This time, Li Xin deliberately kept it a secret from his friend. Instead, he pulled him to the curious father and son who had stopped in their tracks earlier because of their voices and were staring at them with curiosity.
He generously bought the old man's candied hawthorn stall and placed a whole bundle of candied hawthorns in the father's hand.
"Thank you for making me realize something. This candied hawthorn is on you."
...
Facing each other, the father and son saw two young men who looked like they came from wealthy families. He stared blankly as one of the young men put the candied hawthorn that his son had just picked out, along with the whole straw bundle of the candied hawthorn, into his hand.

Many people suspected that Luo Jie and Li Xin had lost their minds, but only Luo Jie and Li Xin looked at those "fools" with pride and disdain.
"Ha, what do those 'fools' know? Once they've studied hard, they can use those grades to fool the old man. It'll be a piece of cake."
