Chapter 22: The Empty Arena

At the end of October, Zhuhai still has a temperature that is the envy of northerners, and the fiery red sun here does not seem to be affected by the arrival of autumn, and still scorching the earth unscrupulously. Looking up, the black asphalt track of the Zhuhai International Circuit seemed to have been roasted red, and the slightest hint of white gas would come out when the slightest bit of water was poured, and the air near the road could not withstand such high temperatures and became a little distorted......

Without the roaring sound of the motor that shook the audience, the current Zhu track was a little silent, only sporadic sounds came from afar. A car race had just been completed here, and the already small crowd of spectators had now poured into the open space next to the podium, where the award ceremony was being held, so the stands looked a little empty now. And the only sound in the arena now comes from there. But now a lonely figure is slowly walking from the track, and then sitting in the stands, just quietly looking into the distance......

Gu Lin should actually attend the medal ceremony with the rest of the Feilong team now, and the team's number one driver, Zhan Yunfei, who finished third in this race, will also appear on the podium. However, Gu Lin was not in such a mood today, she excused herself to be unwell, walked here alone, sat quietly, and slowly recalled the game just now......

In fact, Gu Lin has been in very good form recently, and after the training and competition in Beijing, she feels that her own condition and car condition have been adjusted to the peak. Almost from the warm-up lap of the practice session, Gu Lin led all the way and successfully won the starting position for the team, while Zhan Yunfei won the third place on the grid, everything seemed to be very favorable to the Feilong team......

The countdown is over, and the exciting game has officially begun! The No. 54 car driven by Gu Lin was the first to break out of the starting line and led all the way. From the start to the race, Gu Lin's performance was almost perfect.

In fact, after that time with the mysterious Yestar professor, Gu Lin's understanding and comprehension of the competition have been enhanced a lot. So in today's game, she didn't leave anyone else with any chance at all. So halfway through the race, there seemed to be no one who could stop Gu Lin from winning the first race of her driver's career......

But the truth is sometimes so cruel, when Gu Lin was concentrating on completing the last few laps of the race, the sound of team leader Feng Jian asking her to slow down and give way to the car came from the radio in the car. It turned out that Zhan Yunfei, who started the third car, had already surpassed the player who started the second car, and now he was following behind Gu Lin.

Regarding the team's almost "unreasonable" request, Gu Lin immediately expressed her protest. However, Feng Jian insisted that Gu Lin implement the overall arrangement of the team. After all, Zhan Yunfei is still very likely to win the drivers' championship, and he urgently needs points for this stop! Even if Zhan Yunfei is the runner-up of the drivers, it is also the best result of Feilong in recent years. In order to take care of the overall situation, Gu Lin, the No. 2 driver of the team, must make sacrifices! Gu Lin, who was extremely disappointed, could only silently accept this unreasonable request, and also tasted the bitterness of being the No. 2 driver for the first time......

However, racing is a sport that is all about moments. When Zhan Yunfei was overtaking Gu Lin in the back, I don't know if it was Gu Lin's psychological depression that caused him to wander, or because Zhan Yunfei was too relaxed when he overtook his teammates and didn't jam the overtaking line. So just when the two cars of the Wyvern team were just in parallel, a car suddenly came out from the left side of the back, and forced a force to pass from the left side of the two, followed by a second car......

It is easy to be overtaken, but it is difficult to overtake back, although Zhan Yunfei reacted quickly and decisively blocked the rest of the opponents who wanted to overtake. But in this way, he only fell to the third position, and Gu Lin, who was stuck in the inner road, was the most unlucky, and she was continuously surpassed by others, and she only finished sixth......

Thinking of this, Gu Lin couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Although she is a girl, although she is only a No. 2 driver, she Gu Lin wants to win, she really wants to win!

……

"Drink!" Just as Gu Lin lowered her head and pondered, a familiar and cold male voice sounded in her ears. At the same time, a hand holding a bottle of drink appeared in front of him.

Gu Lin looked up in a daze, and a cool man was standing next to her in front of her. Although the weather was unusually hot, there was no sweat in the man's handsome and pale face, and a cold chill could be felt in those clear eyes, so cold that it couldn't melt in such heat. The man's other hand was hanging from his chest in a thick plaster cast, and a small bandage was also attached to his forehead......

"Brother! How did you end up here? Your injuries haven't healed yet, and you should be in the hospital now! Does Dad agree with you running so far? ”

Gu Lin, who saw the person who came clearly, couldn't care about his frustration just now, stood up, and said in surprise and concern. The person who came was Gu Lin's only brother Gu Qing, the Gu Qing who was called the King of Southwest Che.

"I'm fine, I said I wanted to watch your game, so I must come!" Gu Qing still said coldly, but what appeared in his eyes was a faint care, what he loved the most was this sister, and his sister had always loved to stick to him the most.

"Oh! Brother, I'm so happy you can come! But let's call Dad first! Or let him die of worry! Gu Lin said cautiously as she took out her mobile phone.

As soon as she heard her brother's tone, Gu Lin knew that Gu Qing must not have told her father the news of coming to Zhuhai. Since Gu Qing became an underground driver, Gu Lin's father has always been at odds with Gu Qing, and Gu Qing's injury and the accident that occurred some time ago made her father almost angry to death......

"That's it! Linlin! It's not like you don't know my relationship with the old man? Anyway, my driver's license has been detained, and he doesn't care where I go! Don't talk about him! I ask you, why did you give up the car to that idiot in the race just now? Gu Qing pushed Gu Lin's hand away, and then said with a serious face.

"Ah...... Brother, he's not an idiot anymore, it's my teammate Zhan Yunfei. Just now...... It was a mistake just now! Looking at his brother's expression, Gu Lin knew that the scene just now couldn't escape his brother's eyes at all, and Gu Lin knew that Gu Qing had always been most annoyed by this kind of cattiness. Thinking that she had disappointed her brother, Gu Lin's heart began to feel uncomfortable again.

"That's it! Girl! Don't cry and mourn! I'm not trying to scold you! I also understand those things about the team! Either you don't let this kind of thing happen, and if you want to let it, don't have any psychological burden! Don't regret the past! Wrong is wrong, right is right, free and easy, understand? Seeing that his sister lowered her head, Gu Qing stuffed the iced drink in her hand into Gu Lin's hand, and then said, her tone was no longer as serious as just now, but more concerned and gentle.

"Yes! Brother, I see! Hearing her brother's comfort, Gu Lin felt a lot better, but tears couldn't help but flow.

……

"That's right, brother! You said that your driver's license was detained, was it Zheng Xiao? What happened to the last time? After all, it's ...... dead people" Gu Lin, who had calmed down, now looked at the plaster on his brother's hand, and remembered the terrible accident that happened some time ago, and couldn't help but ask with concern.

"Who else but that nasty guy? This kid may have been born to work against me! That matter, the old man has already asked someone to settle it, but Zheng Xiao is still pestering me to investigate! I annoyed him, so I came to see you! ”

"Alas! You guys! It was supposed to be the best friend, but it became the way it is now......"

"Don't talk about him! Speaking of which, there was no accident last time, and the winner was definitely the guy from Beijing! I've never faced such a tough opponent! It's a pity that he was too old and was smashed by a beer bottle...... In China, it is estimated that it will be difficult to find such an opponent again! What a pity! ”

mentioned the guy who hung up, Gu Qing's eyes showed eagerness and regret......
