Chapter 411: Became a Super Old Driver

After the 20th of the twelfth lunar month, the festive atmosphere of the Chinese New Year began to thicken.

In a small city like Yucheng in this era, except for the main urban area in the very center, firecrackers were not yet banned in other places.

Especially on auspicious days, almost every day there were families holding weddings or funerals, and the sound of firecrackers and fireworks echoed in this small city.

On the day before the Little New Year, a relative in the countryside was moving into a new house and holding a wedding banquet, so Qin Tian drove his mother back to their hometown in the countryside.

Seeing the mother and son return in a luxury car, the neighbors and fellow villagers in the village were shocked again, coming over to visit one after another, saying flattering words while trying to find out about ways to make money.

When they learned that the car was actually a gift from his girlfriend's family, these villagers were even more incredulous.

In their place, it was only the man's family who bought cars and houses and gave bride prices for marriage. The woman's family helping to buy a car, and a luxury car worth hundreds of thousands at that, was really the first time they had seen such a thing.

Not to mention that they had just started university and were far from the stage of marriage, yet the girlfriend's family was so generous.

For a time, many of the village aunties who couldn't stand others doing better than themselves and liked to gossip behind their backs still had hypocritical smiles on their faces, but their tone carried a hint of jealousy that couldn't be hidden.

Naturally, Qin Tian was also surrounded by many people asking what his girlfriend's family did and how they could be so rich.

Qin Tian perfunctorily answered a few sentences, then escaped using the excuse of having a high school class reunion in the evening. After saying goodbye to his mother and grandparents, he drove back to Yucheng.

When he was about to reach Yucheng, Qin Tian called Xia Nuannuan.

"Hello? Brother!"

Xia Nuannuan's soft, sleepy voice came from the car speakers.

"What are you doing? Listening to your voice, you wouldn't still be in bed, would you? It's already noon!"

"Mm... I'm bored. I laid back down after breakfast, and fell asleep again while playing with my phone."

"Really something. Are you trying to gain some weight so that I can hold you warmer in this winter? Mm, that's a good idea."

"No way!"

Xia Nuannuan's voice suddenly rose a few degrees, her tone carrying a hint of shyness, and she changed the subject directly.

"Aren't you back in your hometown with Auntie? Why do you sound like you're driving?"

"I'm already back, almost there. I'll drive to pick up my mom in the evening."

"Ah? You're back so soon? The class reunion is in the afternoon!"

"I wasn't comfortable staying there, so I came back directly."

"What happened?"

Xia Nuannuan sat up and leaned against the head of the bed, asking with concern.

"The women in the village are all snobbish, gossiping. Seeing me drive this car back, they were all flattering and fawning, and asking what your family does, etc. In short, it was very annoying."

Qin Tian explained casually.

"Alright!"

Xia Nuannuan could also empathize to some extent and said with a smile, "Then do you want to come pick me up, and we'll go play?"

"Alright, then I'll go directly to your residential area to pick you up."

Qin Tian agreed with a smile.

"Okay, I'll get up and prepare now. Hanging up first, message me when you arrive."

"Mm, okay!"

"Mua, kiss you. Don't be annoyed, be happy!"

"That's not enough, I'll have to kiss you in person later."

"Pfft, hanging up!"

Xia Nuannuan spat at him shyly and then hung up the phone.

Qin Tian's originally annoyed mood became quite pleasant.

He hummed along with the music that started playing again in the car, stepped on the accelerator lightly, and increased the car speed to the maximum limit of the road, controlling the car as if it were an extension of his arm, shuttling smoothly through the traffic.

There was only one road from the countryside into Yucheng, so during this Chinese New Year period, as more and more people who made money outside bought cars and returned home in glory, the road became more and more congested.

Plus, traffic management in small cities wasn't standardized enough, with various tricycles and electric bikes grabbing lanes and crossing the road. Without a certain level of driving skill, driving in this small city was really tiring.

After his driving skill was upgraded to the Master level, the feeling was completely different. Like a road killer who had just started driving, he transformed directly into a super old driver.

Even if there were many vehicles and pedestrians on the road, as long as the road ahead wasn't blocked, Qin Tian could rely on his superb driving skills to move through easily and unimpeded.

In the afternoon, Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan strolled around Yucheng at will, buying a little bit of local delicacies and snacks they hadn't eaten for a long time to share.

The temperature was relatively low, but it was a sunny day today, and the wind wasn't strong. Both of them were dressed very warmly, walking on the street holding arms, feeling no cold.

The class reunion was set for five o'clock in the afternoon.

At about four-thirty, Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan returned to the car and drove to the restaurant near the school.

After parking the car, the two got out.

"Brother, we seem to have come a bit early. They won't all not have arrived yet, right?"

Xia Nuannuan looked around and didn't find any of her classmates.

"It's already fifteen minutes, there should be someone inside. Let's go in and see!"

Qin Tian looked at the time and suggested with a smile.

"Mm!"

Xia Nuannuan nodded, walked over and hugged his arm, and walked into the restaurant together.

"Qin Tian, Xia Nuannuan!"

A shout came from behind.

The two stopped and looked back.

They saw a boy with a flat top running towards them with a face full of smiles.

"Qian Sheng! Don't you guys have classes at the repeat center?"

Qin Tian asked with a smile.

The person who came was Zhang Peng's other best friend, Qian Sheng, who went to the repeat center after failing the college entrance exam.

"We had classes, but we were released yesterday afternoon. It was so bitter."

Qian Sheng said with a bitter face.

"That doesn't make sense. It's still more than a week before the New Year, and you're already released?"

"Brother Tian, you're even more black-hearted than those school leaders and teachers!"

"Haha..."

Qin Tian couldn't help but laugh.

He remembered that during the summer vacation, one day he and Zhang Peng went to the repeat center very bored, bought some snacks, drinks, and ice cream, and stood outside the corridor of the class Qian Sheng was repeating in, eating and waving to Qian Sheng who was having class inside with a smile.

As a result, this guy couldn't hold back anymore and directly called out to the teacher who was currently teaching in the front, wanting to come out and mooch a meal.

However, that very strict teacher refused directly and walked to the classroom door to drive them away.

Qin Tian and Zhang Peng had no choice but to go downstairs first and only met after Qian Sheng finished class, giving him some food and drink.

"Where is that cheapskate Zhang Peng? Didn't he come with you?"

Qian Sheng asked with a smile after walking closer.

"No, we went to play at the mall and came directly."

"Oh, oh, so that cheapskate really has a girlfriend, the girl who is often with the school beauty."

"You knew?"

"Yeah, that cheapskate has messaged me to show off many times. I didn't want to believe it. So it's true?"

"True."

Qin Tian nodded with a smile.

"It's really unreasonable. Sigh, that girl must have lost her mind to agree to him."

Qian Sheng shook his head and sighed. ===== CHAPTER 412 =====
