Chapter 150: Chapter 102-103: Loss / Departure / Setback (Part 4)
"You’ve already mentioned this before, you’ve hit menopause early?" Luo Ye quickly straightened up, her tone not very pleasant, clearly still holding a grudge
"Uh..., you’re not a child, sorry." Mou Xuan awkwardly apologized, he wasn’t dumb, he knew the girl was taunting him.
"Tch, just yesterday someone was thanking me for helping out, and now I’m suddenly a child, it really breaks my heart, my poor little heart." While speaking, she playfully twisted Song Qiu and Dou Dou’s cheeks: "Lucky you two don’t despise me."
"Alright, what do you want as compensation?" Ye Xuan scratched his head a bit, cajoling girls really wasn’t his strong suit, yet he did owe her a big favor, and it was bad when she got mad.
Compensation? Am I that kind of person?" Mou Ye looked at him seriously.
"You’re not, but I’d like to offer some, is that okay?" Ye Xuan’s mouth twitched, this was the first time in his life that he was so eager to compensate someone.
"Fine, doing a favor is what a gentleman would do." Mou Ye’s eyes rolled around: "Originally, my brother and I were thinking of learning to drive during the summer break, but we ended up staying at Grandpa’s house until school resumed.
Could you arrange for me and my brother to get driving licenses that allow us to take lessons whenever we are free? We want to take lessons whenever suitable and then take the driving test. This would be almost impossible for ordinary people, but for you, it should be no problem, right?"
Ye Xuan frowned: "It’s no problem for Luo Feng, but you’re only 16, why the rush to learn driving?"
"Having a skill is always good, you must have heard about the car accident that happened in Island City recently, right? The bus driver, in his 40s, suddenly had a stroke and collapsed on the steering wheel.
Unfortunately, no one on the bus knew how to drive, let alone where the control buttons were, the doors wouldn’t open, so many had to jump out of the windows.
The out-of-control bus crashed into a sedan ahead, pushing it forward and hitting several other cars before coming to a stop, the scene was complete chaos.
In that accident, three people died, not including the bus driver, and 29 were injured, including those with broken legs and arms from jumping out, you see, if there was someone who could drive on the bus, wouldn’t this accident have been avoided?"
"These sudden incidents are still rare." Ye Xuan looked at Luo Ye speechlessly, wondering what she was always thinking in her little head.
"Rare still means there’s a chance to encounter it, let’s not come up with reasons anymore, will you help or not?" She wouldn’t stand a chance if she asked her dad, so she was being obstinate.
Ye Xuan nodded: "Alright, but I need to consult your father."
"Forget it, that’s clearly showing you won’t help me." Luo Ye rolled her eyes disdainfully: "Never mind, I’ll find someone else to help."
"Is learning to drive really just for handling emergencies?" Ye Xuan asked and immediately regretted it, realizing he was sounding foolish in front of this little girl.
Sure enough, Mou Xuan gave him a disdainful look: "You think I learn to drive just for emergencies? Do you think I’m Superman? I like cars, I want to buy a car, is that clear?" Damn, wouldn’t it be convenient to have a car for some midnight errands? She wanted a legitimate protective talisman, okay? She wouldn’t want the traffic police to find her dad, smearing his name is something she wouldn’t do.
Ye Xuan quickly nodded: "Okay, I’ll help you guys get it done, but be careful."
Mou Ye grumpily responded: "Don’t worry, I haven’t lived enough yet."
Ye Xuan: "..." Just because I said one wrong thing, why hold such a grudge?
...
"The long-distance bus to Wei City departing at 2:20 will be leaving shortly, passengers who haven’t boarded yet please hurry..." Liang Jing sighed in disappointment, picked up her luggage, and got on the bus, always hoping to see that familiar figure again, but alas, everything really was over.
As the bus slowly started, Wang Yike—one of the two staff members Jiang Zheng had assigned to Luo Ye—made a call to Luo Ye’s school.
Liang Jing finally disappeared from sight! Luo Ye stepped out of the office, took a deep breath, and thought about solving issues one by one, her brother’s was sorted, her father’s would be handled by Uncle Jiang, Ye Xuan, Song Fangzheng, and others..., hopefully, it would all end soon.
And as for her mother, she had already decided to go back to her parents’ house to admit her missteps, just hesitant to set a date, hoping her mother would adjust her mindset quickly.
"Ouch!"
"Sorry! Sorry!" Luo Ye apologized repeatedly to the person she bumped into, knowing her own strength, but unsure how to address the person briefly— it was Yang Yaoguang.
Yang Yaoguang frowned slightly: "Be more careful when walking, what kind of behavior is this for a girl?" Her voice slightly hoarse, somewhere between a male and a female voice.
"Got it." Luo Ye’s lips curled up in amusement, this girl was really fun, such a pretty face clearly belonged to a girl, yet she thought others couldn’t tell.
"It’s fine, you can go," Yang Yaoguang waved her off and strode towards the office.
"Luoluo, what’s making you so happy?" Tang Luo noticed Luo Ye still smiling while sitting: "Was it your boyfriend who called?"
Luo Ye punched him playfully: "Cut it out, what boyfriend and girlfriend? Don’t you have serious things to think about?"
"Serious matters, huh?" Tang Luo smirked and handed Luo Ye an envelope: "While you were taking the call, a boy delivered this letter for you."
Luo Ye glanced at the letter, the smile in her dimples deepening: "This guy really knows how to hold back, only coming to find me now."
"Who? Who is it?" Tang Luo was all curiosity.
Just then the bell rang, Luo Ye quickly sat upright: "Class is about to start."
Tang Luo rolled his eyes in dissatisfaction: "Excuses!"
