Chapter 1254: Chapter 553: Bai Bufan Is Actually a Guy Who Always Talks About Being Laid-Back, But Is Softer-Hearted Than Anyone Else

Playing with tickling mice.

"Bufan, thank you for willingly lending me your phone. You’re the best brother I’ve ever had in this life." Lin Li returned the phone to Bai Bufan with sincere gratitude.

"Haha."

At this moment, finally freed, Bai Bufan apathetically uttered two ’ha’s.

After retrieving his phone and reviewing the chat log once more, although some messages were sent just minutes ago, Bai Bufan was too lazy to retract any, as he discovered a more urgent matter—

"Lin Li, I feel a bump on my wrist that’s throbbing. Could there be a worm inside? Is there a machete in the car? I’ll dig it out."

"Oh wow, there really is!" Lin Li glanced at Bai Bufan’s wrist and indeed saw a long, vein-like worm sitting where the human pulse should be, quickly offering assistance.

"No machete, will scissors do?"

"Yes, thank you!"

"You’re welcome!"

"What the—?! You’re really welcome, huh?! You wicked beast!!!"

...

As soon as Qu Wanqiu reached downstairs, she saw the killer Lin Li chasing Bai Bufan around the car with scissors.

Ignoring Bai Bufan’s cries for help and Lin Li’s evening greetings, Qu Wanqiu opened the back door and got in.

"Brother Langzi, it’s all your fault. It’s because you didn’t follow the character setting of ’wrapping the girl’s thin shoulders with a warm coat’, Jiujiu felt the disparity, otherwise we wouldn’t be subjected to this silent treatment."

Upon seeing this, Lin Li spat scornfully, helplessly getting in the car.

"Damn it." Bai Bufan also got in, sitting in the front passenger seat, only flipping a middle finger.

If he were called Brother Langzi for a whole night, Lin Li would be doomed.

A warrior’s wrath, blood flows within a hundred steps.

This is no joke.

Previously, there was a neighbor who didn’t leash their dog.

Under Bai Bufan’s cunning strategy, he successfully saw the neighbor cursing his innocent dog while cleaning up the poop he left at their doorstep.

Some might ask, what’s so cunning about this?

No need to explain the cunning mind, devising such a tactic is already considered remarkable wisdom, and as for bravery, it’s also easy to understand. Even if one thought of such a plan, few would dare to execute it.

But I, Bai Bufan, dare!

Am I not truly deserving of being called both cunning and brave!?

If I were to be called Brother Langzi all night, Lin Li should prepare for Wu Min to curse him while cleaning up what I’ve left at his doorstep!

In Bai Bufan’s daydream filled with Ah Q spirit, the car had already driven back to Xiling to pick up Chen Yu Ying and Ding Sihan.

The process was appropriately detailed and concise.

There’s truly no bias this time, each had their detailed parts.

Ying Bao’s outfit today was a charcoal gray cashmere coat, though a coat, it didn’t look bulky when worn. The belt cinched at the back, causing the fabric to drape and highlighting the graceful curve of the waistline. Underneath was a fitted white velvet turtleneck sweater, complemented by flowy wide-leg pants, the pant legs fluttering gently in the breeze as she walked, the seams subtly outlining her leg shape, making her look long and lean when standing still. It kept her warm while perfectly showcasing her curves, paired with specially styled long hair tips and a very subtle yet exquisite makeup, once again delivered a critical hit to Lin Li.

Oh right, Ying Bao is also a human being.

Ding Sihan’s outfit today was clothing, pants, and shoes.

Oh right, Ding Sihan is also a walking biological miracle, a meticulously crafted organism composed of roughly 60% water skillfully blended with proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and various minerals and trace elements. Tens of trillions of cells collaborate symbiotically within her, driving complex symphonies of metabolism, nerve conduction, and life’s continuation. In the vast spectrum of life, she is rigorously classified under Kingdom Animalia, Phylum Chordata, Class Mammalia, Order Primates, Family Hominidae, Genus Homo, Species Homo sapiens, one of the planet’s unique forms of intelligent life.

"Are you all settled? Then let’s go." Lin Li snapped his fingers as the final piece of the puzzle, Chen Yu Ying, got in and sat down.

"Let’s go, let’s go!"

Although the supervision over setting off fireworks in Nansang isn’t strict, it’s still relatively regulated.

Some fireworks prepared in the trunk are medium-to-large-sized and require specific venue conditions, so to enjoy the fun without bothering anyone, they need to go to some designated areas.

The destination was predetermined and not far, just on the town’s edge, a mere ten-minute drive.

"By what time do you all need to be home tonight?"

As they drove off, Lin Li glanced through the rearview mirror at the "three people" in the backseat to inquire.

No need to ask Bai Bufan, a man leaves home and follows the wind where it takes him.

"Tonight, I’m sure we can stay out later than on New Year’s Day, no need to rush home by midnight, two or three in the morning should be ok?

If we play even later, I should be able to call in and it should be fine, after all, there’s school after New Year’s, but it’s winter break now, no need to pay New Year’s visits on the first, my parents won’t mind." Ding Sihan answered.

"We certainly won’t stay out that late. After twelve, we might set off another round or two of fireworks, estimating around one-thirty, two o’clock? Yes, we’ll start sending everyone home." Lin Li responded.

"That works for me." Qu Wanqiu nodded.

"Same for me," Chen Yu Ying nodded as well, "and my family has a tradition of staying up for the New Year’s Eve. My mom might sleep early, but my dad probably won’t sleep until morning, so timing shouldn’t be a concern, don’t worry."

"Really not a concern?" Remembering a certain detail just now, Lin Li replied in a slightly odd and chilly tone:
