Section 4

Gu Xiang smiled and said, "I probably have never seen such a price reduction."

Women are always perceptive about such matters. It was only then that Jiang Anqi noticed the shopkeeper and took a closer look at her

Gu Xiang saw a promising business deal about to fall through and hurried to salvage it, "Miss, how about three at eighty? This price is the cheapest anywhere. If you don't believe me, you can ask around elsewhere."

Forget it, Xiao Gu, there will always be business! Sister Li advised from the side

"Forget it, let's not buy it," she said, pulling Zhang Qirui's hand. "Qirui, shall we go?"

Perhaps I am being overly sensitive

Gu Xiang thought he still found it expensive, and immediately said eagerly: "How about rounding it to an even hundred? It can't be any cheaper; if it gets any cheaper, I will incur a loss. You two are guests from out of town, and we are also making friends, aren't we?"

Gu Xiang couldn't help but feel a bit awkward, so she turned to the beautiful woman beside her and said: "Miss, although other stalls also sell this kind of small bag, if you look closely, the craftsmanship of ours is much better than others. It doesn't fade, it doesn't unravel, and the zipper works very well. Look here, it can hold both banknotes and coins, how practical..."

"Do you know this person?" Sister Li leaned over to ask

Gu Xiang thought for a moment and shook her head, "I don't recognize him. With looks this handsome, even if I had seen him before, I wouldn't forget him."

What?" Zhang Qirui seemed to awaken from a dream, finally shifting his gaze away from Gu Xiang.

The community is still lively. The women chatting under the grapevines have not yet dispersed, and the young couples in love are still hiding in the shadows, whispering sweet nothings. The moonlight is so beautiful, the autumn night breeze is cool and refreshing, making it the perfect time for a harmonious gathering under the moon.

Your gaze seems rather peculiar

Zhang Qirui was a bit distracted and was pulled along by his female companion for a few steps. Upon hearing what Sister Li said, he turned back to glance at Gu Xiang. That gaze was filled with confusion and surprise, causing Gu Xiang to pause for a moment. She felt inexplicably puzzled

Jiang Anqi initially had some interest, but upon seeing Zhang Qirui's increasingly unpleasant expression, she wisely shook her head. Money was not an issue; she was just afraid he might think she lacked taste and liked such inferior trinkets, thus losing face in front of others

As Gu Xiang rode past, she heard a young man whisper to his girlfriend, "Do not look at others, you are my woman"

Her eyebrows quivered slightly, and a fleeting yet bittersweet smile appeared on her face

Jiang Anqi smiled apologetically and pulled Zhang Qirui away

A woman in her twenties, pale and thin, with an ordinary appearance and dressed plainly. She did not seem to be the type that Zhang Qirui would like. Jiang Anqi felt relieved.

Her attention quickly returned to the small bag she had picked up earlier. It was a cloth bag; getting it wet was not a big deal, but getting it dirty would be difficult to clean. Gu Xiang wiped the water with a pained expression, thinking that another twenty yuan had gone down the drain

Miss

Gu Xiang already felt that her smile was bright enough and her tone sincere enough, yet that man continued to frown and stare at her.

By ten o'clock in the evening, the goods brought today were indeed sold out as expected. Gu Xiang treated Sister Li to a bowl of cold noodles, then tidied up the stall and rode her bicycle home
