Chapter 38

  He Shou Si was also preparing for the upgrade of the high school department, and like Yuan Zhi, there was no pressure, eating and playing, and it passed.

  It's summer vacation again soon, Chen Jiayin is preparing to set up a stall to make money, He Sheng is ready to help her with it, and the other two young men will naturally lend a hand.

  Went to the small commodity wholesale market and bought some little things for girls to play with. At night, they went to the Sanbei West Street night market to set up a stall. They were newcomers, so all the good locations had been taken by others, and they could only squeeze into a corner to set up their stand.

  Chen Jiayin smiled and said, "Never mind, let's put it aside for now, things will get better eventually."

  He Sheng and she sat side by side on a small bench nodding.

  Yuan Zhi was indifferent and could sit for a long time in a daze by himself. However, He Shou Si was different and couldn't stay still for even a few minutes, jumping around restlessly before dragging Yuan Zhi to the nearby internet cafe to kill some time.

  Business was very dull, for several days in a row, there wasn't even anyone stopping to take a look, it didn't seem like a good way to do things. In the end, they went online again, the internet had many novel things, they picked out those unusual items that people don't often see to sell, and business gradually started to pick up.

  There are outsiders preparing to go home, they just changed shifts now, and the stalls are also much more eye-catching.

  Chen Jiayin bought a drink and handed it to He Sheng, sitting down beside her. She tilted her head back and took a few gulps, the refreshing coolness instantly relieving some of the parching heat.

  She wiped the sweat from her face with her sleeve, and smiled: "Recently, I've been able to earn dozens of yuan every night. Although it's not a lot, I'm satisfied. Later, I'll think about what else I can sell. By the time I go to university, I should have enough tuition fees."

  He Shuang was sipping water with a small mouth, smiling with curved eyebrows and eyes, also happy for her, "After entering university, she can be a tutor for others, and even if she doesn't set up a stall, she can have more income."

  "Right!" Chen Jiayin clapped her hands and excitedly said: "Work a bit harder to get a scholarship, then you'll have even more money, haha!"

  Two people were happily fantasizing about their future good life, when two people came walking over from a distance, pulling and tugging at each other. The man was tall and big, wearing sports attire, and to them, he was not unfamiliar - Gu Wei.

  They would occasionally run into each other at school, but didn't have much interaction. He and Yuan Zhi also never fought again after that time.

  Chen Jiayin whispered, "Hey, who's that person next to him? Isn't he from our school?"

  Wearing a blue cotton skirt, her long hair was soft and scattered behind her head, and even at this distance, it could be seen that she was a beautiful girl.

  He Sheng nodded, "Mm, it's not our school."

  Gu Wei was standing in front of the girl, laughing and talking to her, while she responded with a look of annoyance on her face. The two gradually moved closer to He Shuang's direction, and as they got nearer, it became possible to faintly hear some of their conversation. It turned out that Gu Wei had been asking her to watch a movie together.

  Chen Jiayin snorted and said disdainfully, "All day long, forcing girls, obviously looking not bad, why always doing some despicable things?"

  He Sheng didn't say a word, he just lowered his head and deeply buried himself in the shadows, preparing to turn around and go to the bathroom to avoid him.

  But someone was one step ahead of her, the blue-clothed girl looked at her with a puzzled expression for a few moments before suddenly becoming excited and rushing over. Under Chen Jiaoyan's stunned gaze, she grabbed He Sheng's hand and exclaimed: "Is it really you? What are you doing here?"

  He Sheng stiffened for a moment, stopped running, and forcefully pulled back his fingers to point at the ground.

  Yuan Yunshu followed her finger and looked at it, nodded suddenly and strangely, "Ah, you're selling things, how's business?"

  "It's okay."

  Yuan Shuyun looked around in all directions, her eyes flashing with a hesitant expression.

  Gu Wei also walked up to them at this time, his eyes scanning the few people with different expressions, finally settling on He Shuang's body, smiling meaningfully, "It's you again, little girl!"

  He Sheng lowered his head and pinched the small fish pendant, not saying a word. Yuan Shuyun looked up at him and rarely took the initiative to speak: "Do you know He Sheng?"

  "It's not like we're familiar, just from the same school!" Gu Wei squatted down beside her, looking at He Song who was burying his head and pretending to be mute across from them. "What about that kid? Weren't you inseparable with Yuan?"

  Yuan Shu Yun stood up straight and smiled as she took over the conversation: "That's right, weren't you with my brother today?"

  Everyone was stunned by this remark. When did Yuan Zhi have an extra sister? I've never heard of it before!

  Chen Jiayin bumped into He Sheng's silent figure and whispered, "What's going on with this?"

  She also whispered back: "Can't say clearly."

  Moreover, she estimated that Yuan Zhi would not want others to know that he had a half-sister.

  Gu Wei turned his head to look at Yuan Shuyun, still with a surprised expression on his face. "You're Yuan Zhi's sister? How is that possible?"

  "How can it be impossible? Don't you know I'm also surnamed Yuan?" Yuan Shuyun raised her chin high, like a proud little swan. "You'd better not call us people with the surname Yuan again, we didn't offend you."

  Gu Wei raised an eyebrow and smiled: "Alright, I'll go along with you."

  The two of them chatted as if no one else was around, while He Song had a worried expression and didn't know what to do.

  Yuan Shuyun came back to her senses and asked her again about Yuan Zhi's whereabouts. He Sheng lied, "He's at home, he didn't go out today."

  "Really!" Yuan Shuyun was visibly disappointed.

  The wind started to pick up, and the air wasn't as stiflingly hot as it was earlier. Pedestrians out for a stroll gradually increased in number, and they avoided the noisy vendors in front of the door gods. Those who had intended to come take a look also changed their minds and walked away. He Sheng began to worry about how to get rid of them.

  Yuan Shuyun suddenly said with a burst of enthusiasm: "I'm inviting you to watch a movie?" She glanced at the time, "It's still more than two hours before closing up shop? The movie will be over and I'll send you back."

  He Sheng hastily shook his head, "No, I'll take care of the bill."

  She pointed at Chen Jiayin and said, "Let your friend help you watch for a while!"

  Chen Jiayin smiled and said: "Sorry about that, I have something to attend to later so I'll be leaving soon."

  Yuan Shuyun looked at the small bag tied around her waist for receiving money and clearly didn't believe it.

  Gu Wei stood up and pulled Yuan Shuyun, who was unwilling to get up, to her feet. Without giving her a chance to refuse, he said to He Song: "Hey, I'm not going to sell you out again. Going to watch a movie is no big deal. Tell me, how much can you guys make in a day? At worst, I'll just give you the money and consider it as if you were running a stall."

  This remark sounds somewhat unpleasant and is similar to shooing away a beggar.

  Chen Jiayun's face fell, and He Song also furrowed his brow. "I said I'm not going, you guys go ahead. We have business to attend to."

  After finishing speaking, she went to tidy up the already neat things on her stall, making it clear that she didn't want to bother with them anymore.

  Gu Wei narrowed his eyes and suddenly leaned in close to He Song, using a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Aren't you afraid I'll continue to cause trouble for Yuan Zhi?"

  He Xiang's movements paused, and he looked at him sideways, his voice still carrying a low softness, "Aren't you afraid I'll tell Yuan Shu Yun that you and Yuan Zhi are sworn enemies?"

  Gu Wei's mouth curled up at the corner, "In that case, I can only guarantee that it won't just be Yuan Zhi who encounters trouble every day, but also you."

  These words were spoken in just a few seconds, and soon the other person slowly stood up again, with a confident smile on his face. "Let's go together, I'll send you back as soon as the movie is over."

  Chen Jiayin looked at He Sheng with concern, "What did he say to you?"

  He Sheng shook his head and remained silent, looking sulky.

  Yuan Shu Yun furrowed her brow, looking at them anxiously for a few moments before suddenly shouting at Gu Wei: "What's wrong with you? Who gave you the right to force her? If she doesn't want to go, then don't make her! What did you say to her?"

  The excessively loud volume suddenly drew attention from passersby. Gu Wei's smile froze, "Isn't it what you hoped for her to go with you?"

  "That's none of your business!"

  Gu Wei's face turned even darker, he was also a proud person by nature. What would happen in the future was unknown, but for now, he really had an interest in Yuan Shuyun, otherwise, who would be so humble and flattering to this Miss!

  As the situation was getting more and more serious, He Sheng patted his knee and stood up from the small stool, saying in a light tone, "Stop arguing, let's go!"

  Chen Jiayin looked at her in shock and growled: "Are you crazy?"

  "It's okay." He Song smiled and winked at her, "I'll definitely be back on time."

  Yuan Shu Yun hesitated and looked at her, as if afraid of her getting angry, "If you really don't want to go, it's okay."

  He Sheng glanced at Gu Wei and shook his head, "Let's go!"

  It's rare to see a thunderstorm, thank you for the treat, it was a pleasure reading!
