Chapter 37: The Hilarious Driving Lessons of the Clueless Beauty Begin!

It was a little after eight in the morning.

Numerous white driving school cars, like snails, repeatedly maneuvered within the still misty driving practice area of Chuanda Driving School. From an aerial perspective, it would likely have been a rather leisurely scene.

Bright, warm morning light streamed through the Jetta’s windshield, falling on Xia Xiangsi’s delicate, fair hands, highlighting a subtle blush, like the candied haws (a traditional Chinese snack) that Gu Yin’s younger sister loved this time of year—irresistibly appealing.

“You really don’t suffer losses,” she said, her hand brushing against her exquisite face as she blew on it lightly. Xia Xiangsi glanced at Gu Yin without much emotion.

“Huh? What?” Gu Yin hadn’t heard clearly, as he was busy blowing the tea leaves in his cup.

“Nothing, let’s practice driving,” Xia Xiangsi placed both hands on the steering wheel, her proud chin slightly raised, like the proudest swan in the world, arching her elegant neck.

“Mm.” Gu Yin fastened his seatbelt and asked, “Are you ready?”

“Ready.” Xia Xiangsi frowned slightly, “Why ask?”

Gu Yin didn’t speak, simply holding his thermos cup and glancing at her…

At this moment, with Xia Xiangsi appearing on screen, on the “Reconciling with Life” side, the viewership of his originally low-traffic livestream exploded.

In just a few minutes, several tens of thousands of people were online.

This was without any promotion; with promotion, the numbers would likely be even higher…

“Promote!”

From the backstage, Director Han decisively gave the order.

Over the past day, he had already figured out Gu Yin’s pattern: Xia Xiangsi’s appearances generated high viewership, and so did his on-road incidents. These two factors guaranteed explosive retention rates whenever they were promoted.

Yesterday, because Xia Xiangsi was present, and she had a conflict with that Kartelai female car owner, Gu Yin’s concurrent online viewership peaked at 300,000, reaching the top of the automotive category—a true dark horse in the category.

During this morning’s meeting, even the chief director mentioned it, bringing Director Han considerable face, hence his constant attention to Gu Yin’s livestream this morning.

With the promotion…

More and more people flooded into his livestream.

“I feel a little sorry for Xiangsi,” a staff member muttered quietly.

Yesterday, Xia Xiangsi’s driving blunders, those “clueless beauty” moments, had even made the trending topics…

Hopefully, the goddess would be more clever today.

“Whew…”

In the car, Gu Yin, without his seatbelt fastened, blew on the tea leaves in his cup again, carefully taking a sip before looking at Xia Xiangsi:

“I’m just asking you, are you really ready?”

Even Xia Xiangsi, with her calm disposition, couldn’t help but frown. Yesterday, she had already been ridiculed by so many people for coming to learn how to drive, and today she had intended to perform well, but why was Gu Yin making things difficult for her from the start?

Was he just looking for trouble?

Just as she was about to argue with Gu Yin, she saw him sigh helplessly and tug at his seatbelt for the third time:

“You haven’t fastened your seatbelt, how can you be ready?”

“I…”

Xia Xiangsi’s delicate, exquisite, and lively face began to visibly redden.

The girl embarrassedly rubbed her forehead, thinking, couldn’t he have just said it directly?!

A few comments softly floated across the livestream:

[Hahaha!]

[Goddess Xiangsi is killing me!]

[The instructor reminded her three times, but she didn’t realize it. She had to be told directly!]

[Goddess, you wouldn’t actually have a little problem with your brain, would you?]

After fastening her seatbelt, Xia Xiangsi, blushing, assumed a serious and vigilant posture.

“Don’t be so nervous, relax a little,” Gu Yin couldn’t help but tease her. “Those older ladies in the car next door, just pick any one of them, they’re all less clumsy than you, it’s okay.”

“Thank you,” Xia Xiangsi didn’t even look at him.

“You’re welcome,” Gu Yin laughed heartily.

“…Do you really think you’re complimenting me?” Even the taciturn goddess couldn’t help but grit her teeth inwardly.

“That’s how you said it, so that’s how I understood it. Is there a problem?” Gu Yin, thick-skinned as ever, continued, “Come on, give the steering wheel a couple of good whacks for me to see.”

Having practiced turning the steering wheel yesterday, Gu Yin figured he’d let her give it a couple of whacks to see how she did. He drank some water while saying this, thinking this shouldn’t be a problem, but…

The girl sitting beside him clenched her fists and actually “bang, bang” punched the steering wheel twice.

“Pffft…”

Gu Yin spat out a mouthful of soda two meters away, instantly widening his eyes:

“What the hell are you doing?”

“Didn’t you tell me to turn the steering wheel? I’m turning the steering wheel…” Xia Xiangsi was initially quite self-assured, but as she spoke, she suddenly seemed to realize something…

The blush that had not fully faded from her beautiful face, which seemed to exist on a different plane of reality from the surrounding scenery, once again fully bloomed!

Dyeing her fair face a vibrant color once more.

[Pfft… ]

[Hahahahaha… ]

The audience who had joined the livestream from “Reconciling with Life” were almost in tears of laughter.

[No way, isn’t Xia Xiangsi the cold beauty type? When did she become so funny?]

[How come I never knew she was so entertaining?]

[Hahaha, so funny, you’d think you were watching a variety show.]

“Cough cough… you…”

The water that had gone down the wrong pipe caused Gu Yin to cough continuously.

He raised his hand and casually placed it on Xia Xiangsi’s forehead. The touch was cool, and he couldn’t help but say:

“You don’t have a fever either, what’s going on?”

The touch on her forehead made Xia Xiangsi’s blush even deeper. The girl subconsciously shrank her neck, saying in a deeply embarrassed tone:

“I… I didn’t do it on purpose.”

“This is even worse than doing it on purpose!” Gu Yin touched his own forehead; he never expected such a person to end up in his car.

“You wouldn’t be here to test me, would you?” he couldn’t help but ask.

Xia Xiangsi became impatient, frowning and saying: “That’s enough, I have some pride too.”

“I’ve given you plenty of face!” Gu Yin’s mouth twitched. “Look, I’ve only asked if you’re here to test me, I’ve even wondered if you’re sick, I haven’t even called you stupid, am I not being respectful enough?”

“You!”

This “sharp-tongued” trait was not something Xia Xiangsi was experiencing for the first time with Gu Yin, but she still felt incredibly embarrassed, especially since he…

was livestreaming!

The thought of so many people witnessing her embarrassing side was incredibly frustrating.

“Fine… alright, don’t say anymore, just focus on the driving. I didn’t mean to do it.”

She forcibly changed the subject, her delicate, slender hands gripping the steering wheel and turning it several times to show her seriousness.

“Sigh…”

Gu Yin silently sighed. He had thought this goddess was just having a momentary lapse, and that she wouldn’t continue to be this clumsy.

But he never imagined that this was merely the beginning!
