Lin Yan found an empty seat in a corner, a more secluded spot.
As soon as he sat down, Lin Yan pushed one of the two plates in his hand to the opposite side.
"See if there's anything else you want to eat. You're so thin, eat more and gain some weight."
"There's juice over there, I'll get two cups."
Hearing Lin Yan's words, Su Mojin touched her flat stomach, seemingly contemplating whether or not to maintain her figure.
Su Mojin had a tendency to gain weight easily. The reason her figure wasn't very prominent usually was because she exercised frequently. In the past few days, because she had to come to Country T to accompany Lin Yan for his competition, she had rushed her work ahead of time, thus squeezing out her exercise time. She had indeed gained quite a bit of weight during this period.
After a moment of simple deliberation, Su Mojin decided to prioritize eating first, and diet later. Yes, definitely later.
Casually grabbing two cups of lemonade, Su Mojin walked back. When she returned, Lin Yan was already popping a peeled lobster tail into his mouth. In public, Lin Yan's eating manners were quite casual.
"Can't you be a bit more refined?"
Setting down the lemonade, Su Mojin took out a tissue from her pocket and wiped Lin Yan's mouth, acting like a devoted wife.
Compared to Lin Yan's way of eating, Su Mojin's was much more refined, her small mouth slightly open, chewing slowly and deliberately.
During the time they were eating, more racers entered from the door, including Reissk, who had just finished his race. He seemed to have seen Lin Yan and glanced over a few times.
Lin Yan was focused on his meal and didn't notice him.
After the meal, Lin Yan took Su Mojin to an adjacent massage parlor. The massage therapists here were both male and female, mostly female. He casually picked two, and Lin Yan led Su Mojin into a private room.
After a satisfying meal and a massage, by the time Lin Yan was ready to take Su Mojin back to their RV, it was already past six in the evening, nearing seven.
Hand in hand, they strolled back, digesting their meal and admiring the sunset in Country T.
The daytime in Country T was a bit longer than in their home country. If it were their country now, the sky would probably be almost dark.
"Honey, a year has passed in a blink of an eye. Time flies so fast."
Holding Lin Yan's hand, Su Mojin sighed wistfully as they slowly walked back to the RV. Time truly passed too quickly; it had been over a year in the blink of an eye.
"Yeah, probably in another blink, I'll be retiring."
The afterglow of the setting sun was already half-covered by the mountains. Lin Yan stretched and put his arm around Su Mojin's shoulders from behind.
"You retiring? That's still a long way off. Ten years isn't that fast."
"Who says? One year is a blink, so ten years is just ten blinks? When that day truly comes, we might still be here sighing about how fast time has passed, just like today."
Speaking of this, Lin Yan couldn't help but feel a touch of melancholy. Time always flashed by, impossible to grasp or hold onto.
...
Wandering through the scenery, on their way back, Lin Yan and Su Mojin encountered the brothers Reissk and Reisner halfway. The two of them were also out for a stroll after their meal, and they seemed to be discussing matters related to racing.
Lin Yan guessed that Reisner was imparting experience to his younger brother.
As they were brothers, no one said anything about the two of them walking together in different team uniforms.
Lin Yan saw them, and naturally, Reisner and Reissk also saw Lin Yan.
"Say hello to Brother Lin."
"Hello, Brother Lin. Hello, Sister-in-law."
After Reisner joined Lin Yan's team, Reissk had also become much more polite. Lin Yan remembered that this kid wouldn't have called them that before.
Lin Yan nodded in response.
"Yes, your qualifying run just now was good, but your riding style is a bit too aggressive. That's not a good thing. You can ask your brother to help you adjust it when you have time."
Lin Yan patted Reissk on the shoulder, offering a piece of advice.
This kid was indeed a promising talent, but honestly, this riding style might lead to trouble in the future.
Reissk was definitely one of the most aggressive riders Lin Yan had ever seen, not just aggressive, but extremely aggressive, comparable to Ximeng from the previous era.
How dangerous this style was, Lin Yan could only describe it with one sentence: if you rode like this on the Isle of Man, you'd be attending a funeral before the end of the second lap.
Hearing Lin Yan's words, Reisner also sighed. He knew his brother's style had its drawbacks, but the problem was that the latter wouldn't listen.
Reisner also understood that if Reissk changed his style now, his strength might drop out of the top five. This wasn't just talk; it was a high probability. Once a style is established, it's very difficult to change.
"Yes, okay, I understand. Thank you for your guidance, senior. I will reflect on it when I get back."
In front of Lin Yan, Reissk was very polite. Reisner knew it would be a miracle if this kid actually took anything to heart.
