Capítulo 93: 093
"I've learned. Let's do as you say, Brother Feng, and make contact with Boss Ning first." Wang Tie nodded.
Yi Feng smiled and said, "Yeah, in a few days we'll go to Dianke Building. If we can negotiate on our own, it's best not to find Boss Ning. It's not good to owe favors."
The two chatted about going to Dianke Building while eating.
After finishing the meal, Yi Feng asked Wang Tie to buy three cans of beer and a can of juice.
Wang Tie bought the drinks back and helped Yi Feng and Han Ping'an open the pull tabs.
Yi Feng picked up a beer and said with a smile, "Here, Wang Tie, Ping'an, let's celebrate our graduation!"
"Let's do it, we're all adults now, and we've all graduated. From now on, we won't have to worry about being caught when drinking!"
Wang Tie grinned, it might not be his first time drinking since he had sneaked a few drinks with Yi Feng before, but now they could drink openly.
"Here, Brother Feng, I toast to you!"
"Big brother Feng, happy graduation~" Han Nannan mimicked her big brother, trying to clink glasses with her drink but had to stand on her toes because her hands weren't long enough.
Her struggle to clink glasses amused all three of them.
The small shop was filled with joyful laughter, gradually merging into the night outside.
…
After having their fill of food and drink, Yi Feng and Wang Tie moved two chairs outside the shop to continue drinking and chatting.
Wang Tie, not often drinking, had his face flushed to the neck after three cans, showing a slight drunken state.
Yi Feng slumped in his chair, gazing into the pitch-black night sky, lost in thought.
"Wang Tie, if, I mean if we weren't opening a shop, where would you go after graduation?"
Wang Tie was taken aback, not knowing why Yi Feng would ask such a question.
"Maybe… I would go back to my mom's hometown. My family's gambler often comes back for money, and my mom planned to go back to her hometown to avoid him after my graduation."
Wang Tie laughed at himself, "Sometimes, I really don't want to admit that gambler is my dad."
Yi Feng suddenly had a realization, no wonder… it was so hard to contact him before.
But… all that has changed.
"Does your dad still come to ask you for money?" Yi Feng turned and asked.
"Yeah, he came back once before the college entrance exam, and I gave him three hundred yuan to send him away," Wang Tie said with a bitter smile.
Yi Feng frowned, "I didn't hear you mention it. Didn't I say, if he dares to come back for money, you should come directly to me!"
Wang Tie's face showed guilt, he replied in a low voice, "Brother Feng, it was right before the college entrance exam, I… I was afraid of affecting your exam. If anything happened that affected your exam, I wouldn't be able to live with myself."
Yi Feng sighed, probably guessing his thoughts, but if this issue isn't resolved, Wang Tie will always be constrained by his gambler father.
Wang Tie's expression darkened, filled with distress and frustration.
He tilted his head back and took another swig of beer, trying to drown his sorrows with alcohol.
Yi Feng pulled out a pack of soft Zhonghua cigarettes from his pocket, shook one out, and offered it to him, "Want one?"
Wang Tie unhesitatingly took the cigarette and lighter.
"Click."
The lighter ignited the cigarette, and Wang Tie clumsily took a big drag.
"Cough, cough, cough—"
The strong smoke made him cough continuously, tears streaming out.
"Cough, cough! So choking! I'm dying!"
This was his first time smoking.
Yi Feng chuckled, "Who told you to take such a big drag?"
"Take it slow, some things can't be rushed, you'll get there eventually."
With that, he also lit a cigarette, slowly took a puff, and skillfully blew a smoke ring.
The dim street light made his face blurry through the smoke.
Wang Tie, imitating Yi Feng, slowly took a drag and finally got used to it, shaking his head and laughing, "This thing… really relieves stress."
"Brother Feng."
"Hmm?"
"Thank you, for giving me a hand."
"We're brothers, it's what I should do."
Yi Feng flicked the ash, looked at Wang Tie, who seemed to have grown a lot while smoking.
"If he comes back for money again, you must tell me. I'll help you."
Wang Tie's eyes teared up, gratefully said, "Brother Feng, I know."
Yi Feng patted his shoulder, comforting, "What are you crying for? A man does not easily shed tears."
Wang Tie wiped away his tears, showing a simple smile, "Hehe, okay, I'll listen to you."
"By the way, my mom has always said she wants to invite you over when you have time. She says you've helped me so much, and we haven't invited you back for a meal yet."
"She's been nagging me about it."
"I've been saying I'm busy with the college entrance exam recently, but she wouldn't listen."
Yi Feng laughed, "Let's wait until we're done with the opening, then we'll celebrate at your house after the official opening."
Wang Tie was overjoyed, "Really? That's great, I'll ask my mom to cook a delicious meal!"
"Let's talk about it then. By the way, Wang Tie, what major do you want to study in college?" Yi Feng suddenly asked.
Wang Tie scratched his head, looking perplexed, "To be honest, I don't know what to study… You know, Brother Feng, I've never been ambitious."
"I don't know what job I can do in the future."
Yi Feng shook his head, this was indeed a confusion many examinees faced.
After the college entrance exam, they need to choose their majors, but many don't know what they want to study.
Without a clear future goal, they fall into confusion, eventually following their family's or relatives' advice to choose a major they know nothing about.
They spend four years in college aimlessly, either unemployed upon graduation or switching careers.
Yi Feng didn't want Wang Tie to end up like this; he should have a better future, but the choice was up to him.
What Yi Feng could do was to guide him slightly, hoping he would find his life's goal.
"Wang Tie, think about it before you go to sleep when you get back."
"Think about what kind of person you want to be in the next ten years."
"Maybe you'll find the answer yourself." Yi Feng smiled.
Wang Tie nodded seriously, "Brother Feng, I'll think about it carefully!"
"Come on, let's drink." Yi Feng raised his beer.
They clinked glasses and drank up.
…
At 10 p.m., Yi Feng returned
home. Just as he turned on the room light, there was a "thud thud" sound at the window.
Pulling back the curtains, he saw Gu Muxi, still awake, standing behind the window in her nightgown, the night breeze blowing her flowing black hair, like a sprite of the night.
"Yi Feng, why are you back so late? Where have you been enjoying yourself?"
Yi Feng chuckled, leaning on the window, "What, you missed me already?"
Gu Muxi arrogantly lifted her chin, "Hmph~ who misses you? I'm just performing my supervisory duties. Don't forget, auntie gave me the right to monitor you!"
"So, the Inspector General is not sleeping late at night, waiting for me to come back?" Yi Feng saw through her.
Gu Muxi's cheeks flushed, she turned her head away, "Hehe, I, I, I just couldn't sleep!"
Suddenly, at this moment, two thumb-sized cockroaches flew in from outside the window into Yi Feng's room, startling him.
"Damn! Such big cockroaches!"
The cockroaches in Guangxi City, known scientifically as the American cockroach, are two to three times larger than ordinary cockroaches!
"Cockroaches? Where are the cockroaches? Let me kill it!" Gu Muxi shouted excitedly.
Yi Feng: "(;?＿?)..."
