smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since last time, to settle some affairs, he drove to West Mountain Black Water River to dispose of a body and accidentally unlocked the \"driving\" skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since then, apart from practicing twice with Ma Donghe’s vintage car, he hadn’t touched a steering wheel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, with his own vehicle, this long-static experience bar could finally start rolling again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng extended a finger and casually swiped on the central control touchscreen to open the music playlist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dynamic song flowed out from the Berlin Voice speakers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the strong drum beats accompanied, the car windows quietly rolled down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gentle evening breeze, mixed with the unique hustle of the city, swooped in, dispelling the leather scent of the new car interior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was dusk, the peak of rush hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sunset dyed the sky into a magnificent orange-red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Traffic moved slowly, resembling a long dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng’s hands rested leisurely on the steering wheel, fingertips gently tapping to the music’s beat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This feeling of having a steel beast under control truly intoxicated him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t help but ponder in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he were to elevate his driving skill to expert level, what kind of unexpected enhancement rewards might he receive?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thought, like a spark from a spark plug, instantly ignited a bit of restlessness in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng instinctively pressed harder with his foot, the V8 engine roared deeply, responding instantly with power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive car body lunged forward abruptly, like a beast ready to pounce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a flash, he zoomed past a slow-moving sedan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thrill from the speed made Fang Cheng even more invested, further accelerating forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the passenger seat, Zhou Xiumei was startled by the sudden force, letting out an exclamation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She instinctively gripped the handle beside her, her face turning a bit pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh, sorry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Fang Cheng immediately released the accelerator, calming the car’s speed, glancing at her apologetically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xiumei didn’t reply, merely releasing the handle gently, her chest heaving slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, instead of chastising, she couldn’t help but laugh, shaking her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes carried a hint of helplessness, mingled with a touch of indulgence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like returning to her childhood, watching a big boy excitedly show off a beloved toy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind continuously surged in from the window, lifting her long hair draped over her shoulder, brushing against her chiseled, jade-like nose, partially shading her gem-like eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The curve of her lips was like a crescent moon, pure and beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng’s gaze was involuntarily drawn to this scene, lingering a second longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come to think of it, the woman beside him, frail and sickly since childhood, rarely displayed such unguarded, genuine smiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps Fang Cheng’s gaze was too focused, Zhou Xiumei sensed something and turned her face aside, her long eyelashes fluttering gently like butterfly wings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She raised a hand, tucking the unruly strand of hair behind her ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this motion, a blush swiftly spread from her fair neck to her cheeks, much like the evening glow in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng timely raised the window, isolating the outside noise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air inside the car momentarily seemed frozen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the dynamic music remained, echoing in the cabin like a heartbeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng gripped the steering wheel again, gazing straight ahead at the traffic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xiumei slightly lowered her head, her fingertips trailing along the seatbelt’s edge, her face still flushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Between them, a silent understanding and a hazy sentiment quietly burgeoned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To break the slightly awkward atmosphere, Fang Cheng coughed and proactively found a topic:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, how’s your learning going at the music training class?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiumei’s eyes indeed brightened instantly, her tone becoming much more relaxed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Last week’s stage assessment, I scored full marks in my vocal and guitar classes, and the teacher praised me for making rapid progress.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, you naturally have talent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng smiled, his tone filled with genuine encouragement:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Prepare well. I believe in you. You’ll surely pass the May auditions easily. I’ll be your fan club leader then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xiumei nodded firmly, her mouth blooming into a radiant smile: \"Brother Cheng, it’s a deal, okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they chatted, they regained their freedom\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This promise was like a drop of honey, slowly dissolving in Zhou Xiumei’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned to look out the window, watching the crimson sun slowly sink between the towering buildings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden rays pierced through the gaps of skyscrapers, every glass curtain wall reflecting the glow of the setting sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole world was shrouded in a gentle light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xiumei imagined standing on stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below there would be his focused gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This beautiful vision lifted her lips, and with the music inside the car, she began humming softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a melody without lyrics, clean and ethereal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng glanced at her, silently turning off the car stereo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without external noise, Zhou Xiumei’s singing was clearer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice lacked the flashy technique of professional singers but carried a spring-like clarity and purity, as if capable of cleansing the spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the small space of the car cabin, each note appeared exceptionally moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng drove silently, his heart filled with unprecedented calm and comfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed to see again that afternoon years ago, a little girl lying alone on the windowsill, humming yet unformed songs to the sunlight outside the tubular building.\u003C\u002Fp>",911,"2026-05-29T15:13:35.798Z","2026-06-01T04:29:35.325Z",1,"novelbin.me","b0f78827228bb424d6d8066fb699614215dbbb929f2990f157741ecc40e437d6","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-652","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-600",1278,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-cover.jpg"]
