Ever since Star Han bought Qidi's stocks last time, he had been feeling uneasy. Sure enough, a few days later, the stock price of Qidi Company started to decline rapidly. Star Han immediately called Yan Nanfei and they discussed what was happening. Due to his unease, Star Han considered selling all his stocks. Even if he incurred a loss, it wouldn't be significant. Otherwise, if the situation continued, he might not be able to sell them at all.

However, Yan Nanfei disagreed with his opinion and expressed himself strongly, saying, "You've been trading stocks for so long, and you should know that stocks often experience a decline before they rise. This is what we call the market makers cleaning up. Just hold on a little longer, and soon the stock price of Qidi will start to rise. Isn't that better? Why are you being so cautious all of a sudden? It's not like you."

"I don't want it to be like this either, but recently I've been feeling restless. It's like something bad is about to happen. That's why I..." Star Han sighed and explained.

"I don't understand why you're so superstitious about your feelings. Feelings are unreliable! I've had many times when I had a bad feeling, but nothing happened in the end," Yan Nanfei said skeptically.

"Why would your feelings be as accurate as mine? But maybe this bad thing will happen in another aspect. I'll just be careful. I've become overly cautious now," Star Han said to himself. But aloud, he said, "Maybe you're right. Let's wait another week. By then, regardless of the price of Qidi's stocks, I will sell all my shares in Qidi Company. I don't feel confident about this company."

"Alright, when that time comes, I won't try to convince you anymore. This will be the last time I offer suggestions for you," Yan Nanfei said, seeming a bit angry.

"Oh, are you upset? Actually, your opinion is right. Maybe I'm overthinking. How about this, I'll treat you to a meal today as an apology for today's matter. Is that okay?" Star Han didn't want to have any unpleasantness with Yan Nanfei.

"There's no need for that. It's actually my fault. Maybe your considerations are correct," Yan Nanfei said, feeling a bit ashamed.

After some back and forth, they finally agreed that Star Han would treat them. Just as Yan Gui returned, it was time for dinner, so they invited her as well. The three of them went out to find a place to eat.

After some deliberation, they settled on a Sichuan restaurant. The restaurant wasn't large, but it had a decent ambiance, and since all three of them enjoyed spicy food, they decided to have an authentic Chongqing hot pot, which was famous in the area. They were looking forward to enjoying a good meal together.

Soon, the hot pot and dishes were served. Star Han ordered two bottles of beer and poured a glass for Yan Nanfei and Gui Yan each. After pouring a glass for himself, he said, "Here, this is the first time the three of us are eating and drinking together. Soon, Yan Nanfei will graduate, and we don't know which city he'll be in after that. It might be difficult for us to gather like this again in the future. Let's raise our glasses to the opportunity to be together here."

"Yeah, maybe we won't have the chance to toast together in the future. Alright, we should raise our glasses. But I really don't know how to drink alcohol!" Yan Nanfei said.

"Okay, there will still be opportunities for us to be together in the future, right? If there's something, can't you come over? Alright, let's toast now, and then we can drink the rest slowly. But this glass, let's finish it in one gulp! I'll go first. Are you two not going to beat me? It would be better to just hit me with a tofu!" Gui Yan, though a woman, had a more straightforward manner than the two men. After speaking, she finished her glass in one gulp, leaving not a drop behind.

Star Han and Yan Nanfei looked at each other and smiled wryly. In fact, neither Star Han nor Yan Nanfei were good at drinking, which was why they only ordered two bottles of beer. Compared to them, Gui Yan was an experienced drinker. Star Han had a slightly better tolerance for alcohol than Yan Nanfei, so he smiled and downed his glass, even though the taste was not to his liking. Since childhood, Star Han didn't like drinking, not because of any particular reason, but because the first time he drank when he was young, he got drunk. After getting drunk, he stumbled and fell off a bridge. The bridge was wide, but somehow he managed to fall off it. Fortunately, it was summer, and everyone was bathing in the river at the time. Some people were bathing by the bridge. Star Han didn't have many clothes on, and he was a good swimmer, so with the shock of the cold water, he sobered up halfway. He quickly swam to the shore. Luckily, nothing serious happened. But since then, Star Han had developed an inexplicable fear of alcohol. Although in his hometown, everyone drank alcohol to some extent, and adults even drank Baijiu and other strong spirits, he never drank. It was only when he became an adult and had no choice that he learned to drink a little beer. However, his alcohol tolerance was still limited.

Yan Nanfei was even worse, worse than Star Han. It was a mystery how he had survived in the past. Obviously, he couldn't handle drinking at all. Seeing his hesitant expression, Star Han was about to give up. But before he could speak, Gui Yan knew what they were going to say and interjected, "It's just one glass. You have to drink, or else you'll be disrespecting me and Star Han. We both drank, and you're the only one who isn't. How can that be? Star Han can't drink either, but he still did. So you have to drink too! Come on, don't drag it out like a little girl. Hurry up, we're still waiting to eat hot pot!"

Yan Nanfei looked at Gui Yan and then at Star Han. Seeing that both of them were waiting for him to drink, he closed his eyes and slowly drank the glass as if it were a cup of bitter medicine. When he had almost finished the glass, he choked and even snorted, looking quite uncomfortable. Star Han and Gui Yan couldn't help but burst into laughter. Their laughter attracted the attention of the people dining nearby, and Star Han and Gui Yan stopped laughing.

The hot pot meal lasted for two to three hours. By the end of it, Gui Yan was still fine, slightly tipsy at most, and Star Han was about 70% drunk. However, Yan Nanfei was completely drunk.

As they left the restaurant, Star Han and Gui Yan were managing, but Yan Nanfei stumbled and swayed while walking. Star Han felt concerned and said to Gui Yan, "The way he is, I don't think he can make it back to his dormitory. How about we help him to my place and let him rest for a while until he sobers up, and then we can send him back?"

"Okay, but I don't have much strength left either. Let's take a taxi," Gui Yan suggested.

"Alright, I was thinking the same thing," Star Han agreed.

The two of them hailed a taxi and helped Yan Nanfei get in. They followed him into the taxi, and soon they arrived at Star Han's place. Star Han and Gui Yan struggled to support Yan Nanfei as they got out of the taxi and went upstairs. Yan Nanfei kept struggling and saying, "I'm not drunk, I can walk. I'm not drunk, I can drink."

After reaching the apartment, Gui Yan went to her own room to sleep, while Star Han helped Yan Nanfei onto his bed. As soon as he lay down, Yan Nanfei fell asleep. However, even in his sleep, he kept talking non-stop.

Star Han had eaten a lot of spicy dishes at the restaurant and was sweating all over. While assisting Yan Nanfei up the stairs, they both worked up a sweat. Now Star Han was feeling uncomfortable all over, so he decided to take a shower.

Star Han took a refreshing shower and when he came out, his head felt clear. His mood also improved, so he went to Yan Nanfei's room to check if he had woken up yet. As he walked in, he heard Yan Nanfei saying, "Star Han, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Star Han was startled and hurriedly said, "Nanfei, what do you mean by apologizing? You're just drunk."

To his surprise, there was no response from Yan Nanfei. Upon closer inspection, he realized that Yan Nanfei was still asleep and talking in his dream. At that moment, he continued, "Star Han, I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have betrayed you, but no matter what I do, you're no match for Hua Liuyun. I envy you, I'm jealous of you. We're the same, so why do you have money while I don't? I want you to taste the bitterness of failure, so I told you to buy Qidi's stocks. Haha, Qidi Company is about to collapse, and Star Han, you'll also collapse. Hehe."

Hearing Yan Nanfei's words, Star Han was stunned. Were these the words spoken by someone he considered a good friend and confidant? Was this really Yan Nanfei? Suddenly, Star Han felt a chaotic mess in his mind.
