Chapter 159 Getting ready to go home
If you keep chatting like this, you'll get into a vicious cycle.
It's like two people are about to get married, and the man says to the woman, "If you don't marry me, how am I supposed to buy you a house?"
The woman said to the man, "How can I marry you if you don't buy a house?"
Ye Lan wanted to know Lin Xueyao's purpose before considering being with her, but Lin Xueyao insisted on being with her before telling Ye Lan her purpose.
The two of them remained frozen in place.
"Are you going to refuse to be my friend or family member?" Lin Xueyao's cheeks were puffed out, as white and smooth as steamed buns.
"Yes." Ye Lan refused without hesitation.
If this is truly a binding agreement, he'll never be able to clear his name, no matter how hard he tries.
"Fine, you forced me to do this."
Looking at the message from Lin Xueyao, Ye Lan curled her lips in disdain, thinking to herself, "What do you have to threaten me with?"
[You have received a WeChat transfer message; 2 yuan has been transferred to your account.]
[You have received a WeChat transfer message; 2 yuan has been transferred to your account.]
[You have received a WeChat transfer message; 2 yuan has been transferred to your account.]
[You have received a WeChat transfer message; 2 yuan has been transferred to your account.]
[You have received a WeChat transfer message; 2 yuan has been transferred to your account.]
......
The message popped up five times in a row before it stopped.
Ye Lan froze on the spot, her mind buzzing as if countless little bees were swirling around inside.
He was increasingly unable to understand what Lin Xueyao was thinking.
But it's so domineering, I love it!
He was incredibly fast; in just a few quick movements, he received all five transfers.
100,000 yuan has been received!
Lin Xueyao: "I've received the money, so now we can officially become a couple, right?"
"No problem, Miss. If you had come up with this earlier, wouldn't I have agreed already?"
Ye Lan's smile was even harder to suppress than AK's at this moment, and it radiated across his face.
"Hmph, materialistic man." Lin Xueyao curled her lip.
"If that's how you put it, then I'll have to test whether you're truly sincere towards me."
"My feelings for you are absolutely genuine, truer than pearls! I swear!"
Ye Lan logged back into the game, opened her email, and accepted Lin Xueyao's couple request.
The two of them ended up in a romantic relationship without really understanding what was going on.
However, for Ye Lan, the relationship between lovers didn't actually have any special meaning.
Elementary and middle school students care about couples' spaces, but he is already a mature adult.
Unless it's a marriage certificate, nothing else can bind him.
After dealing with Lin Xueyao's matter, Ye Lan went to the kitchen to find something to eat.
Ning Caicai hasn't come back yet, and probably won't be back tonight either.
So all he needs to do is cook for himself.
However, cooking is still too difficult for him; he still does the same old thing.
Heat the leftovers in the microwave, then take out the noodles from the refrigerator. Once the water boils, you can add the noodles.
Time passed second by second, and the water gradually boiled, with bubbling bubbles constantly rising and steam rising.
Ye Lan grabbed a handful of noodles and threw them into the pot, stirring them constantly with chopsticks to prevent them from sticking together.
Just then, he received a message.
It was sent by my mom, Zhang Fengxia.
"Son, do you have some free time lately? The family needs you!"
Startled, Ye Lan dropped her chopsticks and, to show respect, typed with both hands, hurriedly asking:
"What's wrong, Mom? Did something happen at home? Could it be that Dad's leg still isn't healed after his fall?"
"No, your dad and I have a team building event at our company recently. It's a bit far away, so we'd like you to come back and take care of your sister, since she's not an adult yet."
Seeing this, Ye Lan's furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and her expression changed from stern to relaxed.
"My sister comes home once a week for school, right? Your company's team building activities should be similar, right?"
“My sister is obedient and sensible. She has no bad friends and doesn’t run around. There’s nothing to worry about.”
Ye Lan felt that it was inappropriate for her to say that she was going back to take care of her younger sister.
After he went back, he did nothing but cause trouble and add to the burden.
His younger sister, Ye Wanying, can do everything from laundry and cooking to cleaning; she can take good care of herself.
Looking at myself, I'm almost a 20-year-old man, and I still have to reheat leftovers and cook noodles for dinner.
"This team building trip is a bit far away, and it might be a long time before we get back. Your sister just finished her midterm exams, and the parent-teacher conference is coming up soon, so we had to call you back."
"Aren't you two just ordinary factory workers? How far can a team-building trip go? Isn't a week enough?"
Ye Lan frowned; he really didn't want to go back.
Firstly, the live streaming business was just starting to take off, and they didn't want to frequently change the live streaming environment.
Secondly, I'd be too lonely and bored after going back.
My younger sister, Ye Wanying, is still a student. She focuses on her studies on weekdays and only comes home in the evenings and on weekends.
In other words, it's quite lonely to be alone in an empty room.
This is why Ye Lan chose to share an apartment.
Living alone in the old house for so long almost made me sick.
Humans are, after all, social animals; if they are isolated for too long, they may even lose their ability to speak.
Therefore, Ye Lan did not want to go back; he was somewhat resistant to the idea from the bottom of his heart.
"This team building trip is really far away, in Australia. I guess it will take at least a month to get back."
Upon seeing this message, a hint of suspicion flashed across Ye Lan's face.
"Mom, stop lying. Your excuse is so flimsy."
Ye Lan laid her cards on the table.
His parents were just ordinary employees at a chemical plant; they certainly wouldn't be given the opportunity to go abroad for team building.
There's only one possibility then: she's lying!
"Was it because when I was pregnant with you, you and the roundworms in my belly merged? How come I can't fool you?" Zhang Fengxia's tone was somewhat reproachful.
Her carefully crafted lie didn't even last five minutes before Ye Lan saw through it.
"Alright, just tell me what it's all about," Ye Lan urged impatiently.
"Your dad was watching an ad and played a quiz game with a prize. He won the grand prize: a trip to Australia! It includes round-trip airfare and a luxury villa for two months!"
Ye Lan pursed her lips, her face showing a speechless expression.
"Was my dad's broken leg because he was too excited about winning the lottery?"
"You really can't hide anything from me." Upon seeing the message, Zhang Fengxia's face broke into a bright smile, and the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes faded considerably.
"Your dad and I have worked hard for half our lives and never really had a chance to relax, so we want to take this opportunity to go out and have some fun."
Since things had been said to this extent, Ye Lan, as the son, naturally had no reason to refuse.
"Okay, I'll pack my things and go back in a few days."
