Qiao Chuchu changed into her racing suit, holding her helmet, and stood by her car.

Lin Qing, full of worry, helped her adjust her clothes: "Please be careful, okay? Don’t be fooled by how silly Ji Yan Chuan looked earlier, he’s still really skilled in this area."

"I know," Qiao Chuchu nodded seriously. "I’ll be cautious."

[After all, Ji Yan Chuan is the idiot who got my fourth brother hospitalized. If I’m racing against him, I know he’s not going to be any good.]

[But if I didn’t race Ji Yan Chuan, if it were my brother, I’d rather be the one racing. It’ll be easier for me to deal with things if it’s me.]

Lin Qing gave a small "wow," then kissed Qiao Chuchu on the forehead: "Good luck."

She walked over to Pei Fengnong, patting him on the shoulder with admiration: "I really envy you for having such a great little sister, willing to charge ahead for the family."

Pei Fengnong stood silently, watching Qiao Chuchu wear her helmet. His face darkened slightly.

The other brothers were also uneasy: "I don’t know if she’s going to make it."

Pei Bu Xian whispered, "She looked so confident earlier, so she should be fine, right?"

Even though they said this, they couldn’t help but fidget nervously.

The referee called out: "If everyone is ready, please get in your cars."

"Wait." Pei Fengnong walked over to Qiao Chuchu, his voice cold: "Are you sure you can handle this?"

Qiao Chuchu adjusted her helmet, without hesitation: "Of course!"

Pei Fengnong frowned, clearly not convinced: "I..."

He became distracted, a deep sense of frustration rising within him.

"Really?"

Qiao Chuchu: "…"

[After all this time, that’s all he’s got?]

She chuckled helplessly and nodded: "I’m sure I can."

Pei Fengnong hesitated for a moment, made up his mind, and reached for her helmet: "Let me do it."

No matter what, he wasn’t going to let his sister risk her life.

If someone had to die, he would rather it be him.

Qiao Chuchu swiftly dodged, her voice teasing as she stretched it out: "Brother..."

Pei Fengnong froze.

Qiao Chuchu grabbed his hand and held it down: "Trust me."

He stood stunned.

Because under that helmet, Qiao Chuchu’s eyes were filled with determination he had never seen before.

"Trust me, I’ll win the championship and make Ji Yan Chuan run around naked on the track! Don’t worry about me, okay?"

Pei Fengnong: "…"

In the distance, Lin Qing watched the scene, her hands pressed together in admiration: "She knows exactly what’s going to happen, yet she takes it all on herself. Even though she could die, possibly using one of her lives, she’s still resolute. This is so romantic."

Pei Youchuan: "Huh? You think it’s romantic that Qiao Chuchu might end up in the hospital after a crash?"

Lin Qing shot him a look: "Of course. You heard her thoughts just now, right? If someone’s going to die, she’d rather it be her. Even though she has seven lives left, the courage to face death without hesitation is something not everyone can have."

Lin Qing pointed at Qiao Chuchu: "There’s a deep abyss ahead. No one knows about it except her. If it’s not her jumping in, it’s her brother. So she chose to jump in."

The Pei brothers finally realized what was happening.

Lin Qing looked at them with a big eye roll: "Should have made Qiao Chuchu our youngest sister long ago."

Lin Shen: "…"

On the other side, Pei Fengnong placed the old necklace he had in his pocket into Qiao Chuchu’s hand: "Take this with you."

Qiao Chuchu was surprised: "Isn’t this the one I gave you—"

"Don’t say anything." Pei Fengnong kept his face stern, speaking firmly: "Bring it back safely. Don’t break it."

Qiao Chuchu eyed him suspiciously: "But this seems to be broken already. You’re not trying to scam me, right?"

Pei Fengnong: "?"

Qiao Chuchu chuckled: "Just kidding!~"

Pei Fengnong, speechless, tugged at the corner of his mouth. He watched as Qiao Chuchu got in the car and carefully secured her seatbelt.

Ji Yan Chuan was already waiting, driving up beside Qiao Chuchu, shooting her a cold glare.

Qiao Chuchu gave him the middle finger.

Ji Yan Chuan: "…It’s not too late to back out and let your brother race instead. I’ve thought it over, I can’t just bully a little sister."

Qiao Chuchu mocked: "Little sister? You can only call me that if you’re of my generation. Who do you think you are?"

Ji Yan Chuan: "?!"

Qiao Chuchu laughed: "What? You want to talk about manners with me, Grandpa Qiao?"

She said, her tone both infuriating and gentle: "Sorry, Grandpa Qiao has no manners for you."

Ji Yan Chuan: "?!"

Qiao Chuchu raised the car window, waving at him provocatively.

The referee walked to the center between the two cars, raising the flag: "Get ready!"

"Ready!"

"Go!!"

Qiao Chuchu shot forward like an arrow released from a bow!

Ji Yan Chuan was quick to follow, but was half a car length behind her.

Pei Mu and Pei Ci both exclaimed in unison: "Damn! I thought Qiao Chuchu was just talking big, but she’s really doing this!"

Pei Youchuan, stunned, couldn’t close his mouth: "I always thought Qiao Chuchu was a weakling, but I didn’t expect her to look so cool now?!"

Pei Bu Xian nodded, holding his dog.

Pei Che and Pei Yuan both stood silent, nervously watching Qiao Chuchu’s car, not daring to look away.

Lin Qing cheered, but then suddenly thought of something, giving Lin Shen a disappointed look: "How could you be so useless? You almost had your girlfriend, but you let her slip away. She liked her brother from the start, and you, as a big man, should have had the confidence to steal her heart, but now you regret it."

Lin Shen’s face turned pale: "I regret it so much, I’m trying to win her back."

Lin Qing pouted: "It’s too late. Now you’re just her childhood crush. She doesn’t like you anymore, so you’re stuck eating dust."

Lin Shen: "????"

Pei Fengnong narrowed his eyes, watching Qiao Chuchu’s fierce driving style.

It was like a cheetah using every ounce of its strength to push forward, yet still managing to handle everything with ease, as if everything was under control.

There was even a hint of showing off.

Qiao Chuchu remained calm, always keeping Ji Yan Chuan half a car length behind her.

Ji Yan Chuan: "…Damn! How is she so fast?!"

A sharp turn revealed everything.

Qiao Chuchu left him behind by an entire car length!

Ji Yan Chuan: "!"

Qiao Chuchu glanced at the rearview mirror, feeling Ji Yan Chuan struggling with everything he had.

She couldn’t help but laugh: "Hahaha, didn’t expect that beneath this cute exterior, I’m a wild player, huh?"

When she chose her racing style in the system, it gave her options for cautious champions, ordinary champions, and crazy champions.

She had chosen the crazy champion.

After all, when playing an intense competitive game, you need the reckless, "I don’t care" style!

Qiao Chuchu kept her eyes locked on the finish line!

It was almost over!

She glanced at the rearview mirror again, only to notice Ji Yan Chuan had somehow veered off the track.

?

Qiao Chuchu’s alarm bells rang, and she looked to the left!

Ji Yan Chuan’s car was charging straight at her!!

She quickly swerved, but it was too late. A powerful impact sent her flying, but the seatbelt yanked her back!

She felt her car flipping over and over!

Finally, it came to a stop as she hung upside down.

Qiao Chuchu was dizzy, like there were a thousand drills drilling into her brain!

She couldn’t move, only hearing herself whimper, her blurry eyes drifting toward the window.

Pei Fengnong and the others were rushing toward her in a panic.

Qiao Chuchu squinted, suddenly noticing the car leaking gasoline.

But there was already fire burning at the front of the car!

Her eyes widened in horror!

"Boom!!!!"
