Chapter 114: Race Registration
Chapter 114
Her accusing gaze was too obvious, so Director Xu hurriedly explained, "It\'s not a permanent guest role. They just want to know if you\'d be willing to be a one-time guest, teaching the kids some boxing."
If it weren\'t for the fact that the other director was his friend, he wouldn\'t have even asked Jing Yi. Besides, how could he bear to give away the popularity of this show? Even if it were his own father asking, he wouldn\'t agree!
Jing Yi pondered for a moment, "Training kids, huh? I suppose it\'s not impossible." After all, it\'s still recording, just in a different location.
Seeing Jing Yi agree, Director Xu hurried to respond to the other director and finalize the schedule.
......
That night, Jing Yi was lounging in Jing Zejun\'s room, making a phone call.
On the other end was Shen Xi, asking about Jiang Miaomiao\'s situation. "Sis, isn\'t your information a bit late? It\'s been over a week already."
Shen Xi sounded irritated, "It\'s not that I didn\'t know about Jiang Miaomiao\'s situation, I didn\'t know you were involved!"
Jing Yi realized she hadn\'t told Shen Xi about it. She suddenly felt a bit guilty, "Oh, so that\'s what you meant..." Shen Xi shouted from the other end, "What else could I be talking about?! Such a big thing and you didn\'t tell me!"
Jing Yi quickly explained, "No, it\'s not like that! I was arguing with my second brother at that time, and then it was my mom\'s birthday, so I forgot about this matter."
Shen Xi also considered that Jing Yi was currently participating in a reality show with 24-hour live streaming, so many things couldn\'t be discussed openly.
"Alright, I\'ll let you off the hook this time, but you better give me all the details when you get back!"
"Okay!"
But that wasn\'t the main reason for Shen Xi\'s call. "Have you signed up for that championship race?" As Jing Yi\'s long-time friend, Shen Xi naturally knew about Jing Yi\'s love and conflict with car racing.
It wasn\'t Jing Yi\'s only hobby, but among the things she loved, only car racing counted.
Jing Yi smiled, her eyes curving, "I\'ve already signed up!" Shen Xi was surprised, not expecting such a quick answer from Jing Yi, who was usually so hesitant.
Moreover, she hadn\'t seen Jing Yi participate in any races before, but this time she signed up so quickly.
What surprised Shen Xi even more was that Jing Zeqian had suggested signing Jing Yi up for this race.
Jing Yi\'s initial reaction was the same as Shen Xi\'s. She even suspected Jing Zeqian might have a fever, reaching out to feel his forehead - it was normal!
Then she wondered if Jing Zeqian was drunk, sniffing carefully, but couldn\'t smell any alcohol.
Jing Zeqian rolled his eyes at her, "Can\'t you think better of me?" Jing Yi widened her eyes in confusion.
How else should she think? Jing Zeqian was always the one in the family most afraid of her racing cars.
Jing Zeqian had indeed been very worried about Jing Yi getting hurt before. It wasn\'t that he knew nothing about car racing, but he truly understood the dangers of being a race car driver and the risks of such extreme sports.
Every year, Shanchi Racing Track holds various car racing competitions, and the number of accidents is not small. Jing Zeqian was well aware of this.
How could he not worry?
But after hearing Jing Yi\'s words last time, he had given it some serious thought. He realized that his excessive concern was not care for Jing Yi, but a burden.
Jing Zeqian felt a bit heartbroken. He had seen Jing Yi driving race cars before - free and bold, very different from her usual obedient demeanor.
But he was certain that was the most authentic Jing Yi.
This realization led Jing Zeqian to decide to respect Jing Yi\'s hobby, which is why he suggested signing her up for the race.
Shen Xi sighed, thinking how wonderful it was that Jing Yi\'s family truly cared for her.
"Then I\'ll be able to see your brilliance on the race track!"
Jing Yi\'s lips curved up involuntarily, dimples appearing on her cheeks.
Jing Zejun, leaning against the headboard reading a script, saw Jing Yi end the call and asked, "Was that Shen Xi?"
Jing Yi nodded, lying on the sofa, "She was asking about the banquet I attended with Second Brother last time." Jing Zejun smiled, knowing that even in high society circles, secrets couldn\'t be kept for long.
She looked at Jing Yi, who was still lounging on the sofa, and asked curiously, "Aren\'t you going to get ready for bed?" Jing Yi looked troubled, "That wall of pink is just too eye-catching."
It wasn\'t that she really disliked pink, but when almost everything in the room was the same color, along with the lace canopy, Jing Yi found it hard to concentrate.
Jing Zejun looked at her amusedly, "I told you to bring your luggage over directly." The room was spacious enough for two people anyway.
Jing Yi thought about it and agreed. There was no need to make things difficult for herself, so she immediately got up to fetch her suitcase from next door.
Jing Zejun smiled and walked in front of the camera, waving, "Good night, everyone." Then she covered it with a black cloth.
[So sweet!]
[Oh no! Going to sleep so soon? Can\'t we chat a bit longer?]
[I\'ve been guessing all day when Jing Yi would finally give up and leave that room!]
[To be honest, I couldn\'t stand looking at that room either...]
Early in the morning, Director Xu mysteriously pulled Jing Yi aside, saying something. The two seemed to be finalizing some arrangements.
They walked back into view of the livestream.
Jing Zeyou looked up, "What\'s going on?" Jing Yi told him about Director Xu\'s request yesterday for her to help out with the neighboring show.
It was too late last night, so she didn\'t want to disturb them.
[What kind of show is it?]
[Seems like it\'s a show teaching martial arts to children, a small obscure show.]
[Does that mean we won\'t see Yi Yi all day today?!]
[No way! We don\'t have much time left as it is, and now we lose another day!]
Jing Zeqian came over, "Are you going now?" Jing Yi shook her head, "I\'ll go after breakfast."
Jing Zeqian: ......
Seeing his disapproving look, Jing Yi felt a bit indignant, "What? I\'m basically working two jobs, I should at least fill my stomach, right?"
Just then, Chen Yu and his wife came out of the kitchen carrying breakfast. Sister Lin smiled, "That\'s right, we should at least let our Yi Yi eat her fill."
She placed the breakfast in front of Jing Yi, "Here, Yi Yi, try the breakfast I made. Especially these siu mai, your Brother Chen says they\'re unbeatable."
Jing Yi\'s eyes lit up, her gaze fixed on the French toast and pork and bamboo shoot siu mai in front of her.
"Thank you, Sister Lin!"
A glint of amusement passed through Jing Zeyou\'s eyes as he followed Jing Zejun to the kitchen to bring out breakfast for everyone else.
