After a cup of tea, the waiter came back with a pot of water in his hand. After knocking on the door and getting permission from the tenant, he came in and poured water into the pot on the table:

"Sir, this is the hot water provided by our shop for free. If you don't have enough, you can ask me to add more for you."

He finished pouring the water and wiped the table with the rag on his shoulder.

Chu Qi signaled the waiter to pay attention to the little creature in the corner, "Is that cat your inn's pet?"

The waiter was stunned, looked carefully, and shook his head:

"No, we don't keep cats in our inn. Maybe it's a wild cat from outside. Strange, how did it get in? Sir, do you want me to help drive it out?"

He rolled up his sleeves and pretended to lift them up.

"No need, just let it stay."

Chu Qi refused.

"Okay, I'll leave first. Remember to call me if you need anything. I'm on the first floor."

The waiter said.

.

.....

The cat stayed for about an hour before leaving.

At dinner time the next day, Chu Qi went out to eat a bowl of vegetarian noodles, and then went to the county magistrate of Zhang County to register for the examination.

The registration period for the college entrance examination is ten days, and the registration deadline is the fifth day before the examination.

Next, all I have to do is wait patiently for the final exam.

I thought the days would be peaceful, but unexpectedly, on the second to last day of the examination, Zhang Shiyang found the inn that Chu Qi rented without knowing where.

He came up to her with eager eyes and said that he was wrong to have mocked Chu Qi last time and that he wanted to apologize to Chu Qi.

He held a gourd of wine in his hand and said it was his apology gift to Chu Qi.

Wine in Qianchao is not cheap, but not very expensive either. A gourd costs about six cents.

Inside the inn.

Room 5 on the third floor.

Zhang Shiyang stood at the door with a very sincere expression.

Hidden beneath the sincere expression is a hidden heart that cannot be revealed.

The veins on his hand that was holding the wine gourd were faintly visible.
