Thank you for the reward from book friend 080926174940669, thank you!
Bai Fan hailed a car and opened the door to let Chen Ruolin get in first, then he got in himself. Once they were seated, Bai Fan told the driver, "Go to Shengda Restaurant."
The driver, who looked like he was in his forties, had been staring at Chen Ruolin since she got on the bus. He didn't react until he heard Bai Fan speak, then started the car and drove off.
Because this is a small place, it's different from those big cities. When the red light is on, no charges will be collected, so drivers generally drive very fast, after all, time is money for them. In the past, if there was nothing important, Baifan really didn't want to take a taxi, always feeling like speeding. Exciting as it was, but also too dangerous.
But now, Bai Fan had a feeling of being in an ox cart, and it was somewhat too slow. Looking at the driver, who would occasionally glance into the rearview mirror, it was clear that he was sneaking peeks at Chen Ruolin.
Although Bai Fan was very certain he couldn't see any spring scenery, this feeling still made him feel quite uncomfortable.
"Master, can you please focus on driving?" Bai Fan couldn't help but remind him.
"Oh." Upon hearing Bai Fan say this, the driver finally calmed down a bit. However, the speed didn't seem to increase much.
From Xinhua Road to Shengda Restaurant, you need to go through a main road. If it's said that the easiest place to get stuck in traffic in the city, then this is absolutely the one. When the taxi drove here, unfortunately, it encountered a traffic jam.
A long line of cars was almost at a standstill, and it was impossible to see how many cars were waiting ahead.
The driver turned off the engine and relaxed. Based on past experience, it's impossible to get through here in less than twenty minutes. If it were usual times, he would have definitely cursed by now, but for now, he felt that waiting a bit longer was no big deal.
There's a beautiful woman with the surname Chen sitting in the car, and even just glancing at her is a pleasure. Looking through the rearview mirror, the driver makes an evil guess about Chen Ruo Lin's identity.
Chen Ruolin found that the driver was stealing glances at her, and she couldn't help but adjust her clothes. Then she turned to Bai Fan and asked, "I don't know how long we'll have to wait, why don't we get off and walk across?"
It's not far from Shengda Restaurant, just a three-minute walk. However, Bai Fan didn't like the look of the driver. Just now he was scolded by himself, and now he is waiting for the red light to gaze at him with a sense of justification.
Bai Fan coldly smiled to himself and then said to Chen Ruolin: "It's okay, let's wait a bit. When the next lamp comes on, we can pass through."
"Uh-huh." Chen Ruolin nodded, she just disliked that driver's lewd gaze at her.
The driver secretly smiled to himself, originally he was worried that they would get off the bus like this, but now the back of the bus is already full of cars, if they got off, he wouldn't be able to turn around and leave either, it's better to enjoy the beautiful woman coming over.
"Think you can just pass by at the next traffic light? Hehe, just wait and see, it's impossible to get past without waiting for 7 or 8 lights."
The driver smiled complacently and just pulled out a cigarette to take a puff. Smoking the small cigarette, looking at the beauty, enjoying it...
He had just lit a fire and hadn't even taken a sip when the driver saw that the traffic light had changed, and the cars in front began to move slowly. He didn't pay much attention, as the light's duration was very short, probably only twenty seconds or so, not enough for several cars to pass. So he just slightly pressed the accelerator and moved forward slowly.
However, he was surprised to find that the car in front of him was going very fast, and according to his estimate, at least seven or eight cars had passed by, yet it was still a green light.
It's been at least half a minute, but the light still hasn't changed. The driver drove forward with a puzzled mind.
He walks this road at least a few dozen times a day, so he's very clear about the timing of the traffic lights. If it were usual, it would have turned red by now, but it's still green!
"What's going on? Is today's traffic light broken or something? Why hasn't it changed yet?" the driver muttered to himself.
Bai Fan sneered coldly. "Isn't that good enough? If you leave early, you can also pick up other passengers and make more money."
"Heh heh." The driver awkwardly smiled and didn't say a word, his eyes fixed on the indicator light.
Vehicles passed one by one, and it was clear that many people were also puzzled about the timing of this indicator light, but they didn't think much about it.
A minute has passed and the car in front has already gone halfway. The driver looked at his phone, it's been so long, but the light hasn't changed yet. Is the turn signal broken?
Although he was puzzled in his heart, no one could help him solve this problem. As the cars ahead became fewer and fewer, he finally passed by too.
Not far from the traffic police station is the Shengda restaurant. The driver stopped the car and was still muttering to himself. After taking a look at the amount on the meter, Bai Fan handed over the money. The driver found the change, and Bai Fan and Chen Ruolin got out of the car.
The driver didn't rush to leave and continue carrying passengers, but instead hesitantly dialed the traffic bureau's phone number. "Hello, is the traffic light on xx Road broken? The green light has been on for over two minutes!"
"Somebody has already raised this question and our technical department is checking it. The specific situation is not clear yet. Thank you for your enthusiastic reminder."
The driver hung up the phone with a mixture of emotions, but suddenly remembered what Bai Fan had said earlier.
"Wait for a moment, we can pass at the next light."
At that time he was still disdainful, but the result was indeed just one light had passed. How did he say so accurately? It seemed like this green light was specially extended for him.
Can he still control the timing of the traffic lights? The driver couldn't help but shake his head, thinking to himself that he was overthinking things. Unless it's someone from the transportation bureau, no one else can do it. Moreover, unless there is a specific instruction or directive issued, no one has the right to easily modify the timing of the traffic lights.
"Master, are you leaving?" At this time, someone opened the door to ask, and the driver hastily nodded, asked about the location, and drove away.
As for the strange thing just now, although it made him puzzled and inexplicable, he didn't care about it too much and soon forgot.
Chen Ruolin and Bai Fan walked into the restaurant after getting off the car. As they walked, Chen Ruolin curiously asked: "How did you know we could make it here before the next light? The driver seemed to think this light was going to take a long time."
Bai Fan smiled mysteriously and said, "I was just talking nonsense. Maybe even the heavens don't want him to peek either? Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's find a place to prepare some food."
Chen Ruolin's face turned slightly red, and then she followed Bai Fan to find a place with fewer people to sit down. As soon as they sat down, the waiter came over enthusiastically to take their order.
