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

“I do use a five-string bass a lot these days,” Hailing replied.

Xiangzi coughed twice, and Qiannai stopped comparing her hands with Hailing's before formally introducing herself.

"Well, I am... that streaming singer who recently decided to debut as a virtual YouTuber..."

Then, China opened the music player's personal homepage to prove herself.

I've given three self-introductions in two days... My company, Qiannai Interactive Entertainment Co., Ltd., is really hot when it comes to hiring.

"You are very famous."

Hai Ling, who is usually calm and collected, rarely showed surprise.

"I guess I'm one of the lucky ones in the world of big data," Qian Nai said with a smile, scratching her head.

Before China could ask about the collaborative composition as she habitually did, Hailing humbly stated:

"I'm sorry, I don't have any famous works personally, so if we collaborate on music, I can't provide the same massive reach as you."

"It's okay~"

China placed her hand on the back seat of the motorcycle and spoke lightly and carefree.

"If you take me for a ride, I'll hire you for high salaries when I record songs in the future. If you're interested in becoming a virtual streamer, I can also create a virtual avatar for you."

"Ha ha……"

This offer, which seemed like a windfall, didn't startle Hai Ling, nor did she dismiss it as a joke.

Instead of asking in surprise if it was true, she first fulfilled China's wish: "If you want to go for a drive, I can take you now."

"really?"

China skipped happily to the motorcycle and then moved to the back seat.

"What? Wait a minute..."

Xiangzi, who was standing to the side, couldn't stay calm any longer. She didn't have time to complain about the details of the collaboration, but was more concerned about something else.

"China, didn't you say..."

Xiangzi reminded her halfway through, without mentioning bipolar disorder, as she felt that China herself would understand.

But Chika gave a blank "Huh?" and then said, "Let's go take a walk and come back later. Hailing, let's go."

"Hold on tight," Hai Ling reminded, then took another helmet from the trunk and gave it to Qian Nai.

With a roar of the engine, the motorcycle sped away.

"Wait……"

Just as Xiangzi reached out to call for a stop, the two figures had already sped away into the distance.

…………

Wow... Wow, so fast!

As she watched the scenes rushing past on both sides and heard the whistling sound of the wind, China's heart began to race.

She leaned back, gripping the railing next to the trunk tightly with both hands.

Clearly, this posture did not make it feel at ease. Its center of gravity was too high, and it lacked stable support. Even the slightest turn was like walking a tightrope.

Hailing was about to press the upshift pedal when Qianna exclaimed in surprise, causing her to stop. She then said, "The speed is only 50km/h now..."

"Only 50? I never feel it when I'm in the car..." China exclaimed.

"Iron-clad flesh and flesh-clad iron are indeed two different situations. Without the protection of an outer vehicle body, instinctive tension is normal."

Hailing rode skillfully as she spoke,

"We're almost at a sharp bend. If you're worried about losing your balance, you'd better hold on to me."

"Okay!"

China then leaned forward and moved her hands from the railing to Hailing's side.

The correct sitting posture did make her feel much safer, and it also made her heart flutter.

Even through the cycling jersey, she could still feel the graceful curves of her waist and abdomen beneath it.

"Sis, you usually..."

As China hesitated to ask Hailing if she had been practicing her back exercises, the car had already reached a sharp bend.

With the sudden tilt of the car and the pull of centrifugal force, she instinctively closed her eyes, pressed her face against Hailing's back, and gripped her side waist even tighter.

"Ah...sorry, I squeezed too hard..."

After rounding the bend, China apologized awkwardly.

"fine"

Hai Ling said dismissively, then asked...

"What did you want to ask?"

"Um, it's nothing..."

If Chika wasn't wearing a helmet, she would definitely try her best to suppress the shyness on her face.

It's so strange. I've never been as shy as a sand dune cat when I was taking a bath with Su Shixiang!

.........

After completing one lap, Hailing drove back to Xiangzi's original position and slowly came to a stop.

"call."

Seeing that the two were safe and sound, Xiangzi patted his chest.

She had been worried that China might have a manic episode while riding the motorcycle, and that she might lose her balance and cause them both to fall.

"Phew, this is so...exciting."

When China got off the motorcycle, her legs went weak the moment they touched the ground.

A relieved smile graced her lips, but a hint of lingering fear betrayed deep within her eyes.

Xiangzi could sense the thrilling experience she had on the motorcycle.

"So afraid, yet someone still takes him for a ride..."

Xiangzi, hands on his hips, said helplessly, then solemnly stated to Hailing,

"Thank you for pleasing my sister, but before we can work together, we still need you to prove your abilities."

Hai Ling nodded calmly and said, "I'm going to perform at RiNG soon. If you'd like, please come and watch."

"Then please ask the band to allow you to turn up the volume of the effects pedals a bit, so we can hear your playing better," China whispered to herself, her hands behind her back like a little devil.

“It’s a song with a bass solo,” Hailing said.

"So, are you going to perform in your cycling outfit later? It looks pretty cool..." China asked curiously.

Xiangzi wanted to get to the point quickly, so before Qiannai could ask any more questions, he spoke up.

"Then you should go to RiNG's place to make preparations. We'll be there soon."

"Xiao Xiang... I want to ride with Hai Ling in his car." Qian Nai pinched Xiang Zi's sleeve with two fingers.

"No," Xiangzi said firmly, grasping her hand that was gripping his sleeve.

With her older sister holding her like that, China could only watch helplessly as her other sister rode away.

However, besides worrying about her safety, she felt that Xiangzi had something else to say about keeping her here.

Chapter 143 is in production...

After Hailing's figure gradually disappeared into the distance, Xiangzi slowly loosened his grip on Qiannai's hand, but still held it tightly.

For the past few days, Shoko has been speaking with China as her agent.

As for her own dream, which is also a dream that China hopes to witness come true, she is slowly planning it in her spare time.

It's time to explain this in detail to China.

"China...you still remember, right?"

Xiangzi turned around and said,

"About that commercial band project I wrote in my notebook."

Chika smiled and nodded, responding gently, "I've always remembered. You value the stage performance effect very much; your notebook is full of sketches of stage costumes."

"I'm using your tablet to draw these sketches now, which makes revisions much easier. Would you like to sit down and take a look?"

"of course."

Chika sensed that Shoko's tone was very gentle, subtly revealing her desire to share her joy at the achievement.

What a rare moment of emotion... If I don't criticize her outfit design, she'll probably maintain it for even longer.

The two held hands gently and walked to a chair under the shade of a tree to sit down.

Then, Xiangzi took out the Samsung tablet from his bag and showed it to Qiannai some three-view drawings of clothing.

They are some gorgeous, Gothic-style clothes with clean lines and standard compositions.

To be honest, she is indeed a young lady born into a prestigious family, and she is proficient in poetry, calligraphy, music, and painting. Although I have never heard Xiangzi recite haiku.

“I should ask you to draw my virtual avatar,” China exclaimed.

"I haven't reached that level yet. These are just drafts. I need to ask someone else to draw them into commercial designs before I can customize the clothing."

Xiangzi said modestly, but she was confident in the projects she was personally handling, including her own clothing design ideas.

As China listened, she flipped through the tablet pages; the next page showed detailed displays and descriptions of the costumes and props.

For example, hats, gloves, shoes, and... masks?

"This eye mask is for myself. I've only drawn the outer outline of it so far, so it might look a bit plain."

Xiangzi pointed to the asymmetrical eye patch in the drawing and said...

"The actual design will be a semi-transparent pattern. Mine is gladiolus, and the other team members can choose their own flowers."

China couldn't recall the meaning of gladiolus flowers, and couldn't comment on it before the official design of the mask was released, so she just guessed.

"The other members are Xiaomu, Chuhua, and Hailing, right?"

"Yes"

Xiangzi placed his hand on Qiannai's hand again, expressing his feelings with a solemn yet pleading tone.

“They also have plans to collaborate with you, so I need your approval before forming the band.”

Chika agreed without hesitation: "I approved your dream a long time ago."

She continued, "Moreover, my collaboration with you and them doesn't conflict with yours. You can form a band, and I can write lyrics and music for you."

Hearing this, Xiangzi's brows revealed his concerns: "In order to reflect the gothic style and worldview, this band's repertoire will inevitably include elements of heavy metal, but they will also appropriately insert one or two ballads."

"Is Xiao Xiang still worried that I'm not good at heavy metal arrangements... Although I haven't listened to enough of that, I'll still write some."

Seeing that Xiangzi seemed to be deep in thought, Qiannai changed the subject.

"Speaking of which, what is your worldview...?"

"The world-building can only be further developed after all the members have clearly explained the roles they want to play," Xiangzi said.

"I see... Speaking of which, the lower right side of this mask is larger. Is there any significance to that?"

Xiangzi glanced at the beauty mark under Qiannai's right eye, then lowered his eyes and said, "Please allow me to retain some mystery."

Okay, China rubbed one hand on her knee, her eyes unsure.

After a while, she couldn't help but bring up her inappropriate thoughts, hoping that Xiangzi's composed expression wouldn't suddenly turn serious again.

"Xiao Xiang, if I ever wanted to wear an eye mask and perform on stage... would you agree?"

Why did you have this idea?

Xiangzi believes that Qiannai prefers to do live streams behind the scenes of her virtual avatar, as it is more relaxed and comfortable for her.

However, she did not deny that China also longed for this kind of live performance.

“Um…” China pursed her lips.
