Chapter 33: [33] I don’t have any other strengths, but I love to learn_1

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Reckless driving? Must’ve been my brother taking the car out behind my back, the little brat. Just wait till I get home and settle the score with him.”

Xu Xinling grumbled irritably.

“It’s not only the tire, your engine has an issue too. Hand me the keys.”

Tang Feng asked Xu Xinling for the car keys and then climbed into the Porsche and started it up.

The engine immediately roared into life with a ‘vroom’.

He then turned his head towards the two and asked, “Hear that?”

Song Lele and Xu Xinling listened intently, but couldn’t discern anything out of the ordinary.

“No, isn’t that just how the engine sounds?” Xu Xinling looked at him with a puzzled face.

But Tang Feng shook his head, “That’s not right. Your engine is making an unusual noise, and there’s a slight tremor in the sound of the car. Also, there’s a bit of hesitation when you press the gas pedal…”

Song Lele and Xu Xinling leaned in again to listen, still unable to detect any abnormal sounds.

At this point, Tang Feng turned off the engine, got out of the car, and threw the keys back to Xu Xinling, “Anyway, I’ve told you. Believe it or not, it’s up to you.”

Xu Xinling looked at him, half-convinced.

Although she hadn’t studied cars in depth, she had driven plenty of sports cars and considered herself an experienced driver.

Just now, when she drove this car over, she hadn’t noticed any of the issues that Tang Feng mentioned.

However, with the recent example of the tire, she didn’t dare ignore his words and immediately called the 4S shop.

Actually, at this hour, the 4S shop had already closed.

But surprisingly, they agreed to send a specialist over to take care of the situation.

They didn’t have to wait long; soon enough, a maintenance specialist from the 4S shop arrived.

First, he opened the hood to check the engine, then started up the car and listened carefully.

After some fuss, he approached Xu Xinling, sweating profusely, “Miss Xu, there is indeed a problem with your car’s engine, and it needs to be towed back for repairs.”

Xu Xinling was shocked, her eyes wide open, “The engine actually has a problem? How did I not notice?”

The maintenance specialist looked at Tang Feng with admiration, “Your friend here is quite amazing. The abnormal sound in the engine is really subtle—without prior warning, even I might not have been able to detect it.”

Xu Xinling stared at Tang Feng in astonishment.

Even the professional from the 4S maintenance couldn’t necessarily detect it, yet this guy did right away?

Doesn’t that mean he is more professional than the professionals?

The maintenance specialist looked at Tang Feng with respect once more before driving the car away.

“Big Boss, how do you know so much?” Song Lele looked at Tang Feng, curiosity written all over her face.

“I don’t really have any other strengths, just a love for learning,” Tang Feng said nonchalantly, waving his hand.

Song Lele and Xu Xinling immediately exchanged glances, both thinking he was a bit of a show-off.

But he did have the chops to back it up.

“I’ll call you Big Boss too. Big Boss, thank you so much for today. After we’re done with the blind box, dinner is on me.”

Xu Xinling expressed her gratitude to Tang Feng, still shaken from the fear.

If it hadn’t been for Tang Feng spotting the issues in time, she might’ve been in serious danger.

Not to mention anything else, if the tire had burst while she was driving, she could’ve panicked and, who knows, maybe even risked her life.

“Well, Big Boss, have you captured our Xinling’s heart already? She’s never invited a man to dinner before,” Song Lele immediately joked with a slap on Tang Feng’s shoulder.

“No way? Aren’t you a man? She’s never invited you either?” Tang Feng instantly took her words and threw his arm around her neck playfully.

Song Lele was taken aback and quickly moved his arm away, stepping back, “Why do you always have to be so touchy-feely? Can’t you just talk properly?”

Tang Feng looked at her displeased, “Ale, we are good brothers, aren’t we? Isn’t it perfectly normal to hug and embrace? Are you not considering me a brother?”

With that, he hugged her again.

Song Lele was speechless. He had put it in such a way that if she were to make a fuss, it would seem like she was admitting something.

She had to swallow the bitter pill in silence.

Xu Xinling couldn’t help but covertly giggle at the scene.

It served him right for always playing the woman-dresses-as-man act. Now he couldn’t complain about getting taken advantage of.

“Ahem, it looks like the event is about to start. Let’s hurry over,” Song Lele noticed that staff members were taking the stage at the plaza and quickly used it as an excuse to escape Tang Feng’s embrace.

Tang Feng didn’t continue to tease her and immediately followed the two of them toward the square.

“By the way, Ale, you don’t have your bodyguards with you today?” Tang Feng suddenly remembered the two bodyguards who came to pick up Song Lele the previous day and couldn’t help but ask.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Now that he had mastered martial arts, he was actually eager to spar with that kind of expert, to see what level he was at.

Song Lele’s face changed slightly when he brought up the subject of bodyguards, but she still smiled and shook her head, “No.”

“Your family must be really rich to afford bodyguards. What do your parents do?” Tang Feng casually asked.

“Our family? We deal in arms,” Song Lele said with a teasing smile.

“Really?” Tang Feng was instantly surprised.

“Pfft…” Song Lele burst into laughter at his reaction, then playfully punched his shoulder, “You believe that? Dealing arms in the country, are you kidding me? You think I want to live too long?”

Tang Feng could tell she didn’t want to discuss her family background.

Although he didn’t know why, he didn’t press the issue.

By now, the square was bustling with at least several hundred people; occasionally, girls could be heard screaming and cheering below.

Tang Feng couldn’t understand it—was just a toy worth such frenzy?

Was he already out of touch before getting old?

“Big Boss, whether we can get the hidden version today is all up to you,” Xu Xinling said, cheering along with everyone else, then turned back to Tang Feng with a laugh.

“Don’t count on me; I really can’t handle that responsibility. All that luck embodied stuff is nonsense. You believe in that?” Tang Feng immediately warned her.

Xu Xinling covered her mouth and laughed.

The truth was, she invited Tang Feng out today simply because she wanted to see what the guy her best friend couldn’t stop talking about looked like.

As for latching on to his luck, that was just a joke.

She wasn’t foolish to that extent.
