Translator: _Min_ |
Seeing Shi Nuan and Gu Dai silent, Xia Yi’s face lit up with a smirk. She continued, “Just by looking at you, I can tell neither of you fools know anything about racing.”
Shi Nuan originally didn’t want to respond to Xia Yi. However, it was one thing to insult her, but Xia Yi had also insulted Gu Dai.
Her expression turned cold as she spoke firmly, “I advise you to speak more respectfully, or don’t blame me for being rude.”
Xia Yi scoffed with a laugh, “I’d like to see how you can be rude to me.”
Shi Nuan’s gaze was icy as she clenched her fists, staring at Xia Yi.
Seeing Shi Nuan’s posture, Xia Yi rolled her eyes, “What, you want to hit me?”
Just as Shi Nuan’s arm slowly raised, seemingly about to throw a punch, she was stopped midway.
Gu Dai spoke softly, “Nuannuan, let’s focus on the race for now. Don’t be impulsive.”
At that moment, a graceful woman approached Xia Yi with a smile, “What are you doing here? Why aren’t you back watching the race?”
Xia Yi’s eyes brightened. She grabbed Lin Mo’s arm and said cheerfully, “Momo, I ran into two people who know nothing about racing yet came to watch. I couldn’t help but say a few words, and then this Shi Nuan wanted to hit me.”
Upon seeing Lin Mo, Shi Nuan’s face turned pale. She recognized her immediately as the woman who had been trending online with Meng Zhi.
Gu Dai looked at Shi Nuan with concern.
After hearing Xia Yi’s words, Lin Mo turned to look at Gu Dai and was surprised, “You are Miss Gu?”
Gu Dai didn’t speak but nodded slightly, affirming her identity.
Xia Yi, recalling a recent trending topic online, met Gu Dai’s gaze. Remembering her earlier words, a flash of panic crossed her eyes.
Lin Mo spoke with a smile, “Even though you are Miss Gu, what Xia Yi said about you not understanding racing is true. There was no need for physical altercation.”
Shi Nuan, angered, retorted, “Xia Yi was insulting us!”
Lin Mo’s smile remained, “Even if it was an insult, you shouldn’t have resorted to violence. What Xia Yi said is true; you are fools that know nothing about racing.”
Gu Dai’s lips curled into a smile, though it didn’t reach her eyes, “Miss Lin seems to know exactly what Xia Yi said. It appears you’ve been watching this drama for quite some time.”
Lin Mo didn’t deny it, “Indeed, for quite a long time.”
Gu Dai chuckled coldly, then proposed, “Since you seem to know so much about cars, how about we have a race later? If you win, I’ll have no objections to being called a fool. But if I win, doesn’t that mean you’re even less than a fool?”
Lin Mo was cautious, sensing a potential trick.
Seeing this, Xia Yi quickly chimed in, “Momo, your racing skills were personally taught by Meng Zhi. You can definitely beat them. Accept the challenge, otherwise, it would seem like we are less than fools.”
Lin Mo nodded, looking at Gu Dai, “Fine, I accept your challenge. But be warned, my racing skills are exceptional. Don’t blame me if you end up crying after losing.”
Gu Dai’s lips twitched, replying calmly, “I’d like to say the same to you.”
The announcer’s voice came over the speakers, “The racing event is about to start. Please return to your seats and focus on the race.”
Lin Mo left them with a parting comment, “We’ll race after this event is over.”
Gu Dai smiled in agreement, “Of course.”
Shi Nuan looked at Gu Dai worriedly, “Daidai, are you sure you can do this?”
Gu Dai replied with confidence, “Of course, I can. Have you forgotten my skills?”
Shi Nuan recalled Gu Dai’s racing prowess, her worries easing as she spoke excitedly, “Daidai, your skills are on par with Brother Meng Zhi. You’re sure to win.”
Gu Dai nodded and then teased, “Aren’t you going to focus on Third Brother’s race?”
Shi Nuan blushed, her gaze involuntarily drifting towards the track.
Meng Zhi, clad in a red and black racing suit, his hair fluttering in the wind revealing his forehead, looked spirited and commanding, drawing everyone’s attention.
As the race started with the referee’s signal, Meng Zhi’s expression turned serious. He drove off swiftly, leaving the others far behind.
Shi Nuan couldn’t help but cheer for him, her cheeks flushed with excitement. Her heart raced until Meng Zhi won, and only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
She grabbed Gu Dai’s arm, jumping with joy, “Daidai, Brother Meng Zhi won!”
Gu Dai nodded, smiling, “Not only did he win, but he’s also coming our way..”
