Chapter 1272: Chapter 561: Gentlemen, Hear the Dragon’s Roar

Lin Li suspects that Brother Lifeng is Mouse.

Because he just ate rat poison and died with a snap.

Of course, if Brother Lifeng ate it and didn’t die, Lin Li would still have something to say – then he must have turned into a mouse spirit.

"Cousin, I’m like a mouse in the sewer, only able to hide in the dark, damp sewer, peeking at others’ happiness from afar. I was lucky enough to crawl out of the sewer, watching the glaring sunlight almost melt me, I long for happiness desperately. The rain drenched me, I was kicked to the roadside hard, not knowing whether it was dirty water or my tears mixed with the rain. You’ve won completely, cousin, I’m done talking, I’m going back to the cave in Castle Tribe to eat, the world outside is too dazzling, I better go back..."

Brother Lifeng, who failed to create a fake suicide scene, glanced at Lin Li’s phone and discovered that Chen Yu Ying had actually started sending messages to Lin Li actively, and his heart was completely shattered.

Shrimp and pig heart!

Shrimp and pig heart indeed!

"Bro, it’s not that bad—not so pessimistic, not to mention whether you are a mouse or not, even mice would have true love."

Seeing Brother Lifeng’s genuine despair, Lin Li couldn’t even bother responding to Ying Bao’s message, feeling he might have indeed gone too far, he stood up without hesitation:

"Bro! This time I’ll really help you!!"

Brother Lifeng didn’t even have time to continue rendering his misery, hesitated, and followed Lin Li who had already rushed out of the lobby.

It seems Lin Li is up to some trick again.

Going outside, he saw Lin Li currently flipping stones around the ground and corners of the door.

"Lin Li, what... are you doing here?"

A little bit confused by this setup and Lin Li’s intention, Brother Lifeng approached and asked, bewildered.

"Looking for a wife for you, bro!!" Lin Li didn’t even lift his head, continuing to flip stones.

Brother Lifeng’s mouth twitched slightly, raising one eyebrow, he gave a soft "Hm": "What do you mean by flipping stones to find me a wife?"

"Found them! Two of them! Brother Lifeng! You can open a harem! And it’s a sister stew! Gotta eat, gotta eat!" Lin Li suddenly exclaimed excitedly, pointing at the ground cheerfully.

Brother Lifeng stepped forward expressionlessly.

Just under the stone Lin Li overturned, two oval-shaped gray-brown bugs were scurrying around.

"Wow~ It’s actually a wa-ter-melon bug?" Brother Lifeng did a mock reading "Wow" and his intonation fluctuated with each word as he pronounced the bug’s name.

"Incorrect, bro, it’s an isopod of the genus Armadillidium in the family Armadillidiidae, known as woodlouse." Lin Li showed an earnest smile, "Yes, woodlouse."

Brother Lifeng laughed.

——[And even mice would have true love].

Your damn mouse love is just woodlouse, huh.

"You call yourself a mouse! You really take me as a mouse, don’t you?"

"Lin Li! Stop right there! Today I’ll make sure your family line ends! I will rescue Auntie San! Let her fully escape misery!! Stop!!!"

"You are a human, Lao Da married as a businessman’s wife, Lao Da is also your girlfriend, right?"

"Bro! I’m wrong! I’m wrong!"

"Damn Super Beast! You even shout out ’brother’ just to beg for mercy?! Go to heck!!"

On the second day of the new year, Lin Li, passed away.

...

At noon, the New Year greeting banquet officially began.

Though it was a banquet, it mostly consisted of some home-cooked dishes. After all, the people cooking them weren’t professional chefs, just grandma and uncles or aunts responsible for cooking, except the ingredients were a bit pricier and the cooking method a bit more elaborate.

But, although the people eating the banquet were about the same as at the wedding banquet before, the dishes were not as good, yet the atmosphere was completely different—

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year, cheers, cheers!"

Much more lively.

After all, this was a completely private occasion, with no unfamiliar faces around, no need for restraint and moderation.

The third glass of wine, five flavors of dishes.

Warmth filled the lobby, the aroma of food mingled with faint alcohol, permeating the unique excitement and relaxation of the New Year.

But as topics wandered to all corners, inevitably they were drawn back to some eternal themes like a magnetic pull.

——The interrogation of Qin Xuan and Brother Lifeng.

Especially with grandma still present, older folks usually don’t have much appetite or strong teeth, the truth enjoyment comes from the festivity of young generations gathering, the lively atmosphere. They wouldn’t mind sitting at the banquet all day long.

"Xuan," Uncle took a sip of white wine, his cheeks slightly reddened, "You see, Qi and He have gotten engaged and their days are sweet, you’re not young anymore, you should really pay attention to personal issues, your mom doesn’t say it, but she’s worried."

"Yes, that’s right, I’m worried too, ouch—"

——This sentence came from Lin Li, the sucking in air might be from getting his toe run over by a truck.

Qin Xuan didn’t even lift her eyelids, no special reason, just familiar: "Uncle, what’s the rush, good matches are destined by heaven, can’t be forced, aren’t I fine? Free and easy, doing whatever I want, besides, there’s still Miao Miao to worry about, I, as the sister, shouldn’t I be more concerned?"

"Don’t bother yourself with that!" Aunt immediately chimed in, glaring at her daughter: "I think you’re just making excuses! Free and easy, so free that you can only watch dramas at home during New Year, right?"

Qin Xuan: "Bleh bleh bleh~"

After all, it’s her own mom, so she could deal with it casually.

Grandma: "A few days ago, Da Huang found a mate."

Qin Xuan, Brother Lifeng: "?"

Grandma, that’s a bit hurtful.

A long-tethered Da Huang trotted over upon hearing his name, but knowing Qin Xuan was slightly afraid of dogs, grandma casually tossed him a few bones, getting him to lay back down on a cushion in the corner.
