A foreign city, dear you

A few days later in the afternoon.

Ye Lian suddenly received a call from Cao Xueqin.

"Lian," Cao Xueqin said anxiously on the phone, "I'm stuck here and can't move, but I'm in a hurry for something. I want to take the subway. Come over and drive the car home."

Ye Lian asked him where he was stuck.

Cao Xueqin said that the traffic jam was in the direction of Linbao Road heading towards Anbao Park. You can see it a little further after passing the traffic light outside Jiayuyuan.

Ye Lian then said hesitantly: "Okay, I'll drive it."

The reason for her hesitation was that driving was not something Ye Lian was comfortable with. But Cao Xueqin had something to do, so she had to do it even if she couldn't.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Lian went out of the door and drove the car.

The place where Cao Xueqin parked his car was not far away, and he saw the car after a while.

Cao Xueqin was no longer there, and there was only an empty car waiting.

Ye Lian got in the car.

Adjust the seat first. Since I am short, I have to move the seat forward every time.

Send a seat belt as a safety guarantee.

Adjust the rearview mirror, which is the driver's external eyes.

……

Anyway, whether you are an experienced driver or not can only be proved by these skilled preparations before driving.

The traffic on this road was really heavy.

Ye Lian was not afraid of traffic jams. She was not in a hurry anyway, so she just followed other cars and moved forward slowly.

Finally, we slowly moved to Jiayuyuan.

Ye Lian began to worry about parking.

After passing the parking gate of Jiayuyuan, Ye Lian began to look for a parking space.

It is actually better during the day than at night. Parking spaces are not so tight and there are always a few empty parking spaces.

Ye Lian saw several parking spaces ahead.

Now that I have a parking space, the question now is how to park the car. For an old rookie, every parking is a test.

Ye Lian remembered that Cao Xueqin had specifically told her before hanging up the phone that she could use the automatic parking function, so she wouldn't be afraid of parking.

Okay, let's use the magical automatic parking function that I saw that day.

There are always some smart people in this world who try their best to solve the problems of fools. Ye Lian is very grateful to those smart people.

Ye Lian recalled what Cao Xueqin did that day and imitated him by pressing the automatic parking button.

Sure enough, the words "Searching for parking space on the right" appeared on the central control display screen.

Then she continued to drive slowly forward.

Passing an empty parking space on the right, the display screen shows "Parking space found on the right side of the vehicle, proceed forward and prepare to park."

But at the same time, Ye Lian discovered that there were two empty parking spaces connected front and back a little ahead.

For Ye Lian, the two empty parking spaces were connected together, so she could park there relatively easily. She just drove in diagonally and made some minor adjustments.

Although it may not be parked very straight and neatly, at least it can be parked there.

In the past, Ye Lian would have chosen one of the two empty parking spaces without hesitation.

But today, I am a little hesitant.

She wanted to try out the automatic parking feature.

She thought, if this automatic parking function is really that useful, then what should I be afraid of when I drive out in the future? It can park automatically wherever I want, how cool and convenient it is.

After hesitating for a while, Ye Lian decided to use the automatic parking function.

The car continued to move forward slowly until it was level with the front of the car in front of the empty parking space on the right.

At this time, the display screen shows "Put the R gear, take your hands off the steering wheel, control the brake and accelerator, and start automatic parking."

This is when automatic parking starts.

Ye Lian suddenly started to get nervous again, and thought in a daze: How can this steering wheel be out of human control?

But Ye Lian still let go of her hands nervously. She felt very uncomfortable with her hands loosened and didn't know how to put them. She was like a timid Japanese soldier pretending to surrender.

Suddenly, the steering wheel started to turn automatically, as if a ghost hand was turning it hard, and gusts of cold wind seemed to swirl out.

Ye Lian was suddenly startled and felt it was very strange. She instinctively reached out to grab the steering wheel.

Done!

With just one human intervention, the display screen showed "Automatic parking terminated."

This automatic parking function has a bad temper and even went on strike.

Ye Lian was nervous and frustrated. It is said that stupid people are bullied by others, but she was so stupid that she was bullied by a car.

What to do now?

If you can't rely on technology, then you have to rely on yourself. Just keep stopping. I don't believe that you can't stop.

The rear end of the car had already moved in part way at an angle. Ye Lian continued to turn the steering wheel to the right, then to the left. As she turned the steering wheel, Ye Lian's head became a mess again.

Someone was honking the horn behind me.

Ye Lian knew that it was because of her influence that others passed.

Ye Lian turned the steering wheel here and there without any order to begin with. In a hurry, she stepped on the accelerator and the car stopped with a whoosh. However, Ye Lian felt that the right rear wheel hit something.

Ye Lian was startled again.

Parking the car is so embarrassing and frightening.

It was a hot summer day and although the air conditioner was on in the car, Ye Lian was still hot and sweating all over due to the hustle and bustle. The fright made her sweat even more.

After the car behind honked passed by, Ye Lian hurriedly got out to see what was going on.

She was so afraid of hitting the car behind her.

But no, the rear wheel was stuck on the right curb.

Ye Lian thought, forget it, just leave it at that, let’s wait for Qian to come back.

At this time, someone came and drove away the car in front of the Kuga, leaving a parking space in front of the Kuga.

At this moment, Ye Lian changed her mind again. She felt that she had some room to maneuver, so she wanted to move the car to free the right rear wheel from the curb.

Ye Lian tried carefully several times but failed each time. She could only feel the hissing sound of the wheels rubbing against the curb.

Ye Lian was discouraged, but she didn't dare to do anything rash for fear of damaging the wheel. But she was also worried that even if she waited for Cao Xueqin to come back, the wheel would be damaged after a while. She felt that she had to separate the wheel from the curb.

Ye Lian had no choice but to ask for help from her dear and almighty husband.

Ye Lian called Cao Xueqin and told him about her parking experience in a wronged manner, saying how the automatic parking system failed and how she parked the car herself and it was not parked properly, with the wheel stuck on the curb.

Cao Xueqin comforted Ye Lian and said that everything was okay, and asked Ye Lian to take a few photos of the right rear wheel for him.

Ye Lian took several photos from different angles as instructed and sent them to Cao Xueqin.

Cao Xueqin saw it and replied, "It's okay. I'll teach you how to steer the wheel. Just follow my instructions."

Next, Cao Xueqin used the remote control to instruct Ye Lian to steer the car, and the wheel actually loosened.

Ye Lian took another photo and sent it to Cao Xueqian, who replied, "My wife is awesome!"

Ye Lian smiled.

She knows whether it is real or fake.

But why do Cao Xueqin’s words sound so comfortable?

Ye Lian replied: "You said it was great, but it was so stupid. It was a joke to use the automatic parking system. It even hit the curb when parking the car."

Cao Xueqian said: "That's not your problem, it's the problem of the automatic parking system. Who scared you? There is a reason for rubbing the curb, right? You were scared, so you must be confused, right? And it's also possible that the parking space is not good, right? If it were me, I would also be in a panic. I might even hit the car behind..."

Cao Xueqian kept comforting her...

Ye Lian's panicked heart seemed to be caressed by a soft and fine velvet cloth, becoming smooth, comfortable and warm.

A few traces of sweetness, a few traces of relief, and a few traces of joy surged from the bottom of her heart, turning into a brilliant smile, hanging at the corners of her mouth.

Ye Lian turned off the engine and got out of the car, feeling that she had finally completed a big task.

Thinking back to the entire parking process, Ye Lian felt both embarrassed and funny.

Thinking of Cao Xueqin's comfort, Ye Lian felt so sweet and happy again.

She was so modest that she always found excuses for her stupidity, and was considerate enough to put herself down to ease her embarrassment, frustration and self-blame.
