Chapter 116: Learning to drive

The most noticeable difference in moving out of school is that the two of them spend a lot more time together than they did before.

But Tan Mo feels there could be more.

He has the means and the ability to fulfill Qiao Lan's needs outside of school - library, study room, gym, Tan Mo - all at home, and all activities can be done in his company.

Tan Mo did a good count of this, from the time they separated for classes at 8:00 a.m. yesterday morning, and returned home at 7:00 p.m., they spent sixteen of the twenty-four hours of the day together, minus the time they spent eating together at lunch.

It's exactly two-thirds of the way through the day, and Tan Mo is quite happy with the timing.

Yesterday was satisfactory, but today is not so satisfactory, because the preparatory phase of Qiao Lan's first club activity is finally over, and now it's time for the seminar phase.

At this stage, it's just not possible to go about your own business.

In the afternoon after class Qiao Lan went to the club side, Tan Mo expressionless sitting in the back seat of the car, Uncle Chen from the rearview mirror looked at Tan Mo a glance, after all, is a child since childhood, Uncle Chen still can probably guess why Tan Mo is not happy.

But after all, different from Tan Mo's idea, Uncle Chen didn't think there was anything wrong with Qiao Lan's behavior, after all, it was a school activity, so he thought carefully about whether he should find something for Tan Mo to divert his attention.

"Momo ah", Uncle Chen thought about it, "you are now an adult can take a driver's license, why don't you learn to drive when you have time, when you buy a car you and Lanlan go out is also more convenient."

"Hmm," Tan Mo responded with little interest, and after a few seconds suddenly came to life.

"Learn," Tan Mo said, "tomorrow."

Uncle Chen : "......???"

"Remember to let me know when you find someone."

Uncle Chen : ...... Why does he feel like he's not helping?

The next day, Uncle Chen contacted a private instructor for Tan Mo. The private instructor, who was much more expensive than a regular driving school, could fit Tan Mo's schedule and would not be as bad-tempered as a regular instructor.

The instructor called Tan Mo and asked him the exact time of day he could practice.

Tan Mo took his and Qiao Lan's schedules, compared them with each other, and then made up a timetable and sent it to the coach.

Recently, Qiao Lan has to go to the club every day, for a short time of 20 to 30 minutes, and for a long time of one to two hours. There is a night market outside the school, and many students like to go back to the dormitory from the night market after work, and Qiao Lan was packing up her things, when one of the older sisters said that she would like to go there, and so she asked Qiao Lan in passing if she would like to go.

Qiao Lan shook her head, "Not going, I have some business."

Uncle Chen had just texted her to ask when it would be over, and Qiao Lan had given her an approximate time, which was several minutes from now, meaning that Uncle Chen had been waiting for quite some time.

Usually it was Uncle Chen and Tan Mo who came to pick her up, but it was Tan Mo who tweeted to her, so why did it become Uncle Chen today?

Qiao Lan, somewhat puzzled, says goodbye to the crowd and heads downstairs.

She didn't say anything, like she was really just asking casually. After asking Qiao Lan, she asked the others, and after removing the ones who had the same object, and the ones who were going to the library, the remaining seven or eight people went to the night market together.

Qiao Lan came down from the upper floors and went out of the school gate, saw Uncle Chen's familiar black car, and realized that Tan Mo was not there when she climbed into the car.

"Uncle Chen, where's Momo?"

"Learning to drive," Uncle Chen sighed silently as he remembered the words Tan Mo had explained to him.

"Last time I wanted to let you both learn, the result is that he does not have an adult family do not want, I see that he is quite free in the evening recently, so sent to learn to drive, the boys, this is a necessary skill."

"Yes," Qiao Lan nodded, still feeling quite reasonable.

Although he already has a driver's license, but honestly Qiao Lan really do not dare to go on the road, if Tan Mo learned that would be better, after all, can not be so troublesome Uncle Chen, the old man should also rest more rest.

"Let's go back to dinner first, your aunt even left you dinner, and I'll pick up over at the driving school when it's about time."

"Good," Qiao Lan nodded, adding afterward, "I'll go too."

Uncle Chen remembered what Tan Mo had told him earlier, and then looked at the current Qiao Lan, smiling as the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes became more and more obvious.

Tan Mo finished at 9:30, Qiao Lan and Uncle Chen went over a few minutes early to watch Tan Mo learn how to drive.

Smart people are very smart in what they do, Tan Mo learns very fast, but when it's over Qiao Lan heard the coach and Uncle Chen muttering in whispers, saying that this child is so boring, learning to drive for more than two hours, the whole time except for the "hmmm" did not say a word.

Uncle Chen said cheerfully that Tan Mo is just like this.

After saying goodbye to the coach and returning to Uncle Chen's car, Tan Mo, who the coach said was expressionless and didn't speak at all, hugged Qiao Lan's waist and began to pout, rubbing her chin on Qiao Lan's shoulder, sounding as aggrieved as she was.

Tan Mo rubbed against Qiao Lan, his voice small, probably because he was afraid Uncle Chen could hear him, "Practicing is so boring, I don't even know what to say to the coach."

Qiao Lan remembered what the coach had just said and smiled as she touched Tan Mo's ear, "Why didn't you tell me you were going to learn how to drive."

"Uncle Chen suddenly proposed, looking for acquaintances, the process is very fast today just can go did not have time to tell you", Tan Mo said, "really boring ah, Lanlan, you accompany me to practice with the car, okay."

Qiao Lan said, "I will accompany you even if you don't say so." When she heard the instructor say that Tan Mo was too bored, Qiao Lan thought that she would accompany Tan Mo to practice, because she had been accompanying Tan Mo when she first learned to drive, and if Tan Mo didn't accompany her, she should be quite bored.

Tan Mo heard a satisfactory answer and deliberately asked Qiao Lan, "What about your club activities?"

"It's not really important work, we just sit around and talk", Qiao Lan said, because it's the first activity, so it's the simplest social survey, and recently we sat around and made speeches, and Qiao Lan had already made a speech, and the other two people from the same club who made speeches didn't come in the past two days, and Ji Su, they didn't seem to say anything. They don't seem to have said anything either.

So it's not a big problem. , Besides Tan Mo is practicing around 7pm and classes usually end at 5:20pm, so you can make it anyways.

Tan Mo was heartily happy, favoring a dignified nod, "That's good."

Qiao Lan was amused by his appearance and pinched Tan Mo's face and laughed, "Laugh when you're happy and act like this so I can't tell?"

"Even after pretending to be like this, my Lanlan is really smart", Tan Mo gave Qiao Lan a kiss on the cheek, and didn't mind Uncle Chen, who was sitting in front of him, taking the blame for him.

Uncle Chen shook his head helplessly, Alas, children are old enough to play tricks.

In the following days, if it was too late, Qiao Lan would not go, if it was early, she would go to the club, and if there was nothing important to arrange, she would leave early. Since it was dinner time in the afternoon, the older sister still asked her from time to time if she wanted to go to dinner with her, but Qiao Lan smiled and said she wouldn't go because her boyfriend was waiting downstairs.

The senior sister urged her to go quickly with a smile on her face. After Qiao Lan left, a girl couldn't hold back and said to the senior sister who had just called Qiao Lan, "She doesn't go every time, why do you keep calling out to her, senior sister?"

"Just asking, we're all in the same club," Pei Beijia smiled as she glanced over at Ji Su, "What do you want to eat today?"

Luo Man is not in a good mood, she is wilting. She doesn't know why, but she feels that the senior who has been very nice to her before has become cold to her recently.

Although she hadn't been very enthusiastic before, she still greeted her and smiled when she saw her, and she still answered her questions patiently, Luo Man always felt that something was wrong.

I was bored with my cell phone, and as soon as I had enough, I heard a girl say Qiao Lan's name right next to me.

After all, he had lived in the same dormitory for quite a long time, Luo Man subconsciously listened to what the two girls were saying, and then he heard one of the girls say that Qiao Lan was too independent.

Qiao Lan is indeed very unique, compared to everyone else.

However, the unique and reasonable, do not live in the school and boyfriend, do not and other people activities quite normal things, Luo Man secretly said that people alone or not alone is none of your business.

The next moment, another girl agreed that this is indeed the case, and said that although I know Qiao Lan is in love, but there is no one who is in love like this, and only things related to the boyfriend are all focused on the boyfriend, the club activities are almost all pushed back.

"So you're not the only one who feels that way," the girl said in surprise, "like she's afraid someone's going to abduct her boyfriend."

Said next to someone heard also laughed, "After all, is the school grass well, good-looking handsome family good ability is also strong, coveted by people is naturally quite a lot, look at the tight point is not incomprehensible ... ..."

Luo Man had been in a bad mood, and when he heard this, he was instantly enraged.

Luo Man admits that he is a bit jealous of Qiao Lan, after all, she is so beautiful and so good that he can't help but envy her at first, and apart from that, he also envies the relationship between Qiao Lan and Tan Mo.

Luo Man loves to gossip about Qiao Lan and Tan Mo when Qiao Lan was still living in the school. Liu Cancan has always disliked her for this, but Luo Man just likes to ask because Qiao Lan and Tan Mo are really sweet couple.

She couldn't say what was different, but she felt that there wasn't any room for anyone else between them, and Luo Man had never felt that a relationship could be as unreserved as this before.

Luo Man has grown up so much that she also hopes to meet someone she likes and who also likes her, and there can be sweet love between the two of them. Before she met Qiao Lan, she did not have a specific plan for the love she aspires for, until she saw Qiao Lan Tan Mo and realized that what she aspires for the most is also this kind of relationship.

Maybe it wasn't to defend Qiao Lan, it was just that this girl's words just now destroyed something beautiful and desirable in Luo Man's heart, plus Luo Man was already in a bad mood, so he choked with the two of them on the spot.

"If someone has a meal with his boyfriend, he is too exclusive and doesn't get along with the others. Who else in the club is in love and doesn't come and go every day, why don't you say that person is too exclusive? Qiao Lan, what's wrong with you guys? What's the point of talking behind their backs when Qiao Lan isn't gone and in front of them?"

The two girls who just spoke were classmates of Qiao Lan and Luo Man, and they usually greeted and talked to each other when they saw each other, so they really didn't expect Luo Man to suddenly quarrel with them over Qiao Lan.

Who does not gossip behind the scenes, how normal things, the results were Luo Man so said out how to listen to how strange, especially next to the older siblings also looked over.

Ji Su turned her head when she heard the word Qiao Lan, probably not expecting Luo Man to suddenly stand in for Qiao Lan, and watched with interest as Luo Man argued with the other two girls.

The two girls were a bit embarrassed, "I said Qiao Lan and none of your business ah, we did not say anything, but said Qiao Lan this is too unique, later out of the campus work certainly and other people can not get along with ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ..."

"People Qiao Lan looks is beautiful, high school talk about love college entrance exams seven hundred and two, no where can not match Tan Mo, what to look at tightly not tightly, people have long seen the parents wait for the legal age to get married, do not need to think about you, people wear thousands of dollars on the body tens of thousands of dollars of clothes, brand-name cosmetics casually buy, to worry about your future work smoothly or not, secretly poking and prodding to want to I'm not sure who I'm trying to belittle."
