After the technical meeting with the engineer, Xu Xizhou entered the lounge alone. After doing some stretching exercises, he glanced at the mobile phone on the table from the corner of his eye, and suddenly had the urge to call Zhuang Jingchun.

The two seemed to be sensing something. Suddenly, the mobile phone on the table rang. With a smile on his face, he hurriedly walked over. It was indeed a call from Zhuang Jingchun.

"It's just a pre-match test, just do your best and don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"I will rest tomorrow and will go to the team to see."

Xu Xizhou didn't speak, just listened to the man's voice quietly. At this moment, he suddenly felt very satisfied, at least he was not alone here, someone was watching him and supporting him.

"What, are you so nervous that you can't speak?"

"No, I was just thinking... Lu Rong paid the bill last time, and I seem to owe you a meal."

"As long as you know."

Xu Xizhou smiled, and after talking to Zhuang Jingchun, the things that were heavy in his heart seemed to be much lighter.

Out of the lounge, the pre-match interview also began. Xu Xizhou didn't want to be in the camera, and always avoided the reporter's camera. After finally finding a secluded place, just sitting down, a sarcastic voice suddenly came from behind, speaking fluent English.

"Coward, how dare you go back to F2?"

Chapter 019 Look at me

As soon as Xu Xizhou turned his head, he saw his former teammate in the Trey team, Blake.

When he first joined the Trey team, Blake was still his little brother, and after he got on the podium, he was full of admiration for him. But later, when he learned that he was not the son of the Lu family, his mentality collapsed and his state declined. Blake tried to persuade him several times to no avail. In the end, he was so angry that he turned against him and scolded him that staying in F2 was a waste of the team's seat. It's better to go back to China as soon as possible.

At this moment, seeing a red-haired boy with a grumpy face, Xu Xizhou felt a little nostalgic.

"Are you coming to test today?" Xu Xizhou said mildly.

Blake stared at him warily. Probably due to his delusion, Xu Xizhou, who has returned to the arena, doesn't seem to be the same as before. Before that, the teenager always looked gloomy and depressed, even when he was driving, he was absent-minded, and he ran off the track several times. But Xu Xizhou, who was standing in front of him now, had bright and determined eyes, as if the whole person had been reborn from Nirvana.

"Blake, the interview is about to start, why are you still here?" The team manager of the Trey team came over. When he saw Xu Xizhou, he remembered the previous festival between the two, and immediately glared at Black.

"Don't make trouble everywhere. If you are photographed, I will see what you will do."

After warning Black, he extended his hand to Xu Xizhou with a slight smile.

"Xu, welcome back to F2."

Looking at his former club, Xu Xizhou felt a little emotional. In any case, he betrayed their trust.

"Ellen, I'm sorry about last season."

"It's all over, you can just adjust yourself." Allen patted him on the shoulder, "I hope your next game goes well!"

"thanks!"

Watching Allen take away the reluctant Blake, Xu Xizhou smiled and turned back to the paddock.

The team manager was looking for him everywhere, and he was relieved to see him back.

"Howard has already started the test. Get ready and get in the car in ten minutes."

The rainy Silverstone circuit had a rare sunny day today. Xu Xizhou sat in a chair and watched the engineer make the final adjustments to the new car.

Lightning's racing livery is the same as its team name, a smooth silver shape with a blue lightning logo printed on it, which is very eye-catching. As soon as Xu Xizhou sat up, he felt that his whole body was wrapped in the driver's seat, and he felt an unprecedented sense of excitement and tension.

The engineer handed him the steering wheel, tapped him on the shoulder, and gave him a cheer gesture.

Meter check, radio check.

After confirming that everything was normal, Xu Xizhou slowly started the car and drove into the track.

The wind whistled, the engine roared, and the car under him was like a monster galloping on the track. When he entered the test lap, he was excited, excited, nervous, and stressed. Everything was left behind by Xu Xizhou. There is only one thought left in my mind, fast, fast.

The long straight is followed by a sharp right turn. Xu Xizhou braked and downshifted completely intuitively. When entering the corner, the huge centrifugal force pulled his body, and his neck was as heavy as a boulder.

Refueling, braking, looking for an angle to cut back to the straight, the car rushed out like an arrow off the string again.

The engineer's voice came over the radio.

"Xu, well done, your fastest lap is only 0.03 seconds slower than Howard."

"Blake also finished the test, his fastest lap was 0.07 seconds behind you, and you are now second."

That kid will probably be half-dead with rage. Xu Xizhou hooked the corner of his mouth, drove back to the P room, and took off his gloves, only to realize that his hands were sweaty.

After the test match, it is time for free practice. Xu Xizhou drove dozens of laps in the new lightning car, during which time he kept giving feedback to the engineer on the performance of the vehicle. At the end of the day, he was exhausted both physically and mentally, and as soon as he returned to the hotel, he fell on the bed and fell asleep.

The next day is a weekend, a day off. Howard's parents brought Howard's sister to see him. They lived next door and were noisy and lively.

"Are you really not going to London with us?"

Xu Xizhou politely rejected Howard's kindness.

"I have some personal matters to deal with, let's talk about it next time."

He was lying on the window of the hotel, watching the Howard family get into the RV chatting and laughing. When the car drove away, his eyes stayed where he was until the doorbell woke him up.

He suddenly remembered that Zhuang Jingchun said yesterday that he would come, and hurriedly jumped off the bay window to open the door.

The door opened, and a handsome man in a dark blue coat stood at the door with a paper bag in his hand.
