Eternal Burning - Chapter 18
[Chapter 18 Willful and Picky]

Shang Muxiao was always in the leading position, and even opened a distance of more than a second with the second car in the first few laps.
“Qingwan, a racing track near the stands, was designed as a continuous curve when it was built in order to increase its visibility. After the continuous curve, the areas that the audience can’t see are mostly smooth. Straight line.” The whole game lasted for more than 40 minutes, and the top players may retain some strength at the beginning, and the changes in the rankings occurred more at the end of the traffic flow, and the top three remained basically unchanged.
The game was not so thrilling, so the anchor once again focused the commentary on the players, continuing the unfinished introduction about the players’ vehicles.
Twenty-two laps, every two minutes, Shang Muxiao will drive under the box at a speed of 300 kilometers per hour, as fast as a blue lightning, often before his eyes are in focus, he is already far away .
The gap between the second six-eyed demon god and the third place Zhou Yanyi was very small. Zhou Yanyi seemed to be always looking for opportunities to try to overtake in a corner. But the Six-Eyed Demon God is skilled and experienced in driving, and he blocked him once or twice, failing to make him do as he wished.
“Beautiful, Jiang is still old and hot, and the six-eyed demon occupied the second position, and Ducati did not easily surpass it! The speed between him and the first was also reduced to 06 seconds. I believe there will be some in the last two laps. A very fierce competition for the championship and runner-up is waiting for us.”
As the commentary said, by the twelfth lap, halfway through the race, the players no longer saved their strength one by one, and the six-eyed demon gradually exerted force, and Zhou Yanyi, who was clinging to the Throw away a little bit and challenge for the first place.
One lap, two laps…
The six-eyed demon god in fluorescent green was about to catch up with Shang Muxiao, and the two were only half a car apart.
On the 16th lap, when the two drove past the main stand next to each other again, the exciting chase caused a lot of cheers from the audience.
“There are six laps left, and the Six-eyed Demon God used his skilled cornering skills to further shorten the distance to the first place…”
When going through a corner, the rider’s center of gravity is skewed to one side, his knees are almost touching the ground, and it looks like he will overturn anytime, anywhere. In addition, Shang Muxiao is very close to the car behind, which makes people more and more worried, afraid that they will accidentally bump into.
On the 19th lap, the Six-Eyed Demon God tried to overtake in consecutive corners again, but the result was a sudden accident. His body was too inclined, the wheels could not catch the ground, and he slid sideways and directly led the car and fell off the track.
This seems to have affected Shang Muxiao a little. The Six-Eyed Demon God was in a corner when he crashed, but Shang Muxiao had already straightened up and made a continuous turn. I don’t know if he was touched, and the body shook uncontrollably.
I pressed my palm against the glass, and my back was tense. I wanted to observe him more closely, but he was so fast that the vision in the box couldn’t catch him very quickly.
I turned around to watch the TV, and the director on the screen showed the picture to the six-eyed demon god who had an accident. In the slow-motion replay, he took his hands off the car and rolled on the ground for several laps before finally stopping at the edge of the track.
“I didn’t expect an accident to happen, it’s a pity, I hope the driver is okay…” The original high tone of the commentator sank. “It should be fine.” Yin Nuo also turned around and looked
at the big screen, “Each of the riders is equipped with an airbag behind them, and the helmet is also very strong. He is on his back and is unlikely to be seriously injured.”
With his words, the driver in the green racing suit slowly climbed up from the ground and waved to the auditorium, indicating that he was fine.
The audience burst into cheers again, and the commentator breathed a sigh of relief: “Although the car was scrapped, luckily the players looked intact, which is great.” The
director cut the picture back to the first driver again. Due to the impact of the accident, Zhou Yanyi changed from third to second, and seized the opportunity to reduce the speed between him and Shang Muxiao to 04 seconds.
In the last three laps, every corner may become the winning point for Zhou Yanyi to overtake. Blue and red, one after the other, chasing each other without giving in to each other. In competitive sports, no one wants to be first.
With the arrival of the final lap, the commentary’s tone became more and more excited.
“It’s the last lap, it seems that Shang Muxiao is going to keep the first place to the end! This corner will be Zhou Yanyi’s last hope to overtake… He tried to overtake, 02 seconds later, can he succeed? Ah, After failing, Shang Muxiao accelerated to distance himself from him, and the speed between the two returned to 04 seconds again… Shang Muxiao was about to cross the line, and he crossed the finish line first!! The champion of this Frost Cup was born Let’s applaud this young 20-year-old!” The
smooth body was like a comet passing from the sky, leaving a blue shadow on my retina. Shang Muxiao stood up as soon as he crossed the finish line, holding the handlebar with only one hand, while the other hand clenched tightly in the air, slowing down to receive applause from all directions, his excitement was beyond words.
Young, shining, with infinite possibilities…
The fingertips slid lightly across the dazzling blue, and the sweaty palm left a faint trace on the glass.
Twelve years ago, at the same age, I was like him, with countless honors, young and energetic, and felt that I was omnipotent.
But looking at it now, my life and his life are completely opposite.
He is healthy and handsome, I am disabled and weak; he is fearless, and I look forward to the future; he is youthful, and I am… dead.
“In the first time, he was fourth. He had just turned eighteen years old at that time. His grades were already good, but his face was darkened for several days. In the second time, Yan Yi was first, and he was second. After all, he was a good friend. I wasn’t so unhappy, but I wasn’t very happy. I finally won the first place this year, he was happy, and we can finally stop looking at his face.” Yin Nuo’s voice pulled my thoughts back to Reality.
“Then he’s very talented,” I said casually.
Shang Muxiao’s car entered the maintenance area, and the subsequent vehicles also crossed the finish line one after another. The podium facing the VIP box is ready, with champagne ready, just waiting for the champion to arrive.
“boom!”
I turned around in fright and found that Yin Nuo opened the sparkling wine on the counter.
The golden wine fell into the goblet, he held the glass and handed it to me, and said, “Do you want it?”
I shook my head: “No, I have a car.”
Yin Nuo returned to the window with the glass in hand. , eyes fell to the podium.
“Professor Bei, are you dating Ah Xiao?”
He asked this, neither gossip nor a smile on his face, but more like a questioning.
This question is too personal. Let’s not say that I don’t have that kind of relationship with Shang Muxiao. Even if it is, what does it have to do with him?
I frowned and looked at his side face for a while, and then I also looked at the podium.
Shang Muxiao took off his helmet and stood on the podium surrounded by the crowd, next to the runner-up and the third runner-up.
The trophy of the Frost Cup seems to be carved from a whole piece of white crystal. The crystal is naturally turbid and glows a light blue in the light, which looks like real ice from a distance.
Seeing that I didn’t answer for a long time, Yin Nuo couldn’t hold back his breath.
“Professor Bei…”
“You like him.” I pointed out sharply.
It’s not that I like Shang Muxiao, so it’s impossible to speak to me in such a hostile tone. After all, I’m still his elective teacher anyway.
The person beside him was quiet, and after a long time he seemed to be struggling, gritted his teeth and said, “I’m just a kind reminder. No one can completely occupy him. The most important thing in his heart is always his sister, as long as his sister says a word, he will You can leave anyone at any time without looking back. Professor Bei, you can’t afford to play, don’t get too deep.”
It seems that Shang Muxiao really loves his sister and everyone knows that he is in love with him.
“Don’t worry.” Shang Muxiao took the trophy, held it high, and accepted the baptism of the spotlight, with such a confident and natural expression on his face, “I haven’t fallen into anything yet. It’s you, why didn’t you tell me? What about him?”
Twenty years old is the age to talk vigorously about the unparalleled love.
After so many years, apart from these legs, if I have any regrets in my life, it should be that I did not have a reckless love when I could run and jump at will.
Hey, the timing of Lu Feiheng’s confession was really bad.
When he came back to his senses, there was no sign of Shang Muxiao on the podium, only the second and third places were standing there to take pictures.
“You don’t know him. He never hesitates about things he doesn’t need. If he knows…” Yin Nuo lowered his voice, a little unwilling, and more helpless, “We will not even be friends.”
I Suddenly realized. Shang Muxiao didn’t only have a gem, but in his opinion, even if someone he didn’t care about came to him with sincerity, it wasn’t a gem, but a fake glass.
He only wants the most shining and most beloved, the “jewel” he believes. He will protect it under his wings and hide it in the deepest part of the lair, where no one can touch it and no one can see it.
Willful and picky.
The box door was suddenly pushed open at this moment, and Yin Nuo and I both looked at it.
Shang Muxiao held the trophy and walked in breathlessly, as if running all the way from the podium.
“Ah Xiao…” Yin Nuo greeted him with a smile, Shang Muxiao didn’t even look at him, he walked straight towards me.
This “glass” that could not be a gem instantly dimmed, and silently stepped aside without trying to come forward.
“Where are you looking?” Shang Muxiao snapped my chin unhappily, feeling dissatisfied that I didn’t pay attention to him wholeheartedly.
I tilted my head, got rid of his hand, and controlled the wheelchair to step back a little quietly.
“Congratulations, the game is very exciting.”
He was a little unhappy at first, but when I complimented him, he quickly burst into a smile, which is really a child’s temperament.
“Like it?”
I also asked him if he liked this kind of game.
To be honest, I don’t like it. It’s too dangerous. When the six-eyed demon fell off the track, I looked at the driver who managed to stop the roll in the camera. The pain of the broken bones seemed to return to me briefly. . If it weren’t for the worry that Shang Muxiao would have another accident later, this feeling might have existed for a longer time.
“It’s interesting.”
However, as a prudent adult, politeness is a basic social etiquette. Even if I don’t like it, I still affirmed this event.
Shang Muxiao smiled and narrowed his eyes: “It’s a pity that you can’t ride in my car, many people want to sit in the back seat of me.” Then he put the heavy trophy in my arms, “Here.”
I I hugged the trophy subconsciously, and then I was at a loss.
What does it mean?
He saw my doubts, pointed to a place on the trophy and said, “Look, there is a star here.”
I followed the direction of his finger and saw a flashing light embedded in the brown base on the front of the trophy. A bright pentagram-shaped diamond, with a long silver tail trailing behind the star, and a comet.
Shang Muxiao was like a child asking for praise, his tone rose slightly, and his face was filled with unconcealed joy.
“Don’t you like stars? I thought about it before the game. I want to give you this star.”
“Do you want it?” he asked.
