I was approached by a cat-eared girl.

After looking at it all, it seems that even airplanes have flaws in the eyes of those who truly understand cars.

Chen Shuo refused to believe it, thinking that with gas prices so high, he should consider electric cars. So he went to a domestic car dealership and test-drove a new energy electric car priced around 300,000 yuan.

Yes, that won't work.

It starts off quite quickly, but the brakes seem a bit unresponsive, and Yangcheng is located in the north, so there aren't many charging stations.

Listen to advice and you'll eat your fill. In the end, after picking and choosing, I was so conflicted that I almost had a stroke of bad luck. Just then, I came across a video of a car crash. An SUV crashed hard into a telephone pole, but the people inside were completely unharmed.

This is good, this is safe.

Then he went to another 4S store to buy a luxury car from the Kai series, which has always had strategic partnerships with major foot massage parlors.

As soon as you enter the showroom, a saleswoman in a business suit greets you with a professional smile. "What price range of cars are you looking for?"

“Our budget is around 300,000,” Chen Shuo said.

The saleswoman nodded, her interest undiminished. In first-tier cities, this price would be considered ordinary, but in a small city like Yangcheng, which was of unknown tier, it was quite good, at least among young people.

She led the two of them to the corresponding price area. There were quite a few cars in this price range from the Kia series, with many different models.

"What style do you prefer, sir? An SUV or..." the saleswoman said, glancing at Chen Shuo, but her eyes kept glancing at the girl next to him. The girl in front of him was so outstanding that even the most discerning eye could not find any flaws.

As a fellow woman, she was very jealous. If she had that kind of looks, she would have been in the entertainment industry long ago. Why would she need to sell cars? Being a big star would be so much better.

However, the man is also very handsome, and the two look quite well-matched standing together. It doesn't make one seem like a precocious child and the other like a chairman.

"An SUV would be better, it has more space."

"Oh..."

The saleswoman let out a sudden "Oh!" Chen Shuo raised an eyebrow, wondering what the woman meant by that "Oh," as if she had suddenly understood something.

Chapter 280 The Need to Buy a Car

After looking around at the 4S store, Chen Shuo finally chose a white SUV. It had a large interior space and low fuel consumption. He test drove the car on the cement ground outside the store, slowly turning in circles, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and occasionally making a sudden stop.

A car enthusiast can roughly judge a car's performance just by looking at it, but a novice like him can only rely on his intuition to slowly test the car before he can judge its quality. The model for comparison is the old man's car.

After a few laps, the handling and comfort were both good, and it was very easy to drive. He also immediately fell in love with the design of the headlights, which had a very high-tech feel.

"Shall we buy this?" Chen Shuo stopped the car and asked Xiao A Miao for her opinion.

"Is this car good?" Bai Xiaoqi asked back. She was only responsible for sitting in the passenger seat and driving along, so she couldn't really tell what the car was like.

"Well, compared to those luxury cars that cost millions, it's definitely far inferior, but for a car in this price range, the performance is quite good. The more expensive ones are just for showing off. We mainly buy cars for transportation, and this car is enough to meet all our needs."

“Oh, speaking of needs, we should try this.” Chen Shuo said, glancing in the rearview mirror. The female saleswoman was standing at the store entrance, waiting in the distance.

Just as Bai Xiaoqi was about to ask what else they should try, she saw Chen Shuo unbuckle his seatbelt and move closer to her.

Chen Shuo was in an awkward position, his lower body in the driver's seat and his upper body leaning towards the passenger seat, one hand resting between her legs and the other hand reaching for the buttons on the left side of the seat.

Feeling his breath on her forehead, Bai Xiaoqi, her heart pounding like a deer, was completely bewildered and forgot to speak for a moment, just staring at him with her dazed eyes.

Only one thought was in my mind: What is this guy doing?

Chen Shuo tilted his head to look at the button, then pressed it down, and the chair back slid down sharply, instantly turning Bai Xiaoqi into a reclining position, highlighting her not-so-full figure.

She glanced at Chen Shuo, who was leaning over her, and suddenly realized what was happening. A blush crept onto her face, spreading to the back of her ears and neck, and she felt her heart pounding faster and faster.

This guy, this guy....

Chen Shuo continued to support himself with one hand, maintaining the posture to observe the width of the chair and the height of the roof, to see if there was enough space.

Although I never thought of it being here, this thing is like an exploding mushroom—you can do without it, but you can't live without it.

Therefore, the space must be large.

"Okay, I'll buy this one. It's quite spacious." Chen Shuo adjusted the seat back, got up and sat back in the driver's seat, let out a long breath, and wiped his forehead.

When he went to check the size of the car's interior space, the inhuman posture he was in was exhausting, and he broke out in a sweat.

At this moment, Bai Xiaoqi finally exhaled the breath she had been holding. She sat up straight, her face slightly flushed, and straightened the wrinkles on her pants. Then she reached out and found the soft flesh on Chen Shuo's waist, and pinched it hard.

After only half a turn, the female salesperson, swaying her hips in her high heels, walked over, politely knocked on the window, and then leaned down to ask, "Gentlemen, are you satisfied with this car?"

Chen Shuo quickly composed himself. "Satisfied, satisfied, very satisfied. We'll buy this one."

Bai Xiaoqi sat in the passenger seat, still looking sullen. When she heard Chen Shuo say "satisfied" three times, she silently glared at him.

She knew all too well what this guy was satisfied with, but she wouldn't say anything, nor would she let him get away with it.

When it was time to pick up the car, the female salesperson next to him kept talking about installment payments, making it sound very appealing. Chen Shuo almost wavered, but Bai Xiaoqi insisted on paying in full. Her reason was simple: buying in installments would involve paying interest, which would mean paying a lot more money for nothing, and it wasn't worth it at all.

In the end, I could only sign the contract amidst the salesperson's resentful gaze. I bought a car for around 300,000 yuan, but because I chose the high-end version, it slightly exceeded my budget, but it wasn't a big problem.

After buying the car, the next step is to go to the vehicle management office to complete the formalities and get a license plate.

Now you can choose your own license plate number, which gives you a lot of autonomy. Chen Shuo even planned to choose a "leopard number" (a number with three identical digits), but after logging in, he found that the time allotted for choosing a number was very short and it was difficult to operate on his mobile phone.

The license plate numbers were dazzling, but in the last few seconds, Chen Shuo quickly chose the license plate with the last three digits being 815.

Although we didn't get the Leopard Number, this is still pretty good. It's not only Bai Xiaoqi's birthday, but also the date they got their marriage certificate. The Leopard Number is certainly nice, but compared to that, this one is more meaningful.

After the sign was hung up and all the formalities were completed, another day quietly passed, and the sun was already setting.

Driving his newly bought car, Chen Shuo didn't drive too fast, taking a slow, snail's pace and keeping the speed at around 30 miles per hour.

"Why are you driving so slowly today?" Bai Xiaoqi sat in the passenger seat, watching the scenery slowly passing by outside the window. "You used to drive Uncle's car quite fast."

"Different."

"What's different?"

“That’s my dad’s car. This is our own car, and it’s brand new. It would be heartbreaking if it got scratched or bumped, so let’s drive slowly. Better safe than sorry.”

"Won't you feel bad if your uncle's car gets scratched or bumped?"

"His car has full insurance coverage, so the insurance company will repair it if it gets scratched or bumped."

So this car doesn't have full insurance?

"Yes, of course I am. Weren't you right next to me when I was handling the insurance paperwork?"

As they were talking, they reached a red light intersection. Chen Shuo stopped the car and said, "Stop asking so many questions. Just watch how I drive. I'm driving slowly to demonstrate for you. You'll be learning to drive in the future too."

"Am I going to learn to drive?" Bai Xiaoqi suddenly perked up, sat up straight, and her eyes seemed to be sparkling.

Why are you so excited?

"If I learn to drive, I can drive over to people waiting for a ride on the roadside and ask them where they're going, just like a taxi driver, and I can even make money." Bai Xiaoqi said with longing. A taxi ride costs ten yuan to start, and twenty yuan for a slightly longer distance.

She doesn't drive specifically; she just picks up passengers going the same way and gives them a ride to earn a little extra money.

"I don't recommend it, and you can't drive it anyway."

"Why? I mean I'll drive it after I've learned how."

"Even after you learn how, I won't let you pass; it's dangerous."

Just then, the red light turned green, and Chen Shuo stepped on the gas to start the car. He continued, "What if we pick up bad guys? Especially a cute and pretty girl like you, you don't look like a threat, so you're more likely to run into bad guys."

So thinking about these things is useless; I will absolutely not agree. Besides, do you think learning to drive is so simple? You might not even be able to learn it at all.

"I'm sure I can learn it," Bai Xiaoqi said confidently.

“You couldn’t even understand elementary school math before, learning to drive is much harder than learning math.”

"snort...."

Bai Xiaoqi's cheeks puffed out, looking somewhat angry. She turned her head to look out the window, ignoring him. This guy even looked down on people.

"Of course, learning to drive is more difficult than math, but the two are still different. You may not have a talent for math, but learning to drive... well, I think you can definitely learn it."

"is it?"

"Yes."

Chen Shuo gripped the steering wheel with a serious expression. He had heard that liars would become cross-eyed, but white lies shouldn't count.

Chapter 281 is especially good.

"I'm going back now..."

After saying goodbye, Su Yu turned and entered the building. Nie Xi watched her back, hesitated for a moment, and then, regardless of whether the other person could see her, raised her hand and waved a few times.

After his figure disappeared into the elevator, he stood at the entrance of the building for a while, pushed up his glasses, walked to the electric scooter next to him, sat down, turned the key to start the scooter, and twisted the handlebars with his right hand.

The car sped off.

Ever since she drove around in her wheelchair, Nie Xi has always felt uncomfortable when driving, mainly because there's no gentle breeze blowing in her face.

Now that his legs are fully recovered, it's not appropriate for him to use a wheelchair anymore, so last month he bought an electric car to simulate that feeling.

To be honest, apart from the fact that sitting isn't as comfortable as driving a wheelchair, it's pretty much the same as driving one, with the same whistling wind blowing in your face.

Riding his electric scooter out of the residential area and onto the road, night had just fallen and the streetlights were just coming on. The night breeze blew on his face, causing the bow tie on his shirt collar to sway slightly. Nie Xi liked this feeling.

Even behind the glasses, the eyes couldn't help but squint.

"Dangdang!"

Just as he reached an intersection, someone threw a brick on the ground. He didn't notice, and his wheel was hit. He was driving fast, and the incident happened suddenly. He calmly adjusted the direction of the car and pressed the brake at the same time.

Then he and the car crashed to the ground.

With a loud crash, the person and the vehicle made intimate contact with the ground, drawing the attention of passersby who all turned to look at the person who had accidentally fallen off their bicycle... a real estate agent?

They look quite alike based on their clothes.

But these days, of course no one will lend a hand, not even young people.

Nie Xi didn't care. He got up from the ground, his face still calm, and picked up his glasses and put them back on.

Aside from some pain in my knees and arms, there were no other injuries. My glasses weren't cracked, and the car was fine, except for a small crack on the side, which doesn't affect its use.

He righted the car, then looked at the tear in his trousers. Just as he was considering whether to go home and change his clothes, his cell phone suddenly rang in his pocket.

Nie Xi took out his phone and answered the call. Before he could speak, Chen Shuo's voice came from the other end, "You said you'd be here half an hour ago, but you're still not here. Where are you? Will you ever get here?"

"...This time it really will be here soon."

"Okay, then hurry up."
