Chapter 166 Love is Rare
Although Gao Zhe blindly trusted Lu Yuan, reason told him that learning the second stage of the driving test in two days was something no normal person could do.
Others might not know, but he had known Lu Yuan for so many years, and he knew perfectly well whether Lu Yuan had ever touched a steering wheel before.
At least, Lu Yuan had never driven a sedan.
Lu Yuan seemed full of confidence. He simply smiled at the doubts and even ridicule from those around him, turned around, got into the training car, and started practicing reversing into a parking space.
Li Xian continued to chatter on the sidelines, insisting that Lu Yuan would definitely not be able to learn it.
Coach He Jun naturally didn't think Lu Yuan could do it either, and kindly advised him to watch the instructional videos several times and memorize the reversing tips before trying.
But Lu Yuan insisted that he was fine, and He Jun, as the coach, could only let him give it a try.
Surprisingly, Lu Yuan reversed into the parking space perfectly on his first try.
He Jun was stunned, Li Xian, who was prepared to laugh at him, was dumbfounded, and even Gao Zhe, Xu Lingjing and Jiang Yiqing were greatly surprised.
It should be noted that these individuals were already considered quite talented, and even so, it took them three or four days of practice to barely master the reverse parking maneuver.
Lu Yuan's first attempt was impeccable, which was astonishing.
He Jun got out of the car in disbelief and inspected it. It wasn't over the lines, the car was parked perfectly straight, and there wasn't a single flaw.
"Coach, is it okay?" Lu Yuan poked his head out and asked with a smile.
He Jun nodded, then asked with a surprised expression, "You secretly learned it yourself?"
"Uh... I've watched video tutorials, but it's all just theory." Lu Yuan chuckled and made up an excuse.
"So you're the real genius," He Jun couldn't help but exclaim. "Then practice it again yourself."
This time, He Jun simply didn't sit in the passenger seat and stood on the sidelines watching Lu Yuan drive himself.
Lu Yuan couldn't have been happier.
He Jun was sitting next to him, and he was worried that some of his subconscious, experienced actions might give him away, so he was a little reserved.
Now that He Jun has gotten out of the car, he has complete control of it and is naturally more unrestrained in his actions.
Unsurprisingly, Lu Yuan once again perfectly reversed into the parking space.
He Jun stood on the sidelines, still unable to find any fault with the performance.
He simply said, "Not bad, how about parallel parking? Have you learned it?"
"I've learned it, I can give it a try," Lu Yuan replied.
"Okay, then give it a try."
He Jun walked to the side parking spot and gestured for Lu Yuan to drive the car over there.
As expected, Lu Yuan completed the parallel parking maneuver with effortless grace.
With such skillful maneuvering, if Lu Yuan hadn't insisted that he had only watched instructional videos and had never actually driven a car, He Jun would have suspected that he was an experienced driver who had retaken his driving test.
Next came the right-angle bend, the S-curve, and the hillside parking, all of which Lu Yuan completed perfectly.
He Jun watched from the sidelines the whole time, and finally said helplessly, "Alright, go home now."
"What's wrong, Coach? Are you kicking me out?" Lu Yuan poked his head out and asked, puzzled.
"Why bother practicing anymore? You've already learned it. Just wait until the time comes and register for the driving test (Part 2)."
He Jun was both amused and exasperated.
He doesn't know whether it's a good thing or a bad thing to have trained such a student, which makes him seem like a superfluous coach.
The coach went back to the lounge to enjoy the air conditioning.
Since Lu Yuan is so talented, He Jun simply let him train with Gao Zhe and the others, and give them some guidance as well.
Peers provide mutual guidance, reducing pressure, and most importantly, he, as the coach, can take it easy.
Gao Zhe is bold and willing to take risks, but he lacks attention to detail. As long as he practices more diligently, he should have no problem passing the exam.
Although Xu Lingjing and Jiang Yiqing were a bit timid, they were meticulous and, despite being a little slow, were able to complete all the tasks very well.
Only Li Xian, who is neither as courageous as Gao Zhe nor as meticulous as the two girls, is stuck in the middle, neither here nor there.
The more successful others are, the more anxious he becomes; the more anxious he is, the more likely he is to make mistakes.
Lu Yuan finally got the chance to give Li Xian a good "spur".
Taking advantage of the coach's absence, he deliberately increased Li Xian's practice load, making him practice over and over again, and making him start over whenever he made a mistake.
Soon, Li Xian was suffering terribly on the field, while Lu Yuan and the others leisurely went to rest under the shade of a tree.
Gao Zhe leaned closer and asked, "Brother Yuan, what did you mean when you said you were going out?"
"Oh, right, it's important." Lu Yuan remembered this and said, "I'm planning to go to the provincial capital in the next couple of days."
"Why are you going to the provincial capital?"
"Of course we should go to the clothing wholesale market to investigate. Don't forget, whether you can have a billionaire brother-in-law in the future depends on whether we can seize this opportunity to make a fortune."
"Sigh!" Hearing this, Gao Zhe sighed deeply, seemingly somewhat frustrated. "I never imagined it would be so difficult for my sister to find a man."
"It wouldn't be difficult for your sister to find a man," Lu Yuan corrected him. "With her looks and qualities, if she just let loose a little, finding a boyfriend would be a piece of cake. What she really finds difficult... is finding genuine love."
"Love." This field was still too unfamiliar to Gao Zhe.
When this topic came up, Lu Yuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Love is so rare."
"Isn't your relationship with Ye Yixian in love? It's not hard to see you two together." Gao Zhe scratched his head.
Gao Zhe is right.
Lu Yuan was very grateful that he had been reborn, and he firmly chose Ye Yixian.
However, the price for all of this was more than ten years of humility and suffering in my previous life.
Lu Yuan didn't want to dwell on this heavy topic, so he simply mentioned his plan to conduct research at the provincial capital's clothing wholesale market.
He only planned to go for two days. His university acceptance letter was coming soon, and he definitely needed to pick it up in person at home. If he went too long and missed it, he would feel regretful.
As they were talking, a fragrant breeze wafted over, and two graceful figures blocked the sunlight.
Looking up, I saw Xu Lingjing and Jiang Yiqing.
"Lu Yuan, are you thirsty? Have some water." Xu Lingjing smiled sweetly and handed a bottle of water to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan looked at the bottle of water, intending to politely refuse, but Xu Lingjing seemed to have expected it, quickly shoving the water into his arms and saying coquettishly, "I've already bought it, you can't just not drink it, can you?"
Lu Yuan had no choice but to think that he wouldn't lose out by taking a bottle of water for free, and Xu Lingjing couldn't possibly cause a huge fuss over this bottle of water.
"What about mine?" Gao Zhe protested, displeased. "This is discrimination!"
"Then you can drink mine," Jiang Yiqing said with a smile, handing her unopened bottle of water to Gao Zhe.
Gao Zhe didn't stand on ceremony at all; he took the bottle, unscrewed the cap, and drank it right away.
Suddenly, everyone's roles seemed to have changed.
Lu Yuan became like Xu Lingjing, always enjoying her flattery; while Gao Zhe became like Jiang Yiqing, basking in her favor.
Of course, Lu Yuan was not complacent about this role change; he did not want to become someone like Xu Lingjing.
"Lu Yuan, you're such a great driver!" Xu Lingjing sat down next to Lu Yuan with a smile, her eyes sparkling with admiration. "Could you teach me these next couple of days? I feel like it would be more effective if you taught me."
Faced with Xu Lingjing's request, Lu Yuan smiled faintly and said, "I can teach you, no problem."
Upon hearing this, Xu Lingjing was overjoyed, feeling that her sincerity had finally moved Lu Yuan.
Before he could even enjoy his happiness for two seconds, Lu Yuan slowly added, "But we are men and women, after all. I'll go back and ask my girlfriend. If she minds, then I definitely can't teach you."
"girlfriend……"
Xu Lingjing's smile froze instantly, and Ye Yixian's image involuntarily surfaced in her mind.
Lu Yuan's words were perfectly flawless, without any problems whatsoever.
To Xu Lingjing, it was no different from stabbing her in the heart with a knife.
