Chapter 2081: Really, Why Bring Up What Shouldn't Be Mentioned

~7 min read 1,367 words

Jiang Mobai said in a flat tone, "You all went to a lot of trouble."

"Preparing this gift was indeed a lot of trouble, come take a look first!"

As he spoke, Wang Zi gestured for Jiang Mobai to go somewhere with him.

Jiang Mobai, however, was too lazy to move.

Wang Zi urged, "You aren't going? Then I'll carry you on my back!"

"That would be a fine sight."

"So you choose: walk yourself, or I carry you!"

Jiang Mobai didn't want to choose either.

He still wanted to let Wang Zi go busy himself with his own affairs.

But Wang Zi anxiously bent down.

Judging by this posture, he was going to carry Jiang Mobai off without any room for argument.

There were still so many people at the event site; Jiang Mobai couldn't afford to lose face like that.

He hurriedly begged for mercy, "Fine, fine, fine, I'll walk!"

"Wouldn't it have been better if you'd made this decision sooner? Come, walk this way!"

Wang Zi led the way in front.

He didn't walk fast, just enough for Jiang Mobai to keep up.

But Jiang Mobai was behind him, a look of resentment on his face.

Sigh, he just wanted to be quiet for a while, why was it so difficult?

It was just a gift; wouldn't it have been better to just take it when he left...

Just as Jiang Mobai was grumbling to himself, Wang Zi said, "We're here!"

Jiang Mobai stopped and looked around.

There was nothing there.

He was just about to open his mouth to ask when he saw a few brothers from the racing team walk out, grinning.

The one walking in the very front was holding a safety helmet in his hands.

This helmet had undergone special treatment, and its surface was gaudy and flashy.

Jiang Mobai glanced at it and felt the chaotic colors were dazzling to the eyes.

But after looking closely, he discovered that these gaudy things were actually Jiang Mobai's racing records.

As a race car driver, every time one participates in a race, there is a record of it.

And the records on the helmet all belonged to Jiang Mobai.

Every time Jiang Mobai looked at one, it triggered a passionate memory.

By the time he finished looking at them all, he felt a warmth in his chest!

The teammate holding the helmet was a bit shy, and he introduced it, "This is the brothers' heartfelt wish; we hope you will rise from the ashes!"

Another person chimed in, "Right, past glory stays in yesterday; now, it's a new beginning!"

He felt this was a very stirring statement.

Yet someone knocked on his head, "Glory is glory, why divide it into past and present!"

"Exactly, if you can't be poetic, just be quiet!"

The person who had been knocked on the head felt a bit aggrieved and muttered, "I spent all night thinking of that sentence."

"Then think of a new one!"

Jiang Mobai said, "Why change it? I quite like this sentence, and I also really like this gift."

"Brother Mobai, do you really like it?"

"Of course!"

Jiang Mobai truly liked it.

He took the helmet with one hand and looked at it carefully.

At this moment, someone reached out a finger and pressed a spot on the helmet.

Instantly, the helmet was shining brightly!

Jiang Mobai was stunned.

He looked inside and discovered that small golden lights had actually been installed.

"This is a unique design we thought of; turn on the switch at night, and this helmet is golden and brilliant—super cool!"

"With it to accompany you to sleep, you'll definitely have sweet dreams!"

The few of them were very satisfied with this little creative idea.

They praised it in a jumble of voices.

And incidentally, waited for Jiang Mobai to offer a few words of praise.

But after Jiang Mobai was silent for a few seconds, he murmured, "If I really could have sweet dreams, that wouldn't be bad; even if I can't return to the peak in the future, at least I'd have sweet dreams to rely on."

Wang Zi heard his murmuring and understood what Jiang Mobai's inner knot was.

He really wanted to persuade Jiang Mobai and put his mind at ease.

But his mind went completely blank, and he couldn't think of a single thing to say.

Instead, the other brothers, who didn't understand the situation, spoke up jokingly, "Brother Mobai, was there any race where you didn't give it your all?"

"Of course not."

"Then you didn't leave any regrets. As for the future... you haven't even started yet, so it's zero; any little achievement you make is a gain, you won't lose out."

As this person spoke, he even winked at Jiang Mobai.

The others also chimed in, heartlessly.

Their carelessness made Wang Zi very anxious, fearing that Jiang Mobai would feel offended.

But after looking at Jiang Mobai... Wang Zi discovered that he was smiling faintly.

It was very obvious that he was not angry.

So, the brothers' comfort was, to some extent, still effective.

And once Wang Zi's mindset relaxed, he also thought of something.

He leaned close to Jiang Mobai and whispered, "Miss Su likes making money; she doesn't care whether you can place or not. If you reek of money, she might love you even more."

What a load of nonsense!

Jiang Mobai's brows furrowed.

However...

Thinking about it carefully, what Wang Zi said was not without reason.

Jiang Mobai did not want to lose his composure in front of Su Kexuan.

Yet he forgot that Su Kexuan did not care at all.

Therefore, Jiang Mobai's worries and fears were completely meaningless.

In this instant, Jiang Mobai felt his tense nerves loosen quite a bit.

At this moment, a member shouted, "Let's take a group photo!"

"Right, such a happy moment must be recorded!"

"What happy moment? Why is your tongue tripping over your words today, kid! This is called a commemorative moment!"

"Oh, whatever, hurry up, hurry up, hold the phone higher!"

Someone took out a phone and held it up high.

Several people centered themselves around Jiang Mobai and looked at the lens together.

Then...

"Cheese!"

Accompanied by a "Click!" sound, the heartless smiles of several people were recorded.

Jiang Mobai was also smiling.

At this moment, he was no longer heavy-hearted, but had returned to the way he was supposed to be.

Su Kexuan stood not far away and saw this scene.

She tilted her head slightly and also curled her lips into a shallow smile.

Although Su Kexuan didn't say anything, Jiang Mobai's low-spirited appearance just now had felt like an eyesore to her.

And this current flamboyance was what truly belonged to Jiang Mobai.

But...

Just as Su Kexuan was silently lost in thought, she suddenly sensed something.

She turned her head to look, but discovered nothing.

Was it an illusion?

Su Kexuan's brows furrowed involuntarily.

And not far away, someone was shouting, "Everyone, come drink the victory wine!"

Drinking the victory wine was an important part of today's event.

It also meant the event was drawing to a close.

The crowd came to the champagne tower, first taking a flurry of photos, and then everyone picked up a glass of champagne.

Su Kexuan also held one, but had no intention of drinking.

Someone else saw this and suggested, "Miss Su, let's have a drink together."

"I drove here, so I won't drink."

"This is celebratory wine; drinking it might bring you good luck."

Su Kexuan did not believe in such claims.

Everything she possessed was earned bit by bit through her own hard work.

If such a thing as good luck really existed in this world...

It didn't have much to do with her anyway.

Su Kexuan curled her lips, about to respond to the other person.

But she heard Jiang Mobai say, "If she doesn't want to drink, she doesn't have to."

Upon hearing this, the other person smiled ambiguously, "Yo, so protective of her."

"This is called gentlemanly spirit."

"Mm, our Mobai is the most gentlemanly toward women."

This guy... he really knows how to hit a sore spot!
