Will the plagiarism girl be a substitute for the preference for women?

Now she just stood there, not bringing up either of the two things.

boom??

It wasn't until China accidentally twisted the accelerator a little too much that the roar of the engine made Shoko's body tremble before he came to his senses.

"Ah, I'm sorry!" China clasped her hands together and took a small step back.

Hai Ling smiled nonchalantly:

"It's okay, it wouldn't make such a loud noise if you twisted it like that."

"What's wrong with this car?"

China bent down to inspect the car, but it looked very well maintained.

But soon, her intuition led her eyes to the exhaust pipe, and then she suddenly looked at Hailing.

"Could it be..."

“Yes,” Hailing nodded. “I changed the engine displacement to 250cc, but I have a regular two-wheeled vehicle license that allows me to drive vehicles with engine displacements of 125-400cc.”

Speaking of driver's licenses, China realized that the other person who was thinking about taking the driving test hadn't said a word.

"Xiao Xiang?" she called out as she turned around.

Xiangzi feigned composure and naturally continued the conversation: "There really aren't many original cars left on the streets these days."

Hailing got off the motorcycle and then glanced at the two of them.

"Who are those two planning to buy a motorcycle?"

Judging from her behavior just now, it seemed that Chinai was more interested in motorcycles, but Hailing still asked without prejudging:

“Um… she’s my older sister.” China reached out her arm to Shoko.

Xiangzi nodded: "Just call me Xiangzi. This is my younger sister, Qiannai."

"My name is Hailin. So, what are your plans, China?"

"I just came to take a look," China said, putting one hand behind her back.

Although she longed for it, she put aside her idea of ​​riding a motorcycle for the time being.

Putting aside the strict investigation, it's definitely not allowed to drive while taking psychiatric medication. Safety is the most important thing, unless she's willing to risk her life someday.

"Ok."

Hailing responded, then sat sideways on the motorcycle and explained in detail.

"So, Xiangzi, what kind of driver's license are you planning to get? This will affect the types of cars you can choose next, as well as some modification options."

"The original payment is relatively simple, allowing vehicles with an engine displacement of less than 50cc, mainly electric motorcycles."

"Then there are small, limited-edition regular two-wheelers that can handle 50-125cc engines."

Hailing patted the Honda CG125 behind him.

"This motorcycle was originally designed for 125cc."

"Next is the more difficult and more expensive ordinary two-wheeled vehicle, which can drive a 125399cc vehicle and go on the highway. Finally, there is the large two-wheeled vehicle that can drive a 400cc or larger vehicle, which requires you to be 18 years old or older."

After the presentation, Hailing offered a solution.

"Generally speaking, a 125cc engine is sufficient for most daily commutes."

"But if you want an easier test and still want to drive a large-displacement vehicle, you can start with a small, limited-edition regular two-wheeled vehicle. After you're proficient, you can modify the engine to increase its displacement..."

"I'll just take the regular second-round test," Xiangzi said confidently.

"Wow, that's amazing!" China clapped her hands.

Hailing obtained her driver's license smoothly in six days, so she was neither surprised nor dissuaded from Xiangzi's choice. However, she still had one question to confirm.

Are you planning to drive a car with a large engine displacement?

"Yes," Xiangzi quickly confirmed.

This was somewhat unexpected for Qian Nai. She had thought that Xiangzi only intended to use the motorcycle for transportation, but driving a large-displacement motorcycle meant that he wanted a better driving experience.

Hailing further confirmed, "Are you going to buy a large-displacement engine directly, or buy a 125cc engine and modify it?"

"Just buy it." Xiangzi answered succinctly.

Hailing continued to explain the benefits of her plan.

"If you want to drive a car with a large engine displacement, cars with an engine displacement of 251cc or more need to undergo annual inspections. However, if you buy a car with a smaller engine displacement and then modify it to have an engine displacement of 251cc or more, you can save on this expense..."

Xiangzi paused for a moment, sensing that Hailing's words had a hidden meaning.

"Excuse me, did you notice me when I left home yesterday?"

"Ah..." China suddenly straightened up, her gaze shifting between the two of them, and she sensed the atmosphere becoming tense.

"Yes," Hailing replied readily.

Xiangzi pursed his lips, his eyes flashing with anxious light, as if he had a lot to say.

But eventually, things returned to calm.

She didn't ask Hailing if she had considered her family's financial situation before devising this money-saving plan for her, nor did she deliberately emphasize that her own financial conditions had improved.

Instead, he calmly asked, "How much can we save this way?"

Hailing did not respond to Xiangzi's emotional change by suppressing laughter or making any other frivolous remarks, and calmly stated the annual inspection fee.

After Xiangzi entered the amount of money he could save into the expense tracking app, he continued.

"Okay. Let me recommend some 125cc motorcycles and modification shops first."

"What price range are you looking for?" Hailing asked.

"...I don't know much about the market, so you can make a recommendation first." After hesitating for a moment, Xiangzi said this.

"Honda CB125F".

Hailing then used his mobile phone to search for the motorcycle, and the price was basically over 50 yen, which is considered the most expensive among Honda's 125cc motorcycles.

It's higher than Xiangzi's current monthly salary.

The annual inspection fee she just saved for Xiangzi was only a drop in the ocean compared to this.

Xiangzi wondered if Hailing had deliberately recommended such an expensive motorcycle as a joke after seeing his rented room.

Instead of asking about cheaper styles, she continued:

"What about... a car modification shop?"

"Just look for me," Hailing said, tapping the exhaust pipe with her heel. "I modified this one myself."

"Varied……"

Xiangzi seemed to understand something, and she could no longer help but voice her doubts.

"I initially thought you had looked at my house and realized my financial situation wasn't good, so you were trying to save me some money. But then you recommended such an expensive motorcycle, which left me a bit confused..."

“Seeing is not necessarily believing. I can’t make a conclusion until you explain your financial situation,” Hailing explained.

"...I misunderstood something just now, I'm sorry." Xiangzi lowered his head.

"How many short dramas of CEOs pretending to be cleaners have they watched to be so cautious..."

Chika complained, then looked at Hailing's motorcycle.

"So, was the whole thing about saving on inspection fees just a way to sell you your modifications?"

"Mm," Hailing replied with a calm smile.

Chika smiled and then looked at Shoko: "I want to hire her."

"I did come here today with the intention of collaborating with her. Chu Hua said she is a very excellent bassist."

China's eyes widened in surprise: "Ah, why didn't you tell me sooner and save me a surprise? Or...?"

Chika leaned close to Hailing with a sly smile and whispered, "Does my sister want to have her all to herself?"

Xiangzi replied with a hint of annoyance, "Then I wouldn't have invited you."

But replying to Minato's strange question only made me angrier.

When Hailing heard that the other party mentioned that he was a bassist, his expression became more serious, and he straightened up from the motorcycle he was sitting on.

What are the details of the collaboration?

Chapter 142 The Shrimp Catcher!

"Build a commercial band."

Xiangzi's brief response moved Hailing deeply.

After wandering for so long, will we finally find a safe harbor to rest in?

At the same time, it also reminded China of the band plans that Shoko had written in her notebook.

A gust of wind blew by, causing the grass along the street to sway and rustle. Their hair was blown by the wind and danced on their cheeks, giving them a sense of solemnity.

Xiangzi folded up the umbrella that was swaying in the wind, smoothed his hair, and looked at Qianna solemnly:

"You once asked me, 'Do you really want to bury your dreams deep in your heart?'"

"In the year before I met you, my life was bleak, so I could only write my dreams in a notebook."

"You have helped and inspired me until now."

Xiangzi smiled, her lips trembling slightly as she tried to hide her gratitude.

"Your success is a vivid and real example right before my eyes, showing me that anything is possible."

China was taken aback by this sudden emotional outburst, and she kept glancing at Hailing, as if to imply that there were outsiders watching.

She was worried that Hailing would "sensibly" back down at any moment.

At this moment, Xiangzi nodded, rested his chin on his hand, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath to calm himself down.

Even though Hailing had already seen her rented apartment, she didn't try to hide her feelings when she said those words that symbolized her downfall.

However, there are still many in-depth topics, such as the matter between her and Chinami, which Shang can only discuss with Chinami when they are alone.

So, as she always did when seeking collaborations, she spoke with a touch of business professionalism and in a calm tone:

"The idea of ​​establishing a commercial band is a personal project I've been considering. Before I formally introduce the project..."

Xiangzi looked at Qiannai as if he were showing her respect.

"Chika, it was indeed my oversight not to mention yesterday that Hailing is an excellent bassist, which didn't give you much time to consider it."

"But if you have any intention to cooperate with Hailing, you should speak first."

“Um…” China looked at the Honda CG125 and had some rather unorthodox thoughts.

For example, there's the collaborative project where she pays Hailing to take her for a drive.

But she stopped joking and focused her thoughts on the music.

"sister……"

When China saw Hailing's handsome face, she couldn't help but call her that.

Which band are you in now?

"I currently play bass for more than 30 bands," Hailing casually stated the number.

"Thirty-something?!" China exclaimed in surprise.

She's no longer curious about the names of those thirty-odd bands; she's more interested in Hailing's strong time management skills and diligence.

He's practically a superman...

"May I see your hands?" China asked, pointing to Hailing's gloves.

"Ah."

Hailing tore open the Velcro clasp on the motorcycle glove and slowly took it off, revealing a slender and well-defined hand, the skin still slightly damp from the heat of the glove.

China overlooked this point and slowly raised Hailing's hand.

The calluses on my fingertips weren't noticeable; instead, they were smoother and shinier, a result of playing with the correct fingering over a long period.

"These fingers are perfect for playing a five-string bass..." China exclaimed.
