After half a lifetime of navigating the world, the system tells me to be a good big brother!

Lin Xia finally praised Li Qing, but her slightly trembling fingertips betrayed her; her heart was far from calm.

Ignoring Li Qing's reaction, Lin Xia held the car keys in her hand and circled the new car twice.

His hands kept touching the shiny car paint, and he would occasionally pull on the car door, a smile unconsciously spreading across his face.

"You idiot, why did you buy such an expensive car? You didn't even discuss it with me. I'm actually quite fine riding an electric scooter."

Li Qing leaned against the car door, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, and smiled as he replied to Lin Xia.

"You've been with me for seven years, through wind and sun, I can't let you ride an electric scooter forever!"

Besides, your electric scooter is fine for daily riding, but you can't go out in bad weather. It's better to have a car.

Finally, it was my turn. Me, a grown man, sitting on the back of an electric scooter, it felt like Lu Bu riding a dog.

As soon as Li Qing finished speaking, Lin Xia was amused by him.

As for backing out, she certainly wouldn't, because based on her understanding of Li Qing, the money spent on the car wouldn't have a significant impact on him.

While they were talking, the billiard hall staff and customers also came over and circled the car to look at it.

At the same time, they kept congratulating Lin Xia, praising the car's beauty, and expressing Li Qing's affection for him.

The commotion caused Lin Xia's face to turn quite red.

"Come on, drive me around, esteemed owner!"

Lin Xia blushed and tried to refuse, but in the end she couldn't resist Li Qing's insistence and was half-heartedly pushed into the driver's seat.

Once in the car, Lin Xia gripped the steering wheel and carefully started the engine.

She then drove around the billiard hall, slowly making her way around. As she became more familiar with the car, she gradually increased her speed.

"This car is so easy to drive!"

Hearing Lin Xia's praise for the car, Li Qing was overjoyed, feeling that the car was definitely worth buying.

"Of course, no money is wasted."

Neither of them returned to the billiard hall that afternoon. After Lin Xia became more familiar with the driving, Li Qing directed her onto the highway.

Lin Xia drove her car at high speed on the highway and arrived in Boshan in less than two hours.

Since Li Qing put that money on the motorcycle this year, the two of them haven't gone out to play.

This time, because of the new car, Li Qing didn't hesitate at all and directly directed Lin Xia to Boshan.

They chatted and laughed all the way, and Lin Xia also told Li Qing how satisfied she was with the car.

When we arrived at our destination, it wasn't too late; in fact, it was just in time for dinner.

That evening, the two of them first strolled around the Eighth Bureau and then ate some local barbecue.

After a satisfying meal, the two found a hotel and began an unprecedented and intense battle of wits.

This time, perhaps because she wasn't home, and also because of the new car, Lin Xia was particularly relaxed.

Li Qing enjoyed the imperial treatment all night and only fell into a deep sleep after he was exhausted from all the activities.

The next day, neither of them woke up too early; they both slept until late morning.

Although they were awake, neither of them said they were getting up. Lin Xia just nestled in Li Qing's arms and scrolled through her phone.

At this moment, Li Qing was looking at his merit points balance.

Merit Points: 851

Although his current merits were enough to allow him to participate in another lottery draw, Li Qing did not do so this time.

Since there's not much need to draw at the moment, he's thinking of waiting and seeing, and then drawing twice more when he's accumulated another two hundred merits.

Another thing is that the last lottery still makes him feel uneasy, and he really doesn't want to experience that feeling of being stunned again.

Although the skills I ultimately acquired were quite good, the overall experience was really not good.

Just as he was thinking about these things, Lin Xia held up her phone in front of his eyes.

"Look at this car, it really brings back memories! I haven't seen this model for so many years!"

Li Qing saw a very old truck on the screen that was stretched in front of him.

The Dongfeng 140, with its industrial-style blue, instantly transported him back to the last century.

"How did you end up seeing this car?"

"I don't know either, I just kept refreshing and it appeared. I loved this car when I was a kid."

My neighbor's dad used to drive this car, and I was so envious of him back then.

Li Qing lowered his head and saw the emotions hidden in Lin Xia's eyes—a mixture of envy, nostalgia, and resentment.

He knew what Lin Xia was thinking; she was homesick, even if the memories of that home weren't pleasant.

"Missing home? I'll take you back to visit sometime!"

After hearing what Li Qing said, Lin Xia's body stiffened for a moment, but then softened again.

"I have thought about it, but I don't want to go back! Right now, Gaoyan City, this county-level city, is my home."

Li Qing rested his chin on Lin Xia's head, and neither of them spoke again.

But the Dongfeng 140 truck that Lin Xia had shown him earlier was deeply imprinted in his mind.

Suddenly, an idea popped into his head: since Lin Xia said she liked the look of the Dongfeng 140 truck, why not modify the front of his newly bought tank to look like that?

He himself has excellent intermediate mechanical repair skills. As long as he has the equipment, he can completely modify it into a tank off-road vehicle in the shape of Dongfeng 140.

This allows Lin Xia to transform her childhood envy into something she now possesses.

This idea also gives him something to do in his spare time.

After finishing his business with Liu Heng, there wouldn't be any trouble at the motorcycle shop with Xiao Guo watching over it.

Once an idea took hold, Li Qing felt as if she had found a new toy, and her mind wandered off without her noticing.

Having finally managed to get out, Li Qing didn't rush back immediately, as this matter wasn't urgent.

Afterwards, Li Qing took Lin Xia and they had a good time around Boshan for a few days.

After having had their fill of fun outside, the two finally returned to Gaoyan a week later.

Their lives returned to normal after that.

Lin Xia drives between her home, the motorcycle shop, and the billiard hall every day, and sometimes she also visits Li Qing's parents' house.

Li Qing had an idea in mind and immediately took action.

The back warehouse of his motorcycle shop, which was previously empty, is now occupied by various sheet metal equipment.

Li Qing and Lin Xia lived a peaceful life, while Liu Heng, who went to the plateau, experienced an exceptionally exciting life.

The transport trucks, loaded with motorcycles, shuttled back and forth between the herders in the pastoral area.

Liu Heng's motorcycles sold very well in the pastoral areas. Although he didn't make much money, he did receive quite a few live animals.

While he kept selling cars, he was also secretly rejoicing.

His idea of ​​having Li Qing fix up the car was truly ingenious.

If Li Qing hadn't intervened this time, he would definitely be in deep trouble.

The driving environment on the plateau is really different from that down below, even though he had previously traveled by motorcycle here.

The difference between paved and unpaved roads is enormous.

Without Li Qing's preparation, if the vehicle were to be transported up, he would definitely not be able to leave the pastoral area this time.
