Chapter 1057 - 477: So She Was Just a Substitute
Besides, the place has telescopes and outdoor projectors and other services to pass the time, enough for us to kill time.We’ll just go eat, drink, chat, and grab a balloon, wait till midnight to join the countdown, how about that?"
"Sounds great, totally doable."
At moments like "Three People and a Dog," Lin Li and Bai Bufan usually play the role of agreement, seldom disagreeing.
There’s really no need to disagree, as "Three People" always consider their perspective in the arrangements.
This time is no exception.
They don’t enjoy squeezing in crowds, except the class bulletin board and corridor rail stacking, that’s a little quirk among the boys in Class 4, doesn’t count.
Plus, though Lin Li only set out around six, with a round trip it’s past eight now, not very hungry yet, but hotpot is meant to be eaten slowly, chatting while eating, wait till midnight, and release balloons with everyone downstairs, the ritual feeling is fulfilled too.
Tonight was meant to be a surprise, never intended to be grand or spectacular,
Coming up with such a plan in such a short time is already impressive.
"But is there room? Wouldn’t want to find out we need to wait 5 hours to queue, that would be disastrous." Lin Li asked.
"There should be room, because that place knows its advantage tonight, the table fees are extremely high, and besides table fees, there’s a spending requirement in the shop,"
Ding Sihan nodded and then looked up at Lin Li:
"So if we’re going, it’s going to cost a lot, if you’re hosting, that’s a bit much, maybe Lin Li you cover half, we contribute the rest?"
"Hey," Bai Bufan raised a finger to the sky, with strong opinions:
"Why ’we’? Why include me? You guys have thin skin, don’t drag me into it, I’m thick-skinned, refusing moral coercion, I have no morals, and I won’t pay for the rest either.
You’re ambitious, I’m not, this kind of mob behavior is really excessive."
Ding Sihan: "..."
Why are you so self-righteous!!
Bai Bufan should really call Lin Li dad.
"Bufan speaks like a human for once, Dingzi, send me the spot,"
Lin Li chuckled, pulling out his phone as he replied:
"Also, Dingzi, Jiujiu, don’t forget, besides Young Master Lin, there’s Miss Chen in the car, me covering half is fine, couldn’t she cover the other half?"
Chen Yu Ying: "I follow Lin Li, his idea is my idea."
Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu looked at Chen Yu Ying in surprise, wondering why she’d suddenly say something so cheesy, only to see Chen Yu Ying, face slightly red, show her phone—
"Lin Li: After I finish speaking add ’I follow Lin Li,’ please ’kneel down’ ’kneel down’."
Ding Sihan, Qu Wanqiu: "..."
Suddenly it’s not cheesy anymore, it’s a little numbing.
But they aren’t fussy people, having said so, no need for further courtesy: "Alright, since you insist, Wanqiu and I will give you this face, sending the location now."
"Got it."
After inputting the specific location into the car’s navigation, Lin Li drove off.
Naturally, Lin Li was first greeted by a barrage of curious questions from the girls in the back seat, about the car, about the driver’s license, and about tonight.
Once those curiosities were mostly answered, the "Three People" started chatting away, joyfully.
Online chatting and real-life chatting are ultimately different.
And tonight is all too sudden, although it’s just sitting in a car, it feels different to them.
Maybe youth shouldn’t be by the book.
Suddenness can bring joy.
Listening to the cheerful chatter, Lin Li also smiled, feeling a bit dry from all the talking, took a big sip from the cup in the console and exclaimed:
"Oh—so good!!"
That "oh—so good" struck a poor memory from the morning, Bai Bufan looked at Lin Li with a mix of amusement and unease:
"What are you drinking, three hundred a cup coffee? Let me have a sip."
"No, it’s vodka, pure, the one too harsh on the throat, want it? Take it but don’t drink directly from it." Lin Li replied seriously.
"Oh, vodka, then never mind, I really don’t like it." Bai Bufan nodded.
"..."
"..."
Lin Li: "Bufan, why does the traffic light ahead have nine lights, and they’re moving?"
Bai Bufan: "(;☉_☉)?"
Bai Bufan suddenly realized, maybe the previous conversation shouldn’t have been so casual—
"Wait, wait!!!"
"Lin Li! Tell you dammit! What are you drinking!!"
"You’re drinking fucking vodka!! Who the hell let you drink and drive!" Bai Bufan laughed and scolded.
Then Bai Bufan felt a bit guilty.
His lack of focus almost let this joke slip past, even needing Lin Li to remind him, this mistake was too silly, outright embarrassing.
Going back to write a reflec...
Damn! There’s still a thousand-word reflection to write for Xue Jian!
Bai Bufan’s expression grew more somber.
"Why can’t you drink while driving," Lin Li replied with a differing opinion:
"Bufan, did you study seatbelts? Fun fact, the buckle can perfectly serve as a bottle opener to open alcohol, just a little whimsy and easter egg from the designer, fearing the driver wouldn’t have anything to open bottles while drinking and driving."
"That’s not fun fact, it’s wild fact."
