Qian focused her gaze on the stage, where the program had reached its final part; the prize draw was about to begin.
The three of them sat in a row, each lost in thought. Feeling awkward about the silence, Liumei glanced at the prize tickets in Qian and Fugui's hands and tried to start a conversation.
"Why do you both have tickets? My brother's biased, he didn't give me one."
"You can have mine." Fugui handed his ticket to Liumei.
"My brother gave it to me because Xiaoqiang threatened him. It's like he sneaked it through the backdoor for a family member. But Fugui's ticket wasn't a backdoor deal; he bought a house."
"What?!" Liumei was surprised that Fugui's ticket was from buying a house.
"Fugui, aren't you not working here? Why did you buy a house?"
"I... I've fallen for a girl, and I want to transfer here!" Fugui gathered his courage, nearly prompting Qian to whistle.
Who would have thought? When this usually silent guy gets romantic, he's really something!
