Chapter 452

Sang Hui?

"Does anyone here know her?" Guo Yu turned back and asked the friends behind him.

Several people shook their heads one after another. School had only just started; they hadn't even recognized all the girls in their own class, so how could they possibly know someone from another class?

"You only know the name?" Guo Yu asked Tan Yong again.

Tan Yong nodded honestly and explained: "Shen Xing has only seen that girl two or three times. He doesn't know which department or class she's in, and I know even less."

Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Guo Yu didn't make things difficult for him. He gently patted his collar and said with a smile: "Alright, this news is good. The camera is yours."

"Guo Yu, what do you want to do? You aren't going to hurt anyone, are you..."

"That's none of your business. Your task is to keep an eye on Shen Xing. Remember to tell me if there's any more good news in the future. I won't treat you badly."

Tan Yong felt both uneasy and guilty, mixed with a trace of hidden excitement.

Because Guo Yu kept his word and really gave him a brand-new camera.

There was no one in the dorm, so Tan Yong opened the packaging and couldn't wait to fiddle with it according to the manual.

As a result, Shen Xing and Wen Hao returned after he had only been fiddling with it for a few minutes.

Tan Yong's bed was near the door. The two pushed the door open and saw the camera in Tan Yong's arms at a glance. Tan Yong didn't have time to make any extra reaction and was discovered just like that.

"Eh? Yongzi, where did you get the camera?" Wen Hao didn't think much of it and just walked over with a look of surprise.

He scanned the area and saw the packaging still to the side, making him even more shocked: "It's new?"

Shen Xing also walked over, looking confused, because they all knew Tan Yong's family situation; he didn't have any extra spare money to buy a camera.

Tan Yong smiled and said casually: "Borrowed it."

"Borrowed?" Wen Hao instinctively looked at Shen Xing and then back at Tan Yong: "Who did you borrow it from? And it's brand new!"

"Borrowed it from a classmate." As if he had already thought of an excuse, Tan Yong explained without blushing or skipping a beat.

Shen Xing finally spoke: "I have one here; why borrow from someone else? This is brand new, what if it gets bumped or scratched?"

Wen Hao also nodded: "Exactly. Didn't Xingxing borrow one for you last time too?"

"It's fine, my classmate said I could use it whenever." Tan Yong looked at Shen Xing, feeling guilty inside, but said: "Your camera was a gift from your sister; I'd be afraid of breaking that one."

"That's nothing. The camera isn't made of paper; it won't break that easily just by hanging it around your neck."

Wen Hao muttered to the side: "I really don't know what's going on in your head. You have to be careful using this brand-new one."

Tan Yong smiled slightly awkwardly and didn't continue the conversation.

A small item was suddenly thrown at him. Tan Yong caught it instinctively. Before he could look at it carefully, he heard Wen Hao say: "Sunscreen. Military training starts tomorrow. Xingxing bought one for each of us; otherwise, it'll hurt if you get sunburned."

Tan Yong looked at Shen Xing, his mouth moving as he said "Thank you."

Shen Xing smiled generously and just said "You're welcome."

That evening, the sky, which had been stuffy for a long time, finally rained.

On the dormitory balcony, Shen Ci and Pili squeezed together to look downstairs.

At the entrance of the women's dormitory, a boy stood there holding an umbrella, carrying milk tea and butter rice cakes he had just bought. Before long, they saw Lianxing running out of the building.

The boy's appearance was hidden by the umbrella, but Shen Ci and Pili were no strangers to him.

The handsome coach from the go-kart club. However, the two only had a half-understanding of this coach. Other than knowing he really had something going for him in terms of looks, they knew nothing else.

"Are they dating now?"

Pili muttered in confusion.

Shen Ci shook her head gently to indicate she didn't know, but Lianxing was indeed not ordinary toward this coach. Now that he had come to the dormitory downstairs in the rain to deliver things, even if they weren't dating, they probably weren't far from it.

After all, girls are emotional creatures, and such actions from the other party would definitely move her.

"Tsk." Pili pouted and said, unable to bear watching: "So cheesy. It's raining; what's there to talk about?"

Shen Ci couldn't help but laugh: "They aren't hugging or kissing; can't they even say a few words?"

"If they were really hugging or kissing, I wouldn't say anything. It's just like this that's cheesy." Pili said, closing the window with a bang.

Shen Ci was still stretching her neck, anxious: "Why? I haven't finished watching!"

"Stop watching, I have something serious to tell you."

Pili pulled Shen Ci back into the room and pulled over a chair to sit down. Shen Ci blinked at her in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"Didn't you say you were optimistic about Yangming District earlier? I... I bought a house in Yangming District!"

Shen Ci was startled: "You move fast. You've already bought it?"

Pili nodded: "Yes, the previous owner's family is immigrating abroad. The house is a large flat, and they were in a hurry to sell. I checked the price, and it's quite a bit lower than others in the same neighborhood. The previous owner required full payment, and I just happened to have the money on hand, so I consider it a bargain I picked up."

A large flat in Yangming District—at the current price, no matter how expensive it was, it wouldn't be too bad.

Shen Ci nodded, expressing sincere admiration for Pili's decisive style: "It has to be you. You have courage; timid people can't get rich."

"So it really has potential, right?" Pili pressed.

Shen Ci didn't play around with her this time and nodded affirmatively: "I firmly believe so, because I've poured a lot of money into Yangming District."

She wasn't soft-hearted either. Even though her monthly pension alone converted to hundreds of millions in income, who could resist the urge to make money with money?

"Then should I invest a bit more?" Pili's appetite was whetted by Shen Ci.

"Increasing your stake in moderation is fine, but leave yourself some room."

Investment carries risks, and nothing is absolute. Increasing investment in projects with high certainty is the norm, but any investment should leave room for yourself, because nothing is 100% guaranteed to win.

This is a matter of probability.

As they were talking, Lianxing pushed the door open and entered. Her little face was flushed and shy; it was clear her heart was racing.

"Babies, time for milk tea!"

"There's a portion for us too? This little coach is very understanding!" Shen Ci raised an eyebrow and teased.

Lianxing smiled shyly and took out the milk tea for them to pick first, along with the butter rice cakes that had been very popular recently. Lianxing had been talking about them for several days, and she didn't expect this boy to have actually bought them and sent them over.

"Lianxing, are you two dating?" Pili asked bluntly as soon as she opened her mouth.

Shen Ci looked over, and saw Lianxing's bashful expression, then she muttered in a low voice: "I originally wanted to observe a bit more, but he came all the way from the club to deliver milk tea and food to me today, and it was raining. I think that adds quite a few points."

Shen Ci blinked, thinking to herself that Jiang Lingchuan didn't know how many times he had done such things.

As a result, someone else did it once and moved this young lady. Where is the logic in that?
