53: Chapter 53 You're still here!

Lin Xiao quickly finished the paperwork and successfully obtained the car keys.

The shop assistant kindly helped him drive the car out of the parking lot and parked it by the side of the road.

Everything seemed to be going very smoothly.

But when Lin Xiao opened the door and sat in the car, he realized the gravity of the situation.

He had a driver's license; whether before crossing over or in this world, he had one.

But likewise, whether before crossing over or in this world, he hadn't really driven much.

Let alone such a luxury car!

After he started the car, he felt a bit at a loss.

It probably wouldn't be a problem to force himself to drive away, but he wasn't willing to take the risk and become a road hazard.

How about... calling a designated driver?

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao immediately got out of the car and took out his phone to find a designated driver app.

Just then, he suddenly heard the sound of sudden braking not far away, followed immediately by the sound of a collision.

This area was remote, and there weren't many people on the road.

Lin Xiao took one look and discovered that it was actually a very cute little pink car that had overturned into the ditch on the side.

Passing cars nearby just slowed down to take a look, then drove away.

Lin Xiao hurriedly ran over and tried to open the car door.

He saw a young girl sticking her head out, looking very disheveled.

"Ca-can you pull me up..."

The girl's face was pale; she looked like she had been frightened.

Lin Xiao reached out and with some difficulty pulled the girl out of the car.

However, the hem of the girl's dress was torn, revealing a pair of fair legs.

"Ah, why am I so unlucky!"

The girl grabbed her hair, looking completely devastated. "My Little Pink just had its car wrap applied, and it's already totaled before I've even driven it for an hour!"

Lin Xiao leaned over to take a look at the car.

It was a Mercedes Smart; the car was relatively light to begin with.

It must have been that during a sharp turn, one wheel got stuck in the ditch first, and then the whole car flipped over.

However, this ditch wasn't very deep, so it probably wasn't a major issue.

Looking at the girl's devastated appearance, he reminded her, "I think it might still be salvageable..."

"Really?!"

The girl raised her head, a glimmer of hope rising in her sparkling eyes.

"Yeah, but you might need to find someone to get the car out first."

Lin Xiao could push this car by himself.

But to avoid secondary damage, it was better to let professionals handle professional matters.

The girl nodded and immediately dialed a number.

Hearing the reply on the other end, she frowned slightly and said in a somewhat impatient tone, "Fine, fine, then I'll send you the location; you come over and handle it in a while."

After saying that, she hung up the phone.

"Everything just has to go wrong when I'm in a rush!"

She muttered to herself.

Sighing lightly, she carefully lifted her skirt, stepped into the shallow ditch, and took a large bag out of the trunk.

"It's over, the evening gown is dirty too!"

The girl was devastated once again.

Lin Xiao looked at the girl in front of him who alternated between being devastated and normal. Although she was already quite pitiful, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

But just as a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, the girl suddenly turned her head.

"Benefactor! Can I beg you to help me one more time!"

"Hm?"

Lin Xiao quickly restrained his smile.

"It's really hard to get a car here; could you please take me to the downtown area... Please!"

The girl clasped her hands together, looking very sincere.

Lin Xiao glanced at the car he had just picked up.

He had originally planned to call a designated driver. Logically, since there was someone with him now, it would be best if she could help him drive.

But the girl had just driven her own car into a ditch; she really didn't seem very reliable...

However, it was indeed as she said; this place was too remote, and it was hard to find taxis or designated drivers.

After thinking for a moment, he warned, "I'm a beginner; do you dare to ride in my car?"

"I dare! I have an extremely urgent matter today; I'm trusting my life to you!"

The girl looked as if she were prepared to sacrifice herself for a noble cause.

Being trusted like this, Lin Xiao didn't decline any further.

He drove the car with the girl and headed towards the city.

However...

After the twentieth bicycle overtook them, the girl couldn't hold it together anymore.

"Big brother, how about... how about we just stop driving."

This speed was barely faster than walking.

"How about you drive?"

Lin Xiao was also a bit embarrassed.

The girl nodded. "Okay, then let me do it! Don't worry, I'll be careful!"

After saying that, the two switched seats.

It had to be said that although the girl had driven her own car into a ditch, she drove Lin Xiao's car both fast and steadily.

Just like that, they drove all the way to the parking lot of a luxury mall.

"Alright, I'll get off here. Thank you so much!"

After the girl solemnly thanked Lin Xiao again, she hurriedly ran off.

Lin Xiao sat back in the driver's seat.

Soon, he discovered a more serious problem.

This parking lot seemed even harder to drive in than the road outside...

He suddenly felt some regret. Why did he have to buy such a big car!

If he had known, he would have bought a Smart to weave around freely!

Don't know how long it had been, but he finally drove out of the parking lot.

Arriving at the side of the road, he decided he absolutely had to call a designated driver!

But just as he took out his phone, a familiar voice came from behind him.

"Huh? Why haven't you left yet?"

"..."

Lin Xiao looked back and saw that the girl had already changed into a new evening gown, with a trench coat draped over it, and was walking out of the mall.

The girl saw Lin Xiao standing next to the car fiddling with his phone and immediately realized something.

"Uh, you wouldn't happen to have just driven out of the parking lot, would you?"
