miles, their eyes were filled with enmity.Zhang Xi and Li Ai, who had been the center of attention due to their mischief, now had more gossip material. Zhang Xi nodded sagely, "Our class is sure to be...Chapter 120: Unusual Insight

The Deputy Secretary was delighted to have kicked Wang Weiwei and his two friends out of the house. Wang Bo lived in a building in the municipal compound, and he only went home occasionally; most of the time, he stayed at the municipal compound for work convenience. Moreover, that villa in Rongcheng Garden had become a playground for Wang Weiwei and the others, making it almost impossible for him to find peace there.

Furthermore, the three young men were grown up now and needed their own space. It wasn’t quite appropriate for them to be around him all the time. The two boys and the girl would always obey him in front of him, but Lin Luoran's attempt to act ladylike made Wang Bo feel she was struggling too much. On the other hand, Lin Zhoudou’s courteous and disciplined behavior amused Wang Bo.

He decided not to interfere with their lives anymore. However, during holidays when they would be idle and might cause trouble, he thought it better for them to have a structured life at the driving school.

"We are too late. Tang Wu took her theory test earlier than us. Are we still in the same batch" When Su Can, Wang Weiwei, and others arrived at the driving school to start their theoretical studies, they learned that Tang Wu had already passed the theory test and was on the road.

"We should be in the same batch; she just took her exam earlier," Lin Luoran said with a smile.

This was the largest driving school in Rongcheng, especially during peak holiday periods. The lecture room filled with nearly eighty people for theoretical lessons; their group seemed particularly noisy compared to others. Most importantly, Lin Luoran's presence made her quite noticeable, attracting many male students’ gazes frequently.

"Some students think the theory test is too easy and don’t pay attention, but they should take it seriously. Many fail due to carelessness in theoretical knowledge and can't get on the road for weeks!"

More people now openly looked at them. A group of young men around twenty-two or twenty-three years old, dressed quite prominently, followed suit with some nearby girls looking at Lin Luoran with wary and disapproving looks.

Feeling somewhat targeted, Lin Luoran frowned, got up, and packed her books, saying, "The teacher is just going over what's in the book. It’s better for me to study on my own; after all, it will be a unified test later anyway." Then she looked at Wang Weiwei, Lin Zhoudou, and Su Can, asking, “Are you guys leaving”

Wang Weiwei hesitated, which made Lin Luoran displeased. She then pouted and looked over at Su Can.

Lynn Luo's gaze always had a certain destructive power. Her personality seemed to have two extremes—one was lively and capricious, as she would not hold back when punching her thick-skinned elder brother Lin Zhouda; the other was as composed as autumn leaves, but her eyes alone could make any normal man’s heart palpitate.

Su Cen felt overwhelmed again and said, "Okay. Then let's go back to read on our own."

"That's right." Lynn Luo seemed relieved, placing the book she was holding into Su Cen's hand and using her other arm to hold onto his. She leaned closely against him, making Su Cen stiff in comparison to her softness, but he allowed her to do so as they walked out of the classroom.

Behind them, those restless youths were questioning their teacher indignantly, "Hey! Don't you guys control such arrogance Whose kids are so great"

Wang Weiwei and Lin Zhouda were more shocked by Su Cen and Lynn Luo walking out together than they were annoyed at the noisy youth. Their expressions differed sharply from those around them, who seemed disappointed to find that someone had claimed this "flower." Lin Zhouda nudged Wang Weiwei with his elbow and pointed at Lynn Luo's departing back, saying, "This little girl is getting curvier."

Wang Weiwei awkwardly swallowed the lump in his throat before standing up with Lin Zhouda to follow them out. This caused a commotion in the classroom.

Once outside, Lynn Luo naturally separated from Su Cen. Although she appeared calm as if nothing had happened, her nervousness was revealed by the way her slender legs retreated behind her short skirt, making it difficult for her to conceal her true feelings or act like a woman who has seen many ups and downs in life.

"Impure motives, impure motives." Su Cen shook his head. He assumed that Lynn Luo was displeased with the frequent gazes directed at her legs and figure from those inside the classroom and thus took this opportunity to declare her relationship status, provoking the "wolves" in the classroom.

"Mind your own business."

Lynn Luo smiled and waved dismissively. "There's not a single man in there that suits my taste. If one day I do find an exceptional guy, you'd better stay far away so as not to affect me negatively."

Su Cen made an "oh" sound. Although he had grown accustomed to Lynn Luo's sharp wit over time, his mood inexplicably fell. Perhaps if he were ever in the position of those male students becoming the target of Lynn Luo’s provocations, he wouldn’t have felt much better either. After rebirth, only a few people could truly touch his heart—Lynn Luo being one of them.

You should argue back! Aren't you Su Cen also quick-witted and eloquent Haven't you given speeches on stage before Didn't you persuade that girl who wanted to jump from the building Why aren’t you arguing back

Su Cen's indifferent "oh" suddenly made Lin Luoran feel a bit angry; even though she was the one speaking, his reaction to her words infuriated her.

The sudden silence of Lin Luo Ran would likely seem somewhat unusual to those who knew her in their circle.

"Su Cen, do you know how special you are to me"

Outside the deserted classroom, under a dimly lit corridor with few windows, when Lin Luoran spoke these words, she stared straight ahead. Her eyes showed ripples of emotion, making her statement abrupt yet oddly unbelievable.

"How special exactly" Su Cen cursed himself for his mouth; he should have kept silent at this moment, shouldn't he Why did he just blurt out such a question

The atmosphere was eerie, like tempting a little girl to watch goldfish.

Unfortunately, even though Lin Luo Ran was young, she was astoundingly shrewd. Hearing footsteps approaching the classroom door, she reached out and gently took the theoretical test textbook from Su Cen's hand: "This level of specialness is something I wouldn't trade for an exceptional man."

At this stage, driving schools in Rongcheng still used Jeep fuel-injected instructor cars. The interior was spacious enough to carry eight people easily. In the end, everyone ended up sharing a single car.

"Tang Wu just drove through the pole perfectly on her first try; we can't let people say we're inferior to a woman! Don’t be so timid, how could men possibly lose to a woman" Wang Weiwei, sitting in the front passenger seat, was goading Lin Zhouwu beside him without pause.

Lin Zhouwu, flustered and sweating profusely while looking at the rearview mirror, said, "For Christ's sake, stop it! I wasn’t nervous before but you’re making me panic!"

The news of Wang Weiwei taking driving lessons was kept under tight wraps by Wang Bo. He merely set the target; Wang Weiwei and his companions took care of signing up themselves. Thus, this group was extremely low-key. They collectively requested to be in one car together, and considering that they were senior three students who wanted to stay together, the school allowed it.

"Here, drink some water. It’s hot." Su Cen handed over two bottles of mineral water he had brought, giving them respectively to Tang Wu and Lin Luoran.

Ling Ran said "thank you," took the bottle, opened it, and then suddenly saw a car driving by them very elegantly. It made a beautiful turn right in front of them and stopped. The young man sticking his head out was one of those he had seen in theory class. He leaned on the window proudly and looked around at Ling Ran and Tang Wu, asking, "Beautiful ladies, shall we go together"

Before the two girls could react, he started up the electric scooter again and sped off toward the enclosed practice area, showing off his driving skills to the limit.

Ling Ran flicked his wrist and threw a bottled water at him. The sound of the bottle smashing against something resonated through the air.

She must have snapped out of her shock from that braggart's provocations, as she had never encountered such an arrogant person before in her life.

Tang Wu turned away with a frown. Although his driving skills were impressive and it was no easy feat to make the electric scooter produce this deep rumbling noise when its engine hit high RPMs, there wasn’t much merit in showing off like that.

Su Can looked at their coach and pointed towards the other side, asking, "Is it alright for them to act like this Shouldn't their coaches do something about it"

Coach Li was around thirty years old. He generally thought highly of Su Can and his group. Back then, driving schools in Rongcheng weren’t that black-and-white bad yet. As for the practice of instructors hinting to students to buy them cigarettes or treat them to meals, it wasn't very common at this point in time. Moreover, Instructor Li was quite responsible, teaching a bunch of third-year high school students who still relied on their parents financially, and there was no real profit in it.

Li replied, "We can’t do anything about these kids; our principal has warned us not to provoke them. One is the son of the provincial Development and Reform Commission director while another is the nephew of Colonel Zhang Qiao from the Rongcheng Military District’s 83rd Division. When they got into a fight with their instructor at sign-in, he was too angry to care anymore and let them do as they pleased. These kids are different from you; who can actually teach them"

Ling Ran spat out, "The son of the city’s Secretary is still very well-behaved, so are a few others from the provincial military district. I’ve never seen such ill-mannered people."

Li took her comment as an exaggerated joke and laughed, "You’re right; these kids’ backgrounds probably aren’t that great either. Those with real connections would be more careful about their image and wouldn’t act so ostentatiously—after all, many are concerned about their reputations. Alright, we’ll focus on our practice and not bother with them."
