tty would be to seek self-inflicted pain!He smiled vaguely and said, "Talk more, talk more. Aren't you itching for a fight""Yeah, when we were little, you always bullied me. I was thinking about when...In that case, the sales for today alone would probably be less than what the Art Association usually makes in a whole year.

Are they really donating all this money from selling these paintings to Hope Elementary It's such a huge sum, are they really willing to give it away

"Xiao Ma Ge, why don't you try your luck You also study art, so you should have a chance, right" Ye Fan looked at Ma Xiaobei, constantly craning his neck to peek behind the painting, almost drooling.

Ma Xiaobai turned back and helplessly said, "I also want to, but unfortunately I don't have money. I'm just a poor student. Where would I get the money to buy these paintings It is rumored that even the cheapest one here costs several thousand yuan. Just now, Zeng Xiaojun bought a landscape painting of a beautiful woman for 5,000 yuan. That kid went crazy and spent his entire semester's tuition! Unexpectedly, he still failed to get what he wanted, haha, he deserved it."

When talking about his rival, Ma Xiabei's words were laced with gritted teeth.

Ye Fan was speechless. He really didn't expect the calligraphy and paintings here to be so expensive, several times that of other exhibition areas. It's no wonder, most people who buy calligraphy and paintings aren't coming for the art itself, the beauty effect, of course, the calligraphy and paintings also increase in value to sell.

Ye Fan grabbed Ma Xiaobing's hand and said, "Come on, let's go try our luck."

"Hey, I queued up for hours to get this spot! What are you doing" Ma Xiaobing was about to say more, but Ye Fan had already dragged him to a calligraphy and painting exhibition area.

Ye Fan randomly pointed at a picture and said to the salesgirl, "Please wrap this up for me."

"Sir, is this the picture of Swallowing the World" the salesgirl asked politely.

"Yes." Ye Fan said.

"Sir, you have a keen eye. Allow me to explain the history of this painting. It was created by a renowned Chinese ink wash master..."

"Hurry up, miss." Ye Fan interrupted the saleswoman's explanation.

The saleswoman was taken aback. She had been selling paintings for so long, and this was the first time she encountered such a customer. This painting wasn't cheap, yet this young master bought it without even asking questions. He wasn't just extravagant, he was being utterly reckless.

However, the sales girl quickly understood. Seeing that this young master kept his eyes fixed on behind the screen, she figured he must just be hoping to get a glimpse of the beautiful woman behind the painting. But she'd never seen anyone so impatient! Did he really think he could see the beauty inside Not even the most renowned master painter would be able to see the woman's face behind the painting. Their problem was their own insatiable curiosity.

Although the salesgirl thought this in her heart, her hands didn't stop. Her movements were skilled and in just a short while she had already wrapped up the "Swallowing Heaven and Earth" painting, which was worth 30,000 Chinese yuan.

"Sir, the total is thirty thousand. Would you like to pay by card or cash" The salesgirl was actually asking out of politeness; who would carry tens of thousands of yuan around with them for no reason

Ye Fan didn't even raise his head and said, "Swipe the card." He casually tossed the picture to Ma Xiaobing, then took out his card and handed it to the saleswoman.

The salesgirl tapped a few times on the cash register, and Ye Fan had quickly paid. Holding the receipt given by the salesgirl, Ye Fan shoved it into Ma Xiaobing's hand who was still gaping at his own purchase.

Not until Ye Fan had shoved everything into Ma Xiaobai's arms and nudged his shoulder did Ma Xiaobai come to his senses. He held the painting worth 30,000 yuan with a strange look in his eyes, staring at Ye Fan.

"Brother, what do you actually do" Ma Xiaobing felt like his words were getting stuck. Looking at how carefree this brother was with the money, 30,000 yuan didn't even make him blink.

Ye Fan smiled and said, "Speaking of which, we are still alumni. This is considered a greeting gift."

"What You're also a student at Linhai University" Ma Xiaobing looked at Ye Fan in surprise, and he started looking at Ye Fan again. But no matter how he looked, he couldn't see any trace of a student on him.

"How could I possibly not look like a student"

Ye Fan suddenly laughed and said, "It's nothing. I'm a second-generation rich kid, my family has quite a bit of money, this amount of money doesn't mean anything to me at all."

He understood why Ma Xiaobing looked at him with such a strange gaze. How could a poor college student possibly be so generous with his hands Therefore, Ye Fan could easily claim to be a rich second generation.

Ma Xiaobing nodded, then shook his head again, not knowing whether he agreed or disagreed.

Ma Xiaobing suddenly became very kind and pulled Ye Fan over, patting him on the back and saying, "Brother, with your generosity, from now on I'll protect you. At Linhai University, just mention my name, and no one will dare to touch you. You probably don't know who I hang out with. In school, Brother Qiang is my backer. Do you know Brother Qiang He's Li Qiang, the school's top figure, and we're good friends."

Ye Fan couldn't help but laugh and cry. It turned out that Li Qiang, this rascal, had so many younger brothers in school. How could he be a normal person Everyone knew him.

"Have you heard about Fan Ye at Linhai University" Ma Xiaobing suddenly leaned closer to Ye Fan, whispering conspiratorially.

Ye Fan shook his head, indicating he didn't know, while thinking in his heart: Could it be that he was talking about me

Ma Xiaobing stared at Ye Fan in astonishment, saying, "Brother, come on! You don't even know the legendary Ye Fan You're new here, aren't you"

"You're talking about Ye Fan, the one who is in the same grade as Li Qiang and the first-grade class,"

"Besides Ye Fan, is there anyone else in Linhai University who dares to call himself "Fan Ye" Let me, Xiao Ma, know, and I'll be the first to blow his brains out." Ma Xiaobai put on a ferocious face.

Ye Fan shook his head again, but sighed in his heart. It turned out that he had become the symbol of the school's black forces in their minds.

Ma Xiaobai seemed very excited, saying: "Master Fan is amazing! Brother Qiang is pretty capable, but in front of him, he's not even worthy of tying his shoes. I've seen Master Fan beat eight people with one hand—he was so handsome, I can't learn that kind of coolness. He's just like a jade tree facing the wind, ridiculously handsome!"

Ye Fanqi said, "So it seems, Xia Ma Ge is very familiar with that Ye Fan." He thought to himself, when have I ever fought someone at school One beating eight, what nonsense.

Ma Xiaobing tousled his hair and said confidently, "That's natural. I and Fan Ye are like brothers. I wouldn't say anything else, but if it came to chopping people, I could easily get two or three hundred men from Fan Ye. Do you believe me"

"I believe you." Ye Fan nodded, but in his heart he thought, "Believe you I'd be a dead man if I were truly standing before you and you didn't even know who I was. You say we're brothers"
