The old man glared angrily.
"You, you..."
Shen Qianqian's attitude remained gentle and polite: "Grandpa, you have one minute to make a decision. I never joke. It's up to you whether you take out 5 yuan or I go to your grandson's school later."
The old man's face grew increasingly grim. Finally, he took out five yuan, threw it on the ground, and left with his schoolbag.
open.
Guangbai picked up the money from the ground, wiped it clean, and put it in his bag.
He let out a heavy snort towards the front.
"That's outrageous! I think he did it on purpose, trying to get our backpacks dirty so we'd pay less. How could anyone do that!"
"Qianqian, you're really something. You managed to drive him away with just a few words."
Shen Qianqian shook her head: "It's simple with this kind of person. If he acts like a scoundrel, then we act like a scoundrel too. Let's see who's more of a scoundrel."
"But don't be so impulsive next time. If we really make a move, and he's lying on the ground, we'll probably lose everything we made today. Even if we're not wrong, we'll be wrong. Don't underestimate human nature. A bad person is still a bad person when they get old."
Guang Bai deeply agreed and nodded.
"My brother always says I'm too impulsive. I used to not take it seriously, but now I've learned my lesson."
"
Seeing that there were still more than a dozen schoolbags left, Shen Qianqian asked Guangbai if it would be alright for him to watch over them by himself.
"Sure, it's just minding the stall. I'm a year older than you!"
Shen Qianqian left with peace of mind.
She had just seen a few girls carrying books looking at their backpacks, and casually asked them a question, only to find out that there was a bookstore ahead.
It's nearby, so I can go check it out.
Having been here for over a month without reading a single book, Shen Qianqian felt a little guilty.
Her results were in, and Principal Song called her to tell her that she was number one, the number one in the entire Nanxian County. The school, the commune, and even Nanxian County had prepared a bonus for her, just waiting for her to come to the school to collect it.
The capital city truly lives up to its name; even the bookstores are decorated exceptionally beautifully. I briefly browsed the book stalls and visited the small bookstores in Nanxian County, which were at most one-tenth the size of this Xinhua Bookstore in the capital.
Shen Qianqian walked in and asked the bookstore staff if they had any practice books or test papers for senior high school students. The staff member immediately understood.
"This is our bookstore's secondhand book corner. Many of the books here are newly arrived, and some were even sold after the college entrance examination. You're lucky; they haven't been taken away yet."
Shen Qianqian also felt lucky.
Look what she saw.
It's a test paper!
The paper was covered with dense writing, indicating that the student's grades were generally average. Although the paper was filled with writing, the student's accuracy rate was average. Fortunately, the specific questions were still legible, and the student even clearly wrote down the corrected answers next to the paper.
What a good student, what a good child.
Finding questions at this time is really difficult, but Shen Qianqian decisively took this test paper.
I'll have to ask Shen Jia later, but this cheapskate father of mine is only thinking about work.
If you ask directly, the other party might verbally agree, but then forget about it immediately.
Hmm, but you could try asking Aunt Wu!
She's a high school teacher!
...
"Excuse me, ma'am, I saw this book first. If you'd like to read it, you can wait until next time."
"Comrade, we can read together. I read very quickly, and I can give it to you when I'm done."
Which company do you work for?
"I don't really like this way of reading. I borrowed this book first, ma'am. You have to wait in line. Cutting in line is impolite."
"...You, how can you have no manners at all?!"
As Shen Qianqian walked into the classic literature section, she heard a familiar voice.
His particularly sarcastic speaking style immediately brought to mind a handsome face.
No way?
Is it really such a coincidence?
She peeked out from the bookshelf and saw a girl slam down a book and leave, while a man with upright posture hesitated for a moment before picking up the book.
"...Why are you still angry?"
Guan Ciying was puzzled.
He turned his head and saw a pair of large, expressive eyes staring at him. He was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward with surprise: "It's you!"
"What a coincidence! What a chance encounter we have here!"
Shen Qianqian hummed in agreement.
This person is handsome, but his emotional intelligence is negative.
The girl clearly wanted to ask him out, but he didn't realize it at all.
Shen Qianqian took a few books, but they were immediately taken by the man next to her.
"...What are you doing with my book?"
Guan Ciying smiled slightly, revealing her white teeth: "Serving ladies is what a gentleman should do."
gentleman?!
"You've misunderstood yourself too much..." Shen Qianqian swallowed the retort. "Thank you, I appreciate your help."
Guan Ciying shook her head repeatedly: "It's no trouble at all. You saved me once at the train station before. This is what I should do."
"What's your name? My surname is Guan, and my name is Guan Ciying."
"You said last time that you would tell me your name when we meet again." Shen Qianqian was getting annoyed with him.
Wasn't this guy quite aloof before? How come he's such a chatterbox now? "Shh, let's talk outside later, this is a bookstore."
Her slender fingers lightly touched her lips, and the girl's eyebrows furrowed slightly, making her look a little unhappy.
Guan Ciying was taken aback by this scene, her fair face inexplicably flushed, and she gave a soft "hmm".
Shen Qianqian took a second look.
66.....99
Why are you being so shy? You're quite handsome with your face all red.
When it came time to pay the bill, Guan Ciying wanted to pay, but Shen Qianqian gave her a look that stopped her in her tracks.
