the steering wheel quickly as well.
But one of the rear tires had already been blown out before they drove into the air.
The sports car was like being held and violently thrown. After reaching the other side of the bridge, it spun around completely twice along the road surface.
With a "thud," a huge thrust struck.
The sports car crashed to a stop near the girder, smoke coming from the front.
Besides the physiological nausea and urge to vomit, Haruko also felt a dull headache.
She quickly turned her head to look, "Ichiko, are you okay!"
"I… I'm okay!"
Ichiko covered her head with her left hand, only feeling the wetness in her palm. The blurriness in front of her gradually cleared, meeting Haruko's concerned and relieved expression.
Naturally, there were also tears from surviving the ordeal.
"Did we make it out alive?"
Ichiko covered her forehead, which had hit the window and steering wheel. Her heart, which had calmed down after making a resolve, felt like it was about to jump into her throat at this moment.
