When the two cars reached the top of the mountain, there should have been thunderous applause, no matter if soone won or lost.
But this ti it was different. Seeing the left car co up first, the scene was dead silent, and everyone’s expressions were sowhat awkward.
Especially Gao Song and those who previously bragged about Gao Song.
It was as if an invisible hand had harshly slapped them in the face...
The scene was silent, and the rider, removing his helt to reveal a head full of sweat, looked clueless.
He wondered what was going on?
Where was the applause? The cheers?
The rider was quite bewildered, his confused eyes scanning around, not understanding what had happened.
Clap, clap, clap...
At this mont, Chen Yang’s applause broke the silence on the scene.
Chen Yang applauded, and Tan Jing, coming out of her daze, also smiled and joined in the applause.
With these two leading, the others present followed suit and began clapping.
But the applause was not enthusiastic; it seed more perfunctory.
"Haha, Mr. Gao, it seems my hunch was quite accurate, and my persistence was justified." After applauding, Chen Yang turned with a smile and looked at Gao Song.
At this mont, Gao Song’s face didn’t look good at all.
It was a stark contrast to his forr confidence and pride.
Gao Song’s expression remained unpleasant for a while before he barely controlled it, saying, "Hehe... yes, I didn’t expect Mr. Chen’s intuition to be so spot-on, I misjudged."
Gao Song was quite embarrassed and had no choice but to complint Chen Yang.
After the flattery, he said no more, refusing to ntion the gamble.
Chen Yang knew he was purposely avoiding the topic, after all, no one wants to lose face, right?
Chen Yang understood this and didn’t expose him.
After all, he wasn’t familiar with Gao Song, and Gao Song’s jealousy hadn’t led to any outrageous actions.
So Chen Yang didn’t intend to complicate matters further by forcing any fulfillnt of the bet.
Everyone understood the situation, and that was enough.
Chen Yang smiled and exchanged a few polite words with Gao Song, not ntioning the bet, and then directly said to Tan Jing, "Tan Jing, it’s getting late, I have things to do at ho, so perhaps we should leave?"
Having had their fun, Chen Yang didn’t want to linger any longer.
Seeing that Chen Yang had won the bet, Tan Jing was quite delighted.
She also admired Chen Yang’s approach of letting things go and letting them be.
After all, such magnanimity and emotional intelligence aren’t qualities everyone possesses.
"Alright, let’s go then."
Tan Jing nodded with a smile and agreed, and then she said her goodbyes to Gao Song and other acquaintances before riding her bike with Chen Yang down the hill ahead of them.
Perhaps because she was familiar with the way by now, or because she was filled with joy, on the way down, Tan Jing didn’t blush from being so close to Chen Yang.
She was smiling the whole way, her expression natural.
"Chen Yang, how were you so sure the competitor on the left would win?"
Halfway down, Tan Jing suddenly asked Chen Yang this question.
"Didn’t I say? It was all by intuition." Chen Yang replied with a smile.
Hearing this answer, Tan Jing rolled her eyes so high they almost disappeared.
She didn’t believe that explanation one bit.
"Co on, you must have so way of being sure; otherwise, you wouldn’t have insisted on the left winning when the right had such a big advantage!" Tan Jing said confidently.
Seeing he couldn’t bluff his way out of it, Chen Yang finally smiled and revealed the truth.
"Actually, I judged by the guy’s back bones."
Hearing this, Tan Jing was briefly stunned, her expression imdiately turning to astonishnt.
"Bones? What does racing have to do with bones?"
"There’s indeed a connection, and it’s quite significant," Chen Yang smiled slightly, and then he explained to Tan Jing.
"I observed that the spine of the competitor on the left was especially prominent, which wouldn’t be the case with a normal young person."
"And for it to be like that, there was only one possibility; he often rides bikes, or frequently races or practices."
"Even though the right car was good and had ho advantage, when it cos to skill, the better-skilled person naturally wins!"
...
Chen Yang explained a great deal in one breath.
In summary, using his dical eye, he assessed the competitor’s bones.
Then, based on the bone structure, he determined the competitor’s driving skill, which is why he was so sure the left would win!
After listening to Chen Yang’s analysis, Tan Jing was dumbfounded...
He could even use dical skills for this?
At this mont, she felt nothing but admiration, in bold and capitals!
Tan Jing was shocked for quite a while before she managed to react.
"Chen Yang, I’m truly impressed by you!"
"Not only by your professional skills but also by your intelligence and cleverness!"
Tan Jing couldn’t help but say.
Seeing Tan Jing’s expression and hearing her words, Chen Yang couldn’t help but laugh.
"You’re right to be impressed, but don’t be too impressed, for there will be many more things in the future to amaze you." Chen Yang smiled lightly and said.
Upon hearing this, Tan Jing let out a sound of mock exasperation, but said nothing more.
They quietly returned to the county town and then back to the restaurant where they had eaten.
"Alright, I’ll drop you off here."
Tan Jing stopped the car and said.
"Okay."
As soon as the car stopped, Chen Yang jumped off.
After the two exchanged a few more words, Tan Jing left first.
Chen Yang also turned and got into his minivan.
It was already late, past ten.
Looking at the sparsely populated street, Chen Yang found himself in a dilemma.
"It’s so late, should I go ho or stay the night in the county?"
Originally, Chen Yang had planned to finish dinner early and head to Lin Tianxia.
But now it was already ten, and Li Han had probably gone ho.
After pondering for a while, he finally decided to head back ho!
"There’s work to be done at ho! Tomorrow morning I need to fertilize the orchard!"
Chen Yang muttered to himself, then started the car and left the county town.
By the ti he returned to Liuhe Village, it was already past eleven.
At this hour, the village was extrely quiet, not even the dogs were barking.
Chen Yang stopped the car at the doorway, got out the key and went inside, quickly running to the backyard to check on things.
Before leaving, he had helped Wangcai by giving Hei Yun a little elixir to spice things up.
Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t scold Wangcai.
Sure enough, as soon as Chen Yang reached the backyard, he imdiately heard so commotion from the doghouse.
Understanding the situation, Chen Yang kept his distance and didn’t look closer.
Since there was movent, it ant everything was alright.
"This guy still needs my help, otherwise it’ll be a big disgrace when Hei Pi cos around tomorrow."
Chen Yang shook his head with a smile and turned to go inside to wash up and get so sleep.
