Chapter 414

This restaurant's efficiency in serving dishes was quite fast.

Before long, all the food and drinks everyone ordered were served.

Everyone ate and drank while chatting about interesting things on their respective university campuses or reminiscing about their high school days.

Compared to the dull and tedious high school life, university life was naturally more rich and colorful.

However, for some reason, even though only half a year had passed, it already made people unable to help but miss that period of time before the college entrance exam.

A few boys who couldn't hold their liquor well were already tipsy without realizing it; they became talkative, their faces flushed as they rambled on, and they even let out some secrets they had kept in their hearts.

For example, one boy told the heartbreaking story of how he pursued a senior in university and was rejected by her.

From time to time, someone would hold up a cup and come over to toast Li Yanwang.

Li Yanwang would tell everyone to drink less, but he didn't drink any less himself.

Fortunately, Old Li's tolerance was decent, so he didn't ramble incoherently like those few boys who were already drunk, which would have ruined his image as a stern teacher.

They added some more food and drinks in the middle, and they ate from five-something until eight o'clock; the first gathering of everyone after graduation came to a very pleasant end.

They hadn't been in university for long, so everyone hadn't experienced the big dyeing vat of society yet, and there hadn't been any major changes.

A few years from now, when some people start to become realistic and no longer so simple, such class reunions might not be this pleasant anymore.

The class monitor, Mu Nan, was responsible for settling the bill, and everyone would split it later.

Li Yanwang had originally wanted to rush to pay the bill, but the students firmly refused, and a few boys blocked him from going to the cashier.

Although the consumption at this restaurant wasn't high, with so many people, it still cost one or two thousand yuan, which was equivalent to more than half a month of Old Li's salary.

The group walked out of the restaurant in a grand procession, and a few boys who had drunk too much and were walking unsteadily were supported by others with their arms around their shoulders.

Once the cold night wind blew, the effects of the alcohol felt like they dissipated quite a bit.

"Everyone go back in groups, don't linger on the road. Boys who are going the same way, try to see the girls home, and those who are further away should take a taxi."

Li Xueping commanded loudly.

"Got it!!"

Everyone responded in unison.

Afterward, the students said their goodbyes to each other and went home in twos and threes.

"Tian Ge, Zhang Peng, I'm slipping away first. Let's go to the internet cafe to play games another day."

Qian Sheng looked at Li Yanwang over there and said goodbye to the two in a low voice.

Qin Tian nodded with amusement.

"You're too much of a noob, who would play with you!"

Zhang Peng said with a look of disdain.

"Get lost, I'm very good at mid-lane now. I'll solo you another day and crush you."

Qian Sheng glared at him, unconvinced.

"You? Forget it!"

"Then see you at the internet cafe tomorrow, and I'll let you know how powerful my mid-lane god-slayer is."

"Like I'm afraid of you!"

"Hehe, leaving now!"

Qian Sheng gave a disdainful laugh, turned around, and walked away quickly.

"Teacher Li!"

Zhang Peng shouted out of the blue.

Qian Sheng stopped in his tracks, and an ominous premonition welled up in his heart.

Li Yanwang, who had just arranged for a boy to send two girls home together, heard the voice and looked over.

"Qian Sheng said he wants to go to the internet cafe to play games and doesn't want to come to you for tutoring."

Zhang Peng snitched loudly.

On the side, Qin Tian, Xia Nuannuan, and the others were dumbfounded.

Li Yanwang frowned and glared at Qian Sheng with a blank expression.

Qian Sheng turned his head with a stiff smile and said with a dry laugh: "Teacher Li, don't listen to his nonsense. Tomorrow is the Little New Year; I'll come find you after the Little New Year."

"You said it yourself. If you don't come, I'll go visit your house."

Li Xueping nodded and said.

Hearing this, the smile on Qian Sheng's face became even more forced, and he nodded heavily: "Definitely, definitely!"

Li Yanwang waved his hand, signaling that he could go back.

Qian Sheng turned and walked away with long strides, and after he had walked some distance, his voice drifted back.

"Zhang Peng, you jerk, it's truly against the laws of heaven that any girl could take a fancy to you."

"You idiot, go study hard!"

Zhang Peng retorted loudly.

Qian Sheng didn't look back and held his right arm high, giving him the middle finger.

"Truly two idiots!"

Qin Tian shook his head and complained.

"Agreed!"

Liao Juan nodded in agreement.

Xia Nuannuan, who was beside him, couldn't help but laugh out loud as she listened to the two of them going back and forth.

The next morning, Qin Tian was still having a beautiful dream in his warm quilt when he was startled awake by urgent knocking and his mother's roar.

"Knock, knock, knock!!"

"Still sleeping? What time is it? Get up immediately!"

"Mom, what are you doing? It's the holidays now, can't I even sleep in?"

Qin Tian complained with a speechless face.

"It's past nine, and you're still sleeping? Do you know what day it is today? Get up quickly and help clean. The whole house needs a deep cleaning inside and out. Do you want your mother to do it all by myself?"

Tang Xiuxia scolded him unceremoniously.

"It's only past nine, let me sleep a little longer, wake me up at ten-thirty."

Qin Tian turned over with his back to the door, making a gesture as if to continue sleeping.

"Sleep your head! If you don't get up, I'm coming in to lift the quilt!"

"No, no, no, I'll get up, okay!"

"Hurry up, don't fall back asleep the moment I leave."

"Got it, got it, I'm up."

Qin Tian sighed helplessly and sat up while yawning.

In fact, he had gotten enough sleep, but in the middle of winter, a warm quilt had a kind of magic that made it impossible to break free.

Of course, if there were a Nuannuan inside, it would be even harder to get up.

He slowly got dressed and got up, then went to wash his face and brush his teeth.

Today was the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Little New Year, which is usually regarded as the beginning of the busy season for the New Year. On this day, people would go to buy New Year goods, do a deep cleaning, offer sacrifices to the Kitchen God, and prepare to have a clean and happy New Year.

In most regions of the north, the twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month is the Little New Year.

"Hurry up, you're a grown man, does it take half an hour to wash your face? Don't dawdle, hurry up!"

Tang Xiuxia's urging voice came over again.

"Oh..."

Qin Tian wiped his face with a hot towel and responded listlessly.

During the first few days after he came home, he was still a treasure; not only did no one urge him to get up in the morning, but there was also breakfast waiting for him after he got up.

After a few days passed, the treasure turned into a blade of grass, and now it was gradually developing into a puddle of mud.

However, this could be considered the universal status quo for all university students returning home for winter and summer breaks.

When you don't go home, your parents call you "treasure" this and "treasure" that, urging you to come home.

Once you actually go home and lie around like a corpse for a few days, your parents might have already packed your luggage and urged you to hurry back to school, so as not to stay at home and be an eyesore.

"Breakfast is on the table in the front hall, finish eating quickly and come over to do some work."

Tang Xiuxia was wiping dust off the wall with a rag and gave her son, who had just walked out, a look of disdain.

"Oh!"

Qin Tian nodded helplessly and headed toward the front room.

"Don't be lazy and sluggish, hurry up!"

"Yes!!"

After eating breakfast, Qin Tian began the deep cleaning of the house with his mother.
