Chapter 4 Your Secret 2
Ji Shiyi chuckled and explained to her, which was rare: "Winning is not the best solution, because once you win, it means that someone will lose."
How could the loser accept it calmly? The scar on his face was the best proof.
"Okay, whatever you say is what it is." Jun Yi didn't want to argue with him, because he couldn't win anyway. She put the first aid kit back, opened the upper cabinet in the bathroom, and stood on tiptoe. Ji Shiyi slowly leaned towards her and pushed the first aid kit into the cabinet with one hand.
She felt the heat on her back and turned around to find Ji Shiyi leaning on the sink with his hands, holding her in his arms, with a strange look in his eyes.
"What should I do? Now you know a secret of mine," Ji Shiyi looked at her with a half-smile, with a wicked look that made his handsome face even more outstanding. "In order to keep this secret, I can only..."
"You want to kill someone to silence him?"
Too bad, she has never been able to resist Ji Shiyi's looks. She felt her blood boiling and her heartbeat quickening. She wanted to step back but her back was already against the marble.
"Then I can't bear to give it up. It's very simple, Jun Yi, you have to exchange your secret."
"I...I have no secrets."
"Now I have it."
Ji Shiyi leaned over and gave the girl a light kiss on the lips.
"Your secret is that I, Ji Shiyi, like you."
Jun Yi didn't move, his cat-like eyes were wide open.
Ji Shiyi was in a very good mood when he saw her silly look. Only a girl who had never been kissed would show such an innocent reaction. Who cares about Wei Zhi, Gong Ming, or his junior brother? Now, in front of Jun Yi, there was only him, Ji Shiyi.
Suddenly, he thought of something and quickly added: "You can't throw me out now, I'm injured."
After being reminded of this, Jun Yi suddenly realized that he could have avoided it just now. But when Ji Shiyi approached, she completely shut down.
In a trance, she heard Ji Shiyi ask:
"do you have a boyfriend?"
She shook her head mechanically.
"Do you hate me?"
She shook her head again.
"So... you like me?"
She hesitated for a moment and answered honestly: "I like your face."
Ji Shiyi's smile froze slightly, and he leaned back, supporting himself with his hands on the edge of the bathtub.
"I like you very much. At first, I admired you, and now I like you. I feel happy when I am with you. I like you, and this is your secret."
What kind of secret is this? I don't even know it!
Ji Shiyi raised her index finger and pointed it at Jun Yi's red lips, which were slightly parted in surprise: "You should be happy. You are the first woman to accept my true confession."
"but I……"
"You don't need to answer." Seeing her hesitation, Ji Shiyi retreated to advance, "Don't feel burdened. It's just that I like you one-sidedly. You can go do your own thing and like the person you like."
"You mean, you like me, but you don't require me to like you, and I can still have 'other' boyfriends?"
Jun Yi couldn't believe it. Isn't this the spare tire method? The spare tire given by Princess Shi Yi was made of 18K gold inlaid with diamonds. It was so hardcore that it could overturn in a minute.
"Junyi, you are so popular now, you must be given some preferential policies." Ji Shiyi said aggrievedly, but in his heart he was very satisfied with his actions. Nothing made him feel more comfortable than taking the lead. "Don't worry, it won't affect your life and competition. In my opinion, if you make good use of the fact that I like you, your club can develop rapidly. Of course, during the time I like you, I will never look at anyone else."
The soft light in the bathroom softened Ji Shiyi's resolute face, and a different feeling flashed in his deep eyes.
From the first sight, Jun Yi thought Ji Shiyi was very handsome and met all her definitions of a handsome man.
Seeing Jun Yi's silly look, Ji Shiyi raised her hand and rubbed her head.
"We should have talked about this in a better place." He looked around the hotel bathroom and sighed softly, "You should have told me earlier, knowing that Yue Ru was looking for me." He was caught off guard by Ji Jingli.
Yueru, who is that?
Jun Yi's eyes widened, and he finally remembered the woman he had rejected. She glanced at the coat that Ji Shiyi was wearing.
Hmm? What did he just say?
——During the time that I like you, I will never look at anyone else.
How many times do you look at a cup of coffee?
With a snap, Jun Yi slapped away Ji Shiyi's hand that was rubbing her head. He used such strong force that the back of Ji Shiyi's hand turned red on the spot.
The careful Nie Qianqian soon discovered something was wrong between the two.
"Junjun, if you want the club to last long, you have to follow President Ji's lead. Do you remember what we talked about?"
"I have already been very accommodating to him." Jun Yi felt very bitter.
Whether it was pretending to be well-behaved, giving a tie, or accompanying the big boss to test-fly the little monsoon, she did it according to Nie Qianqian's special care. At the beginning, there was indeed an element of flattery, but after getting along for a long time, she slowly discovered that Ji Shiyi was actually not bad, except that he was a little arrogant, a little bad-mouthed, a little stingy, and had a bad temper.
But now, everything is different again, she is "forced" to have a huge secret.
"Then Junjun, why haven't you come to the scene yet? Ji Feng's press conference is about to begin."
"Oh, it's tonight." Jun Yi played dumb.
She hung up the phone, put away the Gale, and then slowly returned to the hotel from the practice field to change clothes.
Although she had never been in a relationship, she knew that no man would say he liked her and then date other women. Because it was a secret, she couldn't discuss it with others. She felt that Ji Shiyi had tricked her.
In fact, she didn't want to see Ji Shiyi, but there was nothing she could do since she was the captain of the club.
Tonight is the night of the monsoon. The hotel banquet hall has been decorated with a drone theme, and Ji Shiyi himself is like an arrogant emperor, sitting on the throne, accepting the worship of everyone. If it weren't for the wound on the corner of his eye, Jun Yi would have thought that what happened last night was just a dream.
The press conference has begun. The banquet hall is dark except for the main stage. People are standing under the stage, looking forward to it.
"Brother Yi, this way!" Gong Ming waved to Jun Yi on the other side of the crowd.
The short Jun Yi had to make his way through the crowd.
The stage lit up, and a rapid shot of Little Monsoon free falling from the Burj Khalifa appeared. In that instant, Jun Yi saw a familiar person in the dark crowd - ordinary people's teeth would not reflect light under the spotlight.
"Little Z is here too?" She squeezed next to her teammates.
Everyone shook their heads. Little Z, who failed the midterm exam, should be in a cram school now doing the "Three-Year High School Entrance Examination and Five-Year Simulation".
The video screen on the stage flipped and attracted everyone's amazement. The palm-sized drone quickly passed through the towering buildings and then dived down from the tower in free fall. It chased the racing car and raced with the high-speed train.
Jifeng's drones have always been stable, never flying so fast, and never taking such breathtaking pictures. Moreover, this small drone is very easy to disassemble, just like a Lego toy, and can be assembled into different shapes.
Ji Shiyi stood in the center of the stage, with the spotlight shining on him, as if he was the only protagonist in the world.
"Everyone, I believe you have all seen the performance of the Little Monsoon. Please guess the retail price."
The audience guessed the price to be more expensive, after all, Jifeng's production line has always produced only exquisite and expensive products. When Ji Shiyi said the real price, everyone thought that he might have missed a zero in excitement.
"Yes, that's the price."
The low price and high cost-performance ratio make racing machines no longer exclusive to geeks or enthusiasts. It is like the swallows in the halls of the rich and powerful in the old days have flown into the homes of ordinary people. Monsoon is subverting the way of recording any extreme sports.
People in the audience kept asking questions:
"Boss Ji, can you tell me why you entered the racing machine industry?"
“Will the low-price strategy affect Monsoon’s revenue?”
"Is it a response to the competitor SL?"
Ji Shiyi raised his lips and looked down at the crowd: "I see that my friends who play racing games have a hard time. Imported parts are expensive, and it's tiring to install them by yourself. When I ask them why they import them, they say the quality is good. I'm surprised that Chinese people always think that imported products are of first-class quality, while Chinese-made products are of average quality, as if our own products are second-rate products. I am not satisfied with the entire market environment and want to do something to change this situation."
He spoke with such confidence, as if he were the savior of racing gamers.
A foreign reporter asked in English: "Will Jifeng withdraw from the US market due to the data security issues of Xunfeng products?"
"I'll say it again," Ji Shiyi replied in pure American accent, "Monsoon will sue the hackers and the companies behind them that damage my company's interests until they go bankrupt. If you want to defeat me, you can, but do it with dignity! I'll be waiting for you at the Drone Racing World Championship!"
Everyone knows that SL is the old owner of the Drone Championship. Ji Shiyi's powerful words spread to the whole world through the Internet, as if he was issuing a challenge to his opponent and once again exposing the opponent's malicious competition behavior to the public.
"Come and fight me if you don't agree?" Jun Yi muttered to himself in the audience.
She was too familiar with this kind of unwillingness to admit defeat, but for a businessman, it seemed too impulsive. Didn't Ji Shiyi say that he didn't care about winning or losing?
"Next week, Little Monsoon will compete with pilots from the W Flying Club. If you are interested, you can keep an eye on its performance."
Ji Shiyi made a gesture.
The lights illuminated the preparation area, and the pilots in uniform became the focus of the audience. They held their heads high, like superheroes gathering together, and the electronic screens behind them displayed everyone's information and the performance of the racing aircraft.
There is one aircraft that stands out, with a fluorescent green body that is delicate and tough. It is the protagonist in the video, the Little Monsoon racing aircraft. Its pilot is a newcomer with less than a month of flying experience. Everyone can't help but look forward to what kind of amazing performance this ace pilot, who looks strong and tough and seems to be able to shoot down a plane with his bare hands, will have.
"Now, please welcome the captain of our W Flying Club."
The strong light made Jun Yi squint her eyes, and she could also see the figure in the last row clearly. Sure enough, the only person whose teeth could reflect the light was Xiao Z! What was he doing there?
Under Nie Qianqian's supervision, Junyi had memorized Ji Feng's press release and knew how to praise investors on stage. But at this moment, she quickly and naturally handed the microphone to Gong Ming, who was wearing a mask, turned around and squeezed out of the team, and ran from the back.
Under the spotlight, Gong Ming froze on the spot, puzzled as to how he had become the captain again.
Ji Shiyi's face suddenly darkened, and the corner of his injured eye ached slightly. It would have been fine if he had just walked away yesterday, but today he had been hiding from him for the whole day, and now he had simply abandoned his teammates and ran away.
Is he really that...that unacceptable?
Nie Qianqian was also speechless, as they were talking fine just now.
"Junjun, where are you going?" Nie Qianqian quickly made a phone call.
"Catch someone and explain later." Jun Yi, wearing a Superman uniform, ran out of the hotel.
Finally, she found the guy at the corner of the street.
"Z! Why are you running?"
The boy, with a face full of grievance, could no longer hold back his tears and hugged Jun Yi's thigh with a cry.
"I knew you didn't want me! I've been with you for so many years, how could you have the heart to just pick someone else to replace me... Wow!"
Jun Yi was eye-catching enough in his attire, and after Xiao Z's yelling, even more people gathered around to watch him.
"Get up first." Jun Yi pulled Xiao Z awkwardly, but Xiao Z was like a boneless person wrapped around her legs, gritting his teeth tightly and refusing to let go.
Jun Yi pretended to be angry: "If you continue to act like a scoundrel, I will beat you up!"
The middle school boy stopped crying instantly. Being a follower for many years made him understand one thing: Brother Yi's heart might be soft, but his fist must be iron. One punch could knock him away along with his steel teeth.
The two sat down in a milk tea shop on the street, and Little Z still looked at Jun Yi pitifully.
"Does your mother agree with you coming to Changzhou?" Jun Yi asked him.
"I ran away secretly." Little Z confessed truthfully, and quickly added, "My mom doesn't know I'm here. I told my classmates that I was staying at their house for tutoring."
Although Jun Yi didn't have the same fatherly love for Xiao Z as Zhuo Fan did, he also felt that it was very inappropriate.
"What if your mother finds out you ran away and never lets you come to training again?"
Little Z lowered his head and clenched his fists: "My mother has already made up her mind. She contacted the club yesterday and asked me to quit permanently!"
"What?" Jun Yi couldn't believe it.
Little Z, a sophomore in middle school, is a hard worker and talented. He spends all the time his peers spend playing games and chatting online on training. Although he has only been in contact with drones for a short time, his flying time is among the best in the club. Before the competition, he even practiced flying for seven or eight hours every day. It would be a pity to quit just like that.
"Because of academic performance?"
"Grades are the main reason." The boy looked at her pitifully.
Since childhood, Z has lived with his mother's encouragement and expectations. His mother always said that he was a talented child and could succeed in anything as long as he wanted to do it. For this reason, she had enrolled him in various interest classes. But when Z started to get in touch with drones, his mother changed her mind and thought he was wasting his time.
"My mom doesn't understand drones at all. She thinks I'm wasting my time. Brother Yi, help me. I want to fly a plane. I have to participate in the competition next week to prove to my mom the significance of flying a racing plane."
According to the publicity and promotion arrangement of Jifeng, Little Jifeng will fly no matter what. If Xiao Z returns to the game, he will definitely choose one of Gong Ming and Keda Ya.
If you do this, you will lose.
Seeing that Jun Yi didn't agree, Xiao Z started to cry again: "Help me, Brother Yi, you are all I have."
"Anyway, I'll find you a place to stay. Did you bring any money with you when you left?"
"I only have 20 yuan left." The middle school student said distressedly, "My mom smashed all my racing machines, and I spent all my New Year's money to buy this one."
Little Z took out a brand new racing plane from his backpack and held it in his arms like a treasure, as if any difficulty could be overcome as long as he could fly.
Looking at the innocent boy, Jun Yi felt like she was looking at herself a few years ago. The difference was that there was no parent to stop her at that time, only Wei Zhi, who was like a beacon guiding her way.
When Junyi settled Xiao Z and returned to the hotel, the stage of Jifeng had been dismantled one after another. She finally realized that she had stood up Ji Shiyi in public. Even if there was a secret between them, she was still the captain of the club, and doing this would definitely be a slap in the face of the investors.
Jun Yi couldn't help feeling guilty.
"Don't you want to explain?" Ji Shi appeared behind her at some point, his hands folded in a calm and composed manner. "In general, a captain who refuses commercial activities will be fired."
"I didn't leave on purpose, it was..." Jun Yi paused. He couldn't tell anyone that Xiao Z had sneaked back.
"Forget it." Ji Shiyi was about to leave when Jun Yi grabbed his arm.
Panic flashed in her cat-like eyes. She couldn't let Ji Shiyi leave like this. What about Xiao Z? She decided to put aside the grudge in her heart and talk about the club first.
"Why let the ace senior fly Little Monsoon? He's a novice, if he loses, wouldn't it be a disgrace to Monsoon?" For the sake of Little Z, Jun Yi tried to shake Ji Shiyi's decision, "There should be a better way!"
Ji Shiyi sighed, feeling powerless as he treated her as his girlfriend while she only treated him as the owner of the club.
"Are you worried about the newcomer? Do you doubt his ability?"
It was Nie Qianqian's job to persuade Jun Yi to use Xiao Jifeng and the newcomers. This was agreed upon from the beginning. Ji Shiyi knew that Jun Yi wanted to win every game, and he would not let Jun Yi lose easily.
"No, I'm not..." Jun Yi knew that Ji Shiyi had misunderstood what he meant, but she couldn't explain it.
"Come, follow me." Ji Shiyi held Jun Yi's hand from behind. Perhaps it was because the action was too natural, or perhaps Jun Yi was absent-minded, she had no objection to letting someone hold her hand.
The two walked into the empty shopping mall. It was late, and even the pilots who were preparing for the competition had gone back to sleep.
Suddenly, a monotonous buzzing sound passed through the air, and a green silver light flashed over the heads of the two people. Not far away was the ace senior student wearing FPV glasses. He insisted on practicing until now, and the coach Zhuo Fan beside him was constantly issuing correction instructions.
How to get five years of work experience in three years? Everyone at Monsoon Technology can answer this question: work overtime.
A baseball player with excellent dynamic vision and a top-notch student with excellent mental arithmetic ability, he has made more efforts than others to catch up with the progress of ordinary flyers. And he has a clear goal that must be achieved.
"Go, little monsoon, for the goddess!" the ace senior roared, as if injecting power into the flying elf.
Jun Yi was surprised to find that the flight trajectory of the ace senior was almost the same as his own. It must have taken him a lot of effort to practice to this level in just a few days.
"The Little Monsoon records all your flight strategies and operating habits," Ji Shiyi explained. "It is easier to use than ordinary racing aircraft. Coupled with the pilot's own efforts, the effect of short-term intensive training is quite good."
"So you're trying to tell me that Senior Ace has tried his best and it's not shameful even if he loses?"
"I never care about winning or losing." He shrugged. "Besides, I also admire people who try their best to achieve their goals."
I heard that Senior Qianqian has agreed to date Senior Wangpai if he can finish the competition. They are both about to graduate, and there may be no reason to see each other after graduation. Therefore, Senior Wangpai will do anything to win Senior Qianqian's heart. It seems a bit cruel to ask him to give up now.
This is really difficult. She originally thought that she only needed to convince Ji Shiyi, but now there is another ace senior.
In the past, Jun Yi could only see winning or losing, but since when, she began to think about gains and losses like Ji Shiyi.
"Who's there?" Zhuo Fan's voice broke the silence.
Jun Yi was startled and subconsciously pulled Ji Shiyi under the mobile counter cart.
"Why are you hiding?" Ji Shiyi glared at Jun Yi. Just as he was about to stand up, he found that Jun Yi was holding one end of his tie in his hand.
It's too easy to pull it, it's not a dog leash... The boss's eyelids jumped, then what is he?
"We'll be in trouble if the coach sees us." Jun Yi said in a low voice.
"What's the trouble?"
"Remember the secret between us?" Jun Yi reminded him, "You can't affect my life and the game."
In the narrow space, the girl's breath blew into Ji Shiyi's ears, and he suddenly stopped struggling and tightened his arms on both sides. The bulging flight jacket was like a soft marshmallow when held in his arms, exuding an alluring aroma, but making people reluctant to bite it.
Zhuo Fan's footsteps approached, and Jun Yi nervously stuck to the person next to her. The place where their skin touched was hot and itchy. She couldn't help but look up and looked straight into Ji Shiyi's deep and bottomless eyes. There were emotions she had never understood, like an undercurrent in the sea, as if it was sucking her in.
"I didn't mean to leave the press conference." The girl moved uneasily, her big eyes filled with innocence. "As an apology, can I buy you a meal?"
The man's throat slid.
"Eat...what?"
His voice was sexy and hoarse, and he leaned over to trap her under him. Inexplicably, Jun Yi's face became hot.
"The Ferris Wheel at Global Harbor has an afternoon tea set, which Lijia gave me." As she said this, she took out two coupons from her pocket and stuck them on her forehead which was so close to her.
As if a spell had been cast to freeze him, Ji Shiyi's impulse suddenly subsided. He slowly and long exhaled a foul breath and stepped back, but unfortunately there was not enough space for him to dodge, so he could only freeze in place. The space was too narrow, so he had nowhere to put his restless hands, so he could only support himself on the roof with his backhand.
I never thought that a company boss worth hundreds of millions would be trapped under a mobile cart and unable to move.
"It seems like they've left." Jun Yi patted Ji Shiyi on the back.
Ji Shiyi shuddered again: "Wait a moment."
His heavy breathing made Jun Yi blush. After a while, even Jun Yi, who was on good terms with the boys, couldn't help but feel his heartbeat speed up. She felt a little breathless, and the thumping of her heart in her eardrums became louder and louder. It happened again. It had nothing to do with the drone, but her heartbeat speeded up and her whole body felt hot.
Ding! The phone lit up, but Jun Yi was too busy to answer it.
Ding ding ding! WeChat messages popped up one after another, and Jun Yi had to distract himself and take out his phone.
Only one person would do that. Li Jia added Jun Yi and Gong Ming to a group, and several photos popped up in the group.
"Ji Shiyi is having dinner with the same woman again. Could it be that they are in love? Pictures speak louder than words!"
In an instant, the heartbeat and the heat disappeared without a trace.
Jun Yi pushed Ji Shiyi away fiercely, but with too much force, the big boss was pushed out of the counter cart, and the back of his head hit the iron railing of the store with a loud noise.
She swiftly got out from under the counter cart, stared down at Ji Shiyi, and said coldly, "I'm going back."
Ji Shiyi got up from the ground and touched the bulge on the back of his head. He gritted his teeth and thought: Who gave that girl the courage? !
Well, that's him.
