"Yes," Gu Yanci answered honestly.

"So your participation in today's competition was arranged by you? You knew about it beforehand, which is why you participated?"

"I didn't arrange the competition. I only found out this afternoon that you were going to participate. My participation tonight was also a last-minute decision. I've already compensated the people who were supposed to participate." Gu Yanci knew he couldn't hide it anymore, so he might as well tell the truth.

"Is this what they mean by 'money makes the world go round'?" Chu Xingyue's voice turned cold.

“An’an, I’m definitely not that kind of person. I just wanted to spend more time with you because I knew you were coming to participate in the competition. I’m not lacking either. The team was something I started with some classmates when I was in college, and we’ve participated in a lot of competitions. The amateur who’s participating this time is a fan of mine from back then. When I asked to participate, he voluntarily gave up his spot. I offered him compensation, but he refused. How could I be that kind of person? I gave it to him on the spot and also asked Fang Jie to arrange for him to go to the team in a few days and play a few games with the team members.”

Chu Xingyue was no longer angry after hearing Gu Yanci's explanation. After all, they hadn't known each other for very long and they weren't related. But she still felt a little strange.

Gu Yanci kept glancing at Chu Xingyue's expression in the rearview mirror.

"Drive carefully." Chu Xingyue's words made Gu Yanci focus his eyes on the road ahead, no longer daring to look at Chu Xingyue, but occasionally he couldn't help but glance at the rearview mirror.

"If you don't want to drive properly, just let me out and I'll go back by myself."

"I'm not watching anymore, I'm just afraid you'll get angry!"

"I'm not angry." "That's good." Gu Yanci was instantly happy to hear that Chu Xingyue wasn't angry.

"You're going to the team tomorrow, can I come with you?" Gu Yanci asked cautiously.

"The whole team is you, I have no right to stop you from going." Chu Xingyue rolled her eyes. What kind of tone was that? It made her sound like a tyrant.

"Okay, then I'll pick you up tomorrow, okay?"

"Speak properly, or I'll go by myself tomorrow." Chu Xingyue, a girl, has never had a man act coquettishly towards her except for her younger sister and younger brother Xia Yiyang. What's wrong with Gu Yanci? He always speaks to her in this pitiful tone.

Gu Yanci shut up immediately, knowing that if he said any more, he might not be able to go with them tomorrow.

The two remained silent on the way. Gu Yanci would occasionally glance at Chu Xingyue in the rearview mirror. Chu Xingyue, with her hat on her head, knew that Gu Yanci would occasionally look at her, but she didn't bother to pay attention to him.

However, the driver was quite steady, with no bumps at all. With such smooth driving skills, Chu Xingyue's eyes gradually closed.

Do you think Gu Yanci, who can drive tanks and fighter jets so fast, would be unstable when driving a car?

The car slowly came to a stop. Gu Yanci did not call out to Chu Xingyue, but Chu Xingyue opened her eyes the moment the car stopped.

"arrive?"

"Um"

"Thank you for bringing me back. Drive carefully on your way back."

Without a second thought, he turned and went straight into the courtyard.

Gu Yanci sat in the car watching Chu Xingyue enter the courtyard and close the gate, secretly pleased that he would see Chu Xingyue again tomorrow.

Lost in thought, he took out his phone and opened the chat window with Chu Xingyue.

"Get some rest, An'an, see you tomorrow!" The message also included a goodnight emoji.

Then he turned and drove home.

Chu Xingyue took out her phone, saw Gu Yanci's message, smiled, put the phone in her pocket, and walked directly into the house.
