Chapter 17 Fear of Death
Chapter 17 Fear of Death
17
After driving for half an hour, Jiang Yanci saw Wenjiu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, staring out the window in boredom, and asked: "
Can you drive?"
Wenjiu looked back at him. Although she didn't understand why Jiang Yanci asked this question, she answered truthfully:
"I passed the driving test, but I have rarely driven myself." After a pause, she seemed to think of something and questioned:
"You are not going to let me drive?"
Jiang Yanci didn't say anything, but just pulled the car to the side. Qi Qin and his car passed by and saw this scene, so they lowered the window and asked:
"Brother Yan, what's wrong?"
Jiang Yanci raised his chin and gestured: "You go first."
For some reason, Qi Qin subconsciously looked at Wenjiu who was lying on the passenger window, but he couldn't see anything from her innocent face.
Helplessly, Qi Qin and his friends could only leave first.
When their car was far away, Jiang Yanci took out the car key and walked to the passenger seat, shaking the key in front of Wenjiu.
"You drive."
"Tsk..." Wen Jiu asked in disbelief: "Are you serious?"
Jiang Yanci raised his eyebrows and did not comment.
Wen Jiu smiled, "Are you really not afraid of death?"
Wen Jiu herself did not believe in her driving skills.
Jiang Yanci acted very relaxed: "It's okay, there are no sharp turns on this road, and what are you afraid of with me here?"
Hearing this, Wen Jiu stared at him seriously for a long time. Just when Jiang Yanci thought she would not answer, she easily spit out two words that could choke people to death.
"Afraid of death!"
Jiang Yanci: "..."
He lowered his eyes and saw Wen Jiu taking the key and studying it. He felt an unprecedented sense of pleasure in his heart.
He was happy with any action of the person in front of him.
"Don't worry, you won't die with me here."
"I'm not worried about you, I'm worried about myself." Wen Jiu said this, but she had already opened the car door and jumped down. Her eager expression showed that she did not resist this at all.
The people in the Wen family took her safety very seriously, so usually she would be driven by a driver with good driving skills in the family.
Wen Jiu had tried it herself, but the first time she drove on the road, she bumped the front of the car into a lot of holes, so the people in the Wen family were not willing to let her drive by herself.
Later, Wen Jiu also asked Jian Yue to teach her, but Jian Yue felt that there was a driver at home, and at worst, he was there, so Wen Jiu didn't need to learn.
The matter was left unresolved.
Now... Wen Jiu was holding the steering wheel a little nervously, staring at the front with her eyes looking forward.
Her expression successfully made Jiang Yanci laugh, "Left foot brake, right foot accelerator, both feet take a screenshot of the car at the same time, you know?" (This is just an abstract joke, students, don't learn it. You must remember what the driving school teacher taught, obey traffic rules, drive civilized, and be safe for you and me.)
The man's voice couldn't hide the smile, Wen Jiu rolled her eyes at him, "Are you polite?"
She is not without common sense!
"Then let's go." Jiang Yanci said casually.
Wen Jiu: "..."
The car Wen Jiu drove was a manual transmission, so after starting, Wen Jiu only dared to keep it in the first gear and move forward slowly.
Fortunately, this road really didn't have too many sharp turns as Jiang Yanci said, and there were no other extra vehicles passing by.
On the way, Jiang Yanci quietly accompanied Wenjiu, and only gently held the steering wheel to help her adjust when her direction deviated.
When she stabilized, he handed the steering wheel to Wenjiu and explained to her how to control the direction.
His speech was slow and low, with a faint smile, as if he thought it was a very cute thing that Wenjiu couldn't drive well, and the corners of his lips never fell.
Time passed by minute by minute, until Wenjiu was not satisfied with the speed of the first gear, stepped on the accelerator to speed up and change gears, and then he continued to speak:
"Find the feeling, and then you will be familiar with it."
Wenjiu exhaled, inexplicably proud: "It's still very simple."
There were no familiar people staring at her nervously on the side of the road, and there were no instructions one after another that caught her off guard. Although Wenjiu was tense, she was relaxed.
Jiang Yanci's eyes fell on the dimples at the corners of her lips, then he retracted his gaze and praised her generously: "
Because, you are very smart."
Wenjiu tilted her head to look at him, and was stunned for a moment when she saw the undisguised tenderness in his deep and deep eyes. The next second, she decisively retracted her gaze, as if she had not noticed anything.
"Thank you for the compliment."
With Jiang Yanci's guidance, Wenjiu's driving skills became more and more proficient.
When they met a car that was ahead of them, Jiang Yanci reminded Wenjiu: "Honk the horn."
Wenjiu did so.
Jiang Yanci continued: "Turn on the turn signal, speed up and shift gears to overtake, and then turn on the turn signal again."
Wenjiu listened to it, and her hands moved quickly. After a series of operations, the car they met had been left behind.
"I am worthy of it." She smiled with satisfaction. Jiang Yanci did not hit her immediately, but waited until the excitement of her first overtaking passed, and then slowly said: "
People you meet on the road may not let you go. At this time, you should observe the road conditions more and then overtake them in one go."
"Okay." Wenjiu responded readily.
Although Wenjiu later became more skilled at driving, by the time the two of them arrived, the others had already arrived more than half an hour earlier.
Wenjiu felt a little embarrassed. When she got off the car and saw the people staring at them, she was about to apologize when Jiang Yanci stood beside her.
"Let's go."
He spoke casually, and the people who had just arrived earlier stood up one after another.
In their circle, friends are friends, but if they don't even know the basic rules, it's another matter.
Seeing this scene, Wenjiu realized that Jiang Yanci's status in Gangcheng was higher than Wenjiu had imagined.
On the second day after she arrived in Gangcheng, Wen Xingyu sent Wenjiu the information about the various forces in Gangcheng that he had sorted out.
Just like what ordinary people like Shen Chun and others know, the surname Jiang is the only one in Gangcheng, and it is an existence that ordinary people can't afford to offend.
But outside of Shen Chun and others' cognition, the status of Jiang Yanci is far higher than that of the surname Jiang.
Jiang Yanci is the one that no one can offend, and Jiang Yanci has made an indelible contribution to the current height of the Jiang family.
But Jiang Yanci is Jiang Yanci, and Wenjiu is Wenjiu.
After walking in front of Qi Qin and the others, Wenjiu smiled at them apologetically:
"I'm sorry, my driving skills were a bit poor on the road, so I was delayed.
I kept you waiting." "Hey, what's the matter." Qi Qin waved his hand indifferently, "No one would think anything even if you came half an hour later."
Anyway, Jiang Yanci was the only one accompanying him, so who dared to say anything?
Although Qi Qin didn't say it explicitly, Wen Jiu knew that this was for Jiang Yanci's sake.
After apologizing to them again, Wen Jiu was pulled aside by Mu Ling.
When she was pulling her away, Mu Ling clearly felt a chill on the back of her neck, forcing her to pull Wen Jiu and speed up her pace. Mu Ling
didn't let go until Wen Jiu was more than ten meters away from the swing.
"Sit." She motioned to Wen Jiu, and then Mu Ling stood on tiptoe, and the swing began to swing.
