Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!

Chapter 357: Chapter 357: Why Can’t I Compete? Why Is It Her!

Jun Ruyi rushed to the edge of the track just as the referee’s countdown ended: ”...three, two, one! Substitute on the field.”

Zhou Yu got out of the car with a grave expression: ”The engine has issues, and...”

”Your foot injury worsened when the car flipped just now.” A clear, firm voice interjected, ”Get down and apply some medicine quickly.”

Zhou Yu looked dejected, his eyes reddened: ”Sorry, master...”

Everyone only noticed his failure, but only his most respected master noticed his injury and the blood seeping from his ankle.

”Don’t say anymore, it wasn’t your fault.” Qin Xin tossed him a tube of ointment and a bandage, ”Handle it yourself.”

Jun Ruyi, however, walked over as if no one was around, directly opening the door of car number 98: ”Rain God, leave it to me.”

Her shining moment as a substitute was about to arrive.

She was no longer an unsung female warrior working in the background.

But the most dazzling heroine under the spotlight, capable of saving today’s race outcome.

Just as Jun Ruyi was filled with fighting spirit and ready to take action.

Zhou Yu frowned and pressed down on the car door: ”The car is damaged. Besides, we don’t need you to substitute.”

Jun Ruyi was taken aback: ”If we’re not using a substitute, are we admitting defeat? Rain God, are you crazy?”

Zhou Yu seriously said: ”I’m not crazy.”

Jun Ruyi: ”Then why not let me on the field?”

Zhou Yu: ”Because there’s someone more suitable. Moreover, she is a registered player, not a substitute member.”

Jun Ruyi’s breath hitched.

A registered player implies at least 8 years of racing experience.

Unlike other professions, many racers enter the field in their youth, relying on their prime years, and they are quickly eliminated. Zhou Yu, having joined the team for 5 years, was already a veteran.

How did she not know there was someone with over 8 years of experience in the Imperial Team?

Jun Ruyi gritted her teeth: ”Who is it?”

If it were indeed a formidable veteran, she would accept it.

However, Zhou Yu did not answer her.

Instead, he turned around and respectfully said to Qin Xin: ”Car number 99 is here, please!”

For Rain God to humble himself with a ”please”, it was clear what kind of identity the other person possessed.

But when Jun Ruyi looked over, she found that it was a face she had seen before, extremely young.

That small face was as white as frost and snow, particularly distinct in the black-and-white racing suit, exuding a cold demeanor.

Nevertheless, she had an uncommon charm and calmness for a young girl. Even in front of a highly valued racer like Zhou Yu, her expression remained unfazed and unruffled.

Jun Ruyi was stunned; she had indeed seen this girl before. Wasn’t she the university student she had brushed past outside Nalan Ye Jue’s office? Hadn’t she gone to the satellite monitoring room out of curiosity?

This kid can drive a race car? Is this a joke?

There was a flash of anger and disbelief in Jun Ruyi’s heart: ”Are you kidding me? You just said we needed a registered player with 8 years of experience! Why is she allowed to take the field?”

Zhou Yu turned his head, wanting to speak but held back: ”Because it’s her. Because only she can.”

Jun Ruyi was rendered speechless: ”...”

From beginning to end, Qin Xin did not acknowledge her with a single word, only patting Zhou Yu’s tense shoulder: ”Relax a bit. There’s nothing to be tense about for something like this, I’ll check your injury after I’m done.”

The tone was just like an elder comforting a junior, which left Jun Ruyi bewildered and disoriented.

This small issue?

This was a hellish PK at the crossroads of life and death between A Continent and the Imperial Team, wasn’t it?

Both sides’ fans were about to go crazy.

And you’re calling this a small issue?
