Chapter 195 - 195: Just Because I Don’t Have a License Doesn’t Mean I Can’t Drive
Chen Che did not answer. The boss pointed behind him. There was a guitar.
The people here were good at singing and dancing. Musical instruments and ethnic clothes could be seen everywhere.
“I’ll go take a look.” Lin Xi went over.
As she watched, Lin Xi muttered, “He knows how to play the piano. He doesn’t know how to play the guitar.”
“Choose it. It’s for you.” Chen Che went forward.
Chen Che gestured to one of them. “This is for performing solo, and that’s for the rhythm.”
“Is there a difference?” Lin Xi turned around.
Chen Che was puzzled. “You can’t tell the difference between classical and folk guitar?”
“Ah,” Lin Xi muttered. “Anyway…”
Chen Che looked at Lin Xi with flickering eyes. “The information says that you’ve studied music and dance since you were young. You’re proficient in piano and guitar and are even a talent in the Shanghai Drama Academy. Could it be fake? You can’t even distinguish between classical and folk guitar?”
Chen Che tilted his head and pondered. “Is it an elective? That’s not right. You’ve been learning from your father since you were young. Could it be that you were flirting with your boyfriend in class and didn’t listen well?”
“Can you stop guessing?” Lin Xi said angrily. “I just can’t remember at the moment, can’t you?”
“Alright, then choose.” Chen Che nodded.
Lin Xi chose a folk guitar and asked the boss for the price.
This guitar was a little expensive. It was more than $600, and it was not a branded guitar.
But the quality looked good.
“Boss, here you go.” Chen Che paid.
“Are you really giving it to me?” Lin Xi asked with a smile.
Chen Che looked at Lin Xi. “Isn’t it good to give her a guitar?”
“Heh.” Lin Xi smiled and did not answer.
“However, you have to carry it.” Chen Che took the change and handed the guitar to Lin Xi.
“Does this make you feel like an artistic young woman?” Lin Xi carried the guitar and shook her hair.
Chen Che sized her up seriously and took the guitar off her back. “1’11 let you dance.”
Lin Xi glared at him and hit him hard.
“Carry it, then.” And with that, she ran off, smiling over her shoulder as she went.
Chen Che was speechless and left with the guitar.
There were actually shops selling clothes along the way.
However, most of them were ethnic clothes.
“You just look like a ethnic minority.” Looking at Lin Xi’s interested gaze, Chen Che could not help but laugh. “You don’t have to wear ethnic minority clothes, right?”
Lin Xi retracted her gaze and turned her attention to the normal clothes.
The streets here were a little simple. If it was a tourist shopping trip, it was worth a visit.
However, Chen Che still had to see the filming locations mentioned by the director previously, so he naturally would not stay for long.
The two of them were walking in the direction of the car when something went wrong.
“Give me the keys!”
Chen Che said softly. Lin Xi was stunned and subconsciously handed over her car keys. Chen Che took them.
“Comrade.” A traffic policeman appeared beside their car. Chen Che felt that the situation was not good.
This was probably a parking violation.
Chen Che instinctively took the car keys, not wanting Lin Xi to be involved in trouble.
If it was really exposed, this matter could be big or small.
But this time, she was with him again.
“Hello.” The traffic officer saluted and pointed at the car. “You can’t park here.”
“I’ll drive away immediately,” Chen Che quickly replied.
The traffic police sized up Chen Che. He was handsome and gave a good impression.
Coupled with his sincere attitude, as a tourist, the traffic police were not too harsh.
He waved his hand and stood aside.
Chen Che subconsciously stepped into the car and suddenly remembered: Isn’t the reason why 1 don’t drive because I don’t have a driver’s license?
Driving without a license is more of a problem than parking violations.
Lin Xi also reacted and was about to take back the key.
“What’s going on?”
The traffic police were not easy to fool. Although they could not tell who the masked Lin Xi was, it was obvious that the two of them were familiar with each other.
“Which one of you drove the car?” the traffic policeman asked.
Chen Che thought that he could not let Lin Xi get involved. After all, with her popularity, once this kind of thing was hyped up, it could be big or small. It might even be out of context by the media.
“1! 1 drove it,” Chen Che said calmly.
“Get in,” Chen Che said to Lin Xi.
Lin Xi hesitantly sat in the front passenger seat. The traffic police seemed to have sensed that something was wrong and kept staring at them.
Chen Che went all out.
Lin Xi actually opened her mouth to remind him, “Plug in the key first and activate… Oh.”
As she spoke, she widened her eyes in surprise as she watched Chen Che insert the key, start the car, reverse the car, and drive away skillfully.
The traffic policeman looked at them in confusion and left without saying anything.
Chen Che heaved a sigh of relief, slowed the car down, and drove straight into the side road.
This time, he could not check his driver’s license. Driving was not stressful for him. He had just forgotten to bring it with him, not without a driver’s license.
He was focused on driving when he suddenly felt a pair of big eyes staring at him.
Chen Che looked over. Lin Xi had already taken off her mask and was staring at him with a strange expression.
“What are you looking at?” Chen Che asked in confusion as he drove.
The corners of Lin Xi’s lips curled up. She said with a faint smile, “You don’t know how to drive… Huh?”
Chen Che was stunned. “When did I say that I don’t know how to drive?”
Lin Xi widened her eyes. “You still say that you don’t have a driver’s license?!”
Chen Che was confused. “I only said that I didn’t bring it. 1 didn’t say that 1 don’t know how to drive.”
Lin Xi’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “You’re really scheming.”
Chen Che wanted to refute, but he suddenly understood what she meant.
“Sigh.” Chen Che smiled helplessly.
Thinking about it this way, there was indeed a hint of trickery. The more he explained, the more it seemed like he was deliberately fooling her.
Lin Xi glanced at him and continued to look out of the window, ignoring him.
What trick was Lin Xi talking about?
It’s just that you clearly know how to drive, but you said that you don’t know how to drive and asked others to kindly take you out.
If you can actually handle the traffic police, then come to think of it, didn’t you just want to ask them out to play?
How serious was he usually? Other than taking advantage of her on the show, he kept his distance the rest of the time and said that he didn’t want to rely on her to hype up. In the end?
Aren’t all men like this?
“Sigh, what am I…”
Chen Che let out a long sigh and slowly started the car, driving away.
“Then you finally saw through me? Haha!” The corners of Chen Che’s mouth curled up into a bitter smile.
Lin Xi pursed her lips and fiddled with the car window speechlessly. She did not respond.
Chen Che took a deep breath and said seriously, “1 apologize to you. Men are always despicable. I’ve sacrificed so much for you. On the surface, we agreed to be friends, but in reality, how can we be so innocent? This is the so-called… trick.”
Chen Che smiled again. “It’s indeed a little clumsy.”
Lin Xi lowered her head and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. She still did not say a word.
Chen Che’s tone was serious. “Since things have come to this and you’ve seen my true colors, I’m destined to not be able to woo you. Then 1 might as well sell you for a good price. What do you think about sending you to Yunnan Mountain Valley to be a wife?”
Lin Xi nodded and finally looked up at him. “Then it’s best if you can sell the money for a guitar. Don’t lose out on yourself.”
“This…” Chen Che frowned. “I’ll try my best. Let’s see if there’s anyone who knows anything.”
“What?” Lin Xi widened her eyes and looked at him. “I’m not as valuable as a guitar? Is that what you mean?”
“That’s definitely not what I meant.” Chen Che shook his head with a serious expression.
Glancing at the guitar, Chen Che nodded. “At least… we have to add gourd silk.”
“Go to hell!” Lin Xi pushed him.
“Stop fooling around. I’m driving.” Chen Che dodged.
Lin Xi glared at him, then leaned to the side and did not say anything else.
Chen Che continued driving on the road.
And their destination was definitely not the direction back to the hotel.
“Stop here. Stop here for a while,” Lin Xi suddenly said.
Erhai was undoubtedly a famous tourist attraction in the country. It was comparable to West Lake in Hangzhou.
However, at this moment, Chen Che had only been to Hangzhou West Lake. He had only heard of the rest..
