Chapter 206: Love brothers, love gold? Brothers made of gold!
Time has passed five o'clock.
The sunset is hanging low in the west, revealing itself from the gap between two clouds, dyeing the sky red.
The five people return to the viewing spot and sit down, waiting for the sunset to arrive.
Qu Wanqiu's phone rings at this time, breaking the silence.
She looks down and sees a number marked as a harassment call by many people.
Just about to hang up, the phone is taken away by Lin Li, who signals with a smile: "Let me do it."
It seems he is going to commit a crime.
Lin Li turns on the speakerphone and connects.
"Hello, sorry to bother you. May I ask, do you have a need to buy a house recently? We have a new building project that is being sold recently." It seems to be a real estate salesperson.
"Sure, I happen to be looking for a house recently." Lin Li nods, very interested. 【206-1
"Oh, is that so? Do you happen to have a need to purchase?" The emotion on the other end of the phone became obviously agitated. "Specifically, there is—"
"No, I'm looking for a place to jump."
"……Eh?"
"I'm very sad because my girlfriend discovered she was cheated on by her best friend. She's been crying since this morning. I don't know how to comfort her, so I'm helping her find a building to jump from."
"……Ah?"
"By the way, after this, housing prices should drop. Do you want to short the developer with me? You provide the insider information, I provide the girlfriend, and we'll grow big and strong to create new brilliance!" Lin Li kept his recruitment pitch going without pause.
"Beep—beep—"
The call was hung up.
Everyone started laughing, though Lin Li felt a bit regretful that he hadn't finished his speech.
Bai Bufan suddenly asked with some confusion: "Wait? Girlfriend cheated on? Isn't that you, Lin Li, cheating? You've certainly managed to distance yourself from this quite cleanly!"
Once the girls realized what was happening, they stared at Lin Li with amusement mixed with interrogation.
"Yingbao, if you discovered your boyfriend cheated, what would you do?" Ding Si smiled and turned to ask Chen Yuying.
"……I would turn a blind eye," Chen Yuying said after thinking for a moment.
Then, under the surprised gazes of everyone, she smiled slightly shyly: "Otherwise, the bullet might easily miss its mark."
Lin Li: "?"
He had thought the class monitor was the Japanese-style Yamato Nadeshiko who would only secretly shed tears and swallow her bitterness if she found her husband cheating.
"So it was for the sake of aiming." Lin Li scratched his head, feeling as if 5.56 rounds were growing in his brain; it was so itchy. No, wait, aiming with one eye—it should be a Magnum.
"Class monitor, you've really been corrupted by Bai Bufan, Ding Si, and Qu Wanqiu. Now you can even use these kinds of plot twists," Lin Li said with approval.
Bai Bufan looked disgruntled as he pointed with his left hand at Lin Li, who was on his right.
Lin Li's ability to shift blame was innate, just as girls were born with the ability to love.
"So Lin Li, if you date in the future, will you cheat?" Ding Si asked again.
"I won't, but I can learn."
According to internet records, answering with this sentence best demonstrates emotional intelligence.
He was looked down upon.
He would never be abstract again. Now look, he was really being treated like an idiot.
"Cheating... I estimate I won't cheat in this lifetime. Damn, cheating requires two people to like me at the same time; that condition is too harsh. Where would I find two such blind people?" Lin Li laughed.
The result was that the disdain remained unchanged, and the girls let out a "Tsk."
Bai Bufan widened his eyes, pointed at Lin Li, then pointed at himself: "If finding you makes them blind, then what does finding me make them?"
"Sorry, I'm feeling a bit unwell now. I'll go jump off a building first; you ask them." Lin Li suddenly dry-heaved, walked toward the sea with a pained face, and while walking, 'loudly whispered': "What kind of sin did I commit in my past life? I hope the person is okay."
"FUCK!!! Lin Li, you stand right there! Jumping off a building, is it? I'll let you jump, you'd better jump quickly!" Bai Bufan got up and chased after him.
The two were mutually murdering each other.
Hopscotch is truly a magical thing.
When young, people hopscotch when they are unhappy; when grown up, people hopscotch when someone else is unhappy.
When young, hopscotching makes you grow up; when grown up, hopscotching makes you feel small.
Everything is nothing more than the difference between the X, Y, and Z axes.
Hopscotch, isn't it magical?
Amidst the joyful noise of the crowd, the sun set in the west.
Clouds were layered upon layers, and the sunset spilled through the gaps in the clouds. Golden threads intertwined within, scattering onto the sea surface, shimmering. The waves gently lapped against the reefs, making soft sounds, providing a low accompaniment for the sunset.
Some dishes can be eaten by the phone first, but some scenery is better seen by the human eye first. Rather than recording it on a phone, it is better to store it in the mind.
Everyone was too lazy to take out their phones.
When the sun was completely swallowed by the sea, but the afterglow had not yet fully dissipated, in the distance, a few seabirds that were not seagulls circled at low altitude. Their figures appeared and disappeared in the afterglow, adding a touch of brilliance to this tranquil scene.
The sea breeze blew gently, carrying the unique scent of the ocean, brushing against faces tenderly, making one feel incomparably comfortable.
It wasn't until the streetlights behind them were lit that everyone recovered from this comfort.
"Should we find another chance to watch the sunrise? Around Shanting, there seems to be a mountain that is great for watching the sunrise," Chen Yuying suggested.
"I have no problem with that," Lin Li said with an indifferent tone.
If the purpose of hiking is just to reach the summit, it wouldn't be very interesting. But if the hiking partners are a know-it-all who understands wild plants and creatures, a dog that is easily distracted and has its attention caught by surroundings, and a girl with a nice butt and legs who is willing to walk faster than you...
Lin Li felt he could climb a hundred mountains, a! hundred! mountains!
With the current configuration, rounding up, it was completely satisfied.
However, the other three blinked, maintained silence for about a second, and then nodded: "Sure."
Seeing this scene, Chen Yuying didn't know why she felt it was somewhat funny.
"I was just saying it casually; I can't get up early either."
Chen Yuying could guarantee that if she insisted, everyone would probably still go.
But never mind, let them sleep peacefully.
Chen Yuying's mood was not affected at all; in fact, she seemed to become even happier.
"Find a place to have dinner?" Lin Li got up, stretched, and asked.
"Sure, we already found the shop just now. It's this one; the location was already sent to the group just now, you guys take a look," Ding Si also got up and brushed off the dust.

"Gogogo!"
The girls went to a suitable spot to hail a taxi, while Lin Li and Bai Bufan rode an electric scooter.
"Accelerate, accelerate, accelerate!" After getting on, Bai Bufan urged.
"Received, received, received!"
However, after driving for only half a minute, the electric scooter slowly came to a stop.
"What's wrong?" Bai Bufan patted Lin Li's shoulder and asked with dissatisfaction.
Lin Li turned his head, revealing a calm smile like a sage.
Bai Bufan: "?"
No power!
"We sped too much this afternoon, and the faster an electric scooter goes, the faster it consumes power. It ran out of juice," Lin Li said.
Most electric scooter battery displays show the 'battery level' at the current speed. For example, when driving at ten kilometers per hour, it might still show four full bars, but if you increase the speed slightly, it quickly drops to one bar; it's very deceptive.
Plus, Lin Li wasn't familiar with this scooter and didn't notice the battery was already exhausted.
Now, even at a stop, it only had one fake bar of power.
Bai Bufan: "……"
"I still have some power left in my power bank, about 1000 mAh. Is that enough?" Bai Bufan took out his power bank, looking like he was willing to sacrifice himself for the greater good.
Lin Li: "?"
"Bufan, how long have you had these symptoms? Are your parents really not considering having another one? Otherwise, your eunuch lineage will be broken," Lin Li looked at Bai Bufan with worry and said with concern.
"You fucker." Bai Bufan cursed with a laugh, then jumped off the scooter, held the back of his head, and asked: "So what do we do now?"
"I'll search for the nearest place to swap batteries... one kilometer as the crow flies, two kilometers by route. Let's push it there," Lin Li said after looking at his phone for a while, shrugging.
This type of scooter supports swapping batteries directly at a station, and the rental shop wouldn't mind.
As for testing the "Energy Crystal" here, it was too wasteful; Lin Li didn't consider it at all.
"Ahhh, the episode I regret most is not getting in the car with the class monitor and the others! Lin Li, you useless thing!"
Bai Bufan walked to the rear of the scooter, grabbed the spoiler with one hand to push it forward, and raised his middle finger at Lin Li with the other, looking disdainful: "Couldn't you have saved some power?"
"If I really let you in the car, you wouldn't be happy either," Lin Li first sneered, then turned back to ask: "If I had driven slowly all afternoon today, let alone running out of power, there would definitely be plenty left. But Bufan, let me ask you one thing: if time could be rewound, knowing that driving fast would run out of power, would you still want to drive like we did this afternoon?"
"Of course, we must drive like that!" Bai Bufan answered without hesitation.
Disdain is disdain, but he had no regrets.
Some memories are more precious than anything.
There is always a breeze in the human world to fill my hundred and eight thousand dreams.
It's just pushing a scooter.
The wind that rushed under the feet of youth is something more precious than gold.
Of course, if someone were truly willing to buy it with gold, Lin Li wouldn't forbid them from coming to his feet to blow wind.
"Wait, Ding! Did you and I just say 'drive'?"
Bai Bufan suddenly realized what word had been said and looked at Lin Li with a smile.
And Lin Li also looked over.
When the corners of their mouths curled up, Bai Bufan:
"Streamer, streamer, your electric scooter is really strong, but it consumes too much power. Do you have any other transportation recommendations that are both simple and powerful?"
"There are, brother, there are. Of course, there is more than one such powerful transportation tool. There are nine in total, all of which are T0.5-level powerful transportation tools in the current version!"
The human-machine dialogue ended, and the two laughed loudly under the streetlights.
"Accelerate, accelerate, accelerate!" Lin Li held the scooter with both hands and began to accelerate, while also pinching his voice to complain: "Boiling Sheep, use some strength, Pleasant Sheep has no strength left!"
"Boiling Sheep received, Beautiful Sheep, hold on!"
Bai Bufan made ape-like sounds, bent over, and pushed the scooter hard.
"Ooh ooh ooh!!"
The wind of youth blew past the two of them.
