Chapter 1030 — Fulfilling the Wish!

Wei Zhao hurriedly backed out of the screen and pulled up a game to play instead.

Feng Xiaoxiao walked into the classroom together with Shen Yushu, chatting and laughing as they came. The old hostility between them seemed gone, though it was clear they were not truly close yet. Becoming intimate in a single day was hardly possible.

Feng Xiaoxiao sat down beside Wei Zhao and, seeing him playing with her phone, asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

"Playing a game." Wei Zhao pretended he had only just noticed her return, laid the phone on the desk, and said, "You're back!"

"Mm, I'm back." Feng Xiaoxiao picked up the phone from the desk, glanced at the game on the screen, and asked, "Are you still playing?"

"No more." Wei Zhao shook his head. "Nice phone. I'll buy one myself when I have time in a couple of days."

"Then get the same model as mine, and we'll have couple phones!" Feng Xiaoxiao shut off the game and slipped the phone into her pocket, never once suspecting that Wei Zhao had already seen the 'wishes' inside.

"Mm..." Wei Zhao answered casually.

His ready agreement left Feng Xiaoxiao stunned! She had never expected him to accept her suggestion so easily! In the past, he would probably have refused outright.

"Then after school, shall we go to the phone shop together?" Feng Xiaoxiao asked excitedly.

"We'll see." Wei Zhao shook his head. "The phone shops will be closed after school. Let's wait for the weekend."

"That works too!" Hearing the first half of his reply, Feng Xiaoxiao thought he was brushing her off again, but the second half told her otherwise, and her spirits lifted at once.

"Xiaoxiao, why do you always want to learn racing from me?" Wei Zhao steered the talk toward Feng Xiaoxiao's wish. He had always assumed she was only fooling around, never realizing she held becoming a racer as a dream.

"Because... I'm into cars! After watching Fast and Furious, I wanted to become a racer!" Feng Xiaoxiao hid nothing and said with a smile, "But I know it's impossible! My skills are only average. Who would ever let me race?"

"Hmm... I see!" Wei Zhao nodded. "I thought you just liked messing around! If you really want to be a racer, I can teach you."

"Really?" Feng Xiaoxiao's eyes went wide. Happiness had arrived so suddenly that she was scarcely ready for it! Good fortune had followed good fortune these past two days, leaving her overwhelmed! It felt like a dream, far too unreal to be true!

"Of course it's true. Have I ever lied to you about anything I promised?" Wei Zhao said with a smile.

"Mm..." Feng Xiaoxiao was too excited to speak, but once the excitement passed, she sighed and said, "Ah, forget it. Let's not learn after all! Driving isn't something you can master in a short time. It takes steady training... I... I just don't have that kind of patience!"

She spoke that way only as an excuse. What truly weighed on her was how much longer her life could last. With only a brief span of days remaining, even if she learned to drive, she would get nowhere. She might as well spend the time on something else.

Yet Wei Zhao heard something deeper in her excuse. When Feng Xiaoxiao said she lacked patience, what she truly meant was that her life had no time left!

Wei Zhao sighed inwardly, though his face showed nothing unusual as he said, "Songshan City should have one of those underground tracks, right? Have you ever been?"

"Of course I have! How could I not!" At the mention of racing, Feng Xiaoxiao brightened again, as if forgetting her earlier sorrow. "It's on the Bolong Mountain winding road. That's an underground track. There are races every Friday night, and on ordinary days racing fans practice there too!"

"Oh? Have you ever entered a race?" Wei Zhao asked with a smile.

"My skills aren't good enough. I just practice for fun. I'd never survive a real race!" Feng Xiaoxiao shook her head.

"At worst you'd lose. What else could happen?" Wei Zhao said, puzzled. "At least you would have raced. That alone is an experience!"

"It's not that simple! Losing comes with a price!" Feng Xiaoxiao shook her head again and again. "The loser has to pay the winner two hundred thousand! Where would I get that kind of money? You might as well sell me off!"

Wei Zhao clicked his tongue inwardly. Sure enough, profit was tangled up in it. No one raced for nothing! Two hundred thousand was little to him, but it was a great deal for Feng Xiaoxiao! If she had money, she would not be driving only an Audi TT. She would have bought an Audi R8 or some such sports car long ago.

"Then if you win, do you get the two hundred thousand?" Wei Zhao asked.

"Not quite. The winner only gets one hundred fifty thousand. The organizers take fifty thousand as their cut!" Feng Xiaoxiao said.

"Oh? The organizers make quite a profit!" Wei Zhao said lightly. Still, the matter had little to do with him, and he was too lazy to meddle. If even Qiu Lingshan left it alone, why should he spare time for some underground racing organizer?

"Exactly. With at least ten races a week, they can make five hundred thousand! That's enough for another car!" Feng Xiaoxiao said enviously.

"Still, one hundred fifty thousand for a win isn't bad. Let's go racing this Friday and earn money for the phone." Wei Zhao said with a smile. "What do you think?"

"Huh? You? You want to go racing with me?" Feng Xiaoxiao cried out in surprise, her eyes wide.

"Yes. Don't you want to go?" Wei Zhao asked.

"I do, I do!" Feng Xiaoxiao nodded eagerly, afraid he might change his mind. "We're really going racing? That's wonderful! Hahaha, I finally get to enter a race!"

"You want to drive?" Wei Zhao stared at her delight and was left speechless. If they entered, he would have to drive. With Feng Xiaoxiao behind the wheel, defeat was certain.

"Uh... yes, if I drive we'll lose for sure..." Feng Xiaoxiao said, deflated in an instant.

Looking at her, Wei Zhao quietly reached a decision! Though the decision carried some danger, such danger meant nothing to him and lay well within what he could control!

When school ended that evening, Feng Xiaoxiao drove herself home. Unable to ride in Wei Zhao's car, she felt a little disappointed! After all, she had her own car. If she left it unused and insisted on having him drive her, it would hardly look right.
