Chapter 51 Shi Shi, the God of Cars
Reading Settings
"Your car is no good, you're guaranteed to lose. Want to get a different one?"
"I'll beat you, that's enough." No wonder "Dragon Pride" novels are so popular; it feels so good to say that!
Binglu: "Don't worry about the comparison, anything produced by the system is guaranteed to be of the highest quality."
The people from the previous race hadn't even left yet, and seeing that Fu Jizhou was racing again, they weren't in a hurry to leave. They all started their cars, intending to run another lap and watch the excitement.
Fu Jizhou didn't rush to run away. Instead, he knocked on the other person's car window, signaling her to roll it down.
"What's wrong now?"
"I know this road well. This must be your first time here, right? Don't you need a navigator?"
"You're being long-winded."
Good intentions are wasted!
The starting lights came on, and Fu Jizhou darted off. Shi Shi, not to be outdone, followed closely behind.
The setting sun cast its golden rays upon the winding mountain track, draping the entire course in a veil of gold. But at this moment, this romantic scene was utterly shattered by the tense atmosphere that threatened to tear apart the competition.
A confident smile remained on Fu Jizhou's lips. He felt that after the competition, he would have a lead singer for his band.
Although the race had only just begun, the two cars shot off like wild horses. Fu Jizhou, an experienced driver, reacted quickly, seizing the initiative at the start. His silver car streaked into the first corner like a streak of light. To everyone's surprise, Shi Shi was equally impressive, her black car tightly gripping its opponent, the flames spewing from its exhaust pipe seeming like its angry roar.
As they entered the bend, Fu Jizhou skillfully steered the wheel, precisely controlling the pressure of the brakes and accelerator. Under his control, the race car executed a perfect drift, the tires screeching against the pavement and kicking up a cloud of dust. Shi Shi followed closely behind, her car swaying slightly, but she had reduced the distance between herself and the car in front.
Seeing that the distance between the two had shortened, Fu Jizhou couldn't help but sigh. This woman looks quiet and gentle, but she drives very wildly. She doesn't even seem afraid of overturning when accelerating on curves!
Next came the long straightaway. Fu Jizhou floored the accelerator, the engine roaring deafeningly, and the car reached its maximum speed. The wind whistled past his ears, his heart pounded with the speed, every nerve taut. Seeing this, Shi Shi was equally determined, her eyes fixed ahead, her hands firmly gripping the steering wheel. The black race car, like a black phantom, caught up at an astonishing speed. She could feel that since using the God of Cars gloves, driving had become an instinct, her hands already on the wheel before her mind could even register it!
Speed up, speed up, it's another reckless speed-up.
Shi Shi caught up with the four-second gap. The two cars were now side by side!
Soon, they arrived at the final race point, a series of bends—the most challenging part of the entire track. Fu Jizhou took a deep breath, his heart pounding with excitement; he hadn't had this much fun in a long time! A resolute glint flashed in his eyes as he downshifted early, precisely controlling the car's line, navigating the bends one after another with fluid, seamless movements. Shi Shi wasn't to be outdone, gradually closing the gap with Fu Jizhou along the bends.
Leading the way!
We've been overtaken!
The sun was already setting, turning the sky a deep orange-red. On the track, the two race cars were neck and neck, locked in a tight contest. Shi Shi maintained a slight lead over Fu Jizhou. The young men who had come with Fu Jizhou stood on both sides of the track, shouting his name at the top of their lungs.
Only one bend remained to the finish line. Fu Jizhou seized the opportunity, suddenly accelerating before entering the bend, attempting to overtake Shi Shi from the outside. Shi Shi noticed his intention and swerved sharply to hold the inside line. The two cars raced side-by-side in the bend, their bodies almost colliding—a truly dangerous scene. Even the onlookers stopped shouting.
Zhang Yumin's friend said, "Didn't you say this woman was driving so recklessly? Isn't this just making her look like a bride?"
Zhang Yumin's fingers gripped the bag's handle tightly, leaving a noticeable nail mark on it. She then tossed the bag into the arms of the assistant beside her.
"Here you go, keep your mouth shut about what happened today."
The assistant immediately beamed with joy. "That's great! This bag can still be worth over 500,000 yuan secondhand!"
"Thank you, Sister Min. From now on, you can take me with you whenever you go out. I'm very discreet!"
… …
… …
After exiting the corner, it was time for the final straight-line sprint. Shi Shi and Fu Jizhou simultaneously floored the accelerator, and the two race cars sped towards the finish line like two bolts of lightning. The roar of the engines and the shouts of the onlookers mingled together, and the whole world seemed to consist only of this final sprint.
At the last second, Shi Shi's black race car crossed the finish line first. She excitedly touched the steering wheel, her face beaming with victory. Fu Jizhou followed closely behind, crossing the finish line. Although he lost the race, there was no hint of frustration in his eyes; instead, he was full of enthusiasm.
The match concluded in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Shi Shi was the type to play until she was satisfied and then leave, not caring about the bet at all.
"Shi Shi, wait for me." Fu Jizhou caught up from behind.
Shi Shi glared at him: "You were just calling me 'teacher' all the time. How rude!"
"I lost. You can make me do one thing. Name your request."
"Never mind, I was just playing around."
“If you don’t make any demands, I’ll have to give you money. You can get 2 million if the loser doesn’t have to do anything.”
"How much?!" Shi Shi really did the math; she only made 1 million from a song she wrote. In such a short time, she could earn 2 million.
Unfortunately, her interest was fleeting: "Forget it, if others find out I took 2 million from students, I'm afraid I'll lose my job."
Fu Jizhou swore that this was the first time he had ever been rejected so thoroughly, and it was because of his job position.
"If you can't think of anything right now, you can owe me for now. Contact me anytime you think of something." After saying that, he added Shi Shi's green bubble.
Shi Shi left gracefully, so Fu Jizhou could only bring up the matter of asking her to be the lead singer of the band another time.
This scene, however, doesn't look the same to others.
Liu Minghao: "Oh my, you actually add people on your own initiative now. You weren't deliberately losing just now, were you?"
Fu Jizhou glanced at him sideways: "Don't you know whether I did it on purpose or not?"
Liu Minghao was just teasing him, and he knew that Fu Jizhou wasn't going to show any mercy to women: "But who's this chick? She's got a really good driver. Didn't you get her contact information? Call her out more often next time."
When it comes to having fun, who goes out with just a bunch of grown men? Liu Minghao also brought a female companion. Lately, he's been bringing Michelle.
Liu Minghao gets bored quickly, and the only reason Mi Xue'er stayed by his side for a few months was because she was bold and outgoing. Hearing that Liu Minghao was interested in other girls, she immediately became nervous: "Brother Hao, can she compare to me? I'll play with you." After saying that, she hugged Liu Minghao's arm and rubbed her chest against his arm.
