The system is very abstract, fortunately I am also.

Chapter 484's summary is excellent; don't do it again next time!
You, this enthusiastic older brother... don't sound like a good person at all.

Question: Lin Li's friend now has a biological father and a cousin. Is the biological father the biological father or the cousin? And is the cousin the cousin or the biological father?

In short, this example of a kind neighbor, who was suspected to be surnamed Wang, successfully swayed Wu Lifeng, who was originally determined to believe that "a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative."

At least distant relatives are far from your wife.

"Sister Xuan and Miao Miao are here."

However, before Wu Lifeng could dwell on this issue, he caught a glimpse of a new figure entering the hall and spoke to Lin Li.

A woman holding a little boy's hand.

The woman smiled and waved as she met Lin Li's gaze, then her expression changed drastically as she looked down at the little boy and said something.

Qin Xuan, the eldest daughter of her aunt's side, is half a year older than Fang Qihe and is the oldest among the younger generation. As for the little boy she is holding hands with, he is not her son, but her younger brother, who was born to her parents late in life. His nickname is Miaomiao.

Qin Xuan actually has a younger sister, but she is studying at a university in another city and didn't come back for New Year's Day.

Qin Xuan and Miao Miao sat down next to Lin Li.

Seeing that Qin Xuan was still scolding and even slapping Miao Miao's hand after she sat down, Lin Li asked curiously, "Sister Xuan, what's wrong with Miao Miao?"

“Indeed, hitting children is not a good thing.” Wu Lifeng nodded in agreement.

Qin Xuan didn't answer directly, but instead asked Lin Li, "Lin Li, Ah Feng, do you two have any snacks on you?"

"I didn't."

"I happen to have one here." Lin Li reached into his pocket, conjured a piece of candy, and handed it to Qin Xuan.

"Lin Li, give this to Miao Miao."

"Miaomiao, here you go." Lin Li did as instructed.

Miaomiao, who was choking with sobs, accepted the candy and stopped crying slightly.

Qin Xuan gazed at her younger brother, who was, in some ways, like her son: "Miao Miao, your brother has something for you. What do you want to say?"

Upon hearing this, Miao Miao looked up at Lin Li earnestly and asked, "Brother, is there any more?"

Lin Li and Wu Lifeng: "Oo?"

Qin Xuan: "I've been talking to you for ages and you didn't listen to a thing, did you?!"

"You mean thank you!!"

Upon hearing this, Miao Miao looked up at Lin Li sincerely and asked, "Thank you, is there anything else?"

Qin Xuan took a deep breath and then smiled.

With a sense of relief, Qin Xuan placed her bag on the chair, dragged Miao Miao out, and said coldly as she turned back, "I'm going out to deal with this unfortunate family matter."

“Sometimes kids really do need to be disciplined.” Wu Lifeng’s change of mind came very naturally.

Lin Li, however, held a different view. He frowned slightly and said, "This isn't exactly unfortunate. I think this child has a promising future and is quite lucky."

Upon hearing this, Wu Lifeng took a deep look at the person in front of him who resembled the person Miao Miao might become when she grew up.

Objectively speaking, Wu Lifeng believes that Lin Li's evaluation is too subjective.

At this point, the victim, Wu Min, should be invited to speak, rather than the perpetrator acting as the judge.

After catching up briefly, Lin Li opened a group chat on his phone.

But at this point, everyone was either already at school or on their way there, so there were no new messages in the gaming group.

A whole bunch of software started popping up last year's annual reports.

Look at this year's annual reports, what kind of garbage are they?

"Morning Check-in: June 13th, 6:04.37 AM. You're awake! A beautiful new day begins with watching 'How to Quickly Find and Kill Those Damn Mosquitoes in Your Room.'"

"A day of explosive curiosity: March 17th, you went to bed late, at 3:03.46 AM, you were still searching for 'how long and thick a golden python can a human pull out,' swimming in the ocean of knowledge."

"On February 27th, you slept very late. At 2:1.46 AM, 'Dayuan Pharmacy' delivered 20ml glycerin suppositories/sachets and other supplies to you. This medication must have been very helpful! We will definitely work even harder to take care of you from now on."

Lin Li: "☉_☉"

Forget it, stop reading.

No need.

It would be impolite to keep looking.

Lin Li glanced at Wu Lifeng beside him, wondering if Wu Lifeng had just seen him reading the annual report or what, but Wu Lifeng was also reading it at that moment.

Glanced.

"The most common note you leave on Meituan is, 'Boss, how many dogs do you have at home? If you have any extra duck butts, give me a few.'"

Lin Li frowned slightly, realizing that things weren't so simple: "Brother, do you have a dog at home? When? Isn't Uncle allergic?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Lifeng's fingers trembled slightly. He then silently pressed the home button, waited a second, and calmly looked up at Lin Li:

"Don't worry about this. It's my family matter. Lin Li, you're just my cousin. You've overstepped your bounds."

Lin Li's expression also calmed down. After a moment, he couldn't help but sincerely ask, "Is the duck's butt delicious?"

Wu Lifeng: "It smells delicious if there's no poop, but it gets oily if you eat too much."

What are the chances of it being poop?

"Very low, but not non-existent."

Does poop taste good?

"Unappetizing."

"Understood, cousin, thank you."

"You're welcome, cousin."

The atmosphere was perfectly normal; both of them remained calm, even deliberately expressionless. Finally, Wu Lifeng couldn't hold back any longer and waved his hand, deciding to change the subject.
"Stop looking at these annual reports. Have you ever been me? You just write reports randomly and make assumptions. Let's kill time by playing games. Lin Li, what have you been playing lately?"

"I haven't really played games much lately. I only play when friends invite me to join in, and I mostly play PC games. As for mobile games... I only occasionally play them when they invite me." Lin Li shrugged.

No game is as fun as cultivating, chatting, or the internet.

"Don't people play Genshin Impact anymore? Did you know that Genshin Impact has been giving out freebies lately?" Wu Lifeng asked in surprise.

"What kind of perks are they giving out now? 8000 Mora? I think the players' voices are still too harsh."

"No, that's not true," Wu Lifeng chuckled. "You can get 30GB of free memory just by clicking uninstall. I've already claimed it, why don't you give it a try?"

"Oh, this one? I've already received this one!" Lin Li gave a thumbs up.

During the casual conversation, Qin Xuan and Miao Miao returned, and the other guests arrived and took their seats one after another. The engagement banquet was about to officially begin.

"Dear friends and family, good evening! On this joyous occasion of bidding farewell to the old year and welcoming the new, we gather in the brightly lit Huaya Hall to witness the engagement of Mr. Fang Qihe and Ms. Yu Liu!"
On this auspicious day, a joyous occasion celebrates this perfect union. The hall is filled with laughter and joy, overflowing with happiness and warmth. The stars of fate are in motion; this is a match made in heaven…

Once most people had arrived, the lights in the hall were slightly adjusted, and the emcee officially began the proceedings.

As everyone at the table focused their attention on and offered their blessings to the newlyweds, a slightly discordant sound came from within the table:
"Xuan, Qihe is already engaged. You're a bit older than him. When are you getting engaged?"

Girls are much more troublesome than boys when they get older. Your parents are worried sick. It'll be terrible if no one wants you later.

She is my maternal uncle's wife.

The question wasn't malicious; she had a good relationship with Qin Xuan's parents and wasn't deliberately trying to make things difficult for Qin Xuan.

After all, this is a topic that can never be avoided when elders are present, especially since this is an engagement banquet. In fact, even if the aunt doesn't bring it up, other elders will definitely bring it up.

This is a common experience for older single people, regardless of gender.

"No rush, no rush," Qin Xuan was used to it, so she just smiled ingratiatingly when she heard this, "No one will be unwanted, there will always be someone in this world waiting for me."

One of the women present scoffed in annoyance, "Waiting for you? Who? The King of Hell?"

Qin Xuan: "..." Without a doubt, the only person who could be so aggressive yet still laugh and remain cheerful, without any awkwardness in the atmosphere, is Qin Xuan's own mother.

"Mom—that's so rude of you, spit it out!" Qin Xuan said plaintively.

"Heh," Auntie sneered again, "Your aunt is hoping you'll get engaged, but you haven't even dated yet. What can you order? Takeout?"

Your sister's already dating someone at school, and you, you haven't even started anything, you're such a disappointment.

"No rush, no rush~"

Lin Li stood aside, happily watching the drama unfold.

Fortunately, Wu Min didn't tell her other relatives that she was also dating. Otherwise, if her aunt mentioned that "even Lin Li is dating," oh dear, she would be doomed. The topic would immediately focus on her, and Sister Xuan's death sentence would be suspended.

"Everyone else is anxious, but you're not." The aunt rubbed her temples in frustration. "You won't even meet the blind date we found for you, tsk."

Qin Xuan: "I think 'you' are right. That guy called 'Everyone' really has a short temper."

Auntie: "..."

The uncle-in-law glanced at Fang Qihe and Yu Liu, who had already begun exchanging engagement rings, then looked at Qin Xuan and chose a roundabout tactic:

"Xuan, look how sweet Qihe and Xiaoliu are now. Isn't it wonderful? Now that you're watching them get engaged, don't you have any thoughts?"

Qin Xuan: Yes.

My uncle's eyes lit up: "What's your idea?"

Qin Xuan: "When will the food be served?"

Lin Li raised an eyebrow and looked at Qin Xuan with respect—this woman actually has the looks of a treasure!
As for his uncle, the light in his eyes went out, completely...out: "Wanting a grandson...I'm afraid that's hopeless for the next two years..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Xuan turned around to prepare the materials for the spell. After succeeding, he patted Miao Miao on the shoulder.

Miao Miao looked at her uncle-in-law: "Grandpa."

After shouting, Miao Miao looked back at Qin Xuan expectantly, and Qin Xuan did not disappoint him. She took another piece of candy from Lin Li and handed it to him.

Miao Miao was very satisfied, and it seemed that Qin Xuan's education had had some effect. He first called out "Grandpa" to his father as a positive review, and then looked at Lin Li: "Brother, is there anything else?"

At least it's not about asking directly, but about giving first and then taking, isn't that a big step forward?

Qin Xuan ignored him this time and looked at her father with satisfaction: "Dad, now you can hold your grandson."

Uncle-in-law: "..."

Oh, no.

"Now that I have a grandson, what about my son?" he asked.

“Dad, one shouldn’t be too greedy,” she replied.

"..."

"..."

"You shouldn't have let Lin Li play with you when you were little..." After a few seconds of silence, the uncle-in-law made a sad and distressed conclusion.

Lin Li: "oO?"

Go against Tiangang.

How can you blame this on me? That's going a bit too far.
Judging from her age, isn't it obvious that Qin Xuan has led her astray?
How could someone as insignificant as myself have such a large influence? Slander, malicious slander.

However, upon hearing that he had been mentioned, Lin Li stopped merely observing and offered a word of comfort to his uncle:
"Uncle, don't worry, Sister Xuan isn't unwanted. It seems there's a company executive pursuing her right now, and he messages her frequently."

"Really?" My uncle's eyes lit up again.

Qin Xuan was stunned. Although she didn't know what Lin Li was going to say, she knew that she had to cover her mouth at this moment!

late.

Lin Li: "Yeah, I think his title is something like Luckin Coffee's Chief Welfare Officer. I just saw him texting Sister Xuan."

It went out, then went out again. My aunt's husband felt he would never love again.

I was so stupid, really, how could I have believed what Lin Li said...

The engagement ceremony didn't take too long. After all, everyone was gathered around mealtime, and if the pre-wedding process took too long, they would probably go hungry. Soon, after everyone stood up to toast the newlyweds at the emcee's request, the banquet was officially announced to begin.

The waiters who had just finished cooking but hadn't rushed in because of the procedures immediately filed in and began heating up the dishes for each table.

Noticing the occasional malicious glances from an older single woman beside him, Lin Li kept his eyes down and ate his meal quietly.

Lin Li had also witnessed Qin Xuan's sudden flash of inspiration.

Lin Li was very familiar with this look, because it often appeared on him.

This means you have some clever ideas.

Therefore, I must be extremely cautious.

"Lin Li, this is quite delicious, you can try it." Sure enough, after a short while, Qin Xuan, seemingly unable to conceal her dagger, unfolded the map of Yan and said to Lin Li with a gentle smile.

Lin Li wasn't in a hurry. He nodded upon hearing this, but decided to observe first.

After noticing that the people at the table did not object to the dish Qin Xuan pointed out, they picked up a small piece with their chopsticks and ate it.

The taste was actually alright.

Lin Li then turned his gaze to Qin Xuan: "So, what's your next plan?"

Seeing Lin Li's posture, Qin Xuan frowned, feeling a bit of a headache.

The vigilance was written all over their faces.

This is probably something we can't let him get infected with.

A moment later, Qin Xuan decided to make a decision that went against her ancestors' wishes. She beckoned to Lin Li, and after Lin Li cautiously approached, she whispered something in his ear.

……

"Brother, wow, this is delicious!" Lin Li said to Wu Lifeng after eating a dish.

"Really?" Although he had no grudge against Lin Li today, the person being recommended to him was named Lin Li, so Wu Lifeng still had a basic sense of vigilance and only slightly raised his guard.

"Hey, it's really delicious!" He then nodded with a brightening expression.

“How could the engagement banquet that Brother He prepared so carefully be bad? Besides, Brother, isn’t this the best way to eat it?” Lin Li picked up a whole chopstickful of food with his chopsticks, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it heartily, and looked satisfied.

After chewing for a moment, Lin Li let out a satisfied sigh: "Brother, the main appeal of this dish is its satisfaction. Taking a big bite like this is truly enjoyable."

"Is there such a difference?" Wu Lifeng asked curiously.

"Of course it does. When you take a big bite, dopamine is released in large quantities, and your mouth is subjected to an excessive amount of taste stimulation in a unit of time. The nerve excitation threshold is exceeded, and there will be an explosive pleasure. It's a pity that you can't eat like this often. Only the first time will be especially enjoyable."

Lin Li gave a serious explanation.

"Really Oo?" Wu Lifeng asked with some anticipation. "Then I really have to give it a try."

Using chopsticks, Wu Lifeng imitated Lin Ligang's actions, picked up a large mouthful of food, stuffed it into his mouth, and began to chew.

But what he didn't expect was that the next second—

Lin Li and Qin Xuan quickly picked up their wine glasses filled with drinks, looked at the elders at the table, and laughed heartily:

"We, the younger generation, would like to raise a toast to our elders!"

Qin Xuan: "That's right!"

"Come on, Miaomiao, Brother Feng (Ah Feng), let's stand up!"

At this moment, Wu Lifeng, whose cheeks were bulging more than a cow grazing, hadn't chewed or swallowed anything yet: "(；☉○☉)?"
