How Did I Become an F1 Driver?-Chapter 71 - 65: Spiderweb Cave
Chapter 71: Chapter 65: Spiderweb Cave
After refueling, Qin Miao was planning to visit some of the popular tourist spots in Shanghai with Qimeng, like Disneyland and the Oriental Pearl Tower.
After all, it was a rare opportunity to have a trip, and Qin Miao didn’t want to enjoy himself while Qimeng ended up running around without any fun.
However, when Qin Miao proposed this plan, Qimeng categorically refused. "I don’t want to go. I feel like going home now."
At first, Qin Miao thought Qimeng was upset because he had ignored her feelings, but unexpectedly, Qimeng seriously told Qin Miao, "I’m not joking, and I’m not upset. I just want to go home, that’s all."
Qin Miao thought about it and then nodded in agreement.
Although he didn’t understand why Qimeng was acting this way, Qin Miao had nothing urgent to do and could use the time after returning home to order some items online and assemble a simulator.
Now that Qin Miao had a car, it wasn’t likely he’d fly back like when they came to Shanghai; they’d drive back.
After deciding to head home, Qin Miao opened the navigation app to see how far they’d need to drive from Shanghai.
The distance shown was more than 1,200 kilometers, which wasn’t exactly close, but Qin Miao figured it wouldn’t be a problem if they took turns driving.
Since the entire route was on highways, despite the 1,200 kilometers, it would only take about 12 hours of driving. Including stops for refueling and rest, they could make it back in 15 hours as long as there were no traffic jams.
Once they set their goal, they refueled and returned to the hotel.
Given Qimeng’s strong desire to go home, Qin Miao complied with her wishes, especially since he had nothing urgent and plenty of free time.
Back at the hotel, Qimeng used their IDs to check out.
Qin Miao went upstairs to pack their things.
When Qin Miao finished packing their clothes and toiletries, there was a large travel suitcase in front of him.
Thanks to the Skill Card used on the Ferrari 488 Pista, Qin Miao knew his car inside out, even knowing the exact dimensions of the front trunk.
To put it bluntly, the 488’s front trunk could fit clothes and toiletries for both Qin Miao and Qimeng, but not with that suitcase because it was too long.
This judgment was based on Qin Miao’s understanding of his car, and although he hadn’t compared it with the car directly, he was confident in its accuracy.
However, the large suitcase wasn’t without benefits, as apart from not fitting in Qin Miao’s car, it had no other downsides.
The suitcase was of good quality and very durable.
The internal space was large enough to hold all the luggage they brought for the trip, including a racing suit and helmet Qin Miao bought in Shanghai, and his backpack.
But Qin Miao didn’t worry too long about the suitcase not fitting in his car’s front trunk; he quickly thought of using courier services.
Given the advanced state of the courier industry now, since the car couldn’t fit such a large suitcase, it was best to hand it over to a courier company to ship it back.
By handing it to the courier company, they could fit more snacks and food in the car and enjoy eating as they traveled, a win-win!
After making the decision, Qimeng also completed the check-out process and returned to the room with her bag, asking Qin Miao, "How’s it going, are we all packed?"
Qin Miao nodded, pointing to the suitcase he left at the door: "Everything’s ready, but this thing won’t fit in the car. Should we mail it back?"
After thinking a bit, Qimeng agreed that the suitcase not fitting in the car was indeed a hassle.
If it were up to Qimeng, she’d probably suggest the same solution: entrusting it to a courier company.
But soon after Qimeng nodded, Qin Miao suddenly suggested another way to save on courier fees.
Curious, Qimeng, with her vast life experience, wondered how Qin Miao came up with a second solution.
Qin Miao looked serious, "Look at the size of this suitcase; isn’t it just right for the passenger seat? It can be secured with a seatbelt and won’t obstruct my view in the right-side mirror."
Just as Qimeng was about to ask where she would sit, Qin Miao continued, "As for your spot, Mengmeng, I’ve thought it through. You have a great figure and if you curl up, you could fit in the front trunk with even some room to play on your phone and snack."
Qimeng frowned and started lashing out, punching toward Qin Miao, "Qin Miao!!! You traitor! Prepare to meet your doom!"
Qin Miao laughed as he backed away, easily catching Qimeng’s little fist with his hands, thanks to his reflexes far beyond the normal human.
Amidst their playful tussling, the two carried their luggage and left the hotel they had been staying in.
They found a Shaxian County restaurant nearby, where Qimeng ordered food and Qin Miao used his phone to place an order with SF Express.
Since it was a large item, Qin Miao didn’t trust other courier companies as much.
SF Express’s pickup service was quick; they hadn’t even finished eating when the SF Express courier came up to them.
After inspecting the suitcase items to make sure there were no prohibited items, weighing, and paying, it was all done in one smooth motion. Qin Miao glanced at the cost once the receipt was out.
187, outrageously expensive.
But at this moment, Qin Miao wasn’t lacking in money, so he paid without hesitation.
He and Qimeng slowly finished their lunch in Shaxian County, then holding hands, they strolled back to the hotel parking lot. Being able to leisurely waste time with someone you like, simply enjoying the feeling of having them by your side, is truly wonderful.
Not far from the hotel they stayed at is a convenience store. The two were planning to drive over a thousand kilometers today, so they needed to stock up on water and food in the car.
"I’ll go buy some snacks for the road, is there anything you want?"
Qin Miao: "Get some bread, and if there are any instant rice packs, grab a few as well. The food at highway service areas is really awful."
Qimeng nodded and said, "I’ll go get the stuff then, darling, bring the car around and wait for me."
Qin Miao nodded, and Qimeng smiled, tiptoeing to give Qin Miao a peck on the lips: "You’re so wonderful, a reward for you."
After the kiss, Qimeng walked away with her arms behind her.
Watching Qimeng’s departing figure, Qin Miao’s mouth curved into a slight smile.
Once he reached the hotel parking lot, he found his Ferrari, but at that moment, a few young girls were gathered around his car taking selfies.
Qin Miao slightly furrowed his brow, realizing that what seemed like a scene straight out of a novel was happening to him.
Then a scenario popped into Qin Miao’s head: he goes to drive the car, and those snapping photos mock him, saying "Don’t dirty the Ferrari, you poor loser," or something like that.
Then he’d pull out the car key, open the door in style, and drive away in the Ferrari amidst their regretful, shocked, and perplexed gazes.
Thinking this, Qin Miao snapped out of his unfounded daydream.
Looking again at the girls by his car, Qin Miao’s mouth twitched slightly.
"No way, they’re not really going to throw that cheesy plot at me, are they?"
Muttering to himself, Qin Miao steeled himself and walked toward his Ferrari.
Soon, Qin Miao stood in front of his Ferrari.
The girls noticed Qin Miao approaching and glanced at each other.
To be honest, this group’s attractiveness was quite high; all were long-legged, with classic almond-shaped faces and relatively neat features.
Seeing that it was a young man about their age, they didn’t mind, each continuing to queue up for photos.
Until as Qin Miao drew near, the headlights and taillights of the Ferrari 488 Pista lit up simultaneously, like a beast gradually waking after sensing its owner’s approach.
Instantly, the girls who initially ignored Qin Miao were enchanted, eagerly stepping in front of him.
"Hey handsome! Want to grab a meal together?"
"Hey cutie, what do you like? I’m all yours."
"Oni-chan~ Do you like anime? Name any character and I’m game."
The last and most shapely one was even more direct, removing her jacket and giving Qin Miao a clear view.
What was anticipated as a arrogant comeback scene turned into a group of pretty call girls.
If it had been a week earlier, Qin Miao might not have resisted such temptation.
But now Qimeng has captured Qin Miao’s heart completely, making him only feel awkward at the advances of these girls.
Due to his slight social anxiety, Qin Miao felt uncomfortable being surrounded by so many women.
So with a stiff expression, Qin Miao backed away a few steps.
Yet the girls persistently closed in, constantly voicing suggestive remarks.
For a moment, Qin Miao felt numb.
He could only keep retreating, saying, "Hang on, stop!"
But they ignored his words, pursuing him like zombies.
Even glaring intensely at the companions who were helping each other take pictures not long before, as if they were sworn enemies.
