How Did I Become an F1 Driver?-Chapter 871 - 347: Return to the Team

Meanwhile, on the other side, after Yu Jialiang returned to his group of friends, he didn't join the others in speculating about the new F1 season.

Instead, he pulled out his phone and started scrolling through the photos he had just taken with Qin Miao.

Although these photos couldn't prove that he had known Qin Miao before, the two photos and the contact information in his phone were enough to prove he knew Qin Miao.

"Ahem." After a light cough to attract his friends' attention, Yu Jialiang smiled and said, "I posted a picture in the group. See if it looks photoshopped."

"What's going on?" Although they were complaining, someone still took out their phone.

"Whoa?"

"Huh?"

"No way? When did this happen?"

On the phone, Yu Jialiang had posted a photo of himself with Qin Miao. The background was the Shanghai circuit, and in one corner of the photo, the three commentators from Five-Star Sports could be seen surrounded by a crowd.

As for it being photoshopped? No one even considered that possibility.

"I was just wondering why the person with the three Five-Star Sports commentators was fully geared up. Damn, that's Qin Miao???" One person held his head, crouched slowly to the ground, full of regret, disbelief, and lament.

"Yu Jialiang, you're really dead meat! If that was Qin Miao, why didn't you tell us earlier?!" Another, filled with shame and anger, lunged at Yu Jialiang, going for his neck.

Yu Jialiang quickly laughed and dodged, spreading his hands as he said, "I told you before, I know Qin Miao. Back then, you didn't believe me. When I saw him, I guessed it was him, confirmed it, and asked for a photo."

"Seriously? You're for real?"

Regardless, seeing his friends full of confusion, shock, disbelief, and regret, Yu Jialiang felt pleased.

For people like them, sometimes happiness is just that simple and pure.

...

The next day, Qin Miao went to film a variety show. Due to Qin Miao's status, throughout the recording, both the staff and celebrities were very courteous and respectful to him.

This was understandable; someone like Qin Miao, who relied on skill rather than face and fanbase like celebrities, was on a completely different level.

On the third day, Qin Miao spent his time at the studio that CCTV prepared for him.

After three consecutive days, Qin Miao finally completed most of his work in Shanghai.

On the fourth day, at seven in the morning, Zhou Guanyu woke up, finished freshening up, and intended to go to the gym to ask Qin Miao what he planned to eat for breakfast, so he could order takeout.

Then Zhou Guanyu found it surprising that Qin Miao hadn't gotten up at this time.

Zhou Guanyu scratched his head in confusion. As long as he'd known Qin Miao, he'd always perceived him as a very disciplined person. Zhou Guanyu had never seen Qin Miao lazy in bed.

After searching the house, he found Qin Miao in his room, still not awake.

Though somewhat surprised, Zhou Guanyu didn't disturb Qin Miao.

It wasn't until eleven in the morning that Qin Miao got up.

While Zhou Guanyu looked over the new season's race car R&D plans and development progress sent over by the Alfa Romeo team, he curiously asked Qin Miao, "What time did you sleep last night?"

Qin Miao looked into Zhou Guanyu's fridge, grabbed a bottle of milk, and answered, "I went to sleep at 11."

"Then why did you get up so late today?"

"I have no work today, so I slept in for once.

Besides, Qimeng is coming to Shanghai in two days, so it's rare for me to enjoy a lazy morning."

Zhou Guanyu was very surprised: "I remember you both have a pretty good relationship. What do you mean by that? Qimeng doesn't let you sleep in?"

Qin Miao sat opposite Zhou Guanyu and said helplessly, "Saying 'good relationship' isn't quite right; that term is for describing friends. With Qimeng, it should be described as stable or harmonious relationship."

After correcting Zhou Guanyu's mistake, Qin Miao explained, "It's not that issue. Our relationship has always been quite harmonious, but when you're married, you're together for about 300 days out of a year. Even though being with her is joyful, you can feel a sense of restriction.

How to put it... I don't know how to explain it to you.

Long story short, until you find someone who truly loves you and wants to spend a lifetime with you, you can't quite understand it, just like I didn't before."

"But you two aren't married, are you?"

"Can you stop being pedantic?"

"Ok!" Zhou Guanyu raised his hand in surrender. "Go ahead."

Qin Miao rubbed his brow and said, "It's those things you know are bad for your health but still want to do, and doing them makes you happy."

"Like staying up late to fish?"

Qin Miao snapped his fingers and pointed at Zhou Guanyu, "Exactly. But after you have a wife, you can't quite do those things.

Besides, there's all-night gaming."

Zhou Guanyu: ???

"I thought you might mention something eye-opening, like partying all night at a bar, or renting out an entire bar, riding a motorcycle through the streets at night, or spending a day in Macau."

Qin Miao glanced at Zhou Guanyu, "I'm not stupid. If Qimeng catches me doing these things, at most she'll complain, or I might apologize and she'll be fine. But if I really did the things you mentioned, she wouldn't even need to make a move; she'd just need to tell my mom, and my mom would rush to Shanghai with a feather duster and beat me up."
