Chapter 98 — He Can Actually Drift?

"Arrow Bro, get out and take a look—see what's going on up ahead?" Shen Yushu ordered Wei Zhao offhandedly.
"Uh... me going down is worse than you going down. If I go, you'll have to get out first anyway," Wei Zhao said with a wry smile.
Only then did Shen Yushu remember that there was no door beside Wei Zhao's back seat, so she had to get out herself. Though a crowd had gathered up ahead, a pretty girl like her naturally had plenty of people making way, and she soon came running back. "Sister Yaoyao, there's been a car accident up ahead. I'm afraid we won't get through for a while."
"You're kidding. That unlucky? Then let's find somewhere to park and walk a bit," Gu Mengyao said, rather helplessly.
"There's a public parking spot over there..." Shen Yushu pointed at a metered lot not far to the left of the road.
"Uh... Xiaoshu, you're a bit wicked, you know. You think I can park in there?" Gu Mengyao glanced at the empty space in the lot. In front of it stood a Toyota Coaster, behind it a Jinbei van; the two vehicles, big as they were, had squeezed the space between them so small that an ordinary person could never get in.
Even if Gu Mengyao's Audi S5 was a little smaller, getting it in there would be no ordinary feat.
Otherwise, in a commercial district this short on parking, on a weekend no less, how would a spot just happen to be free? It would have been taken long ago.
"Then what do we do?" Shen Yushu didn't drive and hadn't thought that far. Now, looking carefully at the space, she saw it really wasn't easy to get into.
"Tell you what, let's just park on the side of the road," Gu Mengyao said, starting the car and pulling over to the curb.
Wei Zhao looked at the big No Parking sign running the length of the street beside the car, then at Gu Mengyao, dumbfounded.
"A ticket doesn't cost points anyway, and Uncle Qing will take care of it," Gu Mengyao said, shrugging indifferently, having read his thoughts.
Wei Zhao sighed inwardly. A rich young lady is a rich young lady after all. He'd thought she was different from other second-generation rich kids, but in fact they shared one trait: money meant nothing to them.
"Let me do it." Speechless, Wei Zhao took the keys from Gu Mengyao's hand and sat down in the driver's seat.
"Hey, what are you doing? You don't even have a license!" Caught off guard, Gu Mengyao had her keys snatched and watched him climb in.
"Illegally parked, towed without exception..." Wei Zhao pointed at the small print under the No Parking sign. "Didn't you see what it says below? I'm afraid if you park here, we won't be able to get back later."
Without waiting for her to answer, Wei Zhao quickly started the car, stepped on the gas, and sped toward the public lot on the left side of the road. As the car neared the space, he yanked the wheel back, braked, and pulled the handbrake—a turn of five meters and one hundred eighty degrees—and the car swung its tail in a beautiful drift, sliding neatly into the parking space.
Wei Zhao had once watched a video online of someone stealing a parking spot, found it amusing, and practiced twice with a beat-up car.
"Ah—" Watching the car spin on the pavement, Gu Mengyao thought her car was done for and was already regretting letting Wei Zhao take the keys, only to discover in astonishment that the car had parked perfectly in the space.
"A drift! Sister Yaoyao, did you see that? A real drift! Arrow Bro can drift?" Shen Yushu cried out excitedly.
"Didn't he say he doesn't have a license? Liar." Though Gu Mengyao rather admired the drift, thinking back to how he'd claimed to have no license soured her mood. What a big liar—she'd been his chauffeur for nothing all this time. With skills like that, and he says he can't drive... Huh? Only then did Gu Mengyao recall that Wei Zhao hadn't said he couldn't drive; he'd only said he had no license...
