The two walked around a small playground behind the courtyard, each talking about the people and events of the campus, and as the sky grew dark, they headed back to their dormitories.
Yang PeiMin played with Lele for a while longer before it was time for dinner.
Stewed chicken and pig's knuckles were prepared, with Shen Yixiang helping Chen Guizhi cook the meal.
Yang PeiMin was now living "the life of a pig," seemingly always waiting to eat after waking up.
By later in the evening, Shen Yiguang still hadn't returned, but everyone else had. He had sent word back that he was in a meeting.
So, they set aside his portion of the meal for him to eat upon his return.
During dinner, Chen Guizhi looked around several times but didn't see Shen Yiguang. She sighed and said, "Even eating is busy work; I don't even know where the meeting is. It would be better to send some food over."
