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

Xia Ye pulled Lin Shi, and Lin Shi pulled Ye Cheng; the three of them ran towards the racetrack.

The person who had approached him earlier saw this, exchanged a glance with the person next to him, and nearly crushed the champagne glass in his hand with his fingers.

Mommy, one pretty girl is enough to stop us, but why are there two of them? And one of them is the second young lady of the Xia family! Aren't you afraid her father will drown you in the river tonight?

Lin Shi, of course, had no idea what they were thinking, and was dragged by Xia Ye to a room on the second floor.

Push open the door:

First, three large monitors were placed against the wall. One showed the entire mountain road of Akina, another showed the view of a specific camera, and the last one displayed densely packed data graphs, presumably a real-time display of remote sensing data from the race.

To the side, a long sideboard had an ice bucket piled high with steaming champagne and glasses. Next to it were various fruits and desserts, beautifully presented and looking delicious.

The other half features a comfortable-looking sofa facing the monitor, providing a convenient place for guests to watch the game and relax.

Lin Shi looked at the small room, its luxurious decorations tinged with envy. He walked to the window and gazed at the crowds moving below. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Seeing Lin Shi's strange behavior, Xia Ye walked over to him, pressed his upper body against Lin Shi's, and looked at Lin Shi's closed eyes, his heart filled with curiosity:

"What's wrong?"

Lin Shi closed his eyes, took another deep breath, and inhaled the luxurious scent that filled the room. He frowned slightly, noticing a faint fragrance wafting through the air. He didn't pay it any mind, assuming it was just room aromatherapy, and slowly replied:

"It's so good to be rich. I want to be rich and have a house like this too."

After saying that, he slowly opened his eyes, wanting to take another look at the crowd downstairs and enjoy that feeling of looking down on them.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Xia Ye's delicate baby face, and her eyes were smiling as she winked at him.

Startled, Lin Shi stumbled back several steps, nearly losing his balance, but thankfully Ye Cheng caught him from behind. The immense force instantly straightened Lin Shi.

Lin Shi turned to look at Ye Cheng, thanking her repeatedly, but inwardly he was filled with shock:

"Holy crap, does she really have some kind of superpower? Is she that strong?"

He felt as if a bull had just charged at him with its powerful forelegs. He immediately stopped walking backward.

Ye Cheng looked at Lin Shi's face, which revealed that he was thinking about something impolite, and used a skill she had learned as a girl to pinch Lin Shi's waist hard.

The sudden pain made Lin Shi spring up instantly and lunge forward.

He was still unsteady. He was still being supported, but this time it was Natsuno who reached out his hand.

Because of his long-standing love for racing and motorcycles, he had developed a muscular physique and managed to block Lin Shi's movements with both hands, preventing the two of them from being directly pressed against the glass.

Before Lin Shi could react, Xia Ye's arm suddenly bent slightly, causing him to move his body forward a little, bringing his face closer to Xia Ye's.

"So you want this house that badly that you're practically throwing yourself at me."

Xia Ye grinned mischievously, deliberately winking to showcase her exceptional genetic talent:

"Sure, as long as you..."

Halfway through his sentence, Natsuno deliberately drew out a long syllable to maintain suspense.

The entire room instantly fell silent.

As Lin Shi listened to Xia Ye's soft voice and looked at her delicate face, his heart began to race uncontrollably.

Although it looks a bit unconventional, this face is really cute!!!

He swallowed hard, somewhat anticipating what Natsuno was going to say.

Time fell silent for a second, then two seconds.

Xia Ye suddenly pushed Lin Shi away, quickly pulled a piece of paper from his pocket with his left hand, placed it in front of Lin Shi, and continued:

"As long as you become my contracted race car driver."

"Tch~"

Lin Shi and Ye Cheng spoke at the same time, and Xia Ye deliberately made them think the wrong thing, wasting the feelings they had just shared.

Xia Ye chuckled and continued to press the paper close to Lin Shi's eyes, blocking his view, while coaxing him in a coquettish tone:

"Sign it, sign it, if you sign it I'll give you the house for free~~".

But his right hand secretly lowered itself, clutching the hem of his clothes and rubbing it constantly, while his heart pounded faster and faster.

My heart was pounding so hard just now.

Not seeing Xia Ye's actions, Lin Shi took the paper off his face and said with a sarcastic tone:

"Even if you stick the contract on my face, I can't sign it even if I want to."

Xia Ye chuckled again without saying a word, but a blush crept onto his face. Like a crab, he moved step by step to the long table, turned his back to the others, and began to savor the food.

Lin Shi looked at the contract, but his mind drifted back to Xia Ye's slightly blushing face, which he had just caught a glimpse of.

It must be the shyness I felt after my rant. This woman is damn cute.

Remembering how Xia Ye had teased him earlier, he tightened his grip on the contract, venting his anger at himself for finding this little devil so endearing. The once smooth paper was now crumpled into several wrinkles.

I tried to calm myself down and focus all my attention on the contract. After glancing at it twice, I slammed my hand on the table.

"What kind of contract is this?!"

Hearing the sound, Natsuno shuddered but didn't turn around; he just quickly stuffed food into his mouth.

Ye Cheng walked up curiously and looked at the table.

Contract Clause 1: The contract adopts a lifetime employment system, and those who violate the contract shall pay 50% of their future wealth as compensation.

Contract Clause 2: Must go to the racetrack at least 5 days a week to prepare for races, exchange ideas with the team manager, and discuss matters together.

........

.......

It can no longer be called a contract; it's basically a servitude agreement.

Ye Cheng pouted, feeling that something was wrong the more she looked at it, but as a "child" who had only been born a few days ago, she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong.

The room fell silent again, and the atmosphere grew increasingly awkward.

Natsuno slowly turned his body and looked at the sunny girl, saying:

"Ye Cheng, would you like something to eat? It's quite delicious."

Upon hearing this, Ye Cheng immediately put down the contract in her hand, nodded heavily, and ran over.

Lin Shi stopped hesitating and joined in, saying, "Hey, that raspberry is the last one. Save it for me. I saw it as soon as I came in."

The three of them had a happy meal, especially Xia Ye, who ate and drank to her heart's content, showing off six glasses of champagne that were kept in the freezer.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter!"

Natsuno called out.

The racing room manager pushed open the door and walked in, looking at Xia Ye and saying:

"Miss, the opening procession is about to begin."

Upon hearing this, Xia Ye suddenly froze, his gaze slowly shifting to the empty champagne glass in his hand.

Everyone's gaze followed hers to the cup.

"Natsuno, don't tell me you're going to be the opening parade."
