I always end up tossing and turning until the early hours before I can fall asleep.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Miao laughed and, while waving to the spectators on the sidelines, responded, \"Stop watching random things before bed, run five kilometers, and I guarantee you'll sleep like a log.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut up, will you? I really don't watch anything at night. I just shower and go to bed when I get back to the hotel, but I still can't sleep well.\" Although Leclerc seemed troubled, given that it was an event in front of fans, he maintained a smiling face and continued to engage with the audience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Miao thought for a moment: \"Sorry, I've never experienced that sensation, so I can't offer any help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I do have a rather radical idea.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leclerc curiously asked, \"What idea?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Find a stick, and knock yourself on the head before bed. That should work.\" As he spoke, Qin Miao made a motion as if hitting his own head with a stick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get lost. If I hit myself like that, I might not be able to get up and race the next morning.\" Leclerc retorted with a laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I'm powerless.\" Qin Miao shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leclerc showed a troubled expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But seriously, if worse comes to worst, you could consult a well-known Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner. Drinking herbal medicine might ease your symptoms, but you have to find a reputable one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is there any TCM here in America? I'll check it out after the race.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have no idea,\" Qin Miao replied, full of innocence. \"I only know that our country's TCM is great at body conditioning, but I've been in excellent health, eating well from a young age, and except for vaccinations, I've never been to a hospital.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leclerc: (▼ヘ▼#)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the slightly annoyed look on Leclerc's face, Qin Miao suddenly remembered he wanted to ask Leclerc for a photo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since this was the driver parade, technically Qin Miao was still on duty, so he didn't pull out his phone to take a picture with Leclerc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, after the driver parade ended, Qin Miao found Leclerc just as he was about to leave, put an arm around his shoulder, and took a selfie with Leclerc's confused expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leclerc wasn't unaccustomed to being asked for photos—F1 drivers being asked for selfies by fans is pretty common.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Leclerc never expected that one day his own friend would come up, put an arm around his shoulder, and take a photo like a fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it was someone he didn't know doing this, Leclerc could accept it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was Qin Miao who did it, and looking at his face, Leclerc couldn't help but feel awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's useful, don't worry about it.\" Qin Miao said while looking down to check if the photo was clear, answering without even raising his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leclerc laughed in frustration: \"Taking a photo with me without my permission technically infringes on my image rights. I've already shown you enough courtesy by not suing you, and now you're giving me this attitude?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'll give you a chance to rephrase.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm sorry, my bad.
