6 Chapter 6
On lap 47 of the race, he had a great opportunity to overtake near Turn 3 and was in a very advantageous position, but the Canadian in front of him defended in violation of the rules and drove to the outside to block him, and he did not back down and was almost knocked off the track by a hard-nosed opponent.
Fortunately, the player was timid at the last minute, otherwise he might not have been able to finish the race unscathed.
It was precisely because of the unexpected situation on the field that the reporter added a question, and there was an answer from his heart.
On the cover of the video sent by Cen Yao, his nineteen-year-old face was on it, and he didn't have to click on it to clearly recall himself at that age, as well as the new wind and sunlight on the track when he first competed that year.
Xie Yixiu deleted the sentence he originally planned to send to Cen Yao word by word, and then asked her: "Do you get off work tomorrow or at this time?" ”
Cen Yao knew that Sammo was the type of taciturn, so even if he didn't say anything about Xie Yixiu's interview, she wasn't disappointed.
Maybe he'll be touched, even slightly.
Cen Yao: "It's still oh." ”
Sammer said yes.
Cen Yao sent him a kitten emoji of his favorite, holding his mobile phone, remembering the night he had just spent, and couldn't help but smirk.
She posted a photo taken during the meal on Weibo with the caption: "A successful start [love]." ”
A few minutes later, this Weibo was liked by Zhu Xiangyi.
The other person sent her a message: "What is the beginning of success?" Have you made progress with your little brother who looks like Xie Yixiu? ”
Cen Yao happily told her that he had made an appointment with him for dinner today, and he also promised himself to send her home every day in the future.
Zhu Xiangyi: "That's good, you're pretty good." ”
Zhu Xiangyi: "When will you take it down, bring it out to meet your sisters, I'm really curious, how similar it is to be certified like Xie Yixiu by you, a die-hard fan." ”
Cen Yao declared: "But I didn't want to get close to Xie Yixiu because he looked like him, but because I had a common language with him." ”
Zhu Xiangyi didn't seem to care about these at all: "Okay, okay, because anything is fine, isn't falling in love just to be happy, as long as you don't run into a dog man like Pei Jiamu." ”
If it weren't for Zhu Xiangyi mentioning Pei Jiamu, this name would have disappeared from Cen Yao's life.
Only then did she realize that she hadn't thought of that scum once since she had known Sammer.
Not long ago, she was still struggling with not wanting to tell others about her relationship and talking about scumbags, but now, she is about to forget Pei Jiamu like forgetting a fallen leaf on the street corner.
But there seems to be this kind of chain coincidence in life, and when she was eating in the cafeteria at noon the next day, a colleague asked her about Pei Jiamu.
The table in the teacher's cafeteria is a long table, which requires many people to sit together, and the topic of conversation will also be shared, I don't know who mentioned that a young teacher is going to get married next year, and then someone remembered Cen Yao and asked her how she talked with her boyfriend, and whether she had any plans to move to the next step.
Cen Yao put down his chopsticks and said generously, "We broke up." ”
The other party was a little surprised and embarrassed, and apologized to Cen Yao again and again, saying that he didn't know and didn't ask on purpose.
Cen Yao shook his head: "It's okay, it's just not suitable, it's good to divide it." ”
At this time, another colleague named Yu Shuang suddenly interjected: "A high-achieving student like your boyfriend has entered such a big law firm, and there must be beauties with good conditions around him, and it is normal to divide them, you don't know how sought-after high-quality men are now." ”
Cen Yao heard the words "high-quality man", and then connected to Pei Jiamu's actions, and felt that he must not be able to control his face now, showing a very indescribable expression.
Yu Shuang also teaches art, but in another grade group, the entry time is two years earlier than Cen Yao, she has participated in the open class competition with Cen Yao before, but she didn't get any rankings, and after she came back, she was still talking behind her back, saying that Cen Yao is a native of Shanghai, and her family must have something to do with the leaders who served as judges, so she can win the award so quickly.
Cen Yao didn't go to Yu Shuang's theory after knowing it, although it was nonsense to know the leader, but she didn't want to make trouble for herself, so she went with the other party.
It is conceivable that even if she says Pei Jiamu's true face, Yu Shuang will add oil and vinegar everywhere to reverse black and white, so Cen Yao didn't bother to explain, pretended not to understand the other party's belittlement of him, and silently lowered his head and continued to eat.
The yogurt from the cafeteria today is quite delicious, it is coconut flavored.
Teacher Zhang, the team leader next to him, couldn't stand it, and came out to help Cen Yao: "That's not what I said, maybe it's our Xiao Cen dumped her ex-boyfriend, isn't it." ”
Cen Yao paused.
Strictly speaking, it was indeed the breakup she mentioned.
“…… Sort of. She said.
"I just said, Xiao Cen is beautiful and has a good personality, and she chases her a lot, and I saw someone at the school gate that day to pick her up from work." Teacher Zhang said as he gave Cen Yao a look.
The colleague who asked Cen Yao about her progress with her boyfriend immediately answered: "Really? Xiao Cen, you are so popular. ”
Cen Yao is not good at dismantling Teacher Zhang's platform, after all, the other party is supporting her, and it is also a fact that someone came to pick her up, so she bit her chopsticks and nodded.
Thankfully, Sanmer wasn't there and didn't know that.
Yu Shuang was choked for a moment, and looked at Cen Yao suspiciously, Cen Yao was already weak-hearted, so he quickly lowered his head and avoided the two scrutinizing eyes.
After eating, Cen Yao sent the dinner plate to the tableware recycling office, and ran to ask the master if there was still much yogurt, and she wanted to buy two boxes to take away.
The master saw that the little girl looked cute, and didn't want her money, so he moved the cardboard box and picked it for her.
There were still three or four boxes left in it, and Cen Yao took the last coconut-flavored one and said thank you with a smile.
Not long after she walked out of the cafeteria, she had just put a straw on the yogurt and took a sip when she heard someone calling out to her behind her.
Cen Yao stopped and looked back to see that it was the male teacher who taught mathematics in one of the classes she led, named Dai Yi.
She is not very familiar with Dai Yi, only when the class schedule is next to each other, and she also listens to others, saying that his family is in Shanghai, he is young, and he is a relatively scarce male in the teaching team, many teachers want to be a matchmaker for him, but he has a high vision, and the graduates of famous schools are also a little arrogant, so he has never agreed.
"Teacher Dai." Cen Yao swallowed the yogurt and said hello to him.
Today is a sunny day, the sun is shining at noon, she hopes that Dai Yi can finish quickly no matter what she is looking for, because he is taller than her, and he has been looking at him with his neck up, and the light is so dazzling.
Dai Yi handed her something in his hand: "I saw you ask for yogurt just now, I don't like to drink these, this is for you, I haven't opened it yet." ”
Cen Yao was stunned for a moment.
Dai Yi seemed to be afraid of her refusal, and stood there, with long hands and feet, with a little apprehension in his expression.
So even though the box of yogurt he gave was not the coconut flavor he liked, Cen Yao still took it and thanked him politely.
The two of them walked in the direction of the office building together, Cen Yao covered his mouth and yawned, and Yu Guang noticed that Dai Yi was looking at her.
She thought he had something to say, but he didn't open his mouth for a long time, and it wasn't until the two of them were about to separate around the corner that he hesitated and said, "I heard that you broke up with your boyfriend during dinner." ”
Under Cen Yao's puzzled gaze, he cramped and said, "I don't mean anything else, I just want to tell you, don't take these things to heart." ”
Before Cen Yao could speak, Dai Yi hurriedly said goodbye to her and left.
She reacted with her sleepy brain for a moment before realizing that the other party was comforting herself.
Are people who study mathematics so reserved?
Cen Yao didn't think too much, returned to the office, casually put the yogurt given by Dai Yi on the table, and sat and played with his mobile phone for a while.
The algorithm pushed her the snacks that have been very popular recently, the works of the new generation of painters, and the off-field footage of the Mask team F1 brought by other fans from foreign media.
Cen Yao looked at the content one by one, and the final tidbits video was not long, in addition to the highlight shots of Zhao Zheng and Yao Siyuan who played this season, there were also a few seconds of the latter's verbal conflict with the event engineer, they spoke English, Cen Yao could barely tell that this was the sub-race in Italy.
Zhao Zheng and Yao Siyuan ranked 15th and 19th respectively this year, and the sponsor logos printed on their racing suits are also much less visible to the naked eye than two years ago.
After watching the video, Cen Yao clicked on Xie Yixiu's private message, and casually expressed a few words of afterthought.
Shan Jinyao: "I feel that Brother Xiaoyao is not in good shape this season. ”
Yama Jinyao: "In Italy, he shouldn't have made a fast lap so quickly, the tires would overheat, was he in a hurry to get points, and he didn't cooperate well with the engineer." ”
Mask HQ.
Zhao Zheng bumped Xie Yixiu with his shoulder: "What are you looking at?" ”
Xie Yixiu subconsciously quit the App he was using and put his phone away: "I didn't see anything." ”
But Zhao Zheng saw it clearly, Xie Yixiu used Weibo, and it seemed that he was still reading private messages.
"You often log in to your Weibo account?" He asked in surprise.
Zhao Zheng felt novel, because Xie Yixiu was high and did not like exposure other than the competition, Weibo rarely carried out daily business, and even when the people in the team went to sign posters and hand autographs for fans before the race, Xie Yixiu almost did not participate.
He didn't expect the other party to read the private message.
Xie Yixiu didn't answer Zhao Zheng's question, but looked at Yao Siyuan, who was wearing a counterweight helmet training his head and neck not far away, and said: "I forgot to say last time, why didn't he change his problem of not listening to engineers on the field." ”
In Formula 1, engineers are an extremely important partner for drivers who provide strategies to the drivers in the race via radio communication.
Zhao Zheng laughed "sneered": "Did he listen to it once, just said that this time in Italy, he wanted to compete for the rankings, but the tires couldn't hold up and made a fast lap, let him slow down, he was all the wind in his ears, but the tires were finished before the pit stop, and he was directly dropped to the bottom one." ”
Yao Siyuan seemed to hear them talking about himself, raised his eyes to look over, and after seeing Xie Yixiu, he immediately looked away.
"You see, he's afraid of you in the convoy, and no one can control him, not even me, let alone the engineer." Zhao Zheng said.
Xie Yixiu was quiet and said, "What if I go to be an engineer." ”
Zhao Zheng looked at him sharply: "What did you say." ”
Xie Yixiu knew that Zhao Zheng heard it clearly, and did not repeat it.
After a few seconds of silence, Zhao Zheng lowered his voice: "Do you really want to retire?" ”
At the end, there is a bit of a bitterness at the end.
In the past two years, although Xie Yixiu did not play or take on business, he never said that he would retire, and he always kept a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that one day, Xie Yixiu could get rid of his current state and become the high-spirited genius driver he was back then.
But now, the other party asked him lightly what if he wanted to be an engineer himself.
Zhao Zheng very much hoped that he had heard it wrong, or that Xie Yixiu was joking.
But he clearly had a premonition of this decision.
Xie Yixiu lowered his head, looked at the ebony rosary hanging on his wrist, and said in a calm voice: "There is no need to consume it anymore." ”
He can't drive a car, so he might as well do something useful.
Zhao Zheng interrupted him: "Brother Yi, can you think about it again." ”
added another sentence: "I will slowly change Xiao Yao's problem for him, not to the point where you want to be an engineer for him." ”
Xie Yi was about to speak, but Yao Siyuan suddenly made a big noise.
When he looked over, Yao Siyuan was already lying on the ground, one hand covering his neck, and the brow above the helmet was furrowed tightly.
Zhao Zheng said unexpectedly: "How can you still twist your neck, what's wrong with this kid recently." ”
Fortunately, Yao Siyuan's sprain was not serious, and the team doctor did a simple treatment and asked him not to practice for a while, and to sit on the spot and rest for a while.
Xie Yixiu didn't say anything at the time, and after the training was over, he stopped Yao Siyuan, who was going to change his clothes.
Yao Siyuan stopped: "Brother Yi." ”
"How do you think you are today?" Xie Yixiu asked lightly.
Yao Siyuan lowered his head and said no.
Xie Yixiu said expressionlessly: "If you are so absent-minded when you go to the field, it is not a simple sprain, you know." ”
Yao Siyuan was silent.
Xie Yixiu didn't say anything more, took the car keys on the empty equipment, turned around and left.
Yao Siyuan stood in place for a while, a little out of his mind.
When Xie Yixiu's back was about to disappear from view, he dodged and glanced up, then took out his mobile phone from the pocket of his sweatpants and quickly clicked on the screen a few times.
Xu Hanzhu's voice sounded nearby: "What's the matter with you." ”
Yao Siyuan was startled, and after seeing who it was, he hid his phone behind him in a panic, and his neck was a little red: "...... What's going on. ”
"I took a leave of absence yesterday and was distracted today, so you train like this?" Xu Hanzhu said with a stiff face.
Yao Siyuan choked with her: "Does it have anything to do with you how I practice, can you not keep teaching me." ”
After a pause, he looked at Xu Hanzhu's white face and muttered quietly, "You are not a few years older than me." ”
Xu Hanzhu ignored this sentence, and his eyes fell on Yao Siyuan's hand hidden behind him: "What's on your phone?" ”
Yao Siyuan coughed: "...... Something you can't watch. ”
Thinking of something, he put on a cowardly expression: "I'm chatting with people." ”
Without waiting for Xu Hanzhu to ask, he added: "Female." ”
Then watch expectantly the reaction of the person on the other side.
Xu Hanzhu: "......"
Xu Hanzhu: "Boring. ”
When she turned to leave, her neat short hair made a nice arc in the air.
Yao Siyuan smelled a faint smell of bitter orange.
He found that Xu Hanzhu seemed to have changed to a new shampoo.
When Cen Yao got off work, he met Yu Shuang at the school gate.
"What a coincidence." Yu Shuang said.
If it weren't for the fact that her expression looked really deliberate, Cen Yao wouldn't have thought that she had deliberately followed her.
Yu Shuangbian walked to the side of the road: "I spoke a little straight at noon today, you are not angry." ”
Cen Yao said it was fine.
"By the way, didn't Mr. Zhang say that someone came to pick you up, why didn't you see it." Yu Shuang pretended to be casual.
Cen Yao looked around, but he really didn't see Sammo's car.
She was about to take out her mobile phone from her bag to see if the other party had sent her a message, when she heard a clear male voice-
"Cen Yao."
