"I want to keep going, I can still drink, I'm not convinced, none of you can leave, keep drinking."

After playing games for more than an hour, Zhao Jinquan and his friends finished their drinks and food and were about to leave when Da Kui suddenly got excited and grabbed Zhao Jinquan and Zheng Erqiang, preventing them from leaving.

Zhao Jinquan held the jar upside down for him to see, "The wine's gone, time to go back to sleep?"

Da Kui slurred, "No, keep going. I haven't had enough. You have to keep drinking."

Zhao Tianshan frowned: "This guy, is he drunk? Is he acting crazy?"

"Ji Xiurong, I like you so much, and you actually went to find that Sichuanese guy Yan Xiangli! I'm not having it! I've liked you for so many years, and I even told my mom that I was going to bring you back home this year. How am I supposed to go back home now? I'll lose all face!"

Looking at Da Kui's unsightly behavior, Feng Cheng asked, "How much did he drink?"

Zhao Jinquan said, "He doesn't know how to play even at least two jin (1 kg), but he's competitive and likes to smash things, so he drinks the most."

“Hey…hey…where are you going?” Just as Feng Cheng and Zhao Jinquan were talking, Da Kui suddenly got up from the stool and was about to walk outside.

Na Da Kui slurred, "I'm going to find Ji Xiurong. I'm going to ask him why he did this to me. After that, I'm going to find Yan Xiangli. I'm going to beat him up. How dare he steal my girlfriend? I can't swallow this anger if I don't beat him up."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Erqiang quickly grabbed him. If he were to enter Ji Xiurong's dormitory, that would be disastrous, as it was a girls' dormitory.

"Don't stop me! I'm going to get an explanation from Ji Xiurong today. I've been so good to her, so caring..."

Seeing this scene, Feng Cheng also had a headache. "Jin Quan, Lao Zhao, you two quickly stop him and take him back to the dormitory."

"it is good."

"Don't grab me, let me go! I need to find Ji Xiurong... find Ji Xiurong... Oh, and that guy Yan Xiangli too, Yan Xiangli... come out here, Yan Xiangli, come out here, let's fight one-on-one! If you're a man, come out here...! One-on-one..."

"What's wrong with Da Kui? He's drunk!"

Zhao Jinquan and the others helped the drunk Da Kui back to the dormitory. Meng Yue and Qin Xuemei were tidying up the desk when they couldn't help but say something.

Feng Cheng said, "His drinking manners are not good, but it's okay. He just yells a couple of times. If he were to actually hit someone, that would be a problem. He's that strong; most people couldn't hold him down."

"Hitting someone..." Meng Yue was a little shocked. "It can't be that serious!"

Feng Cheng glanced at him and said, "Some people are like this when they're drunk. They go crazy and beat people up. You just haven't seen it. Once you've seen it a lot, it won't be surprising."

"Do you do this when you're drunk?" Meng Yue asked curiously.

"I'm fine. I just sleep when I'm drunk, and so are Lao Zhao and Jin Quan. But we usually don't drink too much; we just drink until we're about right."

Meng Yue nudged Qin Xuemei, who was listening intently to the side, and smiled at her. Qin Xuemei was a little embarrassed by his gesture.

After a while, the group tidied up the tables, bowls, and chopsticks, and then left the cafeteria.

On his way back, Feng Cheng stopped by Da Kui's dormitory and ran into Zhao Tianshan, Zheng Erqiang, and Zhao Jinquan coming out of there.

"How did it go?" Feng Cheng asked.

Zhao Tianshan said, "I've already put him on the bed, but he's still a bit restless, whimpering. I've asked Sui Zhichao to watch him, and he should fall asleep in a little while."

Feng Cheng asked, "Where is Wu Yansheng? He didn't wake up even with all this commotion?"

"He's awake, but he's not responding at all. He just watches us mess around without offering to lend a hand or anything," Zhao Jinquan said, shaking his head. "This guy is no good. Last time he was drunk, Da Kui took such good care of him. Now that Da Kui is drunk, he's ignoring him?"

"Alright, enough of this nonsense. Go back to sleep. And next time, don't try to get Da Kui drunk. With his drinking habits, he'll cause trouble if he drinks too much."

"I won't force him to drink next time. It's such a hassle; I have to take care of him when he's drunk..."

The campsite was quite lively that night, but everyone had a great time. Although there were a few minor incidents, they didn't affect anyone's mood.

...

"What was that Da Kui howling about outside? I was just about to fall asleep when he woke me up again."

Ji Xiurong sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) wrapped in a quilt. When she saw Qin Xuemei and Meng Yue return, she immediately asked.

Meng Yue replied, "He said he was coming to find you and wanted an explanation for why you didn't get along with him and instead went to find Yan Xiangli. He even said he wanted to challenge Yan Xiangli to a duel."

Ji Xiurong asked nervously, "Did he go?"

Qin Xuemei replied, "He wanted to go, but he couldn't. The team leader and Zhao Jinquan carried him back to the dormitory. He's probably fast asleep on the kang now, so you don't need to worry."

"That's good, that's good," Ji Xiurong breathed a sigh of relief, then cursed, "That guy is just like that, he shows his true colors when he's drunk, I don't like him."

Qin Xuemei said, "This man is really no good. He gets out of control after a couple of drinks, and he's yelling and threatening to hit people. If you were his wife, you might get beaten up by him one day."

Meng Yue also said, "Ji Xiurong, you were right not to agree to be friends with him. He seems to have a bad temper, is a male chauvinist, and especially likes to solve problems with violence."

Ji Xiurong nodded in agreement, "I know his personality and temperament, that's why I don't date him! If he were half as good as Yan Xiangli, I might have agreed to be his girlfriend."

"Actually, many of the boys in our camp have good personalities. Captain Zhao, Feng Cheng, Sui Zhichao, and Zheng Erqiang are all easy-going people, much better than Da Kui."

"By the way, Shen Mengyin, how are things between you and Wu Yansheng? Have you officially started dating?"

When the topic of relationships between men and women came up, Ji Xiurong suddenly thought of Shen Mengyin and Wu Yansheng, and quickly asked.

Shen Mengyin said, "Not yet. I've hinted at it to him many times, but he just doesn't understand. I'm even thinking of confessing my feelings to him directly."

"This...you two have been together for almost two months now, and you still haven't defined your relationship? You're bringing him water and food every day, and helping him look after the forest land, this..."

Ji Xiurong was at a loss for words.

Meng Yue said, "Wu Yansheng probably still cares about Xuemei!"

Ji Xiurong said, "If you're so concerned about someone, why get so close to them? Thinking about that side while talking about this side, what kind of relationship is this? Are you planning to have multiple wives and concubines like in the old society? Shen Mengyin, are you willing to accept this kind of relationship?"

Shen Mengyin said, "Of course I wouldn't want to!"

Qin Xuemei said, "It has nothing to do with me. I have never been his girlfriend. Don't try to link me to him."

Upon hearing Qin Xuemei's words, Ji Xiurong immediately said to Shen Mengyin, "Shen Mengyin, you need to ask Wu Yansheng tomorrow what he really means. If he agrees, then commit to the relationship; if he doesn't agree, then refuse. What's the point of keeping him hanging like this? He's enjoying your care, but he's thinking about someone else. Isn't that playing with his feelings?"

Qin Xuemei silently made the bed. She had already rejected Wu Yansheng, so she didn't want to pay attention to his affairs. She was afraid that if she showed concern, Wu Yansheng would cling to her like before, which would make her very distressed, because she already had someone she liked.
