I'm crazy, don't mess with me. I just love to pretend to be crazy, remember that.

In previous years, the three of them would enjoy a happy New Year's Eve dinner together, but this year, with the addition of Si Qian, Pei Tianming was filled with worry.

In just a few days, several strands of my hair have turned white from worry.

At least you'd have some reservations if a poor relative came to your door begging for money.

Si Qian truly believed in getting something for nothing, so she took whatever she saw, and even specifically chose the expensive items.

Pei Tianming still feels bad about the fact that they took his fine wine and his treasured deer antler and ginseng that he had kept for over ten years.

Just when Pei Tianming was at a loss, Butler Zhao, dressed in a tailcoat, made a dazzling appearance.

"Sir! The ingredients we ordered for tonight's family dinner have arrived. Please take a look!"

Butler Zhao bowed and presented the shopping list with both hands.

Pei Tianming glanced at it briefly before returning the list to Steward Zhao.

Butler Zhao: "Sir, is there anything else you need? I'll have someone bring it over now."

Pei Tianming asked, "Do you have instant noodles?"

Um?

A question mark appeared above Butler Zhao's head.

Although he didn't know why the master asked if there were any instant noodles, Butler Zhao still answered truthfully, "No...no."

These things are not allowed in the house, sir? Have you forgotten?

He said it himself.

Pei Tianming closed his eyes, his mind filled with the image of Si Qian reaching out to take something from the house.

He felt a chill and shivered, then turned and gave instructions to Steward Zhao.

"Go buy it now!"

"Yes, sir, I'll have someone go buy it right away. I'll keep an eye on tonight's New Year's Eve dinner..."

Pei Tianming spoke up to stop them: "No need to prepare New Year's Eve dinner tonight, we'll just have instant noodles!"

Butler Zhao was greatly shocked.

They neither understand nor respect it.

However, for an employee, not disobeying their employer is the first rule of professional conduct.

"OK!"

He bowed again.

Pei Tianming: "Prepare the ingredients first, and we'll prepare them tomorrow."

Even for tonight's New Year's Eve dinner, Si Qian will have to eat instant noodles with everyone!

He was scheming these little tricks in his mind.

They completely forgot that the devil is always one step ahead of the saint.

Si Qian was completely unaware of the old scumbag's scheming.

There was a long line at the supermarket checkout, and Si Qian was still waiting to pay.

Feeling bored, she pulled Pei Li aside to chat: "Let's go watch other people set off fireworks tonight."

Pei Li offered, "Shall we go upstairs to my company?"

Si Qian asked in confusion, "Why would I go upstairs to your company?"

Pei Li: "The view of the fireworks is great from the 58th floor."

"..."

The view of fireworks is best from the 58th floor.

That's such a niche term.

Si Qian smiled and teased him, "You've seen it?"

Pei Li pushed the shopping cart and nodded seriously: "I've seen it. While others set off fireworks for the New Year, I was working overtime on the rooftop."

Si Qian couldn't help but burst out laughing and joked with him, "That's enough, I feel sorry for you."

Working overtime during the Chinese New Year.

Just as the two were chatting enthusiastically, Pei Yi, who was carrying various puffed snacks, stood behind them and interrupted.

"Brother, I want to go too."

欻——

The moment he finished speaking, a highly lethal X-ray shot out, as if it were about to pierce him through.

Pei Yi felt like he was being pricked by needles.

I have never felt such a strong killing intent before.

He trembled and weakly said, "Then I won't go..."

The gaze, now focused and tangible, finally left him.

Pei Li then transferred another 100,000 to Pei Yi, telling him to go have fun tonight.

The gloom in Pei Yi's heart vanished instantly.

Pei Yi was overjoyed to receive the money.

I knew his brother treated him the best!

As they spoke, the group had already moved forward a bit.

Just as Pei Li was about to push the shopping cart forward a few steps, someone appeared out of nowhere and cut straight into the middle of the line.

Before Pei Li could speak, Si Qian spoke first.

She patted the person in front of her on the shoulder.

"Dude, you cut in line!"

But the person in front of him pointed at the person in front of him with a self-righteous air.

"This is my friend!"

Si Qianqi laughed: "Having friends means you can cut in line?"

The other person gave him a smug look: "What else?"

Okay, okay, is that how it's going to be done?

Si Qian flicked her sleeves and walked straight in front of the man who had cut in line's friend.

The man's friend immediately became agitated, pointing at her and scolding, "You're cutting in line!"

Si Qian pulled the girl in front of her: "This is my friend!"

The man's friend asked suspiciously, "Your friend? Do you two know each other?"

The girl in front of Si Qian asked her curiously, "Yeah, who are you?"

Si Qian calmly asked the girl, "We're old classmates, which university did you go to?"

Girl: "I never went to university."

Si Qian then asked, "Which high school did you go to?"

Girl: "I never went to high school."

Si Qian asked again, "What about junior high school?"

Girl: "No."

Si Qian: "What about primary school?"

Girl: "XX Elementary School".

Si Qian clapped his hands and enthusiastically put his arm around the girl's shoulder: "Oh, we're from the same elementary school too, old classmate!"

The girl exclaimed in delight, "Wow, what a coincidence!"

Seeing this, the man's friend was not convinced and, imitating Si Qian, went to the woman in front of the girl.

Girl: "No, why are you cutting in line?"

The man pointed at the woman: "This is my old classmate!"

The woman turned to the man and asked, "Who are you?"

The man asked in a low voice, "Which university did you go to?"

Woman: "Women's University".

Man: "What about high school?"

Woman: "Female high school."

Man: "What about junior high?"

Woman: "Women's Middle School".

Man: "Which university did your girlfriend go to?"

Woman: "I don't have a boyfriend."

The man took out his phone: "No girlfriend? Let's exchange contact information and get to know each other!"

The woman nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll look into it!"

The man turned around and gave Si Qian a provocative smile.

Si Qian narrowed her eyes slightly: "You're dating, right?"

She followed the men's example and walked in front of the women, patting the man in the hat on the shoulder.

The guy in front of Si Qian turned around and took off his hat, only then did she realize that he was a foreigner.

Si Qian, who was about to strike up a conversation, swallowed back the words "old classmate".

Si Qian: “can you speak chinese?”

Foreigner: "Sorry, I can't!"

Si Qian: “I can teach you chinese!”

The foreigner exclaimed in surprise, "My teacher!"

Si Qian: "My student!"

Successful family reunion!

Si Qian turned to the woman and said, "My student!"

The customer behind: "?"

What a magnificent and spectacular show!

666, it's so salty it's almost unappetizing!

Pei Yi, dumbfounded: "...?"

Why did my sister-in-law rush ahead?

The consequence of the extreme pulling was that the man who had just cut in line was being yelled at by the people behind him.

Seeing that there were too many people and he couldn't win the argument, the man slunk away.

After adding the deliveryman on WeChat, Si Qian went back to queue up again.

Having witnessed the whole thing, Pei Li sincerely praised, "It has to be you, Mr. Krabs!"

Her social skills are impeccable.

Si Qian simply waved her sleeve calmly and said, "This is called 'Among three people walking together, there must be one who can teach me.'"

After paying at the supermarket, the three of them headed towards the old house.

Si Qian, sitting in the passenger seat, muttered to herself, "I'm going to see Lao Pei again. I'm kind of looking forward to it..."
