Fu Er walked into the Experimental Primary School with a spring in her step, but the security guard stopped her with a hand up. "Middle school students aren't allowed in."

Her smile froze momentarily, but she expertly pulled out her ID and showed it to him. "I'm here to pick up a child and have a chat with his homeroom teacher."

"...You're in your twenties?!" The guard stepped aside, looking as if he'd seen a ghost. "Alright, alright, go on in. Just dress more maturely next time."

Fu Er gave a vague acknowledgment and stepped back into the school grounds.

Every breath she took here felt familiar and comforting.

With fifteen minutes until class ended, she arrived early, just enough time to take a stroll around.

Tao Yingqi happened to be walking over with her teaching materials, and the two met.

"Fu Er?"

"Teacher Ying!" Fu Er's smile was radiant. "I'm here to pick up Xingwang after school!"

Tao Yingqi didn't have anything urgent, so she leaned against the railing and chatted with Fu Er about recent events. Then, the young girl's conversation took a turn, her eyes shining. "By the way, I'm planning to buy a house by the end of next year. Do you have any recommended real estate projects, Teacher Ying?"

Tao Yingqi thought she had misheard. "You... Are you planning to settle down in Yuhang?"

"Well, maybe, but with housing prices rising so fast, the sooner, the better," Fu Er calculated her savings and how much her parents might subsidize, quickly making mental calculations. "Just a two-bedroom apartment will do. If it's by a lake or a river, even better. About seventy to eighty square meters. Anything smaller would be uncomfortable."

Tao Yingqi felt a mix of emotions. "You're so young. There's no need to work so hard and stress yourself out. Sometimes it's good to relax and take a break."

She had been harassed by the kids every day for five or six years, and even with her meager salary, saving for a down payment and paying off a mortgage would be difficult.

But this younger colleague in front of her didn't exude that kind of withered aura from being squeezed dry. Instead, she seemed to glow with energy, already considering real estate options.

"Well," Fu Er said solemnly, "I've got a terminal illness that says if I don't make money, I'll die without a house."

Tao Yingqi: ...?

Peng Xingwang walked out of the classroom with his bag and immediately spotted the homeroom teacher chatting with Fu Er. He bounced over and greeted, "Hello, Teacher!"

"Your brother got swarmed by the parents, so I'm here to pick you up for him." Fu Er waved to Tao Yingqi. "Let's catch up later!"

As she led Peng Xingwang out of the school, the child suddenly realized something wasn't right.

"Do you know Teacher Tao?"

"Yeah," Fu Er grinned. "We're good friends, and we're going to be neighbors in the future."

Jiang Wang originally planned to bring both his best friend and boyfriend out for dinner, but with the enthusiastic parents at the door and a few clients coming over, he didn't see Ji Linqui's shadow even after one class. So, he decided to take Peng Xingwang back home for dinner.
