Chapter 254: Red Racing Car

The remote control racing car in my hand is a bit old. The plastic shell of the car has turned yellow, and there are some scratches around it.

Xie Changyan recognized at a glance that this was the gift he gave to his son, and there was a hint of nostalgia in his expression.

In his memory, this racing car was just delivered and was still brand new, but in the blink of an eye it became shabby.

"I didn't expect that you still kept it after so long." Xie Changyan said.

Ji Zeqiu's face looked a little ugly. "This is a gift from my father. Of course I have to keep it."

He struggled to sit up from the bed and tried to snatch the racing car back from Xie Changyan.

Before he could get off the bed, he heard Xie Changyan's next words, "Did you take out the keys from the car?"

"What?" Ji Zeqiu was stunned.

However, the next moment, he saw the remote control racing car being torn into pieces in Xie Changyan's hands.

It took Ji Zeqiu a long while to react. His eyes were grim, and his voice, hoarse from illness, suppressed his anger. "You bastard, you actually tore my things apart!"

He picked up the pillow on the bed and threw it at Xie Changyan, "Get out of here!"

Xie Changyan hadn't even married his mother yet, but he had already dismantled the things his father had given him.

He must tell his mother to kick out that bastard Xie Changyan!

When he was about to pick up another pillow to hit Xie Changyan, he saw Xie Changyan take out a slightly rusty key from a groove in the racing car.

"I didn't expect that 20 years have passed and this key is still here." The smile on Xie Changyan's face was tinged with a bit of helplessness.

"What is this?" Ji Zeqiu opened his mouth slightly and was stunned for a while.

Xie Changyan threw the key in his hand to him, and while helping him restore the remote control racing car, he said, "It's a racing car key."

"I bought a racing car when I was on a business trip abroad, but you were still young at the time and definitely couldn't drive it. So I left the key in the remote control car, thinking that if you played with the remote control car more, you might become interested in racing. When you grow up, you'll just find this key."

When Xie Changyan talked about this, there was a hint of nostalgia in his expression.

But I didn’t expect that my son would become a star when he grew up. Not only did he have no interest in racing, he even lost sight of the key.

Even the car might have disappeared.

Ji Zeqiu lowered his eyes and looked at the key in his hand with a stiff expression. A memory from his childhood suddenly flashed through his mind.

My father, who had not been home for a long time, was getting gifts for my mother and brother.

At that time, the servant was bringing him out from the backyard. When he saw his father, he hurriedly shook off the servant's hand, rushed to his father's calf, and opened his arms for him to hug him.

His father chuckled and easily held him in his arms with a pair of strong hands.

He hugged his father's neck and kissed his cheek loudly, his face covered with saliva, "Dad, a gift, a gift..."

His father wiped the saliva from his face helplessly, took out a remote control racing car from the bag and handed it to him.

"I'll give you this racing car to play with first. When you grow up, you can race with daddy, okay?"

"Okay~" he responded softly.

"There is another gift from your dad inside the remote control racing car. When our Zeqiu grows up, remember to find it."

However, his attention was soon attracted by the remote control racing car, and he quickly forgot what his father said.

Now, twenty years later, when Ji Zeqiu saw the key, his thoughts became a tangled mess like twine.

How did Xie Changyan know about this?

How did Xie Changyan know that there was another key inside?

Could it be that...

Ji Zeqiu couldn't help but clench his hands, and the irregular key in his palm hurt him.

Ji Zeqiu looked at Xie Changyan deeply, with a complicated look in his eyes.

He opened his mouth to say something, but stopped himself.

At the moment when his thoughts were confused, Xie Changyan had already restored the remote control racing car in his hand, and it was exactly the same as the original one.

"That racing car has been kept in the 4S shop in the north of the city. It should have been scrapped after so many years. If you still want it, I will pick out a new one for you next time." Xie Changyan said, reaching out to rub his head again.

"Your temperature is still so high. Have a good rest. I'll go downstairs first." Xie Changyan put back the pillow he threw on the ground, then went downstairs and left.

Ji Zeqiu looked at his departing back, then looked at the keys in his hand, clenched them tightly, and remained silent.

…

Ji Zeqiu lay in bed for two days, and finally after taking a fever-reducing injection, his body gradually got better.

The first thing I did after getting out of bed was to go to the 4S store in the north of the city.

"Mr. Ji, it's been so many years, the car may no longer be found." The clerk looked a little embarrassed.

"It doesn't matter. Just try your best to look for it. If you really can't find it, forget it." Ji Zeqiu pursed his lips.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Okay, Mr. Ji, please sit here and wait for a while. We will send someone to look for it." The clerk poured him a cup of tea, then left with a few people.

Time passed slowly. Ji Zeqiu sat in the store for 7 hours, from morning to afternoon.

He looked at the rusty key in his hand again, and couldn't explain why he came here.

Maybe he was deceiving himself?

Maybe there is no racing car at all, and this key is just another drawer or door key...

And he actually came here just because of Xie Changyan's one-sided statement.

A sense of irritation welled up in his eyes. He closed his eyes and calmness returned to his eyes.

Ji Zeqiu suddenly stood up and walked out of the store.

However, just as he walked a few meters out of the store, he heard the clerk's voice behind him, "Mr. Ji, why are you gone?"

"Maybe I remembered it wrong, but it still counts as..."

"We've found it."

Ji Zeqiu's body suddenly froze and he looked at the clerk in disbelief.

After a moment.

Led by the clerk, he came to a red racing car.

Because it has not been used and maintained for a long time, the surface has become rusty and mottled, and it looks older than today's racing cars.

No matter how mottled it is, it still can't hide the dazzling red of the car body.

For a moment, the scene of my father driving a fiery red racing car flashed through my mind.

"Mr. Ji, is this the car?" the clerk asked.

The clerk's voice suddenly brought Ji Zeqiu back to his senses.

He came to his senses, took out the key that he had been holding in his hand for a long time, and inserted it into the door lock of the racing car.

My hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

With a "click".

The car door opened smoothly.

This is actually the racing car his father gave him?! (End of this chapter)
