"We've already made enough money in the past few days, and we have to thank you guys for your free publicity."
Duan Zilian rubbed her sore shoulders and sighed helplessly.
Thinking back to the intense business a few days ago that made Ultraman's lights flash red, if Yukino Yukinoshita hadn't taken over the order like a divine intervention, they probably wouldn't even have the energy to stand and chat right now.
"I see. Well then, it's a shame we didn't get to have a drink before the match."
The handsome Spanish man shrugged, then his eyes lit up.
"By the way, are you going to watch the game live?"
"Ah...I went to see it."
"In that case, would you like to sit on my back? I can show you the thrill of racing at 200 mph."
Seeing the invitation from the handsome Spanish man in front of her, Duan Zilian smiled and was about to politely decline.
"Sorry, handsome, this young man is already reserved for me today."
The next second, a languid, mature female voice suddenly came from the other side of the street.
The bright red Aston Martin came to a steady stop in front of Duan Zilian.
Immediately afterwards, the car window rolled down, and Hiratsuka Shizuka, wearing sunglasses, rested one hand on the steering wheel, exuding a mature and intellectual aura.
The handsome Spanish man glanced at the charismatic Hiratsuka Shizuka standing beside him, then at the strikingly handsome Danzi Rei standing on the steps, and instantly understood what was going on.
"Oh—I get it, I understand!" The handsome Spanish man gave a knowing smile that all men would understand.
He stepped forward, patted Duan Zilian on the shoulder, and gave him a thumbs up: "Have a nice weekend, lucky guy!"
After saying that, he put on his helmet, and together with his companion, they revved the engine and drove off laughing.
"...Hey, what exactly do you understand?"
Duan Zilian sighed and rubbed her forehead, then looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka beside her.
"Hiratsuka-sensei, your timing is just right. I've already been successfully identified by the foreign friends as a 'pretty boy kept by a rich woman'."
Duan Zilian opened the car door and jokingly sat in the passenger seat.
"Hahaha! Isn't that great? You won't have to work hard anymore."
Hiratsuka Shizuka, however, was unimpressed; rather, she had been waiting for such an opportunity by the roadside all along.
"Alright, buckle up, or we'll have to wait in line soon."
"Yes Yes Yes."
Duan Zilian responded, rolled down the car window, and waved towards the coffee shop.
"Future-san! I'm off! Remember to wake up Kai-san, he'll definitely regret missing such an exciting match today!"
"Okay—be careful on the road—"
A lighthearted voice drifted out from under the door.
Accompanied by the roar of an Aston Martin, the red sports car merged into the traffic heading to Sodezaki Circuit.
Inside the coffee shop, Hibino Mirai also shouted towards the attic on the second floor.
"Kaisang, Duan Jun has already left, so don't keep lying in his bed."
"Phew... Ah, I heard everything you just said..."
Hong Kai's listless, longing voice came from the attic.
"I don't care about watching motorcycles go around in circles, I just want to merge with this bed... until the earth is destroyed..."
Future smiled helplessly and shook her head, then continued wiping the shiny coffee cups.
…………
Chiba, below a high-end hotel.
"Okay, that's perfect."
Kaguya Shinomiya zipped up the motorcycle jacket on Ai Hayasaka's body to its highest point, then took two steps back and clapped her hands with a satisfied expression.
"Hayasaka looks really cool right now, like a knight from a story."
"You flatter me, Miss... It's nothing serious."
Hearing her young mistress's generous praise, Hayasaka Ai felt a little shy.
"Haha, but you have to do your best today! I'll be applauding you from the best spot!"
Kaguya stepped forward and gave Hayasaka Ai a hug, then gently pushed her towards the motorcycle passage outside the door.
"Alright, you go report to the driver's camp first. I still have some pre-race preparations to take care of."
Today, Kaguya Shinomiya specially chose a sophisticated black swan dress, paired with a white French lace blouse.
The dress accentuated her noble and innocent charm befitting a wealthy heiress.
[Duan Jun will also be at the competition today... Should we meet him? Would this outfit be too formal for a meeting?]
But... if I just stand there in the VIP stands without saying goodbye, wouldn't that be too heartless of me...?
And so, with the tender feelings of a young girl in love, Kaguya Shinomiya got into a long black Lincoln limousine and drove towards the center of power.
…………
Only after the car lights disappeared from sight did Hayasaka Ai slowly put on her helmet, her thoughts becoming increasingly complicated.
She lowered her head and stared at her face through the black dashboard.
Although she had changed into a motorcycle outfit symbolizing speed and freedom, she felt that the mask on her face was getting deeper and deeper.
"call……"
She took a deep breath and slowly started the car.
"Vroom..." The engine emitted a muffled sound, and then, like Red Kai who had just finished his work, it completely shut down.
"Hmm?" Hayasaka Ai frowned slightly. Why couldn't it start?
She pressed the ignition button again.
"Buzz...Pfft..." The electronic numbers on the dashboard suddenly displayed a string of gibberish, but the engine still didn't respond.
It wasn't until her third attempt that the steel beast finally managed to wake up, emitting a low growl as it idled.
Hayasaka Ai watched this scene with her lips pursed, her heart filled with increasing bitterness and gloom.
What's going on... even the electronic ignition system is experiencing a delay.
Could it be... that Young Master Yunying has had someone tamper with the car again?
She subconsciously assumed this was a targeted attack from her family, so she swallowed her bitterness and slowly drove away from the hotel.
However, she didn't know that it wasn't just her racing car.
At this very moment, on the roads leading to the racetrack, whether it's Shizuka Hiratsuka's top-of-the-line Aston Martin or the racing cars that the foreign riders are so proud of.
All modern vehicles experienced a brief electronic malfunction and delay at this moment.
That's strange, really strange.
Chapter 259 Isn't the sidewalk there quite spacious?
"Wow! This is so exciting!! I never expected to catch such a big festival right after returning to Chiba!!"
Outside the Chiba Sodesaki Forest Circuit, Fujiwara Chika looked excitedly at the dazzling crowd and fluttering flags before her.
Just hearing the engines of the racing cars warming up inside the stadium made her feel her blood surging.
"Dad! I want to ride a motorcycle too! Can you sign me up now?!"
Chika turned her head, her eyes sparkling as she looked at her father.
"Little Qianhua, isn't it too late for you to say this now? The list has already been decided."
Fujiwara Daichi sighed helplessly at his daughter's unpredictable way of thinking and smiled slightly.
"I'll drive the car to the underground parking garage first. You can take the invitation and go straight in through the VIP entrance. Don't wander around."
As he spoke, Fujiwara Daichi drove his Toyota Century slowly into the traffic.
"Okay! But isn't it too early to go in now?"
Chika pouted, then excitedly pulled out a pair of binoculars from her small handbag.
"Let Lady Qianhua check if there are any familiar faces who have gotten lost in the crowd first..."
She pointed her eyes at the lens, surveying her territory like a lion.
"Ah... I spotted Yukinoshita! She's already inside. Is that her older sister next to her? She has such a strong presence."
Fujiwara Chika saw Yukino Yukinoshita not far away and couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, she definitely has a strong presence."
Immediately afterwards, Chika Fujiwara turned the binoculars to the other side.
"...Target two confirmed! Huh?! Ishigami-kun is here too?! What a huge discovery!!"
"Oh...?! That's quite surprising."
"Right, right! Let me see who else... Wait, no!!!"
The telescope's field of view was still moving, but Fujiwara Chika finally noticed the voice that had been speaking in her ear and abruptly put down the telescope.
The next second, as soon as she turned her head, she met the gaze of a delicate face that was inches away from hers.
The boy was bending down, looking at her with great interest.
"Ah...! It's Duan!! Target three captured, hehehe."
Upon seeing who it was, Fujiwara Chika instantly broke into a bright smile, and two small flowers bloomed in the background behind her.
"Long time no see, Duan! But this ghost-like entrance deserves zero points!"
"Long time no see, Secretary Fujiwara, you still have so much energy."
Duan Zilian smiled gently. After going through so many battles, it was still heartwarming to meet a classmate she hadn't seen for a while.
"Of course! Lady Chika is always full of energy!"
Chika put her hands on her hips triumphantly, "There must be a lot of people from school watching the game, I have to find them all one by one!!"
"From what you're saying, does 'people at school' include me?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka's cheerful voice came from the crowd beside Danzi Rei as she walked over, turning her car keys with a flourish.
"Is that Fujiwara, the student council secretary of Shuchiin University?"
Upon seeing this person of considerable importance, Hiratsuka Shizuka was initially taken aback, but then used her exceptional memory to complete the match.
"Ah! It's Mr. Hiratsuka from Soubu High School, right? I know you, you're Yukinoshita and Dan's homeroom teacher!"
Chika held up one finger, clearly very satisfied with her memory.
"Yes, it's me."
Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded in satisfaction, which drew a soft chuckle from Danzi Rei standing next to her.
Just then, as Fujiwara Chika looked at the two figures standing side by side in front of her, she suddenly sensed something was wrong.
She scanned the crowd around her. There were quite a few couples, but at a glance, they were mostly lovers or parents with their children.
Fujiwara Chika's eyes widened as she scanned back and forth between Hiratsuka Shizuka and Danji Rei.
"Wait a minute... Duan, did you come with the teacher today?!"
"Yes, I drove him here. What's wrong? Is it strange?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka countered with a dismissive question.
"What?! They really came together!!"
In that instant, Fujiwara Chika's mind was filled with a storm of love, and her black ribbon trembled.
Wait a minute! A high school boy... is spending the weekend with a mature and sophisticated single female teacher...
[Could it be?! Could this be the legendary "older man/older woman" strategy of overwhelming the opponent?!]
