"What's going on up ahead?" Chu Mengyao looked at the long line of cars in front and tilted her head, trying to figure out what was happening.
"Jianpai, go check it out and see what's happening up ahead," Chen Yushu casually ordered Lin Yi.
"Uh... I'd rather you go. If I go, you'll have to go first anyway," Lin Yi said with a wry smile.
Only then did Chen Yushu remember that there was no door next to Lin Yi's rear seat. She had to get out of the car herself. Although there were many people gathered up ahead, seeing such a pretty girl as Chen Yushu, many naturally made way for her. Soon, Chen Yushu ran back and said to Chu Mengyao, "Sister Yaoyao, there's been a car accident up ahead. It might take a while to clear."
"Really? That's so unlucky. Let's find a place to park and walk a bit," Chu Mengyao said somewhat helplessly.
"There's a public parking spot over there..." Chen Yushu pointed to a metered parking lot not far from the left side of the road.
"Uh... Xiao Shu, you're a bit naughty. Do you think I can fit in there?" Chu Mengyao glanced at the empty parking spot in the lot. In front was a Toyota Coaster, and behind was a Jinbei minivan. The two large vehicles squeezed the middle parking spot, making it very small, and it would be impossible for an ordinary person to park there.
Even though Chu Mengyao's Audi S5 was smaller, it would still be very difficult to park there.
Otherwise, in this crowded commercial area on a weekend, how could there be an empty parking spot? It would have been taken long ago.
"What should we do?" Chen Yushu, who wasn't driving, hadn't thought much about it. Now, after a closer look at the parking spot, she realized it was indeed difficult to park there.
"In that case, let's just park the car by the roadside," Chu Mengyao said, starting the car and parking it by the side of the road.
Lin Yi looked at the large "No Parking" sign next to the car and gave Chu Mengyao a surprised look.
"Anyway, getting a ticket doesn't deduct points, and Uncle Fu will take care of it," Chu Mengyao shrugged, seeing through Lin Yi's thoughts.
Lin Yi sighed inwardly. A rich girl is indeed a rich girl. He thought she was different from other rich second-generation kids, but they all had one thing in common: they didn't treat money as money.
"I'll do it." Lin Yi took the car keys from Chu Mengyao's hand without a word and sat in the driver's seat.
"Hey, what are you doing? Don't you have a driver's license?" Chu Mengyao, caught off guard, had her keys taken and Lin Yi got into the car.
"Illegal parking, all vehicles will be towed..." Lin Yi pointed to the small print below the no-parking sign: "Didn't you see it? I'm afraid if you park here, we won't be able to come back later."
Without waiting for Chu Mengyao to respond, Lin Yi quickly started the car, stepped on the gas, and the car sped towards the public parking lot on the left side of the road. As the car approached the parking spot, Lin Yi sharply turned the steering wheel, braked, and pulled the handbrake. The car made a beautiful drift and neatly parked in the spot.
Lin Yi had seen a video online about parking in tight spots and found it interesting, so he practiced it a couple of times with an old car.
"Ah—" Seeing the car spin on the ground, Chu Mengyao thought her car was about to be ruined. She regretted letting Lin Yi take the keys, but was surprised to find that the car had parked perfectly in the spot!
"Drifting! Sister Yaoyao, did you see that? It was real drifting! Jianpai can drift?" Chen Yushu exclaimed excitedly.
"He said he doesn't have a driver's license, right? Liar!" Although Chu Mengyao was a bit envious of Lin Yi's drifting, she was annoyed by his earlier claim of not having a license. What a liar, making me drive for him all day when he has such good skills... Wait, Chu Mengyao realized, Lin Yi didn't say he couldn't drive, just that he didn't have a license...
Lin Yi got out of the car amidst the parking attendant's shocked gaze, gave him five yuan, and locked the car before quickly walking over to Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu.
"Done!" Lin Yi returned the car keys to Chu Mengyao.
"Hey, did you wear out my tires?" Chu Mengyao muttered.
"Hehe..." Lin Yi smiled.
"Jianpai, you can drift? Can you teach me sometime?" Chen Yushu was curious about Lin Yi's parking technique.
"Sure, when you have a car." Lin Yi dodged the question. This isn't something you can just teach; although he learned it from watching videos, it also required good coordination and body control. If you miscalculated even slightly, the car would be in trouble.
"Oh, I have a car, it's in my garage. Teach me when we get back," Chen Yushu said excitedly.
"Uh?" Lin Yi was surprised to learn that Chen Yushu had a car and was momentarily speechless.
"Okay, when we have time," Lin Yi said.
Chu Mengyao found Chen Yushu's subservient request to Lin Yi somewhat disgraceful. Why should she do that? He's just a bodyguard hired by her father. Why should she beg him to teach her something?
"Hey, you have to teach me. My father pays you," Chu Mengyao said.
"Sure, I'll ask Mr. Chu if it's okay to teach you drifting," Lin Yi nodded with a smile.
"You—!" Chu Mengyao was frustrated. Why does he seem to treat Xiao Shu better than me? Thinking about it, she felt a bit sour. I'm your mistress, okay?
"Let's go, Sister Yaoyao, let's go shopping!" Chen Yushu didn't want to watch Lin Yi and Chu Mengyao argue. Today was a rare chance to go shopping, so they should buy as much as possible!
High school life doesn't offer much time for leisure, even for high-IQ girls like Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu who have efficient study methods. They couldn't afford to be complacent, as there were many other high-IQ students.
Chu Mengyao thought about it and agreed. It was rare to get out, and although she was a bit annoyed, she didn't want to deal with Lin Yi. She took Chen Yushu's hand and walked forward.
Lin Yi chuckled and followed behind them. As they approached the accident site, Lin Yi casually glanced over and was slightly taken aback. He frowned and quickly walked towards the crowd.
Lin Yi wasn't the type to meddle in other people's affairs, but today he couldn't ignore it. Because at the accident site, there was someone he knew!
It was Wang Xinyan, whom he had met on the train. She was standing helplessly next to a red sports car, holding a phone and looking anxious. Two middle-aged men and women were pointing at her and talking incessantly...
It seemed Wang Xinyan was in trouble.
