Chapter 59: Pop Up and Get Instantly Eliminated! Rearview Mirror: Are You Being Polite Right Now?

"Take a look behind to see if anyone is there..."

For a standard reverse parking maneuver, Xia Qianyi locked the steering wheel, slowly lifted the clutch, and brought the car to the designated position. Just before she started backing up, Gu Yin took a sip of his jasmine tea and reminded her:

"Be careful not to run over your dog."

"A dog should be judged by its owner. Can't you spare me and stop picking on her like that?" Mengmeng cared too much about her, so Xia Qianyi naturally had to put in a good word for her.

"Ha," Gu Yin chuckled cheerfully and said, "You called her a dog yourself, so you can't blame that on me, right?"

Xia Qianyi: "..."

She couldn't be bothered to argue with Gu Yin today; she was here to focus on practicing her driving.

The winter sun was exceptionally warm and bright. Even though the car windows were covered with anti-glare film, the light streaming in through the front windshield alone was enough to illuminate Xia Qianyi's breathtakingly beautiful and delicate face with striking brilliance.

Such a goddess looked quite aloof and intelligent.

However, her subsequent actions...

left Gu Yin frozen in place.

"Whirrr..."

The girl's fair, slender fingers rested on the window control button. Accompanied by a whirring sound, the driver's side window actually began to slowly roll down.

Gu Yin: "???"

Gu Yin, who was drinking tea at the moment, realized that something was slightly amiss. The jasmine tea in his cup instantly lost its aroma as he stared blankly at Xia Qianyi...

To his astonishment, once the car window rolled down, Xia Qianyi actually turned her body sideways, poked her fluffy, short-haired little head out, and took a glance backward.

After pulling her head back inside, she said to Gu Yin with utmost confidence, "I checked. There's no one behind us."

"..."

The atmosphere inside the car became somewhat stagnant. Gu Yin stared blankly at Xia Qianyi, speechless for a long time.

The rising steam from the thermos and the lingering fragrance of jasmine tea proved that the system wasn't lagging—Gu Yin was just stunned.

[Pfft...]

In the live broadcast room of the reality show "Reconciliation with Life," the online audience instantly burst into laughter!

[No wait, is Xia Qianyi's train of thought completely different from ordinary people?]

[He told her to look back, so she rolled down the window and looked out? What the heck, hahaha...]

[I'm dying of laughter, she really brings the comedy!]

[Rearview mirrors: Do we mean nothing to you?]

...

What did Gu Yin just say?

Gu Yin had just said: "Take a look behind to see if anyone is there."

Judging purely by the literal meaning, this instruction did indeed tell you to look back and see if there was anyone behind you...

But this is a car, for crying out loud!

When you're in a car and your instructor tells you that, you roll down the window to look back? When you're driving on the road and about to change lanes or turn, do you roll down the window and look back then too?!

Anyone who knows you would realize you're driving a four-wheeled motor vehicle, but anyone who doesn't might honestly think you're piloting a three-wheeled tricycle!

"W-What's wrong?" Xia Qianyi clearly hadn't realized what she had done wrong yet, but she clearly knew she *had* done something wrong, which made her feel very guilty!

"..." Gu Yin remained silent for a moment, finally squeezing out a sentence with great difficulty: "I told you to look behind to see if anyone was there, and that's how you look?"

"W-Well, how else?" Xia Qianyi raised a fair hand and cutely scratched her dark, glossy hair.

"..." Gu Yin just stared at her without saying a word. Today, he was determined to see if Xia Qianyi had any idea how to check behind her without him spelling it out.

"Why... why are you staring at me like that..." Finding herself stared at so intently that she felt a prickle of guilt and a creeping sense of unease, Xia Qianyi blushed and lowered her head...

Knowing she must have done something wrong, the girl began to ponder what exactly went wrong just now?

After thinking for a long time...

Under the simultaneous gaze of Gu Yin and the hundreds of thousands of online viewers watching the live broadcast, the girl gave Gu Yin a pitiful look. Hesitating for a moment, she actually unbuckled her seatbelt with a crisp *click*, and then...

pushed the car door open.

And stepped out of the car.

Standing outside the vehicle, she looked back earnestly in the direction of the rear bumper.

Gu Yin: "(╬￣皿￣)"

[Ahahahahaha... Heh-heh-heh...]

The live broadcast room instantly transformed into a mass viewing of the poem "Goose, Goose, Goose," with endless peals of laughter and a comment section on the verge of collapsing from hilarity!

[Oh Goddess, you're going to kill me with laughter! Please remember to inherit my debts!]

[Her train of thought is truly out of this world!]

[If I were Instructor Gu, seeing a student like this would literally drive me to an early grave, hahaha...]

[Gu Yin: You're dead! You're so dead to me!]

...

"Hey, hold on!"

Before Xia Qianyi could even get back into the car, Gu Yin called out from inside:

"Let me discuss something with you!"

"What is it?" The girl outside leaned over to peer inside.

"How about you drop out!" Gu Yin shouted through gritted teeth, "I honestly can't teach you!"

His voice was a bit too loud. There were other students practicing outside in the training ground, and quite a few of them heard it, making Xia Qianyi feel thoroughly humiliated. The jaw muscles beneath her fair, delicate face twitched slightly. She pulled open the car door, sat back inside, and hissed in a low, furious whisper through clenched teeth: "Couldn't you keep your voice down? Don't I have any dignity?"

"You still care about dignity?" Without a shred of politeness, Gu Yin raised his hand and tapped Xia Qianyi on the head a few times as if knocking on a wooden fish, saying, "You should go get your brain checked at a hospital first!"

"You..." Xia Qianyi said in exasperation, "Couldn't you just point out where I went wrong instead of yelling? Is that any way to be an instructor?"

"The rearview mirrors!"

Too lazy to waste any more breath arguing with her, Gu Yin pointed directly at the passenger-side and driver-side rearview mirrors, spitting as he shouted:

"Sister! My dear sister!"

"I told you to check the rearview mirrors to see if anyone was there, and you went and poked your head out and even got out of the car. Don't you think you're being a bit disrespectful to the rearview mirrors?!"

"If you can poke your head out or get out of the car while practicing here, will you also poke your head out to check when you're driving on the highway, or stop the car and turn around to look?!"

"Do you even know that surveillance cameras will spot you popping your head out and instantly penalize you?!"

Gu Yin was genuinely driven mad...

It had only been a week!

Even though he had anticipated that with Xia Qianyi's brainpower, she would likely have forgotten almost everything she learned last week...

He never, in his wildest dreams, expected!

This woman!

Could be so wonderfully absurd to this extent!

Gu Yin couldn't help but wonder if this girl even possessed a brain, or if she was missing her brainstem entirely!

Otherwise, how could she possibly be this foolish?!

"I..."

On camera, a look of blank astonishment flickered across the girl's fair, delicate face, and the very next moment, it visibly began to turn red!

Crimson red!

The once indignant female celebrity slowly lowered her proud head, pressing her hands tightly together between her thighs, feeling so painfully awkward she could probably excavate a three-bedroom apartment with her toes!

She covered her face, adopting an expression of having "no face left to meet people"...

And the truth was, she truly had no face left to meet anyone!
