Chapter 1331: Chapter 590: A Thought of God or Demon, Time to Go Abroad

"The master probably has the unmistakable Nansang lineage."

Bai Bufan, realizing belatedly, starts a second round of laughter.

"Bufan, considering you’re an adult, to prevent misunderstanding, I think I need to seriously educate you: the ’Li’ in ’Lisao’ means ’suffer,’ and ’Sao’ implies sorrow," Lin Li explained.

Bai Bufan nodded, "’Learning that I’m only ranked over two hundred at the end, I feel so sao.’ Teacher, is that usage correct?"

"That’s correct," Lin Li nodded with relief, "That’s exactly how you use it, well done, you’ve learned this concept. Now, let me translate the article ’Lisao’ for you in plain language—"

"My ancestor was once the Emperor, yeah! I was born on a badass day, yeah! My dad gave me a badass name, yeah! I have inner beauty, I’m a damn beauty, yeah! I stroll around covered in flowers and grass, yeah! I see the plants’ leaves turning yellow, I’m scared I’ll grow old, yeah! The King of Chu is a big dumbass, yeah! I’m so damn good-looking, yet he doesn’t fancy me, yeah! He’s blind, yeah! I’ll die to show him, yeah! The whole world is full of dumbasses, I’m the only one who’s wise."

The three girls listening on the side couldn’t hold it in anymore.

Although the translation was somewhat accurate, wasn’t it a bit too colloquial?

Five of them didn’t continue to be influenced by ’Lisao’ on the balcony. Lin Li hoped his own sense of humor wouldn’t just leave him like that. The group returned to the study to resume their previously interrupted plans or chats.

When the whole lamb was almost roasted, Chen Zhongping came up to notify them again, so the group went downstairs.

Downstairs, the roast lamb master made several cuts in the lamb, already golden and oily with a knife, then placed the whole piece on the dining table covered with prepared parchment.

The villa’s dining table, large enough to accommodate plenty more dishes and drinks with room to spare even after placing this.

But it’s not possible to eat right away. The roast lamb master has to tear all the meat off the skewers because he’s taking away the barbecue skewer that held the lamb. He can’t wait here for everyone to finish eating, and besides, once the meat is torn off, it can be seasoned again for better taste.

So, after asking if anyone needed photos taken, and receiving answers that the pictures were already taken, the master began tearing.

Though they could snack while tearing, everyone wanted to keep up appearances.

Graceful!

For example, Lin Li is now elegantly picking up a walnut, using a glass plate’s nutcracker to crack it open, extracting the kernel, and eating it.

Damn, it’s original flavor walnut, pretty tasteless.

Just considering how to convince Bai Bufan to try, a hand reaches over to take a walnut as well.

It’s Chen Zhongping.

Lin Li was preparing to pass over the nutcracker, but then heard a slight buzz from the table as Chen Zhongping swiftly cracked the walnut open with his hand.

The act was aggressive, seeming like he was extracting not just walnut kernels, but someone’s brains.

Noticing Lin Li’s gaze, Chen Zhongping smiled amicably, "As long as you’re strong enough, unless it’s a particularly hard walnut, you can crack it open. You should try it."

Got it, this is Old Deng trying to prove he’s still sprightly, not a frail old warrior, demonstrating his muscle.

Lin Li naturally couldn’t dispute with Middle Man, that would be bullying a kid. He was planning to compliment a bit...

Chen Yu Ying’s hand stretched over, taking the nutcracker from Lin Li’s hand, lightly leaving behind a sentence: "The biggest difference between humans and animals is whether they can use tools."

Chen Zhongdeng: "..."

Lin Li seemed to see Middle Man spitting blood, suddenly aging twenty years.

With Lin Li’s social skills, he knew how to heal Middle Man right now.

For example, Lin Li could now take back the nutcracker from Chen Yu Ying, then replace it with his own hand, interlocking fingers with her.

If wanting stronger effect, just go for a kiss.

Lin Li estimated that if that happened, Middle Man wouldn’t just look old, he’d be rejuvenated, furious as a grandson, restoring peak strength, literally trying to kill him.

Forget it, doing so might be a bit too much.

So, in the end, Lin Li just quietly pinched Chen Yu Ying’s little finger under the table.

Thus, as it played out, the dinner was spent in a pleasant atmosphere where only one person was slightly wounded.

After dinner, the group didn’t linger in the villa, preparing to leave.

Song Xin and Chen Zhongping knew the group had evening plans, so didn’t try to keep them, but prepared a gift for each to bring home to their families.

Finding that the portion given to Lin Li was notably less than others, Chen Zhongping was rejuvenated again.

Seems like his wife, although not explicit, actually shares a similar stance with him!

Happy! Isn’t that being united as a couple, fighting through thick and thin together!

No way did his wife let their daughter personally bring a separate gift yesterday for a visit, right? Impossible, haha!

Driving out of the villa area, the car atmosphere became even more carefree and natural.

Though Song Xin and Chen Zhongping never tried to act elder-like, elders are always elders.

"Shouldn’t we confirm if Old Jian is home now?"

Ding Sihan from the backseat asked.

Yes, although the plan was made ’last year’ to visit Xue Jian for the new year, and the visit day was confirmed the day before yesterday, no one knew if Xue Jian is home right now.
