Shi Chun turned and said to Da Shitou who was with him, "You pay."

Wu Jinliang, cheerful as always, also thought he would get one, but to his surprise, Shi Chun pocketed both books and left. Wu Jinliang and Da Shitou looked at each other speechlessly; one followed Shi Chun, and the other paid the bill.
They hadn't walked far when they ran into Dong, who had returned from reporting back. Dong informed Shi Chun that Miss Miao had agreed to meet.
Shi Chun said there was no hurry and that he wanted to change his clothes first.
