The Urban Dao Child

After the meal and talking with Feng Yun. Yang Dao helped Lisa with the dishes and was about to walk back to his own room when the maid said, "Young Master, can you help me with mathematics?"

Yang Dao was surprised and then he smiled. Seems like the girl has taken interest in Mathematics. He nodded and after the chores. He helped her with her studies as he read some of his own course books. The two people continued for a couple of hours and then they both went to their own rooms for the night.

The dao child did not go to sleep but started to meditate and deepen his knowledge about the wind element as his body drunk the source energy in the surroundings. He was immersed in this state for a whole night. The next morning he woke up when the sun lit up the horizon and the bright rays were reflected on his face.

Despite not sleeping for a night Yang Dao did not feel tired or sluggish. On the contrary, he was quite hyped up. The boy freshened up, took a once bath. He shampooed his hair and gave them a flick. He liked to flick his hair around when they were wet. he felt satisfied with it. Followed by a nod to approve of himself the boy walked to the cloakroom. He selected the King Of Mountain jersey to drape around today.

Coming out of his room he saw that Lisa has also woken up and was preparing breakfast for him. He sat down at the dining table while catching up with the news on his mobile phone. The economic news had an article about Dao Technologies' sudden rise. Some analysts even questioned if the company could keep up with the pace of its growth. The boy shook his head and dismissed the negative vibes.

Lisa came out with two plates in her hand. She said, "Young master, double egg cheese scramble as well as fruit salad. All prescribed by the doctor for your nutrition. Please taste them." her bell-like voice made people feel happy. Plus that soft smile on her face.

Yang Dao shook his head and said as he picked up a pair of chopsticks, "You people are too systematic for food. I will have a conversation with Sister Yun." despite this, he ate the meal with a smile on his face.

He said, "Lisa, starting today make me protein-rich meals. I will be resuming my cycling club starting today. Also, tell me if we lack any groceries I will shop in the evening. A friend might be coming over."  his voice was soft and calm.

With that said, he went out on the balcony, gazed at his shining black bike. He mumbled as he held the handle in his hands, "Let's go, partner."

This was his first vehicle so he had a certain attachment to this bike. The boy pushed the bike out of the house and waved to Lisa. They were both teenagers so this was a normal gesture. He got inside the elevator with a bike. On his back rested his bag, while he tied the helmet to his head.

Yang Dao rode the bike and rushed out of the parking lot. The guards at the gate of the residency saw him rushing out on a bike and talked among themselves.

"Do you notice that Young master smiles more when he is riding the bike?"

Another guy said, "I don't know about his smile but yes, I do like him riding the bike instead of that monster car." the people chuckled. They were all scared when they saw Quinn passing by.

...

Unaware of all this the boy was riding his bike on the road with a smile on his face. His smile was content and his eyes were sharp. He had the wind around him moving like a radar. This was necessary for his own safety and it was a good habit. As he was riding he sensed the mobile in his bike vibrate.

Parked the bike at the side of the road and took out the phone, the caller was Icarus. Yang Dai accepted the call and asked, "Yes."

Icarus replied with a question, "You are riding to the college today right? How about riding together."  judging from his tone this guy has just woken up.

Yang Dao took a jab at him, "I am sorry Young Master Stern, the plebian is already ten minutes away from the campus. See you later, lazy ass."

Icarus became alert all of a sudden, "What the fuck. You traitor. You want to steal senior Ayaka from me."

The Dao child laughed, he said, "Do I need to put in the effort? Given the charm of the plebian it is only a matter of time." he acted cocky on purpose.

Icarus screamed, "You wait for me Yang Dao. I will break your ass to pieces." the call disconnected, it was evident that Icarus was rushing to get ready and come over.

Yang Dao shook his head and rode his bike back to the college. he parked it in front of the clubhouse and knocked on the door. It seemed that he was the first one here. He waited for a few minutes when Ayaka Gust rode over on her bike. She was surprised to see Yang dao already waiting.

She said, "I did not expect anyone to come so early. How are you doing dao? The injury is healed?"

Yang Dao nodded and replied, "I am all healed now, coach. How is senior Tim?"

Ayaka shook her head, "he is the hospital. Will stay there for a few more days. The doctor has forbidden him from riding a bike until he is completely recovered. Well, it's okay. Sometimes such accidents happen, it shows that he was dedicated and enthusiastic about the coming competition. Yet, too much of everything is bad too."

Yang Dao nodded as he heard her words. He came across Frieda yesterday who was the same. Too dedicated to her work that it made her restless if it is not done. Shaking his head he asked, "Coach, do we have morning practice?"

Ayaka nodded and said, "You will be running the circuit with me. I need to know the extent of your skills before I can give you any advice."

Yang Dao nodded and asked, "How about we do it now? It will be a waste of time before the others come."

Ayaka pondered for a bit and then she nodded. The two people placed their bags inside the clubhouse, that has been unlocked by Ayaka. She was the coach and held the spare key other than the captain. The two people then rode their bikes to the circuit of the mechanical engineering branch.

As they were riding the rest of the club also arrived and joined in. Icarus, however, cast a stink glare at his best friend. He believed that Yang Dao was actually interested in Ayaka. Thus, he started to ride with more enthusiasm.

Ayaka noticed this and said to him, "|Icarus, why are you riding at such a high pace. Do you not remember what happened to TIM. Calm down a bit." her words woke up Icarus. He slowed down and said, "I am sorry, coach, I was rage riding."

Ayaka shook her head and passed him. Yang Dao whispered to Icarus, "I am not interested in her you doofus. Can you calm down now?"

Icarus was surprised at this and watched the boy passing him in a daze, but later his eyes were filled with tears and a smile surfaced on his face. He mumbled, "Dao, you are a true friend. Even sacrificed your love for me."

...

The practice came to an end and Ayaka advised Yang Dao about a few things that he should avoid while riding in an official competition. Such as his close cornering skills. They might lead to a major accident. At least not until the moment when they are competing for the finish line.

The boy nodded and they dispersed. He met Kiya in the classroom and invited her and Sasha to his place for dinner. Then he went to the library, to meet Frieda and helped her with her project. It was sunset when the two people left the library. Frieda was still restless, but it was not to the point where she would beg Yang Dao.

The progress of her project was proof enough to make her correct her ways. The change was slow but then again, late is better than never. The boy went back to the club for evening practice and this time he rode with all the advice Ayaka gave him in his mind.

After the practice, Kiya and Sasha took off with him. The two girls also bought bikes for themselves. Last time when Yang Dao had to push his bike because the two had none, they decided to get one for themselves. The recent influence of the cycling club made them buy road racers. This week they have been practicing diligently.

Kiya was surely crushing on Yang Dao while Sasha was still unclear about the matters of her heart.
