In the 'Dear Family' livestream, netizens were immersed in go-kart racing.
[I never thought I'd be experiencing go-karting from this perspective. I'm so amazing!]
[Wake up, person above! It's Jing Yi who's amazing!]
[So this is what Little Miss Jing meant by 'be prepared'! I'm directly shouting out: Master! Take me as your disciple!]
[Wait, driving like this and not becoming a professional racer? Is it because she doesn't like it?]
Jing Yi was the first to cross the finish line!
The black go-kart drifted to a stop nearby. As she removed her helmet, she accidentally loosened her hair tie, letting her long curly hair cascade down. The glow of the setting sun behind her made it seem as if each strand of hair was shimmering. At that moment, Jing Yi's smile was dazzlingly radiant.
Shen Huaichu saw this scene, his gaze lingering on the screen for a long time. He unconsciously took a screenshot.
A few seconds later, Shen Huaichu paused. His slender fingers moved slowly, his pupils dilating slightly. What was he doing?
Shen Huaichu tossed his phone onto the coffee table and lay back on the sofa. His usually expressionless eyes now revealed confusion and frustration.
He got up to pour himself a glass of ice water. The transparent glass touched his thin lips as the cold water slid down his throat. After putting the glass down, Shen Huaichu stood still, his gaze fixed ahead, lost in thought.
Ever since he encountered Jing Yi again, he had been acting increasingly strange. It was odd enough that he started watching the Jing Family's livestreams, but now he was taking screenshots like some kind of pervert.
Could it be that Gu Lin was right?
"Brother, you seem different when it comes to Miss Jing Yi." Hearing this, Shen Huaichu let out a cold laugh, "That's because you're blind. You should get your eyes checked when you have the chance."
Gu Lin: With such a strong reaction? And he still claims there's nothing different?
Shen Huaichu returned to the sofa with a cold expression. The sound of Jing Yi's laughter came from the screen. He glanced at it, then exited the app.
Remembering the screenshot he had taken earlier, Shen Huaichu wanted to delete the photo. Looking at the brightly smiling face in his album, he hesitated. His finger hovered over the confirm delete button, but ultimately, he couldn't bring himself to press it.
Meanwhile, Jing Yi, having won the championship, was boasting to Jing Zeqian.
"Second Brother! I won!"
Jing Zeqian had initially wanted to tease her, but seeing her radiant smile, he couldn't bring himself to do it. He gently ruffled her hair and praised her, "Yes! Jing Yi is really amazing!"
Jing Yi's smile grew even brighter.
Jing Zeyou and the others also crossed the finish line one after another.
Jing Zeyou took off his helmet and walked over. "Yi Yi, your second brother wasn't exaggerating." Her driving was like a wild horse let loose.
Jing Yi thought Jing Zeyou meant she drove too fast. Her smile dimmed a bit as she was about to say something, but Jing Zeyou's lips curved upward as he reached out to pat her head, saying softly, "You're really incredible."
Jing Yi smiled shyly, feeling a strange tingle in her nose.
Nearby, Wen Qingyan was also very surprised. He walked over to Jing Zejun with Wen Yin.
"I didn't know Miss Jing Yi was so skilled at racing," Wen Yin said excitedly. "I knew there was a reason she was so good at jet skiing. So she really knows how to race cars!"
Wen Qingyan looked puzzled. "...Is there necessarily a connection?"
Wen Yin smiled brightly. "Not really, I just think both are impressive."
Wen Qingyan: "..."
Jing Zejun watched the happy Jing Yi in the distance, his eyes filled with tenderness. "If there's a chance, she can show you her racing skills. She really loves it and is very talented."
The livestream comments were still immersed in Jing Yi's impressive go-kart skills when a middle-aged man approached.
"Hello, everyone."
Jing Yi looked at him curiously. The middle-aged man smiled and introduced himself, "I'm the owner of this go-kart track."
Jing Zeyou greeted him and waited for what he had to say next. Sure enough, they heard him ask, "I was wondering if this young lady would be interested in racing against me?" The go-kart owner looked at Jing Yi.
Jing Yi had just effortlessly broken their track's third-place lap record, and she wasn't even a regular customer.
When you've been around go-karts for a long time, you naturally want to compete with skilled drivers. That's why he came over to ask.
Jing Zeqian frowned and stepped forward to block Jing Yi, but she held him back.
Jing Yi knew the owner meant no harm. In fact, many racing enthusiasts would want to compete with someone they admired. Her friends were just like that.
Jing Yi's eyes curved into crescents as she smiled and said, "Sure!" This was like getting a freebie, right? She could race once more for free.
Seeing her agree, the owner's expression lit up with joy. This group didn't look like ordinary people, and he had thought he'd most likely be rejected.
"Thank you so much! Just do your best, miss, and be careful. I might have a bit of an advantage on the track."
This wasn't the owner bragging. He drove the go-kart around the track almost every day and knew it like the back of his hand.
Jing Yi's smile exuded confidence and composure. She didn't seem concerned at all. "It's fine. I have an advantage in weight, so I guess we're even."
[Exciting! This is like a battle between experts, right?!]
[Am I the only one who noticed that Jing Yi broke the third-place record on her first visit?!]
[Here we go! Time for some no-stakes betting, better late than never!]
[I bet on the owner. With equal skill, familiarity with the track is king!]
[I'm betting on Jing Yi!]
The race between Jing Yi and the go-kart owner began!
The netizens were right; the owner was clearly very familiar with the track. Almost every move he made was instinctive, requiring no thought at all.
For a long time, neither of them managed to pull ahead.
Jing Zeqian and the others stood by the railing, watching the race.
As spectators, their perspective was naturally different from the racers'. Watching the two competing cars, Wen Yin asked, "Brother, who do you think will win?"
Wen Qingyan hesitated. "That owner does look very skilled. It might not be easy to beat him..."
At this point, Jing Yi also felt the difference in racing against the owner. He was too familiar with the track, knowing every potential overtaking point. She couldn't find an opportunity to pass him at any of the turns.
Meanwhile, the owner in the other go-kart wasn't having an easy time either. He could always see Jing Yi in his peripheral vision. For a first-time visitor to this track, Jing Yi was indeed impressive.
It was already the last lap. Jing Yi gripped the steering wheel tightly, not giving up for a moment. The go-kart owner ahead showed no signs of letting up either.
But the livestream viewers all felt the outcome was already decided.
Suddenly!
At the final turn, the owner's go-kart tires experienced a slight side slip. Although he corrected his direction immediately, it still affected his speed.
