Car Racing without Money-Chapter 262 - 127: Evolutionary Strength (Double-Length)
Additionally, Qin Lianjie mentioned he was very familiar with the East Bay Circuit, which made Chen Xiangbei consider heading to Australia earlier to do a couple of laps.
After much hesitation, Chen Xiangbei still decided to set off the next day!
As before, Chen Xiangbei left alone in the morning with his luggage; he doesn’t like the fussiness of farewells.
However, this time as Chen Xiangbei walked to the entrance of the community, he saw a familiar figure pacing back and forth, none other than Hu Lingfei, who had previously almost been bullied by Ma Minghan.
At the same time, Hu Lingfei, carrying a school bag, also saw Chen Xiangbei and froze in place, disbelief filling her eyes.
Since Chen Xiangbei dropped out to pursue racing, Hu Lingfei felt as if he had disappeared from her life. She sent numerous QQ messages but received no reply and often had to muster up the courage to inquire about him from Aunt Zhao.
Over time, Hu Lingfei habitually lingered at the breakfast shop at the community entrance, just like before, waiting for Chen Xiangbei to come out for school.
Half a year passed quietly like this, and just when Hu Lingfei no longer held any expectations, Chen Xiangbei suddenly appeared before her eyes, and for a moment, she felt as if she were dreaming.
"Long time no see."
Chen Xiangbei waved and greeted her proactively.
Hearing Chen Xiangbei’s voice, Hu Lingfei snapped back to reality.
She didn’t know whether to be happy or to say something else.
Her mind went blank and she instinctively replied, "Long time no see."
"The college entrance exam is coming up soon, is your study schedule hectic?"
Chen Xiangbei didn’t notice Hu Lingfei’s odd reaction. To him, it seemed like a typical "long time no see" between classmates or friends, exchanging a few casual words.
"Yeah."
Seeing that Hu Lingfei was still as shy and introverted as ever, Chen Xiangbei smiled.
Then he suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, has that punk Ma Minghan been bothering you again?"
"No."
Hu Lingfei shook her head.
Then she added, "He seems to be pursuing Dong Yuanxi now."
Ma Minghan pursuing Dong Yuanxi?
Hearing this, Chen Xiangbei burst out laughing.
Unless Dong Yuanxi has gone blind, there’s no way she would fancy someone like Ma Minghan.
Just then, a taxi approached from afar, and Chen Xiangbei quickly waved it down.
"Xiangbei, are you going somewhere again?"
"Yeah, I’m heading to Port Island."
The taxi, having seen Chen Xiangbei’s signal, soon stopped in front of him.
"Then I’ll be off. See you next time."
Chen Xiangbei opened the car door, intending to get in straight away.
"Xiangbei..."
Seeing this, Hu Lingfei finally couldn’t hold back her impulse and called out his name.
"Is there anything else?"
Chen Xiangbei turned around and asked with some confusion.
"I..."
"I... nothing."
The words reached her lips, but Hu Lingfei ultimately didn’t voice them. She didn’t even know what she could say.
"Bye-bye."
Chen Xiangbei waved and got into the taxi.
Hu Lingfei just stood there, watching the taxi slowly disappear from her sight.
She couldn’t quite tell if she was grateful to Chen Xiangbei or if there were other emotions mixed in.
It’s just that in youthful days, encountering someone too remarkable can turn them into a white moonlight kind of existence.
Even if others forget, she can never let it go.
Just like when Hu Lingfei felt the most afraid and helpless, Chen Xiangbei appeared by her side.
Of course, the rather oblivious Chen Xiangbei in the taxi didn’t realize the complex feelings of the young girl.
At this moment, he took out his phone and was composing a message, sending his departure time to both Qin Lianjie and Zhang Zhicong.
Meanwhile, on Port Island, Zhang Zhicong was meeting with an international superstar with a big nose.
Zhang Zhicong was unaware that Chen Xiangbei had already secured a sponsorship deal with Jiuli Sports. He hoped to leverage his connections and influence to help Chen Xiangbei secure more sponsorship funds to cover the costs of participating in events and prepare for future attempts to secure an F1 spot.
This international superstar was very passionate about racing and had plans to form a top-notch team. Zhang Zhicong hoped they would take notice of Chen Xiangbei.
