My Taoist nun girlfriend is from the Republic of China era, 1942.

Chapter 43 The Legendary Car Driver of Yuzhou in the Republic of China!

The next day, Lu Yuan went out as usual, leaving Chen Xiaomiao alone at home. The doorbell rang near noon.

"Xiao Miao, I'm here to freeload again!"

Song Jia waved the dessert shop box in her hand.

"Sister Song Jia, come in quickly!"

Chen Xiaomiao took the box and stepped aside to let him pass: "Why do you always bring things? You're too kind."

"I bought it on the way, just to try it out."

At the dinner table, Song Jia praised Chen Xiaomiao's cooking skills while eating, and the two chatted casually.

Chen Xiaomiao remembered what Lu Yuan had said yesterday, and her heart felt like it was being scratched by cat claws: "Sister Song Jia, I have a question for you, is it difficult to learn to drive nowadays?"

"Driving?" Song Jia pondered. "It depends on the person. Some people learn quickly, some are a bit slower. What, you want to learn?"

Chen Xiaomiao nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "Yes, I want to learn!"

If I could drive, I could take turns being the driver with Lu Yuan on the way back to our hometown in Yuzhou, so Lu Yuan wouldn't be so tired.

“That’s easy,” Song Jia said matter-of-factly. “I’ll have Lu Yuan enroll you in driving school. If you’re quick-witted, you’ll learn in a month or two.”

"Driving school...how much does it cost?"

"I don't know how much it costs now. I got my driver's license five years ago after I finished the college entrance exam, and it cost me more than three thousand yuan."

"Three...three thousand!?"

Chen Xiaomiao almost dropped her chopsticks, but quickly dismissed the thought.

"Xiao Miao, if you're unsure, why don't I go with you to practice?"

Where should we practice?

Before Chen Xiaomiao could react, Song Jia grabbed her arm and dragged her out the door.

The two took a taxi to an arcade in a shopping mall.

Inside, the lights were flashing, and it was noisy. There were strange machines everywhere, making clanging and banging noises that made Chen Xiaomiao's head ache.

Song Jia bought 100 game coins at the counter and led Chen Xiaomiao straight to the first-person racing simulator area.

"Xiao Miao, get in there." Song Jia pointed to the driver's seat.

Chen Xiaomiao sat down hesitantly, unsure of what to do with her hands and feet.

"Remember..."

Song Jia leaned down and pointed: "This dial controls the direction. Pressing this with your right foot makes the car move forward; it's called the accelerator. The left foot's button stops the car; it's called the brake. The small lever next to it is for shifting gears; its function is..."

Chen Xiaomiao was confused and just waited for Song Jia to insert a coin. The screen lit up and a winding track appeared in front of her.

"Come on, step on the gas and drive forward!"

Chen Xiaomiao did as instructed, placing her foot on the right pedal and gently pressing it.

"Om-"

The car on the screen suddenly lurched forward, startling Chen Xiaomiao so much that her hand trembled and she jerked the steering wheel sharply.

"boom!"

The front of the car slammed into the guardrail, sparks flying across the screen.

Chen Xiaomiao was flustered, sometimes pressing the accelerator and sometimes the brake, and the car crashed around on the track like a headless fly, making the first lap a mess.

"I... I think I'm pretty stupid..."

Chen Xiaomiao scratched her head, looking quite embarrassed.

"It's okay, it's always like this the first time, let's try again!" Song Jia smiled and put in another coin.

The second time, Chen Xiaomiao was much more stable. Although she still bumped around a bit, she was finally able to keep the car on the track.

By the third time, she was able to run the entire lap smoothly.

Then, the fourth chapter, the fifth chapter...

Song Jia's smile gradually froze, and her mouth opened wider and wider.

She wasn't a professional coach; she only taught Chen Xiaomiao the most basic operations, but this girl...

On the screen, the race car's cornering angles became increasingly tricky, and its speed not only didn't decrease, but actually increased.

With a flick of her wrist, Chen Xiaomiao turned the steering wheel back and forth, the rear of the car gracefully swaying as it glided past the sharp bend, accompanied by the screeching sound of tires.

The speedometer needle on the dashboard steadily points to 200.

drift?

How could someone be so self-taught?
"My God..."

Song Jia muttered to herself, silently took out her phone, and turned on the video recording function.

More than forty minutes later, Chen Xiaomiao finally snapped out of her highly focused state, let out a long sigh of relief, and felt completely relaxed.

She turned her head to share her joy with Song Jia, but saw Lu Yuan standing behind her, watching with a smile.

"Lu Yuan!"

Chen Xiaomiao jumped up from her seat in fright: "When...when did you get here?"

"I arrived a while ago, but seeing you were having fun, I didn't want to disturb you."

Lu Yuan had nothing to do at school in the afternoon, and just then he received a video from Song Jia, so he rushed over to check it out.

Compared to Song Jia's shock, Lu Yuan was also quite shaken.

Could this little girl be a genius with MAX vehicle talent?
From bicycles to electric scooters to cars, you can handle anything with wheels.

Chen Xiaomiao looked around: "Where's Sister Song Jia?"

"She had something to do and left first."

Song Jia is a smart person; she wouldn't be foolish enough to act as a third wheel.

Do you still want to play?

"No, no, I have to go home and cook..."

When Chen Xiaomiao left the arcade, she had a pink fox plush toy that was half her height in her arms. It was her prize for breaking the racing record.

"Lu Yuan, you can have this rag doll. Your bed is big enough to fit it."

Chen Xiaomiao remembered that Sister Xiaozhi had said that if she ever took a fancy to a man, she should send him a token.

Whether it's a hairpin or a sachet, anything that makes a man think of you whenever he sees it...

"What are you doing for me?"

Lu Yuan looked puzzled.

"Never mind that, do you want it or not..."

The girl buried most of her face in the fox's fluffy ears, muttering to herself, looking adorable and radiating joy.

It's impossible to refuse...
