Pandora's Box

Seeing that the balance of the summer vacation is insufficient, the good days of sleeping until waking up naturally are coming to an end.Lu Feng and Ke Luo were going to the dinner that day, and they had said in advance that they would not go home for dinner, but Cheng Yichen and Zhuo Wenyang came back earlier than usual.

I woke up from a lazy and long nap, and found that both of them were already at home, and they were waiting for me mysteriously with the same style on their faces.

"What's wrong?"

Cheng Yichen smiled slightly and said to me: "School will start soon, I bought you a gift."

I rubbed my eyes sleepily, and said casually, "What gift? Are you going to give me a car when school starts?"

Cheng Yichen smiled and said, "It's really a car, but it's not the kind of car you think."

He brought me a brand new bicycle from the room.

I:"……"

This is a road bike with flat handlebars and a streamlined body. It looks quite light, and the gray and black color scheme is also cool.But as far as I'm concerned, it's only different from shared bicycles in color.

Cheng Yichen asked: "Do you still like the appearance? I asked Wen Yang to help choose. Young people should understand young people's preferences better."

I had no choice but to say perfunctorily, "It's pretty, but I don't know how to ride this."

Cheng Yichen was in high spirits: "I know, Wen Yang told me that you can't ride a bicycle, so I want to teach you now. Let's go downstairs and go to a nearby park for a try."

"..."

I immediately gave Zhuo Wenyang a "help me" wink.Zhuo Wenyang smiled and said, "Let's practice, it's very simple."

Ah, he really was on his father's side!

The two took me and the car out the door, one on the left and the other on the right, as if I had been kidnapped.

We met a neighbor downstairs, and he greeted us: "The weather is so nice, why don't you go for a ride?"

I blinked at him desperately, but he walked away indifferently.Damn it, can't he see that this is a rush to put ducks on the shelves!

The venue in the park is still quite empty, and there are few people. Only a few children are sliding and playing in the sand pool in the children's play area.

I smiled at them friendly.

After all, after a while they will be the main audience watching me make a fool of myself.

Zhuo Wenyang said: "The height of the seat has been adjusted for you. You can just sit on it first. Anyway, your feet can touch the ground now, so you are not afraid of falling."

Cheng Yichen also said: "I found this place for you, it is slightly sloped, don't rush to ride, put your feet on the ground together, take advantage of the slope, and practice gliding first, this is to help you get familiar with the handlebars to control the sense of balance."

"..."

"You are so big, I won't help you with the back seat. To avoid pulling and causing resistance to you. Mastering the balance and starting by yourself is the first step."

My feet kicked on the ground together like a dog planer, feeling that the fashionable and chic image I had painstakingly cultivated had completely collapsed.

Doesn't this look too funny!

"Take your time, lower your center of gravity, and you will find the feeling."

My feeling is that I'm screwed!

Taking advantage of the downhill slope, I planed hard for a while, but I was able to slide. It seemed that I was not so swaying. It seems that my sense of balance is still good. Isn't it a little genius?

Cheng Yichen also expressed his satisfaction, so we changed the venue.

I stepped up again, stepped on the car, took a deep breath, and calmed down my nervous mood.

"To ride the bike, all you need is an initial speed," Cheng Yichen explained, "This initial speed doesn't need to be very fast at all, it's easy to achieve."

"Oh."

"So you must use force with your first foot. If you use force, you will gain speed. Don't rush to keep up with the other foot, and kick the ground back in coordination with it. This is also to help and provide speed. Don't worry, you can wait until you can Glide steadily for a few seconds without falling down, and then start putting the other foot on the pedals as well."

When I was skating, I felt that maintaining balance seemed to be nothing more than that, but when I really started to ride, I panicked when I stepped down.Hey, hey, what's going on? Why did it fall down?Is this really rideable?Are two wheels really stable?Could it be that you lied to me?

Fortunately, I have grown up and my feet can touch the ground. If I was a child, how many times would I fall and eat shit, I must be full.

Cheng Yichen said: "If you feel that the car is not stable, don't rush to step on the ground. You can continue to pedal the car. As long as you have speed, it will be easy to maintain your balance. If you are about to fall, you will have time to step on the ground again. Practice a few more times and you will be fine." Well, if you step on the ground when the car goes sideways, you'll never make progress."

No, I can't fall, I can't take risks!Can't hurt my face!

I wanted to ask Zhuo Wenyang for help, but I saw that he was concentrating on recording with his mobile phone.

"..."

He watched the fire from the other side.

Can't you do something right?

Thinking of all this being recorded by the ruthless machine, I can only bite the bullet and continue with my mission.

Well, get ready, let's go!Hey, why is it about to fall again, step on the ground quickly!

Walk!Hey, it didn't fall this time!No down no down no down!Hurry up!Go up with the other foot!I pedal!Ah, that's great!Hey, hey, why is it about to fall again, brake quickly!landing!Looking back, oh my god, it was too fierce, I have already walked six or seven meters, it's amazing!I must be a little genius!

I will pedal again!Hey, it didn't fall again!Get the other foot up!Hey, it still didn't fall!That's great!I've been walking!Not bad!Hey, the handlebars are shaking a bit!Hold on! Hold on!better!Two more laps!I can!continue!Hey hey crooked crooked crooked!What the hell am I!

"Bang Dang" I fell to the ground completely without image.

Cheng Yichen immediately ran over: "Are you all right?"

"it's okay no problem."

I blamed myself for being too involved. Originally, one foot would be vigilant and refused to leave the ground completely, but as soon as I got up on the ride, I forgot to land in time.

I ride slowly, and I can't hurt if I fall. The pain is a bit painful, but it feels really good.

I got up, and happily continued my staggering pedaling.

Cheng Yichen followed me, patiently guiding me.

"When you ride a straight line, you don't need to use too much force with your hands. If you use too much force, the handlebars will deviate from the direction. Even if you feel that the handlebars are crooked, don't panic. Use your forearms and wrists to correct the direction a little bit. affect the balance."

Cheng Yichen asked me to get out of the car, and he demonstrated it to me again.

"Your fingers are too tense. The stronger your hand is, the more the car will fail. You can relax a little, because you really feel that you can't control it. Just squeeze the brake and put your foot on the ground."

After repeated teachings, I twisted and swayed left and right, and finally managed to ride for tens of meters, but I rode like twisted twists, and I couldn't walk in a straight line at all, let alone turn.

Occasionally, the people who eat melons passing by are looking at me with funny eyes.

I provided a beautiful landscape for the park, and all the old men and women who had nothing to do came to watch the excitement, and watched me rushing towards the walls and bushes again and again.

An old man muttered: "You can't ride a bicycle at this age?"

Why, I don't think you can drive!

A few elementary school students even rode children's bicycles around me in circles, unleashing their taunting skills frantically.

Why is there too little homework in the summer vacation? If you don't do your homework at home, what are you doing here?

In the crowd of young and old, I decided to raise my head high and face all this calmly.

In terms of thick skin, I am a professional!

After nearly three hours of climbing and rolling, I was finally able to ride out for a long distance smoothly and without twisting.

I try to manage my facial expressions so that I don't laugh too silly.

But it’s really cool to be able to ride a bicycle, hahahaha!

I was pedaling the car slowly on the grass in the park, and the evening breeze was blowing on my face. This feeling was very comfortable, as if it was some kind of flying.

It makes people feel that all the previous embarrassment was worth it.

After riding a long circle triumphantly, Zhuo Wenyang held up his mobile phone and said while recording, "Congratulations, you can ride a bicycle now."

Cheng Yichen smiled: "You are really a quick learner, you are a smart kid!"

The elementary school student next to him immediately made a disdainful sound.

Cheng Yichen smiled and said, "It's a pity that I can't buy you a four-wheeled car right now."

He really couldn't afford it with his own money.I don't even like the car that Cheng Yichen drives, if you buy me a Chery QQ, then I might as well ride a bicycle.

"I'll give you two wheels first, and I'll fill in the rest later."

I was not polite to him at all: "Then I'll wait!"

Zhuo Wenyang put away his phone and said, "To celebrate Lin Jingxi's bicycle, let's go out for dinner."

OK, I gladly accept this!

So the three of us went to eat Wagyu hot pot. I happily ate a lot of American top beef short ribs, A5 Japanese Miyazaki Wagyu, and peeled Boston lobster.

What's even happier is that Zhuo Wenyang paid for the meal.The food Zhuo Wenyang bought for us is of course extraordinary!

I went home happily after eating and drinking, but after a while, I saw Zhuo Wenyang edited the best video of my car training and sent it to the three groups.

After reading it, Ke Luo quickly expressed his thoughts: "No wonder, every time I play games, Lin Jing drives me on a motorcycle, and accidents happen. How dare you drive without a license!"

I forwarded the video to Yuan Keke, Yuan Keke said laughingly: "You are too good!"

"I think I'm a quick learner, and I'm making great progress! I must be a genius!"

"Cough~ tui!"

To be honest, I also find it funny.

So before going to bed, I lay in bed and watched it again.

In the video, I really look like an idiot. I really admire Zhuo Wenyang, who can not laugh out loud when recording.

And when I was running around like a mindless fly, Cheng Yichen was actually in my sight all the time.

I know he's doing this to give me a sense of security.When practicing, there is someone you trust in your vision, and your mentality will be much calmer.

I was too nervous to look at his face while riding.But now when I watch the video, I can clearly see all his movements and expressions.

His guidance, his attention, his tension, his relief, his expression of hearty laugh.

He seems to be filling in the gaps in my life where the role of father is a little bit for me.

And I, unconsciously, seek the fatherly love I lack in him.
