The Fake Young Master Just Want to Win Glory for the Country

Hearing Zhuang Jingchun's words, Xu Xizhou subconsciously glanced at his neck, and when his eyes touched the light red tooth marks, his handsome face immediately flushed red.

He thought that he probably drank too much champagne to feel so hot.

"I'm not a vampire, why bite you for no reason?"

Xu Xizhou turned around quickly, and hurriedly drank the Long Island iced tea on the bar counter as if to cover up something.

The cold wine dissipated a lot of the heat from his body.

Zhuang Jingchun buttoned her button up slowly and glanced at him.

"You don't attend the celebration banquet, what are you doing here?"

Xu Xizhou's hand holding the cup was a little stiff.Those thoughts that cannot be explained clearly seem to be exposed at this moment.

Xu Xizhou didn't like the feeling of being controlled by another person.He shook the ice cubes in the glass and shrugged nonchalantly.

"It's very lively here, I can't come and see it? Maybe there will be my fans inside."

Zhuang Jingchun smiled, and didn't expose his lame reason.

"Go back, maybe the team members are looking for us."

Friday, before qualifying.

As soon as Xu Xizhou came out of the training room, he ran into Blake who was skateboarding.

When the other party saw him, he stopped the skateboard immediately, flipped his foot, and pinched the skateboard in his hand.

Xu Xizhou was originally prepared to quarrel with him, but he didn't expect that Black's face was unexpectedly calm.

"In this game, I will definitely surpass you."

Trey's racing cars have always had a great advantage on the straights, and the Baku track is famous for its wide and long straights, which are easy to overtake.It is not without confidence that Black would speak like this.

"Then I'll wait and see."

Xu Xizhou didn't take his provocation to heart. In fact, if he didn't have a few words with Black before each game, he would feel a little uncomfortable.

Back in the lounge, Xu Xizhou was surprised to find that there were actually two reporters with Asian faces waiting at the door.

His first reaction was that his true identity had been exposed, and his eyes were a little wary.He put the towel on his head, turned around and wanted to leave, and one of the reporters wearing glasses hurriedly chased after him.

"Mr. Xu Xizhou, we are reporters from NX Sports News, can I have a brief interview with you?"

Sports news, it seems that it is not gossip paparazzi.

Xu Xizhou relaxed slightly, took off the towel from his head, put it on his shoulders, and turned around lazily.

"Quickly ask if you have any questions, I still have a qualifying match later."

"Mr. Xu, you won the championship in the last match in Morocco. I wonder if you have any expectations for this match?"

"I'll try my best, it's best to be on the podium."

The man with glasses smiled, and asked a few more questions about how he usually trains, and Xu Xizhou also answered them one by one.

"Last question, there are rumors that you can enter F2 because of funding from an investor in the Lightning team, and you have an unusual relationship with that investor, is that true?"

Xu Xizhou's face froze.

He never thought that there was such a big hole waiting for him. Obviously, no matter what he said, it would be misunderstood.

"Sorry, this is my private matter, so it's not convenient to answer."

The man in glasses was unyielding, his small eyes exuded a smug light, and he was bound to dig out some more explosive gossip.

"You didn't deny it, did you just acquiesce in your relationship with that investor? Do your adoptive parents know about these things? What do they think?"

"Where are you reporters from?"

Suddenly, a cold voice came from behind.Zhuang Jingchun looked unkind, and strode over.

"The time for pre-race interviews has long passed. You are here to harass a racing driver who is about to race, do you know what the consequences will be?"

The man with glasses looked at the man exuding coldness, subconsciously a little afraid.

"We'll just ask a few questions and leave right away.

"

Zhuang Jingchun stared into his eyes and snorted coldly.

"Take out your press credentials and have a look."

"Who are you, why do you want to see our press credentials?"

"I'm a member of the FIA's committee. Do you think I'm eligible to see your press card? Or do you want me to call security and leave you?"

Zhuang Jingchun had a deep and handsome mixed-race face, and was full of momentum. The man in glasses hesitated for a few seconds, and reluctantly took out his press card from his pocket.

Zhuang Jingchun opened it and took a look, the corner of her mouth curled up mockingly.

"Since when did Orange Daily care about sports news?"

The man with glasses felt a little guilty, "We have always reported everything, regardless of the subject matter."

Xu Xizhou leaned in front of Zhuang Jingchun and took a look. Suddenly, veins popped out on his forehead. He gritted his teeth and said, "Pretend to be a sports reporter and try to trick me? You couldn't get your pass through illegal means, right?"

As soon as these words came out, the man with glasses and his companion became anxious.

"No, we really have no other intentions, just want to make a report..."

"Give me the camera." Zhuang Jingchun said coldly.

The companion of the man with glasses hesitated for a while, and reluctantly handed him the camera.

With a cold face, Zhuang Jingchun pulled out the SD card from the camera and broke it in half.

"Don't let me see any reports about today on the domestic news, or my lawyer will happily send you a court summons."

Watching the two reporters walk away, Xu Xizhou rubbed his forehead with a headache.

"Did you compete in this state last year?" Zhuang Jingchun asked.

Xu Xizhou nodded and smiled wryly.

"This year was pretty good. After two races, I was blocked by reporters. In the second half of last year, I was surrounded by a bunch of reporters as soon as I left the track, both domestic and foreign."

Zhuang Jingchun frowned.Like others, he used to be self-righteous and felt that Xu Xizhou had a bad mentality last season, didn't seize the opportunity, and ruined his future.But only now did he realize how much pressure and trouble Xu Xizhou was carrying last year, and how difficult it was for him to persist in the game.

He rubbed the top of the boy's hair distressedly.

"Don't worry, I will tell the organizing committee to ask him to strengthen the security nearby."

Xu Xizhou hummed, suddenly thought of something, and looked up at him.

"Are you really that FIA committee member?"

"Of course not, I just made it up." Zhuang Jingchun blinked, and a hint of cunning flashed in her green eyes.

Xu Xizhou laughed and gave him a thumbs up.

"You are so good, you can play them around."

"They deserve it, let's go."

Qualifying has officially started.

Zhuang Jingchun watched Xu Xizhou get on the racing car. He was worried that the accident just now would affect his state. Unexpectedly, Xu Xizhou was in better state than ever.Straight to pole position.

Black was behind him, and when he saw that Xu Xizhou was [-] seconds faster than him, his face turned green with anger.

This is the first time for Xu Xizhou to start from pole position.He took off his helmet and was so excited that he saw Zhuang Jingchun standing in the crowd from a distance, and rushed over in three steps at a time.

He slammed into Zhuang Jingchun's arms like a small cannonball, and the rest of the team were celebrating. No matter how excited he was, the others thought it was normal.

"I didn't get pole position last year, this is the first time! Start from pole position!"

Xu Xizhou's eyes were shining with excitement and excitement, and his eyes were shining brightly.

Zhuang Jingchun also had a smile on her face, and lightly patted his shoulder with her palm.

"It seems that we still have to thank those two fake sports reporters."

Saturday, race day.

Unlike the last street race in Morocco, the track in Baku has a long and wide starting straight.And after the straight, there are several right-angle turns.After passing through the ancient city of Baku, the track will gradually become winding, which is quite a test for the drivers.

As the five red lights went out, the roar of the engine resounded through the sky, and all the racing cars rushed out like arrows off the string.

Xu Xizhou took the lead and passed the corner first, followed by Black, biting him firmly.He tried to overtake by sucking the wake several times, but Xu Xizhou deftly avoided it.

Coming to two consecutive right-angle bends, Xu Xizhou's adrenaline surged to the highest level.It is very important to choose a precise braking point in a corner, otherwise it is very likely to hit the wall due to a braking error.

Out of the bend, there is another straight.Black took advantage of the straight to catch up again.Xu Xizhou looked at the orange-red figure following him like a ghost in the rearview mirror, narrowed his eyes slightly, and stepped on the accelerator with all his might.

"Xu, the distance between Black and you is shortening. You have to get rid of him at the next corner."

In the wireless shop, the voice of the engineer was a bit worried.

Xu Xizhou's timing of entering the corner was always very precise. When Blake was tens of meters away from catching up with him, he braked quickly and skillfully cut into the most dangerous castle bay on the Baku circuit.

The distance here is extremely narrow, and it is almost impossible to overtake another car.

"shit!"

Staring at the silver-blue figure going away in front of him.Blake thumped the steering wheel hard and cursed.

After more than ten laps, the silver-blue car and the orange-red car were still chasing each other, and the focus of the audience was also on these two cars.Every time Black regained a little advantage on the straight, Xu Xizhou would counterattack and come back on the corner. Until the last lap, the two cars were still biting each other anxiously.

When passing the No.15 corner with full oil, Xu Xizhou obviously felt that the wear of the tires became serious.Maybe he was one-tenth of a second late into the corner and the tires would have locked up.

"Xu, the last paragraph must be steady!"

The finish line is close at hand, but this is also the hardest part.His speed has reached more than 300 kilometers per hour, and everything in his field of vision is retreating rapidly, but in the rearview mirror, the orange-red color is still conspicuous, like the sword of Damocles hanging above his head.

Xu Xizhou gritted his teeth, pushed the gear to the highest, and crossed the line at full speed.And Blake also turned on the DRS, and the orange-red color was like a roaring monster, rushing towards him with its teeth and claws.

All the spectators held their breath and looked nervously at the two racing cars that qualified at the same time.

The moment the black and white checkered flag was waved, Xu Xizhou's heart skipped a beat.The stuffy feeling overwhelmed him, and he heard the slightly regretful voice of the engineer.

"Xu, Black is [-] seconds faster than you. You are the runner-up, congratulations."

In fact, Xu Xizhou guessed the result the moment he crossed the line, he was not surprised.

"No.2 is also very good, thank you."

Parking the car back to the designated place, Xu Xizhou bumped into Black when weighing.

Although the opponent won the championship, there was a trace of doubt on his face.

"At the last moment, you hesitated, why?"

This is also the question Xu Xizhou wants to ask himself.He is used to dealing with all kinds of problems and setbacks, and he is used to counterattacking all the way to the top. However, when everything is going well, he is a little helpless and unable to go all out like Black.

"Didn't you always say that I have a bad mentality? Maybe it's a mentality problem."

Xu Xizhou shrugged, congratulated him, and turned back to room P.

Although Howard didn't get on the podium, he also got points, one point for each runner-up, enough to make the team manager laugh for a week.

"Boss is waiting for you in the lounge, go quickly."

After receiving the award and accepting the post-race interview, the team manager patted Xu Xizhou on the shoulder with a smile.

Strange, why didn't he see Zhuang Jingchun when he received the award just now?

With a hint of doubt, Xu Xizhou stepped into the door of the lounge.

Zhuang Jingchun stood by the window, half of her face was hidden in the shadow, her face was a little gloomy, she didn't know what she was thinking.

"what happened?"

Looking at his appearance, Xu Xizhou suddenly had a bad premonition.

"I received a call from your adoptive mother before, and she asked me to inform you that your grandfather... passed away."

Xu Xizhou was shocked, and after a while, he slowly put the helmet on the table.

Grandpa is old and has many underlying diseases. He has had surgery before and has not been recuperated. It's not that Xu Xizhou can't accept the result, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.

"When did this happen?"

"It's the afternoon, when you are playing."

Xu Xizhou's mind was in a mess, he wiped his hair vigorously, found out his cell phone, and called Xu Mei.

"Isn't grandpa's condition stable some time ago? Why did he suddenly—"

"A few days ago, he insisted on going to the yard to water orchids, saying that you liked them, but it just rained and the yard was a bit slippery. He accidentally fell and hit his head... When he was sent to the hospital, He's still saying your name."

Xu Xizhou listened to her words in silence, feeling his heart was like a crumpled piece of paper.

"When is the funeral?"

"In the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, at the city funeral home, I knew you had a competition, so I postponed the time for a day."

"Okay, I'll go."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Xizhou looked at the runner-up trophy in his hand, feeling a little dazed for a moment. When he left the Lu family, he promised his grandpa and grandma that he would bring the trophy back to see them, but before he came home, his grandpa had already left up.

He remembered how his grandparents loved him so much when he was a child.When grandpa was getting old, he even let himself ride on his head, playing with Transformers with him.

"I've bought the air ticket for you. Tomorrow's sprint race is over and we will fly directly to Wancheng."

Zhuang Jingchun came over and tapped his shoulder.

"Condolences."

Xu Xizhou hung his head and did not speak.After a long while, he raised his head, with a layer of tears floating in his black eyes.

"Can you give me a hug?"

Zhuang Jingchun bent down, opened her arms, and hugged him forcefully into her arms.

He hugged him so tightly, as if he wanted to rub Xu Xizhou into the marrow of his bones.

Xu Xizhou leaned on his shoulder, like a tired traveler who finally found a place to rest, and closed his eyes gently and reassuringly.

After the sprint race was over, Xu Xizhou and Zhuang Jingchun returned to China together.

Considering her embarrassing status, Zhuang Jingchun did not accompany Xu Xizhou to the funeral home, but waited for him in the garden.

Seeing Xu Xizhou appearing at the gate of the mourning hall, Xu Mei's eyes lit up and she immediately went up to him.

Xu Xizhou was dressed in a black suit, with black cloth on the back of his hands, and his figure was a little thinner.Xu Mei held his hand distressedly, and looked him up and down.

"Did you not eat well abroad? Why did you lose so much weight?"

Xu Xizhou smiled helplessly, "Racing drivers need to maintain their weight, and my figure is normal."

He briefly chatted with Xu Mei, and then went to pay homage to his grandfather.

Lu Feng was receiving guests who came to express their condolences. When he turned his head, he saw Xu Xizhou kneeling in front of the memorial tablet.

The guests also noticed his gaze, looked along the past, and immediately smiled appreciatively.

"Isn't this the little one from your family? He is really promising. I heard that he won the championship again, and many media at home and abroad have reported it."

Naturally, Lu Feng had seen those reports.Hearing the compliments from the guests at this moment, his expression was somewhat complicated.

"I heard before...he seems to have moved out of your house? Lao Lu, are you stupid! Let go of such an excellent child?"

Lu Feng smiled awkwardly.

"There is no such thing, he is playing abroad and cannot go home often."

Looking at Xu Xizhou who was politely greeting the guests, Lu Feng really regretted it.

These days, before his death, his father kept whispering in his ear, asking him to take Xu Xizhou home, but Xu Mei couldn't help wiping away tears, blaming him for not speaking so harshly back then.

He still insisted on it, but in fact, he wanted to compromise a long time ago.

Compared with Xu Xizhou, Lu Rong is indeed well-behaved and polite, but that child's personality is too introverted, no matter how good he is, it is only in his studies, and there is still a long way to go before taking over the company.

But Xu Xizhou was different. This kid put away his perverse and unruly personality, and now has a much calmer personality. He shined again on the international race track and became a well-known racing driver in Huaguo.

It has to be said that these have greatly satisfied his self-esteem.

If you take this opportunity to bring Xu Xizhou back, it's not impossible...

As soon as Xu Xizhou left the mourning hall, he received a text message from Shu Yue.

The last time we met in London, before leaving, he left her his phone number. These days, Shu Yue would also send text messages from time to time to check on his life and remind him to remember to add more clothes to keep warm.Although he cared, he kept it within a reasonable range and would not make him feel uncomfortable.

——Xiaozhou, I heard that your adoptive mother's father passed away, I'm sorry.I'm also in Wancheng these days, if you don't go back to Lu's house, do you want to live with your mother?

——No, I agreed to my adoptive mother, and I will stay at Lu's house these few days to accompany my grandma.

——Okay, then I won’t force it. If you feel uncomfortable, you must not hold it in your heart, you must vent it, okay?

--Ok, I know.

Xu Xizhou knew that Shu Yue had good intentions.But at this juncture, he can only temporarily put aside the unhappiness with Lu Feng before, and calm down his grandma.

That night, he stayed at Lu's house.During the period, Lu Rong came over to comfort him, and congratulated him on winning the runner-up in the Baku race.

The next morning, Xu Xizhou went downstairs to have breakfast, and was surprised to find that Lu Feng didn't go to the company, but was sitting at the dining table reading the newspaper.

Xu Xizhou guessed that he would not be very happy to see him, so he took two pieces of toast and put them on a plate, and was about to go back to his room to eat, but was stopped by Lu Feng.

Lu Feng closed the newspaper in his hand and coughed.

"Just eat here."

Xu Xizhou wasn't sure what he meant, he hurriedly finished his breakfast, and was about to go upstairs when Lu Feng stopped him again.

"Come with me to the study."

Seeing Xu Mei's encouraging and admiring eyes, Xu Xizhou seemed to understand something.

Xu Xizhou followed Lu Feng into the study.Lu Feng stood in front of the window, lit a cigarette, but didn't smoke. With his back to Xu Xizhou, he seemed to be considering his words, and he spoke for a long time.

"I heard you won the championship, congratulations."

"Fortunately, the team is also credited." Xu Xizhou looked indifferent.

"At Xiao Rong's coming-of-age ceremony, the words I said—"

Before he finished speaking, the phone rang suddenly.When he saw the call, he seemed a little surprised, and he couldn't believe it.

Quickly and respectfully picked up.

"Mr. Ren, why did you come to Wancheng?...I have been dealing with my father-in-law these two days...What, you came to my house?"

Now Lu Feng's expression was flattered.This is a person who has great influence in city B. He only met once in a business forum before and said a few words.Unexpectedly, such a big man would visit the door in person and come to mourn his father-in-law.

It's important to make friends with Mr. Ren, he can only put Xu Xizhou's affairs aside for the time being.

After hanging up the phone, he turned to Xu Xizhou.

"Come on with me. Chairman Ren of City B is here. You just want to get to know him. If you don't drive a racing car someday, there will be more ways to go."

Xu Xizhou's mind went blank for a few seconds.

The chairman of City B... Isn't that his own grandfather?

So, not only Shu Yue is here, but Grandpa also came to Wancheng?
