Chapter 1061 - 478: All Eyes on Me, I Have an Announcement_3

Their eyes met, a fighting spirit igniting between them, with what looked like sparks in the air."Damn, it actually feels electric." Bai Bufan, who really got shocked, shuddered again.

Lin Li: "It’s winter, isn’t static electricity normal?"

"True." Bai Bufan found it reasonable, but he still didn’t want to give up the chicken, or to be precise, the chicken he could snatch from Lin Li’s hands.

Lin Li squinted his eyes: "Bufan, let me test you: Dogs go woof, cats go meow, what do chickens do?"

Bai Bufan also squinted his eyes: "Three hundred for one, six hundred for overnight?"

"What kind of ridiculous chicken? Wrong!" Lin Li sneered disdainfully, then seized the moment when Bai Bufan got distracted, moving as fast as lightning—"Opportunities are for those who are prepared!"

The chicken was clamped into Lin Li’s mouth, fresh out of the pot and scalding hot, so Lin Li had to toss it around in his mouth several times but refused to spit it out.

Meanwhile, he looked down upon Bai Bufan with an angle of superiority.

"My chicken! You jerk—my stomach was ready too!! Spit it out!"

"People like you who aren’t prepared should just stop preparing!"

Watching the two guys across the table bicker and almost resort to a scuffle, the girls were already accustomed, simply shaking their heads lightly with smiles on their faces.

For them, just eating a bit was sufficient, reaching a point of fullness or at least no longer able to continue eating.

They weren’t constantly chatting, after all, it’s not like they hadn’t seen each other in ages, nor was there endless topics to discuss; truthfully, the five of them had only been apart for two or three hours today before meeting again.

Sitting quietly here, playing on their own phones, whenever they found something interesting, they’d share it with the person next to them.

Occasionally, like now, they’d look up to watch the antics when the two across the table were causing a ruckus.

That’s how they planned to wait until twelve o’clock.

From a certain perspective, tonight’s event wasn’t particularly fun, merely having a late-night snack and chatting, a kind of conversation-sharing that could equally happen at home, perhaps even more comfortably in bed.

But was it dull? Not really.

Regret coming out? Absolutely not.

What’s that saying?

Youth is perhaps something both worthless and yet as precious as gold.

The "ordinary" moments now may seem worthless, yet they hold value.

When a good friend suddenly drives to your place and invites you for an impromptu trip, your mind might freeze for a second, but the joy and amusement quickly rush in, that moment already tinged with a golden hue.

Isn’t life about such moments?

Youth is like a gecko; trying to grab its tail is hard, but luckily for these five, they reach out and get the whole gecko.

Lin Li and Bai Bufan, after all, are not like Zhou Baowei, who is like a bottomless pit, gradually feeling full, so their eating pace begins to slow.

Likewise, with no further plans, they joined the girls, playing on their phones, chatting, occasionally checking out the scene at the square, all while waiting for the new year to arrive.

Time flies swiftly past, a fleeting moment slipping by.

As the noise outside grew more distinct, when vendors started promoting their balloons, as the LED screen not far away began its final 60-second countdown, this year was drawing to a close.

Lin Li and the four were already standing at the edge of the rooftop.

His left shoulder brushed against Bai Bufan, his right hand clasped Chen Yu Ying’s hand.

Each holding a balloon courtesy of Miss Chen, they smiled at the thronging crowd and the countdown waiting for no one.

"Five!"

"Four!"

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

"Happy New Year!!!"

Fireworks exploded in the distance, multi-colored balloons rising from every corner of the square, like raindrops flying upward, carrying countless wishes into the night sky.

"Wow—"

On the other side of the rooftop, a second wave of noise erupted, revealing a confession happening.

But the "three men and a dog" were not distracted.

Because just then, Lin Li smiled at them and said, "Everyone, eyes on me."

So Bai Bufan looked right, while Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu looked left.

Lin Li, smiling, extended his free left hand to gently cradle the girl’s upturned face, brushing her chin softly with his thumb.

Then leaned down, pressing his affection onto her lips.
