Episode 23 recap: Lin Zhendong's alter ego bids farewell to everyone.
When Lin Zhendong was young, he always pestered his father to tell him stories. However, his father would always tell the same story over and over again, and sometimes Lin Zhendong found it boring. His father had given up the entire family for his so-called ideals, but Lin Zhendong vowed that he would never follow his father's path and even surpass him.
Zhang Chi and his team are still making final adjustments to the car. Li Xiaohe is now very concerned about Lin Zhendong's situation and has informed Ye Ke that Lin Zhendong has not returned home and has not gone to the Wanshi Racing Team. Ye Ke is still somewhat worried about Lin Zhendong, so she quickly tells Ji Xing to prepare two cars at the scene, also to help Lin Zhendong.
The race is about to begin soon. Zhang Chi's qualification to participate in the race has not been revoked, but he has been heavily penalized. However, this incident still has a great impact on him, and he is still worried about Lin Zhendong. All the racers are speeding forward towards the finish line, hoping to achieve good results. However, Zhang Chi's performance today, although without mistakes, is not particularly good.
But this time, Lin Zhendong did not come to participate in the race, which surprised Li Xiaohe and the others. Lin Zhendong realized that his alter ego hadn't appeared for a long time, so he specially recorded a video in advance for him. Lin Zhendong also hopes he can go and see the Feichi Racing Team.
After returning, the Feichi Racing Team is also worried about Lin Zhendong not participating in the race this time. Ye Ke wants to call Lin Zhendong back, but there is no suitable excuse at the moment.
Wei Qianli introduced Hong Kuo to everyone and expressed that the team would cultivate him well. Although they said so, they had never paired Hong Kuo with a suitable driver, essentially not giving him any importance.
Zhang Chi found Shen Xiting and hoped that she could help him find Lin Zhendong. Both of them wanted Lin Zhendong to rejoin the race. Li Xiaohe and Ye Ke happened to arrive as well and discovered Zhang Chi hiding in the nearby bushes.
Their purpose for coming today was to invite Lin Zhendong to continue participating in the race. Just then, Zhang Chi's grandfather called Lin Zhendong and asked about the necklace. However, neither Lin Zhendong nor Zhang Chi had ever given his grandfather a necklace. They were surprised and thought his grandfather was speaking nonsense. Suddenly, Li Xiaohe realized that it might be something left by Zhang Chi from the future.
Subsequently, they quickly went to the nursing home and retrieved the necklace with a USB drive from Zhang Chi's grandfather's neck. After returning, Zhang Chi told Lin Zhendong about his alter ego, who was actually his future self. Although it felt absurd, that's how things unfolded.
Everyone watched the video contents on the USB drive together. It was left by Zhang Chi from the future, and he told them that if they were watching the video, it meant he might never come back again. This past half-year had been their extraordinary adventure. At times, Zhang Chi felt it was very worthwhile. If he could really have a chance to go back five years ago, perhaps some things wouldn't turn out the way they did in 2027. He realized he was a very selfish person and had taken many detours. Watching Zhang Chi's video, tears couldn't help but flow from everyone's eyes. Zhang Chi encouraged Lin Zhendong to bravely pursue his own dreams, as he could already become an outstanding racer.
Zhang Chi reflected on all the experiences he had in the past half-year. To have a chance to start over, he found it very worthwhile and didn't feel any regrets. He hoped that in the days to come, his younger self and his good friends would live their lives seriously and not have any regrets.
