Episode 21 recap: Lin Hao Decides to Participate in the Xinjiang Rally

In Episode 21, Ha Li Ke makes a special trip to the rehabilitation center to visit Lin Hao. This visit is not just a casual check-in; he brings the latest news about the Xinjiang Rally, hoping to encourage Lin Hao to consider participating. Lin Hao is both surprised and touched by Ha Li Ke's unwavering belief in him, knowing that he has a deep-seated determination to never give up.

Following this, Ha Li Ke travels to Haining to celebrate Xi Lin's birthday and capture these warm moments together. During their conversation, Xi Lin seriously asks Ha Li Ke if he has thought about leaving Dabu to settle in Haining. She has long-term plans and desires to be with Ha Li Ke, but as the only daughter, she also feels responsible for caring for her aging parents.

She realizes that even if they stay in Dabu, their time together will become scarce due to Ha Li Ke's increasing number of races. Thus, she suggests that they both move to Haining, believing it could be a win-win situation for both of them.

Lin Hao ultimately makes the decision to participate in the upcoming Xinjiang Rally. At the dinner table, he announces his choice to his family, and to his surprise, his parents not only support him but do so wholeheartedly. Lin Hao's father reflects on the past and realizes that during Lin Hao's surgery, he should have focused more on what truly makes his son happy. Since riding motorcycles is Lin Hao's passion, he decides to unconditionally support his son's dream.

Preparations for the Xinjiang Rally are progressing smoothly, attracting numerous sponsors. Hao Qiang has an idea: he hopes Dabu can serve as the starting point for the rally to promote the development of the Xingkong Camp project. However, due to the expansion of the event, which now includes a car category, this needs to be discussed and approved by the higher-ups, including investor Mr. Ye and Buick's representative.

Ultimately, Mr. Buick suggests making Dabu the finishing point of the rally, believing it would be an incredible honor for the local drivers to win on their home turf. Hao Qiang wholeheartedly agrees with this idea.

On the other hand, Ha Li Ke impulsively defends a child's father in front of the child, which leads to a conflict. The town mayor orders him to write a 3,000-word reflection as punishment. Xi Lin feels disappointed, hoping that Ha Li Ke could handle the situation more maturely and avoid violence. Meanwhile, Lin Hao frequently communicates with Shen Di to update him on his recovery, and Shen Di visits him at the hospital. They clear the air and exchange contact information again.

To ensure Dabu plays a significant role in the rally, Hao Qiang hosts a banquet for Mr. Ye, Mr. Zhao, and Mr. Buick. During the gathering, Mr. Buick announces the decision to make Dabu the rally's finishing point, which brings great relief to Hao Qiang. Mr. Zhao also shows his support for Ha Li Ke by investing 100,000 yuan to purchase his car shop, believing in the potential of this promising racer.

Meanwhile, Lin Hao presents flowers to Shen Di, sincerely apologizing and seeking forgiveness. They share a smile and embrace tightly, rekindling their friendship.
