A group of juniors were standing in an alleyway between pagodas near the pavilion. Some were laughing, while others looked anxious. They appeared to be up to no good.

  A couple of the juniors were talking amongst themselves.

  “Stacking stones, just stacking stones.”

  “Fat stacks of stones, brothers. Fat stacks.”

  “Rise and grind brothers. Hustle and bustle makes a junior’s stone stash big.”

  Soon, a junior could be seen walking in front of the alleyway.

  “PSSSSTTT, Xiao Xu, come here!”

  Xiao Xu turned toward the alleyway.

  “Shao Shu? What are you-”

  “SHHHHHHH just come here!”

  Xiao Xu reluctantly walked into the alleyway, and Shao Shu wrapped his arm around him.

  “So Xiao Xu, I hear you’ve been crushing on Yu Yue…”

  Xiao Xu blushed.

  “Well I uhh… uhh…”

  Before Xiao Xu could finish, Shao Shu pulled a covering off a large number of bottles.

  “Aphrodisiacs, brother. They work. Just ten spirit stones and Yu Yue wi-”

  “Guys, I think we should stop now, I see an elder coming this way!”

  All the boys quickly dispersed, whistling with their hands in their pockets.
