Unexpectedly, the cold wind rushed past his ears, and Jiang Chengsi was momentarily breathless from her collision.
He only felt his heart pounding fiercely twice, his brain a temporary blank.
The force with which she charged at him was strong; if he hadn't steadied himself in time, he might have been knocked over. His body stiffened, and he found himself somewhat at a loss.
Perhaps due to excessive tension, her body was warm, leaning entirely against him, her breath falling beside his neck.
Rushed, burning...
The hands encircling his neck pressed against the back of his neck, heating him until he tingled all over.
"I actually won, I've never competed against a professional before, I've always been so nervous, I..." Her eyes were bright, still talking about how nervous she had been just now.
"You don't know, when I was overtaken by him, I didn't even know what to do."
"But surely there's still a gap between me and professional drivers. I guess this win has an element of luck."
