Chapter 108: Chapter 107: He is about to overtake soon
The barrage also surged in an instant.
Everyone was exclaiming that this was impossible! Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novel[f]ire.net
Lu You was ranked among the top five globally for both his skills and popularity as a racer, how could he be outperformed by an unknown racer?!
Some people at the scene also spoke sarcastically, “Hah, I guess Lu You’s fame is all just hype, right? A globally top five racer getting completely crushed by a domestically mediocre racer—it’d be a joke if word got out!”
The girl was biting her lip tightly, unwilling to accept their ridicule, “Doesn’t everyone have off days?”
“If he really had top five global skills, even on an off day, he’d still be more than capable of surpassing this level of racer!” The man sneered, “If you’ve got the skills, let him overtake someone and then talk!”
“You!” The girl was left speechless by the retort.
In the barrage, fans and critics were arguing nonstop.
Just as she was getting anxious, suddenly a calm and gentle voice said from beside her, “He’s going to overtake soon.”
The girl was startled and turned around, only to see Chi Gui calmly watching the track, completely ignoring them.
The mocking man heard what Chi Gui said and laughed, “Just because you say he’ll overtake, he will? Huh, if he could really pass the car ahead, why didn’t he seize so many good opportunities before?”
The live stream from the phone didn’t pick up sound, but Chi Gui’s and the man’s conversation were all recorded.
The barrage quickly filled up—
[Agree with the passerby bro! Fans trying to salvage his reputation, what’s the point?]
[Waiting to see the face-slap!]
Coming to a curve, Lu You’s previously restrained car suddenly accelerated with a highly difficult cornering technique, instantly passing the leading car.
By the time they exited the curve, Lu You’s car had left the opponent far behind.
The entire process took just two seconds, nobody had even realized it, the girl was stunned, and the live room fell into complete silence.
It wasn’t until Lu You’s car completely moved out of the phone’s filming range that the girl screamed out, “Ah ah ah! Did everyone see that? Brother Lu’s corner overtaking was so awesome just now! That’s Brother Lu showing off his skills without worries!”
The barrage became lively again.
But compared to Lu You, everyone’s focus was on—
[Whose was that beautiful soothing voice just now?! She’s so amazing, able to predict the car’s movement!]
[Exactly! Definitely a racing guru!]
[Where are those waiting to see a face-slap? Come out, she just met your expectations, shouldn’t you say thank you?]
The girl looked at the barrage and only then realized, hurriedly turned her head to find Chi Gui, only to discover that he had left without her noticing.
She felt a sudden sense of loss.
When Chi Gui reached the parking lot, he received a call from Lu You.
“How was it? Was I cool or what?” Lu You’s hearty voice was filled with bragging, “Was that corner overtaking just now totally awesome?”
Chi Gui: “If you could stop messing around when facing boring opponents, you would have been promoted to the world number one long ago.”
Lu You laughed, “Man, the money I earn being in fifth place is enough to splurge through life, why trouble myself fighting for first place!”
He’s someone who acts capriciously because of his talent.
Sometimes Chi Gui wondered, maybe his friendship with Lu You came about because they resembled each other in this way.
The rally racing venue wasn’t in Nancheng; when Chi Gui returned home, it was already six in the evening.
He happened to meet Fu Si who had also just returned.
His figure was tall and slender, draped in a black thin overcoat, underneath which was a clean white shirt and black suit trousers, one hand in his pocket, against the light, the whole person looked refined and noble like a young master of a wealthy family from the Republic of China era.
Seeing Chi Gui, his phoenix eyes slightly curved behind his glasses, his thin lips curling into a smile, his voice as elegant and mellow as a harp, “Good afternoon, Chi!”
Chi Gui politely replied, “Good afternoon.”
Fu Si glanced at his wristwatch, raising an eyebrow slightly, “Not yet school dismissal time today?”
“Right.” Chi Gui responded indifferently, “I didn’t have classes in the afternoon, went to watch the race.”
