Guozi-ge eating my candy is because you recognize me, how would I dare to take your money! The candy seller stuttered.

Fuck your mom, what do you mean by not taking the money Im giving you? Guo Qing said darkly.

Yes-yes, then Ill just accept the money for the cost, the candy seller freaked and immediately changed his mind.

Thats more like it, or else people will say I, Guozi, ate and didnt pay, Guo Qing reached his hand into his pockets, rustled around in it for a long while, and finally took out a few coins, and threw it to the candy seller.

Is it enough? Guo Qing asked.

Enough, enough, this is too much! The candy seller didnt dare to say not enough, who doesnt know Guo Qings name around the market, there is a sentence going around the vendors, as great as the tax bureau and industrial and commercial bureau it doesnt compare up to one of Guozi-ges sentence.

Is that so? Its too much, Guo Qing casually took back two kuai, and said, Its fine now right.

Yes, yes! The candy selling didnt dare to say anymore in fear of Guo Qing troubling him even more.

Fuck, he really is a evil merchant, those three pieces of candy tricked three kuai from me! Guo Qing swore.

Hearing that, the candy selling on the side nearly peed his pants, he said with a crying face, Guozi-ge, please dont mess with me anymore, I dont want any money, I dont want any money!

Then wouldnt I be robbing you? Guo Qing said in annoyance while taking back his three kuai.

Its xiaodi1 that treated Guozi-ge to the candy! The candy seller quickly said.

Oh, thats fine, thank you! Guo Qing patted the candy seller and said with a smile.

Boss, quickly go and eat candy in the corner with dasao, what are you still standing here for? Guo Qing turned around, and smiled lecherously towards Chen Weier and I.

Chen Weier immediately blushed after hearing that, and quickly shook her hands, Im not that that dasao.

Wasnt what your friend, Guo Qing, did a bit too much? Chen Weier said to me.

Its not really too much, wasnt it the same when they were asking you for money! I said.

Thats true, its good that those people got punished a bit, or else they would go and trick other people, Chen Weier agreed with me seldomly.

Thats right, why did you think of buying this type of candy? Havent you seen that these often trick people? I pointed to the candy and asked.

My dad always wanted to eat this type of candy, but hes reluctant to buy it. Since I saw it coincidentally today, I wanted to buy some for him, I thought it was ten kuai per 500 grams, who knew it was per 50 grams, Chen Weier said embarrassedly.

Oh, I nodded. Why did you come out? Arent you selling Mala Tang? I asked weirdly. It was nearly mealtime, why did Chen Weier come out at his tim?

My older brother went over, and told me to come out for air, I also just wanted to go to the bookstore, Chen Weier said.

Oh? Youre also going to the bookstore? I pretended to be surprised. It was very realistic, even I thought I was going to go to the bookstore.

Yeah, youre going too? Chen Weier thought that I was also going seeing my expression.

Then lets go together, what a coincidence, I said naturally, without pretentious expression. This type of lie was far too simple for a old business fox like me.

Okay, Chen Weier didnt find it right to refuse after I said so. Since I just helped her out.

The two of us walked on the street, one at the front, one at the back. Originally we were supposed to walk side by side, yet Chen Weier always waited faster or slower than me. Perhaps Chen Weier thought that walking shoulder to shoulder would make us seem like a couple, making it too ambiguous.

Songjiang citys Xuefu Bookstore was established in 1990, it was currently the largest bookstore within Songjiang province, it covered 3600 squared meters, and had a standalone garden and parking lot, the number of books it had was among the most in the country, it can be said that aside from pirated copies, all genuine books could be bought here.

What book are you going to buy? I said when Chen Weier and I got on the bookstores elevator.

Its going to be the National Matriculation Examination soon, I want to buy a few more revision guides, Chen Weier said.

Lets go and have a look together, I said. I remember I often visited this place when I was in the Third Year, now that I think about it, I did miss those books quite a bit, it was a chance to have a look at it with Chen Weier.

In 1995, revision material wasnt all over the place like it was later on, but it wasnt too lacking either, Xuefu Bookstore had an entire floor dedicated to selling revision material for students.

I saw Chen Weier pick up a function question bank, it was called High School Worked Function Examples, Ive seen this book in my previous life, the questions inside were a bit different to the course, although the explanation was pretty good, it wasnt very useful for the National Matriculation Examinations. Of course, I only found this out after attending the National Matriculation Examinations, because this book was treated as a bible by some people in our class.

As expected, Chen Weier was immediately attracted by the contents of that book, and started reading enjoyably.

Although this book does explain stuff in quite a bit of detail, but the questions within are a bit different to those of in the actual exam, I said to Chen Weier. I felt like I did have to warn Chen Weier a bit, so she would walk less curved paths.

Really? How do you know, a lot of studious classmates inn my class strongly recommend this book! Chen Weier said in disbelief.

Because Ive seen this book, and have compared it to various past papers! It couldnt be helped, I could only answer like this. Or was I supposed to tell her that Ive seen this book in my previous life?

Oh? Youve read it? But this is a guide for Third Year? Chen Weier looked at the student that just started First Year in disbelief.

Yeah, I already self-studied all of the courses for high school, I could only continue randomly making stuff up.

You learnt all of the courses for high school!? Chen Weier shouted in surprise, causing everyone else in the book store to look our way.

Chen Weier stuck out her tongue in embarrassment and covered her mouth with her hands. She was way too surprised just now that she became too loud.

Ah, I remember! They say that our schools first year has a genius freak, and got 493 marks in the mid term tests, Math, Physics, Chemistry and English were all full marks. I remember hes also called Liu Lei, are you that person? Chen Weier opened her mouth wide and pointed her finger at me.

Probably, I nodded unsure of what to do. However isnt this name of genius freak a bit too ehh, why doesnt it sound good.

No wonder! So youre this good! Then Ill listen to you, I wont buy this book, Chen Weiers gaze towards me became a gaze of admiration.

So being good in academics was so great in school, I said proudly to myself in my heart. It looks like this is an opening, I should talk about academics a bit more with Chen Weier, at the same time Hehe.

After that, I recommended Chen Weier a few exercise books that were very helpful for me in my previous life, and one of them was even the exercise book with the most accurate questions for the National Matriculation Examination in Chen Weiers year.

When we were going to pay, I noticed Chen Weier was really slow in paying, and looked at me with a weird gaze.
