65: Chapter 65 A Bizarre Duet
Perhaps daunted by Chen Sheng's suddenly heightened aura, the Female Passenger was no longer aggressive. However, it was impossible to make her yield just like that, so she changed her strategy, saying with a sarcastic tone:
"How are ride-hailing drivers these days like this? Can I guarantee you won't peek at me just by sitting in the back row? Can a seat completely cover me?"
"As long as you have the heart to peek, it's all the same regardless of where I sit."
"Sigh!" Chen Sheng sighed wordlessly.
He didn't even know how many times he had sighed today, and he didn't know if it would cause shortness of breath.
Chen Sheng pointed to the rearview mirror on the Female Passenger's side and argued intensely: "I really was looking at the rearview mirror. Besides, you're wearing a mask, what could I possibly see?"
Who knew...
"Hmph~" the woman sneered, "Finally admitted it! You were just peeking at me."
"I..." Chen Sheng suddenly slapped his forehead, his whole body crashing heavily into the seatback, "I..."
Oh, heavens! If I have done something wrong, even if you send down lightning to strike me, please don't arrange these nutjobs to punish me.
Chen Sheng sat up straight again, his whole face twisted together, and explained excitedly: "I really didn't peek at you, if you're going to say it like that..."
Chen Sheng pulled his mask up, covering his eyes directly, "I can't see now, right? But can I drive like this?"
After dropping that line, Chen Sheng pulled the mask down forcefully. Perhaps because he used too much force, one of the strings used to secure the mask was snapped by Chen Sheng.
Also, if looks could kill, this Female Passenger would have already become a bloody sieve by now.
"Are you sick in the head?" Perhaps Chen Sheng's expression was too ferocious; the woman subconsciously leaned back, saying with disgust: "Forget it, I'm not riding in your car."
Having said that, she prepared to open the car door and get out.
Chen Sheng hurriedly called out to the Female Passenger, "Wait, wait, wait, beautiful lady, next time I suggest you sit in the trunk when riding, that way you won't be afraid of being peeked at, okay?"
Did you think he was trying to get her to stay?
"Heh~"
The woman opened the car door, and while getting out, she retorted: "I'll sit wherever I want, is that any of your business?"
After getting out of the car, before closing the door, the woman left one last harsh remark: "You only have the fate of a peeper in this lifetime."
Chen Sheng covered his face and waved, "Fine, fine, fine! Go, just go..."
Bang~
Before Chen Sheng could finish his sentence, the car door had already been slammed shut.
"I..." Chen Sheng rubbed his face vigorously, wanting to rub away the frustration in his heart.
He turned the car's air conditioning to the maximum, aiming the vents at his chest; he had to use external force to cool down right now to suppress that restless heart.
Unfortunately, things went against his wishes.
"I... what a sin!"
Chen Sheng took out his cigarette pack, just about to use nicotine to numb himself, when he heard a knocking sound on the car window.
Knock, knock, knock~
Seeing it was the guy in the vest, Chen Sheng hurriedly rolled down the window.
"Hello!"
"Hello! You're not allowed to park here for too long, please move your car."
"Okay! I'll move it right away."
Chen Sheng threw the cigarette on the center console and started the vehicle, driving towards the Third Ring Road.
After driving to the Third Ring Road, Chen Sheng found a place where he could park, turned off the engine, and got out. He walked to the sidewalk, and with a "snap," amidst the rising smoke, the restlessness in his heart was smoothed out bit by bit.
They say time is the most effective way to heal wounds, or perhaps because he had already experienced it once, after one cigarette, he realized that he wasn't actually that angry anymore.
However...
"I'm going to post you online tonight too, damn it."
Must let the netizens take a good look at this 'great beauty' who isn't pretty but certainly thinks she is.
He stubbed out the cigarette and threw it into the extinguishing area in the middle of the trash can. Chen Sheng returned to the car, picked up his phone, and set a ride-sharing order on the ride-hailing app to head home.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, the app sent a notification that the ride-sharing was successful, with two passengers heading to the East Railway Station.
The East Railway Station and Jingjiang Donghu Garden Residential Area belonged to the same district, fulfilling the ride-sharing conditions.
Chen Sheng picked up the first passenger according to the navigation. Seeing that it was a male passenger, although it was the first time they met, he actually felt a sense of familiarity.
Can't help it! He was scared by the Female Passenger today.
There were still two more.
Chen Sheng chatted idly with the male passenger while following the navigation to the second passenger's standard pickup point.
Must say, having someone to chat with made him feel much better, and the smile on his face became much more relaxed and natural.
However, when the second Female Passenger got in the car, the smile on Chen Sheng's face gradually disappeared.
When he picked up the Female Passenger, just as the vehicle started moving, the Female Passenger said it was too hot, so Chen Sheng lowered the temperature a bit after asking for the male passenger's opinion.
As a result, less than a kilometer after the vehicle started driving, the Female Passenger sitting in the back row suddenly opened the car window.
"I say, beautiful lady, the air conditioning is on! Can you close the window, or I'll turn off the air conditioning."
Who knew the Female Passenger would retort: "Why should I close the window? Why should you turn off the air conditioning?"
When the Female Passenger said this, Chen Sheng's heart sank, "It's over, I've met another one."
"Beautiful lady! The air conditioning won't work if you don't close the window." Chen Sheng explained speechlessly.
As for whether the Female Passenger was willing to listen?
Love to listen or not, I'm tired, just destroy it!
The turn of events did not exceed Chen Sheng's expectations. After listening to Chen Sheng's explanation, the Female Passenger said righteously: "I get carsick if you close the car window."
Chen Sheng shrugged, "Fine! Then don't close it."
It's fine if the other three windows are closed.
Who knew that after the vehicle drove another seven or eight kilometers, the Female Passenger called for a stop: "Driver, please stop the car. I'm carsick, I want to sit in the front passenger seat."
Even though Chen Sheng had decided to just lie flat, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.
The hot wind from outside and the cold wind from inside the car converged right on her, and she, who claimed to be carsick, insisted on turning her head to the outside of the car to watch the passing traffic.
Normal people would get dizzy doing this, let alone her, who was already carsick.
However...
Doesn't matter.
As long as she doesn't vomit in the car, it's fine.
Chen Sheng pulled over. Before he could ask for the opinion of the male passenger on the side, this reasonable male passenger had already unbuckled his seatbelt and pushed the door open to get out.
"Thanks! Buddy!"
The male passenger nodded and gave him a look of 'good luck'.
After the Female Passenger sat in the front passenger seat and fastened her seatbelt, Chen Sheng restarted the car and continued driving towards the East Railway Station.
During the driving process, Chen Sheng silently increased the throttle a bit, just hoping to get people to their destination as quickly as possible; he needed to go back and take a good rest.
As a result, perhaps because the vehicle speed was too fast, there were slight bumps during the vehicle's travel. This was also something that couldn't be helped. As one of the important roads in Rongcheng, the Third Ring Road had many heavy trucks coming and going. Even though the road quality was good, day-after-day crushing caused some potholes to appear on the road surface.
And it was because of this slight bump that the Female Passenger indicated she had something to say: "Driver, how are you driving? It's too bumpy, I'm carsick."
"It's a road problem, I'll go slower." Chen Sheng silently reduced the speed a little.
Through the rearview mirror, he noticed that the male passenger sitting in the back row at this moment was pinching his thigh hard with his fingers, yet even this couldn't suppress his mouth that wanted to burst open.
Perfectly acted out what it means to want to laugh but not dare to.
