Chapter 1060 - 478: All Eyes on Me—I’ve Got an Announcement to Make (Part 2)

Bai Bufan went to study the telescope nearby."Why is the angle fixed to only look upwards, not downwards?" Bai Bufan tried to adjust the telescope angle and found it had a limiter, so he clicked his tongue.

"What exactly do you want to see downwards, spying, right?" Lin Li glanced over.

"I would never do such a thing as spying, don’t slander me maliciously.

I also have a small one at home, always using it for good deeds. Recently I’ve been searching for half a month but still can’t find the infamous voyeur in the neighborhood who’s supposedly spying with a telescope from the balcony."

Bai Bufan, touched by the scenery, said sadly:

"Especially every time a neighbor appears on the balcony after a shower, I become extremely vigilant, yet I still find nothing. I feel they made it up to fool me, and yet I was thinking of helping them bring justice, sigh."

Lin Li could quickly discern that Bai Bufan’s words were a lie.

Because this dimwitted kid, while attempting to use the rooftop’s telescope, instinctively closed one eye and then pressed the closed eye against the eyepiece.

Assassin Zhang Wei, when did he arrive?

Bai Bufan was momentarily stunned and then wondered:

"Why doesn’t the image look any different?"

"Sometimes modern medical progress is too fast, not knowing whether it’s actually a good thing." Watching this scene, Lin Li shook his head at Chen Yu Ying.

"Hmm." Chen Yu Ying sincerely nodded, fully understanding Lin Li’s meaning—by rights, someone like Bai Bufan shouldn’t have survived birth, but modern medicine saved him.

Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu also looked at Bai Bufan with concern: "I wonder if human intervention in survival of the fittest is actually a good thing—will human genes degenerate?"

Bai Bufan: "TAT."

None of these four people held back on insulting himself.

"I won’t be abstract anymore; it’s one thing if no one understands my wit and humor, but now everyone thinks I’m an idiot." Bai Bufan said, feeling sad.

The group then really used the telescope.

Though clearly not a professional-grade astronomical telescope, the quality wasn’t too bad. Once adjusted, they could see a few lone stars shining dimly between the clouds, roughly identifiable as Orion’s belt.

And the easily visible Polaris, through the telescope, showed an even clearer, realistic outline.

The weather wasn’t particularly good today, combined with the neon light pollution from the business district, so being able to see these images was already quite a reward.

Unfortunately, it’s not possible to capture them on a phone.

The food ordered started arriving as the five took turns using the telescope, so they stopped hogging it and returned to their seats.

It was now past nine, coupled with the exhaustion from shopping earlier; everyone had more or less developed an appetite.

Let’s eat.

...

"Why do you keep piling food on me? Did I offend you somehow?" Bai Bufan stared coldly at Lin Li.

"Because tripe hardens if cooked too long, and I accidentally dropped too much just now."

Lin Li calmly replied, continuing to use the public chopsticks to give Bai Bufan more tripe, and also served the three girls across from him.

They were much more polite, saying thank you at times like these, unlike Bai Bufan, the ungrateful one, who questioned this way.

"Ah he he—!!"

The girls looked up, as did Lin Li and Bai Bufan.

It was two little kids who’d been playing outside a few minutes ago.

Children generally have shrill voices, and these two kept running, jumping, and shouting, quite ear-piercing. Most guests on the rooftop frowned slightly, hoping their parents or a waiter would intervene.

But no hero appeared.

Bai Bufan scratched his ear and shook his head: "I completely understood ’the customer is king’ now."

"In this situation, the store can’t really intervene," Ding Sihan nodded, "everyone paid so much; the store is likely aware of their fault and won’t dare to act."

Ding Sihan thought, the proper place for troublesome kids should be an animal zoo exhibit or released in nature.

"Dingzi, you misunderstood Bufan’s meaning," Lin Li laughed upon hearing, "saying ’the customer is king,’ he meant that as God’s children, they’re really more suited to be nailed to a cross rather than acting freely."

Ding Sihan: "(;☉_☉)?"

"Cough, cough." Almost choking on tripe, Ding Sihan took water handed by Chen Yu Ying and cleared her throat, then shook her head in helplessness.

Her path to growth is still long.

Underestimating Lin Bai’s kind of creature’s bloodlust.

But before Lin Li could get up and think of a way to gather some drowsiness to quiet these kids, presumably their parents emerged from the indoor area and took them back inside.

Better them than me, so it didn’t matter—the outdoor area returned to quietness.

Hotpot, as long as the ingredients aren’t too bad and the broth is excellent, can’t taste too awful.

Plus, being outside in winter adds warmth, making the flavor somewhat decent. But of course, these comments are regardless of price.

If truly ignoring the price, there’d barely be spots tonight.

"Click—"

Lin Li and Bai Bufan’s chopsticks met.

In a romance anime, this would be plot.

In Chengdu, it counts as a romance anime.

But this is just ordinary reality, so they simply targeted the one piece of chicken already cooked in the pot.
