The sun was about to set when they finally arrived at the go-kart track Jing Zeqian had mentioned.
This place was known as the Island Racing Valley, featuring both indoor and outdoor go-kart tracks, both of which were nationally renowned.
The setting sun cast its rays on the go-kart track, reflecting a deep glow. The track was paved with smooth asphalt, stretching into the distance, winding and twisting like a parabola across the entire venue.
Being on an island, there wasn't much vegetation along the sides of the track, making it appear even more expansive.
Jing Yi leaned against the railing, looking at the track before her, unable to hide the excitement in her eyes.
Jing Zeqian leaned on the railing, turning to Jing Zeyou, "Brother, don't say I didn't warn you. You'd better be prepared."
Jing Zeyou understood Jing Zeqian's meaning. He smiled and patted his shoulder, "We're here to have fun. Why do you keep trying to control her?"
Jing Zeqian snorted coldly. How could he control her now? At least he had given a warning, so whatever happened next couldn't be blamed on him.
[Hahaha, Little Jing's 'mother hen' image is becoming more and more pronounced.]
[What kind of preparation? How dangerous can go-karting be?]
[This go-kart track is huge! It must be thrilling to race on.]
[I'm tired of saying I'm envious...]
After the production team set up the camera positions, Jing Zeqian and Wen Qingyan went to pay.
Soon, Jing Zeyou's group changed into professional gear. Among them, the happy expressions on Jing Yi and Wen Yin's faces were particularly noticeable.
Jing Zeqian muttered under his breath: "Just like children..." which happened to be overheard by Jing Yi.
A bright smile spread across her face, the dimples at the corners of her mouth refusing to fade. "Second brother, if you lose to this 'child', it would be quite embarrassing, you know."
Jing Zeqian raised an eyebrow, crossing his arms, "Me? Lose to you? Last time I just didn't participate. You wait and see your second brother's superb racing skills!" Jing Yi smiled confidently, seeming sure of herself, "Well, we'll see about that!"
While these two were throwing down the gauntlet, Wen Qingyan was still instructing Jing Zejun on how to quickly master driving a go-kart.
In fact, Jing Zejun had already heard the basic operations from the staff, but she was still a bit nervous until she looked up and saw Jing Yi.
"Yi Yi"
Jing Yi came over and crouched beside her, patiently explaining how to avoid colliding with other go-karts while adjusting her posture.
The content was mostly the same, but Jing Zejun clearly felt much more relaxed.
Wen Qingyan stood to the side, staring blankly at the scene before him, suddenly feeling a bit superfluous...
[Hahaha, brother, why don't you make some room? You look a bit out of place!]
[Aren't they saying the same things? Haha]
[One's state of mind can't be faked. Jing Zejun really relies on Jing Yi!]
[I thought Jing's words were just for show, but they really are like real sisters.]
[Never would have guessed that Wen Qingyan's biggest obstacle would be Jing Yi!]
[Wen Qingyan: I thought you were my wingman, but you turned out to be my rival?!]
Wen Qingyan stood to the side, feeling increasingly bitter and somewhat amused at the same time.
Wen Yin chuckled softly; his brother looked a bit pitiful.
The movement beside him caught Wen Qingyan's attention. He looked over, and Wen Yin quickly put on his helmet, sitting in his go-kart position, looking ready to start.
Wen Qingyan turned his gaze back to the affectionate sisters in front of him, noticing the laughter and relaxation in Jing Zejun's eyes. He sighed inwardly.
The road ahead was indeed long and arduous.
No matter how reluctant he felt, Wen Qingyan could only obediently return to his own position. After all, there was no place for him by Jing Zejun's side at the moment.
Jing Zeyou took in everyone's expressions, a glimmer of amusement passing through his deep eyes beneath the helmet.
Didn't he say it wouldn't be easy?
A few minutes later, seeing that Jing Zejun was ready, Jing Yi finally returned to her own kart.
She put on her helmet, her clear and bright eyes showing a seriousness quite different from her usual demeanor. The track ahead seemed not just a racecourse, but Jing Yi's personal battlefield.
Jing Zeqian was right next to Jing Yi, his expression equally serious, exuding an aura different from his usual self.
The live stream comments also became tense, focusing intently on this race.
At the starting line of the track, a large countdown display hung overhead.
The race begins!
The live stream clearly showed that among the six go-karts, two shot out from the starting line like arrows leaving a bow, instantly creating a contrast with the other vehicles.
These were none other than Jing Yi and Jing Zeqian's go-karts.
Wen Yin followed closely behind, then came Jing Zeyou, and finally Jing Zejun and Wen Qingyan's vehicles. Wen Qingyan clearly had no intention of joining their competition, staying behind to protect Jing Zejun.
At the front of the track, Jing Yi and Jing Zeqian's go-karts sped along the winding course, nimbly navigating obstacles and turns. Jing Zeqian and Jing Yi's positions were neck and neck.
The tense and exciting race made the live stream audience feel as if they were right there at the scene. The comments quieted down as viewers watched the race intently.
Jing Yi gripped the steering wheel tightly, fully focused on the road ahead, her foot never easing off the accelerator. Just ahead was the classic turn of this famous island racing track.
The race entered its most heated phase. Jing Yi knew that the upcoming turn was the best spot to pull ahead!
Jing Zeqian's go-kart stuck close to the inside of the turn, guarding against Jing Yi's attempt to overtake. But as he entered the turn, Jing Zeqian slightly drifted away from the inner lane.
From the corner of his eye, he saw Jing Yi's black go-kart speed past, executing a perfect cornering overtake.
Jing Zeqian floored the accelerator, trying to catch up, but Jing Yi's go-kart had already pulled a considerable distance ahead.
After shaking off the closely following go-kart, Jing Yi's speed noticeably increased. With the experience from the first lap, she drove even more smoothly in the subsequent laps.
In just a few minutes, Jing Zeyou once again caught sight of Jing Yi's go-kart. Gripping the steering wheel, he watched the constantly accelerating kart ahead, finding it hard to believe this was her first time on this track.
Every turn was executed with utmost fluidity, without the slightest hesitation. Especially after completing one lap, she seemed to know exactly how to anticipate each turn, controlling her vehicle with precision.
Jing Zeyou had previously made an estimate of Jing Yi's passion for racing, but now he had to admit that he had likely underestimated racing's importance to Jing Yi...
Meanwhile, to give the online audience a better immersive experience of Jing Yi and the others' racing process, Director Xu had equipped each go-kart with a dedicated camera.
Initially, he had placed his bets on Jing Zeqian, anticipating that his perspective would be the most popular.
That was until a few minutes later when he saw Jing Yi's go-kart become the most dazzling presence on the track under the setting sun.
