Protagonist:
Lu Feng
"Mm, just picked up the car yesterday. Come downstairs, I'm at the elevator entrance of Building 14, Unit 2."
Lu Feng rolled down the car window, looked at the sign not far away, and said.
"Damn! Wait for me! I'm coming down right now!"
The sound of a door opening came from the other end of the phone, and Li Jiang hung up after speaking. Not long after, Li Jiang's shout rang out in the maze-like garage: "Fengzi! Where are you?"
"Here!"
Lu Feng pulled open the car door and shouted loudly toward the direction of the voice.
Li Jiang ran toward Lu Feng following the sound, wearing slippers on his feet; it seemed that upon hearing Lu Feng had bought a car, he had run down without even changing his shoes.
When he was still seven or eight meters away from Lu Feng, Li Jiang's eyes fell on the black Maybach beside Lu Feng, and his mouth immediately gaped wide.
"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!"
Before Li Jiang even reached him, his eyes stared fixedly at the emblem standing on the front of the Maybach, and he uttered three "fucks" first.
He hurriedly ran forward a few steps, gently stroking the black body of the Maybach with both hands, his voice becoming somewhat hoarse: "Fengzi, is this... a Maybach?"
"Mm, just picked it up yesterday."
Lu Feng leaned against the car door, smiled, and said.
"Fuck!"
Li Jiang suddenly turned his head, his neck making a sound, and Lu Feng really worried he might twist his neck off.
Li Jiang's eyes widened, looking at Lu Feng with a surprised expression and asked: "Fengzi, tell me the truth, did you win the lottery? This car must be three or four million, right?"
"Weren't you riding my Xiao Dian Lu just a while ago? Only a few days have passed, and you've already switched to a Maybach?"
Li Jiang walked around the car, suddenly thought of something, walked to Lu Feng's side and pressed his shoulder, lowering his voice with a serious expression and asked: "Fengzi, tell me the truth, were you kept by some rich older woman? When you go back, hurry and ask me if she has any single sisters, introduce one to me..."
"Get lost! This car was earned from my shop."
Lu Feng lifted his leg and kicked him, saying in an annoyed tone.
He didn't tell the whole truth, but this car was a system reward from doing missions at his shop, so it counted as half true, half false.
"Is your little Xiao Can Guan that profitable? You can even afford such an expensive car?"
Li Jiang covered his butt and jumped to the side, his attention once again returning to the Maybach, touching the emblem and clicking his tongue nonstop.
"Alright, stop looking. I'll take you for a drive when I have time later; let's go upstairs first."
Lu Feng walked to Li Jiang's side, smiling and patting his shoulder as he said.
"Wait a moment! Let me take a few photos; I'll post them on Moments later to show off!"
Li Jiang said as he took out his mobile phone, snapping away at the Maybach with a series of clicks, photographing the front then the side, the emblem then the wheels.
Finally, he had Lu Feng open the car door, and he sat in the driver's cabin, gritting his teeth and taking several close-ups.
"Alright, stop taking photos."
Seeing Li Jiang sitting in the driver's cabin taking photos endlessly, with no sign of stopping for a long time, Lu Feng smiled and knocked on the car window: "What did you call me here for today?"
"Oh right, I almost forgot the real business!"
Li Jiang then came to his senses, hurriedly climbed out of the car, the surprise on his face slowly fading, replaced by a mysterious smile: "Don't rush, don't rush, you'll know once we go upstairs!"
He pulled Lu Feng's arm and walked forward a few steps, then looked back at the Maybach behind him, approaching with a playful smile: "Brother, can you lend me your Maybach to drive for two days when you have time?"
"Don't you have a car yourself?"
Lu Feng smiled helplessly and asked.
"How can my broken Volkswagen compare to your Maybach?"
Li Jiang's hand suddenly slapped Lu Feng's shoulder with considerable force, shaking Lu Feng so he staggered and almost fell: "When I drive my car out, no one even bothers to look, but if I drive your Maybach, not only would people look, even a dog would take several extra glances! Let me feel what it's like to drive a luxury car!"
"Fine, fine, fine, you win. Stay away from me, your spit is all over my face!"
Lu Feng helplessly agreed and shoved Li Jiang away with one hand.
"Fengzi, you really are my good brother!"
Li Jiang's face turned red with excitement, almost wanting to pounce on Lu Feng and kiss him: "I'll take it out for a spin later, and when I bring it back, I'll fill up your tank!"
The two chatted and laughed as they got into the elevator, soon arriving at Li Jiang's door.
As the door opened just a crack, a black-and-white shadow immediately darted out from inside, pouncing toward Lu Feng at high speed.
Lu Feng was quick-eyed and quick-handed, catching Da Mao in his arms.
Da Mao whined pitifully while desperately pressing his huge head into Lu Feng's embrace, looking as if he had been frightened by something.
Lu Feng carried Da Mao into the house, turned to look at Li Jiang who was closing the door, and asked: "What's wrong with your Da Mao? Did you hit him again?"
"Heaven and earth as my witness, I haven't laid a hand on him in ages. Who knows what's wrong with this dog. I already walked him this morning, and as soon as he came back he was scratching at the door. I don't know if he's in heat."
Li Jiang closed the door, scolded Da Mao a few times, and pulled Da Mao off Lu Feng.
"Where are Uncle and Auntie?"
Lu Feng brushed the dog hair off his body, scanned the room, didn't see Li Jiang's parents, and asked casually.
"They signed up for a tour group and left this morning; they'll be back tomorrow night."
Li Jiang held Da Mao's collar and pulled him toward the balcony while speaking.
Lu Feng nodded and sat down on the living room sofa.
He suddenly noticed a strange smell in Li Jiang's home, couldn't help but frown, and sniffed the air: "What's that smell at home? What did you burn?"
"Wait for me!"
Li Jiang closed the balcony door, made a "wait a moment" gesture toward Lu Feng with a mysterious air, then dove into the kitchen.
As soon as the kitchen door opened, a strong burnt smell drifted out from inside.
Li Jiang carried a plate out of the kitchen, set it down solemnly before Lu Feng, and wore a smug smile: "Come, Master Chef Lu, help your brother taste it and see how the flavor is!"
Lu Feng's gaze fixed on that plate of Tomato Scrambled Eggs, his eyes slowly turning somewhat unbelieving.
"This is... made by you?"
Lu Feng pointed at the plate, looking at Li Jiang in surprise as he asked.
"Yes! How is it, surprising, unexpected?"
Li Jiang puffed out his chest, his voice becoming smug.
Lu Feng was stunned for a good while before slowly nodding.
On the way here, he had guessed countless possibilities in his mind.
But Li Jiang cooking was absolutely something he could never have imagined no matter what.
From the time he met Li Jiang until now, he had never seen Li Jiang cook.
Let alone stir-frying, he hadn't even boiled instant noodles.
A person who never cooked actually personally stir-fried a plate of Tomato Scrambled Eggs today?
Did he wake up too aggressively today?
Or did the sun rise from the west?
"Don't just stand there!" Seeing Lu Feng still not speaking, Li Jiang couldn't help but urge him: "Hurry up and taste the flavor, give me an evaluation!"
