Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1030 – Wish Complete!

Lin Yi wanted to go on and read the next wish after finishing, but some of the girls were already entering the classroom! Xiaoxiao was probably coming in soon.

He quickly exited and turned on a mobile game.

Xiaoxiao and Yushu entered the room together, talking and laughing, as if they weren’t enemies before. But you could tell that they weren’t too close yet, although, achieving that in one day was impossible.

Xiaoxiao sat down beside Lin Yi, and saw him using her phone. She was curious, “What’re you doing?”

“Playing a game,” Lin Yi acted as if he’d just saw Xiaoxiao enter. He put the phone down, “You’re back!”

“Yeah, I’m back,” Xiaoxiao took her phone and looked at the game on the screen, “Still want to play?”

“No,” Lin Yi shook his head, “This phone’s pretty good, I’ll go buy one soon maybe.”

“Then buy this one! We’ll have the same couple’s phone!” Xiaoxiiao said as she turned off the game and put it in her pocket, not thinking that the wishes had been seen.

“Yeah…” Lin Yi said casually.

Lin Yi saying yes immediately froze Xiaoxiao! She didn’t expect him to agree this quickly! He would have rejected her right from the get go in the past!

“Then we’ll go to a phone shop after school?” Xiaoxiao said, excited.

“We’ll see,” Lin Yi shook his head. “They’ll be closed by the time school ends, maybe we’ll go on the weekends.”

“Okay!” Xiaoxiao assumed that Lin Yi was about to placate her with just a ‘we’ll see’, but that wasn’t the case! She was happy again.

“Xiaoxiao, why’re you always asking me to teach you how to race?” Lin Yi changed the topic to the wish. He thought she was messing around, and didn’t think that she had a racer dream.

“Because… I’m interested in cars! After watching Fast and Furious, I wanted to become a racer!” Xiaoxiao smiled, not hiding her dream, “But I know this isn’t possible- I’m not good enough to participate.”

“Oh… I see,” Lin Yi nodded, “I thought you were just messing around, but if you really want to become a racer, I can teach you!”

“Really?” Xiaoxiao’s eyes went wide- happiness was hitting her too hard, she wasn’t mentally prepared yet! Good things kept happening these past two days, and she couldn’t handle them! She felt like she was dreaming, it didn’t feel real!

“Of course. Have I ever lied when I promised something?” Lin Yi smiled.

“Um…” Xiaoxiao was so excited she couldn’t speak. But she calmed down after a while. She sighed. “It’s fine, maybe I shouldn’t. Driving isn’t something you can learn that quickly in a short while, you need intensive training… and… and I don’t have that patience, I think!”

Xiaoxiao was saying that as a way to decline the offer- what she was worried of was the fact that she couldn’t live on for too long. Even if she used her remaining time to learn how to race, she wouldn’t be able to make a name for herself, so might as well do something else with that time.

But, Lin Yi managed to hear something from what Xioaxiao said. Xiaoxiao said she didn’t have the patience- that actually meant she didn’t have the time!

Lin Yi sighed in his heart, but kept his poker face, “There should be those illegal racing competitions in Songshan, right? You haven’t been to one?”

“I have, of course I have!” Xiaoxiao was enthusiastic again when it came to racing, her sadness washed away, “At Bolong Mountain Road, there’s an illegal racing place there. Every Friday they host a competition! People train their racing skills there too, when it’s empty.”

“Oh, did you try joining the competition?” Lin Yi smiled as he asked.

“I’m not good enough, it’s just normal practice. No way I can enter a real competition!” Xiaoxiao shook her head.

“So what if you lose? It’s just one competition,” Lin Yi said, “It’d be a good experience if you at least participated.”

“It’s not so simple! You need to pay the price if you lose!” Xiaoxiao shook her head, “The loser needs to give the winner two hundred thousand! I don’t have that much money, unless I sell myself maybe!”

Lin Yi knew it- there was something like this involved after all, or these illegal races wouldn’t be happening in the first place! Two hundred thousand wasn’t a lot to him, but it was to Xiaoxiao! If she was rich, she wouldn’t have just bought an Audi TT, and would’ve went for an Audi R8 or something.

“Then wouldn’t you get two hundred thousand if you win?” Lin Yi asked.

“No, the winner gets one hundred fifty thousand- the organization takes the other fity!” XIoaixoa said.

“Oh? This organization’s pretty profitable!” Lin Yi said dully. This had nothing to do with him, however, so he didn’t bother with it. Even Song Lingshan wasn’t bothering with it, why would Lin Yi care about some random illegal racing organization?

“Yeah, there’s at least ten races every week, they get to earn five hundred thousand! You can buy a car with that!” Xiaoxiao said, envious.

“But getting that one fifty isn’t bad either- let’s go race on Friday, and earn that money to buy my phone,” Lin Yi smiled. “What do you think?”

“Ah? You want to go race with me?” Xiaoxiao blinked, eyes wide.

“Yeah. You don’t want to?” LIn Yi asked.

“No no, I want to!” Xiaoxiao nodded quickly, worried that Lin Yi would change his mind, “We’re really going racing? Hahahaha, nice! I finally get to race!”

“You want to drive?” Lin Yi was a little speechless at Xiaoxiao’s happy face. It was him driving if they raced, after all, since Xiaoxiao would lose for sure if she drove.

“Uh… Oh right… We’d lose if I drive…” Xiaoxiao looked a little down again.

One look at that face and Lin Yi made a decision- it was a little dangerous, but this danger wasn’t much to Lin Yi, it was still within his control.

When school ended, Xiaoxiao left for home in her own car, a little disappointed that she couldn’t ride in Lin Yi’s car. After all, she had a car herself, and so if she didn’t want to drive home and force Lin Yi to take her instead, it’d be a bit of a stretch.
