When Xu Ke and the man with glasses returned to the dormitory, it was already very late. The sky had been dyed a coral red by the glow of the sunset. The two other men who had been sitting inside looked anxiously at each other, waiting for Xu Ke, almost like waiting for their hero to return. Seeing Xu Ke's car come back, their eyes lit up instantly, and they rushed towards him.
"Finally, you're back. If you came any later, I might have left. Sitting here really made me uncomfortable," the man said, showing a look of relief, as if he had narrowly escaped a disaster. The other two men who came out with him looked a bit embarrassed upon hearing his words.
"Sorry, we picked up some things in town, which took some extra time. Here's five thousand yuan, take it first. If it's not enough, come and find me again," Xu Ke said, handing over a wad of cash to the man.
