In the end, Li Kai also left dejectedly, in stark contrast to his appearance when he came.
Everyone just regarded this as a farce and continued to do their own things in the evening.
When the online classes ended in the evening, Ma Yuan also sent Professor Shi home. Shao Le saw that most of the people in the office were idle, so he asked them to get off work early, and he was going to the store to watch Lin Keke get off work. .
"Are the lights off?"
"closed."
After locking the office door, Shao Le led Du Xiangling downstairs. Neither of them noticed the classroom next door. Wu Mengyao had just packed up her courseware and was about to go back.
Seeing Shao Le and Du Xiangling leaving the company together, Wu Mengyao followed slowly.
"You take the driver's seat."
"ah?"
"Didn't I promise you before that I would teach you how to drive? There are no people or cars on the road right now. You can give it a try."
Du Xiangling was not afraid: "Just give it a try."
Shao Le got into the passenger seat, put on his seat belt, and reminded: "Adjust the position, apply the brakes, start the car, and then put it into gear."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, speak slower!"
"Have you ever passed the driver's license test?"
"I passed the exam, don't worry."
Shao Le held his hands on his chest and quietly watched Du Xiangling's performance.
She adjusted one seat for a long time. Before pressing the button to start, she took two deep breaths, as if she was about to go to the battlefield.
After the car started, she started to shift into gear, but no matter how hard she pulled, the gear handle didn't move at all.
"Why can't I shift into gear?"
"Front button pressed."
"Huh, so that's it."
The gear was shifted to D and the car began to move slowly. Du Xiangling removed her foot from the brake and carefully held the steering wheel.
"come on."
"oh."
"What are you doing? I asked you to step on the accelerator."
Du Xiangling pouted and said coquettishly, "Can you please stop being harsh on me?"
Shao Le said speechlessly: "Now I know why the driving school instructor likes to curse. It would be abnormal not to curse when meeting a fool like you."
Du Xiangling groaned and couldn't speak, but she still stepped on the accelerator obediently, and the speed of the car slowly increased.
"Isn't it too fast?"
"The electric vehicles delivering food next to you drive faster than you."
"It's too dark outside, I can't see clearly."
"There are street lights on both sides, where is it dark?"
“What should I do if there’s a pit ahead?”
"Put jump gear on and jump over."
"Which one is the skip?"
"..."
Watching Shao Le's Accord slowly drive away, Wu Mengyao paused for a moment at the entrance of the Entrepreneurship Center and walked to the classroom apartment with some disappointment.
She envied Lin Keke's youth, and also envied Du Xiangling's initiative. She often wondered if her situation would be different if she were a few years younger, and whether she could approach him openly like Du Xiangling.
Thirty years old is like a watershed for girls. Before the age of thirty, you are still a girl. After the age of thirty, you become a woman. Whether you are married or not, whether you have children or not, the words youth, sweetness and cuteness are They will all move away from you. Even if you are good-looking, everyone's adjectives for you will only be dignified, temperamental, and charming.
What's more, Wu Mengyao's appearance is not an advantage in front of Lin Keke and Du Xiangling.
Wu Mengyao knew very well that the relationship between herself and Shao Le could only be maintained as a teacher and friend at best, but when she was alone, late at night, Shao Le would always appear in her mind as soon as she closed her eyes.
From the day she came to the company, she had been thinking about whether she wanted to have a showdown with him again.
Anyway, I've already been rejected once, so even if I get rejected again, it won't matter.
But every time, Wu Mengyao didn't know how to speak.
…
"You can drive slower now."
After leaving the school gate, Shao Le quickly gave instructions. When Du Xiangling, who was just getting better, heard this, she quickly lifted her foot from the accelerator.
Shao Le let out a long sigh and said, "I asked you to slow down, but I didn't ask you to stop."
"You scared me."
Shao Le hesitated to speak, so he simply closed his mouth and acted like a mute.
Du Xiangling held the steering wheel and drove towards the apartment where she lived at a speed of about 35 yards. As for the villa that Shao Le gave her, she would only sneak over to take a look when she had nothing to do, and did not move there. The location was a bit far away, and secondly, Du Xiangling didn't feel safe living in such a big place alone.
They drove slowly until they reached the apartment downstairs. After Du Xiangling put the car in neutral and parked the car, she breathed a sigh of relief.
After just such a short walk, she felt like she was about to sweat.
"Can you teach me how to drive for a while like you did today every night from now on?"
Shao Le hummed casually.
Du Xiangling took Shao Le's hand and started acting coquettishly: "Okay."
"Don't be sick and get out of the car."
"It's like this every time, can't you treat me the same way you treat Lin Keke?"
Seeing that Shao Le was silent, Du Xiangling suddenly unbuckled her seat belt, took a sip on Shao Le's face very quickly, and then immediately opened the door and got out of the car in a hurry.
"..."
Du Xiangling stood outside and waved to Shao Le, saying "see you tomorrow" and quickly walked into the apartment.
Shao Le got out of the car and returned to the driver's seat. He adjusted the seat back a lot, then turned on the reading light to see if Du Xiangling's lipstick was stuck on his face. To be on the safe side, he took a wet tissue from the drawer box and applied it. I wiped my face and finally drove back to the store.
It was still early and there were still customers in the store, so Shao Le sat in the store for a while.
Xia Xiaoguo, Jiang Mingyue, Lin Keke, and Chen Manting were standing at the counter chatting about girls. The four of them had been working together for so long, and now their relationship was very harmonious. Seeing how happy they were chatting, Shao Le couldn't help but Mix it in.
He turned on his phone and was about to read a paper book for a while when Li Wanqiu, whom he hadn't contacted for a long time, suddenly sent a message.
Li Wanqiu: "Are you there?"
Shao Le: "???"
Li Wanqiu: "Let me ask you something."
Shao Le: "Say."
Li Wanqiu: "How do you reject a boy's confession?"
Shao Le: "Have you been confessed to?"
Li Wanqiu: "Yeah."
Shao Le: "Just say you already have someone you like."
Li Wanqiu: "Who is he going to ask?"
Shao Le: "Can't you just make up one?"
Li Wanqiu: "..."
Shao Le: "At your age, just study hard, get into a good university, and then come work for me. Don't be fooled by the scumbag's rhetoric."
Li Wanqiu: "What kind of boy is a scumbag?"
Shao Le: "Your hands are so small. Why are they so much whiter than mine? I heard that girls' hands are soft. You smell so good. Your hands are so cold. You are so cute. Let's compare the size of your hands. Your eyes. It’s so beautiful, can you not go back tonight?”
Shao Le: "Any man who says these things to you is not a good person."
Li Wanqiu: "Tsk, tsk, you understand so well."
