After finishing his makeup, Xiao He immediately changed into a handsome racing suit.
This is a red and white racing suit, which was tailored to fit Xiao He's body data in advance by the costume designer of the crew. When he zipped the collar all the way up, the high-elastic fabric of the suit fit snugly against the lines of his shoulders and back, while fully revealing the number seven racing driver logo on his chest, making him look particularly tall and capable.
The costume designer wanted to kneel down to help Xiao He adjust his trouser legs, but Xiao He politely declined.
He skillfully squatted down, tightened his trouser legs to his ankles with Velcro, tucked them into his racing boots, then tightened his cuffs, put on professional racing gloves, and carefully inspected his helmet.
Yes, the crew prepared everything very professionally, and there were no problems.
Xiao He was already feeling an itch in his hands, and his blood was boiling.
Since acquiring the cheat code to driving skills, he has rarely used this skill, and he hardly ever has the chance to drive at all.
But who doesn't love cars?
The roar of the accelerator lingered in my ears, and then the world rushed past my eyes. My body was pushed to its limits, and every drift left a trail of afterimages... This was undoubtedly an adventure of speed and passion.
"It seems you know a bit about racing." A man speaking Mandarin with a distinct foreign accent walked up from behind Xiao He.
Xiao He glanced over and saw ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) that it was a man also wearing a racing suit.
The other person had very fair skin, looked very young, had some freckles on their face, deep-set eyes, and slightly blue eyes. Their golden hair was a bit messy, giving them a very casual look.
He must have been one of the technical assistants mentioned by Xu Fu.
"Um."
Xiao He wasn't quite sure why he had come over to talk to him, so he just gave a soft reply.
The stylist then pulled Xiao He aside to fix his hairstyle, ensuring that Xiao He's hair would still look his best when he took off his helmet later.
"How many years have you studied? Have you participated in any competitions?"
The man next to him arrogantly sized Xiao He up and down, then continued to press him relentlessly.
"I've only been learning for a week at most, and I've participated in one or two city-level competitions. I haven't participated in any others."
Xiao He answered casually.
"A week? Ha—"
The man scoffed, "Another newbie pretending to be an expert. None of you speak the truth."
He then turned and left, appearing completely uninterested in Xiao He.
Xiao He was puzzled: "What's wrong with him?"
It looks like a firecracker.
The stylist leaned close to Xiao He's ear and whispered, "This guy's name is O'Den. He's supposedly a well-known race car driver in the US. He's here on set as a technical assistant because of Director Zhuang."
"oh."
The makeup artist who touched up Xiao He's makeup chimed in: "He seems to have always had a lot of opinions about Brother Xiao. When he came before, he kept suggesting that the crew find a stunt double and not let an amateur driver do the job. In the end, Director Ning insisted that Brother Xiao do the job and not find a stunt double."
Xiao He seemed to understand something, and said, "Actually, what he said makes some sense. After all, racing is a dangerous sport."
At high speeds, even a minor scrape or collision can lead to a fatal accident.
So this guy named O'Dern didn't want amateur actors to film with them, which was also due to certain safety considerations.
Unfortunately, while he can't be considered a professional race car driver, he's not a complete novice either.
Oudern's worries were completely unnecessary.
"Anyway, Brother Xiao, please take care of yourself. Speed is not important; safety is the most important thing."
The makeup artist didn't say anything more, but instead encouraged Xiao He.
"OK, thanks."
Xiao He stood up, holding his helmet in one hand, and walked outside.
Liu Rulan and Xiao Chen were both standing outside. Liu Rulan was discussing the specific filming arrangements with assistant director Xu Fuxue, while Xiao Chen was staring longingly at a red and white striped race car parked by the track, her eyes shining.
"Brother Xiao."
Upon seeing Xiao He approach, Xiao Chen immediately greeted him warmly.
Others also looked over at the sound, and were then drawn to the young man with his outstanding demeanor and tall, long legs.
Xiao He's handsomeness was once considered aggressive.
Because his handsomeness is mixed with a hint of danger, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, so that when people first see him, the first thing that comes to mind is not "this person is so handsome", but "this person is so dangerous".
That's the instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm that's ingrained in people's bones, and the first instinct they follow in their hearts.
At this moment, Xiao He seemed more like Shu Yuxiu in disguise.
With her perfect figure of broad shoulders and narrow waist, she exudes confidence and a gentle smile, a touch of wildness amidst her elegance, and her gaze, though sharp, is devoid of any emotion.
He is a noble young man with absolute masculine charm, and also a spirited professional race car driver on the track.
Several young female staff members watching at the scene blushed.
“Xiao He, I’ve already made the arrangements. After you get in the car, you can take a drive around to familiarize yourself with the area. Then, when you come back here, we’ll officially start having the technical assistants follow behind you.”
Xu Fuxue was also struck by the feeling, but he naturally wouldn't empathize like the young girls. Instead, he was very satisfied with how well Xiao He's character was portrayed and happily called Xiao He over.
Liu Rulan remained calm. With her extensive experience, she was not at all overwhelmed by the good looks of these young men. Instead, she seriously reminded Xiao He, "Safety first."
Xiao He nodded: "Don't worry, Sister Liu!"
However, once Xiao He actually got into the race car, all those instructions were instantly forgotten.
"Buzz—Buzz—"
With a deafening roar as the engine tore through the air, before anyone could react, the red and white race car had already launched itself, its tires scraping across the asphalt, leaving a trail of black smoke on the track, before the entire car hurtled along the ground and shot off—
All that was left for everyone was the silhouette of a car speeding towards freedom.
The staff who were originally waiting in place, ready to deal with any different situations: ?
The other professional racers standing beside their cars, preparing to enter the track in a moment: ?
Xu Fuxue and Xiao Chen were dumbfounded: ?
Note: The phrase "目瞪狗呆" here is not a typo.
Before anyone could even react to what they were seeing, the red and white race car had already drawn a silver arc with lightning speed, leaving a trail of light so fast it was just a blur at the bend, before nimbly driving onto the straight track.
"Holy crap."
Xiao Chen grabbed Liu Rulan's arm, his voice almost cracking with excitement: "Sister Liu, my Brother Xiao is fucking incredibly handsome!"
Liu Rulan stared in astonishment at the car: "It is indeed surprising."
"Is this a professional race car driver?"
"His cornering was so cool!"
The foreign drivers on the sidelines were also surprised and were exchanging words with each other in English.
Clearly, they hadn't expected that the actor Xiao He could achieve such speed.
However, before they could reach a conclusion, O'Dean had already put on his helmet and gotten into the car.
As the red and white race cars sped past them again, O'Dern's car also surged forward.
"Hey, why did it just run away—"
Xu Fuxue wanted to stop them, but the remaining drivers exchanged glances and were also inspired to compete. They put on their helmets, got into their cars, and rushed out to chase after the red and white race car.
Xu Fu was dumbfounded as he inhaled the trail of exhaust fumes.
Didn't we agree that Xiao He would run a few laps first?
Why did you all run out?!
