I couldn't help but glance at Xiang Yu and the others, and said, "You could have just called us when you arrived, why did you have to make this trip?"
Xiang Yu chuckled: "Firstly, I was afraid you wouldn't believe me, and secondly... we all miss you."
I was instantly moved. It was truly rare to hear such cheesy words from him. I was just about to express my overwhelming emotions to Baozi's ancestors when Xiang Yu, at the opportune moment, patted his recently removed underpants and said affectionately, "Mainly, I missed them."...
I asked Baozi with a troubled expression, "Where's your car?"
Baozi slapped her forehead: "Right, I forgot I own a car too." She handed me the car she shouldn't have been holding, and skipped off to the car, backing her Chevrolet out of the garage in no time. I went over and shoved her into the passenger seat, casually tucking my son into her arms, muttering, "What kind of woman drives while the man carries the child?"
Baozi retorted, "What's so great about you? You failed the first subject of the college entrance exam twice."
I snorted, "It's better than you still failing your driving test!"
Liu Bang happened to get into our car and comforted Baozi, saying, "It's alright, Baozi. If you want to be free, come with me to run a transport business. This car is definitely one that only nobles of the rank of duke or above can reserve."
I asked, "Are there any women among your drivers?"
Liu Bang said, "We don't have a driver yet, but most of the service industry workers in our line of work are beautiful women."
I scoffed, "It's just selling tickets, isn't it?"
Liu Bang said seriously, "The girls who serve tea and water on the golden carriage are prettier than flight attendants."
I suddenly thought of a question and said, "If people wear your Hanfu, will the service industry be easy to run? Aren't you covering yourself up too much?"
Liu Bang said, "You don't understand. High-class places can't have naked women. Those who wear bras and panties and go around shouting are bunny girls. Besides, what's wrong with Hanfu? Look at Japanese women wearing our Hanfu, aren't they quite popular all over the world?"
I said, "The reason they're popular is because they're not dressed most of the time, okay?"
Liu Bang smacked his lips and said, "By the way, speaking of clothes, I really need to look for Fengfeng."
What are you doing?
"Find her to make a batch of Tang suits; they're revealing and have a market appeal."
I said, "If you want to make Tang suits, go find Li Shimin."
Before Liu Bang could speak, Baozi couldn't help but say, "Are you stupid? Isn't that expensive?"

On the road, Xiang Yu sped off in his beat-up van; that guy was probably going 140 mph again. I asked Liu Bang, "How's Lord Su doing now? Has he come?"
Liu Bang said, "Don't even mention it, it was such a hassle to persuade him. I don't know what's wrong with that old man's head, no matter how much I tried to talk to him, he just wouldn't listen and insisted on continuing to herd his two worthless sheep."
"And then?" Baozi asked.
Liu Bang chuckled mischievously and said, "You can ask him yourself when you see him later."
I said, "So, Lord Su has already arrived at Yucai School?"
Liu Bang said smugly, "What can't I accomplish if I set my mind to it?"
I lowered my voice and said, "Do you really want to rekindle your old flame with Fengfeng?"
Liu Bang said somewhat dejectedly, "Let's talk about business first. You know your sister-in-law is no pushover."
I asked in surprise, "Your sister-in-law came too? She said she doesn't mind."
Liu Bang snorted: "When has that woman ever told the truth? Especially in this area, women will never tell you the truth."
I asked, beaming, "Really? Is every woman like that?"
"Nonsense!" Liu Bang said dismissively, not bothering to say anything more to me.
I immediately straightened up and looked at Baozi, saying, "Baozi, haven't you always said you were against me marrying a concubine? Is that the truth?"
Baozi said with a half-smile, "Why don't you give it a try?"
I turned around with a pained expression and said, "Bangzi, you lied to me!"
As we approached Yucai School, our car was suddenly and inexplicably caught in a traffic jam, slowly sliding forward. When we reached Yucai's parking lot, it was completely full. Yucai's parking lot, while not large, was about the size of a small square; this situation would never normally occur. A young man was wiping sweat as he directed people to park, gesturing wildly: "You, you, move a little further in. Hey, um, turn the wheel to the right..."
"This guy looks familiar—" I muttered to myself. In that moment of distraction, the young man spotted our car and gestured to me: "Come this way..."
I peeked out and asked, "Are you new here?" I didn't even know when this person had joined us.
Upon seeing me, the young man greeted me warmly, "Brother 109, it's me!"
His greeting immediately reminded me—wasn't that the waiter from Zhu Gui's Hotel?
I exclaimed, sweating, "You're here too? All the brothers are here?"
The waiter said, "Everyone's waiting for you."
"...Brother Song Jiang and Brother Wu Song have also come?"
The waiter said, "All 108 leaders are here, including Brother Fang La and his men."
Thinking about those cloned faces of Hua Rong, Wu Song, and Fang La, I broke out in a cold sweat. It seems today is going to be anything but chaotic.
When we got off the bus and walked quite a distance, the waiter was still there, busily calling out to customers. Baozi said, "Why is it so lively? What award did someone from Yucai win this time?"
I was also wondering where all these people came from. I turned my head and saw Sun Sixin standing at the school gate, the young man dressed smartly and greeting guests. I quickly ran over: "Sun!"
Sun Sixin had just let someone in with a smile when she saw it was me and greeted, "Brother Qiang, why are you so late?"
I grabbed him and asked, "Where are all these people? What day is it today?"
