On a rainy night at a go-kart track, Xu Nian nearly crashed into a wall before Ji Mingze, her childhood friend whom she hadn’t seen in three years, cut her off with his car. His first words were, “You’re getting on the throttle too early through the turn.”
He became the technical consultant for her new show, and the whole crew watched his reactions. When the entire internet accused her of climbing the ladder by relying on a man, he posted the training data: “The lap times are right there. If you disagree, watch the replay.” Then he posted seven words from his main Weibo account: “My sister’s been taking cars apart since childhood.” Fans went wild shipping them, so he added, “I haven’t agreed. Stop calling me bro.”
Later, she held up a sign on a global livestream: “Ji Mingze, you drive better than I do.” He crossed the finish line, vaulted the barrier, and pressed his forehead to hers. “What am I to you?” That night, he reposted her Weibo with just two words: “Mine.” Then he added, “What’s hers is mine too.”
