Gu Changfeng sipped his tea and said, "Don't say anything like 'disturbing,' we're all family."
"Don't go back. There's a small room. I'll clean it up. Bai Ying and Wan Wan can stay there, and you and Lu Feng can squeeze in."
As Xu Zhang spoke, he stood up and instructed Lu Feng and Bai Qi, "You two go and fetch some firewood to heat the kang (heated brick bed). Bai Ying, you two come and help me too. No one has lived in this house for a long time."
The three of them quickly tidied up the house, and Bai Qi and Lu Feng also lit the kang (a heated brick bed).
After adding firewood, Bai Qi stood up and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you tonight, but you'll have to squeeze in with me."
Lu Feng glanced at him sideways, "Then I'll have to trouble Commander Bai."
Lin Wanwan seemed quite excited; she hadn't even shared a bed with her girlfriends since arriving in this world.

"They've hit it off? Is Qin Zining pretty?"
"She's not as pretty as you, and she's wicked."
"That's right, I'm definitely prettier than her."
“After she got together with my brother, she never went back to Shanghai and lived at Qin Ziyi’s house. She often came to our house, saying that she would cook for my brother and me, but actually every time she came, she made me do the cooking, laundry, and other things. I was only 17 years old at the time, and my brother couldn’t bear to let me do these things.”
