Chapter 27 Racing is really tiring.
Extreme Speed has its own dedicated training base in the suburbs.
They enclosed several abandoned factory buildings and deliberately avoided constructing multiple S-shaped bends around them. Each bend was unconventional, with the widest exceeding 180 degrees.
In a race car traveling at 300 kilometers per hour, a slight mishandling can cause it to skid out of control, and rollovers are commonplace.
"The winter race in December is at Xijinshan." Zhang Shuyan, with one hand on the steering wheel and the other casually resting on the window, tapped twice and asked the back seat, "Do you know how many S-shaped curves there are at Xijinshan?"
Luo Yunqing pursed her lips and shook her head.
"That's honest enough."
She smiled and explained, "There are 68, 23 of which are over 180 degrees. Does that not make much of a difference? Let me put it another way: the number of curves on Xijin Mountain is three times that of our training base, and that's without even considering factors like hills, altitude, and climate."
Upon entering the base, Zhang Shuyan withdrew his hand from the car window, quickly shifted gears, slid sideways, and reversed into the parking spot in one smooth motion.
"Get out of the car, boss. Come and pick out a model you like."
Zhang Shuyan pointed to the rows of sports cars parked in the garage. In addition to Ferrari SF90 and Porsche 911, there were also top-tier supercars such as Alfa Romeo, Koenigsegg, and Shelby.
But among these luxury cars, there is an out-of-place Ford GT350, which is worth less than a million compared to supercars that cost tens or even hundreds of millions.
"Boss, let's look at something else." Seeing him staring at the red Ford for a while, Yu Huai'an raised his chin and gestured towards Zhang Shuyan, who had gotten out of the car and started scolding someone: "This one..."
But it's the Queen's exclusive vehicle.
Luo Yunqing understood his meaning, and pointed to the gray-black Shelby Lizard next to Ford, "Then let's take this one."
"good."
Yu Huai'an immediately ordered someone to bring the key over.
However, before it could be delivered to Luo Yunqing, Teng Zaiye stepped between the two of them, turned around, grabbed his shoulders and shook him violently: "So you didn't listen to what I said, huh! She, Zhang Shuyan, the undefeated queen, and you, a newbie, how could you possibly outrun her?"
"We can't outrun them."
"You can't even outrun me..."
Luo Yunqing casually brushed aside the hand gripping her shoulder, took the key, walked to the "giant lizard," and raised an eyebrow: "We have to give it a try. If we don't even try, we definitely won't win."
The roar of the engine suddenly filled the garage.
People who were adjusting the performance of other supercars looked up.
"Yo! You've made your choice." After scolding the person, Zhang Shuyan returned and got into the Ford GT350.
The car window had just been rolled down when Teng Zaiye grabbed the door, saying, "Sister, Your Majesty. This young man is ignorant and arrogant, please don't take him seriously."
“It’s good to be ignorant and reckless.” Zhang Shuyan looked at the person wearing a headset and helmet who was listening carefully to Yu Huai’an’s explanation of the operating procedures, then looked back at him. “In our circle, you have to be willing to take risks and fight.”
"But……"
"Alright, why have you become so fussy since you left the entertainment industry?" Zhang Shuyan waved his hand impatiently, telling him to go away and reverse out of the car.
As the two cars drove onto the runway, Teng Zaiye began to scratch his face in terror and then ran to the monitor screen.
The red lights on both sides of the track lit up, and the countdown began in ten seconds.
Ford and Shelby are poised to launch.
"Don't be nervous, boss." Seeing him gripping the steering wheel tightly with both hands, Zhang Shuyan still had the mood to smile at him. "It doesn't matter if the car rolls over, we have a medical team ready here."
Luo Yunqing: "That's really great."
Entering the countdown of three seconds,
Three, two, one!
The moment the red light turned green, Silbe took the lead and quickly arrived at the first S-shaped bend.
Luo Yunqing immediately shifted gears, braked, and turned the steering wheel to skid through the bend. The tires screeched against the ground, making a sharp, ear-piercing tearing sound, and dust filled the air. Just after passing one halfway point, another halfway point followed.
Teng Zaiye crouched in front of the monitoring screen, subconsciously clenching his fist and holding his breath.
Fortunately, we made it through the first bend smoothly.
"The braking point was too early."
"The steering wheel is turning back too slowly."
"No, no."
Turning around, I saw several coordinators and drivers sitting in front of the monitor, who shook their heads after watching for a while.
Clearly, Luo Yunqing's driving skills were completely inadequate compared to theirs.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yu Huai'an said coldly, "This is the big spender who has sponsored our events for the second half of the year."
"Oh!" Someone quickly realized what was happening and praised the screen repeatedly: "Wow! That turn was brilliant!"
Teng Zaiye: "..."
There's no need to go against your conscience like that.
The initial boos all turned sour, but before they could offer any more praise, Ford caught up at the third bend.
After running alongside Sylber for a while, Zhang Shuyan even let go of one hand and waved, "Let's go."
The people in front of the monitor screen: "..."
It doesn't cause much harm, but it's extremely insulting.
While Shelby may be far superior to Ford in straight driving, in S-shaped curves, it depends more on the driver's reaction ability and the degree of fit between the driver and the vehicle.
Luo Yunqing has neither right now.
Even driving a supercar, you can't compete with a Ford. You can only watch as the other car smoothly navigates three turns and speeds away.
It's true... we can't outrun them.
Luo Yunqing bit her lower lip hard, and the image of a forlorn-looking person in a wheelchair vaguely appeared before her eyes. She slammed the accelerator to the floor.
No, even if we can't outrun them, we have to run!
"Hey, hey, hey, look at that Shelby."
The outcome was already decided, so there was nothing to watch. Just as the drivers were about to leave, they noticed that the Shelby on the monitor was constantly accelerating, especially around the corners.
"It's going too fast, it'll flip over."
"Wait, this route looks so familiar, especially the braking..." Yu Huai'an switched from the big screen to the small screen, and then back again, and was surprised to find that the two cars, which were five S-curves apart, were now entering the curves at the same time. "He's imitating Shuyan!"
Especially on the large screen, you can intuitively feel that not only the braking, but also the timing of turning the steering wheel back is almost perfectly controlled.
If this continues, he will catch up with Ford.
“He…” Teng Zaiye stared in disbelief, “He doesn’t have any surveillance cameras on his end, how did he figure it out?”
Not only did they see through Zhang Shuyan's methods, but they also learned them quickly in such a short time.
Yu Huai'an was also puzzled by this, but soon his attention was diverted to another thorny issue.
On the data acquisition device, Luo Yunqing's heart rate had soared to 186 and was still rising.
"No! We have to stop it immediately. This is putting too much strain on the heart." Even the healthiest person can't withstand this kind of torment.
But the game continues, and it can't be stopped just because he says one word.
With his heart rate about to break 200, Ford crossed the finish line without any doubt, and then slowly drove a few more meters forward.
After stopping, Zhang Shuyan released the steering wheel, leaned back in his seat, and took a long breath.
Almost as soon as she caught her breath, she heard the hiss of a pressure relief valve behind her. She turned around abruptly, and the "big lizard" came straight at her after rounding the last S-curve.
They caught up so quickly!
The car door was almost kicked open. Luo Yunqing was already exhausted and was gasping for breath while clutching her heart.
Yu Huai'an quickly called the medical team to remove his helmet and cool him down, as well as his blood pressure and heart rate.
“You…” Considering that he was the big boss, Yu Huai’an couldn’t scold him like he would others, so he could only sigh and earnestly advise, “It’s really too dangerous.”
“Yeah.” Teng Zaiye chimed in, holding a small fan to cool him down. “You’re really stubborn. I told you Zhang Shuyan is the undefeated queen, but you actually want to surpass her.”
"You've got guts." Zhang Shuyan had a vague feeling about it during the journey. "You've managed to imitate me in such a short time."
“But I…” Luo Yunqing said, her face pale, and lowered her head, “I still lost.”
Zhang Shuyan: "If you win, I'll go crazy."
She's been working in this industry for seven years since she got her driver's license at eighteen. If he were to surpass her right away, that would be terrible.
"The feeling of an unbalanced heartbeat must be unpleasant."
Luo Yunqing drank some lightly salted water and nodded.
Zhang Shuyan pulled up a chair and sat down in front of him, resting her chin on her hand and raising a playful smile, then asked, "Want to play some more? I already said, Xijinshan is much more difficult than this place."
"Sister Yan, are you willing to take me with you?" Luo Yunqing wiped her face and looked over.
Zhang Shuyan averted his gaze for a moment, "There's no other way, it's to keep you, the big boss."
Yu Huai'an: ?
It's like the sun has risen in the west; to come out of her mouth such a thing is truly astonishing.
Luo Yunqing hadn't fully recovered yet, and her smile was a little stiff: "Then thank you, thank you very much, Sister Yan."
Zhang Shuyan hummed in agreement, then continued, "Since you're calling me 'sister,' let me give you some advice: imitation is just imitation. Especially in racing, you have to combine your own habits and physical abilities to calculate your own cornering and sliding techniques. Otherwise, you'll always be stuck like this."
She tapped her heart with her hand, pulled a brand new pair of carbon fiber gloves from her pocket, and went to check the condition of Sylphy's engine.
Teng Zaiye quickly shoved the fan into Luo Yunqing's hand and ran over: "What's going on, Shuyan? Didn't we say before that I had to beat you? Now..."
Did I say that?
After inspecting the engine and the pressure relief valve, Zhang Shuyan dusted off his gloves, called over the maintenance team, and, seeing their surprised expressions, explained, "What I said before was, if you can beat me, you can play around. Since you can't beat me, you can't just come and go as you please."
Teng Zaiye was stunned by what she said, "Is that so?"
"Hmm." Zhang Shuyan nodded without batting an eye, glancing at the person taking blood pressure. "And he..."
What's wrong with him?
"Second Master's girlfriend, please give her some face."
I see.
So it's because of Lao Pei...
Teng Zaiye tilted his head again: "How did you know?"
Of course it's her grandfather...
Zhang Shuyan stood on tiptoe with her hands behind her back, turned around with a smile, and said, "I saw it on the news."
"Oh." Teng Zaiye didn't suspect anything and whispered in his ear, "He wants to give Lao Pei a surprise, so don't let it slip out."
"A surprise?" Zhang Shuyan pursed her lips. "Are you sure it's not a shock?"
…………
Around 5 p.m., her body had basically recovered. After watching racing videos of different drivers at the training base, Luo Yunqing dragged her extremely tired body back to Four Seasons Cloud Peak.
When he got home and turned on his phone, he found that Pei Yanli had sent him several messages and had a missed call.
[Husband]: There's an important meeting at the company, so I'm going out.
[Husband]: When are you coming back? I'll have Chen Zhao pick you up.
Luo Yunqing quickly replied: I'm home.
He staggered and collapsed onto the sofa, his eyelids drooping heavily.
Racing is really tiring.
The moment I closed my eyes, I saw him sitting inside the car, the surrounding scenery rushing past, the air inside the helmet growing thinner and thinner, my vision narrowing, and my heart pounding wildly...
Xijin Mountain is far more dangerous and difficult than this. If you are not careful, the tires will slip... Luo Yunqing suddenly twitched and opened her eyes as the vehicle rolled down the cliff.
He was lying perfectly fine on the sofa at home.
Looking out the window, it was already completely dark outside.
I blinked twice to quickly adjust to the darkness, sat up, and found myself covered with a high-quality blanket.
Turning my head blankly, I saw a warm light emanating from the semi-open kitchen, along with a sweet, fruity aroma in the air.
"husband?"
The familiar sound of a wheelchair came from the kitchen.
Luo Yunqing rushed over.
Just then, Pei Yanli turned off the stove. As soon as she turned around, she scrambled onto her wheelchair and huddled in.
“I made apple cinnamon tea,” Pei Yanli hugged him, gently pressing her thumb under his eyes, “It can relieve fatigue.”
"Husband, it's so good~" Luo Yunqing sighed, buried her head in his arms and snuggled against him, smelling the intermittent sandalwood scent on his body.
I feel so relieved.
Pei Yanli patted him gently twice: "This is all I can do."
"That's enough." Luo Yunqing raised her head and nuzzled his cheek against his. "As long as my husband likes me, I'm satisfied."
"I like it, I like it very much." But sometimes, Pei Yanli wished he could be a little greedy and make other requests.
"Other requirements... let me think about it."
Luo Yunqing closed her eyes and fell asleep again after a short while.
This time, instead of having those weird and terrifying dreams, I dreamt that Pei Yanli stood up.
The next day, he stared at those legs countless times.
Until Zhang Shuyan sent a message.
[Invincible Queen]: If you want to play seriously, don't give up halfway. Come to the training base at least three days a week.
Three days.
What excuse should he come up with next?
"I'm going to the hospital for a check-up the day after tomorrow afternoon. You... didn't have class that day?" Pei Yanli turned away slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable after being stared at for so long.
Luo Yunqing then looked away and nodded. Halfway through her nod, she remembered Zhang Shuyan's message, "I didn't have class that day. But I had a club activity after 4 p.m., but it's okay, I'll go with you after you see the doctor."
"Since you have something to do, just call me Chen Zhao."
"No!" Luo Yunqing shook her head repeatedly. "I want to stay with you."
…………
As soon as the class at noon was over, Luo Yunqing rushed back. She glanced at the time, 12:20 on the 16th, and paused, stunned.
Wow, tomorrow is already the 17th!
Besides Teng Zaiye, there are many other people on that plane tomorrow morning at 10:00 AM...
"The recovery is going well, the bone is healing very well. Just to be on the safe side, let's remove the metal plate in another two weeks." Tang Yajun said after reviewing the X-ray, "I'll devise a rehabilitation plan for you then, but be prepared, rehabilitation is the most difficult part, and it's easy to develop feelings of aversion during this process, family members..."
Tang Yajun looked behind him and emphasized again, "Family member."
Luo Yunqing immediately snapped out of her daze, "I'm here."
"Family members must do a good job of reassuring the patient and offer plenty of encouragement."
"I understand." Luo Yunqing gripped her phone tightly, putting aside other thoughts, and listened carefully.
After they came out, Pei Yanli squeezed his slightly cold hand. "What's wrong? Is there something urgent in the club?"
What should he say?
Her heart pounded like thunder. Luo Yunqing hesitated, not daring to look at him: "I...I actually had a dream."
