I was in my final year of high school, and my deskmate found out I was writing a novel!

I wanted to charge the car, but my uncle wouldn't let me; he insisted on keeping it running.

"Ye Feng, just tell me where it is and I'll go myself. You guys go watch the movie. Just call me when you're done."

"So how are you going to drive both cars back then?"

"Are you stupid? Why don't you just take Ye Feng over there later!"

Ye Feng didn't really want to go to the movies; he wanted to save it for Su Miaomiao.

"Uncle, let me go with you. Maybe we can get a discount. Brother, you can take your wife and the others to the movies."

"Okay, I should have known better than to wait for Dad, otherwise we'd be sitting in the movie theater by now."

My cousin took the three of them to the movie theater in one car, while Ye Feng and his uncle headed towards the place that sells electric bikes.

"Uncle, you won't be closed on the first day of the Lunar New Year, will you?"

"Probably not. Things are different now. Lots of people go out on the first day of the Lunar New Year. It would be such a waste to close the doors!"

They arrived at the car dealership where Ye Feng had bought his car before. It was indeed open, but there was only one person on duty, sitting there playing on his phone.

Ye Feng was initially worried about encountering an unfamiliar person, but it turned out to be the same salesperson who had sold him the car before.

Upon seeing someone enter, the salesperson quickly put down their phone and rushed over to greet them.

"Happy New Year, you two."

The person walked straight over, and when he saw Ye Feng, he was suspicious for a moment. Then he saw the Porsche Calami parked in front of the store and immediately remembered him, and started to exchange pleasantries.

"How's the driving?"

"That's great. My uncle also wants to come and see."

He thought it was someone coming for after-sales service, but it turned out to be a referral. These kinds of customers have a strong desire to buy because they have already considered the price and other factors and have really liked the product; otherwise, they wouldn't have come during the Chinese New Year.

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll close the door and then I'll take you there."

They simply locked the door, not worried about guests coming over.

Actually, he didn't want to stay here either. Who would come to an electric vehicle store on the first day of the Lunar New Year?

However, the amount given was indeed a bit too much. He figured he didn't want to go home for the New Year anyway, and since he was staying indoors anyway, he decided to come.

After locking the shop door, I walked directly to the warehouse at the back. Seeing the rows of old-man electric vehicles, my uncle went to check them one by one without any introduction.

"New models have arrived! I didn't see this last time."

Walking up to a Rolls-Royce Phantom, Ye Feng touched the emblem. Hmm, it feels incredibly plasticky!

"Actually, we had them before, but they were all sold out. And you know what, this one sells really well."

Ye Feng thought his uncle would choose a Mercedes G-Class, but to his surprise, he chose a Raptor!

"This is it, it can even haul things!"

This vehicle is a pickup truck with a small cargo bed in the back. It's actually quite useless; it can't carry much stuff, and it's expensive. But my uncle likes it, so what can I do?

Moreover, this thing is really just for transportation. As long as you like the design, you don't need to think too much about other things. They're all pretty much the same.

There wasn't much haggling over the price; it was Chinese New Year, and I'm a regular customer, so the salesperson was very sincere.

"Uncle, you don't need this helmet, so you can keep it at home. You never know when you might need it."

There wasn't much that could be delivered; you couldn't just deliver an electric scooter, could you? So, this little hand simply loaded the spare parts that could be delivered onto the vehicle, just like it had given Ye Feng before.

But the uncle insisted on not taking the helmet, saying he had several at home. This surprised the salesperson, who had never encountered anything like this before when it was a free gift. He refused!

"I already have several of these at home, I don't really need them if I take them back."

"Okay, Uncle, I'll go take apart your phone holder and get you a good one, since this one is old."

As he spoke, he picked up his tools and ran into the yard. There was a simple shed there, and some four-wheeled vehicles were parked inside, but they were visibly much older.

These are all used cars, and they come with some accessories when they are acquired.

The phone holder is really nice, it looks quite high-end. It was taken down in no time, and then they helped me install it in the car.

"The old one is fine too, this one is really convenient."

He then placed his phone on it.

Ye Feng doesn't have one in his car. It's just a short drive from school to home, only a few minutes, maybe the length of a song, so he really doesn't need it.

From the time the two arrived at the store and paid, it was only an hour. The uncle was overjoyed to have just received the car.

"I'm going home first. Tell your brother."

"Oh? You're going back now?"

"Yeah, I've got nothing to do here. What do you say, are you coming back with me or waiting for your brother and the others?"

Ye Feng thought for a moment. He would have to go back today and come back tomorrow anyway, so why bother? He decided to stay.

"Uncle, I won't go back. It's too much trouble to travel back and forth."

"What are you eating at home? The restaurants are all closed during the Lunar New Year."

"It's okay! I still have some stock at home. If all else fails, I'll just go to the supermarket and buy some."

Ye Feng really didn't want to keep going back and forth. His uncle thought about it for a moment and didn't insist. Anyway, the New Year was over, and Ye Feng would be starting school in a few days, since he was a senior in high school.

"Alright, you know what you're doing. By the way, did your dad... call you?"

Ye Feng remained silent, and his uncle understood, but he didn't say anything either.

"Alright, just drive home yourself. Be careful on the road."

Little did he know that not long after he got home, Ye Feng's father called. There wasn't much to say, and unlike his mother, he didn't say he wouldn't give him money anymore or complain that he didn't call him. Ye Feng was really annoyed by this.

"Alright, alright, I have something to do, you can continue playing."

I was getting really impatient. He was shopping at the supermarket, and he kept lecturing me on the phone.

"Fine, fine, I won't say anything more. You're getting impatient after just a few words."

I can hear the sound of mahjong tiles clashing over there; they're probably busy too.

He plans to have hot pot today, so he came to the supermarket to buy some.

After hanging up the phone, he sent Su Miaomiao a message.

"Please turn on my computer and log in to my account at six o'clock. It's a bit troublesome for me to log in from a different location."

He was probably playing on his phone, because he replied in less than a minute.

"You really know how to order people around! Making me work on the first day of the Lunar New Year!"

"Oh, I'll treat you to hot pot when we get back. I still need to do some verification and stuff. Let me know when you come over, via video."

This was something Ye Feng came up with on the spur of the moment: to trick Su Miaomiao into going there and give her a surprise!

He bought a lot of side dishes, ordered several drinks, and also bought some fruit. He rushed home with bags and bags of things, and when he got home, he still had to prepare hot pot.
