Shen Li shook her head.
“Mill Laboratory has been doing data measurements for the past few days. I’ll only have time to go back later.”
Gu Tinglan felt a little regretful, but he still nodded in understanding.
“Yes, it’s more important to finish up the things here first.”
Fortunately, Shen Li had to prepare for the World Car Racing Championship in September, so she would return to the Capital regularly during the month for training.
There were still many more opportunities to meet her again in the near future.
Yun Jingrou smiled and said,”Ever since Tinglan opened a clinic in the Capital, he has stayed there longer than he did in Hong Kong City.”
Shen Li’s heart moved slightly.
Gu Tinglan’s clinic…
She paused and said casually, “Speaking of which, it’s been such a long time, but I don’t think I’ve been to my little uncle’s clinic.”
Gu Tinglan could not help but laugh.
“Why would you want to go to a place like a clinic?”
“I’m just a little curious,” Shen Li said. “Didn’t you use to fly all over the world in the past?”
Gu Tinglan thought for a moment and said, “Then I’ll send you the specific address later. If you want to come and visit, you can do so anytime.”
There was a gentle smile on his face, and his words sounded very casual and natural.
Shen Li lips curved as she smiled.
“Okay. Thank you, Little Uncle.”
…
On August 9th, Shen Li returned to the Capital.
After having lunch with Shen Zhijin at noon, she drove straight to LY.
Knowing that she was coming, the whole LY team was very happy. Even the team members on the training ground were obviously more excited than usual.
Only one person was not… Wen Xiao.
Ji Shu got out of the car and looked at the electronic screen beside the track. He estimated that his results were not too bad. He was about to look for Wen Xiao and ask for his opinion when he saw him sitting in the rest area, smoking with a depressed look on his face and a few cigarette butts at his feet.
He walked over and asked curiously, “Coach, sister Li should be arriving soon, right? What are you…”
No matter which way he looked at it, it did not seem like he was in a good mood.
Wen Xiao raised his head and glanced at him. He took another deep puff and exhaled a smoke ring.
What did this b*stard know? It was precisely because she was coming over today that he was worried!
Ever since Shen Li had called him in the middle of the night and said that she planned to go to Paradise again, he had not slept well for several days.
In the time since, he had tried to contact her twice and confirmed it again and again, but her answer had not changed. She was going to go, no matter what.
From start to finish, her attitude was as calm as the wind. Only he was left feeling uncomfortable, and he had even lost some of his hair.
“Uncle Wen.”
A familiar voice came from the side. Wen Xiao’s hand trembled, and the cigarette ash fell on his hand and burned him.
He immediately threw the cigarette to the ground and extinguished it. He let out a long breath before turning his head to look over.
Shen Li had already changed into her driver’s uniform. She held the helmet with one hand as she walked over.
It looked like she was ready for training.
It was rare to see her here, especially in such a professional and serious manner. Ji Shu’s lips curled into a smile.
“Sister Li, today is… for real?”
Not far away, a few team members who had just gotten off the track spotted them and waved excitedly.
“Sister Li!”
“Is Sister Li going on the track?”
“It’s really rare! We’ll be able to watch a good match today!”
Shen Li waved at them, then looked at Ji Shu and said lazily, “There’s only one month left until the match. If we don’t hurry up, it’ll be too late.”
Ji Shu clicked his tongue.
If it were anyone else, he would still believe them.
But when Shen Li said these words, he really felt that they did not have the slightest bit of credibility.
He was very clear about her strength.
Even if she did not train and went straightaway to compete she could still beat a whole group of people.
However, since she had already come, naturally, he could not say these words.
Wen Xiao’s lips moved. He wanted to say something, but since Ji Shu and the other team members were beside him, he really could not say anything.
Hence, in the end, he only lifted his chin.
“Let’s try running for a round first?”
Shen Li put on her helmet.
“That’s what I planned to do as well.”
…
Twenty minutes later, all the LY team members looked at the result on the electronic screen, and they all fell dead silent.
A slender and tall figure got out of the race car and took off her helmet. She casually smoothed down her long, wavy hair and took half a beat slower pace to cross the track and walk over to them.
She stood in front of everyone before turning around to look at the result. She calmly said,”It’s been a while. I’m a little rusty.”
Everyone was shocked.
Finally, one of the team members could not help but gasp and mutter in shock,”… F*ck, is she even still human?”
Wen Xiao had told her to try having a test run first, and then she had directly broken Ji Shu’s record by a large gap!
More importantly, after getting such a result, her evaluation of herself was that… she was out of practice?!
Out of practice?!
Was she so out of practice that she just casually broke a record?
Then what were they?
Ji Shu patted the shoulder of the team member next to him sympathetically. “It’s been so long, yet you’re still not used to it?”
His improvement in this period was very obvious, but once Shen Li came, she had still won easily.
There was nothing he could do about it. This was something that really depended on one’s talent.
Wen Xiao had sensed that something was wrong from the moment she had set off. Now that he saw the results, he was even more certain of his guess.
This little ancestor was not training, she was venting her anger!
He stood up and waved Shen Li over.
“Follow me.”
Shen Li followed obediently.
…
In the head coach’s office.
Wen Xiao pulled out a chair and sat down. He took his cigarette case and phone out. Thinking that it was not suitable to smoke now, he put down his things and looked at Shen Li.
“Hasn’t the horse racing event already been over for a few days? What did Saint do to offend you?”
To be able to make her like this, other than Saint, there was no one else who was capable of it.
However, he really did not understand it.
The winner and loser had long been decided, and the debt relationship had been completely dissolved.
But for Shen Li, this matter was clearly not over yet.
Shen Li leaned against the sofa.
“He hasn’t provoked me recently.”
“Then what are you–”
Wen Xiao suddenly paused, a hint of shock appearing in his eyes.
“Wait, you… you know who he is?!”
