Aren't we friends? Why are you rushing at me?

Exhausted from a long day, especially from the "life-or-death struggle" at the Su family in the evening, Lin Shi felt physically and mentally drained. After a quick wash at home, he planned to go straight to sleep.

I had just lain down in bed when my phone rang at the most inopportune moment.

Lin Shi picked it up and saw that it was Xia Ye calling. He had a bad feeling.

As soon as I clicked to connect, Xia Ye's impatient voice came through the phone:

"Old Lin! I have something very important to tell you!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Shi looked up at the ceiling and said, "My premonition was right. I wonder how she's going to 'torture' me."

"Old Lin? Are you listening, Old Lin?"

When Natsuno saw that Lin did not respond, he asked anxiously:

Lin could only mumble "hmm" to indicate that he was listening and that he didn't really want to listen.

As if completely oblivious to Lin Shi's reluctance, Xia Ye happily said:

"There's a race on Mount Akina tomorrow night! Lots of people are going to participate. I saw your driving skills last time; you're sure to win a prize if you go. Are you coming?"

Although it was a question, Xia Ye spoke with absolute certainty, as if Lin Shi had already agreed.

Lin Shi tightened his throat, mimicking an aged voice:

"No way! I'm too old to keep up with you young people. You guys have fun."

After speaking, he coughed a few times to show his old age and weakness.

Although he doesn't dislike racing, asking him to race in the mountains in the middle of the night, especially since he has work the next day, is really too much to ask.

Xia Ye chuckled, as if she already knew Lin Shi's answer, and imitated Lin Shi's high-pitched voice, using a girl's voice with a hint of grievance:

"Is that so, old grandfather? Won't you come and see this beautiful young lady?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Shi clenched his fist instantly, actually attacking his liking for beautiful women.

However, he clearly distinguished between his personal life and his womanizing:

"I'm sorry, Grandpa, I'm really old."

Seeing Lin Shi's straightforward refusal, Xia Ye let out a disappointed "Ah." Then she quickly tried to coax him with something he liked:

"No way! With such amazing skills, you'd definitely win the championship in a competition. You'd be rich and famous too. You could meet tons of girls then!"

Lin Shi yawned. The return was good; if it were the beginning, he might have agreed. But now, seeing beauties like Su Ningshuang every day, he understood that quantity can't compare to quality.

"No, I'm a little tired. Is there anything else? If not, I'm hanging up."

"I'm a little tired!"

Upon hearing Lin Shi's words, Xia Ye immediately shouted out loud, abandoning the competition, and whispered:

"Lin Shi, good Lin Shi, the best Lin Shi, tell me secretly, are you with Su Ning Shuang now? You're really something, kid. I'm so envious."

Lin Shi, seeing Xia Ye's incredibly imaginative ideas and his own generational status change once again, felt utterly helpless. He said, "Get lost," then hung up the phone, tossed it aside, and prepared to go to sleep.

Seeing this, Natsuno dialed the number again.

After crawling to get the phone, Lin Shi hung up again, his eyes fixed on the phone, intending to hang up immediately if she dialed again.

However, Natsuno was, after all, a young lady from a wealthy family, and knew some social etiquette, so she didn't call again.

Looking at the quiet phone, Lin Shi took a breath, put the phone aside, and prepared to rest.

After closing my eyes, I instantly recalled the day.

First, she rushed to apologize to Su Ningshuang early in the morning, then stopped a man who tried to pick her up while shopping, and in the evening she went to Su's house for dinner, which almost scared her to death. Finally, she even participated in a car race, saying that it would make her famous.

wrong!

Lin Shi shouted in his heart:

He doesn't need fame, but others do. Ye Cheng hasn't found a job yet; how will she pay him back if she doesn't have one? What if she keeps putting it off and forgets about it?

Now is a great opportunity. Although he can't race cars, he can treat patients.

Lin Shi opened his eyes in the darkness, and a little drama involuntarily began to play out in his mind:

In the event of an accident on the racetrack, the consequences could be severe. The accompanying doctor, seeing the racer's pitiful state, shook his head in despair. The entire arena was filled with grief. Suddenly, Ye Cheng stepped forward: "I'll do it!" And with miraculous skill, she instantly saved a life.

Everyone was instantly shocked and amazed by Ye Cheng's medical skills. Then, everyone rushed to give her money, fearing that they might neglect this benefactor now if they needed it in the future.

And as her only friend here, they'll definitely try to curry favor with her. Then...

Thinking of this, Lin Shi laughed out loud, and his sleepiness dissipated by half.

Although the actual scene may not be too outrageous, people will definitely remember Ye Cheng, and they might ask him for help with a difficult problem in the future.

After clarifying his thoughts, he reached for his phone again, found Ye Cheng's number, and dialed it.

In such matters, you should at least ask the person involved for their opinion and see if they agree.

After briefly explaining the current situation and emphasizing that it might save a life, Ye Cheng immediately agreed and repeatedly thanked Lin Shi.

Hearing Ye Cheng's words of thanks, Lin Shi's ego grew: "Look, she even has to thank us."

After repeatedly saying "You're welcome," he hung up the phone.

After calming himself down, Ye Cheng's matter was resolved, and now the question became how to participate.

Lin Shi regretted not having thought of this question earlier, otherwise he wouldn't have refused so decisively.

She picked up her phone and called Xia Ye, speaking in a somewhat ingratiating voice:

"My dearest Miss Xia, what are you doing?"

Perhaps because of Lin Shi's recent coldness, Xia Ye's voice was somewhat calm, even indifferent:

"Is there anything I can do for you? If not, I'll hang up now. I'm a little tired."

Hearing the familiar words, Lin Shi's lips twitched, but needing a favor, he continued to flatter him:

"What are you talking about? Everyone knows Miss Xia is very young, very beautiful, and very healthy. How could she possibly go to bed so early?"

A few satisfied hums came from the other end of the phone: "Speak, what is it?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Shi felt that things were 99% done, since it was just a tour spot and wouldn't cause her any trouble. He continued:

"Look, Mount Akina is yours, right?"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Racing is a high-risk sport, right?"

Xia Ye was a little confused by what Lin Shi was saying. Didn't he suddenly want to participate in the competition? Why did he call it a high-risk sport? He replied, puzzled:

"So what exactly happened?"

"Shouldn't high-risk sports be accompanied by doctors? And here, by sheer coincidence, I have a wonderful doctor."

Hearing Lin Shi's solicitous voice, Xia Ye understood what had happened. A smile appeared on his face, and he said with a hint of threat:

"Oh, so that's what it is. It's not entirely impossible. But..."

"Tell me, I'll agree to anything."

"You and Su Ningshuang are really not together now?"
