“AAAAAAAAAH Lu Zhiyuan, you arc the king!” Zhou Jinjin screamed ecstatically. “You’re the king! The championship is ours! It will always be ours!” “Cici, he won!” Zhou Jinjin’s reaction didn’t surprise Ji Chi. Chen Rushi remained composed, but Gu Ci felt a pang in her heart as if she had been injected with a shot of adrenaline. “I told you he would definitely win.”

With his own efforts, he had warmed up two private rooms that were initially filled with a cold ambience.

The applause from the audience was all for Lu Zhiyuan. Gu Ci watched as he stepped out of the car, removed his helmet, and gently wiped the sweat off his hair. Every move he made was magnified in Gu Ci’s eyes.

He greeted the audience with his usual expression while Zhou Jinjin busied herself taking photos. She had brought a camera and was looking for the best angle to capture the moments. Max had secured seventh place, which was not bad.

Ji Chi half-smiled and said, “Just two days ago, he was seriously injured in a car accident and had over 20 stitches. Why did he push himself so hard in the qualifying race? People who don’t know any better might think his girlfriend is in the stands.”

Gu Ci glanced at Ji Chi, who was calmly sipping his drink. “Young people are always impulsive.”

The Dynasty team advanced to the main race. Lu Zhiyuan cast a glance at the VIP stands. Gu Ci felt as if his gaze was on her, but it could also be an illusion.

Lu Zhiyuan followed the medical team backstage.

“Jinjin, go back to the hotel first.” Gu Ci quickly left.

Chen Rushi looked at her retreating figure and swirled the red wine in his glass, wearing a cold smile.

Lu Zhiyuan had suffered serious injuries and still competed fiercely in the qualifying race for the championship. It had already become a trending topic, creating a huge buzz. After stepping off the track, he went straight to the hospital. Many people were concerned about how he would perform in the race, but more people admired his unwavering determination and sportsmanship.

After an hour of high-intensity racing, even a healthy driver would feel utterly exhausted, let alone Lu Zhiyuan, whose physical condition was compromised.

Gu Ci took Li Jiang’s car to the hospital. When he removed his training clothes, she noticed the gauze stained red with blood. He had lost a significant amount of blood, and his face looked extremely pale. He needed a blood transfusion and additional stitches.

“Third Young Master, the medical team advises you to withdraw from tomorrow’s competition,” the doctor said. The second injury was even more severe.

Gu Ci stood at the door and overheard the doctor’s words. Li Jiang spoke in a low voice, “Miss Gu Ci, please persuade Third Master.”

“I can’t persuade him!” Gu Ci replied calmly. If it were Lu Zhiyuan, there might be some hope.

Gu Ci stood by the window, silently peeling an apple. Lu Zhiyuan lay half-reclined, his expression neutral, and said, “Go back to the hotel.”

“I want to wait until Lu Zhiyuan wakes up.” Gu Ci didn’t even look up. “You rest, and I’ll occupy myself. We won’t disturb each other.”

Gu Ci meticulously peeled all ten apples that were brought by the motorcade to visit the patient. She peeled them slowly and gracefully. Lu Zhiyuan glanced at her, then at the ten peeled apples, but said nothing. Li Jiang brought a nutritious meal, and Gu Ci went to wash her hands in the bathroom.

Li Jiang was taken aback. “Why did Miss Gu Ci peel all the apples?”

Third Master only ate apples.

A few had already oxidized because she had peeled them too early.

Lu Zhiyuan looked at him coldly. Li Jiang didn’t dare to say anything else and placed the nutritious meal in front of him. Lu Zhiyuan was receiving an IV drip with one hand while Li Jiang unpacked the meal.

“Third Master, I’ll go get a few more apples.”

“No need!”

Li Jiang hesitated. Did he really not want an apple after every meal?

But he didn’t dare to question Lu Zhiyuan’s words and quietly left the ward.

Gu Ci read the news on her phone while Lu Zhiyuan ate silently. Occasionally, he glanced at the large apples in front of him, unsure of how to eat them, his appetite affected. Gu Ci removed all the apples he wanted to eat, deliberately placing them in front of him.

She scrolled through her phone for a while. The news was filled with praises for Lu Zhiyuan’s sportsmanship. This wave of support and the increase in fans. Gu Ci looked up and caught Lu Zhiyuan’s gaze moving away from the apple.

Gu Ci took an apple and took a bite. She continued reading the news as she ate the apple.

Ten minutes later, Lu Zhiyuan lost his appetite, and Gu Ci had eaten three apples.

She smiled and asked Lu Zhiyuan, “Would you like to have one?”

Lu Zhiyuan remained silent, his eyes cold. Gu Ci tossed all the apples into the trash can in front of him.

Gu Ci wiped her hands and continued scrolling through her phone.

The atmosphere in the room became tense and stifling.

“Li Jiang!” Lu Zhiyuan’s voice lacked any emotion. When Li Jiang entered, he barely touched the nutritious meal. Upon seeing the large apple in the trash can, Li Jiang’s eyes widened.

He suspected that Miss Gu Ci had done it intentionally, but he had no evidence. He was the only one who knew Third Master’s food preferences, but he kept his mouth shut and never revealed it.

Third Young Master despised apples the most.

Li Jiang collected the uneaten meal and left the ward. Gu Ci and Lu Zhiyuan were the only ones left in the room. One pretended to sleep while lying down, and the other read the news on her phone. The sound of their breathing was the only noise, intertwining with each other.

“Gu Ci, if you want to see him, come back at dawn.” Lu Zhiyuan interlocked his fingers over his stomach. He couldn’t ignore her presence. “I’m not used to sharing a room with others.”

They silently stared at each other. A tinge of pain flickered in Gu Ci’s eyes. “Then get up and drive me away.”

“Gu Ci, don’t test my limits.” Lu Zhiyuan’s unhappiness was evident, and his tone grew heavier. “I don’t want to see you.”

Gu Ci clenched her teeth and gazed deeply into his cold eyes. They faced each other in silence.

“Fine!” Gu Ci stood up. “As you wish!”

When Li Jiang saw Gu Ci leave, his expression turned desolate. In his heart, he thought, Third Young Master, every debt has its debtor. This has nothing to do with me. If you really can’t bear it, slap yourself.

“Miss Gu Ci, I’ll arrange for someone to take you back.”

“I’m not going back. Get me a separate ward. Don’t inform him.”

Li Jiang found himself in a difficult position. “Alright.”

Gu Ci stayed in the neighboring ward. She wasn’t sleepy at all. Leaning against the window, she gazed at the dark night. Gu Ziyu called her through a video call. Gu Ci answered, “You’re awake, baby.”

Gu Ziyu rubbed his eyes. “I just woke up. Is Mom in the hospital?”

“Yes, Dad’s wound reopened.”

“I don’t care about him. He’s strong and tough, always showing off his skills. He won’t die.” The little one’s voice sounded peculiar. He heated up some milk and toasted himself. “Mommy, are you coming back with the motorcade?”

“Not necessarily!” Gu Ci replied. “Jinjin wants to go to Europe. I’ll go with her.”

“Oh…” Gu Ziyu took a bite of his toast. Gu Ci glanced playfully at Third Master’s expression and smiled. “Baby, are you mad?”

“I’m not mad.” Gu Ziyu picked up an apple and started eating it. Gu Ci couldn’t help but think that Gu Ziyu was truly like Third Master. No wonder Li Jiang was so respectful towards him.

“Are the apples tasty?”

“Delicious!”

“Children need a balanced diet. Try eating more oranges and strawberries.”

“I don’t like those..” Gu Ziyu said, “Mom, why do you look so sad?”
