Chapter 65 Spotlight
When Wen Nianchu took off his helmet and walked off the track, he saw Xie Yue standing at the finish line.
Her heart warmed, and she raised her chin and made a visible mouth shape to him:
"Is my sister handsome?"
Xie Yue stood by the railing in the first row of the audience. After a moment of hesitation, he still nodded obediently.
The screams all around him almost filled his ears. Xie Yue bumped into her overly bright eyes in the first row.
He has always hated such noisy and stimulating occasions.
But when he saw Wen Nianchu crossing the finish line, Xie Yue felt for the first time what vibrant vitality was.
That kind of flamboyant and vigorous vitality formed a sharp contrast with his stagnant life.
So, he seemed to understand why his future self would fall in love with the other person.
She is a young lady who is the center of everyone's attention.
It seems like she was born to have the spotlight on her.
Always confident, bright and outspoken.
"Bang, bang, bang."
Xie Yue covered his chest and turned his eyes away from Wen Nianchu.
"So handsome! Woo woo woo."
There were actually boys next to her who were also fans of the show.
"He's so handsome! Ahhh, she's asking us if we're handsome!" The girl next to her was also very excited. She almost forgot who she came in to see in the first place. "Handsome, handsome, so handsome, baby!"
Xie Yue pursed his lips, his Adam's apple rolling slightly.
Is it handsome?
But she... is his future girlfriend.
He was a little proud and raised the corners of his lips.

Saturday is qualifying.
The main competition is on the weekend.
As the rain deepened, the auditorium was almost empty. Xie Yue stood under the awning, a thin fourteen-year-old boy with a corner of his white shirt lifted by the wind.
"Brother Xiaoyue, would you like to go together?"
The clear voice penetrates the rain.
He looked up and saw Wen Nianchu standing at the bottom of the steps holding a black umbrella.
She changed her clothes--
A simple white T-shirt outlined her sleek curves, and jeans hugged her straight legs. Her outfit was clearly ordinary, but because she had just emerged from the racer selection area, everyone's gaze was glued to her.
"It's Shui Xindao who ranked first in the qualifying round!" someone exclaimed in a low voice.
Xie Yue looked up and met her smiling eyes.
They were of similar height, and when their eyes met through the rain curtain, he could even see the moisture hanging on her eyelashes.
"Wow, that's her brother? Her brother is so handsome..."
Whispers drifted into his ears, and Xie Yue's jawline suddenly tensed.
Xiaoyue?
The name made his Adam's apple roll.
The sound of raindrops hitting the awning suddenly became very loud. He opened his eyes subconsciously, and his eyelashes cast a small shadow under his eyes.
What's small?
He is not small.
He was competing in his heart, but his legs did not stop moving, and he walked towards her quickly.

When Wen Nianchu saw Xie Yue coming over so proactively, he squinted his eyes and smiled.
"Who is this?" Zhao Xinrui and others were actually a little surprised by Wen Nianchu's sudden behavior.
They had originally planned to go out to eat together.
"Hmm..." Wen Nianchu thought for a moment and whispered, "The younger brother from the orphanage."
The three words "orphanage" made everyone's eyes change instantly.
"Come eat with us."
Wen Nianchu looked at Xie Yue beside him and said naturally.
Xie Yue: "..."
Before, you said she was your future girlfriend, how come she has become your sister or brother now?
Xie Yue was in deep thought.
*
They didn't dare to drink, but just ordered some home-cooked dishes in an ordinary restaurant. They were very light, nutritious and healthy.
"Sister Xiaodao is really amazing. How did you know it would rain after the second game?"
Wu Sui diligently picked up some food for Wen Nianchu.
Xie Yue's grip on the chopsticks tightened slightly, his eyes fixed on the dishes Wu Sui kept putting into Wen Nianchu's bowl.
His eyes darkened and he felt depressed.
"Here, for you." Wen Nianchu suddenly pushed the pile of bowls in front of Xie Yue, his voice unconsciously softening. "Eat more... You're still growing, brother."
Although Xie Yue was the same age as her before, she was two months older than Xie Yue, so it was not really an advantage for her to call her brother.
Xie Yue: "Thank you...sister..."
The depressed mood in his heart just disappeared instantly.
"Well..." Wen Nianchu coughed lightly. After seeing Xie Yue pick up his chopsticks, she began to answer her teammates' questions. She shook her finger in a pretentious manner, "I can observe the night sky."
After all, she couldn't just say that it was because she was cheating with the rebirth script, right?
"But if we start tomorrow with rain tires, we won't be able to change tires until the latter part of the race. Will we be slower than the other team?"
"No, didn't you see that my rain tires and super soft tires have the same results?" Wen Nianchu said confidently.
"I really envy Xiaodao. I wish I were born with such a good talent." Xiaopang said.
In fact, he felt that Wen Nianchu could move forward in the direction of a professional player. It was because of her that he realized that there were real geniuses in this world.
Talent is an unbridgeable gap for him.
Perhaps I can only look up to him for the rest of my life. It is already a great fortune to be lucky enough to become teammates with a genius.
"Don't think so," Wen Nianchu tapped his water cup on the table. "With hard work, you can surpass at least 80% of so-called geniuses."
She knew better than anyone that she was not a genius.
In his previous life, he only started racing at the age of 20, which meant he practiced four years longer than these kids. But now, the 18-year-old body given to him by the system is at the peak of human reaction speed and learning ability.
"Don't forget there's still the relay race coming up, which is also an important part of the points." She raised her water cup, "Let's cheer together."
This makeshift team provided her with training grounds and knowledge when she needed it most, and also provided her with food and accommodation for a week.
She naturally hoped that they could win the championship this time.
"To us—"
"A bright future!"
The boy raised his glass, which contained boiled water.
"You can lift it too." Wen Nianchu paused and nudged Xie Yue with his elbow.
Zhao Xinrui covered her mouth and laughed: "Go ahead, this meal is your sister's treat."
Wait until after dinner.
"Then you should rest early today, because tomorrow is a tough battle."
"Don't worry."
Wen Nianchu smiled and said goodbye to several teammates.

After the group of people left, Xie Yue spoke in a low voice:
"Sister, I did as you asked."
He did not accept Huang Dai's bet that day.
Wen Nianchu narrowed his eyes: "Really?"
Xie Yue: “Yeah.”
Wen Nianchu didn't know if she was blinded by the beauty, she suddenly kissed him on the left cheek:
"good."
There was a sly smile in her eyes.
Xie Yue froze in place, and the tips of his ears turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Xie Yue: “….”
"Come on, come back and live with me. We won't live in the orphanage anymore." Wen Nianchu said while holding an umbrella.
Wen Nianchu thought about it and decided that he had to supervise Xie Yue's life and not let him develop bad habits.
So after receiving the thousand yuan from the program team, she rented a house in the small building next to the orphanage. It was just one unit away from Zhao Xinrui, but it was also convenient for them to visit each other.
