The Pentium Era - South to North

The hotel was renovated from a two-story farmer's house. There used to be a courtyard and a courtyard wall in front of the door. Now that the courtyard wall has been demolished, the courtyard is connected to the mountainous forest outside, making it feel more spacious.

In the open space in front of the door, there is a wooden table four or five meters long on one side, and three square tables on the other side. There are more than a dozen people sitting around the long table on that side, but there are three square tables here. Two empty ones.

The tables here are all made of logs and have been painted with varnish on the outside. They look very rustic. The stools are also benches made of logs. Two or three people can share one stool.

Looking southward, she looked to both sides. Some of the people eating on both sides were also looking towards her. She walked southward through the open space in front of the door and walked into the house. In the house, even the original layout had not been changed. There was a hall in front and two side rooms on both sides. , there are four or five small square tables in each room, only the one in front of the hall has a round table, and no one is sitting on it.

Xiang Nan wondered if this was the round table for their group gathering, and he had come early?

She rushed south all the way here, but when she got here, she was confused and didn't know who she should look for.

A waiter saw her standing here stupidly and came over to ask her who ordered the meal. Xiang Nan was speechless for a moment and thought to herself, how do I know? I don't even know the names of those people. How do I know that they are? Who ordered it.

While Xiang Nan was hemming and hawing in embarrassment, someone behind him asked, "Are you a cat?"

Xiang Nan quickly turned around and saw a man in his twenties or nineteen years old standing behind her. Xiang Nan nodded: "You are..."

"I'm Zhe," the man said, "We were outside, and I saw you walking in, so I thought it might be you. Let's go."

"Oh, thank you."

Xiang Nan said and hurriedly followed him out. Only then did he realize that the group of people sitting at the long table were the Qi Pa Cong.

People at the table watched "Zhe" leading a girl towards them. Everyone stood up. Someone asked curiously: "Is this a cat? So beautiful?"

"Zhe" led Xiang Nan closer and said to everyone, "This is a cat."

Everyone said welcome, and a short, fat, round-faced woman waved towards the south:

"Cat, come sit here with me and stay away from these perverts."

Someone immediately cursed: "Aren't you afraid of being raped by you?"

Xiang Nan walked over and sat down next to the woman. The woman said to Xiang Nan, "I am the 'little goblin'."

Xiang Nan was slightly surprised. He felt that this name did not match this person. The "little goblin" seemed to know what Xiang Nan was thinking and asked:

"Isn't it different? Should I be called 'Little Apple'? You've never seen such a round 'little fairy', right?"

Xiang Nan burst into laughter and quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, I thought you were so fierce in the group, but now I see..."

"Not gentle either." The "little fairy" chuckled.

"Okay, let me introduce you to everyone first. You all know each other. Only the cat is new."

"Zhe" began to introduce Xiangnan one by one. He introduced one person, and Xiangnan smiled and nodded at that person, connecting their online names with real people.

Among the people at this table, except Xiang Nan, there are only three women, one is "Little Fairy", one is "Sisi", and the other is "Yesterday Breeze", but everyone only calls her "Breeze". There is a guy named "Stapler's Dad" who is just called "Stapler", and there is also a guy whose online name is "The Lonely Captain", but everyone just calls him "Captain".

Even though they are already acquaintances, they always refer to each other by their online names. From the moment Xiangnan sat down, everyone called her "Old Cat."

"Old Mao, are you an actor?" "Sisi" sitting opposite her kept staring at her. After "Zhe" finished the introduction, she suddenly asked.

Xiang Nan was startled and said quickly: "No, no."

"Hey, Sisi, when you say that, I think the old cat looks like an actor." said the "little fairy".

"No, it's really not." Xiang Nan quickly denied.

"That's wrong, who are you and that person on the Internet..." "Sisi" tilted her head, thinking hard.

"Is it Xiang Nan?" Xiang Nan asked, "Many people say that I look like her."

"Sisi" said it right: "Xiangnan, Feng Xiangnan, they are exactly the same. Are you really not her?"

"How could I be her?" Xiang Nan smiled, "I'm from school."

"Are you a teacher?" "Yesterday Breeze" said, "What a coincidence, so am I."

"I'm not a teacher, I'm an administrator, LinkedIn, you know?" Xiang Nan asked.

"I know, when I was taking the postgraduate entrance examination, I went to your training class. Your principal was a female Taiwanese, and she spoke very eloquently." "Yesterday Breeze" said.

Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Yes, Principal Lin."

"Come on, let's all have a drink and welcome the old cat to join us."

"Zhe" said, raising the glass in his hand. Everyone raised their glasses. Xiang Nan also raised their glasses and clinked glasses with everyone. He was secretly relieved that he had finally passed the test of the three trials.

Xiangnan didn't drink alcohol originally, but when she got here, other people's glasses were full of wine and there were no drinks on the table. She had no choice but to drink beer. When she saw all the men, they picked up their glasses. They all drank it in one gulp. The three women only drank half of it. Xiang Nan took a big sip and put down the cup.

The food was served, and because it was a long table, each dish was served in two portions, one at the other end of the table and one at this side. Everyone subconsciously leaned toward the two ends of the table, leaving the middle empty.

"Curly" asked: "Why didn't the cat come?"

"Sisi" pursed her lips: "It's 'Zhe''s fault. In the group announcement, he didn't mention that today is 'Little Fatty''s treat."

"Zhe" argued: "Didn't we already say in the conversation that she can't translate it herself?"

"There are so many conversations in the group every day, who would read them? If it weren't for @mine, I wouldn't read them either," said "Little Fairy".

Xiang Nan listened to their conversation with confusion. She knew that they were talking about another "cat", but she just couldn't understand why the "cat" didn't see that it was "Little Fatty" who was treating guests. I won’t come to the group gathering anymore.

It was not convenient for her to ask.

"It's my fault, 'Little Fatty', that you don't even @the cat when you treat us." "Three Fives" said to Little Fatty.

"Little Fatty" responded with a smile: "Blame me, blame me, blame me."

"Ouch, 'me'!"

"Director" shouted outside. Everyone followed his gaze and saw a young man with fair skin and a delicate face walking towards them, holding a pretty girl by the hand.

Xiang Nan could tell at a glance that this guy was all wearing famous brands. His clothes and beach shorts were from Balenciaga, his feet were from clover coconut shoes, he was holding a Prada handbag, and he was wearing a Vacheron Constantin Maestro on his wrist.

There were only two empty seats in the middle of the entire table, facing each other. "Little Fatty" quickly stood up and shouted: "My uncle, sit here."

Xiaopang seemed to be the youngest person present. He took his own wine glass and cutlery, ran to the empty seat opposite and sat down, making two empty seats here for "me" and the girl.

"I" looked at Xiangnan as soon as he sat down. Xiangnan smiled at him and said, "I'm a cat."

"Cat, hello, hello, I am..."

"I know, you are 'me'." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

"And, what's the name of this beauty?" "Curly Hair" shouted, "'I,' you can't hide private goods."

The girl smiled and said: "My name is 'Yao Yao'."

"If you're not in the group, 'Director', please bring her in quickly." "Curly" continued to shout.

"I" scolded: "No, no, she is my girlfriend."

"What's wrong with my girlfriend? You don't have a seal." "Little Guaiguai" shouted.

"That's right, you can't be so stingy, 'Yao Yao', take out your phone quickly and don't listen to 'me'."

"The Lonely Captain" scolded, and other people also followed suit. "Yao Yao" blushed, and she looked at "me" with some embarrassment. "Sisi" who was sitting next to her picked up her Cell phone, shouted:

"Look what he's doing. That coward can't protect you. There's no one big or small in the group. Don't be afraid. I'll add it to you."

He said, swiping his hands, and handed the phone to "Yao Yao": "Password."

"Yao Yao" pressed a string of passwords, turned on her phone, and "Sisi" clicked on Momo. Immediately, the administrator "Director" pulled her into the group and shouted:

"Sing, sing."

"Sisi" clicked, put the phone in front of "Yao Yao"'s mouth, and said to "Yao Yao": "You have to sing a cappella for thirty seconds when you join the group, so sing quickly."

"Yao Yao" suppressed her blushing: "I can't sing."

“You have to sing even if you can’t sing.”

"Curly Hair", "Director", "Three 5" and others have already stood up and walked over. It seems that if "Yao Yao" does not join the group today, they will not let her go.

"Yao Yao" looked at "me" for help, and "me" said, "I can't help it. You have already joined the group, so what can I do?"

"Sing quickly, sing quickly." "Sisi" urged.

"Yao Yao" had no choice but to close her eyes and sing in a high-pitched voice: "A group of ducks are passing under the bridge in front of the door/Come on, come on, count them/How many ducks are there..."

"Okay, thirty-eight seconds, that's it." "Sisi" said and returned the phone to "Yao Yao".

"If you let her go so quickly, no one from you will come out to torture her?" asked the "little goblin".

"No time." "Three Fives" said immediately.

"You people, do you become soft-hearted when you see a beautiful woman?" the "little goblin" scolded.

"You can torture her. We'll watch and see if you can force her out of the group."

"The Stapler's Daddy" said, everyone laughed, and the "Little Goblin" glared at him, but there was nothing he could do.

While everyone was making such a fuss, the group leader "Zhe" sat there and remained silent, just looking at everyone with a smile.

Xiang Nan watched from the side, and she felt that the weirdness of these people was indeed a gesture. When they were in such close contact, it was still normal, and even their jokes were a bit vulgar.

Thinking of this, Xiang Nan suddenly felt a little bored.

She lowered her head and yawned quietly. When she raised her head, she found "Zhe" looking at her, and Xiang Nan quickly averted his eyes.

Seeing that dinner had come to an end, "Curly" said, "Can we start the game?"

Everyone else said yes. "Little Fatty" blushed and said, "You can't play. I may not have enough money. If you want to play, just A."

Xiang Nan sounded a little strange. What kind of money does this game need? Is it gambling?

"Little Goblin" said to her: "These people go crazy when they play games. They want at least seventy or eighty bottles of beer."

Xiang Nan was surprised and understood. It turned out to be a game of drinking. A bottle of beer here costs six yuan. Seventy or eighty bottles would cost four or five hundred yuan. No wonder "Little Fatty" said he might not have enough money. .

Xiang Nan wanted to say "I please". She wanted to see what kind of game they were playing, but she thought it was too abrupt. When the words came to her mouth, she swallowed them back.

"Let's go and sing at my place."

"Stapler's Daddy" said and everyone stood up.
