Chapter 56 Meeting Zhou Qinghuan
Despite wearing cooling patches, Li Sijing was still sweating profusely in the 55-degree heat.
Shielding her face from the direct sunlight, Li Sijing glanced at the open space with no shade and sighed.
"The temperature is too high. It's unbearable to stay outside all the time." Lü Hehua let go of Li Sijing's arms and kept wiping away her sweat.
“I’m still a little curious about who will be in first place. Let’s drive over and take a look!” Le Wenwen suggested.
Li Sijing nodded. She was also very curious as to whether the first place winner was the person she had guessed.
The three of them drove together toward the middle and stopped around the car.
After lowering the window and waiting for a while, the vehicles in the middle did not move at all.
The car windows were also blocked by curtains, so nothing could be seen inside.
What's going on? Do they not want to communicate? Are they refusing to exchange ideas? The three looked at each other, bewildered.
Lü Hehua glanced at Le Wenwen and said, "Go and knock on the glass."
"Why should I go?" Le Wenwen was not happy to be ordered around.
“Didn’t you just say you were curious?” Lü Hehua retorted.
He did say those words. Helpless, Le Wenwen got out of the car, went to the driver's side, and knocked on the window.
After waiting for a while without any response, Le Wenwen knocked several more times.
"Who is it!" a voice rang out, and finally there was movement inside the vehicle.
It's good that there's any noise, otherwise they'll think some kind of supernatural event has occurred!
The curtain was pulled open, and the window slowly lowered, revealing a slightly chubby face inside the car.
The man rubbed his eyes, still sleepy and half-awake, and slowly looked over.
When she saw Le Wenwen's face in front of the car window, her face immediately fell. The originally soft and cute girl instantly transformed into a cold and world-weary goddess.
"What's wrong?" the girl asked, frowning, and then looked up at the others.
"Zhou Qinghuan!" Upon seeing this somewhat familiar face, Li Sijing finally couldn't help but call out with a smile.
Following the sound, the girl performed a dramatic face-changing act, her aloof expression instantly transforming into a radiant smile.
"Li Sijing... Sister!" Zhou Qinghuan opened her mouth, but awkwardly didn't know how to address her.
Calling me by my name doesn't seem to convey intimacy, and calling me "sister" feels particularly embarrassing, especially since this isn't online.
Li Sijing felt the same way; she hadn't actually called out "sister" aloud just now.
"Just call me Sister Jing!" Li Sijing said with a smile, looking at the other person's chubby cheeks.
"Then Sister Jing, just call me Huanhuan! That's what my family calls me," Zhou Qinghuan said happily.
Lu Hehua, standing nearby, looked at the scene unfolding before her and asked in surprise, "You two know each other!"
"Hmm!" Since they were all people who knew each other, Li Sijing introduced them to each other directly.
It was too hot outside, so after Le Wenwen got back into the car, the three of them sat inside and talked with the windows open.
Cars are their last and only means of survival in this world, and no one would invite others to ride in one.
"When did you reach the finish line?" Li Sijing asked curiously.
Zhou Qinghuan checked the time and replied, "I arrived less than ten minutes ago, it should be around four o'clock."
The difference wasn't significant. Li Sijing nodded and asked, "Pretty fast. How many points chests did you collect?"
"There were about a dozen! The placement of the points chests at the back wasn't very convenient, so I just left," Zhou Qinghuan replied.
"You came in first place, right? How many points did you get as a reward?" Lü Hehua asked curiously.
"I was rewarded with 100,000 points," Zhou Qinghuan said truthfully.
It was indeed a huge sum of money, leaving the two women present in awe and envy.
Only Le Wenwen remained silent, but suddenly spoke up, "Do you have a problem with me?"
Seeing Zhou Qinghuan smiling at the other two people while remaining cold towards her, Le Wenwen was not going to tolerate it.
Seeing that Zhou Qinghuan was turning her head away and didn't seem to want to explain, Li Sijing quickly tried to smooth things over.
"I'm sorry! Huanhuan... she has androphobia, it's not directed at you."
Whether or not she has androphobia, Li Sijing obviously didn't know; she was just giving a casual answer!
Well... he can't force someone to be sick, otherwise wouldn't that be being aggressive?
Just as the atmosphere was getting a little awkward, the sound of a car came from afar, indicating that someone else had reached the finish line.
"You guys chat, I'll go check it out!" Le Wenwen said somewhat boredly, and then drove away.
The atmosphere was somewhat awkward. Lü Hehua glanced at the two of them and suddenly said, "I'll go take a look too."
Seeing the two leave one after another, Zhou Qinghuan felt a little embarrassed and looked at Li Sijing and whispered something.
"Sister Jing, I didn't mean to disrespect you, it's just that I'm really a little..."
"I'm afraid of men!" Zhou Qinghuan said with some difficulty.
"Huh?" Li Sijing's mouth dropped open in surprise. She had only given a casual reason, yet the truth had been guessed?
“Really, it’s a childhood trauma, I…” Zhou Qinghuan hesitated, unsure how to say it.
"I believe you, let's leave this topic behind!" Li Sijing quickly said, not wanting to reopen old wounds.
Seeing that the other person was still somewhat sullen, he comforted him, "I only just met those two people."
Between Zhou Qinghuan and them, Li Sijing would undoubtedly choose Zhou Qinghuan, not just because of her lucky streak.
Because of her, she and Zhou Qinghuan became more familiar with each other; they had been in contact since the first day they came into this world.
"That's good!" Zhou Qinghuan was relieved. "By the way, are you hungry? I have lots of delicious food here."
As if to make amends to Li Sijing, Zhou Qinghuan took out a lot of snacks and tried to pass them over through the car window.
The distance was a bit far, so she quickly adjusted the position of her car and finally stopped next to Li Sijing's car on the right.
Wanting to refuse but afraid of seeing her dejected face, Li Sijing reluctantly accepted them all.
Macarons, sturgeon sausages, vegetarian steak, spicy tofu, konjac snacks, and more.
They were all small snacks, not many in quantity, but quite a variety.
Such items might be common on Earth, but in this game world, they are considered rare.
Li Sijing felt bad about taking advantage of her, so after thinking for a moment, she took out the half watermelon she had left over from the morning and handed it over.
"It's a watermelon! Thank you, Sister Jing!" Zhou Qinghuan accepted it with both hands, somewhat surprised and delighted.
So the two sat in their respective cars, eating snacks and chatting.
"Did you meet any other people on the way?" Li Sijing asked, opening a bag of konjac snacks.
As Zhou Qinghuan scooped out watermelon with a spoon, she shook her head, "Not a single one."
Not a single one? Was she just incredibly lucky, or was she driving too fast?
"Including the 100,000 bonus points, how many points do you have in total?"
Li Sijing couldn't hide her curiosity about how many points Zhou Qinghuan's points chest could yield.
"There are 120,000 in total!" Zhou Qinghuan thought for a moment and replied.
In other words, she obtained 20,000 points from the points chests, a total of more than a dozen chests...
Fortunately, it wasn't too bad, which brought Li Sijing some comfort.
