Chapter 531: Why don't you touch it?

As soon as Sang Hui got out of the car, she was called back by Guo Yu from behind. She turned around and looked at him, puzzled.

Guo Yu curled his lips into a rogue smile and said smugly: "Shouldn't you praise me?"

Hearing this, Sang Hui furrowed her brows and asked in return: "Praise what?"

"I used to force things on you when I gave them to you, but this time I didn't force you at all. How can you not call that progress?"

Hearing Guo Yu say this, Sang Hui couldn't help but laugh and retorted: "This is the most basic respect between people. Forcing others is wrong to begin with."

"Then I've learned to respect you now, how is that not progress?"

Sang Hui: "..."

Seeing her speechless expression, the smile on Guo Yu's face grew wider, and he said quickly: "I'm joking with you. Actually, I just wanted you to praise me. I know I had many flaws you looked down on before, and I will try to correct them in the future."

He was originally a rebellious and self-centered character, which Sang Hui had felt long ago, but his sudden seriousness now left Sang Hui stunned.

After a long while, she nodded gently, her tone subconsciously softening: "Then I'll go back to school."

"Bye-bye."

After Sang Hui left, Guo Yu leaned his body slightly against the back of the chair and suddenly let out a soft snort.

The next second, his phone rang. He picked it up and saw it was from Tan Yong.

"New intelligence, want it?"

Guo Yu raised his eyebrows as he looked at the message, curled his lips into a cold smile, and replied: "What intelligence?"

"I think it's very critical intelligence. This time I'm raising the price."

"Idiot, are you trying to manipulate me?" Guo Yu spat, then replied: "I don't care what you think; I care what I think. Tell me, if it's useful, I naturally won't treat you poorly."

On the other end of the phone, Tan Yong was hiding in the restroom, hesitating as he looked at Guo Yu's message.

But thinking about how Guo Yu hadn't broken his word the previous few times, he finally chose to believe him. After all, a rich kid like him didn't lack money at all.

So he told Guo Yu that Sang Hui was having a birthday at the end of the month and that Shen Xing wanted to create a surprise for her in advance and confess.

Birthday?

Seeing this intelligence, Guo Yu subconsciously blinked. He really didn't know Sang Hui's birthday was this month.

Most importantly, Shen Xing's move—creating a surprise in advance and confessing?

Heh, interesting.

Then your plan might just be ruined, oh.

"It is indeed useful news. Tell me, how much do you want?"

Tan Yong nervously typed "ten yuan" in the input box, hesitated, deleted it, and then struggled for a long time before his fingers trembled as he typed "fifteen."

Seeing this number, Guo Yu himself was shocked and replied while cursing: "Damn, do you really take me for a sucker?"

And Tan Yong had his own excuse: "The camera you gave me the first time was about this price, right? I think this news is more useful than that one."

Guo Yu's teeth itched as he typed quickly: "The first time was to buy people's hearts, understand? If I don't spend some money, how can I make you obediently submit? You really dare to raise the price on the spot? You're just a petty person consumed by greed, not even fit to see the light. I have money, but I'm not stupid. I'll give you five yuan for this news, no more!"

Guo Yu was indeed not stupid; how could someone who could get into Longda be stupid?

Looking at the words "five yuan," how could Tan Yong be reconciled? Because whether Shen Xing and Sang Hui succeeded or not would probably be decided soon, and this might be the last time he could pass news to Guo Yu. He had to get a big one.

And he needed this money; he had a use for it.

"Ten yuan. If you don't agree, I will..."

He didn't say the rest, but it was clearly a threat to Guo Yu.

Guo Yu's eyes widened, his scalp tightening with anger.

He naturally didn't lack these five yuan, but being manipulated in reverse by a petty person like Tan Yong felt extremely disgusting.

Who knew that at this moment, a traffic police officer suddenly appeared beside the car: "Hello, parking is limited to five minutes here. You have exceeded the time and violated the rules. Please show your driver's license."

Guo Yu slowly raised his head and sighed in frustration.

Tan Yong waited for a long time without receiving a reply, thinking he had really angered the other party with his lion's share. He was hesitating whether to just settle for five yuan; if Guo Yu really got angry and didn't give a cent, he wouldn't dare to offend Guo Yu.

Just as he was about to give in, Guo Yu's message came, the text revealing a sense of exasperation: "Damn it, I transferred it to your Alipay."

Tan Yong excitedly opened Alipay and saw a deposit of "9.9500" yuan.

Nine yuan and ninety-five cents?

Why was it five cents short?

He took a screenshot and sent it to Guo Yu, puzzled: "Did it deduct a handling fee?"

"I was caught by the traffic police just as I replied to your message, and I was fined five cents!"

Tan Yong: "..."

After Shen Ci and Shi Ye finished eating at the restaurant, Shi Ye glanced at the time, ignored his mother's warning to go home immediately after eating, and looked up at Shen Ci: "A-Ci, what do you want to do in a little while?"

Since it was so hard to have a date alone with Shen Ci, how could just one meal be enough?

Shen Ci wiped her mouth and said: "I want to go to a baby supply store to buy some things for my sister-in-law and my little niece."

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Shen Ci didn't refuse. Originally, making an appointment with Shi Ye today was to give each other a chance to be alone. Although the sudden appearance of Shi Mu was a small interlude, it didn't affect Shi Ye's impression in her heart.

In the mall, the two walked side by side. Shi Ye's arm on Shen Ci's side would lift slightly intentionally or unintentionally from time to time, but he never dared to touch Shen Ci's hand.

Shen Ci glanced at him from the corner of her eye and couldn't help but smile. Then, the next time Shi Ye lifted his arm, she took the initiative to hold it.

With this hold, she discovered that Shi Ye's palms were full of sweat.

Shi Ye froze completely. He stopped, looked down at their joined hands, and the shocked look in his eyes slowly transformed into wild joy: "A-Ci..."

Shen Ci stared straight at him and said: "Do you remember when you first approached me and asked for my WeChat without any concealment?"

Shi Ye nodded.

"Then why have you become so timid now? You don't even dare to hold hands?"

Shi Ye looked embarrassed: "Because I discovered that the more I like you, the more careful I become in my words and actions in front of you. I'm afraid I'll make you feel uncomfortable or leave a bad impression on you."

Shen Ci sighed gently and said to him seriously: "The fact that I'm willing to go on a date with you alone, and even take the initiative to ask you out, shows that I have a good impression of you. I won't waste time on someone I don't have feelings for."

"Really?" Shi Ye's eyes lit up, and a smile bloomed on his handsome face: "You have a good impression of me?"

"Isn't that nonsense?" Shen Ci rolled her eyes speechlessly, then furrowed her brows and asked: "Why are your hands so sweaty? You don't have a kidney deficiency, do you?"

"I was just nervous because I wanted to hold hands; how could it be kidney deficiency? I'm only twenty-two!" Shi Ye said anxiously: "I'm about to have a reaction; why don't you touch it?"

Shen Ci glared at him, scaring Shi Ye into being obedient immediately: "I was just joking." ===== CHAPTER 532 =====
