Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Wang Xiaohua returned home and used his mobile phone to schedule the Subject Three exam time; he felt going to test in half a month would be fine, mainly because he had to accommodate Zhou Jiayi, fearing she might need to practice for a comparatively long time.

So after picking a good time, he discussed it with Zhou Jiayi.

Zhou Jiayi happily agreed.

But after they had agreed, he mentioned it to Zhu Jiajun, and Zhu Jiajun said it was too late; they should schedule it for next week to test, that way he could take them for road practice tomorrow, whereas if it was half a month later, they would have to wait until next week to get road practice.

"Subject Three doesn't need that much practice; our County Town's test venue road conditions are very good, it's very easy to pass!"

Zhu Jiajun said so.

Wang Xiaohua then asked:

"Old classmate, Subject Three is an actual road segment exam; is it really okay not to practice until familiar before going to test?"

Zhu Jiajun however said:

"At most practice three or four days; after three or four days you must go test. Top Scorer, you're that clever, you'll definitely pass!"

Wang Xiaohua then said:

"I'm not worried about myself, but worried about Zhou Jiayi; can she manage in three or four days?"

Zhu Jiajun however said:

"This is the Driving School's regulation; no matter when you schedule the exam, you can only practice three or four days. If she can't pass, then just test again next time."

Wang Xiaohua was helpless about this; in his heart he knew the Driving School side probably didn't want students occupying too many resources; after all, actual road practice, if practiced too long, would probably cost quite a lot in fuel money.

So practicing a few days then going to test is the most efficient and money-saving method.

Wang Xiaohua then said:

"Then you tell Zhou Jiayi."

Before long, Zhou Jiayi sent a voice message, dejectedly saying the Driving Coach told her to change the time; no matter which day she scheduled, she could only practice four days at most.

So she planned to schedule for next Thursday morning to test.

Wang Xiaohua didn't say anything, only replied with a single character: OK.

After changing the time, the next day Zhu Jiajun came to pick them up for car practice.

Besides Wang Xiaohua and Zhou Jiayi, Zhou Jiaye also came along, and additionally there was another girl named Zhang Xiaomei.

Zhang Xiaomei had failed Subject Three once; this time she belonged to the second round of coming to practice.

Zhu Jiajun drove the car to a stretch of road near the County Town, then said to everyone:

"This morning we'll practice lights first. Just this button: high beam, low beam, fog lights, left turn signal, right turn signal, etc., you need to memorize them. The first item of Subject Three is the simulated lights test; after passing the lights test, then you go on the road. Before the lights test, you need vehicle preparation; vehicle preparation means you need to get off the car, then walk counterclockwise around the car once. The test car's four corners all have buttons; after you get off, walk counterclockwise one circle, press each of those four buttons in turn. After pressing them, return to the car, first fasten the seat belt, then start the lights test!"

Immediately Zhu Jiajun played a simulated exam voice prompt, letting the four take turns sitting in the driver's seat to practice vehicle preparation and simulated lights.

While he himself got off the car and went nearby to squat and smoke.

Zhang Xiaomei had practiced once before, so this time she was familiar with it; after practicing a while, she told Zhu Jiajun she was already familiar, didn't want to practice this anymore, she wanted to practice gear shifting.

Zhu Jiajun said, then you get off and wait on the side; wait until they've practiced until familiar, then go together to practice gear shifting!

After about an hour and a half, everyone had practiced more or less enough; Zhu Jiajun drove the car, taking everyone on the road.

"Everyone listen carefully: although Subject Three is a road test, nobody needs to panic; actually it's similar to Subject Two, just remember what to do at each point and do it routinely. After we start, we need to pull over and stop; after pulling over, start again, then lane change, straight driving, gear shifting, etc. I'll give you a walk-around; wherever you need to tap the brake, you must remember well."

Zhu Jiajun followed the road, giving everyone a demonstration once.

Then not caring whether everyone remembered or not, he let them take turns one by one to go to the driver's seat and drive the vehicle.

Because Zhang Xiaomei had tested once before and was comparatively familiar, she was let go first to get hands-on, then Wang Xiaohua, then Zhou Jiaye, and finally Zhou Jiayi.

That is to say, before Zhou Jiayi personally went on the road to drive, she could still watch three rounds of how others operated, where mistakes were easy to make, where attention was needed.

Result: when it was her turn, she was still nervous to death, both hands gripping the steering wheel, muscles all stiff, palms even sweating.

Zhu Jiajun was somewhat at a loss whether to cry or laugh at this:

"Jiayi ah, if you're this scared, after you get your license don't become a road killer."

Zhou Jiayi laughed embarrassedly:

"Driving Coach, I'm afraid, what should I do?"

Zhu Jiajun said:

"What can be done? Drive a few more laps; once you're used to it you won't be afraid."

Zhou Jiayi however was still very afraid; the car speed was only under 30, yet she was nervous to the point of not knowing what to do, from time to time staring at the instrument panel; the moment speed increased slightly, she hurriedly stomped the brake.

Making the three people sitting in the back row — Wang Xiaohua, Zhou Jiaye, Zhang Xiaomei — almost carsick.

"Driving Coach, you help Zhou Jiayi cover the instrument panel, then let her accelerate."

Wang Xiaohua really couldn't bear to watch anymore, couldn't help but say this one sentence.

Zhu Jiajun heard it and it also made sense.

So he found a cloth from the car, covered it over the instrument panel, and said to Zhou Jiayi:

"From now on, whatever I tell you to do, you do it; step on the accelerator!"

Zhou Jiayi was about to cry:

"Driving Coach, I'm afraid; will this really not cause a car accident?"

Zhu Jiajun said:

"What are you afraid of? If you have a car accident, I, this Driving Coach, bear full responsibility! Hurry up, step on the accelerator!"

Zhou Jiayi had no choice but to comply, stepping on the accelerator.

She couldn't help but complain to Xiao Hua:

"Top Scorer, you're going to get me killed."

Zhou Jiaye then said:

"Jiayi is a girl; just let her practice slowly, there's no need to be like this, right?"

Zhou Jiaye's words carried the meaning of blaming Xiao Hua for coming up with a bad idea.

Xiao Hua ignored him.

Zhu Jiajun also ignored him.

Seeing Zhou Jiayi pressing the accelerator carefully, softly, unable to pick up speed at all, he said:

"Haven't you eaten? Step on the accelerator hard, hurry up, if you dawdle like this nobody needs to practice."

Urged on by Zhu Jiajun, Zhou Jiayi could only brace herself and step on the accelerator.

The car finally began to accelerate.

Once it reached a certain speed, Zhu Jiajun shouted: let off the accelerator, press the clutch, shift into second gear, step on the accelerator!

The car's speed climbed higher, then he had Zhou Jiayi let off the accelerator, press the clutch, shift into third gear!

Then again: let off the accelerator, press the clutch, shift into fourth gear!

Zhou Jiayi gripped the steering wheel tightly, extremely nervous, but once the speed picked up and she drove for a while, for some reason she wasn't so afraid anymore.

Then the road gave a bump, the cloth on the instrument panel was shaken loose; Zhou Jiayi glanced at it and discovered her speed had already reached 80, she was immediately scared half to death and hurriedly stomped on the brake!

Zhu Jiajun was speechless:

"Hey, I didn't tell you to hit the brake, what are you pressing for!"

Zhou Jiayi looked aggrieved:

"Coach, I'm scared..."
