Lin Yan: ...
"Say that again!"
Lin Yan wrapped his arm around Su Mojin, threateningly.
As if he was incapable. How could that be possible?
If his little girl dared to spout nonsense again, he wouldn't mind teaching her a lesson tonight.
Held in Lin Yan's embrace, seeing the mischievous smile on her man's lips, Su Mojin pursed her lips. She was quite afraid of Lin Yan.
In fact, Lin Yan wasn't using any strength at all, just holding her gently. And Su Mojin had only been joking just now.
"Quick, tell me, when did you get a little brother?"
After a bit of playful teasing, Su Mojin nestled in Lin Yan's arms.
"What little brother!"
"There, he just said it, that she's your little brother."
Lin Yan's mouth twitched as he looked at Jiang Qiyan on the screen. Such a good girl, why did she like to talk nonsense?
"I don't know her."
Lin Yan confessed honestly.
"Really?"
"Really!"
Lin Yan nodded.
Seeing her man's relatively sincere gaze, Su Mojin finally managed to set her half-jealous heart straight.
...
Hearing Jiang Qiyan mention Lin Yan's name, Li Xiao was indeed a little scared, but he wasn't someone who backed down easily.
"Little girl, are you interested in a race?"
Just as everyone thought Li Xiao had chickened out, Li Xiao suddenly spoke coldly.
A race?
Everyone present was stunned.
Was this kid looking to get beaten? This girl had just secured pole position, the fastest lap, and was significantly ahead of second place.
Even Jiang Qiyan looked at Li Xiao as if he were an idiot. She now realized that this person in front of her was not only arrogant but also a bit dim-witted.
"Race? Sure, but you'd better not play any dirty tricks."
Jiang Qiyan was a typical fighter. If someone offered themselves up to be thrashed, it was naturally for the best.
Moreover, if she could beat him soundly and make him lose face in front of so many people, it would be a form of revenge.
Li Xiao wasn't stupid; on the contrary, he was very smart.
"A solo race is boring. How about we add some stakes? If you lose, I want your first-place prize."
Li Xiao had come for this prize and wouldn't let it go.
"Fine, but if you lose, you'll kneel and apologize to my brother."
Jiang Qiyan's gaze also turned a bit fierce.
Although this prize might be related to whether she could meet Lin Shen, Jiang Qiyan had absolute confidence in her own abilities.
She could handle a mere piece of trash.
"Don't agree too quickly. I haven't finished speaking. Your skills are better than mine, so you have to go easy on me."
"Sure, I'll let you run one second ahead."
Jiang Qiyan said nonchalantly.
"No, no, no. I'll use my Yamaha R7, and you use that RS660. If you win, I'll not only apologize to your brother, but I'll also kowtow to him three times."
Li Xiao enticed. How could a young girl be his opponent? He could toy with her as he pleased.
In the audience stands.
"No, what kind of bike is this Yamaha R7? Are you sure it's not an R6?"
"Besides the R6, there's also the R7, the new model, but the difference isn't significant."
...
Many Chinese spectators didn't know that Yamaha had an R7 besides the R6.
"Brother Yan, do you think she'll agree?"
Su Mojin asked. She didn't understand much, but she could tell the difference between the two bikes by their names: one was 660cc, the other 700cc.
"She will."
"Why?"
"Because there's no substantial difference between these two bikes. The R7 and the 660 have similar power, just a slight edge. However..."
"However what?"
Lin Yan didn't answer, as he wasn't entirely sure of the final outcome.
Of course, it didn't matter if he was sure. This was his territory, and he could still have the final say. Cheating was definitely not an option.
"Okay, I agree."
Jiang Qiyan didn't hesitate for too long and agreed directly.
"Alright, then we'll race first. I hope you win the championship."
"You don't need to worry about that. Just wait to kneel and apologize to my brother."
After saying that, Jiang Qiyan turned to prepare for the main race. There was only half an hour between qualifying and the main race, and their argument didn't affect the normal progress of the competition at all.
Watching Jiang Qiyan turn and leave, Li Xiao's gaze deepened. This girl was indeed easy to fool. Since he dared to agree, he was confident he could win.
Since Li Xiao was disqualified, he didn't have to participate in the main race, which would be contested by the remaining twenty-nine riders.
To be honest, this was the first time these young riders were competing under the gaze of so many spectators.
Maintaining their composure, the riders who had finished their rest got on their racing bikes.
Five minutes before the race began, the big screen started showing footage of Lin Yan and Rossi cornering on factory bikes. Lin Yan was riding a GP22, and Rossi was on a YZR-M1. Rossi in the video was younger than he was now, from his pre-retirement races.
Compared to the previous qualifying session, the cornering skills of these two were textbook perfect. They were not only faster, lower, and more stable, but their movements were also incredibly smooth, and their timing for cornering was more precise, as if they were flying close to the ground.
As soon as the video was shown, the spectators in the stands erupted in cheers again, with fans from both sides waving their flags back and forth.
The scene was even more impressive than when Lin Yan won the championship at the Shanghai station.
It took five minutes for the audience to gradually quiet down.
"The riders are in position, and the race is about to begin."
Hao Dong cleared his throat and got into character.
"Alright, the red flag is waved, and the green flag is removed."
"The red lights are on!"
Five red lights lit up one by one.
"Lights out, and away we go!!!"
As the red lights went out, Jiang Qiyan, who was in pole position, launched off the line.
Compared to the video just now, Jiang Qiyan's start was somewhat average, but for her age, it could be considered genius.
The racing bikes roared to life, and the deafening roar of engines from twenty-nine bikes filled the air.
