Chi Gui gave a faint response, “And then?”
With that, Shen Yun understood. “Nothing much, just called to check on your physical and mental health, boss!”
After chatting briefly, Chi Gui hung up the phone, washed up, and went to sleep.
Su Niannian, Chu Jia, and Yi Rui made further adjustments based on Chi Gui’s advice, and by the time they finished, it was already nine in the evening.
“Although Sister Chi rarely participates, her help each time is so significant!” Chu Jia stretched lazily.
Yi Rui followed with a laugh: “Sister Chi not only helps us but also lets us think independently to finish it. Our abilities have improved greatly… Honestly, if she weren’t just 23 years old, I would suspect she’s actually a teacher sent by Principal Lin!”
The group chatted as they left the school and headed home.
Yi Rui, looking at the notes on her phone, accidentally bumped into someone.
“Ah, sorry!” she quickly apologized, and when she looked up, she was slightly surprised. “Ding Xuan? Why haven’t you gone home so late?”
In the dim night, Ding Xuan’s expression was somewhat indistinct. She glanced at Yi Rui’s phone and said with a smile, “It’s nothing, I just wanted to thank you guys for standing up for me that time. Let me take you out for a meal!”
Yi Rui frowned slightly and instinctively wanted to refuse, but Ding Xuan didn’t wait for her to speak and continued talking eagerly.
In the end, Yi Rui couldn’t refuse and followed her into the restaurant next door.
Ten o’clock in the morning.
Chi Gui arrived on time at the location she had arranged with Chi Mingkun.
Xinggu followed behind her, maintaining a certain distance: close enough not to disturb her but also close enough to protect her at a moment’s notice.
As soon as Chi Mingkun saw Chi Gui approaching, he anxiously said, “Sister Chi, how much longer until your friend arrives? The race is about to start!”
Chi Gui reassured Chi Mingkun a bit, took out her phone, and confirmed the time with Lu You, “He and his team will be here in ten minutes.”
Hearing Chi Gui say this, Chi Mingkun finally felt somewhat relieved.
Not far away was Zhang Ziyi’s racing team.
This time he didn’t bring too many people, just those top four nationally ranked racers, a row of excellently modified luxury cars, whose presence alone was several times more imposing than that on Chi Mingkun’s side.
Chi Gui’s dark apricot eyes lightly swept over those luxury cars, and she admired aloud, “The cars are well modified; there’s some real skill there.”
“Come on, Sister, don’t praise the other side now…” Chi Mingkun nearly cried, he wouldn’t be able to touch race cars again if he lost!
Chi Gui’s slender fingers tapped his shoulder, her eyes calm and indifferent: “Don’t be afraid; I’m here. There won’t be any problems.”
On Zhang Ziyi’s side, he was also chatting with the four racers.
“That pretty woman with a great demeanor,” Zhang Ziyi pointed at Chi Gui, “In the entire team, you just need to watch her, the others are all trash who can’t even beat me.”
Lin Ziyang glanced in the direction he was pointing and laughed: “Seeing her all quiet and poised, she doesn’t look like she’s good at racing. You probably lost to her because you weren’t familiar with the roads, right?”
The other three also laughed, clearly agreeing with Lin Ziyang’s words.
After all, the last race was near Nancheng, so it was normal for Zhang Ziyi not to know the roads well.
Zhang Ziyi couldn’t really tell if it was unfamiliarity with the roads or if he was completely outclassed by Chi Gui’s skills.
But Lin Ziyang’s words obviously comforted him quite a bit, so he accepted them.
“Alright, the race is about to start, we should go greet our opponents.” Lin Ziyang flung his leather jacket over his shoulder and walked toward Chi Gui and the others.
