Quick Transmigration: The Green Tea Mistress's Guide to Seduction - A Master's Handbook

After three more laps, both cars stopped at the finish line at the same time.

Xie Qingyu, who was on the inside, got out of the car first. After taking off her helmet, she casually brushed her stray hairs behind her ears, held the helmet, stopped at Zhou Shenye's car window, and bent down to knock twice.

The car window slowly rolled down.

Xie Qingyu's radiant smile affirmed her, and her bright smile warmed people's hearts even at night.

Xie Qingyu's expression showed surprise only after she clearly saw Zhou Shenye's face, but she quickly recovered.

"Your technique is excellent." Xie Qingyu expressed her approval regardless of who was in front of her.

"Your skills are very good too," Zhou Shenye said. "Have you studied before?"

Zhou Shenye subtly probed for information. If he remembered correctly, Xie Qingyu hadn't mentioned in the investigation report that she could race cars during her time in the countryside.

"It was just for fun," Xie Qingyu said generously. "I didn't know you were such a good race car driver; Zhou He never mentioned it."

When Zhou Shenye heard Zhou He's name from Xie Qingyu, his heart skipped a beat, but his expression didn't change much. He still maintained his feigned friendly demeanor. "I don't travel much in China, so it's normal that he doesn't know me."

"But you..." Zhou Shenye steered the conversation back to Xie Qingyu, "Why are you playing here alone?"

Xie Qingyu didn't answer, but looked down at the ground, the brightness in her eyes fading, leaving some melancholy. "I was in a bad mood, so I went for a run."

Xie Qingyu probably didn't want to talk about it, and she spoke very quickly, clearly not wanting anyone to ask for the reason.

Zhou Shenye was quick to respond, "So how are you feeling now?"

"What?" Xie Qingyu looked up abruptly, as if she hadn't heard clearly.

"Are you feeling better now? If not, I'll run two more laps with you?" Zhou Shenye's cold face was full of seriousness.

This way of asking the question made Xie Qingyu laugh. "It's fine now."

"You seemed fine when you got out of the car. I guess I asked you something inappropriate that reminded you of something sad," Zhou Shenye continued. "To make amends, I wonder if I could treat you to a meal?"

"This..." Xie Qingyu glanced behind her, seemingly wanting to refuse.

"If you're worried, call Zhou He along," Zhou Shenye said with a gentlemanly smile.

His words made it seem as if Xie Qingyu was being overly defensive.

"Then I'll trouble you to spend the money."

"Not at all, let's go." Zhou Shenye got out of the car and took the helmet from Xie Qingyu's hand, his palm seemingly unintentionally touching Xie Qingyu's hand.

After handing the helmet to the staff, the driver and Assistant Feng arrived in their car.

Xie Qingyu and Zhou Shenye got into the back seat of the car.

The driver and Assistant Feng were in the front row.

The central baffle had already been raised.

The back seat was spacious, but in this atmosphere, it seemed a little inappropriate for just the two of them to be in the back seat. Fortunately, Zhou Shenye's presence made it less cramped.

"How was your last visit to the music hall, Miss Xie? I heard from the manager that you left before it was over. Was there something you didn't like?" Zhou Shenye chose a topic that Xie Qingyu could answer.

"No, it's just that some friends came over, and the environment wasn't really suitable for a large group," Xie Qingyu said.

Xie Qingyu's words easily reminded Zhou Shenye that Xie Qingyu had gone with Zhou He, and that Qin Dan had gone with her when they left.

This means that she originally wanted to be alone with Zhou He, but because someone came, she changed locations...

The smile that Zhou Shenye had been wearing since seeing Xie Qingyu finally disappeared.

After Xie Qingyu finished speaking, she noticed that he hadn't replied for a long time, so she looked at him.

When he noticed Xie Qingyu's gaze, Zhou Shenye also looked over. The man, whose smile had faded, was calm and composed, and his deep eyes seemed to draw people in, especially when he looked at you intently.

Even someone like Xie Qingyu couldn't help but touch her face under his gaze. "Is there something on my face?"

"If you're talking about beauty... then that's certainly true." Having spent a long time abroad, Zhou Shenye's words sounded straightforward and sincere, like a romantic statement of fact.

"You have good taste to see my beauty," Xie Qingyu couldn't help but laugh.

Zhou Shenye's eyes seemed to be full of focus, but his hand directly took Xie Qingyu's left hand to his lips, and then, under Xie Qingyu's gaze, he placed a kiss on her hand, "It's my honor."

Xie Qingyu's smile froze, and she hurriedly withdrew her hand.

"Sorry, I've gotten used to it abroad." Zhou Shenye apologized before Xie Qingyu could speak, his light-colored eyes also showing some apology.

Seeing his expression, Xie Qingyu remained calm. "Forgive me for being from the countryside; I didn't know things were like this abroad. Is this a personal gift?"

Zhou Shenye's gaze remained fixed on Xie Qingyu's face, his expression neither blushing nor skipping a beat. "It counts as one."

Xie Qingyu's eyes darted around as if in thought, then, under Zhou Shenye's gaze, she took his hand and touched it to her lips, "Here you go."

Zhou Shenye watched Xie Qingyu's movements, his body seemingly nailed to the spot, only his hand, which Xie Qingyu was holding, remained conscious.

The heat that was so intense it seemed to linger on the back of the hand.

Zhou Shenye's actions were impulsive, and he himself felt that the excuse of having stayed abroad for a long time was somewhat absurd.

He had never shown such courtesy to anyone, anywhere.

Xie Qingyu's actions were even more unexpected to him.

Compared to the feeling of skin against skin, Xie Qingyu's initiative in touching him seemed to excite him even more.

Xie Qingyu probably didn't realize that her behavior had aroused Zhou Shenye's thoughts; she just felt that her manners were adequate.

Completely unaware that Zhou Shenye's gaze was deepening as he stared at her, a certain thought arose within him in that instant.

For the first time, Zhou Shenye felt that he had wasted the past twenty-nine years of his life.

He forced himself to look away from Xie Qingyu's face, almost as if in self-torture, and looked out the window.

However, Xie Qingyu spoke up at this moment, "Are there any other cheek-kissing customs abroad?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shenye immediately turned his head to look over.

"There are quite a few customs abroad. When you meet people abroad, do you kiss their hands or cheeks?" Xie Qingyu asked.

Xie Qingyu's gaze was very serious, which put Zhou Shenye in a difficult position.

Answering yes or no seems inappropriate.

"When I meet clients abroad, I don't usually need to use this kind of etiquette. I only express myself this way when I'm with close friends and family," Zhou Shenye said after thinking for a moment, giving a fairly appropriate answer.

Of course, what he didn't say was that he had no close friends or family.
