“Hey… Why are you here?” Hunter walked towards Owen.
Owen put his arm around Hunter’s shoulder in a familiar way, “Brat, you’re awesome! You beat Ciel again! Last night, that guy drank until midnight and even threw up all over me.”
Hunter lowered his head and chuckled, then turned to hug Owen.
Owen was stunned for a moment but then patted Hunter on the back.
“I’m glad you’re okay,” Hunter said, speaking in a solemn tone for the first time.
“Sorry… my suspension malfunctioned, I almost injured you and Winston,” Owen sighed.
“If anything had really happened to you on the track, it would have haunted me for the rest of my life,” Hunter replied.
“Oh, I didn’t know I was so important to you,” Owen said with a smile.
“Of course you are important. Remember I used to race karts? I often watched you and Ciel compete. Back then, my dream was to become a racer like you guys. So Owen…”
“I understand.” Owen hugged Hunter back. “Because I was once your dream, I will definitely complete my journey perfectly and make you yearn for it forever.”
Hunter smiled brightly.
“Ciel always has a sullen face, but he’s as happy as I am. Without competitors like Winston and you, our days would be really boring. We’ve won many championships, so… more than those championships, we want worthy opponents.”
“Hahaha, then I will try to be a worthy opponent and make your lives difficult!”
“Cut it out, brat. The next stop is the Sepang Circuit. Winston won’t be able to attend, and you’ll have to face the onslaught of Ciel and me alone. Don’t cry if you lose.”
Owen smiled, pushed Hunter away, and then walked off.
Hunter sent a text message to Winston and found out that the Ferrari team had another media interview in the afternoon. Hunter could only have lunch with the team. Eating alone was boring, so Hunter thought for a moment and decided to call Donald.
“Hey, dear Donald, how about we have a party to celebrate your third place?”
Donald’s voice sounded choked when he answered the phone. How could he dare to have a party with Hunter? After thinking for a long time, he squeezed out a sentence, “Um… the next race is too close, and the team is strict. Let’s have a party next… next time?”
Hunter thought about it carefully. It seemed that since the last bunny girl party ended abruptly because this guy had diarrhea, he had always been evasive whenever they talked about partying. “How come I hear party sounds from your side? You’re so mean, having a party without inviting me! Let’s break up!”
Donald suddenly became flustered. “It’s… just an unremarkable pool party… It’s a Sauber team party… There aren’t any hot people, it’s extremely boring! Really!”
When Hunter heard that, his eyes lit up. A pool party! Donald hadn’t mentioned a word to him. How outrageous! It was really outrageous!
“No hot people, but how do you know if I like it or not!”
“No… it’s not that I don’t want to invite you… but if I dare to invite you, I’d be in trouble…” Donald’s voice sounded particularly sad.
“Huh? Inviting me will get you in trouble? What does that mean…” Two seconds later, Hunter suddenly realized, “Is it because of Winston?”
After the bar and club incidents, Hunter had a new understanding of Winston.
“You… you already know… so why are you asking me…” Donald’s voice sounded pitiful.
But just thinking about how this guy had been hiding it from him for so long, Hunter didn’t sympathize with him anymore.
“Then let me ask Winston if he’ll let me go, okay?” Hunter said.
“Huh? You’re asking him. You guys… are you guys together?” Donald said.
“It’s none of your business!”
“Ah… good! That’s good!”
“I said it’s none of your business! What’s so good about it!”
After saying that, Hunter hung up the phone and sent a message to Winston: I want to go to Donald’s pool party.
A few seconds later, Winston replied: You can go, but I don’t like other people touching you.
Hunter grinned from ear to ear and replied: I don’t like other people touching you either.
With a cheeky laughing emoji.
Hunter returned to the hotel to find his swimming trunks, then hummed a song as he went to find Donald.
The venue was on the top floor of a garden hotel, and even the pool was said to have a glass bottom. From the presidential suite on the top floor, you could see the swimmers’ movements.
Hunter was thinking about having fun with everyone in the pool and was even thinking about messing with Donald, the disloyal guy, by pushing him into the pool. It would be really cool. But when he got to the rooftop pool, he was completely stunned…
What kind of pool party was this! The men were wearing T-shirts and shorts, the women were wearing scarves, some were even wearing tank tops…
“Ah! Hunter, you’re here!” Donald opened his arms and enthusiastically hugged Hunter, “Let me introduce you to my friends!”
“Is it cold today? Why are you guys wearing so much at a pool party?” Hunter looked sullen.
“Well… the rooftop is windy. It’s easy to catch a cold if you wear too little…”
Hunter was as listless as a wilted flower.
“Don’t be sad, Hunter! We have all kinds of beer here! You’re allowed to drink in Singapore!”
“All right…”
It would have been better to just sleep in the room…
But Hunter was an easily satisfied guy, and he quickly became familiar with everyone, sitting on a beach chair and playing poker.
Although Hunter’s grades in middle school were average, he was particularly good at poker and won several rounds in a row.
It was no fun winning like this. Hunter thought for a moment, raised his hand, and said, “The loser has to jump in the pool!”
The Sauber team, of which Donald was a member, was also full of fun-loving people, and everyone agreed. By the time Donald realized what was happening and wanted to stop it, it was too late.
Hunter continued his winning streak, causing the beautiful men and women to jump into the pool one after another.
The young female assistants and marketing team members crawled out of the pool wet, the scarves and T-shirts that had been covering their bodies now clung to them, revealing everything clearly. Hunter laughed heartily with satisfaction.
However, the good times didn’t last long, and Hunter eventually lost.
Everyone cheered and lifted him high, throwing him straight into the pool with a splash. Fortunately, Hunter was prepared and didn’t choke on the water.
He stood in the middle of the pool, wiped the water from his face, and laughed along with everyone.
“Wow… I couldn’t tell when he was wearing a T-shirt, but Evan Hunter has a really good figure! Look at his waist. It’s so beautiful!”
A PR assistant was chatting with a colleague standing next to her.
“Yeah, I’d love to get him into bed. Did you see Mr. Cacho’s last interview? He’s super cute!”
Donald was on the verge of tears. Why does everyone like this brat? Why can’t you think about me for once? You guys can’t touch this brat, okay!
Hunter plunged into the water and swam toward the edge of the pool. When he emerged, he opened his eyes and saw a pair of leather shoes standing by the pool.
The exposed ankle was beautiful. Hunter praised it in his mind.
But when the person squatted down, Hunter realized it was Winston.
Hunter suddenly felt his taste was excellent. Every part of Winston looked so good.
“Want to play more?” Winston asked softly, then reached out and patted the top of Hunter’s head.
“Why are you here? Did Donald tell you?” Hunter squinted and tilted his head, looking like a cat being petted.
The female employees from Sauber behind him started whispering “cute” again.
“Mm.” Winston grabbed Hunter’s wrist and easily pulled him up.
Hunter had intended to mischievously pull Winston into the water, but Winston stood too firmly, as if he had been prepared. Even the corner of his mouth seemed to have a playful smile.
Hunter felt a bit resentful—he really couldn’t fool this guy!
“How about we go for dinner! They can’t beat me! I’m done playing!”
“Alright. Do you have clothes?”
“Yes, yes! I’ll change right away!”
Hunter waved to Donald. “I’m hungry. I’m going to have dinner with this guy!”
“Okay! Okay! Go ahead!” Donald seemed relieved.
Winston nodded slightly to Donald and said, “Thank you.”
The female staff on the scene started discussing again.
“Vann Winston is so handsome!”
“He’s still handsome even with that unapproachable look!”
Donald suddenly felt life was miserable: Ladies, don’t bother dreaming, Winston will never look at you in his life!
A few minutes later, Hunter came out wearing a dry T-shirt. The Sauber team members waved goodbye to him.
“Hunter! Come play with us again next time!”
“If you get bored with the Marcus team, join Sauber!”
After Hunter left, the Sauber team members surrounded Donald.
“Hey, you said if we wore clothes when Hunter came, you’d give us each a thousand dollars!”
“Here, here, here! I won’t go back on my word!”
“Speaking of which, why did you make that deal? I was planning to show off my perfect figure to Hunter!”
“Yeah, such a pity!”
Donald was speechless. Even if you show off your body, the other person must be receptive to appreciate it! After seeing Winston’s broad shoulders and long legs, you… are simply not worth looking at!
Winston took Hunter to a local restaurant to taste Singaporean cuisine.
Hunter had been in an incredibly good mood since last night, feeling constantly excited. Despite having slept for only a few hours, he wasn’t tired at all.
The Nyonya cuisine1Nyonya cuisine is a fusion of Chinese, Malay, Javanese, South Indian, and other influences, developed by the Peranakans, descendants of early Chinese migrants who settled in Southeast Asia. greatly whetted Hunter’s appetite. He had learned to use chopsticks from Winston during their trip to Japan, and though he was not yet very proficient, he could steadily pick up food with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.
While eating, Hunter observed Winston, who was sitting across from him.
“Why are you staring at me? You’re about to spill food on yourself.”
“You look so good!” Hunter blurted out without thinking.
Winston lowered his eyes, a clear smile on his lips.
“Then, who looks better, me or the bikini girls?” Winston asked.
At this moment, Hunter realized that maybe his attendance at the pool party might have upset Winston.
“You’re better looking.”
“Liar.” Winston smiled again.
Hunter suddenly realized that just being honest could make Winston smile, and whenever Winston smiled, Hunter felt extremely accomplished.
“Your eyes, nose, mouth, neck, shoulders, the waist to the legs, everything is super beautiful!” Hunter once again earnestly spoke the truth from his heart.
Winston’s smile hadn’t faded, which made Hunter increasingly happy.
“Most importantly… it’s all mine.” Hunter said with a squinting smile.
Winston rested his chin on his hand and turned his face away. Hunter tilted his face to follow and saw the laughter filling Winston’s eyes.
“If you enjoy pool parties so much, how about we go swimming tonight?” Winston said.
“Yeah! Yeah!”
The Malaysia race was approaching quickly, so the two couldn’t go out and have fun like they did after the Abu Dhabi race. But even just relaxing a bit made Hunter happy.
After their meal, Winston took Hunter to a rooftop pool at a hotel. This one had a glass roof. There was no wind, the water was warm, so there was no need to worry about catching a cold. You could lie in the water and look up at the stars.
Hunter changed into his swimming trunks, warmed up a bit, and then couldn’t wait to jump into the water. He lay near the edge, watching Winston walk out. Those two straight legs made Hunter’s heart itch again.
“Why is there no one at this pool?” Hunter asked knowingly, his eyes squinting with his smile.
Winston stood at the edge, leaned down, and whispered in Hunter’s ear, “I can’t do anything bad if there are people around.”
Hunter’s heart skipped a beat, and without thinking, he grabbed Winston’s arm and pulled him into the water.
He watched Winston sink, then slowly stand up, slicking back his wet hair. His water-stained face looked particularly sexy and alluring under the bright night sky.
Hunter licked his upper lip, recalling how he had once fantasized about pulling Winston into the bathtub, and suddenly felt hot.
“Does this satisfy your fantasy?” Winston leaned in close and asked softly.
Oh? Is he reading my mind now? How does this guy know exactly what I’m thinking?
“No! We haven’t kissed underwater yet!”
As soon as Hunter said that, he grabbed Winston’s shoulders and pushed him down, causing water to splash everywhere. Holding his breath beforehand, Hunter poured all his breath into Winston’s mouth, not giving him a chance to breathe.
Winston was submerged in the pool, with Hunter on top of him, greedily kissing his lips and tongue, so closely intertwined that no water could seep in.
The buoyancy underwater was difficult to control, and in less than two seconds, Winston was pressing down on Hunter. His kiss was powerful and suggestive, tickling Hunter’s mouth. In less than fifteen seconds, Hunter could no longer hold his breath.
Winston, anticipating this, immediately brought him to the surface, where Hunter started coughing.
“Do you still want to play?” Winston asked with a slight smile.
“Of course! Why not! You said that even in water, you could still make me cum?” Hunter blinked, his face full of curiosity.
Winston smiled, “We can try.”
Then he suddenly pinned Hunter against the edge of the pool, holding him underwater. Hunter almost screamed.
They played until the pool closed. Sitting in the car on the way back to the hotel, Hunter sighed deeply with regret.
“What’s wrong?” Winston asked from the side.
“From now on… pool parties hold no appeal for me anymore…” Hunter’s expression was sorrowful.
“Really? I thought you’d say that there’s now one more thing that appeals to you.”
“What?”
“Swimming with me,” Winston answered.
Hunter immediately shut his mouth and said no more.
The two returned to the hotel.
Winston, who was injured, could have gone back to England to recover, but he chose to go to Malaysia with Hunter instead.
That evening, Winston leisurely packed Hunter’s luggage while Hunter leaned against Winston’s back, reading the news on his phone. When Winston bent over, Hunter leaned back, and when Winston straightened up, Hunter sat up straight too. Though childish, Hunter found it very amusing.
“Hey… Lotus will change drivers for the Malaysia race.”
“Enzo is injured.”
“Yeah. Enzo will probably be out for at least three races. I’ve never heard of his replacement’s name before. How do you pronounce it? Shen Mobai?” Hunter tilted his head.
Winston paused for a moment before saying, “Chen Mobai.”
“Eh? You know him?”
“He’s a Chinese driver, and because of his excellent performance in F3, Lotus applied for an F1 license for him.”
“A Chinese driver? That’s rare!” Hunter scratched the back of his head.
Winston turned and gripped Hunter’s shoulders, speaking seriously, “Don’t let your guard down. Chen Mobai is no less skilled than Enzo.”
Hunter was stunned. Winston rarely acknowledged others’ abilities, so it seemed this Chen Mobai was really impressive.
“He’s great at brake control, cornering duels, and determining the optimal time to exit a turn. If he’s racing, you need to watch Owen and Ciel and be cautious about him sneaking up behind you.”
“I got it.” Hunter also became serious, then unconsciously repeated the driver’s name, “Chen Mobai…”
Suddenly, Winston kissed him on the lips. Hunter looked up at him.
“I don’t like you pronouncing another man’s name so seriously.”
Hunter’s heart fluttered.
“Hey! The only reason you can pronounce that Chinese name so well is because you’ve said it many times!” Hunter pretended to be displeased.
“In my entire life, I will never say anyone’s name more than yours,” Winston replied.
Hunter’s heart swelled again. Winston was not a man who would ever make vows like “eternal love.” Once he said something, he never changed his mind.
But no matter what kind of opponent he faced, Hunter was determined to defend his championship.
The next day, after lunch, Hunter followed his team to the airport. He felt a bit regretful about parting from Winston, but to his surprise, the Marcus and Ferrari team were on the same flight.
Upon entering the passenger cabin, Mr. Miller, the manager of the major team, greeted Marcus for the first time. Marcus was pleased and spoke to the PR manager next to him, “Did you hear that? Miller from Ferrari said hello to me!”
The PR manager sighed and whispered, “Aren’t you worried that Miller’s friendly gesture is an attempt to poach Hunter?”
With this reminder, Marcus immediately became vigilant, and his smile vanished. He looked back and could just see the top of Hunter’s head sticking out over the back of the seat. Winston was sitting next to him and Hunter was excitedly saying something to him.
Previously, Hunter always found flights boring and pointless, but this time, once the plane reached cruising altitude, he didn’t feel sleepy at all. Instead, he kept looking around, as if preoccupied with something.
“Do you want my eye mask?” Winston asked, turning his face.
Hunter leaned toward Winston and whispered, “Don’t you want to try it on the plane?”
Winston’s eyes paused, and Hunter knew he was also intrigued.
“Dummy, this isn’t a night flight. Two people squeezing into the bathroom together will immediately draw attention.”
Hunter sighed regretfully, “Everything in movies is a lie.”
Winston smiled, covered one of Hunter’s ears with his hand, and whispered, “Next time we’ll book a night flight.”
Hunter’s face turned bright red, and he lowered his head, muttering, “Hmm.”
“Give me your eye mask. I’m going to sleep.”
“Okay.” Winston handed him the eye mask. Hunter tilted his head, and within two minutes, he was softly snoring.
Marcus was particularly melancholic, “I keep feeling that Hunter will be lured away by Winston. Winston was so loyal that he blocked Owen’s car for Hunter. Whatever Winston says, he will definitely agree, right?”
Just thinking about how there were only a few races left in the season made Marcus anxious.
“Look at it another way. Winston was willing to forgo racing to protect Hunter. Maybe Hunter can lure him over to our team.”
It couldn’t be denied that the PR manager’s words were very comforting to Marcus.
By the time they arrived in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, it was already evening.
There were many hotels around the Sepang Circuit, though the two racing teams weren’t staying at the same one. Since Winston wasn’t competing, it didn’t matter where he stayed.
The Sepang Circuit is known for its many braking points, making it challenging to complete the race and overtake others, so the qualifying results were crucial.
This year, the Marcus team was using Ferrari engines, so there was no need to worry about horsepower. However, the car’s suspension system was demanding.
On their way to the hotel, they conveniently passed by the Sepang Circuit. Since its completion, this track has become a model for many new tracks.
Hunter gazed intently out the window.
“There’s nothing to worry about. The suspension system is Little Xi’s area of expertise. Even Ferrari and Mercedes can’t find a suspension system engineer comparable to her,” Winston said from beside him.
“Oh, that’s true!” Hunter squinted his eyes and laughed.
Deep down, Hunter still felt uneasy because Winston wasn’t participating in this race. In the past, even though they were rivals, as long as Winston was on the track, Hunter knew where his target was.
“It’s hotter here than in Singapore…” Hunter tugged at his collar.
“Mm, this is one of the hottest races of the season. The high temperature and humidity will make you lose more water.”
“Yeah.”
“I’ve talked to Shen Chuan, and the team must thoroughly check the water supply system in your car.” Winston rubbed Hunter’s forehead.
Hearing Winston’s words, Hunter felt reassured. He suddenly remembered last year on this very track, Winston’s water supply system2During races, high track and cockpit temperatures cause significant water and fat loss, making hydration essential. Drivers control a water supply system using a button on the steering wheel. malfunctioned, yet he still managed to fiercely complete the last third of the race without any hydration. This man indeed had godlike endurance.
“The Sepang track has many corners and a relatively rough surface, so tire wear is quite high. You must carefully evaluate the track during the free practice session to develop a suitable strategy for the main race.”
“I got it.” Hunter nodded.
On the first night in Malaysia, the team didn’t schedule any activities, allowing the drivers to adjust to the weather conditions. Winston went jogging with Hunter near the hotel, but it was clear that Hunter was tense. His body kept pace with Winston, but his mind seemed to be miles away.
“Hunter,” Winston stopped him just before he almost ran into a palm tree.
“Huh?”
Coming to his senses, Hunter realized he was being hugged by Winston.
Tourists around them were looking their way. Hunter felt embarrassed and tried to step back, but Winston held him tightly.
“You don’t need to be nervous.”
“…Mm.” Hunter nodded.
“And you don’t need to put too much pressure on yourself. You don’t need to fight for anything for me. Just be yourself.”
Hunter rubbed his nose. “I guess I’m still immature, right?”
“It’s not that you’re immature, it’s that you care too much about me,” Winston said.
“I really want to… win the championship again and give it to you.”
The author has something to say:
Winston: There will be many more parties with you and me in the future.
Hunter: Exciting! Like what?
Winston: Submarine party, red wine party, Italian chandelier3 Italian chandelier is a sex position, I won’t put a photo but you can google if interested party…
Hunter: Wait, I can imagine the first two, but what’s the third one?
