A Top-Tier Life Begins with Sarcastic Phrases

Chapter 166 New Year's Day ~ I'm 24 too

There will be an opportunity.

Gu Yun took two bottles of drinks from the refrigerator and placed them in front of them: "These are for you."

"Really? What show?"

The girl with glasses looked excited.

Gu Yun shook his head: "There will be, but it's a secret, I can't say yet."

Another girl with a round face and freckles asked timidly, "So, what kind of variety show are you filming here?"

"no."

Gu Yun smiled and said, "This shop is run by my parents. I'm helping out here. You can invite your friends to try it; the food is really good!"

"real?"

The girl was somewhat incredulous: "You own this shop?!"

Wearing an apron, Gu's mother stood next to Gu Yun and smiled gently: "And now~"

"Her eyes are so similar! Oh my god, she really is an auntie!"

The two female college students were very excited and quickly took pictures of the restaurant's signboard and sent them to their best friends and acquaintances.

Before long, a large group of students arrived at the shop entrance, filling both the inside and outside.

Gu Yun stopped serving the dishes and just sat at the door signing autographs; his hands were almost cramping.

Seeing that more and more people were gathering to watch the commotion, and the shop entrance was blocked, Gu put on a mask and ran out the back door.

"Be careful on the road. Are you going back to your new house or our old one?"

Gu's mother covered for her son, and asked a question before leaving.

Gu Yun had already told his parents about buying the house that morning, and they didn't complain. Instead, they thought the house could be left for Gu Yun and his wife to live in.

"I'm going back to my new home to avoid the storm."

Gu Yun ran very fast, his voice fading into the wind.

"This kid, doesn't he care at all whether his dad lives or dies?"

Old Gu laughed and scolded as he jostled the spatula until it was smoking.

"You should be happy to have so much business, why are you complaining about your son?"

Aunt Gu rolled her eyes at Old Gu, tied on her apron, and continued working.

On the evening of December 31, the shop closed early, and Gu Yun took the elderly couple out for hot pot.

"Actually, we can make it at home. Eating out doesn't really capture the feeling of New Year's Day."

Gu Yun was driving Old Gu's car, and Old Gu was rambling on in the passenger seat. Having been traditional all his life, he always felt that the New Year was only lively when the whole family was at home.

"What do you know?"

Sitting in the back row, Gu's mother scolded, "We've been working hard for days. Our son is just worried about us, that's why he went out to eat. You're so stubborn."

"After we finish our hot pot, we can watch a fireworks display."

Gu Yun said.

He'll be leaving after New Year's Day, and then it'll just be the two of them left at home again.

Glug glug~

The spicy red oil broth was bubbling away, and before Gu Yun could even pick up his chopsticks, his parents had already piled a small mountain of food into his bowl.

"You should eat some too, this meat won't taste good when it's cold."

Gu Yun ate until he was sweating profusely, and his mouth was almost numb. He quickly drank a few sips of milk to relieve the spiciness.

At ten o'clock, the bell rang; it was Meng Ziyi.

"I'm going to the restroom. You guys eat first, and we'll go watch the fireworks around 11 o'clock."

Gu Yun went outside and made a video call.

"Gu Yun, I'm so bored, I miss you~"

Meng Ziyi was wearing a red down jacket and eating hot pot. It was noisy around her, and she was with her family.

"It's only been a few days," Gu Yun joked, "Sister Meng, when did you become like a child?"

"No, that's not it."

Meng Ziyi tilted her head and said that after staying at home for a few days, her mother started subtly urging her to get married, saying that all her aunts and uncles already had children.

"This seems to be a common characteristic of Chinese parents."

Gu Yun laughed and said that his mother was also urging him to get married, but fortunately it was just nagging. The real reason was that she was worried that her son would not be able to live well on his own.

"You're being pressured to get married too~"

When someone else had the same experience, Meng Ziyi suddenly felt much better.

Gu Yun, 24, is being pressured to get married by her family, and her mother is also pressuring her to get married, so she's practically 24 herself.

"You're still so young!"

Meng Ziyi smiled sweetly, blew Gu Yun a kiss through the screen, and whispered, "My mom's calling me to play mahjong, Gu Yun, bye-bye~"

As soon as Gu Yun sat down in his chair after hanging up the phone, his phone rang again.

Gu Yun gave his parents an awkward smile and said, "Um, I'm going to the restroom again."

"Old Gu, I feel like something's wrong with our son."

Watching Gu Yun's figure disappear into the distance, Gu's mother lowered her voice and said.

"There is definitely a problem."

Old Gu wholeheartedly agreed: "How can a young man go to the toilet so frequently? It's making him so weak!"

Snapped!

Mrs. Gu lightly punched Mr. Gu in the chest: "Who asked you that? You're pretending not to know. Was our son going to the toilet?"

"Oh dear, our son might be in love. He's in the honeymoon phase; isn't it normal for him to call every three minutes?"

Old Gu laughed and said, "Don't worry, my son is all grown up, he can handle these things himself."

"I don't think so."

Looking out the glass window at Gu Yun sitting on the stone stool making a video call, Gu's mother slowly shook her head: "His tone and expression are completely different from before. He's clearly not the same person."

Mr. Gu: "Could it be a colleague or the boss?"

Aunt Gu shook her head: "It doesn't seem like it."

A wise child is better than his mother.

Okay, it was Wang Chu who called Gu Yun.

Today is New Year's Day, but poor Chuan Chuan is still busy promoting her drama and can't go home. She's eating takeout alone in a hotel.

She sat by the window, and could see the sea in the distance and the occasional burst of fireworks.

"Wang Chuanchuan~ How did you end up in such a miserable state?"

Gu Yun laughed and said, "It's already 2024, who's spending New Year's Eve alone?"

[Master of Rants+]

"What should I do? Nobody's asking me to go out and play!"

Wang Chu chewed his rice in small bites, his delicate oval face revealing no emotion. He simply ate quietly, occasionally glancing out the window.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't make that face! It makes me look like a bad guy!"

Gu Yun laughed and said, "If your fans saw this, they might think I'm bullying you!"

"Pfft~"

Wang Chu smiled gently, a hint of triumph in her almond-shaped eyes: "Isn't my acting amazing, Teacher Gu?"

"Wow, you've fooled me!"

Gu Yun rolled her eyes at her: "If you were to record a documentary about someone spending New Year's Day alone, you would definitely win a big prize."

"Thank you so much!"

Wang Chu pouted, her red lips smeared with oil. With a deft flick of her tongue, she licked the oil away, leaving her lips as smooth and supple as ever. "My acting is so good, doesn't it make you want to act alongside me?"

"So that's where you were waiting for me~"

Gu Yun raised an eyebrow: "Wang Chuanchuan, you're quite the schemer."

"Of course~" Wang Chu shook her head and stuck out her pink tongue: "I'm an unparalleled enchantress, how could I not be a little cunning~"

"It probably won't work; my schedule is already full for next year."

Gu Yun looked serious. The deal for "Princess Shang" had been finalized, and filming would begin after the New Year. There were also two variety shows, and they were going to Milan.
