Chapter 612 April Fools' Day [Extra Chapter 1]
[On how fragile the trust between people is when they celebrate April Fools' Day.]
When Jiang Zhiyuan came out of the bedroom rubbing her eyes, the sun was already at noon.
"Good morning, Sister Xu!"
"Is it still early? Early? What do you mean by early? Look at the time. It's already late. The sun is already shining on your buttocks, and you're just getting up."
Sister Xu responded without looking up as she flipped through the book in her hand, with a hint of ridicule and helplessness in her tone.
Jiang Zhiyuan stretched, walked to the window, looked at the bright sunshine outside, and a lazy smile appeared on his face.
"I had too much fun last night and couldn't help but sleep a little longer.
But then again, Sister Xu, how come you are free at home today? Aren’t you planning to go out and have fun?
Jiang Zhiyuan looked at Sister Xu in confusion. This person had told her yesterday that she had something to do, but why was she sitting at home leisurely today?
"I want to go out and play, but doesn't this mean I have to wait for someone?"
Xu Hui looked at someone with sidelong eyes, it seemed that the person had no idea at all!
"Ah? Sister Xu, who are you waiting for? Who is so audacious as to make us wait for her?"
Jiang Zhiyuan sat down with Sister Xu indignantly, and took an apple that Sister Xu had already peeled.
"Haha, guess what."
Listening to Sister Xu's sarcastic voice, Jiang Zhiyuan realized that something was wrong.
"That person...could it be me?"
Jiang Zhiyuan swallowed his saliva and felt an ominous premonition in his heart.
Xu Hui finally raised her head, with a hint of teasing in her eyes and a smile on her lips.
"Congratulations, you got it right!
Today is April Fools' Day, and I had plans to go out with some friends, but I couldn't miss the opportunity to play a trick on you, so I stayed and waited for you to wake up naturally."
Jiang Zhiyuan suddenly wailed, fell on the sofa, and covered his face with a pillow.
"Sister Xu, you're going too far! It's a holiday, can't you let me sleep a little longer?
Besides, I was really troubled by your tricks last night!"
Last night they played Truth or Dare. Everyone knew her strength, so to prevent her from cheating, they all stood together and didn't let her spin the wheel.
So she could only watch helplessly as other people who had the same cheating methods turned the turntable towards her again and again.
Then she kept losing, and kept losing.
Since she was the one who suggested this game, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and swallow it.
Seeing this, Xu Hui laughed so hard that she almost dropped the book in her hand.
"Zhiyuan, Zhiyuan, you've finally come to this day! You're usually the one with the most clever ideas, but today you finally fell into my hands."
Jiang Zhiyuan peeked out one eye from the gap in the pillow, stared at Xu Hui resentfully, and said in pretended anger.
"Sister Xu, you are taking revenge!
During last night's game, you were clearly targeting me. My questions were always so tricky, while others were so easy."
Xu Hui waved her hands and acted innocently.
"Oh, how can this be called revenge? This is called strategy! Who made your luck not on your side today?
Besides, isn't the truth meant to be used to tease each other? Don't take it too seriously."
Jiang Zhiyuan sat up, pursed his lips, pretended to think for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Sister Xu, since today is April Fool's Day, I can't let you play a trick on me for nothing.
I have to find a way to get back on track.”
Xu Hui raised her eyebrows and looked at her with interest.
"Oh? What do you want to do? Tell me."
Jiang Zhiyuan smiled mysteriously and whispered a few words into Xu Hui's ear.
After hearing this, Xu Hui was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Haha, Zhiyuan, that's a ruthless move of yours! But I like it! That's settled then, let's wait and see."
The two smiled at each other, each planning their next "prank" in their minds.
"But how do we get them together?"
After hearing this, Xu Hui thought for a moment before speaking.
"If you were to travel from ten years later, would they be happy to join in the fun?"
Sister Xu and Jiang Zhiyuan smiled at each other, revealing very obscene expressions.
After some discussion, Xu Hui began to call Zhao Tangtang, the assistant, Chen Yuci, Zhao Qingyun, Pei Yanhe, Gu Yanzhi, Xie Qichen, Officer Xu, and Officer Qu respectively.
"Hello, is this Tangtang?
I’m Sister Xu, and I have some shocking news to tell you. I just received a letter from the future, saying it’s an invitation to our reunion ten years from now!
Isn’t it amazing? We need to get together and discuss this matter!"
After Xu Hui finished speaking, a sly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes sparkled with excitement.
Zhao Tangtang on the other end of the phone was obviously shocked by this sudden "future invitation" and promised to come as soon as possible.
Then, Xu Hui called the assistant again.
"Little Assistant, do you know? I just experienced something super incredible!
I feel like I've been chosen to know in advance what we will look like and what our reunion plans will be like ten years from now!
Come to my house and let’s read this letter from the future together!”
When the assistant heard this, his curiosity was completely aroused and he quickly agreed.
Afterwards, Xu Hui invited Chen Yuci, Zhao Qingyun, Pei Yanhe, Gu Yanzhi, Xie Qichen and others in the same way.
Everyone was full of curiosity and anticipation about this "future invitation" and expressed that they would arrive as soon as possible.
As for Officer Xiao Xu and Officer Xiao Qu, Xu Hui used slightly different rhetoric.
"Hey, Xiao Xu/Xiao Qu, I have an urgent task!
I just received an anonymous letter containing a lead on a major case we may encounter in the next ten years!
Although it sounds bizarre, I think we should still take it seriously and meet up quickly to discuss countermeasures."
When the two police officers heard this, they immediately expressed their doubts, but since it was a holiday, they decided to join in the fun.
After a while, everyone arrived at Xu Hui's house one after another, and everyone's face was filled with curiosity and excitement.
Jiang Zhiyuan hid in the dark, watching all this, feeling secretly proud.
"Everyone arrived so quickly! Come on, take a seat first. I'll show you the letter from the future."
Xu Hui pretended to be mysterious and took out a blank piece of paper that she had prepared in advance from the drawer, and then pretended to take out a special pen from her pocket.
"Look, this is the pen someone from the future gave me. Only with this pen can the contents of the letter be revealed."
Everyone held their breath and stared as Xu Hui lightly scratched the paper, but the paper remained blank.
At this time, Jiang Zhiyuan walked out from the darkness with a bottle of "magic potion" in his hand.
"Haha, Sister Xu, your trick isn't good enough! You still need my bottle of 'Future Developer'!"
As she spoke, she gently sprinkled the potion on the paper.
Everyone waited nervously for a miracle to happen, but there was still no change on the paper.
