"Wait a minute..."

Xu Jiao's voice sounded, causing Ye Qiu to pause his steps.

Xu Jiao's subordinates, who had been knocked down by Ye Qiu, immediately realized that this kid had hit them, but the Second Miss was present.

They believed that once the Second Miss's identity was revealed, this kid would surely be scared out of his wits, as there weren't many people in the entire YN who weren't afraid of the Second Miss or wary of her identity.

So in that instant, they all shouted to Xu Jiao, "Second Miss, Sister Jiao, you have to stand up for us and make sure the boss teaches this kid a lesson and avenges us."

"Looks like you haven't had enough of a beating?"

Ye Qiu glared fiercely at those subordinates and also looked at Xu Jiao, curious about her identity and unsure why she had stopped him.

Xu Jiao, who had called out to Ye Qiu, was about to speak to him, but was interrupted by her subordinates who urged her to teach Ye Qiu a lesson. Her face turned grim as she scolded those subordinates, "All of you, shut up. This person is my friend; if he beat you, then so be it."

Looking at her stunned subordinates, Xu Jiao thought for a moment and added, "Let's end this here today. As for your beatings, go back and each get some money as compensation."

Those subordinates, still puzzled, thought that she didn't even know Ye Qiu just now, so how did he become a friend in the blink of an eye?

Seeing her subordinates' stunned expressions, Xu Jiao became angry and said, "Didn't you hear what I said? Get lost... now!"

Seeing the Second Miss angry, the subordinates shivered all over, quickly got up, and promptly ran away.

Watching the fleeing subordinates, Xu Jiao's eyes flickered, and at that moment, Ye Qiu, who had been in a daze, spoke up and asked, "What's going on? I don't think we know each other, so how did we become friends?"

However, Ye Qiu felt a sense of relief because he seemed to have guessed Xu Jiao's identity, and since he'd offended her, if Xu Jiao really used her identity against him, it'd be quite troublesome.

But for now, it seemed there was no trouble.

Upon hearing Ye Qiu's question, Xu Jiao seemed somewhat embarrassed and said to Ye Qiu, "I'm really sorry for the trouble I've caused you."

Ye Qiu waved it off, "No worries. But you still haven't answered my question."

Xu Jiao said, "Actually, you don't know this, but I've admired you for a long time."

"What?"

Ye Qiu was dumbfounded.

It turned out that Xu Jiao was a dedicated racing enthusiast. Possibly due to her family and personality, she had liked thrilling things since she was young and thus fell in love with racing.

At that time, racing wasn't very popular in Huaxia, but it was flourishing in the United States.

And it was precisely at that time that Ye Qiu appeared as a genius racer, and he had an East Asian appearance.

He immediately attracted countless men and women from Huaxia, accumulating numerous fans, and Xu Jiao was one of them back then.

As Ye Qiu's abilities grew, and his talent became increasingly apparent, his number of fans also swelled.

As a person from Huaxia, although he didn't race there, his fan base in Huaxia was no less than that of some top celebrities, and they were all loyal fans who wouldn't unfollow him.

There was once a poll for fans of sports stars in Huaxia, and Ye Qiu, even without racing in Huaxia, ranked third in the number of fans.

This was despite not racing in Huaxia. If he had raced there, he might have been number one, leaving the rest hundreds of times behind.

This wasn't a lie, because most people still supported Ye Qiu, but since he didn't race for Huaxia, many didn't want to support him.

If Ye Qiu were to race for Huaxia now, he would undoubtedly be the person with the most fans in Huaxia.

Being a die-hard fan of Ye Qiu, Xu Jiao knew everything about him. When Ye Qiu was expelled from the Highway Hero Team, she even had thoughts of committing suicide.

But later, she believed that the boy she admired wouldn't give up so easily and would definitely make a comeback.

So she sent people to find Ye Qiu and continued to follow his endeavors.

Just a few days ago, on a racing forum, she saw some news about Ye Qiu and couldn't believe her eyes when she read about him defeating Fujiwara Takumi's disciple.

Once she confirmed it, she was so excited that she couldn't sleep for days.

Subsequently, she picked up the racing hobby she'd nearly abandoned from lack of interest.

From then on, Xu Jiao became happy again and started racing anew, this time for Ye Qiu, always hoping that one day she'd improve her racing skills to find Ye Qiu,

Today, she never imagined Ye Qiu would appear right before her.

Initially, she didn't dare to recognize him because Ye Qiu used to always wear a mask, but later, a side-profile photo of him surfaced on the racing forum.

Only after confirming did Xu Jiao realize that this man was indeed Ye Qiu.

...

"You want to race against me?"

Ye Qiu listened to Xu Jiao's confession, realizing she was another one of his little fangirls, and was surprised when she said she wanted to race against him: "Though I don't claim to have the best racing skills, you're sure to lose!"

Xu Jiao nodded, knowing Ye Qiu wasn't lying, but she didn't care.

"Winning or losing doesn't matter. I just want to race a lap with you. You know, I practiced racing in anticipation of the day I could appear on the track with you."

Ye Qiu was silent for a moment after hearing this, then shook his head, "Not now. I have someone to take care of. Maybe some other time."

Xu Jiao nodded, "Alright, then."

"I'm leaving now. I have to go get some food for Lei." Ye Qiu said.

Xu Jiao was taken aback and asked, "Is she your girlfriend?"

Ye Qiu replied, "Something like that."

"Something like that?" Xu Jiao was puzzled, but seeing Ye Qiu didn't want to elaborate, she didn't ask further and said, "Can I go in and see what your girlfriend looks like?"

For some reason, Xu Jiao wanted to see what the woman who captured the heart of the boy she had liked for so many years looked like.

Ye Qiu hesitated for a moment but ultimately nodded, opened the door to let Xu Jiao in, and said, "I'll be right back."

After speaking, Ye Qiu glanced at Xu Lei and said, "Lei, keep her company for a while."

Saying this, he turned and left.

Xu Jiao watched Ye Qiu's back before turning to look at Xu Lei, and upon seeing Xu Lei's face, she was immediately surprised.

"Wow, she's really a beautiful woman."

Xu Jiao was astonished and then came over to Xu Lei, "Hello, I'm Xu Jiao."

Xu Lei also extended her hand and grasped the other person's: "Hello, I'm Xu Lei."

"You're also an 'Xu'?" Xu Jiao asked in surprise, "What a coincidence!"

Xu Lei nodded, "It is quite the coincidence." Then she stared at Xu Jiao's face, a flash of pain crossing her eyes.

Xu Jiao also looked closely at Xu Lei's face, furrowing her brows slightly from up close.

The two of them stared at each other in silence for about five minutes, then suddenly both spoke at once, "Don't you think we look a lot alike?"
