In the afternoon, I had lunch with Ji Mushu, Dong Yike, and Feng Linhao, and then drove home in my beat-up Mazda.
Everyone was happy along the way. After all, the combination of a holiday and the Lunar New Year makes winter vacation perhaps the most enjoyable holiday ever.
"This year has gone by so fast."
Yu Mobai sighed, "A lot has happened."
“Mo Bai, reminiscing about the past is a sign of old age.”
Feng Linhao said with a smile.
"Damn it, I'll be turning thirty next year, I'm not young anymore."
Yu Mobai replied with a grin.
"Bullshit, you're only twenty tomorrow."
Feng Linhao snorted, "How come you're almost thirty?"
"If you're over twenty, aren't you almost thirty? Am I wrong?"
Yu Mobai retorted.
"You two, stop arguing."
Dong Yike was lying on the chair, dozing off. The Ele.me company was busiest before the New Year, and Dong Yike had a lot to manage.
If it weren't for the fact that the Lunar New Year is still a little over two weeks away, she wouldn't even want to go back today. "Why are we still bickering at such an old age?"
"Yeah, it's so annoying."
Ji Mushu and Dong Yike could sit in the back seat and express their opinions.
Yu Mobai hummed a hum and then turned on the radio to play music.
"Ring~"
Dong Yike's phone suddenly rang.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
She asked lazily.
"Honey, I'm out buying groceries and I want to ask you something."
Dong Muhong's voice came from another channel.
"What's up?"
Dong Yike straightened up.
"How about we settle things between you and Mo Bai before the new year? Your dad, your Uncle Yu, Aunt Zheng, and I would like to have a meal together. What do you think?"
Dong Muhong said with a smile, "I think Mo Bai is a good kid. I'm just worried about problems between you two. The sooner it's settled, the better."
Upon hearing this, Dong Yike immediately covered the microphone and glanced warily at Ji Mushu. Fortunately, the music in the car was loud enough that she didn't hear it.
However, the next moment, Yu Mobai turned down the volume because he saw Dong Yike making a phone call in the rearview mirror.
"Holy crap..."
Dong Yike muttered a curse under her breath. She was sitting behind Yu Mobai and secretly nudged the driver's seat with her elbow.
"If you're going to call, then call. Why are you arguing with me?"
Yu Mobai shifted uncomfortably. "I've already turned the volume down for you."
Ji Mushu was playing on her phone when she heard this, so she closed the window next to her.
This creates a completely enclosed space inside the car, making it possible to hear the conversation on the phone clearly.
Dong Yike quickly said, "Mom, we're on our way. We should be home soon. Did you buy the things I like to eat?"
"I'm talking to you about serious matters, kid. What nonsense are you talking about?"
Dong Muhong was still complaining on the other end of the phone.
"I'm talking to you about something important too."
Dong Yike was extremely anxious, fearing that her mother would say those words again, "Little Mushu is right here, do you want me to ask her what she wants to eat?"
