Old Liu, I just got slapped in the face with a hundred yuan! For a moment, the security guard turned to another person and complained.
With a swift motion, he took the hundred yuan and said with a smile, "If you don't take this hundred yuan, then it's not your face that got slapped."
Just wait, I’ll take this hundred yuan and slap Manager Zhang in the face. I've already told Captain Sun about this mess twice, and he couldn't resolve it. This time, I’m making Manager Zhang handle it personally!
As I entered the community carrying my things, I had barely taken two steps when a car stopped in front of Shi Tian.
"Xiao Tian, what are you doing here?" As the door opened, Pingtou Ge stepped out. If you didn’t look at his face, he wasn’t too hard on the eyes.
"It's the New Year; I came to see Uncle Li. Are you here to pick me up?"
Since Pingtou Ge was here, it made things easier. I stuffed my things into the car and hopped into the passenger seat to avoid wandering around aimlessly.
Shi Tian got in the car, and Pingtou Ge chuckled as he followed suit.
"Brother, Happy New Year! Cash or QR code? We can't ask for a red envelope in front of Li Yunfei and Hu Shuyi later, so let’s settle this business first!"
I rolled my eyes at Shi Tian. Considering the pile of gifts in the trunk, Pingtou Ge pulled out his phone and sent over a large red envelope before stepping on the gas and speeding out of the community.
"Brother, where are we going? Don’t you live in this community?" Looking back at the community behind him, Shi Tian was a bit dumbfounded. Li Ziyu wouldn't have given him the wrong address!
"Come on, accompany me to a blind date. After that, we can find a place to have a drink!" With that said, he locked the car door casually.
"No way! Why are you bringing me along for your blind date? I'm supposed to visit Uncle Li for New Year!"
Upon hearing that Pingtou Ge was taking him on a blind date, Shi Tian panicked!
No wonder Pingtou Ge came out so quickly; it turned out he had already left home earlier! He wasn't sent by Li Yunfei to pick him up after all!
"I'll help you deliver your New Year greetings while you’re at it. That rod case in the trunk must have your hand rod inside, right? Custom-made? Let’s find a place to try it out later!"
"What kind of relationship do you have with Old Li? You only went fishing once! Is that little connection worth you running all the way to Beijing for New Year? You must have ulterior motives! Otherwise, who is that bouquet of roses in the back seat for?"
"You can't touch that rod; it's for Uncle Li!" Hearing Pingtou Ge's intentions regarding the rod, Shi Tian quickly reminded him.
"What about me? Didn't you say you were going to give me a set?" Upon realizing that rod wasn't meant for him, Pingtou Ge pressed down harder on the gas.
"You're in Sanya! Didn't you say you'd call me when you got ashore? Why did you come to Beijing without saying anything?"
"I wanted to call you! But as soon as I got ashore, I was taken away. How could I call you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the car stopped. He pulled out the keys and got out. Opening the back door, he handed Shi Tian the bouquet of roses prepared for Li Ziyu—this bouquet was now his!
Waiting in the car, I borrowed this rose. I’ll be back in no more than twenty minutes!
Seeing Pingtou Ge preparing roses for Li Ziyu, Shi Tian quickly intervened, “Brother, bringing red roses on a blind date isn’t appropriate! It’s our first meeting; it feels a bit off! To support you, I’ll pay for the flowers. Let’s find a flower shop and buy another bouquet!”
Not appropriate to bring red roses? What does he care about appropriateness! He might as well throw this bouquet away!
What’s the point of bringing a bunch of red roses to his house during the New Year? You think I don’t know what you’re up to?
It’s perfectly fine; there’s nothing inappropriate about it! Just stay put in the car, and I’ll be out shortly! With that, he closed the car door and headed towards the coffee shop across the street.
Watching Pingtou Ge's retreating figure, Shi Tian rubbed his nose. You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?
Bending down, he opened the trunk and called for a ride-hailing service. When the car arrived, he grabbed the Rod and hopped into the vehicle. Goodbye!
“Driver, take me to the nearest flower shop!” You think I won’t buy flowers again just because you snatched mine? I’ll buy two bouquets this time!
After buying the flowers, he headed back to Li Ziyu’s neighborhood. On the way, Li Ziyu called looking for him.
“Tian Ge, didn’t you enter the neighborhood? Why haven’t I seen you?” Shi Tian had just reached the entrance when Li Ziyu rushed out to greet him.
He had been waiting at home but hadn’t spotted Shi Tian at all after circling around the neighborhood. Better call to check!
“Just a moment, I’m almost there! I’m at the entrance now!” Luckily, Pingtou Ge hadn’t taken him too far; otherwise, it would have been troublesome!
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned a corner and saw the familiar security guard. Thankfully, with Li Ziyu at the entrance, there was no need for registration!
After getting out of the car, he received a big hug along with a bouquet of roses. Holding onto the Rod Case and another bouquet of flowers, they walked hand in hand into the neighborhood amidst envious glances, heading straight for Old Li's Family.
