"Haha, alright! If you two can beat me, I'll let you go today."
"You..." Jian Dan looked at the girl wanting to say something.
"What? Weren't you quite brave just now? Scared now?"
"Who's scared? I just…"
"That's it then, let's go! Right now, we're grasshoppers on the same rope, all for one and one for all."
"En?"
"Don't you get it? It means no matter the outcome, we're in this together." The girl pulled Jian Dan's hand and followed along.
"What's it going to be? Decided on what to compete in today?"
"I originally wanted to race cars with you, but now that there are two of you, it's not just about racing anymore."
"No problem, we're not afraid of any challenge, you decide!"
Jian Dan did not see even a hint of worry on the girl's face.
"You're so sure you can win?" Jian Dan whispered into the girl's ear.
"Not at all!" The girl said casually.
"Then why did you just…" Jian Dan looked at the girl, surprised.
"It's called 'lose the battle, but not the war', get it?"
