Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Soon Zhu Jiajun drove the car to the highway near Zhou Jiayi's home; Zhou Jiayi had prepared everything long ago and had been waiting at the intersection for a long time.

"Coach, I'm a bit nervous, what should I do?"

Zhou Jiayi opened the car door, got into the back seat, and sat together with Wang Xiaohua.

She was also holding a seat cushion in her hands; because her height was only 1.6 meters, when she drove the S-curve the hood always blocked her view, causing her to cross the line. On Wang Xiaohua's suggestion, she went and bought a seat cushion to pad under her buttocks and raise the seat.

However, doing so improved her view, but all her reference points changed, so many things had to be practiced all over again.

As a result, she hadn't re-practiced for more than a few days before the coach signed her up and dragged her to take the exam.

She was very curious: Wang Xiaohua was about the same height as her, so how come he wasn't blocked from view?

Wang Xiaohua told her: if you pick the right reference points, turn the steering wheel when you reach the point; even if it looks like the front of the car is about to cross the line, the actual situation is that it hasn't crossed yet, so there's absolutely no need to panic.

However, Zhou Jiayi found this very hard to understand, so whenever she felt like she was about to cross the line, she would panic, and in her panic she would turn the steering wheel randomly, and the result was that she really did cross the line.

"Don't be nervous, relax. Anyway I never expected you to pass in one go, and besides the exam fee is paid by our driving school, so what are you afraid of."

Zhu Jiajun comforted Zhou Jiayi in a relaxed tone.

"But I feel like I haven't practiced well enough."

Zhou Jiayi had no confidence in her heart.

Wang Xiaohua said to her:

"Just trust the coach; he won't harm you. He wants you to pass even more than you do — after all, only when you pass can he get his commission as soon as possible."

Speaking up to here, Wang Xiaohua looked up and asked Zhu Jiajun:

"Old classmate, you say, right?"

Zhu Jiajun laughed heartily and said:

"That's right. Other driving schools charge extra registration fees; maybe they'd even trap you for your registration fee. But our driving school includes the registration fee in the total cost. The more times you retake, the more we actually lose, so we sincerely hope you can pass in one go."

Hearing this, Zhou Jiayi was even more puzzled:

"Coach, if that's the case, why didn't you let me practice for one or two months, practice until I know it inside out, and then let me take the exam? Now I've only half-learned it, I really have no confidence!"

Zhu Jiajun laughed and said:

"You just trust me. Subject Two isn't something where the more familiar you are the better; good enough is good enough to go test. If you're too familiar, you might get careless instead and end up failing."

Zhou Jiayi sighed:

"Alright, alright..."

After picking up Zhou Jiayi, Zhu Jiajun went to the town street entrance nearby and picked up two more students.

Both students were male: one was a teenager who had just turned 18, named Zhou Jiaye; the other was a 30-plus social youth, named Chen Zhiqiang.

As soon as Chen Zhiqiang got in the car, he grinned and handed a cigarette to Zhu Jiajun, looking like a seasoned veteran.

Zhu Jiajun took the cigarette, but said to him:

"There's a girl in the car; you'd better wait a bit before smoking."

Chen Zhiqiang grinned and said:

"Okay, okay, then I'll smoke when we get to the test center!"

At this time Zhu Jiajun said to him:

"After you get your license this time, don't run red lights recklessly again; otherwise you'll lose all your points and have to retake the test."

It turned out this Chen Zhiqiang had his license revoked and then came back to retake the license exam.

He was already an old driver long ago.

Chen Zhiqiang replied with a smile:

"Got it, Coach. This time I get the license, I definitely won't mess around again. There's a saying: 'eat a setback, gain a wisdom'!"

"Uh, handsome... it's 'eat a ditch, gain a wisdom'..."

Zhou Jiayi weakly corrected.

Wang Xiaohua held back a laugh.

The other young man, Zhou Jiaye, was burying his head playing the mobile game Honor of Kings, which had only come out recently this year.

Chen Zhiqiang, after being corrected, wasn't annoyed at all, still grinning:

"Pretty girl, looks like you're a cultured person. It's all the same; anyway it's that meaning — everyone knows it, that's enough!"

Zhu Jiajun was speechless at Chen Zhiqiang's extremely relaxed attitude:

"You'd better not be too careless. You're the only 'retake' candidate among the four students going to test this time. If you fail, the joke will be huge."

Chen Zhiqiang still grinned cheekily:

"Relax, Coach. I'm a ten-year veteran driver; I'll definitely pass in one go! Besides, there are two chances; it's impossible to fail!"

Soon, Zhu Jiajun delivered everyone to the Subject Two test center on the county city side.

"All of you go in. I'll wait for you at the main gate. When you're done, come out and gather here!"

The four students got out of the car one after another, entered the test center, checked in, and then waited in the waiting hall.

The small county town doesn't have many people; the number of people coming to test for driver's licenses is far fewer than at the test centers in Guangzhou or Shenzhen, so the queue isn't that long either.

After waiting about half an hour, it was Wang Xiaohua's turn to take the exam.

Wang Xiaohua got in the car, drove slowly into the test course. First was reverse parking. His mindset was very steady, but he wasn't careless at all; every step followed the routine. At whatever point he should turn the steering wheel, he had completely memorized by heart.

So his reverse parking speed wasn't fast, but it was extremely steady.

Soon, the reverse parking test was finished, and following the voice prompts inside the car he drove forward to test parallel parking, which he also passed steadily; after that came the S-curve, which he likewise secured steadily.

The final item: hill start.

Xiao Hua drove the test vehicle, arriving steadily at the hill parking point and stopping steadily in the designated position, almost without a hair's breadth of error; however, when he restarted, an accident occurred!

Because this test vehicle differed somewhat from the driving school's coach cars, he couldn't at once gauge the pressure needed on the accelerator, and the engine stalled directly.

Restarting again, the voice prompt inside the car had already sounded: test failed.

This made Xiao Hua smile bitterly; just one step short of the finish.

Fortunately, there was still one more test attempt!

He neither indulged in self-pity nor became flustered because of it.

Because whether it was the coach or his Second Brother, they had long ago told him countless times that manual transmission cars stall easily on hill starts, especially when unfamiliar with the vehicle condition — even an old hand behind the wheel could stall.

So he quickly composed himself, drove the car back to the starting point, and then, under the examiner's instructions, re-entered the test course to begin the second attempt.

On the second attempt, Xiao Hua learned from his first mistake and made no further errors, passing smoothly!

Xiao Hua drove the car back to the starting point, and when he got out, a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

Although there was a small flaw in the middle, he had passed in the end.

He was the first to go in for the test; he thought he would be the first to come out.

Unexpectedly, when he reached the outside of the main gate, he discovered Zhou Jiayi had already come out long ago.

And judging from Zhou Jiayi's expression, she looked more delighted and excited than if she had received a big red envelope during Spring Festival; Xiao Hua knew she must have passed.

Sure enough, as soon as he walked over, Zhou Jiayi screamed:

"Top Scorer Brother, I passed, and on the first try at that! What about you, did you pass?"

So Zhou Jiayi had passed in one go; no wonder she entered the test later than Xiao Hua but came out earlier!

This guy's luck is really off the charts!

Xiao Hua smiled and said:

"Congratulations, I passed too."

Zhou Jiayi then said:

"That's all thanks to you, Top Scorer Brother; you gave me a lot of help!"

Zhu Jiajun laughed and said to Zhou Jiayi:

"Come on, does this coach have no credit at all?"

Zhou Jiayi hurriedly said:

"The coach has credit too! Thank you too! I'll treat you to a meal later!"

Zhu Jiajun said with a laugh:

"I said you had a chance to pass; now you should believe it, right!"
