My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 617 - 019:_2

Perhaps their race was rather interesting, as four or five spectators gathered behind them, also laughing and shouting, "Miss, you gotta give it your all! We’re all supporting you."

Yun Xi turned her head to glance at them, grinned, and formally entered the race. The two cars took off simultaneously, making it impossible to distinguish who was ahead initially. However, during the second lap, Yun Xi unexpectedly and luckily picked up a treasure box. The box contained a card that could make any car stop for ten seconds. Yun Xi was thrilled and instantly used the card on Lu Xize. The spectators behind couldn’t help but cheer, drawing more gamers nearby to gather around and enjoy the excitement.

The second race turned out to be without suspense. Initially, their speeds were neck and neck, but due to that ten-second stop, Lu Xize ultimately lost. He could only shrug in resignation.

So, the third race would be the final showdown. Yun Xi took a deep breath and exchanged a glance with Lu Xize. "Are you scared?"

"Kidding me? Scared of you? It’s still up in the air who wins or loses! Let’s wrap it up quickly, ready for the third round?"

"Sure."

During the crucial third round, the two remained evenly matched, but this time, it was Lu Xize who picked up a treasure box. This time, the card from the box was to throw an obstacle in front of Yun Xi’s car. Hearing the spectators behind mention that he picked up a treasure box, Yun Xi’s face turned into one of complete resignation. Yet unexpectedly, Lu Xize never used the card, not even until the final lap.

Yun Xi instinctively glanced at him and, right at a corner, her drift went off, and she didn’t quite make it, hitting the roadside barrier and slowing down. Just then, Lu Xize took the chance to overtake her.

Yun Xi quickly maneuvered her car back onto the track, desperately catching up, while Lu Xize seemed intentionally to wait for her, deliberately slowing down. But at the finish line, Lu Xize still crossed a second ahead of her.

"So, how is it? Admit defeat?" Lu Xize looked rather pleased with the result, raising an eyebrow at Yun Xi.

Yun Xi knew he had deliberately gone easy on her in this round, and besides, he hadn’t even used that card. She pouted, "Tch, so what if I lost! It only costs me two months’ worth of meals! I can afford it. Do you think you’re going to eat me into poverty? Get real."

"Great, very generous." Lu Xize laughed and gave her a thumbs up.

The group of onlookers, having watched the end of the race, echoed a couple of comments before dispersing.

"What’s wrong? Not happy?" While Yun Xi was playing other games, Lu Xize noticed she seemed unusually quiet, so quiet that it felt a bit off to him, so he leaned over to ask.

"No." Yun Xi was focused, her eyes tracking the ball on the screen, and casually responded with two words.

"Really not?"

"What could I be unhappy about? I lost, so I lost! I’m a girl, losing to a guy like you isn’t embarrassing. But if you lost to me, I’m guessing the one embarrassed would be you."

Lu Xize chuckled aloud, seeing her enjoying herself, he glanced around before casually pulling out dozens of game tokens from his bag. "You keep playing here, wait for me, and don’t run off on your own, I’ll be back shortly."

"Huh? Where are you going?" Upon hearing this, Yun Xi finally shifted her gaze from the ball to look at him and asked.

"It’s a secret, just wait for me, play your game, and don’t lose again, remember not to wander off! Stay here and wait for me to come back." Lu Xize winked at her charmingly and turned to leave.

Yun Xi was speechless and only took her gaze off after he disappeared from her sight. She glanced at her own ball and found she had already lost, pouting in frustration, but a hint of defiance persisted in her heart, so she inserted two more tokens and started a new round.

Whether she was too restless at the moment or what, she lost three consecutive rounds, making Yun Xi stomp her feet in anger. She was in a stubborn battle with the game, deciding not to leave the machine until she won at least once today.

After playing several more rounds, Yun Xi nearly smashed the machine in frustration. Feeling particularly unsettled, she inserted two more tokens and silently vowed to win this time.

Just as the first ball launched, a hand suddenly reached out in front of her, obstructing her view with several small stuffed toys. Yun Xi was taken aback and instinctively turned her head to find a pair of familiar, playful peach blossom eyes full of cheerful mischief staring back at her.
