"They've all gone home," Qi Si replied wistfully, as expected.

"Fourth Brother, why don't you go back to sleep too? What if you get drunk outside?" Qin Xiaoyu kindly advised.

"I'll just walk around outside, get drunk as far as I can, and if I freeze to death, so be it." Qi Si staggered away.

"Don't go, Fourth Brother, I need to go into the school to get something. It's dark inside, and I'm scared. Come in and keep me company for a bit."

Qin Xiaoyu didn't know why she told such a lie; she just didn't want Qi Si to really be wandering the streets alone. She had experienced loneliness herself and knew what it felt like, so she couldn't bear to see others suffer the same pain.

"Women like you shouldn't come if you're too cowardly," Qi Si sneered, but still followed along.

Upon entering the school, Qin Xiaoyu led him into the office. She first looked at the thermos, where the water temperature was just right. She brewed a pot of tea, brought it over, poured a cup, and handed it to Qi Si.

"What are you doing? Trying to sober me up?" Qi Si looked at her warily.

"Drinking too much is bad for your health," Qin Xiaoyu said with a grin, encouragingly raising her glass to signal Qi Si to drink.

"If you're so kind, have a drink with me." Qi Si didn't drink the tea, but slammed the wine bottle heavily on the table. His voice was full of melancholy, making it impossible for anyone to refuse.

"But I don't drink alcohol. I'll just have tea with you." Qin Xiaoyu felt that Qi Si had a story, but she didn't want to ask too much, so she could only sit opposite him.

"You've heard, haven't you? I've killed people," Qi Si asked, his eyes lowered.

"Ah, this..." Qin Xiaoyu's legs went a little weak. She remembered a saying: "Those who do evil will not live." She had really courted death.
