The rain-soaked road was slightly smooth. Murong Qiao stood at the entrance and could already see the fiery red racing car.
It seemed like they were competing.
Murong Qiao paused for a minute or two before walking forward.
There was a huge screen facing the audience in the air. This allowed people to clearly observe the progress of the compet.i.tion and the exquisite operations of the contestants.
The fiery red racing car was in the lead. It rushed in front and left the others far behind.
Murong Qiao found a seat in the front row. Although it was outdoors, the audience was not troubled by the rain.
At this moment, the compet.i.tion was reaching its climax. There were still two rounds to go.
Tang Huai was far in front, his hands firmly holding the wheel. His entire body seemed to have fused with the car, and he was as tense as an arrow that was about to leave the bow.
Even though he had already maintained the lead, Tang Huai was never someone who would start feeling smug halfway. He calmly and decisively drifted through the fourth last bend and slowly stepped on the accelerator.
The huge rain caused a considerable obstruction to their vision. Raindrops dripped onto the car window. Even if the wipers were working at full speed, it was enough to cause a risk of an accident.
In fact, just a minute after Murong Qiao sat down, she saw two racing cars roll off the track one after another, and the cars were shattered.
In this environment, it was even more of a test for the driver.
However, even if they couldn’t see the driver, everyone could feel the calmness
of the fiery red racing car.
Sofia, who was sitting in the private room above, also thought so and even revealed a faint expression of interest.
“You like that car?” Jiang Weiyang looked at her.
Sofia reluctantly replied, “It’s quite exciting.”
Although it was not that she couldn’t come into contact with such things, she had been raised in the palace since she was young. Many stimulating activities were restricted from Sofia.
Seeing that Sofia seemed to like it very much, Jiang Weiyang thought for a moment and suggested.
“Then after this compet.i.tion ends, we can go down and take a look. My brother knows Tang Huai. We might be able to get him to drive you around.”
“But your body—” Jiang Weiyang hesitated again.
In the few days they had known each other, not only did Sofia know Jiang Weiyang, but Jiang Weiyang also knew that Sofia hadn’t been in good health since she was young.
Sofia nodded. “I’m not as weak as you think.”
“I still think that if not for you, I wouldn’t have such a novel experience,” Sofia praised without hesitation.
“No, it’s nothing. It’s not a big deal to begin with.” Jiang Weiyang was embarra.s.sed by her praise.
However, Sophia said, “I saw an especially beautiful bag yesterday and asked someone to send it to your house. Do you like it?”
When it came to befriending others, what Sophia didn’t lack the most was money.
Not to mention how much pocket money she usually had, when she went out this time, Elvi was afraid that Sofia would suffer outside, so she let her use her card without limit.
It would have been better if she had not said it. Once she did, Jiang Weiyang remembered how expensive the bag she had received yesterday was.
She had seen the price on the official website. It was at least eight digits and was custom-made by a famous designer.
“That’s too expensive…” Jiang Weiyang was too embarra.s.sed to accept such an expensive gift.
Although she usually spent money extravagantly, she couldn’t compare to
Sophia’s style at all.
Moreover, although Jiang Weiyang felt that she had not helped Sofia much in the beginning, the other party had always been so good to her. Other than feeling touched, Jiang Weiyang felt that she had met a confidant.
-just keep it. I’m unfamiliar with this place…” Sofia interrupted her. After the two of them finished speaking, the compet.i.tion was about to end.
In the last lap, the second place seemed to gradually close the distance.
Tang Huai ran at the front, his breathing quickening as he stared at the last bend in front of him.
As long as he slowed down slightly and used the slippery drift brought by the rain to cross the bend, the champion of this compet.i.tion would be his.
Just as Tang Huai was calculating in his heart and had already expected the next move, his leg suddenly stepped on the accelerator uncontrollably.
d.a.m.n it!
Why did it have to be at this moment—
As they approached the bend, everyone’s gazes were on the first place’s fiery red and the second place’s icy blue. They even held their breaths in antic.i.p.ation.
Most of the people felt that the red car would win. They had even cheered in advance.
However, to everyone’s surprise, when the fiery red color drifted past the bend on the horse, it suddenly tilted and revealed an empty spot. It was tightly seized by the second place.
“What’s going on?!”
“This must be a mistake…”
“No! My sure win bet!”
The audience let out puzzled voices, and some even began to complain. Murong Qiao naturally saw this scene like the others. Almost at the moment the other party swayed, she thought of the call she had received from Murong Zheng.
It couldn’t be…
She had a bad feeling and couldn’t help but get up.
On the track, any small mistake was enough to change the situation and turn the tables.
In the blink of an eye, on the last straight track, Tang Huai’s car and the second place were almost neck to neck. Even if the scene was displayed on the big screen, one could only see a small difference between the tires.
Tang Huai didn’t know about the commotion outside. At this moment, he was frowning and suppressing the trembling in his legs, controlling his mistakes to the smallest extent.
The only fortunate thing was that the final track was a straight line, so there was no need for too many complicated techniques. This saved Tang Huai a lot of effort.
He stepped on the accelerator and ignored the rainy weather. He increased his speed and began to press down on the second place.
“Do you want to die?!” The second place who was speeding beside him cursed when he saw Tang Huai speed up again.
At this speed, one didn’t even know if they could survive if they b.u.mped into each other.
He was like a lunatic.
From this, the second place knew the reason why Tang Huai could often win first place.
He didn’t care about his life.
His thoughts disappeared in a flash. However, in the last few seconds, the compet.i.tion ended.
Tang Huai got first place.
Seeing that the compet.i.tion was over, Murong Qiao ignored the cheers from the audience and went down to the stage.
She had already obtained permission before coming in, so she was unimpeded now.
“You’re looking for Tang Huai? He’s resting inside.” Seeing that Murong Qiao was a little anxious, the staff kindly pointed out the route for her.
After Murong Qiao thanked her, she headed in the direction she pointed. The door of the lounge looked tightly closed from afar. Murong Qiao walked over and was about to knock on the door when she heard Tang Huai’s voice coming from inside.
“I said I’m fine.” His tone was indifferent and calm. It would be even better if he wasn’t trembling slightly.
The other person sounded a little anxious. “You think you’re fine just because you say so? Just now on the track
Under everyone’s gazes, everyone could see what had just happened. “That’S how the track is on a rainy day,” Tang Huai interrupted him.
These words seemed to anger that person. There was no movement after that. Even through the door, Murong Qiao could feel the tense atmosphere inside..
