Chapter 454: The Setup is Unfair
....Translator: _Min_ |
Meng Zhi ruffled Gu Dai’s hair with a proud smile, “Daidai, I got first place. Was I handsome just now?”
Gu Dai nodded with a slight sense of resignation, agreeing, “Handsome, extremely handsome. I was almost dazzled.”
Upon seeing Meng Zhi, s.h.i.+ Nuan nervously hid behind Gu Dai.
Gu Dai gently pulled s.h.i.+ Nuan forward, smiling at Meng Zhi, “Nuannuan also thinks you were very handsome in the race. She was cheering for you the whole time.”
s.h.i.+ Nuan’s cheeks reddened with nervousness, and she waved her hands frantically, denying, “No, no…”
Meng Zhi pretended to be heartbroken, “I knew Daidai was fooling me. Even Miss s.h.i.+ is denying it.”
Hearing this, s.h.i.+ Nuan’s heart fluttered with more anxiety.
Gu Dai handed s.h.i.+ Nuan a bottle of water, and said to Meng Zhi, “Nuannuan is just shy. Don’t tease her, Third Brother.”
Meng Zhi nodded with a smile, “Alright.”
He turned to s.h.i.+ Nuan, whose cheeks were rosy, and asked softly, “Little
Nuannuan, did you think I was handsome?”
s.h.i.+ Nuan hurriedly responded, “Handsome, very, very handsome.”
After her response, she quickly added, “Really!”
When Lin Mo and Xia Yi approached, they saw this cheerful scene.
Their steps faltered, and a look of bewilderment crossed their faces. They walked up to Meng Zhi, asking in confusion, “Meng Zhi, do you know them?”
Meng Zhi replied with a smile, “Of course, I know them. Gu Dai is my younger sister, and s.h.i.+ Nuan is Daidai’s friend, almost like another sister to me.”
After saying this, he turned to Gu Dai, “The race is over. Let’s go grab something to eat.”
Gu Dai shook her head, declining, “I still have a race with Miss Lin Mo. Let’s eat after that.”
Meng Zhi agreed, “Okay.”
Lin Mo panicked. She hadn’t expected Gu Dai and Meng Zhi to be siblings. She glanced at Xia Yi, who was trembling slightly, and glared at her in anger for persuading her to accept the race.
Xia Yi, trying to salvage the situation, stepped forward, “Our racing skills aren’t that great. Maybe it would be fairer if we raced against s.h.i.+ Nuan.”
Gu Dai’s eyes narrowed slightly, “So, you mean all three of you will race together?”
Xia Yi nodded, “Yes. If either Lin Mo or I win against s.h.i.+ Nuan, then we win.”
Gu Dai scoffed coldly, “I’ve never seen such audacity. We agreed to race against each other, and there’s no changing partic.i.p.ants now.”
Xia Yi, acting petulant, “If we don’t change partic.i.p.ants, then we won’t race.”
Gu Dai was furious, wanting to lash out.
s.h.i.+ Nuan held Gu Dai’s hand, “Daidai, if they want to race against me, then let them.”
Gu Dai was worried, “But…”
s.h.i.+ Nuan shook her head, “It’s okay, I think I can do this.”
Seizing the opportunity, Xia Yi quickly said, “Since s.h.i.+ Nuan herself has agreed, let’s have a three-way race.”
Meng Zhi, unaware of the prior events, objected, “This setup isn’t fair, even if s.h.i.+ Nuan agrees.”
s.h.i.+ Nuan, knowing Meng Zhi was only referring to the race setup, smiled softly and shook her head, “It’s okay, I’m confident.”
Lin Mo hurriedly informed the organizers about the extra race, and they found it interesting enough to agree.
Gu Dai carefully adjusted s.h.i.+ Nuan’s racing suit, reminding her before she left, “Nuannuan, this race is inherently unfair, so losing doesn’t mean anything. Just make sure you’re safe.”
s.h.i.+ Nuan obediently responded, “Okay.”
Meng Zhi also advised, “Remember, safety is most important.”
s.h.i.+ Nuan, slightly startled, nodded in understanding, “I know.”
The three racers reached the track and took their positions in the cars.
The audience, unfamiliar with the racers, was still excited to see the additional race. Everyone’s eyes were on the track.
Gu Dai cheered for s.h.i.+ Nuan, shouting, “Go Nuannuan!”
Hearing the cheer, s.h.i.+ Nuan turned to Gu Dai, waving her hand in acknowledgment before responding, “Okay!”
s.h.i.+ Nuan glanced at Lin Mo and Xia Yi on either side, focusing intently. As the referee signaled the start, she quickly drove off.
Though she had watched many races and had some driving experience, it was all just for fun. This was her first compet.i.tive race, causing her to feel nervous at every turn..
