Translator: Dragon Boat Translation | Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
He had been racing for so many years. Although he had participated in competitions before, they were mostly small competitions organized by private organizations nationaly
It was his first time participating in an international competition.
Moreover, this competition was said to be broadcast live worldwide.
In other words, everyone in the world could see their son.
How could Li Xu and Zhang Kun not be excited?
in the middle of July, Ji Zi’ang packed his things and left the country with his
car to begin his two-week training.
The venue of the competition was Country F, which was six hours away from China.
The competition time was nine o’clock in the evening in Country F, which meant that it was three o’clock in the morning in China.
After discussing it, everyone decided to set the venue to watch the competition at the Qin family’s old residence to avoid disturbing the neighbors.
The old mansion was an independent villa area with a special underground movie room. It would not affect the neighbors, and the experience of watching the game would be greatly improved.
Of course, only after Cheng Shuqin’s enthusiastic invitation did Li Xu and the others decide to go.
Cheng Shuqin had invited many people. Li Xu’s family and Huang Weiwei, Li
Miao and Gong Wenbai, Yang Jingyi and Fang Xinyi.
A group of people came over at eight o’clock in the evening.
Cheng Shuqin arranged a guest room for them, “Everyone, sleep for a while.
We’ll gather on the first floor at 2:50.”
Qin Junshan also wanted to participate. He was eager to try.
“It’s late at night, so you don’t have to participate. You can sleep on the second
floor. It shouldn’t disturb you.” Cheng Shuqin said.
Qin Junshan’s face fell, “Why can’t I participate?
■■Your heart can’t take such stimulation. Sleep well. You’ll know the result when you wake up tomorrow.” Cheng Shuqin coaxed him like coaxing a child.
Then, he instructed Qin Mucheng and Ji Zixuan, “Mucheng, Zixuan, the two of you take Grandpa to the second floor.”
Qin Junshan was angry, but he could only listen.
He could only use words to express his little rebellion, ‘Til walk by myself. I
don’t need them to take me.”
Qin Mucheng immediately carried Qin Junshan upstairs.
Ji Zixuan also rushed forward and protected Qin Junshan from behind.
As for Li Miao and Gong Wenbai’s son, Mumu, he slept with Aunt Wu and Xiao
Qi at night.
At 2:50 a.m„ everyone arrived at the underground recording room with sleepy
eyes.
Qin Mucheng projected the image onto the huge curtain wall before sitting down beside Ji Yuanyuan.
Aunt Wu and Xiao Qi prepared drinks, snacks, and fruits for them before they went to bed.
Qin Mucheng took a winter jujube and fed it to Ji Yuanyuan. He whispered into her ear, “Did Zi’ang call last night?”
Ji Yuanyuan shook her head and whispered, “No, he hasn’t.”
Qin Mucheng was about to say something when Yang Jingyi suddenly gasped,
“Is that Brother Zi’ang? Is he the red one?”
She turned to Ji Yuanyuan and asked.
The Driver’s face was obscured from view.
However, Ji Yuanyuan took a closer look at the car on the screen and nodded,
“It’s him.”
The red racing car was quite eye-catching among the racing cars.
“So handsome!” Yang Jingyi rubbed her fists.
Ji Zi’ang was at the back of the line. All the cars rushed out in the initial formation when the flag was lowered.
The cheers of the audience, the voices of the commentators, and the roar of the motor filled the entire recording room.
One bend after another, Li Xu, Cheng Shuqin, and the other middle-aged men watched with their hearts in their throats.
Ji Zi’ang was constantly in the middle-back position.
All the cars were like shooting stars as they streaked across the track.
Ji Zi’ang passed every turn without any mishaps.
Li Xu held Zhang Kun’s hand tightly.
“This was his first time participating in an international competition. He must
be very nervous now, right?”
The racing time was usually between one to two hours.
More than an hour had passed, and Ji Zi’ang’s position had moved forward. From the original middle-back position, he had moved to the middle-front.
Qin Haowen liked cars and had some knowledge about racing.
He explained, “It’s Zi’ang’s first year participating in the competition. He’s considered a newcomer. He’s not that familiar with the track and the rules. It’s already awe-inspiring for him to be in this position.
Ji Zi’ang was not considered a rookie at his age, but he was definitely experienced.
However, between the ages of twenty-three and thirty was the golden age for racers.
Ji Zi’ang was just in time. His era had just begun.
“It doesn’t matter if he’s powerful or not,” Li Xu muttered. “It’s fine as long as
he goes home safely.”
Almost as soon as Li Xu finished speaking, the wheel of the black sports car behind Ji Zi’ang suddenly fell off.
The black racing car lost control and crashed into the guardrail next to it. The racing car rubbed against the guardrail, and sparks flew, causing the racing car to topple over.
Ji Zi’ang’s car was hit by the falling wheels of the car behind him. He lost control and was about to crash into the guardrail by the roadside.
When Li Xu saw this scene, she immediately stood up from the sofa excitedly.
Ji Yuanyuan was so nervous that she dared not even breathe loudly. Her eyes were fixed on the wall.
The movie room was huge and underground, so the sound seemed to ring around his ears.
Ji Yuanyuan felt as if her heart had stopped beating for a few seconds. Fortunately, he drifted and changed his route when he was about to hit the guardrail.
Soon, he returned to the track without any danger.
Only then did Ji Yuanyuan regain her breathing. She slumped on the sofa and breathed heavily.
As expected, racing was not something that ordinary people could play with.
Li Xu also relaxed. She sat back on the sofa and patted her chest as she smiled bitterly, “Otherwise, 1 wouldn’t want to watch him compete. If my heart is a little weaker…”
“This is the first time he’s participating in a large-scale competition. We won’t watch it anymore in the future…” Zhang Kun patted her back.
■’Wow, Brother Zi’ang has accelerated…” Yang Jingyi suddenly screamed.
Ji Yuanyuan looked up and saw Ji Zi’ang speeding up.
He was already in the front row, and three other racing cars were in front of him.
The people in front were all experienced veterans. It could be seen that Ji Zi’ang had tried to overtake them several times but failed.
Seeing they were not far from the finish line, Ji Yuanyuan’s heart was again in her throat.
If he had been a little faster, he could have gotten on the podium.
Although the difference between third and fourth place was only one rank, the meaning behind it was completely different.
As they got closer and closer to the finish line, Ji Yuanyuan’s heart became more and more nervous.
She silently prayed, “Please let Ji Zi’ang get on the podium, even if I had to share some of my luck with him.
Ji Yuanyuan’s prayers were probably effective. At the final sprint, Ji Zi’ang’s car sped up again.
Sparks flew from the rear of the racing car. He successfully surpassed the original third place and almost reached the finish line with the second place..
