When He Lefeng heard He Xiong, he slapped his forehead. He had been so engrossed in his conversation with Sister Yan that he had forgotten to check his car.
âSister Yan, this silver car is mine,â He Lefeng said with a wide grin.
âWhy does this car resemble my car so much as well?â thought Lin Yan to herself.
âXiaofeng, donât you have a professional that can check on the condition of your car?â asked Lin Yan. She hadnât met any racers who inspected their own cars before a race. Even if they did, it would just be a simple routine check after the professionalâs thorough inspection.
âWe used to have one, but we ran into some funding problems. Therefore, Grandfather decided to save money. Usually, there isnât a problem. Even though we might not be professionals, we are still able to detect if there are any problems,â quipped He Lefeng.
Lin Yan nodded and agreed. The He family hadnât been in such a good state indeed.
âSister Yan, this car is familiar, isnât it? Actually, Grandfather is a huge, ardent fan of God Lang Mang and Death Knight. He especially admires and worships the Race Trackâs Grim Reaper. Thatâs why our cars and uniforms are all similar to the Race Trackâs Grim Reaperâs colors,â He Lefeng explained happily.
âReally....â Lin Yan stroked her chin and wondered to herself, âDo I have such a huge influence?â
Even her grandfather was her loyal fan?
It had never occurred to Lin Yan that kids like Lang Mang and Death Knight would have such a huge influence as well. Especially Lang Mang, who would even have a movie made based on him.
âSister Yan, look at my car. What do you think?â He Lefeng mopped his face and grinned sheepishly at Lin Yan.
Instinctively, Lin Yan spun her head towards He Lefengâs car.
âDo you want the truth?â asked Lin Yan curtly.
âErrr...â He Lefeng was stumped momentarily, as he hadnât imagined that Lin Yan would ask him that. âHow about a lie first?â
âA lie?â Lin Yan chuckled softly and walked around the car. âYour car is the best in the team. Especially this engine. Itâs almost perfect.â
He Lefeng was speechless...
âHow about the truth now?â quipped He Lefeng.
âItâs a lousy car,â remarked Lin Yan dully.
âSister Yan, itâs still acceptable, isnât it?â He Lefeng sounded rather indignant.
âHe Mingkaiâs car is the best in the team. The other two are slightly inferior compared to his, but yours is the worst,â concluded Lin Yan.
âBrother Mingkai is the best and most talented among us, so that is understandable.â He Lefeng smiled at her.
âOh yeah, Sister Yan. Would you consider joining us? I can see that youâre quite interested in racing... If you really want to, you could be my apprentice. I could teach you the basic techniques,â expounded He Lefeng.
Lin Yan sighed heavily and replied, âI could consider it.â
âItâs a pity that Brother Mingkai is so biased against you. Otherwise, ideally he should be the one to coach you!â said He Lefeng.
Lin Yan was speechless as she thought to herself, âNo, thank you!â
âSister Yan, hereâs your equipment.â He Lefeng opened the car door and passed her the uniform.
Lin Yan accepted the silver-colored uniform and thanked him.
Before Lin Yan could put it on, their grandfather called both of them over once more.
