The King of Global Scrap Collection Chapter 5 - 5 3 Old Classmate

5: Chapter 3: Old Classmate 5: Chapter 3: Old Classmate After depositing money at the bank, it had already gotten dark.

As he stepped out, he saw a traffic officer from a distance, and Li Zhongnan imdiately felt uneasy.

He hadn’t even obtained his driver’s license yet.

Though it was rare for vehicles to be checked in County Town, occasionally driving without too much bad luck usually ant no accidents.

However, now he was planning to rent a storefront in County Town to start an electronics repair shop, which would involve a lot of commuting.

Being detained for fifteen days wouldn’t be fun at all.

After thinking it over, he decided to make a call.

About ten minutes later, a stylish woman rode over on an electric scooter.

Li Zhongnan went up to et her, grinning, “Wow, at first glance, I thought so big celebrity had co to Northrealm, but it turns out to be Class Monitor Han!

Haven’t seen you in a while, and you’ve beco even more beautiful.

How do you expect other won to live?” He wasn’t just making things up—those short skirts and black stockings were really enticing!

Indeed, she had changed a lot, her figure had beco much fuller, radiating a mature charm that tickled his heart.

He couldn’t help but lant that marriage indeed made a difference.

The woman was Han Xue, his middle school classmate.

Her father was the principal of Northrealm Middle School, and following in her father’s footsteps, she beca a preschool teacher after graduating from middle school.

She currently worked in a kindergarten in County Town and had been married for over a year.

Back in middle school, their relationship had been nothing special.

However, since returning from Yanjing, they had t a few tis and got along quite well.

Especially since he had been staying in the countryside for the past six months with little entertainnt at night, he often flirted with this old classmate on WeChat to pass the ti.

Both being adults, their chats were quite open.

Han Xue’s husband was also a teacher but worked in Nangang, making it rare for them to et even a few tis a week.

She hinted to him subtly that her marital life was not harmonious, and she felt unsatisfied.

Let’s just say, arranging a casual etup was just a sentence away, but given their long-standing acquaintance, it was awkward for either to make the first move.

Staying in County Town, he might need a car at any mont, so he thought about storing it temporarily.

After much deliberation, since most of his classmates from County Town were studying in other places, only Han Xue was at ho, so he had no choice but to trouble her.

“Don’t start with !”

Han Xue parked her electric scooter and said nonchalantly, “No good deed cos without a reason, so tell , college student, what do you need my help with?”

“What are you talking about!

Dear class monitor, do you really see like that?” Li Zhongnan said laughingly, “Aren’t you the one who’s always complaining about your low salary and not being able to afford a car?

Here, borrow mine for a few days.”

Han Xue scoffed, “Oh please, I wouldn’t even want the junk-collector car that you drive.”

Li Zhongnan gave an embarrassed smile, “Ahem, the thing is, I still haven’t gotten my driver’s license.

It’s inconvenient to drive around in County Town, so I was thinking of storing it at your place for a while.”

Han Xue readily agreed, “Sure, we have plenty of room at ho.”

“Thanks a lot!”

Li Zhongnan smiled at her, then opened the rear door of the car and hoisted the electric scooter inside.

He then opened the front passenger door and extended a hand, “After you, dear class monitor.”

Han Xue cracked a slight smile, “I’ll drive!”

“Fine, since you’re the class monitor, you make the rules.” Li Zhongnan was slightly stunned, appreciating that she had beco considerate after becoming a married woman, knowing he didn’t have a license and offering to drive.

After storing the van,

as a return favor, Li Zhongnan treated her to a al at a mid-range restaurant.

At the dinner table, they inevitably reminisced about old tis, chatting nonstop until midnight.

From middle school to college, from life to work, from celebrity gossip to politics and public affairs, they reminisced about the past and looked forward to the future, enjoying the conversation more and more.

Leaving the restaurant,

the night breeze was gentle, and Han Xue relished it, reluctantly saying, “Zhongnan, being with you is genuinely delightful.

I can’t rember the last ti I felt this relaxed and joyful.”

Li Zhongnan chuckled, “Well, it’s quite late, you better head ho now!”

Han Xue asked, “Where are you staying?”

Li Zhongnan shrugged and replied, “Where else can I stay but just book a room sowhere?”

“Renting a room is such a waste of money!”

Han Xue brushed her hair aside, giving him a tender, aningful look, “Or, you could co to my place?”

Go to her place, and then what?

That goes without saying—everyone knew what it ant.

Feeling the heat in her gaze, slling the fragrance emanating from her, and glancing at her ripe, voluptuous body, Li Zhongnan was nearly overpowered by impulse and almost agreed.

In the end, reason triumphed over desire, “I really can’t!

Squad leader, you have no idea how tempting you are.

If I were alone with you in a room, I wouldn’t be able to stop myself.

Your husband would kill .” He reminded her with his words—beauty, we are old classmates, and you’re married.

We must restrain ourselves, we must control.

“Nonsense!

Fine, I’m leaving!

See you tomorrow!” Han Xue hailed a taxi, bent down, and climbed in.

Li Zhongnan watched her rounded, perky backside briefly revealed by her skirt lifting slightly and suddenly felt very justified in refusing to go to her place…

It was definitely the right decision.

Had he gone, his virginity would surely have been lost.

The next morning.

Before he fully woke up, Han Xue called him, “Li Zhongnan, I’ve found a storefront for you near Northrealm Middle School.

The location is decent, and there’s no transfer fee.

Why don’t you co take a look?”

“Okay!”

Li Zhongnan was sowhat surprised.

Last night, he had only vaguely ntioned wanting to find a storefront in County Town to open an electronics repair shop.

He hadn’t expected her to rember and act so quickly.

After getting ready, he left the hotel.

Han Xue was already waiting for him on her electric bike.

Seeing the beautiful young wife looking sowhat tired—he guessed she didn’t sleep much last night, probably another night of sleepless solitude.

From a distance, she waved excitedly, “Co on, get on.

I’ll take you for a ride, let you breathe the fresh air of the small county town.”

“How about I take you instead?” Li Zhongnan smiled, climbing on.

Han Xue moved to make space, sitting behind him, her hands resting on his shoulders, their bodies slightly touching.

They rode around with the beautiful young classmate, and then found a place for breakfast.

Then they arrived at the place she ntioned.

The location was indeed good, on the side of the main road, facing Northrealm Middle School across the street, and close to the old bus station—the foot traffic was bound to be significant.

The storefront was about thirty to forty square ters, spacious and well-lit with good ventilation; it was forrly a bookstore, and the decoration was relatively new.

Moreover, there was a two-bedroom apartnt in the back with a kitchen and bathroom.

Perfect—one room for sleeping, another as a storeroom.

Li Zhongnan was satisfied, “This is the one!”

“Aren’t you going to ask the price?”

Han Xue said speechlessly and then called the shop owner, a middle-aged man with a scholarly aura.

Han Xue introduced him, “Uncle Yang, this is my classmate, Li Zhongnan.

He’s the one taking over this shop.

Please give him a price.”

Turns out she knew the owner, no wonder it was so quick.

Li Zhongnan extended a hand, “Uncle Yang, nice to et you.”

“Nice to et you!”

Uncle Yang gave a perfunctory smile, “Since you’re Xue’s classmate, I’ll give you a fair price—five thousand a month, pay six months upfront, six months’ deposit.”

No transfer fee, five thousand a month—the price was indeed reasonable.

Just as Li Zhongnan was about to agree, Han Xue gave him a look, then coyly said to Uncle Yang, “Uncle Yang, could you make it a little cheaper?

My classmate is just starting out, he doesn’t have much money, consider it helping him out!”

Uncle Yang hesitated, “Alright, fifty thousand for one year, I can’t go any lower than that.”

Just like that, she saved him ten thousand.

Li Zhongnan gratefully glanced at Han Xue.

The business hadn’t even started—he still needed to renovate and buy furniture—money was definitely tight, and she truly had a heart.

They signed the contract and transferred fifty thousand to Uncle Yang.

This storefront now belonged to Li Zhongnan.

While not large, it was at least his own business, much better than when he’d been expelled from school, wandering holess in Jingcheng City.
