"Show-off!"
Guben couldn't stand his show-off look and kicked him from behind.
"Jealous!"
Wang Fan patted the footprint off his pants and kept provoking: "You're just jealous, you can't stand Brother shining in front of a beauty."
"Where's the beauty?"
Guben gave him a disdainful glance.
"Study Committee Member, he says you're not a beauty."
Wang Fan seized the opportunity and quickly put him in his place.
"In his eyes, I definitely am not a beauty anymore."
Lin Xiyu inexplicably felt a surge of discomfort: "Who can compare to Zhang Xiaoqian? She plays the violin, is beautiful, and her family is rich; even the Class Teacher joked that she and someone are a golden boy and jade girl, a match made in heaven."
"Where's the vinegar smell? So sour."
Guben huffed, smiling meaningfully.
"Who's sour? It's simply the truth."
Lin Xiyu's ears turned red, and she glared at him, thinking she looked fierce.
Her shy and annoyed little look truly had no threat at all.
Guben looked at her teasingly and let out a pleasant laugh from his throat.

Donghua Street No. 9.
The Program Group left, and the yard grew quiet. Aunt Da and Da Yifu, taking advantage of no outsiders being present, came to the Noodle Workshop to discuss buying a house with Wang Daye and his son.
"Zhang Director of the Neighborhood Committee said that Yan Hao kid is really not a decent person; he insists on a price of two hundred thousand, and no amount of persuasion will make him budge."
Wang Daye sighed: "Two hundred thousand is no small sum; just our three families simply cannot afford to buy it."
"And the relocation housing are all residential buildings; it's inconvenient for us to run small businesses. Even if we move back, we'd have to find another shop."
Wang Daye's son looked apologetic: "So I discussed it with my dad. Since relocation is hopeless, there's no need to haggle with him anymore. It's better to rely on ourselves than to beg others. Rather than looking at his face, we should use this time to look around more, find a suitable house. As long as the price is right, we'll accept even if it's a bit far."
Aunt Da's expression changed, barely concealing her anxiety: "If your family doesn't buy, then just our family and Dashan's two families have even less hope."
"Don't rush..."
Da Yifu patted Aunt Da's shoulder to comfort her: "Da Fen's partner isn't from the Provincial Government, is he? Maybe he has a way to punish Yan Hao and make him less arrogant."
"Sigh."
Aunt Da was not happy but worried, even more depressed: "It was fine before, but a few days ago I had a falling out with Da Fen. Now asking her for help, I really can't bring myself to lower my face..."
"Buying and selling is free."
Wang Daye had no hope: "Even if her partner is from the Provincial Government, they can't use power to oppress others or force a sale; that's illegal."
"We definitely can't do illegal things."
The words had barely fallen when the door of the Noodle Workshop was pushed open from outside, and Zhang Dafen's partner happened to enter the courtyard at this moment, appearing before the two families: "But, their asking price is too high, it has already disrupted market order, and the Demolition Office won't agree to give them such high compensation."
"Oh my, Brother Zheng, you're here."
Da Yifu's eyes lit up, and he welcomed him with a smiling face.
Zhang Dafen's partner Xu Wei, thirty-two years old this year, works in a Provincial Government Department and is a Section Chief.
Although Da Yifu was already forty-four years old, older than him by a decade, since he had a request, he still showed the due respect.
"Brother Liu, rest assured, I'll take care of this matter."
Unexpectedly, Xu Wei was also very polite to him, completely different from a few days ago: "That Yan Hao kid is taking the opportunity to get revenge, opening his mouth like a lion and asking for an outrageous price. He can forget it. I've already asked clearly: this time for the relocation, the Municipal Government has clearly stipulated a subsidy of 600 per square meter. Huang Daye's house, including the yard, is only about 210 square meters, at most 130,000. The three of us families splitting the cost still have hope of buying it."
