After Yu Zhou returned to her room, Yu Hanshan came in humming a little tune. Zhao smelled the stench of alcohol on him and frowned, "Why are you drinking with others again? Jinshu and Jinyan are about to take the provincial examination, and you don't even pay attention!"
Yu Hanshan was in a good mood. He didn't care about Zhao's grumbling and happily fell down on the bed.
The drinking party had just ended, and he took advantage of his drunkenness to wander towards the end of the village, where he happened to meet Li Xiu'e fetching water.

He also took the opportunity to touch her hand, which was soft, tender and smooth. Li Xiu'e's panic-stricken, shy and coquettish look was still echoing in Yu Hanshan's mind!

If it succeeds, our third room will be able to save some private money in the future, and we will have more money in our hands." Zhao put the change back into her purse and spoke to Yu Hanshan in a low voice.
