"What do you want to play? Just some cards. Ugh, I'm hanging up now, bye-bye."
As Shen's father looked at the phone that had been hung up, he suddenly felt a sense of loss, as if the little cabbage he had painstakingly planted had been trampled.
Chen's mother came out of the kitchen and asked.
"Is our daughter coming home for dinner?"
"I'm not coming back for dinner. I said I'm playing cards with Lin Chen."
"Okay, then I won't cook anything, I'll just have some noodles."
Mr. Shen walked to the kitchen door and said to Mrs. Shen, "I still feel uneasy. Will that brat Lin Chen bully my little cabbage?"
Chen's mother rolled her eyes at him.
"Why do you care so much about the young people's affairs? Even if Lin Chen and our daughter are dating, they are childhood sweethearts and it's a free love relationship. Besides, Lin Chen is handsome and capable. I'd be quite satisfied with him as my son-in-law."
"That's true, but I still feel uneasy."
"What's there to worry about? You've spoiled your precious daughter since she was little, treating her like she's made of glass. She's all grown up now, do you still think she's a three-year-old?"
Unlike Shen Yue, Lin Chen didn't receive a call. His mother asked him in the family group chat if he would be having dinner, and he replied that he wouldn't, and that was it.
Perhaps this is the difference between my beloved daughter and my son.
Lin Chen and Shen Yue didn't get home until midnight, mainly because playing cards was too tiring.
At first, Shen Yue couldn't even stand up straight. She rested for a while and slept for an hour before feeling a little better.
After Lin Chen saw Shen Yue off, it was almost midnight when he returned to the villa. He opened the door and found it was pitch black inside; everyone should be asleep by now.
A person quietly went up to the third floor, opened their bedroom door, and found that the light in their room was on.
Upon entering, they found An Rou asleep on Lin Chen's bed, probably because she had gotten sleepy while waiting for him.
Lin Chen walked over and patted An Rou on the shoulder.
An Rou woke up and found it was Lin Chen.
He wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and mumbled sleepily.
"You're back! I was so waiting for you I fell asleep. Are you hungry? Do you want me to cook you some late-night snacks?"
"I'm hungry, but I don't need a midnight snack, you'll do the trick."
Lin Chen kissed her directly.
Fortunately, the soundproofing of this villa is quite good; you can't hear anything going on upstairs.
Otherwise, something terrible could happen.
Two hours later, An Rou crawled out of bed and looked at the clothes scattered all over the floor.
"Did you sneak out to eat oysters last night?"
"Um, more or less."
Men know that sometimes, the second time lasts much longer than the first.
An Rou lay on the bed, drenched in sweat and panting heavily.
After resting for a while, I got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower, then came out and put on my pajamas.
She whispered to Lin Chen, "I'm going down to sleep now. You should go to sleep early too. Goodnight."
"good evening."
Lin Chen had fought two battles tonight and was exhausted. He took a shower and fell asleep quickly.
The next day, Lin Chen slept until noon again.
He could have slept until the afternoon, but his mother's great love arrived as expected the moment lunch was ready.
"Mom! I'm a billionaire, how could you just pull off my blanket like that?"
"What's wrong with pulling off your blanket? You're a billionaire, the sun's already high in the sky, get out of your pigsty and have lunch. You've only slept for two nights, why do you already smell like that?"
Lin Chen felt a little embarrassed: "Ahem, I know, I'll get up right away, you can go out first."
"I don't want to stay here yet. Remember to open the window to let in some fresh air when you get up."
After Lin Chen got up, he smelled the bed and realized that he was too tired last night and forgot to change the sheets.
I casually took the bed sheet off and threw it into the washing machine to wash and dry.
In the evening, Lin Chen went out again after dinner, while the young lady also said goodbye to her parents and left.
They arranged to play cards together again, just like yesterday, and went home around the same time.
When Lin Chen got home, he found An Rou waiting for him upstairs again.
Then, she won a second time.
However, this time he was smarter and changed the sheets that night, throwing them directly into the washing machine to wash and dry.
Lunar New Year's Eve has arrived.
Cheers, Happy New Year!
After finishing his New Year's Eve dinner, Lin Chen didn't go out. Instead, he stayed home and watched the Spring Festival Gala. This year's Gala was sponsored by Xingchen Technology. He spent so much money on it, so of course he wanted to see how effective the promotion was.
"Dear viewers, Happy Chinese New Year! This is the live broadcast of the 2011 CCTV Spring Festival Gala. We are joining people of all ethnic groups across the country and Chinese people all over the world to stay up late and welcome the Year of the Rabbit."
...
This year's Spring Festival Gala is exclusively sponsored by Douyin (TikTok). Open the Douyin app, search for "Spring Festival Gala," and you can participate in a red envelope giveaway every half hour. Everyone is welcome to participate.
Lin Chen nodded in satisfaction upon hearing the host's announcement; the advertising fee was well worth it.
"Son, where can I download the Douyin app?"
"Mom, are you trying to squeeze these few dollars out of your son?"
"Huh? Oh, right, I remember now, this Douyin app belongs to your company. But that won't do, we can't miss out on any of the benefits we can get."
Lin Chen reluctantly took his mother's phone, helped her download the Douyin app, and then registered.
"Look here, there's a red envelope countdown. When the time is up, a screen will automatically pop up to grab the red envelope. You just need to tap it with your finger. The red envelopes range from a few cents to tens of yuan, with the highest being 888 yuan."
"Where will the stolen money go?"
"The stolen money will go directly into your Douyin Wallet. However, Douyin Wallet is also known as Huasuan Pay. This money can be used in Huasuan Pay. You can even use this red envelope to send red envelopes to others on Mixin, such as your dearest son."
"You stingy little thing, you even have to take back a few dollars from your mother. Anrou, don't peel the orange for him, give it to me."
"Okay, Mom."
Lin Chen: Is it possible that the red envelopes I gave you were worth more than just a few dollars?
After a few programs, it was 8:30.
"...Dear viewers, the first wave of red envelope rain is about to begin! Open the Douyin app to grab red envelopes! Let's count down together: 5...4...3...2...1, start!"
As soon as the Spring Festival Gala host finished speaking, the red envelope rain began to fall on the Douyin app.
At this moment, if you had a God's-eye view, you would see that in every city across the country, no matter north or south, east or west, in all kinds of families, there are people frantically tapping their phones on the screen while muttering to themselves.
"One point! I'll go."
"Eight dollars and eighty-eight cents, hehe, not bad."
"One hundred and sixty-eight yuan! Wow! That's huge!"
"888 yuan, oh my god, I won 888! I'm going to show off in my relatives' group chat, hehe."
