CHAPTER 34: CHAPTER 28: CHANCE ENCOUNTER WITH A CELEBRITY

Looking at Qimeng, who had a serene smile on her face and was tightly pressed against him, he shifted his gaze from her face to her half-exposed fragrant shoulder and majestic curves.

"Qimeng..."

Qin Miao gently called out to Qimeng, but she showed no reaction.

Since Qimeng’s leg was pressing on Qin Miao’s abdomen, coupled with the stimulating scene in front of him, young Qin Miao wasn’t very comfortable.

However, due to the ambiguity of Qin Miao’s intended action, to avoid embarrassment, he made sure Qimeng was still asleep before making any move.

After adjusting, Qin Miao breathed a slight sigh of relief, just about to enjoy the exquisite feeling of being tightly held by Qimeng, when he saw a scene that sent chills down his spine.

At that moment, Qimeng was wide awake, looking at him with an ambiguous smile.

"Ahem... when... when did you wake up?"

"I woke up when you called me."

"Then why didn’t you respond..."

"Ahem... well, I can explain... mmph..."

Qin Miao cleared his throat, intending to explain his previous actions, but Qimeng just lunged forward, sealing his lips with hers.

...

Two hours later, they finished showering, got dressed, and checked out at the hotel front desk with their suitcases.

"Hurry, hurry!" After leaving the hotel, Qimeng hastily led Qin Miao to their parking spot, because they were about to miss their flight.

Qin Miao’s face looked a bit off, feeling weak, somewhat unsatisfied, but more so impatient.

Due to some unexpected situations in the morning, they woke up a bit late.

Now, they could only rush to the airport.

Fortunately, it was not rush hour, and their pace was quick. Qimeng was also familiar with the boarding procedures, so they managed to catch their flight.

After spending 2 hours on the plane, they arrived at Shanghai Hongqiao Airport.

As they exited the airport, they noticed a celebrity also preparing to leave, attracting a crowd of onlookers.

Curiously, Qimeng pulled Qin Miao over to join the fun. Qin Miao wasn’t very interested in celebrities, as the allure of gaming was much greater for him than watching TV or movies.

So, Qin Miao recognized very few celebrities.

However, he didn’t mind accompanying Qimeng to join the commotion since she wanted to see it, and he had no pressing matters, so he might as well accompany her.

But upon seeing the celebrity surrounded by people holding up phones for photos, Qin Miao became interested.

Qin Miao had good eyesight; he immediately recognized Wu Jing, the lead actor in "The Wandering Earth" and "War Wolf," which were his favorites.

Therefore, he also joined the crowd at the railing, stretching out his hand like other fans to see if he could shake hands with him.

It wasn’t that Qin Miao particularly liked Wu Jing; it was just his first time seeing a celebrity up close in real life.

Qin Miao did this purely for novelty and excitement.

Qimeng, seeing his actions, followed suit, reaching out to see if she could shake hands with Wu Jing.

Perhaps it was because Qimeng’s outfit and hairstyle, which was short and neutral like Wu Jing’s wife Xie Nan, caught Wu Jing’s attention as he walked by, preparing to shake hands with this fan who resembled his wife.

But at this moment, Qin Miao displayed the reflexes of a professional race car driver.

Before Wu Jing could shake Qimeng’s hand, Qin Miao intercepted, shaking hands with Wu Jing first.

Wu Jing visibly hesitated for a moment, and Qimeng was a bit dumbfounded at her boyfriend’s actions.

"Sorry, Mr. Wu Jing, this is my girlfriend."

As Qin Miao said this, he pulled Qimeng’s outstretched hand back.

Wu Jing didn’t get upset, instead chuckled and gave Qin Miao’s hand a firm shake, saying, "Your girlfriend is very pretty."

"Thank you."

After releasing Qin Miao’s hand, Wu Jing walked away, leaving behind murmurs from spectators: "Even at an airport, I get a mouthful of dog food..."

After Wu Jing left, Qin Miao turned his attention back to Qimeng beside him.

Originally, Qin Miao thought Qimeng would be upset for missing the chance to shake hands with Wu Jing, but instead, she looked at him with a cheerful smile.

Qimeng had no intention of teasing Qin Miao, only showing eyes full of satisfaction.

Qin Miao didn’t know why Qimeng was like this, but as long as she wasn’t angry, it was fine.

"Stop smiling, let’s quickly head to the hotel and leave our luggage." Qin Miao said, taking Qimeng’s hand and pulling their suitcase as they headed out.

...

After almost another hour of traveling, they finally reached the hotel near the Shanghai circuit from the airport.

Once they dropped off their luggage, they headed over to the Shanghai circuit.

Technically speaking, the Shanghai circuit now resembled more of a tourist attraction, mostly open to visitors unless it was a race day.

Today was such a day. After purchasing entry tickets, they followed instructions straight onto the track.

They proceeded to the paddock and Paddock area, where several teams were offering car rentals due to Open Day.

But today, there were only two kinds of cars available for rent—a Ford Focus and an F4.

Although "F4" might sound daunting, it’s essentially a large go-kart, with performance not matching Qin Miao’s 488 Pista.

In thinking about this, Qin Miao felt a bit melancholic, wondering when the system would finally send him his 488 Pista.

He really wanted to drive a supercar and take Qimeng for a ride.

Back to the point, experiencing the track on Open Day was quite simple.

If you had your car, you could just pay, go through brief training, and that’s it.

If not, it wasn’t an issue as you could rent a Ford Focus in the arena as long as you had a driver’s license and underwent some training.

However, renting an F4 was more complicated. Not only would you need a driver’s license, but also a racing license.

Fortunately, Qin Miao not only had a driver’s license but also a racing license from the system, enabling him to drive F2 cars, making an F4 no problem at all.

Besides the paid experiences, there were other fee-based services for those wishing to experience the G-force without driving themselves.

Visitors could select professional services from racing teams, such as riding with drivers to experience laps at high speeds.

The cost of riding a professional race car on track was substantially higher: 2000 RMB/hour for beginner, 3000 RMB/hour for intermediate, 4000 RMB/hour for advanced, all requiring a deposit of 20000 RMB per person.

The more you paid, the faster the car you rode.
