By Xuanwu Lake, at a Western restaurant.
Shen Qing'e was sightseeing in South City with her sister. Dressed in a lovely skirt, she sat in a booth at the upscale restaurant. The breeze rippled across the lake, and the surroundings were pleasant.
She was very happy, because this was the life she had always dreamed of. She no longer had to worry about work. She could go wherever she wanted and have fun whenever she wished.
Though she knew perfectly well that she was only benefiting from her sister Shen Hongdie's success.
As usual, Shen Qing'e opened the Class Group. A competition was underway in the group, with everyone vying for the title of Funniest Classmate of the Week.
Yang Sheng sponsored this competition. The winner could receive two chances to order others around, or use them to offset debts they owed.
Shen Qing'e had long since paid off her debt to Yang Sheng. She was now one of Class 8's free agents, and she watched everything with a faint sense of superiority.
The classmates were quite enthusiastic, all telling lame jokes.
Guo Kunnan was especially active. "A deer, a lamb, and a monkey went to a convenience store together and all got beaten up. Only the lamb wasn't hit. Why?"
Han Wennuan: "Because the owner sold the lamb?"
Yin Yu: "Because it was open twenty-four hours."
Liu Chuandao @Yin Yu: "Why aren't you replying to my messages?"
Guo Kunnan: "(thumbs-up)."
Zhong Huai chimed in as well. "On a cold winter day, a farmer found a snake and brought it home, soaking it in a jar of wine. A long, long time later, spring arrived and all things came back to life. The snake woke up too, crawled out of the wine jar, and said one sentence. What was it?"
