Protagonist:

Lin Xiyu

"My buddy, Liu Ye."

Wang Fan pointed at the boy with the earring using his chin, treating it as an introduction: "The sporting goods store is his family's; there's a large empty space at the doorway, just set up your stall there."

Lin Xiyu smiled awkwardly: "Won't setting up at the doorway interfere with your business?"

"No."

Seeing a beauty, Liu Ye shamelessly curried favor: "The two sisters are so beautiful; it would be the place's honor if you took a fancy to that spot."

"You setting up your stall there is giving him face."

Wang Fan also smiled and said: "The buyers of sporting goods are all burly men; once you two sisters stand there, his little shabby shop will instantly be filled with radiance..."

"So we're bringing him customers for free."

The female cousin, straightforward and unwilling to lose out: "How do we calculate the ~table fee?"

"Pfft."

Liu Ye spat out a mouthful of spit.

"Sister Leilei."

Lin Xiyu blushed: "I misspoke, not table-hosting, but standing-hosting..."

"Aiyo, I've watched too many Hong Kong dramas lately, misspoke."

The female cousin made a slip of the tongue and became a laughingstock, feeling a bit embarrassed herself.

"Sister, you're my sister, right?"

Wang Fan, holding back laughter, fawned and flattered: "Tonight, the two of us brothers will personally step out to be your bodyguards; thank you for gracing us with your presence despite your busy schedule."

"Fine."

The female cousin gave him a look that said you know what's good for you: "Then let's not delay, let's go."

"Got it."

Wang Fan extended his hand, making a gesture of invitation: "After you, you first..."

"This classmate of yours is quite interesting."

The female cousin listened with delight, laugh lines appearing at the corners of her eyes.

"Just now you couldn't stand him."

Lin Xiyu silently rolled her eyes in her heart: "Now he's interesting, he changes faces too fast."

"I think..."

The female cousin found her own reason: "He's not a match for you, but he's more compatible with me; he's not a gentleman, and I'm not a lady—one has money, the other has looks; partnering in business, a strong alliance, surely we'll make a fortune."

Lin Xiyu was speechless: "You really have money on your mind."

"Of course."

The female cousin openly accepted her teasing: "I'm just a vulgar person who wants to make money; though money smells of copper, I like it."

"Don't underestimate that person Wang Fan."

Unable to win against the female cousin, Lin Xiyu kindly reminded: "He grew up handling abacus beads since childhood, full of shrewd calculations, more cunning than a fox; if you cooperate with him, be careful he doesn't screw you over and leave you ruined."

"What's there to fear?"

The female cousin didn't care: "I haven't dated anyone anyway; I can use him for practice."

"You this..."

Lin Xiyu was utterly speechless: "You're not serious, right? You have someone you've liked for a long time, that high school classmate of yours..."

"Shh, keep it down."

The female cousin didn't want to expose her secret, covering her mouth with her hand: "I was just joking; you actually believed it? He's your classmate; I'm not stupid—even if I'm muddleheaded, I wouldn't look for someone younger than me. Do you think I like serving younger brothers?"

"Good that it's not; you scared me to death."

Lin Xiyu patted her overly frightened small heart: "I thought you really would stop at nothing to make money and wanted to seduce him."

"Hehe."

Disharmonious laughter came from behind the two sisters.

"Ah?!"

Lin Xiyu's heart trembled in fright.

"Who is it?"

The female cousin suddenly turned around and scolded in displeasure: "Eavesdropping on others' conversation is detestable."

"Sorry, two beauties."

Wang Fan shrugged his shoulders, feigning innocence: "I didn't want to listen either; you were just chatting too animatedly—I couldn't help but hear."

"Beauty big sister."

Liu Ye, holding back laughter, helped his buddy out: "You want to seduce; can you consider me? I'm one year older than him; we're more compatible. Even if it's just for practice, I accept."

The female cousin, annoyed and embarrassed, gave him a character.

"Scram!"

—

Sporting goods store.

On the empty space at the doorway, the rack was set up; the female cousin hung up her clothes, repeated her old trick, and tried her best to persuade, urging her younger sister to be her model.

Lin Xiyu couldn't wriggle out of it, so she resigned herself to picking out a brand-new set of clothes from the rack and went into the dressing room.

When she came out changed, the fresh and elegant young woman in white and blue brightened everyone's eyes.

In this scene, Wang Fan's words were truly proven, making the whole shop shine.

"Wang Fan, you're really not being a good brother."

Liu Ye's eyes lit up: "Such a beautiful girl, keeping her hidden, why not introduce her to us sooner......."

"Don't even think about it."

Wang Fan himself felt sour, venting his anger on him: "She's taken, and that man is someone you can't afford to offend......."

"Who? So awesome?"

Liu Ye refused to believe it: "I don't believe there's anyone on this street I wouldn't dare to offend?"

"Guben."

Wang Fan wanted to see him make a fool of himself, and gleefully dropped the bomb: "His woman, you dare touch her?"

"Pa-da."

Liu Ye was so frightened that the cigarette butt in his mouth fell to the ground.

"What's wrong? Scared silly?"

Wang Fan teased him: "Just now you were so full of yourself, wanting to fight someone one-on-one?"

"Who wants to fight you one-on-one?"

Teasing laughter came from behind them.

"I didn't say that......."

Liu Ye saw who it was and immediately wilted, quickly distancing himself: "It's this brat Wang Fan, deliberately setting me up."

"Get lost."

Wang Fan couldn't stand his cowardly look and kicked him in a bad mood: "With your cowardly look, you dare to covet someone else's girlfriend."

"Brother Bin, believe me, I didn't mean that......."

Liu Ye broke into a cold sweat on his forehead: "Your woman, even if you gave me a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare touch her."

"Alright, don't stand here blocking the way."

Guben impatiently pushed the person away, his gaze fell on the fresh and elegant young woman, his expression changed instantly, the tenderness in his eyes almost overflowing.

"Does it look good?"

Lin Xiyu saw it was him, happily lifted her skirt hem and spun around in front of the mirror.

"It looks good."

Guben walked forward a few steps and pulled her into his arms.

"My female cousin asked me to be her model."

Lin Xiyu was charming and cute, deliberately pouting her cheeks to complain: "I have to change several sets of clothes in one night, my waist is sore and my legs hurt from standing."

"If you're tired, I'll rub it for you......"

Guben leaned down, close to her ear: "Wherever it's sore, rub there, a full body massage is also fine."

"Who wants you to rub......."

Lin Xiyu's ear root burned from his teasing, she shoved him hard and ran out with a flushed face.

"Tsk tsk."

Liu Ye was forced to swallow a mouthful of dog food, his jealousy bubbling out.

"Tsk your fart......"

Wang Fan kicked him away and vented his anger on him again: "Hurry up, bring a few bottles of drinks, it's such a hot day and you talk so much nonsense, aren't you thirsty!"

"You're the thirsty one......"

Liu Ye was a person of influence, sensing something was wrong, he deliberately retorted him in front of Guben: "Between the two of us, who's really coveting someone else's girlfriend is still uncertain."

"You motherf*cker want to die......"

Wang Fan had his worry exposed, became angry from embarrassment, and was about to chase him over to give him a beating.

Guben suddenly flashed sideways and blocked him.

"Wang Fan, let's have a talk......"

—

The sporting goods store was in the middle section of Quancheng Road, the best spot at the night market, young women mostly liked to stroll around here.

Lin Xiyu stood at the doorway in her brand-new clothes, indeed attracting a lot of attention.

People kept gathering around, picking out clothes they liked.

"Ours are authentic Shanghai foreign trade clothing, export turned domestic, in brand stores you can't buy them for 50 yuan, but at the night market, with no stall fees, I dare sell them so cheap......."

"Look at my younger sister, how good the upper body effect is, slimming and flattering, making the skin look whiter, this clothing, 10 yuan a piece, buy with your eyes closed, guaranteed not to lose out......."

The female cousin was so excited, chattering nonstop, making the young ladies and married women all spirited, and sold several pieces in a short while.

The clothes Lin Xiyu was wearing sold out, the female cousin urged her to quickly go change into another set.

"Where did Guben go?"

Lin Xiyu picked out another set of clothes and came to the dressing room, looked around, didn't see Guben and Wang Fan, only Liu Ye was there alone, somewhat absent-minded with a cigarette in his mouth, occasionally glancing toward the back door.

"He and Wang Fan have something to do, went out."

Liu Ye wanted to hide it, didn't tell her the truth.

"Oh."

Lin Xiyu casually agreed, didn't take it to heart: "I'll borrow your dressing room."

"Use it as you like."

Liu Ye deliberately avoided suspicion, shifting his position slightly to the side, moving farther from the Dressing Room.

"Thank you."

Lin Xiyu smiled gratefully, holding her Clothes as she entered the Dressing Room.

"Beautiful women are indeed calamities, calamities......."

Seeing her enter, Liu Ye sighed emotionally and muttered a Sentence, a Cigarette between his lips as he walked toward the Backdoor.

—

The Clothes business was booming, and Uncle selling Cigarettes also benefited.

Male customers browsing in the sporting goods store would mostly step outside to buy Cigarettes and chat with him for a couple of Sentences, and some even openly inquired about the two sisters' family background.

"She's not my daughter, she's my niece."

With too many people asking, Uncle's face darkened somewhat.

He's only 32 years old; does he look that old?

Could he have two daughters that big?!

—

The Clothes sold like crazy; in less than Half an hour, another dozen or so pieces were sold.

The style Lin Xiyu tried on sold out again, and urged by her Sister, she had no choice but to go back to the Dressing Room to change Clothes.

Guben and Wang Fan happened to enter through the Backdoor, both bearing Injuries; seeing her, they panicked somewhat, one covering the bruise at his Mouth corner, the other shielding the black around his Eye socket, their perfectly synchronized movements inexplicably seeming rather funny.

"What happened to you two?"

Lin Xiyu's eyes widened suddenly, and a horrifying thought involuntarily surfaced in her Brain: "They didn't fight, did they?"

"No."

The two denied it in unison.

"You didn't fight?"

Lin Xiyu didn't believe it, eyeing them doubtfully: "Where did your Injuries come from?"

"From falling."

The two answered simultaneously again.

"Can falling break your Mouth?"

Lin Xiyu narrowed her eyes, glared at Guben, then questioned Wang Fan with great displeasure: "And you, where did you fall? Can you fall and get a black Eye socket?"

"We accidentally bumped into each other."

"His Eye socket hit my Mouth."

Truly childhood friends, having grown up wearing the same pair of Pants, their minds were in sync, and their lies were told with remarkable tacit understanding.

"You two can just spout nonsense."

Lin Xiyu was so angry she was Speechless, not wanting to deal with them anymore, holding her Clothes as she walked toward the Dressing Room.

"Hiss."

Seeing her enter, Wang Fan's expression changed instantly, clutching his Stomach in pain, gasping sharply.

"Hurting this badly, do you want to go to the Hospital?"

Liu Ye stifled his Smile, pretending to be very concerned, asking after his warmth and cold.

"This scoundrel Guben, his hand is too ruthless."

Wang Fan rubbed his lower Abdomen, complaining resentfully.

"Who told you to harbor ulterior motives."

Liu Ye, loving the drama and not afraid of making a big deal of it, stuck another Knife into his chest.

"Damn, it's all because you, Elder Brother, instigated it......."

Wang Fan, choked with anger, seized the opportunity to hook his Neck while he was off guard.

"Brother, I was wrong, spare me......"

Liu Ye was choked by him until his Breath was uneven, begging for mercy nonstop.

"Swish......"

Lin Xiyu pulled open the Curtain of the Dressing Room, came out with a displeased expression.

Wang Fan was so frightened his heart skipped a beat, quickly letting go of the person.

Lin Xiyu didn't want to deal with them, walking past the two without looking sideways.

"Need help?"

Guben forced a Smile and came over.

"No need."

Lin Xiyu didn't give him a good face either: "I don't want people to misunderstand me as a shrew......"

"Cough cough."

Guben instantly understood her meaning, the corners of his Mouth twitching a few times, rarely showing some Embarrassment.

"What does she mean?"

Liu Ye didn't understand, looking completely bewildered.

"Idiot!"

Wang Fan pushed him away with Dislike: "You don't even understand this, don't say you're my buddy in the future."

"What exactly does it mean?"

Liu Ye wanted to curse in Depression: "Can't you just say it directly? Bullying me for being poorly educated, can't understand."

"She means......"

Wang Fan didn't want to hear him nag, and explained impatiently: "I don't want others to misunderstand, Guben's mouth injury was healed by her......"

"Pfft!"

"Hahahahaha......"

Liu Ye spat out a mouthful of spit, nearly laughing his mouth crooked.

—

Outside the shop, the flow of customers was unceasing; the barbecue stall's boss lady brought a woman of similar age, squeezing in from outside the crowd.

"Are you two sisters selling here today? You made me look hard for you; I thought you weren't coming."

"Boss lady is you......"

The female cousin, seeing it was her, smiled much more sincerely: "How was the class reunion? Did our clothes give you face? Did anyone praise you for looking young, more beautiful than an unmarried eldest daughter?"

"Listen to you, listen to you......"

The boss lady laughed and teased her best friend: "This girl's clever mouth could talk a dead person back to life."

"Your clothes were bought from her place?"

The woman who came with her couldn't help but let her gaze fall on Lin Xiyu, her sight attracted by the new set of clothes Lin Xiyu had changed into.

"Yes, bought from her place......"

The boss lady helped the two sisters promote: "If you like it, let her younger sister pick a set for you; her younger sister has a good eye, and what she picks is sure to be suitable."

"I just want the set she's wearing."

Her best friend Hu Jing stared at Lin Xiyu without blinking, the more she looked, the brighter her eyes became.

"There are new ones of this set; I'll get one for you......"

The female cousin, seeing business had come, beamed with joy.

"There are a few sets."

Hu Jing asked impatiently.

The female cousin hesitated a bit: "A few sets is hard to say; I have to look for them."

"Three sets."

Lin Xiyu reacted faster than her: "I took five portions of every style and color of clothes; someone bought one set just now, and besides the one I'm wearing, there are still three sets."
