Zhang Tong's mind lit up.
"It likes you—"
He blurted out.
Come to think of it, he seemed to have blurted things out quite a few times during this meeting.
"Right, right. It likes you..."
So Student Xiao didn't need to say anything in particular. This strange gold would willingly do things that matched Student Xiao's wishes.
That was it.
That had to be it.
Zhang Tong touched his face again.
He suppressed the urge to take out his phone and check how badly his face was injured.
Damn it.
He hadn't gotten any money.
And he'd gotten himself injured.
Zhang Tong was so frustrated he wanted to scream.
But he knew this wasn't the time or place.
If he really screamed, he probably wouldn't have any hope of getting money at all.
Come to think of it, even if he didn't scream, did he still have any hope, given the situation?
Zhang Tong took a deep breath.
"...Let's not waste any more time."
His expression was grave.
His voice was low and heavy.
"Buy it."
Zhang Tong's face was full of hope.
There was even a hint of pleading and begging in his expression.
"It's not something that can be bought or sold."
Xiao Xiao's fingers twitched slightly.
The gold flowed over his fingers like water.
It seemed to be playing around.
Zhang Tong suddenly clenched his fists.
"...Can't you just help me?"
His voice sounded hoarse, as if he were venting, and there was a hint of hysteria in it.
Xu Qishan couldn't hold back any longer. "Help you?"
"You make it sound so easy."
"What reason does Student Xiao have to help you?"
"You—"
How could he make asking for help sound so brazen?
"Can't you just take pity on me?!"
