Only Pei Yuye and Shen Zhi remained in the living room. The usually carefree boy suddenly became somewhat awkward, placing his hands neatly on his knees, his fingertips clenching tightly.

Shen Zhi merely turned her head in his direction, and Pei Yuye felt a sweat break out on his back, his heart pounding erratically.

"Um... Zhizhi, have some fruit first, I'll go get the design drawings I want to revise and show them to you."

"OK."

Shen Zhi smiled at Pei Yuye.

That one smile completely stunned Pei Yuye. When he stood up and took a step, his right foot bumped into his left foot, and he almost stumbled and fell. Fortunately, he quickly steadied himself.

Pei Yuye cursed himself for being spineless. He secretly glanced back at Shen Zhi. Fortunately, the girl was holding a strawberry in one hand and scrolling through her phone with the other, so she didn't notice his embarrassing moment. He breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Zhi processed an email from Country S. One of the calculation steps was a bit complicated and couldn't be explained in a few words, so she wanted to find some paper to write it down, take a picture, and send it over.

There happened to be some paper on the coffee table. When Shen Zhi reached for some, she caught a glimpse of the A4 papers scattered around her.

It's sheet music!

Shen Zhizhen only glanced at it, but subconsciously formed the tune in her mind and hummed a few lines along.

She frowned slightly, feeling that the climax was lacking, too thin, and the sense of depth was missing.

Shen Zhi picked up a pen from the table and clearly marked the modification ideas for chord adjustments and octave modulations in the blank space of the score. After writing it down, she put it down casually.

Just as she finished writing and was about to cross it out, Pei Shaoyuan happened to come downstairs.

"Zhizhi, why are you here all alone? Where are Xiaoye and your aunt?"

Shen Zhi paused slightly, forgetting to cross it out as soon as she was distracted.

"Brother Ye went to get the design drawings, and Aunt Ye went to chat with her girlfriends."

After many years, Pei Shaoyuan still looks as dashing as ever, and he maintains his fitness routine year after year. Unlike other middle-aged men, he has not gained weight and has instead exuded the gentle aura of a mature man.

Pei Shaoyuan chatted briefly with Shen Zhi with affection before his phone rang urgently again.

Uncle Pei seems to be very busy.

"Zhizhi, I'm sorry. I've been preparing for a TV series recently, and it's the first time I've done something like this. I didn't realize there were so many things to deal with."

"It's alright, Uncle Pei, you go about your business."

After Pei Shaoyuan answered the phone, Shen Zhi, with her sharp ears, heard a few keywords, such as theme song and interlude.

Then I saw Pei Shaoyuan take away the sheet music that was originally left on the coffee table.

!! !! Σ(⊙▽⊙「a

Oops... I forgot to cross it out...

"Okay, okay, I'll bring the sheet music over right now."

"Uncle Pei..."

"Zhizhi, Uncle will have a good chat with you during dinner tonight. I have some important business to attend to now. Have fun at home, make yourself at home!"

Before Shen Zhi could finish speaking, Pei Shaoyuan left in a hurry.

Shen Zhi pursed her lips, thinking to herself, "It should be alright, right..."

Shen Zhi shook her head, not thinking much about it, and focused on writing the calculation steps on the paper. After taking a picture, she sent it to the group chat of the S Country Research Institute.

After doing all this, she bumped into Pei Yuye's chin with a thud.

"hiss!"

"Brother Ye! I'm sorry... Why didn't you call me when you came back?" Shen Zhi said apologetically, rubbing his chin.

"I called out, but you were too focused to hear me..." Pei Yuye pointed to the paper in confusion. "Zhizhi, what are these words? I recognize every letter, but I can't understand them at all when they're put together. Is it a math problem or English?"

"Hehehe..."

It's a chemistry question.

Shen Zhi didn't explain further, stuffed the paper into her bag, and changed the subject:

"Have you gotten the design drawings yet? What kind of changes do you want? Let me see them~"

"Aww, great!"

Pei Yuye was just asking casually and had no intention of prying into Shen Zhi's privacy.

But Pei Yuye knew that Shen Zhi might be even more amazing than he currently knew... She was like a huge treasure trove, and the more you learned about her, the more astonishing she became.

The girl stared intently at the blueprint in her hand, her slender eyes casting a shadow beneath them, while stray strands of hair were casually tucked behind her ears.

Her profile is clean and smooth, with a small and delicate nose bridge; her focused and attentive expression is both quiet and captivating…

Shen Zhi's focused gaze possessed a unique charm, leaving Pei Yuye mesmerized. He subconsciously murmured to himself:

"What a nice view……"

"What?"

Pei Yuye then realized that she had just spoken her true feelings aloud, and in her panic, her face turned bright red:

"N-nothing."

Shen Zhi didn't delve into it. Her fingers quickly sketched with a pencil, correcting the original unreasonable frame weight distribution with just a few strokes. She also clearly marked the replacement models for the shock absorbers, turbocharger, and lightweight wheels. The entire modification plan was logically sound.

Pei Yuye then saw that Shen Zhi had already revised the design draft, and the draft alone was already amazing.

Pei Yuye's eyes widened in shock. "Zhizhi! You drew this freehand?! How many designers did you eat to draw this fast?!"

In the few minutes that Pei Yuye stared blankly at Shen Zhi's face, a cool and perfectly streamlined car model appeared on the paper.

Shen Zhi smiled faintly and stretched: "Take a look and see if you like it. If you don't like it, we can adjust it."

Pei Yuye took a closer look and became increasingly surprised by Shen Zhi's strength.

From the car's drag coefficient to the transmission configuration, every improvement precisely hits the racing effect he wants, making it countless times more perfect than the version he conceived himself.

"This doesn't need any adjustments at all! It's even more perfect than I imagined! I'm so satisfied! Zhizhi, you're amazing!"

"I'm glad you like it~ But do you have any of these parts I used? If not, it might be better to get a different set..."

"Yes! Our club updates its parts very quickly. If a part isn't available on the market, I'll get it for you. Don't worry about that!"

Shen Zhi clicked her tongue enviously a few times, "Once this car is modified, I want to be the first to drive it around the track!"

"Wouldn't that give me the blessing of a racing god?"

Shen Zhi smiled and responded to the teasing remark:

"Brother Ye, you're the racing champion, shouldn't you be giving me your blessings?"

Pei Yuye folded his hands behind his head and gave a self-deprecating smile:

"I, the racing god, was utterly crushed by you and Brother Linchuan, leaving not even a trace. Zhizhi, stop teasing me."

Shen Zhiying smiled gently.

"But... I'm not that surprised you can race, but I didn't expect Lin Chuan's skills to be so good. I'll have to ask him about it another day and make him treat me to dinner!"

Upon hearing Shen Linchuan's name, Shen Zhi was momentarily dazed, which ironically reminded her of something.

Yes, what has Shen Linchuan been through all these years...? He seems to know just as much as I do, and I never expected him to have such a wide range of interests.

—What does Zhizhi like?

The words suddenly popped into Shen Zhi's mind, startling her back to reality.

What lingered in her mind was the look in Shen Linchuan's eyes that day—deep, focused…

"Gardenia, gardenia!"

"what?"

"Your phone has been ringing for a long time, aren't you going to answer it?"

Shen Zhi subconsciously looked at her phone and saw the "Big Bad Guy" nickname jumping around on it, causing her to catch her breath slightly.

Whatever you think about comes true.
