Chapter 742: Wind, You Are Really Kind……
Chapter 742: Su Xiaoxi’s Surprise
What on earth was going on? As they looked at Huang Shi’s time, everyone found it hard to believe that he had achieved such a performance. They were all stunned by Huang Shi’s results. Not to mention them—even professional drivers could hardly achieve such times. And considering that the car was Mike’s, which Huang Shi was not familiar with, the fact that he could still pull off such a performance was astounding. Was Huang Shi even human?
"You really surprised me. I didn’t expect to encounter you here in Tianhai. You have great potential, and I would like to invite you on behalf of my team to join us. Are you interested?"
Mike was equally taken aback by Huang Shi’s last lap time displayed on the big screen. Although tonight was just a trial run to familiarize with the track, Mike was always exceedingly serious about racing, so his nighttime results would not differ much from his true level. Yet, this young man managed to clock a time less than a second slower than his—this was truly astonishing!
So the moment Huang Shi stepped away, Mike couldn’t resist offering him a spot on the team. For such a talented driver, Mike would not let the opportunity slip by. Having someone with potential like that as his teammate would be a blissful addition to the team, and Mike was eagerly looking forward to welcoming this fresh blood into his ranks.
"Not interested," declined Huang Shi with a shake of his head, directly rejecting Mike’s kind offer. If it had been before, he would have been ecstatic to receive such news, but now, his passion wasn’t the same as it once was. Racing was no longer his sole interest, and the idea of joining a team was even less appealing. No matter what, he could not leave Tianhai or his boss, Lin Feng.
"What!"
"Did I hear that wrong?"
"Huang Shi refused!"
...
When Zhang Xing and others heard Mike inviting Huang Shi to join the team, they were all dumbfounded. Mike’s team was one of the top racing teams in the world. Joining it was the dream of any racer. To think that Mike would out of the blue extend an invitation to Huang Shi was unfathomable.
But hearing Huang Shi decline the offer left them nearly speechless with shock. They couldn’t understand how someone who loved racing as much as Huang Shi showed no excitement over the news but instead instantly turned down a tremendous opportunity without a second thought. Was this person really Huang Shi? Everyone was at a loss for words...
"So, you still insist that a car can be driven that way?" Mike was surprised by Huang Shi’s refusal to join the team, but it was just that—surprise. Seeing a certain indifference in Huang Shi’s eyes, he realized that Huang Shi was only interested in racing as a hobby and had no aspirations of becoming a professional. Knowing this, Mike didn’t press the issue. As a driver himself, he knew that unless someone was utterly dedicated to the sport, they could never become a good driver.
However, Mike couldn’t help remembering Huang Shi’s performance on the track, especially his handling of the big S-curve, which he also passed by slowing down. Although the deceleration was subtle, it was still a reduction in speed. With this in mind, Mike asked again, hoping Huang Shi would take back his previous boast, as respecting racing necessitated it.
"Just because I can’t do it doesn’t mean others can’t. I can’t do it simply because my skills and reflexes aren’t fast enough yet, but that’s how the car should be driven," Huang Shi casually remarked before turning to leave. For him, these matters no longer held interest. This might be his last time at a racetrack—having just finished his run, he felt none of the earlier passion and found the place utterly bland. It would be better to leave.
Watching Huang Shi’s indifferent departing figure, Mike felt a complex mix of emotions. From what Huang Shi said, he was convinced that Huang Shi wasn’t just talking big. Someone in this world truly could drive like that. But up until now, no one had managed to take a turn without slowing down, which completely defied the laws of physics. What was going on?
Mike’s curiosity was piqued. Why was Huang Shi so insistent on his claim? Could it be that someone in this world really could do it?

The following morning was sunny and bright. The rising sun sent a beam of light through the bedroom window, waking Su Xiaoxi. She felt excessively shy as she thought about last night’s events, her heart racing. Slowly opening her eyes, she immediately saw Lin Feng had already gotten up and was sitting on a chair by her bed, tenderly watching her.
"Feng..." Su Xiaoxi’s cheeks flushed red with shyness. Although she had become Lin Feng’s woman, her timidity still made her feel uneasy as she spoke bashfully.
"Xiao Xi, you’re leaving today. Let me help regulate your body before you go. If your health improves, I’ll feel more at ease," Lin Feng said with a loving smile upon seeing Su Xiaoxi awake. He had thought of this just a moment ago and had taken advantage of her sleeping to check on her health. She had several issues, but they were all minor and easy for him to address.
"Okay..." Su Xiaoxi nodded with a smile at Lin Feng’s words. She was acutely aware of her health; she frequented the hospital often. If Lin Feng could indeed cure her ailments, it would be a huge relief, sparing her the pain that interfered with her performances!
However, it suddenly occurred to Su Xiaoxi what Lin Feng’s statement implied. Did it mean Lin Feng knew medicine? That was something she had never heard about before!
"Lin Feng, do you know medical skills?" Su Xiaoxi couldn’t help but ask Lin Feng, as she really wanted to know if Lin Feng truly possessed medical knowledge, which to her was simply unfathomable. Lin Feng was already so formidable, and if he also knew medical skills, he could not be described as human anymore, but should be referred to as an Immortal!
"Of course, what’s so surprising about that? No need to be so shocked. By the way, you have quite a few problems. There’s slight neuralgia, which seems to be a problem with the reflex nerves, a minor gastric ulcer that probably has to do with your irregular meals, an injury on your knee which, if I am not wrong, is the result of an old injury, and your blood flow is not going very smooth, indicating you likely suffer from severe dysmenorrhea. Am I right about these?"
Su Xiaoxi looked stunned as Lin Feng casually smiled and mentioned the issues he had discovered, intending to convey a simple message: he indeed knew medical skills, and his skills were more than passable, at least not many could outperform him.
"What... What!" After hearing Lin Feng’s words, Su Xiaoxi was completely dumbfounded, looking at Lin Feng in disbelief. Her mind was a whirl, hardly able to believe what Lin Feng said, which was all correct without the slightest error. If she didn’t know Lin Feng, she might even suspect that he had investigated her medical history. Otherwise, how could he know such detailed information!
In a moment, Su Xiaoxi fully understood one thing—that Lin Feng truly knew medical skills. Observing Lin Feng’s smile, she regained her senses, offered a smile back to Lin Feng, and said with deep emotion, "Lin Feng, it’s really great to have you. I never thought you would know medical skills. If only I had met you earlier, I wouldn’t have had to suffer so much!"
"It’s not too late to meet me now," Lin Feng replied with a gentle smile upon hearing Su Xiaoxi’s words, as she was already his woman, and of course, he was obliged to take care of her from now on.
"Then... how are you going to treat me? What do I need to do?" Seeing Lin Feng speak in such a manner, Su Xiaoxi also laughed understandingly, grasping Lin Feng’s intention. With things being so, what more could she say? With this on her mind, she asked Lin Feng, wanting to know how he planned to treat her.
"You don’t have to do anything. Just lie there. However, it’d be best not to mention to anyone what you’re about to see," Lin Feng’s voice was very gentle, simply making his intention clear.
Not to do anything?
Su Xiaoxi momentarily paused upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, puzzled by such an arrangement. How could one treat without doing anything? Even Immortals couldn’t achieve that, could they? But just when Su Xiaoxi was perplexedly wondering, a scene unfolded before her eyes that she would never forget for the rest of her life!
She suddenly saw countless golden filaments emanating from Lin Feng’s body, which seemed to be alive as they surged towards her body. Yet, she wasn’t scared at all, letting these golden threads approach freely. Lin Feng had said that he was going to treat her, so this must be Lin Feng’s special method.
There was no discomfort, nor any pain. If she had to say there was a sensation, then it was pure comfort. Her whole body felt warm, and, unable to help it, Su Xiaoxi let out a soft moan. She had never imagined that receiving treatment could be so comforting. This was no treatment; even a massage couldn’t be this comfortable!
Minutes later, Lin Feng opened his eyes and withdrew the golden Gang Qi Filaments, smiling at Su Xiaoxi, "It’s all taken care of now. Your body won’t have any problems in the future. If anything comes up, I’ll just treat you again. I’m going to make something for you to eat now. After breakfast, I’ll take you to the airport!"
After speaking, Lin Feng tapped Su Xiaoxi’s nose and then turned around to go downstairs to cook, having done all that needed to be done...
"Feng, how many more surprises do you have for me..." With Lin Feng leaving the room, Su Xiaoxi said these words to herself with a blissful smile on her face. Then she got up to get dressed, feeling completely relaxed and free from the fatigue and pain that used to plague her. Overjoyed, she hummed a tune as she entered the bathroom for a quick shower, cleaned up, and changed her clothes.
After checking that there were no problems with her body, she finally walked out of the room...
"Come and eat," Lin Feng said with a smile upon seeing Su Xiaoxi emerge. While she was taking a shower, he had prepared a few dishes in the kitchen—a couple of simple appetizers, a bowl of plain rice congee, and two tender fried eggs, a good nutritional combination that was perfect for Su Xiaoxi’s breakfast.
"Feng, you’re so kind..." Su Xiaoxi’s tears fell upon seeing the food on the table, overwhelmed by emotion and at a loss for words. She was becoming more and more convinced that, with Lin Feng by her side, she was undoubtedly the happiest woman in the world!
"Silly girl, eat up. It’s going to get cold. We need to set off after eating," Lin Feng said softly, walking over to where Su Xiaoxi was standing still, wiping away her tears with a wave of his hand, and then leading her to the table, watching as she slowly ate everything he had prepared.
In an atmosphere filled with joy, Su Xiaoxi was especially obedient because she wanted to remember the taste of the first meal Lin Feng had made for her forever. She planned to cherish this taste for a lifetime, and before she knew it, she had finished everything—it was the most she had ever eaten for breakfast, as she used to have only a little milk in the morning to maintain her figure...
After breakfast, under Lin Feng’s escort, Su Xiaoxi was taken to the airport and handed over to the security team arranged by her senior sister. After a brief farewell to Su Xiaoxi, she walked through the security gate with an escort of over twenty bodyguards and disappeared from Lin Feng’s sight.
