Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

In the blink of an eye, the next day arrived, and Wang Xiaohua continued going to practice driving.

Meanwhile, Wang Erhai went into the county town, inquiring everywhere about where to buy sand sugar orange seedlings.

After inquiring for a long time, he finally found out that he would have to go to some county towns further south to be able to buy this kind of seedling.

Wang Erhai is a man of action; that very day he drove to that county town, went straight to the fruit seedling cultivation base, and inquired about the price of this seedling.

And that same day he ordered three thousand seedlings and paid the deposit.

Only after handing over the deposit did he run back from that county town.

After returning, he immediately contacted idle villagers in the village, found a few villagers, and had them help cut down all the trees on the farm's mountainside; then he contacted an excavator, and once the trees on the mountain were cut, he had a firebreak cleared, set fire to burn the mountain, and after the burning was done, had the excavator come clear the mountain; once the mountain was cleared, they could go to the seedling base to fetch the seedlings and plant them!

One must admit, Wang Erhai handles things with remarkable speed and decisiveness; his efficiency is truly top-notch.

As for Wang Xiaohua's side, after practicing Subject Three for four days, the exam time arrived in a flash.

Early this morning, just as dawn was breaking, Zhu Jiajun drove Wang Xiaohua, Zhou Jiayi, Zhou Jiaye, and Zhang Xiaomei together to the Subject Three test venue.

The reason they arrived so early was that arriving early allowed them all to do a practice lap on the actual test course, so that when the exam came they would have confidence, wouldn't panic as much, and their pass rate would increase.

The four took turns running a lap — that meant four laps total — and by the time the four laps were done, it was already eight o'clock in the morning.

On the test venue side, the formal exam was about to begin.

Once the formal exam started, driving school cars could no longer occupy the venue for practice; if caught, the entire driving school would be penalized.

"Coach, I'm a bit nervous!"

As the exam approached, Zhou Jiayi was panic-stricken again.

That's just how she is — poor stress tolerance; the slightest thing and she panics; last night she didn't sleep well at all.

Zhu Jiajun comforted her:

"Don't panic, believe in yourself, you can do it; didn't you pass Subject Two on the first try?"

Zhu Jiajun would of course never undermine Zhou Jiayi at a time like this; even though he knew in his heart that Zhou Jiayi's practice was truly mediocre — the worst of the four — he still spoke words of encouragement to her.

Wang Xiaohua also encouraged her:

"Don't overthink it, just go up and take the test; worst case you fail this time, you can come back for a retest next time."

Zhou Jiaye also said:

"Exactly, no need to panic at all; it's just Subject Three, very simple!"

For many male students, Subject Three is indeed much simpler than Subject Two.

But for some people with a fear of getting on the road, it's harder than Subject Two by more than one dimension.

Soon the exam was about to start.

Everyone entered the venue to check in, waiting for the staff's arrangement.

Because it was the county city test center, the number of people coming to take the Subject Three exam was still not large.

So it was soon Wang Xiaohua and his group's turn.

After Wang Xiaohua's name was called, he immediately took his ID card and went up to the exam car; the examiner verified his ID, and then the exam began.

Wang Xiaohua operated calmly: pre-exam walk-around inspection, then lights, then roadside parking, then pulling out, lane changes, passing zebra crossings and school zones with horn checks, straight-line driving, gear shifting, turning, etc. — every item he had mastered thoroughly, so he completed them routinely and calmly.

Wang Xiaohua was originally extremely good at taking exams; for this kind of exam that only requires mechanical operation without much brainwork, it was even more effortless.

So after he finished, hearing the voice announcement's four words "Passing Grade," his heart remained undisturbed.

After all, everything was within expectations.

Wang Xiaohua was the first to return to Zhu Jiajun's side.

"Old classmate, how did it go?"

"Passed."

Wang Xiaohua answered with a smile.

"Good, good! I knew you'd pass! You're the steadiest driver among the four students this time!"

Zhu Jiajun wasn't too surprised that Wang Xiaohua passed Subject Three.

As a veteran coach, he knew better than anyone that whether it's Subject Two or Subject Three, steadiness is the most important thing!

Before long, Zhou Jiaye and Zhang Xiaomei both came out.

They both passed.

But Zhou Jiayi still hadn't come out after a long wait.

After about twenty more minutes, Zhou Jiayi finally came out of the exam venue crying.

It was very obvious that this time she wasn't so lucky.

It was very obvious she had failed.

"Little Sister Jiayi, don't be discouraged; you have five exam attempts total; if you didn't pass this time, just take it again next time!"

Zhu Jiajun comforted Zhou Jiayi like this.

But Zhou Jiayi said:

"But school starts soon, and once it starts I won't have time to come back and practice driving!"

Zhu Jiajun said:

"Then you'll have to arrange your own time; you can come practice on Saturdays and Sundays."

Zhou Jiayi looked at everyone:

"Did you all pass?"

Learning that everyone else had passed while she alone had not, she felt even sadder.

Zhu Jiajun hurried to comfort her:

"Don't cry, I'll treat you all to lunch today!"

Four students, three passed — this pass rate was pretty good, so Zhu Jiajun was in a great mood.

At this moment Wang Xiaohua said:

"Coach, after passing Subject Three, can't you go take Subject Four immediately? I want to go take Subject Four right now."

Zhu Jiajun was stunned:

"You haven't studied Subject Four yet, right? If you go take it now, can you pass?"

He originally thought he would wait a few days, then schedule another time to take the Subject Three passers to take Subject Four.

But Wang Xiaohua said:

"I studied it early, the content is similar to Subject One, there shouldn't be a problem."

Seeing Zhu Jiajun's face show a hint of difficulty, Wang Xiaohua hurriedly said:

"How about this, you guys go eat, I won't go, I'll take a taxi to the test venue now."

Zhang Xiaomei spoke up at this time:

"Why don't I go try too? Anyway there are several chances, if I don't pass this time I can just schedule another time; if by chance I pass, then I won't have to make an extra trip."

Zhu Jiajun asked Zhou Jiaye:

"Zhou Jiaye, what about you?"

Zhou Jiaye glanced at Zhou Jiayi:

"How about Coach you take those two to take Subject Four, I won't take it for now, I'll keep Jiayi Jie company for lunch. Jiayi Jie, whatever you want to eat, just say it, my treat!"

Zhou Jiayi hesitated a moment, looked at Wang Xiaohua, and finally agreed:

"Okay."

Seeing Wang Xiaohua show no reaction at all, her expression couldn't help but show some disappointment.

Meanwhile Zhou Jiaye didn't notice this at all, and immediately became excited.

Because this time, it was just him and Zhou Jiayi going to eat together — wasn't that practically a date?

But when Zhou Jiayi and Zhou Jiaye arrived at the County Commercial Center.

Zhou Jiayi said:

"I'm going home, I won't go eat with you."

Zhou Jiaye's scalp instantly tingled, his face full of bewilderment:

"Jiayi Jie, didn't we just agree to go eat together?"

But Zhou Jiayi said:

"Just now with so many people watching, I didn't want to embarrass you, so I agreed; now it's just the two of us, I'll speak plainly — you're a nice person, but you're not my type, so don't come bother me anymore."

Finishing these words, Zhou Jiayi turned and left.

Leaving Zhou Jiaye alone, bewildered on the spot.
