Chapter 564 The High-and-mighty, Two-Faced Academic Genius (Gong) VS The Unrestrained, Charming, and
Upon hearing this, Lu Ziqi leaned closer and asked, "Did you take these for Xu Yunzhi?"
Bai Chengci did not reply to him.
Lu Ziqi thought about it and agreed. Bai Chengci had come for Xu Yunzhi. Xu Yunzhi probably missed her brother terribly but couldn't come in person, so she asked Bai Chengci to take pictures to ease her longing.
If that's the case, then he absolutely cannot let Bai Chengci take the picture.
Lu Ziqi started to shoo people away, saying, "My brother isn't filming, let's not bother him, let's go."
Bai Chengci didn't move, but looked up at Jiang Xiyu's face and said softly, "Well then, I wish you a good competition and be careful."
After saying that, he turned and left, as if he had only made such a request for Xu Yunzhi.
Okay, keep pretending. Let's see how long you can keep it up.
Jiang Xiyu didn't even look up, but said to the other two, "Brother Zhou, you guys go up first."
Zhou Xi nodded.
Lu Ziqi was about to say something when Zhou Xi stopped him in time: "Don't say anything."
Staying any longer would definitely affect Jiang Xiyu's race, and the team manager had already been waiting outside for a while.
Lu Ziqi glanced at it and finally said, "Brother, I'll be waiting for you."
Jiang Xiyu nodded slightly and turned around to look at the rankings on the screen.
After the two left the pit lane, the team manager came in with his staff and said, "Get ready, the race is about to start."
Jiang Xiyu bent down, picked up the headscarf and helmet from the chair, and put them on.
As soon as the qualifying results were announced, Jiang Xiyu unsurprisingly secured pole position, while the other drivers' cars had already moved to their respective starting positions.
On the screens in the competition venue, the commentators are explaining the situation of each player.
As the camera panned to car number 69, Jiang Xiyu was just driving the car out of the pit lane.
"We can see that driver number 69 is making his way through the crowd to the first starting grid."
Amid cheers, the light blue race car came to a steady stop in first place.
Almost all the cars were undergoing final checks, and the camera footage kept switching between different shots.
You can still see the race cars through the stands, but once the race starts, the best way to watch it is on the big screen, because the cars are going very fast, and they might just whiz past you in the blink of an eye.
Zhou Xi and the others sat in the VIP box in the stands, watching the situation on the screen.
They have to place bets before the screen even starts. Betting on winning or losing is relatively simple; the difficult part is betting on rankings, passing rounds, and all sorts of other things.
The higher the difficulty, the higher the reward.
Lu Ziqi bet on a car, Zhou Xi bet on the money, and Bai Chengci, unaware of the intricacies of the situation, simply stood in front of the glass, quietly watching the pink and blue race car.
Lu Ziqi certainly wouldn't let go of this opportunity to trick him, and his gaze remained fixed on Bai Chengci.
"It's no fun standing there all by yourself, Bai Chengci, why don't you come and place a bet too?"
Zhou Xi laughed and said, "Do you think Bai is as idle as us?"
Lu Ziqi said sarcastically, "Well, since the good students are already here, it would be no fun if they didn't play."
Upon hearing this, Bai Chengci turned around and asked calmly, "How do we play?"
Lu Ziqi: "That depends on whether you're willing to spend a lot of money. If it's your first time playing, of course you should try something exciting."
Bai Chengci didn't ask any further questions, and simply nodded and said, "Okay."
Besides betting on Jiang Xiyu's win or loss, they also bet on the other players, and the three of them started their own game.
Lu Ziqi was taking advantage of Bai Chengci's lack of understanding of these contestants and was deliberately sabotaging him.
Bai Chengci casually picked number 79, seemingly unconcerned about winning or losing.
When Lu Ziqi saw number 79, he immediately burst out laughing.
The amount kept going up, and the bets were very high. Although their rule was that there was no upper limit, playing like this was actually going too far.
Zhou Xi reminded Lu Ziqi not to go too far.
Lu Ziqi said he knew his limits.
He didn't actually want to win money; he had plenty of money. He just wanted to scare Bai Chengci.
So after the bet was settled, an extra requirement was added: "If you lose, you can ride in a race car for a spin during the celebration party tonight."
The passenger seat for a race car driver isn't for just anyone. If an average person got in, their physical abilities wouldn't be up to par, and they'd probably get dizzy.
Especially the track for this race, which has many extreme corners.
When the time comes, he'll definitely find a race car driver to embarrass Bai Chengci.
Seeing that he hadn't said anything too outrageous, Zhou Xi remained silent.
Bai Chengci pondered for a moment, then asked calmly, "Was it the one that lost?"
Lu Ziqi smiled triumphantly: "You can ride whichever one you want, just don't be afraid."
Bai Chengci glanced at the screen expressionlessly and replied almost without hesitation, "Okay."
On the screen, all the race cars are ready.
The scene shifts to the race car, where only a pair of languid eyes, hidden in the shadow of the helmet, are visible.
Craving, control, pursuit.
Through the camera lens, Bai Chengci looked into those eyes, and the rhythm of her heartbeat suddenly became disordered.
Something deeply hidden and suppressed within his very being seemed to begin to grow from his bones, tearing at his rationality with frenzy.
It wasn't until the person on the screen removed their helmet visor and the sharp reflection from it brought him back to his senses.
"The match is about to begin."
The race car began to warm up, and the engine roared eagerly.
As the five red lights, symbolizing the start, went out one by one, time seemed to slow down, and only the roar of the engine in my ears was real.
The moment the last red light went out, countless afterimages tore through the track.
The roar directly and brutally penetrated the eardrums, pulling people into this sensory feast.
Out of control, violent, shrill, tinnitus, even the stands trembled.
Bai Chengci did not stay in the private box, but went to the stands.
Racing cars roared past him, but his gaze was fixed on the pinkish-blue, lightning-fast car.
It's so eye-catching, and so dreamlike.
Bai Chengci felt as if her own heartbeat had become a part of her.
He pushed the car to its limits, recklessly testing the edge of composure, as if trying to ignite his soul.
Bai Chengci had never experienced this feeling before.
His pupils dilated slightly, and he involuntarily clenched his fists, his breathing becoming deep.
After a long while, Bai Chengci closed her eyes briefly. When she opened them again, her gaze was unreserved, fixed on the pink and blue race car with a sinister look, almost like that of someone staring at prey.
Jiang Xiyu...
Jiang Xiyu...
Every time I read a line, I feel restless and anxious; it's hard to bear.
Why are you ignoring me?
Why do you keep rejecting me?
If Xu Yunzhi can do it, why can't I?
I just want to talk to you.
I just want you to talk only to me.
……
Ugh, I really want to kiss him.
I really want to *him*.
……
Lu Ziqi, who came out of the private box later, saw his eyes and felt that he was about to jump off the stands at any moment, which gave him goosebumps.
"Damn, he's gone crazy watching the game, what's with that look in his eyes!"
