Why race if you don’t have money?

Chapter 15 Women only affect driving speed
Chen Xiangbei didn't care about Fatty Wang's "praise". He was thinking about the words he blurted out.

[She only likes you because you attract her]

Chen Xiangbei didn’t know whether Dong Yuanxi liked him or not, but at least he was sure that she didn’t hate him.

If that's the case, then there must be some trait in me that attracted her. What exactly is it?

Just when Chen Xiangbei was thinking about the key point of the problem, Xue Meiting happened to be discussing him with her best friend Yang Xinxin.

"Meiting, Chen Xiangbei treated you like this, and you took the initiative to message him last night?"

When Zhao Xinxin heard Xue Meiting say that she sent a "good night" message to Chen Xiangbei, she felt a little unbelievable and wondered what was going on in her head.

"Well, I'm not willing to give up."

Xue Meiting pouted and replied.

"Why are you unwilling? It was you who rejected Chen Xiangbei before, not him who rejected you."

"But now he's rejecting me!"

When she said this, Xue Meiting felt a lump in her throat and burst into tears. She had never felt so wronged before.

This is not like a romance drama, where she suddenly realizes that she has fallen in love with Chen Xiangbei without realizing it, and now she feels regret after losing him.

In fact, Xue Meiting saw the video of Chen Xiangbei driving Dong Yuanxi home on the school forum. She felt that she was outdone, and the girl's jealousy could not be suppressed and burst out.

Yang Xinxin was stunned when she saw this scene. She felt that she couldn't figure it out. Does Xue Meiting like Chen Xiangbei? She is unwilling to accept him, but he refuses her?

"Hey, don't cry, it's not like you don't have boys chasing you."

Yang Xinxin quickly patted Xue Meiting on the back to comfort her. Her best friend was considered a beauty both in the class and in the school, and there was no shortage of boys pursuing her as long as she was willing.

"I clearly gave Chen Xiangbei hope, so why is he so fickle and just doesn't want to pursue me anymore?"

"How is he indecisive?"

"You saw the video on Tieba. Chen Xiangbei messaged Dong Yuanxi in front of me yesterday and drove her home that night!"

"But why does it feel like Dong Yuanxi took the initiative in the video..."

Yang Xinxin replied weakly, it was clearly Dong Yuanxi who called Chen Xiangbei.

"I don't care. How can he pursue me while sending other girls home?"

"Didn't you reject him before?"

"That's not a rejection, it's just a test. Girls can't just agree to it easily. They have to pursue him for a while to see if he has the perseverance."

Ah this...

Xue Meiting's logic made it impossible for Yang Xinxin to understand.

Fortunately, Chen Xiangbei didn't hear this conversation. What does it mean to pursue someone for a longer time to see their perseverance? Even Pinxixi's cuts didn't keep people in suspense like you did. You still have to show a progress bar of 97.6%, right?

"So what do you want to do?"

"I don't know what to do, but I just feel like he's doing this wrong!"

Hearing this, Yang Xinxin finally understood what was going on. This was a woman's terrifying possessiveness...

"You just felt unbalanced when you saw Chen Xiangbei shift his target to Dong Yuanxi."

Yang Xinxin pointed out Xue Meiting's thoughts incisively.

If it were the old Chen Xiangbei, he might have been lured back by this operation. After all, the initial heartbeat of youth is hard to forget, just as Fatty Wang said. If you don't really like someone, who would be willing to be a dog?

But now, this hot-and-cold approach to fishing for black bass has no effect on Chen Xiangbei. Putting aside the extra life experience gained from living a new life, for a driver, women only slow him down!

The noise in the classroom did not last long. The head teacher came in to lead the morning reading, and soon the chatting turned into the sound of reading aloud.

The class passed quickly, but after the bell rang, the homeroom teacher, Wu Jiang, did not leave. Just when the students thought he was going to keep the class over, Wu Jiang cleared his throat and said, "Classmates, I have some good news to announce."

"Next month, the famous writer Han Han will come to our school to give a lecture. Not only will students be able to meet him up close, but they will also have the opportunity to get his autographed books."

Han Han is coming?

The classroom instantly became lively upon hearing the news. You have to know that Han Han's "rebellious" image, coupled with his youth literature, was once regarded by many as an idol of an era, and he had countless fans on campus.

In addition, even if you are not a fan of Han Han and have no interest in his works, you still have reason to cheer.

The reason is very simple, that is when a celebrity comes to the school to give lectures, it means that there will be no classes for at least half a day!

For example, someone like Fatty Wang may not even know what Han Han’s works are about, but you just need to tell him to follow Han Han without attending classes, and he will become Han Han’s most loyal fan.

But Chen Xiangbei was the only exception among all the students. He didn't care about Han Han's identity as a writer or celebrity, nor did he care about not having classes for half a day. The only thing he really cared about was Han Han's identity as a driver.

In a sense, Han Han can also be considered a racing genius. He was originally doing well as a best-selling author, but he decided to switch to racing and participate in professional competitions.

In the eyes of the outside world, most people thought he was just playing around, the kind of person who had too much money to burn. Readers didn't understand, and the professional community didn't take him seriously. But who would have thought that in just a few years, he would become a national champion in both circuit racing and rallying.

Later, he turned his professional racing experience into three films about rally racing, and successfully transformed himself into a box office hit director.

In his previous life, Chen Xiangbei and Han Han had met several times, but the two were involved in different types of racing, and Chen Xiangbei had not developed in China for many years, so their relationship was at most an acquaintance.

I didn't expect that after being reborn, I would see Han Han again in this situation. I couldn't help but sigh that life is sometimes really wonderful.

After announcing the news, the head teacher Wu Jiang walked out of the classroom, leaving the students still excitedly discussing Han Han's deeds.

Zhou Yanjing, who was sitting in the front, seemed to have thought of something at this moment. He turned to look at Chen Xiangbei and asked, "Xiangbei, if I remember correctly, last year's CCC national champion was Han Han, right?"

"Well, he won the 222cc category championship on behalf of the Donghai 1600 team."

"Wang Yidong said you're a very good racer. Roughly how close are you to Han Han's level?"

When Chen Xiangbei heard Zhou Chenshu's question, he suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at?"

When his deskmate Wang Pangzi saw this scene, he felt a little puzzled. Could it be that Chen Xiangbei felt ashamed of himself?

However, Fatty Wang felt that Chen Xiangbei ran very well at Nanyun Mountain that day, and should be able to reach 30% to 40% of Han Han's level, so he should not be unqualified for comparison.

"Zhou Yanjing, do you know about the Donghai International Circuit?"

"know."

Zhou Chenshu nodded. The Donghai F1 Chinese Grand Prix is ​​about to be held, and it is being promoted extensively recently.

"For this track, if you give me a CCC standard car, I can at least beat Han Han by three seconds at the start."

You have to know that the timing standard in racing is thousandths of a second. Even a few tenths of a second in a lap can determine the winner. A three-second difference means a cliff-like gap. The two drivers are simply not on the same level.

But Chen Xiangbei wasn't finished yet, and immediately added, "The faster the car, the greater the gap between me and Han Han. If we compare it to an F1 car, I can leave him behind by more than seconds!"

PS: Thanks to all the big brothers for their tips and votes, I can test the waters and push it on Sunday! In fact, the big brothers are really awesome. A few hundred collections have achieved the level of follow-up votes of one or two thousand collections. It’s just that the base of the niche collection is low.
