Then he said to Su Xiaoqiang, "If you film me like this, I'll have to charge you a copyright fee."
"No way! Not a single penny!" Su Xiaoqiang said, clutching her camera and turning to leave.
Gu Ran wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and whispered, "I don't care. I want an equal exchange. Otherwise, you'll have to give me something more precious. Haven't you heard the saying that everything has a price? Free things are the most expensive?"
After saying that, Gu Ran pinched her cheek, then said goodbye to the two of them and went back to the dressing room to change his clothes.
Su Xiaoqiang stood there, blushing.
Su's mother asked her, "What did he whisper to you that made you blush so much?"
Su Xiaoqiang touched her cheeks and found them burning. She pondered the implication of Gu Ran's words and recalled what her mother had just told her.
"Stinking rogue!"
……
In the evening, after having dinner at the Su family's house, Gu Ran and Su Xiaoqiang enjoyed the cool air in the courtyard.
Su Xiaoqiang leaned against Gu Ran, holding his arm, and smiled quietly as she looked at the night sky.
"I've arranged to go shopping with Lu Mingfei tomorrow at noon, and we'll eat out," Gu Ran said.
“Oh…” Su Xiaoqiang thought for a moment and said, “Then I’ll go too.”
Her boyfriend was leaving in a few days, and she wanted to cherish the time they had together.
“Okay.” Gu Ran took out her phone and said to Lu Mingfei on QQ.
Lu Mingfei replied: OK.
Su Xiaoqiang stared at his phone screen: "Let me invite Liu Miaomiao out shopping with me too. I haven't given her the gift I bought in South Korea last time."
"Well, I didn't give Lu Mingfei his gift either."
As she spoke, Su Xiaoqiang called Liu Miaomiao and arranged a time for tomorrow.
After finalizing tomorrow's arrangements, Su Xiaoqiang leaned her head on her boyfriend's shoulder, thinking again about the upcoming day of their separation.
"Gu Ran..."
"Ok?"
"Do you think...we'll be together forever?"
As the start of the school year draws closer, the feeling of parting grows stronger.
This is the sorrow of separation that every long-distance couple has to go through.
Gu Ran put his arm around her waist, letting her lean against him, and whispered to her, "Although it's only a temporary separation, we will definitely be together forever in the future."
"Then... will you marry me?"
"meeting."
Gu Ran answered directly and decisively, without any hesitation.
Su Xiaoqiang smiled happily, nestled in her boyfriend's arms, one hand on his broad shoulder, her body leaning against his chest.
Gu Ran asked, "You still haven't said whether you want to marry me or not?"
"I won't say!" Su Xiaoqiang pouted, showing her own sense of pride.
You're not proposing, so I'm not going to say I want to marry you.
However, at their age, they are still too young to talk about marriage.
Logically speaking, couples who are newly in love will not think too far ahead about the future.
But perhaps because the sense of parting was too strong, she could only look forward to the future to console herself for the pain of longing.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Gu Ran tickled her waist. Su Xiaoqiang was ticklish and immediately arched her back, giggling.
The two were playfully fighting, and soon their eyes met, gazing at each other with deep affection.
Su Xiaoqiang pouted and closed her eyes slightly.
After waiting for a while, she didn't receive a kiss from her boyfriend and opened her eyes in confusion.
Gu Ran gave her a wink, and then Su Xiaoqiang slowly turned around and saw her father hiding in the living room, secretly watching the two of them.
Su Xiaoqiang felt a little shy, thinking to herself, "Why is my dad so inconsiderate?"
Then, they saw Su's mother walk up to Su's father, grab his ear, and take him upstairs.
They smiled at each other, and then shared a deep kiss under the starry sky.
……
At 10:55 a.m. the next day, Lu Mingfei waited for Gu Ran at the agreed location on the first floor of Jiuguang Shopping Mall.
Just then, a familiar female voice came from behind: "Hey, Lu Mingfei, long time no see."
Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment. The voice was familiar, but why did the tone sound so unfamiliar?
He turned around and found that it was Su Xiaoqiang.
Wasn't her tone too gentle just now?
After staring at her blankly for a long time, Lu Mingfei finally blurted out a ridiculous statement: "Hey, have you taken the wrong medicine?"
"What did you say?" Su Xiaoqiang glared at him, immediately becoming arrogant. "Say it again, or I'll tear your tongue out!"
"Thank goodness, this is the sharp-tongued Su Xiaoqiang I know!" Lu Mingfei was relieved to see the little fairy's fierce appearance.
The gentle Su Xiaoqiang just now was like the White Bone Demon in disguise.
"you……"
Su Xiaoqiang thought that Gu Ran and Lu Mingfei were friends and that they would be going to the same school soon.
Out of respect for Gu Ran, she became a little nicer to Lu Mingfei.
Unexpectedly, the two started arguing again after only a couple of sentences.
Lu Mingfei thought to himself, "Little Fairy is Gu Ran's girlfriend, so I shouldn't argue with her." So he took the initiative to apologize: "Okay, sister-in-law, I admit I was wrong. I said the wrong thing. I apologize. Please don't be angry."
"How could I be angry!"
A gentle smile suddenly appeared on Su Xiaoqiang's face. Then she walked over and hugged her boyfriend's hand.
Lu Mingfei was wondering why Su Xiaoqiang had suddenly changed his expression when he turned around and saw that it was Gu Ran who had arrived.
"Brother, you're amazing. You've completely tamed the little fairy." Lu Mingfei said to Gu Ran.
Chapter 82 A Gift for Lu Mingfei
Lu Mingfei then complained to Su Xiaoqiang, "Speaking of which, Little Fairy, do you carry a mask with you all the time? Your face changes so quickly!"
Su Xiaoqiang clung to Gu Ran's arm, then hid behind her boyfriend, giving Lu Mingfei an angry glare.
For the sake of that "sister-in-law" address, I decided not to argue with him.
Su Xiaoqiang saw Liu Miaomiao walk in, so she took her boyfriend's arm and waved to her with a smile.
"Hello everyone, it's been a long time." Liu Miaomiao greeted everyone in a quiet and gentle voice, just like before.
Su Xiaoqiang let go of Gu Ran's arm and went up to take her friend's hand: "You've gotten a bit tanned, where did you go?"
"I went to Yunnan. It wasn't hot there, but it was still very sunny."
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Gu Ran suggested, "Let's split up and shop separately, so everyone won't get bored."
"I agree!" Lu Mingfei was the first to raise his hand in support. He was a gamer, what was there to do shopping with a girl?
The two girls agreed.
Su Xiaoqiang and Liu Miaomiao, two girls, held hands and chatted as they went shopping in the clothing section.
Gu Ran asked Lu Mingfei, "Is there anything you want to buy?"
Lu Mingfei took out a piece of paper with a shopping list written on it: "First, I need to buy two large suitcases, a travel backpack, and..."
Gu Ran glanced at his shopping list. The first part was all about suitcases and bags, and a pressure cooker... The last part of the note listed the names of various computer games.
Gu Ran smiled and said, "Why don't you buy what you want most first?"
"Just what I wanted!" Lu Mingfei put the note away.
The two went to a nearby computer mall, where Lu Mingfei started picking out game discs.
"By the way, aren't you afraid of customs confiscating all those pirated game discs you bought?" Gu Ran looked at him, who was holding a shopping basket and had already picked out more than a dozen discs.
Lu Mingfei was taken aback: "Really?"
"Yes, they will confiscate it and impose a fine. American customs won't listen to reason."
"Hiss!" Lu Mingfei gasped, then reluctantly put the pirated game disc back.
He has no money and cannot afford the fine.
Gu Ran then said to Lu Mingfei, "Besides... since you've already bought pirated copies, why not just find resources online and download them directly?"
“My hard drive is already full…” Lu Mingfei said.
"Is this some kind of Japanese duo performance?"
"Pah! Do you think I'm that kind of person? I'm very upright!"
Gu Ran smiled and thought to himself, no wonder he wrote it down on a small note, it turns out he wanted to buy games that he hadn't downloaded yet.
"Customs sometimes inspect the contents of hard drives," Gu Ran told him ruthlessly. "If they find pirated content, they will confiscate it and impose a fine."
"Huh?" Lu Mingfei stuck out his tongue; he would stick out his tongue when he was nervous.
Gu Ran smiled and said, "However, I have a way to help you take it over, either a hard drive or a CD, but... you'll have to owe me another favor."
"Really?" Lu Mingfei was overjoyed. "Then you can take it for me!"
"Okay, okay, but you have to remember this, you owe me two times now!" Gu Ran was referring to the time Su Xiaoqiang gave him the alien-themed laptop.
"Okay, okay, okay." Lu Mingfei quickly agreed, as he was already burdened with debts and wasn't afraid of being weighed down.
Lu Mingfei was overjoyed and picked out dozens of game discs in one go.
"Is it necessary to buy so many?" Gu Ran asked him.
