Now!
The go-kart owner's mistake gave Jing Yi an instant opportunity.
Under her helmet, a flash of light passed through her previously calm eyes as she overtook him!
Jing Yi was the first to cross the finish line!
Jing Zejun widened his eyes in surprise and jumped up excitedly, "Big brother! Second brother! Yi Yi won! Yi Yi won!" Jing Zeyou's eyes were also full of joy and pride.
"Brother! Sister Jing Yi won!"
Wen Yin's face was flushed with excitement as he shook Wen Qingyan's arm.
On Wen Qingyan's other side, Jing Zeqian was equally excited, putting his arm around Wen Qingyan's shoulders and patting them forcefully, "Qingyan, isn't my sister amazing?!"
Wen Qingyan: ...
She is amazing, but could you guys let go of me before getting so excited?
On the track, Jing Yi's go-kart came to a stop. She took off her helmet, her dimples especially prominent as she smiled. She waved energetically at Jing Zejun and the others, her beautiful almond eyes shining with excitement!
Jing Zejun ran over with a smile, his expression elated as he gave Jing Yi a big hug.
"Yi Yi, you're so awesome!"
[Wasn't this supposed to be a professional-level race?]
[It got my blood pumping! Jing Yi Yi is so incredible!]
[So when Young Master Jing said Jing Yi was good at racing, he wasn't joking!]
[Unbelievable! Jing Yi Yi must have broken another record!]
At this moment, the owner also walked over. Though somewhat disappointed, he had to acknowledge Jing Yi's excellence. He smiled and extended his hand.
"Congratulations, you're truly amazing!"
Jing Yi's lips curved into a smile as she reached out to shake his hand. "Just lucky."
The owner chuckled lightly. He didn't think it was luck at all. He had held an enormous advantage, and even with his mistake at the end, it was still within his skill level.
As for Jing Yi, leaving aside her familiarity with the track, that final overtake alone had already surpassed him. Such composure and calmness truly made her a talent suited for racing.
"I wonder if you'd be willing to join my racing team. Our team is..." The owner enthusiastically introduced his team, including the awards they'd won in various competitions, their sponsorships, and year-end bonuses.
"What do you think?"
Jing Zeqian stood with his arms folded, watching Jing Yi's awkward expression without any intention of coming to her rescue. If these things the go-kart owner was saying couldn't even attract him, how could they appeal to Jing Yi?
Jing Yi laughed awkwardly a few times. "I'm sorry, sir, but I'm actually not very good at F1. Thank you for the offer."
The owner's pupils widened slightly in surprise and confusion, with a hint of disappointment. But since she had already refused, he didn't push further.
[Haha, the owner looks so disappointed!]
[She's so good that the team owner wanted to recruit her, can you believe it?]
[Although, the resources the owner is offering probably aren't up to par for the Jing family heiress.]
[At least Young Master Jing probably wouldn't be impressed. I heard he invested in his own racing track. In terms of resources, no one can probably offer more than him.]
Meanwhile, on social media, footage of Jing Yi's race appeared in the trending topics. As netizens discussed it enthusiastically, it added even more popularity to the reality show "Dear Family."
After politely declining the owner's offer, Jing Yi and her group returned to their beachside camp.
Even until the evening, Jing Yi's smile hadn't faded, with netizens joking about her good mood.
After dinner, several of them lay down on the beach - to be precise, Jing Yi, Jing Zejun, and Wen Yin lay on the beach, while the other three sat in lounge chairs.
At night, moonlight bathed the earth. The coastal waters glowed with a blue phosphorescence, like scattered diamonds in the sea, creating a dreamlike scene.
In the distance, gentle waves lapped against the rocks, producing a melodious sound, as if the ocean was playing a tender melody for those in the night.
A few people were scattered here and there on the beach, with several wooden lounge chairs in the corner where Jing Zeyou and the other two were resting.
Next to the wooden chairs, a thin beach blanket was spread out, where Jing Yi and Jing Zejun were lying. Wen Yin was lying next to Wen Qingyan's chair.
Looking up, countless stars illuminated the entire night sky. They emitted a soft glow, twinkling like jewels.
The current tranquility and comfort made even the online viewers unconsciously start to enjoy the moment.
It was only because Jing Yi and the others had gotten a bit tired from playing earlier, otherwise they'd probably still be frolicking by the shore.
Jing Yi pointed at the star-filled sky, "So the sky on a starry night is dark blue." It was like a dark blue velvet blanket.
Jing Zejun was also captivated by this scenery, lost in the beautiful view.
"It's a good thing we didn't just stay at home." Jing Yi's eyes sparkled, her dimples showing as she smiled. "Shouldn't we be making wishes now?"
Jing Zeqian, who was leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed, heard Jing Yi's words and scoffed, "What wish are you going to make to the stars? Will they grant it for you?" They'd be better off using that time to make a wish to him or Jing Zeyou - that way it would be more likely to come true.
Jing Yi sat up and glared at Jing Zeqian. "This is about romance!"
[Always raining on other people's parades!]
Jing Zeqian shrugged. If that's what she thought, so be it.
Jing Yi turned to Jing Zeyou with a smile. "Big brother, what do you want to wish for?"
Actually, Jing Zeyou's thoughts were similar to Jing Zeqian's. To him, making wishes was impractical - in the time it took to make a wish, he could just make it happen himself.
But since his sister asked, he couldn't not answer. "For my family to be healthy." This was the only wish that couldn't be 100% guaranteed with money or status.
Jing Yi then looked at Wen Qingyan beside him. Wen Qingyan hesitated for a moment before saying with a gentle smile, "I hope that wherever the people I care about go, they'll be surrounded by sunshine."
[Mr. Wen is so smooth!]
Jing Yi secretly glanced at Jing Zejun.
Jing Zejun felt his ears burn from Wen Qingyan's gaze. Seeing Jing Yi look over as well, he lightly tapped her shoulder, signaling her to restrain herself.
Jing Yi had to suppress her gossipy heart and asked, "What about Xiao Yin?"
Wen Yin smiled shyly. "I hope that my beloved family and the person I like will all be healthy and well." Jing Yi's eyes lit up. "So Xiao Yin already has someone he likes?"
Wen Yin froze for a moment, then his face turned red, looking flustered. Jing Yi didn't tease him further and turned to Jing Zejun.
Jing Zejun said softly, "I hope I can become the person I want to be." Jing Yi immediately responded, "Of course you can! You're Jing Zejun!"
Jing Zejun smiled at Jing Yi, secretly making another wish: He also hoped that Yi Yi could grow freely and be as free as the wind.
"Then I wish..." Jing Yi closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and entered wishing mode.
"Jing Yi Yi, didn't you forget someone?!"
Jing Zeqian had been waiting for her to ask him, but after going around the circle, she excitedly started preparing to make her own wish.
