At noon, the group found a noodle shop near the park and each ate a bowl of noodles for lunch. Ji Mei and Yu Xiang had small appetites, so they shared half of their noodles with Huang Xiaochuan and Yu Wei.

While accompanying Ji Mei to get noodles, Huang Xiaochuan begged Ji Mei to print an extra photo of him and Yu Xiang, promising to come and collect it later. Of course, he didn't do it for free; Huang Xiaochuan made a condition.

Ji Mei seemed to understand and readily agreed.

This little brother really does like Yu Xiang, now it's confirmed. My sixth sense was pretty accurate. Ji Mei couldn't help but feel hopeful. A relationship between an older woman and a younger man, how romantic!

After lunch, Huang Xiaochuan escorted Yu Xiang and Ji Mei to their school gate. After the four said goodbye, Huang Xiaochuan felt that he had gained a lot today and was in a particularly good mood.

They unconditionally granted Yu Wei's wish to go to the library and drove him to Xinhua Bookstore.

Yu Wei went straight to the Hong Kong edition of Jin Yong's novels in traditional Chinese characters and hardcover, which he had been longing for, but unfortunately the books were gone and the shelves were empty.

Yu Wei immediately found a bookstore employee and asked, "Comrade, I saw that Hong Kong edition, traditional Chinese hardcover version, was still there last time. Why is it gone today? Did you put it away?"

The staff's reply chilled Yu Wei to the bone.

"That one? It was bought this morning."

Yu Wei was still unwilling to give up: "Comrade, do you have any more?"

"That's it. This is the only set left. It took almost a year to sell. We'll never stock this kind of book again; it's hard to sell."

Watching the book he had longed for slip through his fingers, Yu Wei was heartbroken. He regretted not borrowing money to buy it back then; now he was doomed.

Disheartened, Yu Wei lost interest in browsing the bookstore and asked Huang Xiaochuan to take him back to school.

After learning the reason, Huang Xiaochuan was at a loss. If Yu Xiang hadn't been there that day, he would have bought the set of books. Now, someone else had bought them, and there was no going back.

After dropping the sullen Yu Wei off at his school gate, Huang Xiaochuan comforted him, saying, "What's the big deal? It's just a set of books! We can just go to Hong Kong to buy them tomorrow. Okay, stop looking so sad, hurry up and go in! I'm really worried about you; you're acting like this because you couldn't even buy a set of books."

Yu Wei ignored him and turned to enter the school gate.

Huang Xiaochuan glanced at his retreating figure, shook his head, and pedaled away. There was still a long way to go, so he hurried back to school.

When Yu Wei returned to his dormitory building, someone was waiting for him with a bag in his arms. When he saw him come back, the person put the bag on the ground, ran to Yu Wei's side, and patted him on the shoulder.

"Hey! Boyfriend, you're finally back! I've been waiting for you forever!"

"Go away, get out of here! Who's your boyfriend!" Yu Wei, in a bad mood, impatiently chased him away.

Who is Tang Yuan? She doesn't care whether you're in a good mood or not. With me, Tang Yuan, around, I'll make you feel better even if you're not.

"Come here and see what this is!"

Without a second thought, Tang Yuan dragged Yu Wei to the package she had been holding and gestured to him, "Open it and take a look."

Yu Wei glanced at Tang Yuan with dissatisfaction, but reluctantly squatted down and opened the package.

"Oh my god!" This is the deluxe edition of the martial arts novel I've been longing for! How did it end up in her hands? Did she buy it specifically to give to me?

Yu Wei pointed at the book with a delighted expression and asked Tang Yuan, "Was this a gift for me?"

Tang Yuan gave him a disdainful look and said, "You're just dreaming, aren't you? Give it to you? Why should I?"

"Then I'll buy it, and you can sell it to me, right?"

"I won't sell? Am I crazy? I just bought this book and I'm going to sell it to you right away? Am I crazy?" Tang Yuan deliberately whetted Yu Wei's appetite.

Now Yu Wei was in a bind. He really couldn't bear to part with the set of books and was afraid of missing out on them again.

"I'll give you more money." Yu Wei was determined to buy the set of books. He would borrow some money from Huang Xiaochuan first, and then pay him back in several installments each month by deducting a portion from his living expenses.

"I already said, I'm not selling! But..."

"But what?" Yu Wei keenly seized on the flaw that Tang Yuan had deliberately revealed.

Seeing that Yu Wei had taken the bait, Tang Yuan then revealed her terms.

"You'll buy me drinks tonight. If you can get me drunk, I'll give you this book." He said, looking at Yu Wei with a provocative expression.

Upon hearing the terms, Yu Wei nearly went crazy with joy. Looking at Tang Yuan's small frame, he thought to himself, "You asked for this. If you're willing to die, I'm willing to bury you."

"Huh? Are you sure you want to drink with me?" Yu Wei asked again to confirm.

"I'm absolutely, positively and definitely going to drink with you!" Tang Yuan declared with unwavering conviction.

Yu Wei suppressed his overwhelming joy: "It's settled then! You decide where we're going for drinks tonight! I'll pay!"

"The guesthouse restaurant next to the school, see you at six o'clock tonight."

Tang Yuan was thinking, "After tonight, you'll be mine! He's so handsome! Hehe! How embarrassing, I'm drooling! Luckily, no one saw!"

Yu Wei was in an extremely good mood and returned to his dormitory with a radiant smile.

When Ni Jin saw him like this, she teased him, "Hey! Yu Wei, you look radiant, are you having a lucky streak with ladies?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Wei became displeased: "Go away, what do you mean by 'romantic luck'? All you know is men and women, all that sweet talk. Please, can you improve your thinking a bit? You've wasted your time learning Marxism-Leninism."

Ni Jin didn't care about Yu Wei's sarcasm at all. He put his arm around Yu Wei's neck and asked, "Then why do you look so happy? Tell us quickly, what happy news is it that makes us happy too!"

"It's pointless to talk to you about things you're not interested in."

"How do you know I'm not interested if you don't tell me?" Ni Jin was still really curious about why Yu Wei was so happy.

"Someone made a bet with me, and I'm sure I'll win. The wager is a set of martial arts novels. If I win, I'll treat you to breakfast."

When Ni Jin heard that it was a bet, and the stake was just a set of martial arts novels, he immediately lost interest.

"Alright then! Good luck!"

"I laugh triumphantly, I laugh triumphantly again," Yu Wei happily hummed Li Lifen's "Truly Laughing" (this song was released in 1993, but was moved to 1990 for plot purposes).

At 5:50 p.m., Yu Wei arrived at the guesthouse restaurant. He was familiar with the place; he had stayed there when he came to register and had eaten there several times.

Unexpectedly, Tang Yuan arrived earlier than him, and there were already three bottles of baijiu and more than a dozen bottles of beer on the table.

Oops! What does she mean by this? Is she trying to scare me?

It's well known that Qingjiang is famous for its wines, so most locals have a high alcohol tolerance and a unique drinking culture.

For example, bluffing, continuous, in pairs, everything goes smoothly, and everything goes well.

Today's performance looks like a bluff; this kind of tactic is mainly used to scare off opponents.

Generally speaking, when someone who isn't a big drinker encounters an opponent whose strength or weaknesses they don't know, they'll bring out a lot of alcohol to put pressure on their opponent.

If that doesn't work, then drink two bowls of wine with the other person to scare them off.

However, there are two drawbacks to using this trick. First, you must have a certain alcohol tolerance. Second, if the other person has a high alcohol tolerance, then this trick will be useless and you will end up getting yourself into trouble.

Yu Wei was very confident in his drinking capacity, and he was dismissive of Tang Yuan's tactic.

He sat down opposite Tangyuan with an air of authority.
