I will give you a chance to rephrase that.
The spectators watching the race were completely dumbfounded and struck completely blank when they saw the black Ferrari Portofino maneuver sideways through the narrow gap to complete a magnificent overtaking!
Even the commentator in the broadcast booth had his eyes wide open, having completely forgotten how to report the live situation on the field!
Only the camera crew reacted with quick wit and sharp reflexes, repeatedly replaying that brief moment on the large screen where Xue Tian'ai had slipped sideways through the gap to pull off the gorgeous pass!
At this moment, almost everyone present kept their eyes glued to the replay on the big screen!
What on earth was speed? What was passion? What was madness?
This, damn it, was what auto racing was all about! Some people even thought that the scene they had just witnessed was an illusion, while others doubted whether a human being was actually driving that car at all?!
This jet-black Ferrari had brought them way too many shocks tonight! Be it those acceleration corners and continuous drifts that were so perfect they defied flaw, or that breathtakingly stunning full-throttle nitrogen boost close to the ground, or even that final precise and clean sideways overtake!
This pure black Ferrari was rewriting their understanding of racing again and again, stimulating their nerves at every single moment of the viewing experience!
The outcome had actually been decided at this point. With yet another perfectly executed drift, Xue Tian'ai, having overtaken two cars, was now driving the pitch-black Ferrari through the final corner of the track!
The remaining stretch of road was nothing more than a straight and spacious path!
The roar of the engine had reached its peak, and the speedometer hit its absolute maximum at this very moment as Xue Tian'ai ignited the final burst of nitrous oxide remaining in the tank.
Roaring like a flaming arrow released from a taut bowstring, the jet-black Ferrari shot toward the black-and-white checkered finish line!
The moment the black lightning pierced the finish line, the screech of tires grinding against the ground rang out. After kicking up a trail of sparks, Xue Tian'ai brought the car to a halt!
The crowd exploded! The entire venue erupted in an instant! The wave of passion was pushed to its ultimate peak!
Starting a full minute late, he had pulled off the most magnificent comeback, and upon crossing the finish line, he was way ahead of all the other competitors!
They had witnessed the most brilliant comeback performance of their lives, and the driver of that black Ferrari had delivered a truly legendary show for them!
"Oh my god! Tonight is an absolute upset! Our newcomer has emerged from obscurity to claim the crown! Let us congratulate the new champion!" The commentator was yelling at the top of his lungs, completely disregarding so-called broadcasting techniques or speaking tones! Sheer excitement was all that mattered!
"Oh! Brother-in-law, we're first! We're number one!" Cen An'an in the passenger seat was overcome with extreme excitement. She had already unbuckled her seatbelt and hugged Xue Tian'ai tightly as she shouted.
"Naturally. Didn't I tell you before? In this young master's dictionary, the word 'second' is simply not allowed to exist!" Xue Tian'ai let Cen An'an hug him in her excitement, speaking calmly and lazily.
Even winning a world-class championship would be nothing out of the ordinary for Xue Tian'ai, let alone a competition of this scale...
"Brother-in-law, you were just too handsome when you were driving! So cool! Freaking awesome!" Cen An'an looked at Xue Tian'ai with a gaze full of adoration as she continued.
"This young master has always been extremely handsome, okay? Otherwise, how could I have your older sister wrapped around my finger?" Xue Tian'ai brushed back his hair with a cocky expression and then flashed a dashing smile.
"Not just my sister, even An'an is getting wrapped around your finger!" Cen An'an felt right now that Xue Tian'ai was just like Doraemon—good-looking, formidable in a fight, a fantastic cook, skilled at street racing, and incredibly gentle to boot!
With a surge of excitement, Cen An'an lunged forward, wrapped her arms around Xue Tian'ai's neck, and planted a flurry of kisses right on his face... Since her brother-in-law was this wonderful and such a great opportunity was right in front of her, she had to take advantage of it!
Xue Tian'ai could only feel a wave of helplessness at this moment. This little sister-in-law of his...
"Tap! Tap! Tap!" Just as Xue Tian'ai was being hugged and kissed on the cheek by Cen An'an, a sudden knocking sound echoed against the car window...
"Hey, hey, hey, An'an, someone's here, someone's here. Mind your image!" Xue Tian'ai glanced outside the window and gently patted Cen An'an's back as he spoke.
Cen An'an snapped back to reality at that moment. But the second she saw the people waiting outside the window, her little face turned burning red. She pushed the car door open and hopped out, followed closely by Xue Tian'ai stepping out from the driver's seat.
Countless audience members and camera lenses had been locked onto the driver's seat of the pure black Ferrari all along, with many eager to see what the person who drove this flawless race actually looked like.
Therefore, the moment Xue Tian'ai stepped out of the vehicle, a wave of cheers erupted from various spectator zones. Many people had not expected the driver to be so handsome and so young, especially some female racing enthusiasts whose eyes went completely wide and fixed on him!
"It looks like our timing wasn't quite right, interrupting the two of you!" The short-haired girl, Tang Fangling, teased Xue Tian'ai and Cen An'an with a knowing smile, while a few other girls covered their mouths with ambiguous, amused grins.
Ever since Xue Tian'ai locked down his victory, Tang Fangling and her friends had left the stands and headed to the finish line to wait. They originally wanted to properly congratulate Cen An'an, but after not seeing Cen An'an step out of the car for quite a while, they had no choice but to walk over to check the situation... and then they stumbled upon that intimate scene just now.
"No way, I was just kissing my sister... I mean, Tian'ai a few times..." Cen An'an hurriedly tried to argue her way out with a blushing face, but halfway through, she suddenly realized something sounded off and quickly corrected herself.
"Sis... Tian'ai? An'an, isn't your boyfriend named Xue Tian'ai?" One of the girls chimed in with a question at that moment.
"Yeah, his name is Xue Tian'ai. You must have misheard just now... Hahahaha..." Cen An'an panicked slightly and rushed to reply.
Looking at this scene, Xue Tian'ai let out a helpless shake of his head. Letting this little sister-in-law arbitrarily assign him identities had almost blown his cover completely...
"I'm sorry, Uncle!" Right as Xue Tian'ai was sighing to himself, the short-haired girl Tang Fangling walked right up in front of him and bowed deeply with utmost respect.
Xue Tian'ai was left somewhat dumbfounded by Tang Fangling's gesture.
"I'm sorry, Uncle!" "I'm sorry, Uncle!" "I'm sorry, Uncle!" While Xue Tian'ai was still stunned, the other girls walked over as well, bowing to him and repeating the exact same words...
Seeing those four lowered heads, Xue Tian'ai instantly found himself at a loss for what to do.
"What is wrong with the four of you? Why are you apologizing to Tian'ai?" Cen An'an also noticed Xue Tian'ai's confusion and surprise, so she took the initiative to ask.
"An'an, actually I should apologize to you too!" Tang Fangling raised her head and said.
"Yeah, yeah, An'an, we are truly sorry to both you and Uncle!" another girl chimed in.
"Before this, we doubted whether Uncle was just full of smooth talk, and we questioned whether Uncle really liked you. We doubted Uncle so many times! In truth, that meant we didn't truly trust you, An'an!"
"Even though Uncle is so capable and so handsome, and treats you so gently, we still doubted him and failed to believe in your choice. So, we are deeply sorry!"
Hearing these words, Cen An'an and Xue Tian'ai suddenly understood the whole story.
"Hahahaha, what's there to apologize for? When it comes down to it, you were all just worried about me! It's no big deal at all, really. Tian'ai isn't that kind of person, you can rest easy!" Cen An'an hurriedly offered comfort.
Indeed, Xue Tian'ai hadn't paid too much mind to what those four young girls had said earlier—after all, they were just kids!
However! He thought to himself: didn't these four girls realize yet that he was not an uncle? Calling him "uncle" was something he should mind much more!
At that very moment, the final competitor of the race crossed the finish line. Before the car even came to a complete stop, a person shoved the passenger door open, jumped straight out of the vehicle, and marched toward Xue Tian'ai with a ferocious expression on his face.
Xue Tian'ai naturally noticed. When he saw who was approaching, his gaze narrowed slightly, and a mocking smile instantly tugged at the corner of his lips: "Oh, you've finally arrived."
"How could you possibly be first?! I don't believe it! I don't believe it! You definitely cheated! That's right, you must have cheated!" There was no doubt that this person was Gou Gou, who had made a wager with Xue Tian'ai. At this moment, Gou Gou's facial features were completely distorted, and his eyes blazed with fury as he stared at Xue Tian'ai.
Earlier, Gou Gou's car had spun out of control and been written off. He had simply hitched a ride to the finish line in the car of the last-place finisher, only to see Xue Tian'ai's photo plastered on the big screen alongside the video of him crossing the line in that black Ferrari.
Instantly, the fires of jealousy in Gou Gou's heart had raged out of control, and his face burned with humiliating pain. How could a pretty boy he had looked down upon possibly be this strong?! He refused to believe it! He was convinced there must have been some shady business behind Xue Tian'ai's miraculous comeback and victory!
"A bet is a bet, and the fact is that you lost. Instead of coming over here to question me right now, shouldn't you be stripping naked and running around the track while barking like a dog?" Xue Tian'ai felt he had overestimated Gou Gou after all; he hadn't expected Gou Gou's mental fortitude to be this fragile, nor that his character could be rotten to such an extreme degree!
When Cen An'an and the other girls saw Gou Gou behaving like this, a wave of utter disgust washed over them. How could a person be so shameless to such a degree?
"Hey! The car my Tian'ai drove was provided by your own event organizers, and the entire race was recorded on video! Furthermore, Tian'ai gave you a massive head start—he started a whole minute late! If you suck, don't go around questioning others, okay? Hurry up and follow through on your bet!"
"What did you just say, you little bitch?" Being cursed at so bluntly only made Gou Gou fly into an even greater rage! "Do you believe that I'll fu—"
Before Gou Gou could finish his sentence, his entire body was lifted off the ground!
In a flash of motion, Xue Tian'ai had already appeared right in front of him, grabbing Gou Gou by the throat with one hand and hoisting him straight up into the air!
"I'll give you one more chance to rephrase your sentence!" Xue Tian'ai's face was now shrouded in dark clouds, his voice cold and menacing, while his eyes locked onto Gou Gou were filled with biting frost!
