After he finished speaking, he looked around, and the others quickly shook their heads. When it came to the few who had just arrived today, they also shook their heads. Their thinking was simple: since they had just arrived today and didn't know anything, following the group was always the right thing to do.

It was only then that Gu Bin realized that the three people who had been so dramatic earlier were now watching the spectacle with great interest. They hadn't even bothered to pack their luggage, leaving it scattered around, and were all engrossed in watching the show!

You wouldn't guess from how half-dead he looked on the road! He's full of energy!

It seems that Xie Yan is the only one who is truly half-dead. With all the commotion outside, he's been staying inside without coming out. No way! I'll go check on him later; I hope he hasn't fainted inside!

After all, they came from the same place. In this unfamiliar place, Xie Yan was his only fellow townsman!

Oh, Brother Xie! You're all show and no substance! You look tall and strong, a real catch, but I never expected you to be so weak!

After he finished expressing his gratitude for the banquet, he looked back into the room and found that it had been turned into a cabinet for searching Ruan Yingchun's belongings. Liu Yihong was still there too!

The cabinets, which had already been searched once, were thoroughly searched again. He looked around from the outside and felt that the room was a mess!

Of course, nothing was found, but Ruan Yingchun on the other end was already crying uncontrollably!

Anyway, things are in complete chaos inside right now. Wan Chun'er is convinced that Ruan Yingchun stole something, but after searching several times, there's nothing there. They even dug up the rat holes that were blocking them, but there was still nothing!

Ruan Yingchun cried and threatened to die to prove her innocence! Several people were pulling and tugging at her! Gu Bin didn't go any further inside. After all, it was a female educated youth's room, and as a grown man, he should know to avoid suspicion.

Before long, they started arguing again about changing dorms. The two of them had already gotten to this point, so shouldn't they change dorms?

Who knows what Wan Chun'er was thinking, but she immediately realized that Ruan Yingchun had secretly taken the things out and hidden them!

That's why I'm thinking of changing dorms now! It's so that it'll be easier to bring my things back later and say I bought them myself!

The fight escalated to the point where the two started physically fighting! They were pulling hair and kicking each other; it was so intense that Gu Bin felt a pain in his scalp! He hadn't expected this seemingly delicate girl to be so fierce in a fight!

In the end, this farce still resulted in a change of dormitories. Fortunately, the three newly arrived educated youths were relocated, with two living on this side and one on the other. The room on the other side was larger, with two kang beds on each side! It wouldn't be crowded even if four people lived there! Although this side only had one kang bed, it was large enough to comfortably accommodate three people.

Seeing Wan Chun'er's formidable fighting prowess, Shen Lijuan was so frightened that she immediately took her luggage and ran to the next room, leaving Wang Hongmei and Yuzhen, who had been delayed by watching the commotion, to stay there instead.

They both secretly regretted that they were too slow and someone else had taken the opportunity!

Ugh! Watching the excitement really gets in the way of getting things done!

Xie Yan woke up the next day hungry, really hungry. She looked outside and saw that it was only slightly bright. Based on Xie Yan's years of experience in checking the weather, it should be around 5 o'clock or a little after 5 o'clock!

He rolled over, wanting to sleep a little longer since he knew getting up now would disturb others, but alas, he was just too hungry! So uncomfortable!

After holding on for a while, hunger finally defeated everything. Xie Yan quietly got up, not daring to make any big movements. Using the light coming in from the window, he got out of bed, put on his shoes, fumbled for his luggage, opened the door, and quietly went out.

When I opened the door, I did it so carefully that I didn't dare to breathe. Luckily, the two people sleeping soundly in bed weren't disturbed!

The sky outside was already beginning to lighten, in the pre-dawn stage. Xie Yan looked up at the cloudless sky and thought that today would definitely be a good day! Perfect for going out to do some shopping.

He first went to the kitchen and saw that there was still water in the water tank. He breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness! Otherwise, where would he have gone to find water?

She fetched water to brush her teeth and wash her face, then quickly opened her bag and took out the scallion pancakes! The aroma was so enticing, Xie Yan couldn't help but swallow hard; they smelled amazing!

Because of the weather, black spots had started to appear on the scallion pancakes, but Xie Yan didn't care at all. In this day and age, what hadn't he eaten? So what if there were a few black spots? He had eaten pancakes with mold on them, peeling off the outer layer!

There's also the story from their past life about sprouted potatoes being poisonous and inedible. Yet, every winter, their family would remove the sprouts and continue eating them. They'd eat anything to survive, anything was better than starving. (Important note: Please don't do this! Sprouted potatoes really are poisonous. They only ate them because they were so poor and had no other choice but to.)

The scallion pancakes I thought tasted awful on the train before, now Xie Yan thinks they're absolutely delicious! Oh my god! They're so good, how can there be such a delicious thing as scallion pancakes in the world!

It's just an ordinary scallion pancake, but when a person is hungry, everything tastes like a delicacy.

Xie Yan ate too quickly and choked. He patted his chest, ran to the kitchen, scooped up a spoonful of water, and drank it down.

Sitting on the steps by the door, Xie Yan ate five pancakes in a row before he felt his stomach was full, the feeling of weakness in his body slowly disappeared, and he regained his energy!

Xie Yan found everything beautiful at that moment! He even thought the thatched huts where the educated youth had lived were so pretty and had such a vintage feel.

I couldn't help but wonder if the humble dwelling in Liu Yuxi's "Inscription of a Humble Abode" was like this! The steps and corners here are also covered with moss, which looks cute and fuzzy.

While Xie Yan was looking at the sky and the ground, lost in thought, the others gradually got up!

Gu Bin opened the door and was startled to see Xie Yan sitting there! "Oh my god! Xie Yan, what are you doing sitting here?"

Xie Yan turned around and saw Gu Bin with his messy hair. She burst out laughing, and then said, "Me? I'm so hungry, I'm going to get up and find something to eat!"

As Gu Bin walked, he ran his fingers through his hair. “You must be hungry. You went to bed so early yesterday and didn’t eat anything. Not to mention you didn’t eat much on the train either. I was so scared of you last night. I was afraid you would faint. But Liu Yihong said you were breathing evenly and must have fallen asleep from exhaustion, so I didn’t wake you! You don’t know, you were so pale yesterday, it was quite frightening!”

"However, you look much better today. Have you recovered?"

Xie Yan smiled and nodded, "Yes, I was carsick, that's why I felt like that. I slept it off and I'm completely fine now, so thank you anyway!"
