Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared

The three of them ate and chatted together. Seeing it was about time, Gu Fan said his goodbye, expressing delight at having bumped into the twosome, and then left.

Zhang Yang watched Gu Fan’s receding figure, his brows furrowing slightly before resuming a calm expression. He continued to flirt with Yang Xinran. After finishing breakfast, the pair kick-started their day of dating.

By evening, Zhang Yang arrived alone at Uncle Zhang’s shop, helping to tidy things up while asking: "Uncle, is this Gu Fan from the Gu family currently living in the old house?"

To this, Uncle Zhang nodded: "Yes, that’s right. Don’t harbor any thoughts about it; we Zhangs have already given up. You should keep out of it."

Hearing this, Zhang Yang felt just a bit unwilling: "That’s what grandpa gave up, not us. We shouldn’t have moved out of the old house so easily, and now, only the Gus occupy such a fine house."

Uncle Zhang gave a faint smile: "Who could’ve known the affairs of the past? Not only did we Zhangs give up, but so did the Luo and Liu families. Who could’ve known back then? Now everything’s done. Even if you wish to go back, the Gus won’t give up the house."

Zhang Yang gazed earnestly at Uncle Zhang, he asked again: "Uncle, do you think Gu Fan knows about the secret?"

Uncle Zhang shook his head: "I guess of your generation, only your father might have told you, the others probably don’t know this secret."

"That’s perfect if they don’t know. Not knowing its value, perhaps they’d consider giving it up." Zhang Yang started to formulate his plan but Uncle Zhang shook his head: "Don’t overthink, if you could succeed, we would have already found a way to move back in."
