Chapter 455: Who is Lin Mo....
Translator: _Min_ |
Lin Mo and Xia Yi, familiar with the venue from their frequent competitions, navigated the track with ease, quickly leaving Shi Nuan behind.
Gu Dai watched anxiously, her hands tightly clasped together, her fingertips turning white from the tension.
Meng Zhi, observing the race, commented, “If Shi Nuan can calm down and get a grasp of the track layout, she still has a chance to win.”
Gu Dai nodded, silently praying for Shi Nuan not to panic.
Realizing the importance of staying calm, Shi Nuan took a deep breath, focusing intently ahead, rapidly analyzing the track’s layout.
Gradually, she became more familiar with the course, her driving steadier and her speed increasing.
Lin Mo and Xia Yi, upon noticing Shi Nuan catching up, widened their eyes in disbelief.
Seizing the moment of their distraction, Shi Nuan swiftly overtook them.
The duo sped up to catch her, but every time they got close, Shi Nuan would accelerate, leaving them behind.
Lin Mo signaled Xia Yi with a glance, hinting at using their racing tactics.
Xia Yi nodded and sped up, aiming her car at Shi Nuan’s, thinking, “If we can’t win, then neither can you!”
Shi Nuan’s expression hardened. Seeing Lin Mo in her rearview mirror, she devised a strategy. At a turn, she deliberately slowed down, and just as Xia Yi’s car was about to collide, she rapidly accelerated.
Gu Dai, witnessing Xia Yi’s car hit Lin Mo’s, couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration, “Nuannuan is incredible. From not knowing the track to now being able to counterattack! If nothing goes wrong, she’s sure to win the race.”
Meng Zhi smiled, “There won’t be any accidents. Shi Nuan will definitely win.”
Gu Dai nodded in agreement, then glanced at Meng Zhi and probed, “Third Brother, if you ever get together with Lin Mo, I won’t talk to you again.”
Meng Zhi frowned, “Who’s Lin Mo?”
Gu Dai, surprised, explained, “One of the two racing against Nuannuan.”
After a moment of thought, Meng Zhi earnestly responded, “I still don’t know which of them is Lin Mo.”
Gu Dai, in disbelief, pulled out her phone, clicked on the trending topic, and showed it to Meng Zhi, “This is her. You even took a photo together, and it looks like it was taken today.”
Meng Zhi, realizing the situation, hurriedly explained, “There were many people asking for photos before the race. I didn’t pay attention to who they were. I was just a prop for photos. I even told them not to post it online, but I didn’t expect someone to do it anyway.”
Gu Dai sighed in relief, “So that’s what happened.”
Meng Zhi nodded vigorously, “Exactly. Daidai, please don’t stop talking to me because of her. I only have you as a sister. If you don’t acknowledge me, I’d be so lonely.”
Gu Dai laughed at Meng Zhi’s exaggerated words, quickly reassuring, “Don’t worry, Third Brother, I won’t ignore you.”
Relieved, Meng Zhi replied, “Good.”
As Gu Dai watched Shi Nuan nearing the finish line, she urged Meng Zhi, “Third Brother, Nuannuan must be tired. Go give her a bottle of water. I’ll wait for you two here.”
Meng Zhi agreed, “Okay.”
Gu Dai captured the moment of Meng Zhi giving Shi Nuan water with her camera, taking many photos before enjoying them.
However, when she looked up again, they were already walking towards her.
Disappointed, Gu Dai said, “Why did you come back so soon?”
Meng Zhi, puzzled, asked, “What’s wrong?”
Gu Dai shook her head, changing the topic, “I’m a bit hungry. Let’s go eat.”
Meng Zhi agreed, “Alright, but let me tell my friends first. Wait for me.”
After Meng Zhi left, Gu Dai approached Shi Nuan, “Nuannuan, you had such a good opportunity just now. Why didn’t you talk more with my Third Brother?”
Shi Nuan blushed, stuttering, “I… I was nervous.”
Gu Dai looked at Shi Nuan’s flushed face, shaking her head in resignation. Then excitedly said, “Nuannuan, I just confirmed it. My brother and Lin Mo have nothing going on. They just took a photo together..”
