Chapter Seven: Layer by Layer, Knocking on Bamboo Sticks

  After resting for two days in the East City, Pang Guang welcomed his first day of school at Dongcheng No. 1 Middle School. To show his high profile of washing his heart and changing his face, he was ready before the alarm clock rang, Luo Lixiang looked at him with a smile that couldn't be closed.

  Dongcheng No. 1 Middle School, as a key middle school in Dongcheng District, has top-notch infrastructure among all schools in the district, with facilities such as multimedia classrooms, laboratories, computer rooms, audio-visual rooms and dance studios. As soon as Pang Guang stepped into the campus, he saw the teaching building shaped like a "口" character, with a large playground in the center of the building. The surroundings were filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, with lush green trees everywhere. Just as Pang Guang was marveling at how this school was like a heavenly paradise compared to the rural Baishui Middle School, a slender figure flashed past him.

  "Female hooligan?" Pang Guang's eyes froze, this wasn't the female hooligan who snatched his phone, but the figure he had been cursing in his dreams for the past two days. He was more familiar with it than anyone else, even if it turned to ashes, he would still remember it. Unexpectedly, they met again after all these twists and turns.

  "Hey, swindler, stop right there!" Pang Guang rushed forward in pursuit.

  This figure was indeed Lin Junyun. At this moment, she was thinking deeply and suddenly heard someone shouting loudly in her ear, giving her a big fright.

  "Is it you?" Lin Junyun saw Pang Guang and felt very surprised.

  "This time you can't run away no matter what, give me back my phone!"

  "Cell phone? Did I borrow your cell phone, classmate?" Lin Junyun wasn't one to be trifled with either. Seeing the classmates coming and going around her, she naturally wouldn't admit what happened that day in public.

  "It's not borrowing, it's robbing." Pang Guang thundered: "If you play any more tricks, I'll use force to beat people up."

  "Hey, why are you talking like that?" Lin Junyun's eyes sparkled with cunning: "This classmate, although I haven't seen you here before, but I think you're carrying a backpack, so you should be a student here, right? You say, as a big man, beating up a weak girl here, what will other classmates think? And there are school police, oh, and teachers too. I don't know which class you're from, but it's unlikely that your teacher would happen to pass by here, right?"

  "Don't think you can scare me with your teacher act. I don't even care about the principal if you mess with me. Stop wasting words and return my phone."

  Lin Junyun looked around, making sure no one was paying attention, and suddenly lowered his voice, putting his mouth close to Pang Guang's ear and whispering: "Alright, I don't want to waste words with you either. Who told you to secretly take pictures of me, you old pervert? A flat price, 3000 yuan, consider it my compensation for damages to my reputation."

  "How did it suddenly go from 2,000 to 3,000? The market is constantly rising!" Pang Guang was stunned by the fragrance of orchids coming out of Lin Junyun's mouth.

  "No bargaining, take the phone away and sell it at a discount, you can sell it for at least 4,000 to 5,000 yuan, don't think about it too much, even if you offer 4,000 yuan, I'll see if I'm in the mood or not." Lin Junyun smugly curled her lips.

  "Alright, deal, hand over the phone." Pang Guang pinched his pocket and thought to himself that fortunately he had brought all the money from his piggy bank when he went out today, not too much or too little, exactly 3000 yuan, it's better to redeem his phone quickly.

  "Did you really mean to take out 3,000 yuan?" Lin Junyun looked at him suspiciously, analyzing whether there was any ulterior motive.

  "Yes, hurry up."

  "What a pity, I didn't bring my phone with me."

  "What did you say, think it's fun to play with me? Believe it or not, I'll slap you to death!" Pang Guang had just made a difficult decision, but Lin Junyun suddenly splashed out a vicious remark.

  Lin Junyun did not expect that Pang Guang had really compromised, and she was so regretful that her intestines turned green. She hated herself for not having the foresight to meet him here earlier. Although she had tried to contact Pang Guang two days ago, his phone had been switched off every time she called, and later his phone ran out of battery. She didn't have a suitable charger, so she casually threw it on the headboard.

  "Don't keep opening and closing your mouth, be civilized. I'm actually telling the truth, since you agreed to pay for it, do I still need to cheat you?" Lin Junyun's delicate little mouth slightly curled up, smiling like a flower: "Don't forget that your precious phone is in my hands now, it's not up to you to haggle over prices. Whether I sell this broken phone or return it to you, it's all up to me."

  "What do you want then?" Pang Guang was so angry that he spat out blood, but he also had to soften up a bit. If the other party didn't admit their mistake, he wouldn't have any way to deal with it.

  "I was going to return your phone out of pity, but you scared me just now. We need to redefine the rules." Lin Junyun thought to himself that he was so tense about this phone, could it be that there's some unspeakable secret hidden inside? That's right, he's so fond of taking sneaky photos, I'll just buy a charger and fill it up with electricity to investigate.

  "What rules?" Pang Guang asked calmly.

  "The price is still a flat 3000, unchanged, and there's an additional condition, which is that you agree to help me with three things."

  Pang Guang listened, and his throat was immediately choked by saliva, coughing for half a day before stopping slightly, finally shouting out: "Are you sick or something?"

  "I'm not willing to drag it out, I'm not in a hurry, think about it and tell me later, now this girl is going to class." Lin Junyun turned around with her butt facing Pang Guang and twisted twice, laughing like an idiot: "I'm the excellent student council president, can't be late."

  Pang Guang's tightly clenched fist was about to strike out several times, this time he couldn't bear it anymore and really wanted to hit someone. Lin Junyun dodged the fist nimbly like a cat and ran away quickly.

  "NMGB, a scrawny butt like yours and you still dare to show it off in front of me!" Pang Guang was so angry that he spat out blood. He searched among the classmates for a while but couldn't find her, so he just cursed randomly.

  With a mind of trying his luck, he took out the pink mobile phone and dialed his own number again. The system prompt indicated that it was already turned off, so he reluctantly followed the sign to find his classroom.
