When it was time to sleep at night, the girls slept in Huang Yiyi's room and another guest room. There were no extra rooms, so the boys had to sleep on the floor in the living room or the study.

Huang Ma found all the spare quilts, but there were still two short. "Oh dear, what should we do? There won't be enough for everyone to sleep on."

"Should I borrow two beds from the neighbors next door?" Mr. Huang asked as he walked over.

Cheng Zhi came over when she heard the noise and realized that there weren't enough blankets, so she pointed to the car outside and said, "That's perfect, we have two blankets in the car too."

Mr. and Mrs. Huang were amazed. They had always thought the children had come back in a minivan, which was already full with nine people inside. How could they have fit two blankets in there?

Cheng Zhi smiled and shook her head, "Uncle and Aunt, what we have is a motorhome, the kind of vehicle with a bed, a table, and even a bathroom."

Huang Yiyi's parents had only heard of this kind of car before, but this was the first time they had ever seen one. They were incredibly excited and wanted to go inside their car to take a look.

Why not? Cheng Zhi grabbed the car keys and took the two of them upstairs.

Seeing that the car was packed like a small house, Huang Ma exclaimed, "With this car, I won't feel tired even on long trips. I can lie down and rest anytime."

Sitting in his chair, Mr. Huang asked, "Zhizhi, where did you get this car? Does it belong to your parents, or to the boys?"

"..." Actually, none of that is true. They clearly took the car secretly, but they certainly couldn't say it so openly. Yangzhou has such good public security. If they openly admitted to stealing something, they might really get caught and taken to the police station.

Since her parents weren't there, Cheng Zhi said the car belonged to them.

The three of them packed up the blankets and carried them home. The boys had already laid out their things in the living room, ready to go to sleep in a little while.

Actually, the boys originally wanted to stay in the study, since the study is definitely more airtight than the living room and would be a little warmer. But they also brought a French fry, and they couldn't let the French fry sleep alone in the living room.

Although Huang's parents said they didn't mind, they still felt it wasn't a good idea. After all, dogs can go crazy and no one can stop them, so it's safer for them to sleep in the living room.

Cheng Zhi walked over carrying a quilt, glanced at their quilt, and then looked at the floor-to-ceiling window connecting the living room and the balcony.

After entering the room, they came out again after a short while and gave each of them a few heat packs. "Put these on to warm up first, and take them off when they're warm. You can't sleep with these on."

The four boys nodded in thanks.

Cheng Zhi brought this just in time. Shen Lingfeng quickly opened it and stuck it on the cold soles of his feet. "The girls really have a lot of amazing things in their bags. Square bags and hand warmers are really bizarre!"

Lu Yuan also agreed with this statement. He tore off a piece of the bag, folded it in half, and made it into a hand warmer. "So there's a reason why girls' bags are so heavy. If they didn't prepare these things, our lives would definitely be more difficult than they are now."

Looking at the few hand warmers in his hand, Qi Yanche, who was usually quiet, joined the discussion, "They should be considered our saviors. They have helped us many times. Without their help, we might have already died in Xiashan."

On the other side, Chen Yiyi had already lay down, staring at the ceiling, and said, "The fortune teller said I would meet a benefactor this year, but I didn't believe it at first. Now I'm starting to believe it. Cheng Zhi and the others are our benefactors, aren't they?"

Upon hearing that it was a fortune teller who said it, Lu Yuan rolled his eyes speechlessly and asked Chen Yiyi if it was the old man at the school gate who always sat down with an umbrella and a small stool to tell people's palms.

"How did you know? It's that old man. Did you also have your fortune told by him?" Chen Yiyi replied.

Lu Yuan shook his head. He was a staunch atheist and didn't believe in these things. "Dude, he's a fraud. He's a fortune teller today and a banana seller tomorrow. Don't you know that? Even the confession wall has been exposed as fake."

Chen Yiyi, who had wasted 30 yuan: "..." Why did he only realize this now!

Upon learning that he had spent 30 yuan, Shen Lingfeng mercilessly mocked, "College students' money is so easy to be swindled. No wonder the old man sets up a stall at the school gate. I might as well tell palms at the school gate after I graduate. That way, I can make money and touch the hands of pretty girls at the same time. Just thinking about it makes me happy."

"..."

After finishing his joke, Qi Yanche turned to look at Lu Yuan and Shen Lingfeng, "We've arrived in Yangzhou. When are you planning to go see your parents?"

"We'll go first thing tomorrow morning." Shen Lingfeng and Lu Yuan had already agreed on this. Their homes were both in the west of Yangzhou, so they planned to travel together.

They've returned home, but what about Qi Yanche and Chen Yiyi? One of them has no home, and the other's parents are abroad, so they can't go there anytime soon.

Shen Lingfeng and Lu Yuan, who were roommates, were still very worried. "Why don't you come with us for now, and then make your own plans after the reconstruction?"

This seemed to be the best solution, but Qi Yanche and Chen Yiyi didn't want to do it that way. How could they eat and drink for free and stay at someone else's house? They couldn't bring themselves to do it.

Seeing that the two of them were silent, Shen Lingfeng got anxious and slapped Qi Yanche, "Hey, do you understand that it's just a temporary stay? It's not like you're staying here forever. What's there to be embarrassed about? If you're really embarrassed, just bring me food a few more times after school starts."

Lu Yuan also kicked Chen Yiyi, "It's just a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks. My family can afford to support you, and we can easily support another Yan Ge. My parents don't mind having two more sons."

Qi Yanche seemed lost in thought for a long time before turning to them and saying, "Do you remember the question we discussed with the girls before? If things can never get better, I can't stay at your house forever. Even if we're thousands of miles apart, I'll still go to my parents."

It seems everyone has their own goals, but Chen Yiyi is all alone in this world. He sighed and said, "Although I have no family, you don't need to worry about me. I came from an orphanage. In the future, my country will definitely need me. I will find my own goals."

Seeing these two stubborn people, Shen Lingfeng and Lu Yuan didn't know what to say.

Shen Lingfeng patted the two of them on the shoulders, "Since you have your own ideas, then go for it. But if you get tired and don't want to do it anymore, remember to come back and find us."

For some reason, these words made Chen Yiyi feel a little teary-eyed; perhaps this is what it means to see true friendship in times of trouble.
