Chapter 16 Crossing the Finish Line
Three nights later, I followed Shen Zong to the racetrack. The stands were packed with a sea of people.
His popularity was even bigger than I had pictured.
I stood outside the track and watched car after car streak past like lightning on every curve.
In the end, a black Ferrari shot across the finish line first at incredible speed.
Amid the waves of gasps and cheers, the car door opened. Shen Zong took off his helmet and looked straight through the surging crowd toward me.
My eyes suddenly felt hot.
The moments I missed—I finally got to witness them.
All around, voices roared. Shen Zong walked through the crowd step by step toward me.
Just like back then, when I rear-ended his car.
He strode toward me with long steps.
Our eyes met.
Both our hearts skipped half a beat.
I never told Shen Zong.
The first time I saw him, I fell for him too.
