Gentlemen's Friends

Chapter 46 Extra Story: Novice on the Road

Qu Tongqiu also followed the trend and squeezed together a group of young people in their teens and twenties to take the driver's license test when they were "senior" in their thirties.

He originally thought that it would be enough to have a bus, a taxi, and a bicycle to ride in his free time, but Qu Ke was so filial that he bought a car for him to drive on his birthday, so panicked that he hurried to sign up for a driving class.

Moreover, Ren Ningyuan has been on a business trip during this period, and he also wants to wait for Ren Ningyuan to come back, give a surprise, and prove that he is constantly recharging.

Qu Tongqiu studied earnestly and assiduously, and spent most of the night on the road to practice. Finally, his hard work paid off, and he passed all the written and road tests at once.

But when it was time to actually hit the road, I was still trembling. I pasted the sign "Beginning on the Road, Practice Car" in super bright fonts on the back of the new car, for fear that others would not see it.

Qu Ke said: "Dad, don't worry, even if there is no sign, with your speed, everyone will know that you are a novice."

In the next few days, in order to be able to drive the car well, Qu Tongqiu had to go out every day with his driver's license to buy groceries, and Qu Ke sat beside him as a driver.

After getting into the car, he held the steering wheel tightly with both hands, stared straight ahead, and held his head high, as if he was facing an enemy.

As a result, when I got home, my back hurt, I couldn't lift my hands, and my feet were still shaking.

"Dad, don't be too nervous. Relax, I'm here, if it doesn't work, I'll take over."

As soon as Qu Ke was on the road, she was already able to overtake and grab the road, the little girl flying on the road.

Qu Tongqiu has taught her more than once, but she is very skilled and courageous, and now she is able to drive a car to the level of a racing car.

I don't know who this is inherited from.

Qu Ke's vacation is over, and Ren Ningyuan has also returned after a long business trip. Hearing that Qu Tongqiu has obtained his driver's license, his face has a rare look of surprise.

In order to save face, Qu Tongqiu finally showed his hand and drove to work by himself without the company of his daughter.

It was the first time he was on the road alone, Qu Tongqiu was very nervous, and he made a wet handprint on the steering wheel.

Before leaving home, Qu Ke clenched her fist and said, "Dad, be bold!"

Ren Ningyuan smiled and helped him close the car door: "Be careful."

Qu Tongqiu was a good father who was eager to go home after dark. The journey was at most an hour's drive, but it was after eight o'clock in the evening and he hadn't arrived home yet.

The father and daughter at home made a lot of phone calls in turn, but no one answered the phone. When they called the store, the answer they got was naturally "he went back a long time ago".

The two of them stared at each other for a long while without making a sound. Seeing that the hands of the wall clock moved a little further, Qu Ke finally couldn't help but said, "I shouldn't have made Dad bold..."

Ren Ningyuan interrupted her: "No, Tong Qiu will definitely be careful."

Qu Ke's voice shifted slightly: "But..."

"You stay at home, I'll go out and have a look."

Ren Ningyuan put on his coat, and as soon as he put his hand on the doorknob, the door opened from the outside. The man who had returned late was so cold that he "hissed" and gasped: "Oh, I came back late..."

Ren Ningyuan grabbed his hand immediately.

Qu Ke uttered "Dad" from the side, both joyful and complaining! !

"Ah? What's the matter?"

"Why did you come back so late?"

"Ah, I'm a novice, it's normal to drive slowly..." Feeling the strength of Ren Ningyuan's fingers and seeing his daughter's face, the man understood, and hurriedly said, "Oh, I'm very careful, really, you guys Don't be nervous about me. Have you eaten yet? Why haven't you eaten yet? How bad it is to be hungry."

Qu Ke jumped up and said, "What's for dinner? You only came back at this time, and you didn't answer your phone calls. Can we not be nervous?"

The man said: "I, I can't spare my hands to answer the phone..."

I was so nervous all the way that I wished I had two more legs, so I don't have any extra hands.

Qu Ke was about to collapse: "Dad, you're driving so slowly, you can't answer the phone yet?"

The man said "hey" twice for his speed.

It usually takes only two hours to take the bus, but it took three hours to drive home by myself.

Firstly, he didn't dare to drive fast, and secondly, he was too honest. He was blocked all the way and turned from a tortoise to a snail.

"Dad, I think you should stop driving to work. It's not convenient for you at all, and it makes you so tired. It's better to take a taxi, or let the driver drive you."

"No, no, no. It's fine. I can be faster than a bicycle and more comfortable than a bus, and that's fine." The things my daughter gave me with all my filial piety should be put to good use no matter what.

"But I'm going to worry about you."

"It's really okay..."

"Then I'll accompany you tomorrow."

"Oh, no, don't you want to go to class?"

Qu Ke said firmly: "If no one is with you, you should stop driving."

"Huh? That's not okay..."

Ren Ningyuan, who had been silent all this time, put his hands on the man's shoulders, and supported him with the aura of the head of the family: "Let him drive. If you don't practice too much, he won't be able to become proficient in the future."

"But……"

"Your father is such an old man, he will be careful."

Qu Ke finally gave in, but she still muttered, "Are you really so relieved of my father?"

The next day, Qu Tongqiu had to be late for work.Fortunately, he is now half the owner of the takeaway shop. For some reason, the other half owner, Le Xiao, flatters him all day long and wags his tail wildly. Being late is no big deal.

When it was almost time to go home from get off work, there was an unexpected customer in the store, it was Ren Ningyuan.

Boss Qu Tongqiu hurriedly came out to greet this distinguished guest.

"Why did you come here suddenly? Are you going to eat here?"

Ren Ningyuan smiled and said, "No need. I happened to be doing business nearby, and Xiao Ke said that he would go out to eat Hunan cuisine at night, so you can give me a ride there."

Qu Tongqiu suddenly got goosebumps all over his back: "Do you want me to give you a ride?"

Ren Ningyuan got into his car, and Qu Tongqiu was already sweating before starting the car.

"Ren Ningyuan..."

"Ok?"

"I, I don't drive very well..."

Ren Ningyuan smiled and said, "It's okay."

Ren Ningyuan's drivers are among the best in driving skills, no matter how fast they drive, they won't spill a drop of alcohol in the car.A novice at his level would turn off the engine when he was nervous, park the car uphill, and slip backwards if he was not careful.With Ren Ningyuan in the car, like a soldier being inspected by the chief, he was so nervous that he couldn't even step on the accelerator.

Afraid of accidents while driving Ren Ningyuan, Qu Tongqiu drove extremely cautiously all the way, keeping a fixed distance, and followed the traffic ahead slowly, without daring to be careless.

Even if you are about to be ridiculed by the overtaking driver: "If you have the guts, drive slower!"

He is also completely undisturbed, and only concentrates on chanting: "One thousand and one, one thousand and two..." (two-second distance rule)

Ren Ningyuan looked at him with a smile: "Well, such a mentality is good."

Although the car was extremely mediocre, it finally drove all the way without incident. Under Ren Ningyuan's guidance, he also successfully found the direction of the restaurant he was going to.

When it was about to arrive, the weather was not beautiful and it began to rain.The rearview mirror began to blur, and Qu Tongqiu panicked. Seeing that he entered the open-air parking lot, his reversing skills were not very good. Now he didn't know whether to look forward or backward, and his feet felt numb. .

"Can you fall in?"

When Ren Ningyuan spoke close to his ears, his ears felt hot instantly, and his mind went blank.When Qu Tongqiu realized it, he had already entered the parking space, but he just plunged into it, and his face flushed with embarrassment.

Ren Ningyuan smiled and said, "That's fine."

Qu Tongqiu was embarrassed and ashamed.

"Really, it's not easy to reverse the car. It's better than creating danger."

"Um……"

I practiced hard by myself, but in the end I couldn't even be a driver for him.

Ren Ningyuan looked at him: "You drove well enough today. Safety is the most important thing."

"Hmm..." Qu Tongqiu said awkwardly, "I'll practice again when I get back tonight..."

Ren Ningyuan smiled and leaned over: "Alright, I will teach you."

Qu Tongqiu was flattered: "Ah..."

"Do you trust my skills?"

"Hmm..." My mind went blank again like a short circuit.

When Ren Ningyuan straightened up, he said, "I will accompany you to work tomorrow."

"Hmm..." Qu Tongqiu's ears were red with the feeling that the world was still spinning.

"Practice your skills earlier," the man's smiling face always made him look dizzy, "I will ask you to take care of me in the future."

"Uh……"

"Don't you want to drive for me?"

Qu Tongqiu woke up almost instantly: "Think!"

The man smiled and took his hand under the seat.
