Xu Xizhou turned his face sideways and looked at Blake whose head was tilted to one side. The boy's eyelashes were half-closed, as if he heard Edward's voice, his eyelids moved and slowly opened.

"Xu, I have a question for you."

He moved closer to Xu Xizhou, looking at him with bewildered eyes.

"If, I mean, if your grades plummet and you can't drive an F1 car again, do you think Jonathan would still like you?"

Hearing his question, Xu Xizhou was slightly taken aback.

After his rebirth, although he has experienced numerous setbacks in his life, at least on the track, his performance has steadily improved. Not to mention, he also unexpectedly counterattacked Edward in the last race and won the F2 championship.

He knew that Zhuang Jingchun would like him, partly because of the blessing of the racer's halo on him. They have the same love, and every time he wins the championship, he can feel the joy and happiness from the heart of Zhuang Jingchun. And these positive emotions will inspire him to continue to surpass in the next game.

If one day, his grades plummeted and he could no longer drive F-1, would Zhuang Jingchun still like him? He couldn't answer this question himself.

Because he couldn't imagine what he would be like at that time, I'm afraid, even he himself couldn't accept it.

"I can't answer your question, Blake. But I'll try not to let myself have that day."

Hearing Xu Xizhou's answer, Blake twitched the corner of his mouth, tilted his head, and fell on his shoulder.

After sending Blake back to the hotel, Xu Xizhou went back to the dormitory of the base. As soon as he walked to the gate, he saw Carl, the team manager, standing there.

The Italian looked serious, the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed, and he looked at him with some headache.

"Xu, the test is going to start tomorrow afternoon. It seems that you came back a little too late?"

He wrinkled his nose, smelled the wine on Xu Xizhou's body again, and frowned deeply.

"You went out drinking with Edward and the others?"

Did not expect McLaren to control them so strictly. It's so different from when was in F2.

Xu Xizhou took a step back with a guilty conscience, "I didn't drink much, I didn't even get a cup, it was Blake who drank too much. I took him back to the hotel, and he smelled of alcohol."

"It's better. Xu, you just joined McLaren. It's best not to do anything out of the ordinary, so as not to make headlines tomorrow and cause headaches to the executives. No matter which team, they prefer good kids, you know?"

Xu Xizhou looked at Carl's extremely serious eyes, and felt a little nervous in his heart.

"I see, I'll be back sooner next time."

Back in the dormitory, Xu Xizhou was still a little scared when he thought of Carl's eyes just now. The first impression this Italian gave him was warm and cheerful, but after getting to know him, he realized that Carl also had a ruthless side. Once he challenged his bottom line, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The next day, Xu Xizhou got up early in the morning to do physical training. It was probably the test in the afternoon. He was so nervous that he didn't eat much at noon.

Teammate Charles went to the track first, and Xu Xizhou sat in front of the technical stage, watching the data analysis uploaded by the car. Charles deserves to be the world champion, and Xu Xizhou was dazzled by his actions on the track.

Even at high speed, Charles is constantly debugging the parameters of the car to make the values ​​reach the most balanced state. This is almost unimaginable for young racers.

"Charles is an old hand, you need to learn more from him. Don't just bury yourself in the study." Carl reminded him on the side.

Xu Xizhou nodded while recording in his notebook.

Soon, it was Xu Xizhou's turn to start the test.

Before putting on the helmet, Xu Xizhou took a deep breath. There were still many chaotic thoughts in his mind. When the car was on the track, he couldn't think about anything. He stepped on the clutch, started to shift gears, and accelerated.

The scenery on both sides of the track began to recede rapidly. He heard the roar of the engine, the dashboard turned rapidly, the adrenaline was at its highest, and his heart seemed to be racing with the car.

After the test was over, Xu Xizhou immediately returned to the technical platform to see his various data.

The results were similar to what he expected, he ran the fastest lap in person, but compared with Charles, he was more than 0.5 seconds behind on average per lap.

"Recognize the gap and find a way to make it up." Carl comforted him from the side.

"I don't know how you were in F2 before, the Bahrain opener is only two weeks away, you can have one day off, but the other time you have to focus on training. Is it acceptable?"

Xu Xizhou nodded.

Walking on the empty track, Xu Xizhou suddenly missed Zhuang Jingchun. He took out his mobile phone and glanced at it, only to realize that it was Friday. Before he knew it, he and Zhuang Jingchun had not seen each other for half a month.

He turned to the address book and was about to call Zhuang Jingchun when the screen suddenly lit up.

It was Zhuang Jingchun who called.

"You haven't finished the test yet?" Zhuang Jingchun's voice was a little unstable, as if she had just gone through a lot of running.

"Just finished eating and going back. What are you doing?"

"I'm downstairs in your dormitory."

Xu Xizhou was stunned for a moment, clenched his phone tightly, and ran wildly on the track.

Chapter 081 Sweetness

Xu Xizhou drove the car and returned to the base swiftly.

After getting out of the car, before he reached the downstairs of the dormitory, he saw a tall figure waiting under the tree from a distance.

The corner of Xu Xizhou's mouth couldn't help but lift up, he lightly walked, slowly approached Zhuang Jingchun from behind, and when the man was not prepared, he opened his arms and picked him up from behind.

Zhuang Jingchun was picked up by him and turned around twice, a little dizzy, he held his forehead with a helpless expression on his face.

"Why are you like a child?"

Xu Xizhou put him down and looked up at him a little, his eyes were shining, but his tone was a little sullen.
