Chapter 225: High-Speed Harmonious Scene
After that little scene just now, the atmosphere inside the car was a bit awkward.
Shen Yan kept his focus on driving, Yu Youwei pouted and poked at Shen Yan's shoulder, listing his faults, while Chen Shanni feigned composure, looking out at the beautiful scenery outside the window with a face like a delicate flower.
That expression of a young woman's bashfulness was all taken in by the observant Wu Yue'er.
She sighed silently.
Sigh! This troublemaker is never one to put people's minds at ease.
Often, he occupies a girl's heart without even realizing it.
Shen Yan grew a bit annoyed by Yu Youwei's nagging and changed the subject, saying, "I saw something very interesting at a traffic light a couple of days ago. A traffic police officer was there doing a routine check of ID cards..."
Shen Yan recounted the story of the little girl reporting her father for drunk driving with vivid detail and emotion.
The three women's attention was instantly diverted.
As Shen Yan narrated, their expressions gradually froze.
"Pfft!" Wu Yue'er couldn't help but burst into laughter, saying, "I've never seen such a father-pitier; I bet there's a 'bamboo shoot stir-fried with pork' waiting for her when she gets home."
Yu Youwei's thoughts were vastly different from Wu Yue'er's; she believed that while what the little girl did wasn't exactly great, at the very least, it ensured the safety of the whole family.
When it came down to it, it was still the father's fault.
Driving under the influence harms both others and oneself.
The logic was sound, but the three women still couldn't help but laugh at the act of a daughter reporting her own father.
The scene itself was amusing to think about.
One could imagine how devastated those parents must have felt inside, wondering how they had raised such a "black-hearted cotton-padded jacket."
Quietly, the awkward atmosphere from before was swept away.
Hangzhou is not far from Jinhua Hengdian World Studios, a journey of over one hundred kilometers that takes about two hours by car.
After getting on the expressway, Shen Yan began to teach Chen Shanni various tips for highway driving, combining theory with practice—for instance, when the vehicle in front turns on its hazard lights for no reason, one must slow down and proceed with caution while observing the surroundings.
"And also..."
No sooner said than done; while driving, just as Shen Yan prepared to overtake a truck, the truck on the right suddenly turned on its left turn signal. Shen Yan's nerves tightened instantly; he quickly scanned the rearview mirror while lightly tapping the brakes.
He changed lanes to the right.
Sure enough, a multi-car pileup appeared ahead, with seven or eight small cars smashed into a heap.
The black BMW narrowly scraped past and avoided it.
The thrilling and heart-pounding scene made the three women scream repeatedly.
"Damn, that was almost a collision!"
Looking at the tragic scene, Wu Yue'er's pretty face turned pale, and she patted her chest, still shaken.
Chen Shanni was full of relief and pressed Shen Yan, "How did you know there was trouble ahead? You couldn't see anything at all!"
Shen Yan explained, "It was the warning from the large truck in front. The truck is high, and the driver has a wide field of vision. They discovered the accident ahead. I was originally planning to accelerate and overtake, but the truck suddenly turned on its left signal."
"This situation often indicates an accident ahead; if conditions allow, you must slow down and change lanes immediately."
The three women suddenly realized there were so many twists and turns to highway driving.
That truck driver was actually quite a good person!
Shen Yan caught up and gave a light tap on the horn to express his gratitude, and the other party responded politely.
Everything was understood without words.
Seeing this exceptionally harmonious scene, the corners of the three women's mouths rose involuntarily; they felt that driving was actually quite interesting. Yu Youwei, having just received her driver's license, begged Shen Yan to let her drive for a stretch after they got off the highway.
Shen Yan refused decisively: "My car is still quite new; if you want to practice, use your dad's car at home."
"Oh! My skills are actually quite good; there definitely won't be any problems."
Yu Youwei's hands were itching, and she still wanted to try, but Shen Yan shook his head like a rattle-drum; no matter how she acted spoiled or cute, he simply would not agree.
One's life is what matters!
Crossing great rivers, passing through tunnels...
The two-hour drive passed in a flash, and the car arrived smoothly at Hengdian Town, Dongyang, Jinhua; Hengdian World Studios is located in this small town.
Hengdian World Studios is hailed as the largest film and television shooting base in the world and was awarded the AAAA tourist attraction status by the National Tourism Administration in 2000. Every holiday, the town is always bustling with people, and related industries like food and lodging develop rapidly.
Here, there are straight roads, bridges, garden-style streets, uniquely decorated buildings, neat and uniform industrial parks, as well as scenic tourist spots, and supporting hospitals, hotels, schools, commercial streets, and gourmet streets; it is truly a "small town, big metropolis" in every sense of the word.
It was six o'clock in the evening, the lights were just coming on, and neon flickered on the streets. The group of four, already starving, did not enter the film studio immediately; they first found a hotel near the Tourism Building, with Shen Yan staying in a single room and the three women in a double room.
After dropping off their luggage, the group of four went to the night market street. The most famous thing on the street is the Northeast iron pot stew; it is said that many celebrities have recommended this place, and the chicken inside is large and tender, and the corn cakes are also very delicious.
Young girls seem to love taking photos when they go out; they take photos first and post them to their social media to prove they've been there, attracting all sorts of envy and praise from friends and family.
Their vanity was greatly satisfied.
Once the dishes were served, Yu Youwei used her phone to take a group photo of the four of them, then posted it to her social media with a line of text.
"With a few good friends, on a spontaneous trip. Coordinates: Jinhua Hengdian. Any friends coming to run into us? (smiley face) (smiley face)"
Comments began to pop up one after another underneath.
Luo Qiqi: "Envious!"
Yuan Mingqing: "Envious!"
Tang Song: "+1"
Xu Lin: "Youwei, I added Shen Yan as a friend; tell him to accept it."
Huang Shuren: "Your little group really knows how to have fun (thumbs up) (thumbs up)"
Sun Bixia: "Is your money enough? Should Mom send you some more?"
Wu Yue'er and Chen Shanni followed by reposting it.
This was the first time Chen Jun had seen his daughter post on social media; no wonder she didn't come home for New Year's Day—it turned out she had gone traveling with good friends.
Being young is truly wonderful!
He commented underneath: "Have fun, stay safe!"
He also sent a private message to Shen Yan, asking him to help take good care of Chen Shanni, to which Shen Yan replied, "Okay!"
Switching out of the screen, there was a message from Lin Yang.
"Didn't you say you were busy with things during New Year's Day? How come you ran off to Hengdian too?"
Shen Yan: "The plans changed at the last minute."
Lin Yang: "Then why didn't you say anything (picking nose), it would have been more fun if we all went together."
Shen Yan let out a cold laugh, feeling that this person was quite amusing.
Does my itinerary need to be reported to you? What are you thinking?
It's clear the girl doesn't welcome you, yet you insist on pestering her and tagging along, how speechless!
Shen Yan couldn't be bothered to pay any more attention to the other party.
