"But... I really don't have a driver's license..." Wei Zhao looked equally helpless. "What if I get locked up for fifteen days?"
Gu Mengyao was speechless. She thought to herself, with your relationship with Qiu Lingshan being what it is, who would dare lock you up? But she didn't say it. She huffily sat down in the driver's seat and started the car.
"Sister Yaoyao, are we going to eat fried mushrooms again today?" Not far from the commercial street was a snack street. Every evening, a crowd of food stalls set up there. Last time they had gone out shopping, the two of them had eaten there once, and Shen Yushu had been unable to forget one fried-mushroom stall. Even now, just thinking about it made her mouth water.
Gu Mengyao was just about to say "Sure!" when she thought of Wei Zhao in the back seat, so she turned her head. "Hey, are you coming or not? If not, I'll drop you off at home."
"I'm going. It's just eating, right? That's my specialty." Wei Zhao nodded with a perfectly straight face.
Gu Mengyao was a little speechless. In this world, there were people good at all kinds of things, but she had never seen anyone shamelessly boast that they were good at eating the way Wei Zhao did... She wanted to ask him whether, besides being good at eating, he was also good at taking a dump. But that didn't sound very ladylike, and remembering she was a girl, Gu Mengyao held it in.
"Ha, Brother Jianpai, we really are kindred spirits! I'm great at it too." Shen Yushu, on the other hand, was all excitement, as if this were fate itself.
Gu Mengyao truly didn't know what to say... How embarrassing. How utterly embarrassing.
"I love fried mushrooms. What about you?" Shen Yushu, who hadn't noticed Gu Mengyao's expression, chattered on excitedly with Wei Zhao.
"I like fried chicken strips," Wei Zhao said.
"Cough, cough..." Gu Mengyao really had reached the end of her patience. "Haven't you two ever heard of gutter oil?"
"I've heard of it, Sister Yaoyao, but what does gutter oil have to do with fried mushrooms?" Shen Yushu asked blankly.
"Urgh..." Gu Mengyao floored the gas pedal, and the S5 bolted forward. That was the only outlet she had left—she had been completely defeated.
Wei Zhao was just puzzling over this. Shen Yushu didn't seem like the kind of silly girl who wouldn't even understand the connection between gutter oil and fried mushrooms. But then he caught the faint, barely perceptible smile at the corner of her mouth, and he understood—she was doing it on purpose.
The snack street still had nowhere to park. Since parking wasn't restricted there, quite a few cars were scattered around in no particular order. Gu Mengyao frowned. Every time she went out, the thing she hated most was finding a parking spot.
In Songshan City, the number of private cars had grown at an astonishing rate over the past two years. What annoyed Gu Mengyao especially was that the number of private cars had only started suddenly surging after she got her driver's license...
"You park." Gu Mengyao got out of the car and said to Wei Zhao. "Little Shu and I are going to eat. Buy whatever you want for yourself. Don't worry about us."
"Oh." Wei Zhao got out unconcernedly, climbed into the driver's seat Gu Mengyao had just vacated, found a gap, and parked the car without blocking the road. As for Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu wanting to go off on their own, Wei Zhao wasn't surprised. After all, if he followed behind them while they ate street food, they wouldn't be able to let loose. Shen Yushu was already immune to him, but Gu Mengyao was very reserved, and Wei Zhao had no intention of ruining her appetite.
