A Top-Tier Life Begins with Sarcastic Phrases

Chapter 167 Wang Chuanchuan: I'm not that busy.

Gu Yun's schedule is rather tight.

"Oh~"

Wang Chuxing's eyes flickered, but she quickly regained her reassuring smile: "I was just joking. Okay, go eat now. Happy New Year in advance!"

Happy New Year!

Gu Yun hung up the phone and walked back to his seat, chatting with Zhang Ruonan for a few more minutes along the way.

"Ultraman Seven" is also with his family.

"Oh, poor Wang Chuanchuan~"

Gu Yun put away her phone, thinking to herself, "Everyone else has someone with them, but she's eating takeout all by herself."

"Son, who did you talk to on the phone just now?"

"Oh, a friend who has no friends."

Gu Yun snapped out of his reverie and focused on eating. The fireworks display was about to begin, and he wanted to take the elderly couple to watch it.

"Phew~ I'm done eating~"

Wang Chu wiped his lips, put the trash bag at the door, returned to his spot by the window, knelt on the chair, and gazed at the bustling outside.

"It's not as bad as Gu Yun made it out to be~"

Wang Chu whispered, "Eating takeout alone on New Year's Day, watching fireworks, and then going to sleep—that's perfectly normal!"

"I'm happy as long as I can have enough to eat."

yah~

Fireworks soared into the sky, bursting open with a loud pop; their dazzling brilliance was captivating.

"Okay, the fireworks are actually quite pretty."

Wang Chu took a picture with his phone, edited it into a perfect photo, but didn't know who to send it to.

"Bored, time for a nap!"

After taking a shower and changing into his Psyduck pajamas, Wang Chu lay down on the bed and prepared to sleep.

But how can I possibly sleep?

As soon as midnight struck, the sounds of fireworks bursting everywhere were deafening; even with your ears covered by a blanket, it was still too noisy.

"It's a bit boring being alone —"

Wang Chu got out of bed again and sat by the window. On the table in front of him were an ugly little mirror, an eyebrow pencil with smudges, and lipstick.

Poke~

Wang Chu raised her index finger and gently poked her reflection in the mirror, puffing out her cheeks: "Wang Chuanchuan, even without friends, can have a lot of fun by herself~"

Boom boom boom!

Wang Chu's solitary game was interrupted by a knock on the door: "Hello, your takeout. I'm sorry, I ordered it to arrive on time, but there was a bit of traffic on the way, so I'm late."

"Did they deliver to the wrong address? I didn't order takeout."

Wang Chu looked out through the peephole and saw that it was indeed a food delivery worker.

"Are you Ms. Wang Chuanchuan?" the deliveryman asked.

"It's me," Wang Churan nodded, "but I didn't order takeout."

"That's right, this is takeout ordered for you by someone named Blue Planet Grass. His ID number ends in 2385."

That's Gu Yun's phone number.

"It's my takeout, thank you."

Wang Chu brought in the takeout box, which wasn't very heavy. When he opened it, he found only a box about the size of his palm.

When you open it again, you'll find a crystal ball inside. Fireworks are constantly exploding inside the crystal ball, displaying various colors, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.

With the sound of fireworks exploding outside the window, it felt as if the fireworks inside the crystal ball were real.

There was also a card on the side of the box, which Gu Yun had someone write for him.

To Wang Chuanchuan:

You're so stubborn!

You're not suited to be a celebrity; you should be a secret agent.

If you feel lonely on New Year's Day, just say so. Why insist on claiming you're a good actor? I know your acting is terrible! Clumsy Wang Chuanchuan!

The card is too small to write much. Well, I can't watch the fireworks with you, but I can throw you a fireworks festival. Are you satisfied?

Upon reading this, Wang Chu looked at the crystal ball in his hand again, pouting, "What fireworks display? It's just a crystal ball! You braggart!"

I knew you wouldn't believe me. Okay, I really didn't have time to prepare such a big gift for you.

You'll have to make do with this crystal ball.

As compensation, could you do me the honor of being my leading lady in a drama series together in the second half of this year (it should be past midnight now)?

Gu Yun]

"Hmph~ Now you know to invite me to act?"

Wang Chu put the card back in the box, tilted his fair chin up, and said, "I'll reluctantly agree, okay?"

She turned off all the lights in the room and placed the crystal ball in the middle of the table.

In the ugly little mirror, the sparkling fireworks of the crystal ball are reflected, along with a girl resting her head on her arm, intently watching the fireworks.

Suddenly, Wang Chu turned to look in the mirror, raised her index finger, and gently poked her reflection. She puffed out her cheeks and said, "Wang Chuanchuan, you seem to be crying. Who made you like this?"

Wang Chu wiped away the tears that had fallen from the corners of her eyes, then suddenly smiled and said softly, "It's all Gu Yun's fault~~"

"Where's your son?"

"I don't know. He was just here a moment ago, saying he was going to the restroom, and then he disappeared."

At the fireworks display, Gu's mother noticed her son had disappeared again in the blink of an eye and immediately said, "He must have gone to make a phone call again."

"Maybe so~"

Old Gu chuckled and added, "But it might also be to give us some space. It's been so long since we've gone out like this!"

Gu's father's sudden display of affection caught Gu's mother off guard, and she spat at him, "How old are you? Still playing those games."

"Romance never goes out of style!"

Gu's father pulled a rose from behind his back; it was the one Gu Yun had secretly handed to him before leaving: "Wife, Happy New Year~"

"I'm going to die! I'm going to die!"

Tian Xi stuck out her pink tongue. Since she couldn't get Chongqing's super spicy hot pot in Shanghai, she bought super spicy duck neck to satisfy her craving. Her face immediately turned bright red.

"It made you crave that stuff, but there's a difference between 'technologically spicy' and 'extremely spicy' hot pot."

Gu Yun joked.

That's right, he was video chatting with idiot Oda to celebrate the New Year.

She had been clamoring to see the fireworks show since earlier, so Gu Yun had no choice but to leave his parents and fulfill Tian Xiwei's wish.

As she was eating, she suddenly wanted to eat extra spicy hot pot, so she ordered extra spicy duck neck to satisfy her craving. It was so spicy that her nose started running.

"There is definitely a difference."

Xiaotian took a big gulp of milk, her eyes red-rimmed, but she still stubbornly insisted, "It's not as spicy as the super spicy hot pot~"

She said, "The chili peppers from Sichuan and Chongqing, those are the ones that really have the right flavor!"

Gu Yun raised an eyebrow: "Oh, it's not spicy, then have a few more bites."

"————I'm full~"

Tian Xi patted her tummy; her lips were already swollen from the spiciness, but she still vehemently denied it: "It's not spicy at all, otherwise I could eat so much more!"

"Fine, fine, it's your mouth, you get to decide."

Gu Yun doesn't bother arguing with idiots.

"The fireworks are so beautiful!"

Tian Xiwei lay on the bed, hugging the pillow Gu Yun had given her, tilting her head and giggling. Her dark eyes were fixed on the screen, it was hard to tell if she was looking at people or fireworks: "Wonton too~"

Gu Yun rolled her eyes: "Why bring up your cat now?"

Tian Xi smiled, revealing deep dimples: "I missed him, of course~~"
