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.
