Lu Ping saw that he had finally realized it, and couldn't help but laugh. "Serves you right. Who told you to keep having your cousin take you out to eat and drink so lavishly on the way here? I didn't expect you to be the first one to chicken out."
Shan Ke'an replied, "Let's not point fingers at each other. So, how was it? Meeting a fellow townsman today must have been pretty good! Otherwise, you wouldn't have chatted so late."
Lu Ping said, "He's not bad. Besides, he is the top scholar of Dao City this time, and practically a guaranteed scholar."
Shan Ke'an wasn't stupid. "He only entered the academy a day earlier than us, yet he's treated differently by Mr. Nan. It shows he's quite extraordinary. I didn't expect you, who usually looks so dense, to actually have a decent eye for people."
"You're the dense one," Lu Ping retorted. He didn't think Shan Ke'an had the patience to wait for him here for nothing. "Just say it! What's your purpose in waiting for me?"
