Chapter 165 Driving Practice
"Lu Yuan, I'm doing pretty well in my driving test." Xu Lingjing tidied a stray hair behind her ear, flashed what she thought was her most perfect smile, and walked up to Lu Yuan. "We can practice together, and we can take the test together. Of course, if there's anything you don't understand, I can teach you."
Xu Lingjing's initiative greatly shocked the unsuspecting bystanders.
She is definitely the most beautiful female student at this driving school.
Recently, quite a few guys have been trying to get her contact information under various pretexts, hoping to get to know her, but unfortunately, she has politely declined them all.
Everyone assumed that Lu Yuan would be flattered and accept such a direct advance from the beautiful woman.
But to everyone's surprise, Lu Yuan simply waved his hand and refused decisively: "No need, you can continue learning at your own pace. I have my own plans."
His refusal was swift and decisive, leaving no room for politeness.
Despite being mentally prepared, Hsu Ling-ching still felt embarrassed and annoyed by this outcome.
She didn't expect that after so much time, Lu Yuan would still dislike her so much.
Could it be that Ye Yixian is truly a reincarnation of a vixen, capable of bewitching Lu Yuan to the point that he can no longer have room for any other girl?
Lu Yuan didn't look at her again, turned around and walked straight to the training car, intending to familiarize himself with the steering wheel he hadn't used in a long time.
"Xu, Lu Yuan is so ungrateful." Seeing this, Li Xian immediately swarmed over like a fly, trying to comfort Xu Lingjing. "Don't mind him, let's practice together. He definitely won't pass the driving test this time."
"Didn't I tell you? No one will think you're mute if you don't speak."
Xu Lingjing glanced at Li Xian with a look of disgust.
She was already upset because of the rejection, and Li Xian's incessant chatter only made things worse.
For some reason, Xu Lingjing just didn't think it was Lu Yuan's fault.
She stubbornly believed that there must be some other reason for this situation.
Is Li Xian too annoying?
Or was it because the weather was too hot today, or because learning to drive was too tiring?
Xu Lingjing searched her mind for every possible reason, but she was unwilling to admit that it was her own problem.
She blamed heaven, earth, and the whole world, but she wouldn't blame Lu Yuan even a little bit.
Jiang Yiqing, watching from a distance, sighed helplessly and muttered to herself, "How the tables have turned. Lingjing, aren't you just like Lu Yuan used to be?"
"Therefore, people will eventually become the very thing they once hated most."
……
This was Lu Yuan's first time learning the second stage of his driving test, at least that's how everyone saw it.
So, everyone at the driving practice area stopped practicing and ran to the sidelines to watch the excitement, wanting to see what kind of foolishness Lu Yuan, this "complete novice," would make on his first time touching the steering wheel.
After all, it's everyone's first time driving, so it's normal to feel nervous, unfamiliar, and clumsy. Who hasn't been scolded by their instructor?
Li Xian was the one who most wanted to see Lu Yuan make a fool of himself.
Coach He Jun was sitting in the passenger seat, preparing to instruct Lu Yuan on how to adjust the seat and rearview mirrors, but when he turned his head, he saw that Lu Yuan had already done it himself with ease.
Lu Yuan started adjusting the seat as soon as he got in the car.
Experienced drivers all have their own preferred driving distances. Strictly speaking, it had only been half a year since he last drove, and his muscle memory and feel for it were still clear.
After fastening his seatbelt, Lu Yuan placed his hands naturally on the steering wheel, looked at Coach He Jun, and calmly said, "Coach, I'm ready. What should we practice first?"
He Jun found it rather strange.
In his mind, a novice driver is so nervous when he first touches the steering wheel that he doesn't know where to put his hands and feet, let alone dare to move around on his own.
But Lu Yuan's practiced manner didn't seem like he was faking it.
He Jun suppressed his doubts and said, "Let's get familiar with the accelerator and brake first. Come on, drive forward in a straight line, stop at the marked line ahead, and then practice reversing."
"OK."
Lu Yuan nodded, gripped the steering wheel, looked ahead, and gently pressed the accelerator to make the car move smoothly in a straight line.
He Jun kept his right foot hovering over the side brake, afraid that Lu Yuan would floor the accelerator.
However, it turned out he had worried too much. Lu Yuan drove very steadily and stopped smoothly in front of the marked line, his operation was perfect.
"Good, get ready to back up." He Jun nodded in satisfaction.
He was just about to teach Lu Yuan how to shift into reverse when he saw Lu Yuan already operating it skillfully.
The car reversed smoothly and returned precisely to its starting position.
He Jun was quite surprised and couldn't help but ask, "Lu Yuan, is this really your first time driving?"
"Uh... I've played driving games before. I'm pretty brave and I pick things up pretty quickly... so you know what I mean, instructor?" Lu Yuan casually made up an excuse.
He Jun had nothing to say.
Driving in a straight line and simple reversing are indeed not difficult; even a daring newcomer can do them.
The only thing that surprised him was that Lu Yuan's handling of details was too experienced; he didn't seem like a novice at all.
However, it cannot be ruled out that Lu Yuan did a lot of homework in private to learn to drive, which is why he is so proficient.
After practicing driving in a straight line a few more times, He Jun confirmed that Lu Yuan had no fear of driving himself, so he prepared to let him start practicing reversing into a parking space.
Lu Yuan finished practicing straight driving in less than ten minutes.
Upon seeing this, Li Xian burst out laughing: "Hehe, I knew Lu Yuan wasn't good enough. He must have performed terribly and gotten criticized by the coach."
Just then, Lu Yuan got out of the car and walked back. Li Xian immediately went up to him and teased, "Lu Yuan, are you even capable? If not, beg me and I'll teach you."
Before Lu Yuan could even speak, Gao Zhe grabbed Li Xian by the neck from behind, laughing and cursing, "Why is your mouth so rude? If you disrespect my brother Yuan again, believe me, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
"Hey, we're all civilized people, give me a break... give me a break..."
Li Xian quickly backed down. He couldn't break free from the tall and strong Gao Zhe who had grabbed him.
"Alright, alright." Lu Yuan chuckled and patted Gao Zhe's arm, signaling him to let go. He then smiled slightly at Li Xian, "No need for you to teach me, teacher."
Then, he said to Gao Zhe, "Zhe, I plan to finish practicing the second part of the driving test in the next two days, and then go out for a trip."
"Lu Yuan, you're really good at bragging," Li Xian couldn't help but sneer. "There are five parts to the driving test in two days. Dream on!"
At this point, everyone was registering for C1 manual transmission, and the second part of the driving test does indeed require five items.
Even after practicing for so long, Li Xian couldn't guarantee that all five items would be completed perfectly, and he would still make mistakes from time to time.
The fifth event, the hill start, was particularly difficult for him, and he was scolded by his coach several times as a result.
Sometimes it's not that driving school instructors have bad tempers. After all, the content taught in driving school is all for safe driving on the road. If they are just being lenient and polite, the impression may not be as deep as if they were directly scolded.
Lu Yuan shamelessly claimed that he could finish learning it in two days, which was simply laughable.
"Say that again?" Gao Zhe raised his fist again, startling Li Xian into quickly backing away.
At this moment, Xu Lingjing and Jiang Yiqing also came over. Xu Lingjing said with concern, "Lu Yuan, you can't rush driving practice. Just treat Li Xian like an idiot and ignore him. Don't let his words upset you, just practice well."
"Yeah, Lu Yuan, take your time. We can wait for you to take the driving test together," Jiang Yiqing said with a smile.
What she was thinking was that if Lu Yuan learned slowly, she would have more time to spend with him this summer.
After all, Ye Yixian didn't come to take her driving test. With her, as his official girlfriend, absent, there were even more empty seats next to Lu Yuan.
