In the sports car, Shen Xi clapped her hands and laughed, "You were so cool just now! Those two guys' faces turned green!"
She couldn't help but feel elated every time she thought of the expressions on those two men's faces.
Jing Yi gripped the steering wheel, the corners of his mouth slightly raised as he kept his eyes on the road. "Just enjoy the feeling for now. This car actually belongs to Jing Zeyou. I'm only borrowing it for a quick drive."
Shen Xi didn't care, as long as they had saved face, it didn't matter whose car it was. "So what? You're still very handsome, okay!"
She looked at the car's interior. Although she wasn't sure of its price, just by looking at it, she knew it must be very expensive!
Shen Xi sighed, "Yi Yi, if we're talking about this level of luxury, my family probably couldn't afford to keep you..."
"Huh?"
Jing Yi was a bit confused, but they quickly reached their destination, so she didn't ask further.
......
"Big brother? You're off work so early today?"
After parting ways with Shen Xi, Jing Yi returned to the Jing family home. Seeing both Jing Zeyou and Jing Zeqian there, she was a bit surprised.
Jing Zeqian, also sitting on the sofa, was displeased. He deliberately coughed a few times to attract Jing Yi's attention.
Jing Yi ignored him and started chatting with Jing Zeyou.
It was Jing Zeqian who lost his patience first. "What's this? Am I so invisible that Miss Jing doesn't even see me sitting here?"
[Here we go again!]
Usually, Jing Yi would have already started 'arguing' with Jing Zeqian, but today she had just met with an old friend, so she was in a good mood.
[I'm in a good mood today, so I won't bother with you.]
Jing Yi put on an obedient smile, her lips curving upwards, "Second brother!"
Jing Zeqian was taken aback. It seemed her mood wasn't just good, it was excellent. She didn't even snap back at him?
Jing Zeyou's lips curved slightly, "Work finished early today. Have you eaten?"
Jing Yi nodded with a smile, the dimple in her cheek becoming more pronounced.
Seeing the two of them chatting again, Jing Zeqian became even more displeased, coldly observing Jing Yi's smiling face.
Jing Yi was completely oblivious to Jing Zeqian's mood. She moved closer to Jing Zeyou and started discussing the black sports car. "Big brother, that 'Black Night' is absolutely amazing!"
'Black Night'?! Jing Zeqian's eyes were filled with disbelief.
"You drove 'Black Night' out?!"
Jing Yi was startled, glaring at the shocked Jing Zeqian who had stood up. "Yeah, what about it?"
[What's wrong with this guy? Why is he shouting so loudly?!]
Jing Zeqian looked at his brother with shock and a hint of hurt. How could he not shout? 'Black Night' was bought by Jing Zeyou at an auction half a year ago. After buying it, he had asked Jing Zeyou to let him drive it.
But his brother had said it was bought for appreciation, not for driving.
"Didn't you say it was just for display?!"
Jing Zeyou felt a rare moment of guilt. He wasn't really a fan of sports cars, and initially, he did buy it just for display...
But Jing Yi wanted to try driving it, didn't she?
"If you want to drive it too..." Jing Zeyou held out the keys he had just received to Jing Zeqian.
But Jing Zeqian didn't seem grateful. He crossed his arms and said disdainfully, "I don't want your leftovers!"
Jing Yi slightly pursed her lips, looking at Jing Zeqian's tsundere behavior.
[Just take the food when it's offered. Don't be picky, this is 'Black Night'!]
Jing Zeqian hesitated for a moment, thinking that what Jing Yi said made sense. So before Jing Zeyou could fully retract his hand, Jing Zeqian snatched the keys from him.
Jing Zeyou raised an eyebrow, the corner of his mouth curving upwards, having successfully resolved another unnecessary conflict.
Jing Zeqian's lips held a mischievous smile as he watched Jing Yi, who had started digging into the fruit platter brought by Aunt Wang.
"I didn't know you could drive. How surprising."
His tone was still as sarcastic as ever. Jing Yi smiled slightly, ignoring him.
[Such a judgmental dog.]
Jing Zeyou's eyes flickered. Here we go again, he thought, wondering if he should retreat first.
Jing Zeqian paused for a moment, wanting to retort but holding back. However, he couldn't hold it for more than three seconds.
"Driving a car like 'Black Night' on city streets is simply degrading its status!" This was the only one of its kind, a limited edition sports car in the world.
Jing Yi glanced at him, put a piece of guava in her mouth, and then calmly raised her chin, her face full of innocence.
"Is that so? Then, second brother, you shouldn't degrade 'Black Night'. Don't drive it out, just keep it well-preserved for display. Why don't you give the keys back to big brother?"
Jing Zeyou picked up his teacup, feeling like he could stay a bit longer.
Jing Zeqian was stumped for a moment. "Hmph, when I drive it out, I'll show you what a real sports car is like!"
"Second brother, there are speed limits in the city. Reckless driving leads to tears for your loved ones."
Jing Zeyou's hand holding the teacup shook slightly. His thin lips, hidden behind the cup, pressed together, suppressing the urge to smile.
Jing Zeqian glared at Jing Zeyou.
Brother! Don't think I don't know you're laughing just because you're hiding behind that teacup!
"I know these traffic rules! I'm talking about the racetrack!" Jing Zeqian's eyes held a hint of pride. "Do you know about the Shanchi Racing Track in North River? That's where sports cars can truly show their potential."
It had to be said, Jing Zeqian's words did make Jing Yi a bit excited.
[A professional racetrack?!]
Jing Zeqian's smile was proud and radiant. Judging from Jing Yi's expression, he knew she must be curious about the racetrack he mentioned. But he didn't receive the eagerness he had imagined.
Jing Yi just said "Oh" and went back to eating fruit.
Jing Zeqian put his leg down, his tone carrying a hint of urgency, "That's it? You're not going to say anything else?"
Jing Yi looked up, confused. "Say what?"
Jing Zeqian felt like he was about to die of anger.
How could anyone be so dense!
Jing Zeyou's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly. He was quite pleased with the way Jing Yi and Jing Zeqian interacted.
Jing Zeqian had grown up in a very privileged environment and was the youngest son in the family. His personality was inevitably somewhat arrogant and conceited.
He had always been worried that his brother might suffer due to his personality, and it was good that Jing Yi could temper his sharp edges.
However, he was also curious about why Jing Zeqian and Jing Yi seemed to be naturally at odds with each other.
Sure enough, in less than two minutes, they were arguing again.
"I heard from Aunt Wang that you went out with a friend today. I didn't know you had friends."
Jing Yi smiled slightly at Jing Zeqian, "That's why I envy second brother. You're not bothered by friends, and you don't have friends pestering you to go to gatherings. How peaceful it must be to be alone!"
[You jerk! It would be more surprising if someone like you had friends!]
The corner of Jing Zeyou's eye twitched as he watched impassively as Jing Zeqian angrily stood up and started arguing with Jing Yi.
"Who are you saying doesn't have friends?!"
"Huh? I didn't say it was second brother who doesn't have friends."
Jing Zeyou sighed lightly, feeling a bit helpless. They really were like two elementary school kids arguing.
Maybe he should go upstairs after all...
