"Ah..."
Bai He stared blankly as Xi Zuzi and Yin Hu departed.
Looking up at the sky, where the sun was shining bright, it was unexpectedly pouring rain.
She was dazed for a while before she finally understood the aning behind Xi Zuzi’s words.
"The Little Ancestor ant that if it rains heavily, the competition will be temporarily halted and will only resu once the weather clears a bit... Damn, even the heavens are on our side, knowing Ancestor has matters to attend to, thus sending this downpour to help postpone the final race for ."
Regular drizzle wouldn’t stop the competition, but it takes a downpour that turns everything into a white mist, making it impossible to see anything, to effectively interrupt the race.
So, this isn’t just any random stroke of luck!
Bai He’s mood settled quite a bit. Humming a tune, she headed toward the locker room to change out of her bulky racing suit, planning to visit the presidential suite to chat and snack with Xi Rubao and Wu Qianman while leisurely waiting for the Little Ancestor to return.
She had just reached the door.
A figure hurriedly passed by from the direction of the n’s restroom.
She instinctively glanced over.
"Gu Shiyin?"
Huh, hadn’t she sold her VIP ticket? Gu Shiyin should have been kicked out of the venue like Yin Hu.
Yin Hu had entered due to special circumstances to seek help from the Little Ancestor, but what excuse did Gu Shiyin have to sneak in, and into the racers’ restroom area at that? And... the n’s restroom?
"Tastes really do vary."
Bai He smirked.
Since Gu Shiyin hadn’t seen her, she couldn’t be bothered to greet her and went straight to the locker room to change her clothes.
＝＝
On the other side, Gu Shiyin briskly passed by Bai He.
Clutching her phone, she made her way out of the racing venue.
Outside, the rain poured down in torrents; she took a couple of steps and retracted her feet—no umbrella.
Feeling a bit anxious, she glanced at her phone screen, at Yin Hu’s latest ssage—"Miss Gu, I had an urgent matter to attend to temporarily, thank you for hosting to watch the race, it was very exciting, but I must regretfully say goodbye for now!"
Yin Hu left so hastily, what could be the matter?
She knew today was Yin Hu’s day off, and he’s straightforward, no way he’d have arranged to watch the race with her while being distracted by sothing else.
Unless...
It was about Bao Gucheng.
Not having seen Bao Gucheng for days now, just the thought of his na made her toes curl into the ground.
How could she make him co to see her actively?
She inexplicably felt uneasy, that if she didn’t figure out what happened to Bao Gucheng today, she’d beco more and more excluded from his world until she was completely shut out.
She couldn’t allow that to happen.
Gu Shiyin looked at her ssage asking Yin Hu, "What’s up? Can I help?" and seeing she still received no reply, she glanced at the torrential rain and gritted her teeth, dialing Yin Hu’s number while stepping out to find him for clarity.
Suddenly.
An umbrella stopped over her head.
"Miss Gu, where do you intend to go?"
The voice was neither properly pronounced nor refined, a mix of Empire language.
Gu Shiyin stiffened.
She paused, not turning back: "You shouldn’t address like that in the venue!"
The other person gave a low, cold chuckle: "I’m just seeing Miss Gu rushing out like this, suspecting you might be going to see a lover, but getting drenched in this heavy rain could harm you, affecting the third final match if..."
Gu Shiyin swiftly surveyed her surroundings.
Due to the heavy rain, the audience had all taken shelter, leaving almost no one at the entrance.
She raised her chin, interrupting the person, "Give the umbrella! With such heavy rain, the race won’t resu quickly. I’ve things to do and will be back soon!"
