Chapter 1063 - 479: I Ran to Meet You, I Walked to Say Goodbye (Part 2)

After a brief discussion, they decided it was time to retreat.The journey back took three times longer than the trip there, but luckily nothing unexpected happened.

The five of them finished their "short trek", got into the car, and after letting out a pleasant sigh, they all continued fiddling with their phones, letting their families know they were on their way back to assure them, and responding to group chats or private messages of well-wishes.

Why do people always send those mass messages like "Happy New Year, want a little red envelope"? What internet beggars.

A little red envelope, huh? Wanna get your head full of bumps instead?

It was actually an old elementary school classmate of mine, which I barely remember, might as well delete them.

After all, even if there were some elementary school reunion, I wouldn’t attend, no need to maintain this facade of dignity.

After quickly skimming through the messages, Lin Li put his phone on the holder and started the car: "I’ll drop off everyone in the order of Dingzi, Ying Bao, Jiujiu, and Bufan."

"Okay."

No one had any objections.

"If there’s another time where we play around like tonight with no preparations, are you all still up for it?"

Slightly opening the window to let in the cold breeze of the winter night, Lin Li whistled and asked.

Bai Bufan: "If there’s a battle, I’ll respond to the call."

Qu Wanqiu: "If there’s nothing going on, I’ll definitely come out, and if there is, I’ll try to make it nothing."

Ding Sihan: "We were playing awkwardly tonight? How did I not notice? Wasn’t it pretty fun?"

Chen Yu Ying didn’t reply, but merely smiled and exchanged a glance with Lin Li through the rearview mirror, everything understood without words.

Even though he knew in his heart, Lin Li still felt delighted to hear this affirmation from them directly, exhaling a long breath and chuckling:

"When I came to pick you up, I was driving at 50 km/h, 50 km/h is not my limit, it’s the speed limit of the road, and now when sending you back, I can only drive at 25 km/h."

"Tsk tsk tsk," Ding Sihan teased with a face, "Lin Li, stop with this sentimental stuff, sounds kinda gross, not used to it, please go back to your original cheeky self."

Lin Li looked at Ding Sihan with confusion:

"Who’s being sentimental with you?

What I meant was that you all are too heavy, now the car can’t even go 50 km/h, 25 km/h is the max, especially you, Ding Sihan, after picking up Jiujiu I could still do 45 km/h, but after picking you up, I could only manage 26 km/h, you better take care of yourself from now on."

Ding Sihan: "(゜▽゜)?"

Ding Sihan wanted to take back what she just said.

Maybe reverting back to his cheeky self isn’t such a good thing...

Once he’s back, it’s even more disgusting than being sentimental!!

"Ahhhhh Lin Li, go to hell——"

...

The car arrived downstairs at Chen Yu Ying’s building.

Lin Li turned back: "You can return the lip gloss now, baby."

Chen Yu Ying took the lip gloss from her small bag and handed it to Lin Li, but upon meeting his eyes, it was clear she realized he wanted more than just that.

Chen Yu Ying gave a gentle glare—"I’ve already returned it, don’t push it."

Lin Li shook his head slightly—"That doesn’t count."

"I don’t care"—Chen Yu Ying gave a slight snort, then placed the lip gloss directly in the car’s front storage compartment, and then opened the door to leave.

Sigh.

The door wouldn’t open.

Chen Yu Ying: "..."

The car door lock wasn’t disengaged.

When Chen Yu Ying turned back, she naturally met Lin Li’s smug and unabashed grin.

"Open the door..." Chen Yu Ying deliberately didn’t look at him and spoke softly.

Lin Li pressed the car’s control screen.

"I bid you farewell with a kiss~ on a deserted street~ letting the wind laugh at me, yet I can’t refuse~"

This is the advantage of being the driver, you can force your passengers to listen to whatever song you want.

Jacky Cheung’s voice immediately resonated throughout the car, which was a clear hint, so the remaining passengers, Qu Wanqiu and Bai Bufan, were drawn to the scene as well.

But before they could say anything, Lin Li called out: "Jiujiu, close your eyes! Bufan, you’re dead!"

Qu Wanqiu, Bai Bufan: "Roger that!"

They cooperatively complied, with Bufan pulling his head back, and Qu Wanqiu in the backseat hid her face with her hands and turned to curl up in the corner of her car door.

"Hmm hmm?" Lin Li leaned in a little closer.

Chen Yu Ying bit her lower lip, helpless and unable to resist, leaned over.

Actually aiming for the cheek, but the target had its own consciousness, adjusting its position deliberately, so it still hit the bullseye.

Whatever.

Lin Li: "Beep beep! Beep beep! Beep beep!"

But seeing Lin Li suddenly mimicking the alarm sound of his watch, and Qu Wanqiu next to him starting to giggle, Chen Yu Ying was filled with overwhelming embarrassment, initially intending to give another kiss, but instead opted to sandwich Lin Li’s cheeks with her hands to shut him up.

Lin Li didn’t trouble her anymore, unlocking the car door, waving goodbye until tomorrow.

——Although evening self-study was indeed canceled, today was already the 1st, so they indeed would meet again tomorrow.

...

"OK, we’ve reached your place too." Stopping the car, Lin Li turned his head to the last remaining passenger, Bai Bufan.

"Mm." Bai Bufan nodded.

After a few seconds, seeing Lin Li still not moving, Bai Bufan furrowed his brows, shifting his gaze over: "Get out and help me open the door, Xiaolin, you call yourself a driver, haven’t you been trained?"

Lin Li chuckled, locked the car door, then lifted his shirt and started to undo his belt, speaking slowly and smoothly:

"Bufan, did you know, before when Wang Ze was sick, he asked me to apply some ointment for him, but that day, the ointment got wet, and when I was about to apply it, he kept saying it was damp and couldn’t be used anymore."

"I still have that ointment, want to give it a try?"
