Chapter 479 Everyone, look at me. I have something to announce.
Love is invincible crisis!
After being reminded by her friends, Chen Yuying reacted immediately.
stare--
She also cooperated by slightly puffing up her cheeks, making her face look like a little chubby bun.
So cute.
Noticing that everyone's eyes were fixed on him, with a serious look on their faces, Lin Li rubbed his brows and smiled silently with his eyes half closed.
——Oh my god, so there is such a thing. I was born like this. If Bai Bufan hadn’t told me, I would have almost forgotten about it.
There are many people in this car who deserve to die, but there is no doubt that Bai Bufan is the one who deserves to die the most.
He is also the one who wants to die the most.
To some extent, it was a two-way process.
"Lin Li, don't you want to say something..."
Chen Yuying spoke in a cold tone, hiding a hint of smile, and whispered resentfully.
"I'm sorry," Lin Li sincerely raised his head and looked at Chen Yuying. "You are not anyone's substitute. I have never had such thoughts. She is just my sister. She said that purple has a very charming charm."
When they saw the victim join in seriously, everyone couldn't hold back and started laughing happily, filling the car with a happy atmosphere.
"Alright, alright, we're not going to play anymore. Lin Li, go stop first."
Ding Sihan got off the bus first and then asked the others who got off at the same time:
"Should we go straight to the store, or should we go shopping in the square first? Anyway, we've already made a reservation at the store and paid a deposit. As long as we're not more than half an hour late, we can reserve a table."
"That's all right..."
"You guys decide for yourselves. Send me a WeChat message when you've decided. I'll go find a seat first." Lin Li left this message and drove away.
In an area about a street away, I chose a parking space that would not be quickly affected by the flow of people after midnight and would not be blocked by other subsequent cars.
After checking his phone and learning that they still planned to go shopping first, Lin Li headed to the given location to gather.
Although Yuetian Plaza is called a square, it is actually a commercial center. The area that can truly be called a square in the conventional sense is actually not very large.
After all, the Gregorian New Year is coming soon, and the surrounding shops are very busy.
It was clearly past eight o'clock and past mealtime, but the seats in the restaurant were almost all full. In some popular restaurants, rows of chairs outside the door were filled with people waiting for a table.
Fortunately, the restaurant is not well-known and is relatively expensive, otherwise I might not be able to find a place to stay and have a midnight snack here tonight.
"Shopping is more fun with other people. Shopping alone is too boring."
After walking around for nearly an hour, when they were about to go to the hot pot restaurant and all the seats were gone, Ding Sihan led the way and sighed with a smile.
"Have you ever considered amputation? That way you'll never go shopping alone in your life. When you don't have friends, you'll go shopping with 0.5 people, and when you have friends, you'll go shopping with 1.5 people. It's interesting to think about it." Lin Li held the back of his head leisurely and suggested after hearing this.
"What the hell is that?! Lin Li, shut up!"
Ding Sihan used Water Splash, but it didn't seem to have any effect.
Lin Li, who dodged Ding Sihan's flying kick, curled his lips. He gave advice with good intentions and it could have fundamentally solved Ding Sihan's problem, but the result was that Bufan bit Dongbin, which was really chilling.
Thinking of this, Lin Li's eyes lit up and he looked at Bai Bufan:
"Bufan, I have an idea. What do you say? During the Mid-Autumn Festival, we make a mooncake with the words "Lü Dongbin" on it and give it to Lao Jiantou to express our respect and love for him?"
Bai Bufan immediately understood and his eyes lit up:
"Of course you can. And we can do more than just Lu Dongbin mooncakes. We can also make 'Weighing Weight' and 'Tender Grass' mooncakes. Old Jiantou will definitely be so moved by our filial piety that he'll regret asking us to write a thousand-word self-criticism."
The two of them didn't lower their voices at all, and the girls who heard it clearly twitched their lips slightly.
You will indeed regret it.
How can I not regret it when it’s only a thousand words?
But it is indeed a business opportunity.
If it really comes out, they might buy one or two.
"Taking the elevator is the fairest thing in the world. After all, there is no back door."
When riding the elevator up, because there was no one else in the elevator, Bai Bufan sighed, then pointed at the elevator button and complained:
“Damn, but some designers are crazy and put the button and the door on the side instead of the side, they put it on the back.
When I was a kid, the elevator reached my floor, but the door wouldn't open no matter how hard I pressed it or how hard I tried to pry it open. I was so scared that I ended up crying and looking for my mother and the elevator manager.
Later, when I checked the surveillance footage to see what was going on, I saw the door behind me opened over a dozen times while I was crying while looking at the scene in front of me. My mom died of laughter.
When asked why I didn't look back, I stammered and was too embarrassed to answer.
After all, I felt like there was a cold wind blowing from behind, so who would dare to look back?
Why would a silent elevator be so good?
"That's quite a life," Lin Li agreed with a smile. "But the people who had a better life than you were probably the other people waiting for the elevator on the first floor."
When we arrived at the hot pot restaurant, although it was on the top floor, it was actually divided into two areas, indoor and outdoor. After all, if there was only the rooftop outdoor area, it would be almost impossible to do business in the summer.
But it is winter now, and they are eating steaming hot pot. Plus, the purpose is to participate in the New Year's Eve ceremony with the people in the square, so everyone undoubtedly chose an outdoor location.
The ordered items could not be served immediately, so after preparing the dipping sauce, a few people walked towards the edge of the rooftop out of curiosity.
Lin Li and the girls first took a look at the rooftop view. The guardrail was very high for safety reasons, but fortunately it did not affect the view. They could overlook half of the square. When everyone gathered downstairs at 12 o'clock, the view should be good.
Bai Bufan went to study the telescope next to him.
"Why is the angle fixed so that I can only look up and not down?" When Bai Bufan tried to adjust the angle of the telescope, he found that it was limited, so he clicked his tongue.
"What exactly do you want to see when you look down? Peeping, huh?" Lin Li glanced at him.
"I don't do such things as peeping, please don't slander me maliciously.
I have a small one at home, and I've been using it for good things. I've been searching for half a month with it, but I can't find the Peeping Tom who's been rumored to be spying on the neighborhood from the balcony with a telescope.
Bai Bufan was moved by the scene and said sadly:
"Especially when my neighbor showed up on the balcony after showering, I was on high alert, but still found nothing. I felt like they were just trying to trick me. And I was trying to help them punish their evildoers. Sigh."
Lin Li could quickly tell that Bai Bufan's words were a lie.
Because this mentally retarded child, when trying to use the telescope on the rooftop, subconsciously closed one eye and then put his closed eye on the eyepiece of the telescope.
Assassin Zhang Wei, when did he come?
Bai Bufan was stunned for a moment, then asked doubtfully:
“Why is there no difference in the images I see?”
"In fact, sometimes modern medicine advances too fast, and I don't know whether it is a good thing or not." Looking at this scene, Lin Li shook his head at Chen Yuying.
"Yeah." Chen Yuying nodded sincerely. She certainly understood what Lin Li meant - logically speaking, a fetus like Bai Bufan's should not have been able to be saved at birth, but unfortunately modern medicine saved him.
Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu also looked at Bai Bufan with concern: "I wonder if artificial intervention in the survival of the fittest is a good thing. Will human genes degenerate?"
Bai Bufan: "TAT."
None of these four people chose to lower their voices when they were slandering themselves.
"I won't be abstract anymore. Not only does no one understand my wit and humor, but everyone treats me as an idiot." Bai Bufan said sadly.
Several people then actually used the telescope.
Although it is obviously not a professional-level astronomical telescope, the quality is not too bad. After adjustment, you can see a few lonely stars shining faintly among the clouds. After identification, it is probably the belt of Orion.
There is also the North Star, which can be seen with the naked eye, and its clearer and more realistic outline can be seen through a telescope.
The weather today is not particularly good, coupled with the neon light pollution in the business district, being able to see these pictures is already a good achievement.
Too bad I can't take a picture with my phone.
The ordered meals arrived one after another while the five people were taking turns using the telescope, so they stopped monopolizing the telescope and returned to their seats.
It was already a little after nine o'clock, and considering the energy consumed from shopping just now, everyone had more or less a desire to eat.
Let’s eat.
…
"Why do you always make things difficult for me? Have I offended you in any way?" Bai Bufan looked at Lin Li coldly with resentment.
"Because the tripe is cooked too long, it becomes tough. My hands slipped a lot just now."
Lin Li responded calmly after hearing this. He not only continued to use the serving chopsticks to feed Bai Bufan, but also fed the three girls opposite him.
They are much more polite and would say thank you at this time instead of questioning like Bai Bufan, the ungrateful person.
“Ah hehe——!!”
The girls looked up, and Lin Li and Bai Bufan also turned back.
It was two little kids who had appeared outside a few minutes ago and had been making a fuss.
Children's voices are already quite shrill, and these two kept running, jumping and screaming, which was quite jarring. Most of the guests on the rooftop frowned slightly, hoping that their parents would show up or that the waiter would intervene.
But no hero appeared.
Bai Bufan scratched his ear and shook his head: "I finally understand the saying that the customer is God."
"It's hard for the store to handle this situation," Ding Sihan nodded. "Everyone overpaid so much, the store probably knows they're in the wrong and doesn't dare to intervene."
Ding Sihan believes that the destination for naughty children should be to be locked up in the bear exhibition area of the zoo, or released into the wild.
"Dingzi, you've misunderstood Bufan's meaning," Lin Li smiled. "When he said 'customers are God,' he meant that as the Son of God, it would be more appropriate for him to be crucified rather than allowed to act freely."
Ding Sihan: “(；☉_☉)?”
"Cough cough." Ding Sihan, who almost vomited out all the tripe, took the water handed to him by Chen Yuying and cleared his throat, then shook his head helplessly.
There is still a long way to go in my growth.
I still underestimated the murderous intent of creatures like Lin Bai.
However, before Lin Li was ready to get up and try to gather some sleepiness to quiet the two naughty kids, their parents came out from the indoor area and brought them back indoors.
It doesn't matter if my friend dies but I do. Anyway, the outside world is quiet again.
As for hot pot, as long as the ingredients are not too rotten and the soup base is good, it won’t be too bad.
In addition, it was winter and hot outside, so several people thought the taste was pretty good. Of course, the above evaluations were without considering the price.
But if you really ignore the price, there won't be many people sitting in this restaurant tonight.
“Click—”
Lin Li and Bai Bufan's chopsticks touched each other.
This is the plot in a romance anime.
If it were set in Chengdu, this would be considered a romance anime.
But this is just an ordinary reality, so the two of them simply set their eyes on a piece of cooked chicken in the pot at the same time.
The two men's eyes met, their fighting spirit burning, and sparks seemed to flash.
"Fuck, why do I feel like there's real electricity?" Bai Bufan, who seemed to have been electrocuted, shuddered again.
Lin Li: "It's winter, isn't it normal to have static electricity?"
"That's right." Bai Bufan thought it made sense, but he was still unwilling to give up the chicken, or to be more precise, the chicken that he could snatch from Lin Li.
Lin Li narrowed his eyes. "Bufan, let me ask you, dogs can bark, cats can meow, what can chickens do?"
Bai Bufan also narrowed his eyes: "300 for one session, 600 for the whole night?"
"What do you mean by 'the one who got you'? Wrong!" Lin Li sneered, then took advantage of Bai Bufan's distraction and moved as fast as lightning - "Opportunity - for those who are prepared!"
Lin Li picked up the chicken and put it into his mouth. It was just out of the pan and was extremely hot, so Lin Li flipped it several times with his mouth, but he just refused to spit it out.
At the same time, he looked down at Bai Bufan with a condescending look.
"My chicken! You bastard—my stomach is ready too! Spit it out!"
"If you have no chance, don't make any preparations!"
Seeing the two boys on the opposite side quarreling again and even escalating to fighting, the girls were already used to it. They just shook their heads gently with smiles on their faces.
For them, simply eating something would make them unable to eat anymore, or they could not continue eating.
They didn't chat with each other all the time. After all, it wasn't a long separation, so there wasn't endless topics to talk about. Strictly speaking, the five of them actually only saw each other for two or three hours today.
Sit here quietly, play with your phone, and share anything interesting you see with people around you.
Occasionally, like now, when the two people opposite are making a noise, I raise my head and watch the monkey in a civilized manner.
I plan to wait like this until 12 o'clock.
From a certain perspective, tonight's activities were not that interesting. We just had a midnight snack together and chatted. This kind of chatting and sharing can also be done at home, or even lying in bed, which would be more comfortable.
But is it boring? Not really.
Do you regret coming out? Absolutely not.
How does the saying go?
Youth is probably something that is worthless but as precious as gold.
Now the "ordinary" time is worthless, but it is indeed precious.
When a good friend suddenly drives to your house and invites you to go on a spontaneous trip, your brain freezes for a moment, but the next second joy and laughter surge up, and this period of time is already coated with a golden filter.
Isn't the purpose of life to live for certain moments?
Youth is a gecko, and it is difficult to catch its tail, but fortunately for the five people, they can catch the whole gecko by just reaching out their hands.
After all, Lin Li and Bai Bufan were not泔水袋 like Zhou Baowei. Gradually, as their satiety levels became fuller, their eating speed began to slow down.
Similarly, I didn’t plan to do anything else. I played with my phone and chatted with the girls, occasionally going to the edge of the square to check on the situation, and waiting for the arrival of the new year together.
Time flies like an arrow. The years pass by like a shuttle.
When the noise downstairs gradually became clearer and clearer, when the store owner sent people to start selling balloons, and when the large LED screen not far away began the final 60-second countdown, this year has come to an end.
Lin Li and the other five were already standing at the edge of the rooftop.
His left shoulder touched Bai Bufan's, and his right hand held Chen Yuying's.
Everyone was holding a balloon that Chen Qianjin had invited them to, and they looked at the crowded crowd and the countdown that was not waiting for anyone with a smile.
"five!"
"Four!"
"three!"
"two!"
"one!"
"Happy New Year!!!"
Fireworks exploded in the distance, and colorful balloons rose from every corner of the square, like retrograde raindrops, carrying countless wishes into the night sky.
"Wow--"
A second wave of noise came from the other side of the rooftop. It turned out that someone was confessing his love.
But the attention of the "three people and one dog" was not attracted.
Because just now, Lin Li suddenly smiled at them and said, "Everyone, look at me."
So Bai Bufan looked to the right, and Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu looked to the left.
Lin Li smiled and stretched out his free left hand to cup the cheek of the girl who was also looking up at him, and gently brushed her chin with his thumb.
Then he leaned over and pressed his feelings to her lips.
