Chapter 113 Hello, Senior
Alvin touched his chin, looked at Eddy's serious expression, and couldn't help but smirk.
With a touch of youthful greenness between his brows and a glance of a rebellious smirk, it was quite appealing.
"Eddy, are you serious?"
Eddy spoke lightly, "Only challenging things are interesting."
Alvin pursed his lips, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
"What challenge? Looks like you two are evenly matched opponents."
The way Holly looked at him was how Eddy would admire a beautiful woman.
Exactly the same.
Clearly, two sea kings met face to face to see whose tricks were better.
Eddy raised his firm eyebrows and smiled ambiguously, "Well, it depends on whether she's up for it."
Alvin looked at his game-over screen and shook his head lightly, "You better find a way to win this game first. I think you're even below being a spare tire for someone now."
Eddy was full of confidence.
"Don't worry, my skills are not just empty boasts."
But as time went on, Eddy's smile gradually disappeared, replaced by seriousness, nervousness, and eventually even impatience.
Alvin took a sip of his drink, glanced sideways, and saw him being severely cursed by his teammates.
"Eddy, do you want me to help?"
"No need!"
After a series of actions, Eddy exclaimed.
"My goodness! I died again!"
"This is different from the game I played yesterday!"
"But fortunately, Holly didn't curse at me like the others..."
Little did they know, Holly was on the verge of losing her temper.
As the game was about to end, she couldn't bear it anymore and turned on the microphone, shouting in anger.
"With your skill, you still dare to be someone's partner? Who the hell gave you such confidence?"
"I can play better than you blindfolded!"
"You can't even deliver a meal like Meituan!"
"You useless idiot!"
"Goodbye, and never show your face again!"
Luann turned her head upon hearing the noise and looked at Holly's infuriated little face. She pounded the sofa fiercely, like an irritable little cat.
Luann picked up her phone.
Soon after, the sound of Alipay's notification rang.
"Received payment of 100,000 dollars."
Holly was dumbstruck.
Luann calmly said, “A big cup of taro tea with extra taro, half-sweet. Spicy crayfish with duck neck, and six orders of dragon claws and hot pot noodles to go."
Holly's eyes sparkled as she enthusiastically hugged Luann.
"I love you!"
"Mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah!"
Luann's face was smothered with affectionate kisses. She gently pushed Holly away, with a playful glint in her eyes.
"Alright, alright, let's go play games."
"Roger!"
...
Eddy tossed his phone aside and silently drank a large glass of wine. Alvin looked at Eddy's record of 0-15-3 and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Eddy took a deep breath, suddenly grabbed his car keys, and stormed out of the bar. He dialed Holly's number.
"Hello?"
Luann's cold voice came through. Eddy hesitated for a moment, then confirmed he hadn't dialed the wrong number.
"You two are together? Give me your address, I'm coming over now."
"Do you need something?" Luann's tone was chilly.
"To talk to her about the racing, and also to give her the bag."
Eddy glanced at the carefully wrapped LV bag in the passenger seat.
Half an hour later, the doorbell rang.
"Where's Holly?"
Luann, sensing the strong smell of alcohol emanating from him, stepped aside to let him in.
"She's eating."
Eddy, puzzled, changed his shoes and walked into the house. An enticing aroma filled the air, instantly arousing his appetite.
"Oh, my goodness, this is simply criminal!"
"If I've done something wrong, let the law punish me, but please don't let me see all this!"
Eddy quickly washed his hands and sat down on the carpet in front of the sofa.
"Shoo, go away, don't swipe my food." Holly suddenly guarded it.
"Sharing is caring." Eddy, with a calm expression, picked up a duck neck.
Holly slapped his hand, "You're an adult, and I'm a young girl, we're not in the same generation! Get lost!"
"Respecting elders is a traditional virtue of our nation, and besides, I didn't come empty-handed. I brought some small cakes, which you might like..."
Holly interrupted excitedly, "Ah! Luann loves sweets! Give them to her!"
Eddy suddenly felt out of place.
"She probably can't finish this much. I bought five or six pieces."
Eddy neatly arranged the exquisite small cakes one by one.
"Do you want to try?"
Holly swallowed, "It's not good for me. I have a small appetite and a delicate palate, so I won't eat much."
"Don't be polite." Eddy picked up a fork and was about to cut a piece for her.
But Holly had already taken one. She picked up the petite triangular cake and stuffed it into her mouth.
Clatter—
The fork in Eddy's hand fell onto the table.
"Really...delicate palate..."
Luann was used to this, observing the antics of these two.
"The car race you mentioned, is it the same one Alvin talked about?"
Eddy was surprised, "You know too?"
"Mm, I'm a fan."
Eddy had a realization, "That day, I met Holly on the road and thought she was the one who drove."
The driving skills were impressive. It was the perfect opportunity to have some fun," Luann nodded slowly.
Holly raised her nose at Luann.
"What's so good about it?"
It's just that Luann is too low-key and doesn't like to show off.
Otherwise, who among these participants could be her opponent?
Luann picked up her vibrating phone. It was a message from someone she hadn't contacted in two months.
[Senior... Senior, are you there?]
[Yes.]
The person quickly sent a video. Along with a message.
[Senior, could you help me figure out why my speed is slower than my opponent?]
Luann opened the video. Two cars were racing on the track, but during a turn, one car fell significantly behind.
The person who messaged her was an online friend that Luann had known for several years.
Initially, she accidentally joined the racing group recommended by Holly, and this person started bothering her, occasionally asking some professional questions.
[The braking speed was one second slower at the braking zone.]
The person quickly replied.
[Thank you, senior.]
Rough fingers gently rubbed the screen of the phone, swaying over Luann's cartoon avatar.
They had known each other for six years, yet he didn't know what she looked like. But between the lines, it was evident that she was a woman of few words and a reserved nature.
A tinge of regret flickered across the mature and composed face of the man as he slowly put on his helmet and started the car.
If only someday he could meet this woman. But he never dared to bring it up.
The racing cars sped on the track of the Huan Cheng No. 2 Highway, raising dust in their wake.
Unyielding.
Two graceful figures stood by the spectator stands, excitedly pointing at that racing car.
"Juliet! Look! That's my big brother!"
"What do you think? Isn't my big brother incredibly handsome when he's driving?"
