Cycling Instruction

After a few complaints, they got back on their bikes and continued their journey.

Several dozen minutes later, they rode to another relatively well-known scenic spot: Wenbi Village.

It was said the village had a Rainbow Road, which was exceptionally beautiful.

There was also a "Sky Mirror" photo spot; taking pictures here could capture the feeling of the road ending at the sea.

Many of those stunning photos seen online of the lake meeting the sky were taken right here.

After riding continuously for forty or fifty minutes, everyone was a bit tired. They stopped their bikes by the roadside in Wenbi Village to rest.

At that moment, Meng Qianyu pointed at the electric scooter parked by the road and said to Su Yang, "Brother Su Yang, I want to learn how to ride~"

Hearing this, Su Yang looked around at the road conditions. The road they were currently on was relatively wide with little traffic, making it suitable for learning.

However, learning on such a main road wasn't entirely safe. He looked up towards a slanted side road ahead.

This side road was also quite straight, with fields level with the road on both sides. Even if the scooter lost control and veered into the fields, it would be better than plunging into the sea.

Just as Su Yang was about to reply to Meng Qianyu, Meng Wenzhou walked over and called out, "Lao Su, Qianyu, come on, there's a cafe over here. Let's go sit inside."

Meng Qianyu turned to Meng Wenzhou and said with a smile, "Brother, you guys go ahead first. I'm having Brother Su Yang teach me how to ride~"

"Ride?"

"Mhm~"

"Can't Brother Su Yang just give you a ride? You want to ride it yourself?"

"Everyone knows how, I want to learn too~"

Meng Wenzhou gave a faint smile: "Alright then, suit yourself. We'll go in first. What do you want to drink? We'll order for you."

Su Yang smiled: "Iced Americano~"

Meng Qianyu chimed in: "Same for me~"

"Okay. Be careful, you two."

"Got it~"

After saying that, Meng Wenzhou turned and walked into the roadside cafe.

The others quickly followed. As Pan Ning entered the shop, she looked at Su Yang and advised, "Be careful."

Su Yang nodded with a smile and gave an OK sign.

Then, Su Qingci looked over at Su Yang and Meng Qianyu. After a moment's thought, she walked up and asked, "Sister Qianyu, you want to learn how to ride?"

"Mhm, everyone can do it, I want to learn too~"

Su Qingci thought for a moment and added, "Can I learn too?"

"You want to as well? Then let's do it together. Brother Su Yang teaching one person or two is the same anyway~"

Su Yang tilted his head and glanced at Meng Qianyu: "You're good at making arrangements."

"Hehe~"

"Fine then, one at a time. Let's go learn on that small road up ahead." Su Yang said, getting on the scooter and pointing towards the side road.

The two looked over and smiled: "Okay."

"Let's go."

Soon, the three arrived on the side road. It was about two meters twenty or thirty centimeters wide, an unpaved cement road. A sign was erected at the entrance.

It read: Cars are prohibited from entering this section. This made it perfect for learning—no disturbance from cars, very safe.

Su Yang parked the scooter by the roadside. Meng Qianyu walked over cheerfully, swung her leg over, and sat down.

Su Yang stood beside her, steadying the scooter. "Wait a moment, let me explain how to operate it first."

"Xiao Su, you come over too."

"Okay." Su Qingci quickly came to the side of the scooter and watched attentively.

Su Yang reached out and grabbed the right handlebar. "When you're ready later, gently twist this handle. Remember, it must be a gentle twist. Don't twist it hard, or it'll easily shoot forward."

Meng Qianyu blinked and nodded: "Oh, okay, got it."

"And this lever here in front of the handlebar, squeeze it with your hand to brake. Braking is also done gently, only squeeze hard in an emergency."

"The left handlebar can also brake."

"Try getting a feel for it first." Su Yang finished and let go.

Meng Qianyu reached out, grabbed the right handlebar, and gently twisted it towards herself to test it.

She twisted a few times, but the scooter didn't move. Puzzled, she looked up at Su Yang: "Huh? Brother Su Yang, why isn't it moving? I twisted it all the way~"

Su Yang's eyelids twitched, and he said helplessly, "I haven't even put the key in yet. How could it move?"

"Oh, right, hehe, silly me~"

"I wanted you to get a feel for it first."

"Okay, then I'll try again." Meng Qianyu tried a few more times and then smiled: "Alright, Brother Su Yang."

"Good." Su Yang agreed, took the key from his pocket, inserted it into the scooter's ignition, and turned it halfway.

The scooter beeped.

A small screen in the middle displayed the number 0.

"This number in the middle, like a car, is the speedometer."

"Okay."

"Alright, then try it yourself. Remember, you must twist the handle gently. Keep your feet on the ground, and slowly feel the scooter's speed as you accelerate."

"Okay~" Meng Qianyu swallowed, gripped both handlebars with her hands, and planted her feet on the ground.

Su Yang pulled Su Qingci aside. "Ready, go ahead."

Meng Qianyu sat on the scooter, motionless.

A few seconds later, she said: "Okay, Brother Su Yang, I suddenly feel a bit scared to ride again~" Meng Qianyu looked stiff all over, her body trembling slightly.

Su Yang walked up, a bit concerned. "Don't be afraid. This road is long. As long as you don't go too fast, I can catch up. Just remember one thing: twist gently. If it gets too fast, squeeze the brake."

"Okay... here I go."

Meng Qianyu stared at the speedometer and gently twisted the right handlebar with her hand.

As soon as she twisted it, the scooter began to move slowly.

Just as Su Yang was about to praise her, suddenly, for some reason, Meng Qianyu grew increasingly nervous, and her right hand uncontrollably twisted the handlebar harder.

The scooter's speed began to gradually increase.

"Ah ah, Brother Su Yang! This thing is so fast!" Meng Qianyu said, while her feet pushed hard against the ground.

Su Yang quickly followed, shouting: "Don't panic, squeeze the brake a bit."

Meng Qianyu wanted to reach out her fingers to squeeze the brake, but she felt that doing so would mean letting go of the handlebar. In her panic, she twisted the handlebar hard again.

This time, she twisted it with a larger motion, and the scooter shot forward abruptly.

"Ah ah ah!!" Meng Qianyu leaned back with a cry, instantly losing control of the vehicle.

The scooter began to wobble erratically as it sped forward.

Seeing this, Su Yang hurriedly quickened his pace to catch up.

While chasing, he shouted: "Qianyu!! Squeeze the brake!!"

"I... I can't reach it!!"

"Damn it!!" Su Yang mustered all his strength and sprinted after the nearly out-of-control scooter.

Vroom vroom vroom!!!

Just then, the roar of car engines suddenly sounded behind Su Yang.

He turned to look and saw two sports cars speeding into the intersection from behind. They were the two 718 convertible sports cars they had encountered earlier at Luwo Mountain.

"What the hell?!" Su Yang had no time to think and quickly chased after Meng Qianyu.

"Qianyu!! Squeeze the brake!"

By now, Meng Qianyu had ridden the scooter to the middle of the road and was heading towards the fields on the other side.

"Ah ah!! I can't control it!"

Vroom vroom!!

Beep beep beep!!!

Two sports cars from behind were rapidly closing in on Su Yang, showing no signs of slowing down and blaring their horns incessantly.

Su Yang had no time to worry about the vehicles behind him. He quickened his pace, caught up with Meng Qianyu, grabbed the rear rack of the scooter, and pulled hard to hold it back.

"Qianyu, squeeze the brakes! Come on!!"

Meng Qianyu was already flustered, and hearing the car horns behind her only made her more frantic. She fumbled, unsure which lever to pull, having completely forgotten all the instructions Su Yang had just given her.

Beep beep beep!!

"Get out of the way!!!"

"You're fucking asking for it!!"

The vehicles behind still didn't slow down. A guy in one of the cars was yelling curses while relentlessly honking the horn.

Su Yang, holding the rear rack, moved forward and swiftly grabbed the scooter's handlebar, squeezing the brake lever.

Screech!!

The electric scooter skidded to a sudden stop just before it would have plunged into the roadside field.

The two cars behind also slammed on their brakes, stopping just in time. Any later and they would have inevitably crashed into Su Yang and Meng Qianyu.

Su Yang first kicked down the scooter's side stand to prop it up, then helped the nearly tearful Meng Qianyu off the scooter. "Are you okay?"

"Wah... Brother Su Yang, I'm sorry, I'm so stupid..."

"It's okay. You've never ridden one before; it's totally normal for a first lesson."

"Damn it, you little bastard! You looking to die or what?!"

By now, two young men had quickly stepped out of the cars behind Su Yang. One had dyed blond hair, the other had gray hair.

However, Su Yang acted as if he hadn't heard them and continued speaking to Meng Qianyu. "It's fine, Qianyu, don't overthink it. Just wait for me a moment. I'll go deal with those two punks behind us."

With that, he turned and strode briskly toward the two young men.
