With the signal from the host, the car race began. Several cars zoomed out at high speed, leaving only blurred trails in their wake.

Everyone’s attention was initially spread across the track, but within minutes, all eyes focused on the silver-grey car.

Because it was exceptionally fast, leaving all other competitors far behind. Even with various checkpoints and obstacles, it effortlessly navigated through.

“Meng Zhi is not only handsome, but his driving skills are also top-notch! I think I’m falling for him!”

“Tsk, you girls only care about looks. Meng Zhi started off so fast, without conserving any energy. What if he’s overtaken later on?”

“Yeah, others haven’t even given their full effort yet. Meng Zhi’s just showing off to impress young ladies like you. I can’t wait to see him fall behind and be proven wrong!”

The crowd began to argue, their voices rising in a noise of opinions.

Gu Dai’s gaze remained steadfastly on the race. She believed in her third brother, confident he would emerge victorious.

The silver-grey car sped on, raising dust trails in its wake. Contrary to some predictions, Meng Zhi’s speed didn’t wane. Instead, he sped up, crossing the finish line decisively.

“He won! Did you see that? Meng Zhi won!”

“What? Meng Zhi actually won? That’s incredible!”

“Even though I’ve been proven wrong, this sight is exhilarating. He’s truly the top racer!”

As Gu Dai listened to the admiration from the crowd, his earlier tension dissolved. With a joyful smile, she cheered, “Third brother, you’re amazing!”

After all the racers arrived at the finish line, Meng Zhi stepped out of his car. He exchanged friendly greetings with the other racers before heading to the trunk. From it, he retrieved a bunch of red flowers.

The action caused a stir amongst the spectators, as everyone tried to guess the reason behind his gesture.

Unaffected by the crowd’s speculation, Meng Zhi walked directly toward Gu Dai. Offering the flowers, he softly said, “Daidai, these are for you.”

Accepting the bouquet with a smile and taking a moment to appreciate its fragrance, Gu Dai playfully remarked, “Third Brother, are you using the same tactics you’d use to woo a girl on me?”

Meng Zhi chuckled, “Who defined these gestures? Who says I can’t give flowers to my little sister? By the way, do you like these? If not, I’ll pick a different type for you next time.”

Gu Dai quickly nodded in affirmation, “I love them!”

Observing this scene, the surrounding spectators finally realized that Meng Zhi’s earlier gaze had been directed towards Gu Dai.

“I’m not envious. Seriously, I’m not at all. I’ve lived for over twenty years, and no one has ever given me flowers!”

“Hold on, twenty-somethings! Let us thirty-somethings lament first. But what’s the relationship between Meng Zhi and Miss Gu? Why would he give her flowers?”

“Who cares about their relationship! All I can say is that Miss Gu is stunning. Especially with those flowers, she looks even more radiant!”

“I always thought I was only into men, but after seeing Miss Gu, I’m starting to question my orientation.”

After witnessing Gu Dai accepting the flowers, Song Ling couldn’t help but scoff, “How pathetic. Acting as if she’s never seen flowers in her life.”

Song Ling’s harsh remarks about Gu Dai made Zhou Ci jump to her defense, “At the very least, during the three years she was with you, she probably didn’t receive any. Are you possibly belittling her because you’re jealous she accepted flowers from someone else?”

Song Ling grabbed Zhou Ci by the collar, threateningly, “What did you just say?”

Zhou Ci pulled his collar free, calmly retorting, “I’d say it a hundred times more if I must – you’re jealous.”

With a cold chuckle, Song Ling responded, “Ridiculous. Why would I be jealous?”

Besides, he had already investigated. Meng Zhi was merely Gu Dai’s brother. It was just a brother giving flowers to his sister. What was there to be jealous about?

He was not jealous.

That’s what Song Ling kept telling himself, yet his gaze remained fixed intently on Meng Zhi.

After regaining her composure from the floral exchange, Gu Dai pulled Su Ting closer and introduced him to Meng Zhi, “Third Brother, this is Su Ting, the talented model 1 discovered.. He’s also a dear friend of mine!”
