Chapter 242: Chapter 252: Beyond Saving

"Boss, the items I bought clearly cost fifteen yuan and sixty cents, and I gave you twenty," Fang Yi said as he held a plastic bag in front of a convenience store, dressed in a T-shirt, beach shorts, and flip-flops, looking every inch the part of an ordinary townsman. "You owe me four yuan and forty cents, so why did you only give me four yuan? There’s still forty cents missing."

The convenience store owner, flustered, replied, "Isn’t it just forty cents? Here, take fifty cents instead." Saying that, the owner took out a fifty-cent note.

Fang Yi took it, pocketed it, and walked away from the store. The owner muttered curses under his breath behind him, but Fang Yi didn’t care. Wasn’t forty cents still money?

Whether Fang Yi liked something or not dictated his purchasing behavior completely; it wasn’t about the amount. If he liked it, he wouldn’t mind spending forty or even four hundred thousand yuan just for the satisfaction. But if he didn’t like something, he wouldn’t take it even if it was free.

Fang Yi had bought peanuts, beer, and a pack of cigarettes. Returning to his residential complex, he suddenly noticed a red Audi parked below, looking vaguely familiar.

As he reached his apartment, he could hear loud laughter from next door. Though muffled by the door, Fang Yi could distinctly recognize it as Shen Xiaoxiao’s. Who else could laugh like that?

Fang Yi turned around and knocked on the door, which was immediately opened by Cai Cai.

"Uncle, you’re back! There are two beautiful aunts looking for you," said Cai Cai.

Hmm? Could it really be Binnan who had come?

What’s meant to be will come. Fang Yi entered with his purchases.

In the living room, Shen Xiaoxiao sat on the sofa, barefoot and relaxed as if she were at her own home. Next to her sat Lin Lin, expressionless, clearly unamused by Shen Xiaoxiao’s loud laughter. However, Shen Xiaoxiao laughed boisterously, oblivious to anyone else.

Shen Xiaoxiao quickly noticed Fang Yi, dropped the remote control, and lunged at him like a bolt of lightning.

Fang Yi winced as he felt pain in his chest; Shen Xiaoxiao had practically headbutted him. There was no escaping it—had Fang Yi actually dodged, Shen Xiaoxiao might have ended up in the hospital the next moment.

"Ha ha," Shen Xiaoxiao laughed, her laughter ringing like bells.
