Chapter 567 The High-and-mighty, Two-Faced Academic Genius (Gong) VS The Unrestrained, Charming, and
As soon as Jiang Xiyu returned to the P room, Lu Ziqi, who had rushed over from behind, pounced on him like a butterfly. However, Jiang Xiyu's cold expression as he entered was so intimidating that Lu Ziqi didn't dare to actually pounce on him. Instead, he circled around him twice, chattering incessantly.
"Brother, are you alright? You really scared me to death! Are you hurt anywhere? Is anything bothering you? Should we get you checked out? You should get checked out, just in case you bumped or bruised yourself..."
Jiang Xiyu's attention was focused on the screen, so she only lazily replied to Lu Ziqi's concern, "I'm fine."
Zhou Xi looked him up and down, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he was really fine. She said, "It's just an ordinary competition, there's no need to play so recklessly."
Jiang Xiyu didn't look at him, but just smiled while staring at the screen: "It's pretty cool."
The competition results and rankings have been displayed on the screen.
Although the result was already a foregone conclusion, the team members still couldn't help but cheer when the rankings were announced.
They all stepped forward to congratulate Jiang Xiyu, shaking hands and bumping shoulders.
Jiang Xiyu politely thanked them and then walked towards the lounge inside.
Lu Ziqi followed, his eyes practically sparkling with admiration.
He was as excited as if he had won the game, saying, "Bro, your cornering technique by hugging the wall is absolutely amazing. I've only ever seen that in games."
"Brother, when did you start practicing? You can teach me sometime."
"He's so handsome, really, so handsome that I didn't even notice when someone died next to me."
Jiang Xiyu tugged at her collar, her voice a little hoarse: "I wanted to try it, so I did."
Lu Ziqi's eyes widened in disbelief: "Huh? You haven't practiced?"
Jiang Xiyu sat down on the sofa, looked up at him, and asked, "What do you think?"
Lu Ziqi immediately gave a thumbs up, admitting defeat: "Genius!"
After saying that, he opened a bottle of water and handed it over.
Jiang Xiyu took it and tilted his head back to drink two mouthfuls. The muscles in his neck instantly tensed, revealing sharp lines.
The Adam's apple bobbing, the rapid swallowing, and the unintentional rise and fall of the throat all seemed to carry a certain languid allure.
The young man was sweating a lot, and the hormones emanating from his sweat almost made those who were nearby swallow hard.
I'm very thirsty.
Bai Chengci was the last to enter. He looked at the person whose face was damp, whose light-colored pupils seemed to be soaked in water under the light and shadow, appearing very pale and deep.
He just watched silently, his face expressionless.
Zhou Xi couldn't help but scrutinize him for a few seconds, and a sense of suspicion crept into her mind.
Bai Chengci went to such lengths for Xu Yunzhi?
He didn't believe it.
So he moved slightly closer to Bai Chengci and tentatively asked with a smile, "What do you think of Jiang Xiyu?"
Bai Chengci withdrew her gaze without changing her expression, glanced at Zhou Xi, and genuinely praised, "You drove very well."
Unlike Lu Ziqi, who wore his heart on his sleeve, Zhou Xi was much better at hiding his thoughts.
Even if he tried to hide it well, when he saw that person chatting and laughing with others, there was still an undisguised aggressiveness in his eyes.
But the person involved doesn't care at all.
With a promiscuous face, he only hires people but doesn't take responsibility.
Bai Chengci felt annoyed by this, but there was nothing she could do about it.
He had no interest in talking to Zhou Xi, and simply remained silent, observing her intently.
Jiang Xiyu was asking Lu Ziqi what he had bet on.
Lu Ziqi sat on the sofa, practically glued to it.
He answered Jiang Xiyu's question happily, saying, "I gambled on a car, and it's quite valuable."
Jiang Xiyu raised an eyebrow and replied jokingly, "Sure, give it a try when the time comes."
"Of course, my brother helped me win."
For some reason, when he said "Brother helped me win," Lu Ziqi felt a sweet warmth in his heart and couldn't help but move a little closer to the person next to him.
He stopped when his arm was almost touching hers, worried that Jiang Xiyu might feel hot.
Jiang Xiyu didn't care much about the distance between the two.
Perhaps he was really tired, he leaned back and just sat there lazily talking to Lu Ziqi.
The private room was filled with the voices of the two people, and Jiang Xiyu would occasionally chuckle.
Gradually, Zhou Xi joined in, and the three of them talked about things he couldn't understand.
What racing, what competition...
Bai Chengci listened quietly for a while, then lowered her eyes and planned to walk to a corner of the sofa to sit down.
At that moment, the team manager walked in and said that the awards ceremony was about to begin.
Jiang Xiyu was covered in sweat, and the racing suit was already making him feel unbearably stuffy.
He would have taken it off long ago if he hadn't had to wear it for the awards ceremony.
Upon hearing that the awards ceremony was about to begin, Jiang Xiyu breathed a sigh of relief, wishing it would end quickly.
He got up from the sofa and walked to Bai Chengci, but suddenly stopped.
When their eyes met, Bai Chengci was taken aback.
Jiang Xiyu looked up at him, remained silent for a moment, and then reached out her hand in his direction.
A slightly warm breath, less intense after exercise, carrying a cool and refreshing quality.
As the person in front of her drew closer and their breath enveloped her, Bai Chengci's body tensed uncontrollably.
However, the next moment, Jiang Xiyu took the award cap from the table behind him.
Bai Chengci: "..."
Jiang Xiyu held the hat, somewhat annoyed.
My hair is all wet, wearing this thing would be suffocating, but if I don't wear it, I'll be fined.
There's no reason to let the organizers take back a pittance of the money I've worked so hard to earn.
Jiang Xiyu had no choice but to pick up the hat and try to put it on.
However, as he was putting it on, he looked up and saw Bai Chengci's nervous expression. Suddenly, he seemed to understand something, and a slightly flirtatious smile slowly appeared on his lips.
That smile drifted by, eventually settling in Bai Chengci's eyes.
Although they were only close for a few seconds, Jiang Xiyu took the hat and left, leaving Bai Chengci standing there, somewhat lost in thought.
It wasn't until Zhou Xi came over and asked him if he wanted to come along that Bai Chengci nodded without saying a word.
Once outside the pit lane, I found all the race cars parked outside.
Jiang Xiyu's light blue car was worn so badly that the right side of the body was almost unrecognizable, but there were still many people taking pictures around it.
The staff invited him over to take a picture.
Jiang Xiyu did not refuse. After taking a group photo with the car, he was surprised to find that the other contestants also surrounded him.
They were all amazed by Jiang Xiyu's skill in overtaking on curves and wanted to come up and take a photo with him.
Jiang Xiyu couldn't refuse, so she could only agree.
Gradually, more and more people started taking pictures, and even the wealthy young men who had made a fortune gathered around. Later, even Lu Ziqi and Zhou Xi joined in the fun.
At first, Jiang Xiyu would smile symbolically when taking photos with people, but later, perhaps because there were too many people, he couldn't even be bothered to smile anymore, and his cold face and features had an aggressive feel to them.
He didn't want to take any more pictures and was about to say something when he felt the gaze fixed on him suddenly become very close.
Jiang Xiyu raised her eyes and found that Bai Chengci had already walked to the front with her phone.
Jiang Xiyu refused the first time Bai Chengci offered to take his picture.
I never expected him to join in this kind of fun.
Over the loudspeaker, staff announced, "Winners of this competition, please proceed to the awards area."
Jiang Xiyu stared at Bai Chengci for a moment, then smoothed her hair back and put on the black baseball cap she was holding.
He pulled down the brim of his hat, revealing only the lower half of his cold and stern face.
Bai Chengci tightened her grip on her phone, about to ask a second time if she could take a picture, when she heard the person in front of her say slowly and deliberately, "Are you taking a picture or not?"
