Su Zhiyi seemed to have just woken up from a dream. He hurriedly took off the helmet which was still a little hot. He scratched his head subconsciously, and a few strands of hair that were a little messy due to being pressed down shook.
A hint of embarrassment crept onto his angular face, like a child who was caught with a little secret; his slightly red ears revealed his embarrassment.
His gaze was focused on Ye Xuan, his eyes were full of undisguised admiration, and the corners of his mouth were raised, revealing a flattering smile.
He said, "Xuanxuan, I am truly impressed by your racing skills today. Although I knew you were good before, today I really saw what a master is. After racing all the way, I could hardly see your taillights."
After saying that, he raised his thumb high, and the thumb paused in the air for a few seconds, as if to imprint this praise firmly in the air.
The upward curve of Ye Xuan's mouth became more and more obvious, just like a quietly blooming spring flower, and there was a hint of pride in his smile: "Of course, don't underestimate me, I have worked hard on racing."
She straightened her back, folded her hands in front of her chest casually, raised her chin slightly, and looked so confident that it seemed as if her whole body was shrouded in a layer of dazzling light that made people unable to look away.
The breeze blew gently, lifting a few strands of her hair, adding a bit of heroic spirit to her appearance.
Su Zhiyi jumped off the racing car swiftly and came to Ye Xuan's side, with a bit of intimacy and a bit of ease after admitting defeat.
He patted her shoulder gently, with just the right amount of force, as if conveying some kind of tacit understanding: "Okay, today's contest is a convincing defeat for me, but don't be complacent for too long. Next time, I will definitely find a chance to win back a game."
Although his words still showed reluctance to win, his sparkling eyes clearly showed his full anticipation for the next contest, as if he had already begun planning the tactics for the next match in his heart.
Ye Xuan raised her smart eyebrows slightly, like a playful little deer, with a hint of provocation in her eyes: "Oh? Really? Then I'm waiting, ready to accompany you at any time, I'm just afraid that you will be defeated by me again."
The two of them were bickering with each other as they walked side by side towards the lounge. Their shadows were stretched out in the sunlight. They were talking and laughing, unaware that there was a "surprise" quietly lurking in the lounge, waiting for them to fall into the trap.
At this time, Li Qiran and Lin Yiping in the lounge had already heard the noise coming from far away outside. The two looked at each other tacitly, their eyes flashing with excitement before the prank succeeded.
Then, like two nimble little mice, they quickly hid behind a large sofa, yet carefully poked their heads out, revealing only their two furry heads with their eyes wide open, ready to watch the show begin.
Su Zhiyi pushed the door open carelessly and walked into the lounge with big strides, humming a tuneless little song, obviously in a good mood. But before he could say a word, he caught a glimpse of some strange movement in the corner.
His heart suddenly skipped a beat, as if it was grabbed by an invisible hand. His feet froze in place instantly, and he couldn't even retract the smile on his face, which froze there in awkwardness.
Ye Xuan keenly noticed that something was wrong with him. She followed his gaze and was slightly stunned, with a hint of doubt flashing across her face.
In this split second, Li Qiran and Lin Yiping seized the opportunity and suddenly stood up from behind the sofa, like two elves emerging from the ground.
Li Qiran put her hands on her hips, looking like a hot pepper who was ready to go to war. She had a wicked smile on her face, and the curve of her mouth almost reached her ears: "Fourth brother, you had a lot of fun. You didn't expect us to be here, did you?" Her voice was clear and loud, echoing in the lounge, with a bit of ridicule and pride.
Su Zhiyi's face turned pale in an instant, his lips trembling slightly, and he stammered, "Xiao Qi...you...why are you here?"
His eyes frantically moved back and forth between Li Qiran and Ye Xuan, like a small animal trapped in a trap, desperate to find an excuse to get away with it. However, his brain seemed to have frozen, and his mind was blank. His usual cleverness was completely gone.
Ye Xuan was also surprised, but she had seen big scenes before, so she quickly reacted. She raised her hand to cover her mouth and chuckled: "So you are here, is this... hide and seek?"
She tried to use this joke to defuse the sudden embarrassment, her voice was a little playful and calm, and there was a barely perceptible cunning flash in her eyes, as if to say: ...see how I can get away with this.
Li Qiran tried to hold back her laughter, and her cheeks turned red, like a ripe apple.
She walked a few steps quickly and came to Ye Xuan, holding her hand affectionately. She looked like she had found a backbone to support her: "Sister-in-law, don't cover up for him. We all saw that Fourth Brother gave all the staff a holiday to accompany you, and he is still lying to us."
As she spoke, she deliberately winked at Su Zhiyi, emphasizing the word "sister-in-law", and her deliberate attempt to stir up trouble was almost written on her face.
Ye Xuan's face turned red when Li Qiran called her "sister-in-law", and she thought: ...I haven't decided to be with him yet.
Although she thought so, her eyes couldn't help but glance at Su Zhiyi.
When Su Zhiyi heard this, he felt his scalp tingling and he wished he could find a hole to crawl into immediately. The look of regret on his face became more and more intense, and he looked at Li Qiran with regret on his face.
He put his hands together and kept bowing to her, looking as embarrassed as he could be: "Xiao Qi, I was wrong, please don't tell my parents, otherwise I will be in trouble."
His voice was pleading and pitiful, and his ingratiating actions made him look completely different from his usual high-spirited self.
Li Qiran snorted coldly and turned her head away pretending to be angry, but she was still secretly watching Su Zhiyi's reaction from the corner of her eyes: "Hmph, let's see if you dare to do bad things without telling me in the future. I'll let you go this time, but you have to agree to one condition of mine."
Her eyes rolled around, and she already had an idea in her mind that would give Su Zhiyi a headache, so she was just waiting to see him take the bait.
Su Zhiyi nodded quickly, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, his head nodding like a chicken pecking at rice: "Okay, I agree to any conditions, just tell me."
Li Qiran smiled slyly, and that smile was full of calculation: "Next time we go racing, you have to bring me and Yiping along, and you have to let us drive the best car."
When Su Zhiyi heard this, his heart instantly settled down, he breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly responded, "No problem, of course, as long as you don't complain."
