Perhaps finding Bai Zhongqi exceptionally easy to talk to, the young student pulled him over to a small stall by the road to continue chatting. Accompanying them were two of his classmates and comrades; it was only then that Bai Zhongqi clarified that this perpetually angry young student was named Pei Yanshi, and the other two classmates with him, the male student named Situ Cheng and the female student named Bao Qing.
As soon as Bai Zhongqi sat down, he expressed his apologies, "I left home in a hurry and didn't bring any money."
Situ Cheng, with a square face, shook his head with a smile, "It's rare for our Yanshi to find a new friend he enjoys talking to, treating Mister to a bowl of tofu pudding. Please don't feel bad about it."
Pei Yanshi also laughed, "Judging by your clothes and appearance, Mister must be much wealthier than us students. It's not like you're here to scrounge for food and drinks."
