Chapter 1238 - 547: When You’re Doing Something Bad, No Amount of Hardship or Exhaustion Can Stop You

Chapter 1238: Chapter 547: When You’re Doing Something Bad, No Amount of Hardship or Exhaustion Can Stop You

Before people die, they see their life flash before their eyes.

Bai Bufan is not dead yet, but he’s already seeing it.

Reflecting on the scene from half an hour ago when Lin Li showed him the view of the trunk, he suddenly realized something.

——Aside from the fireworks, in the corner of the trunk, there was a rag normally used for wiping cars.

Damn.

This must be what Lin Li actually wanted to show him just now.

Realizing this truth, Bai Bufan realized another truth: the only beneficiary of Lin Li being alive is Voyager 1, because it’s escaping Earth at 17.043 kilometers per second.

Actually, Bai Bufan really wanted to use the C language on Lin Li, but since Lin Li’s manufacturer was also in the living room, out of politeness, it was naturally impossible. He could only endure it, gritting his teeth while looking at Lin Li.

Alas, even a dog will bite when cornered, let alone me when desperate.

Auntie, I sacrificed a lot for you...

"Pfft——" Wu Min burst out laughing.

Bai Bufan: "..."

Wu Min was indeed laughing; she had clearly heard Bai Bufan’s not-so-low voice just now.

Seeing Bai Bufan looking at her with slight grievance, Wu Min waved her hand: "Bufan, my last name is Wu, not Lin."

Bai Bufan: "!"

Wow, quick separation.

Just like my own mom!

"Put down the sleeve covers and gloves, Bufan. Did you have breakfast since you got up so early? Let me make you something to eat. No need to work, just consider Lin Li was just talking nonsense. You can go play with the computer and phone in his room later.

Since you’re here, why not have lunch at Auntie’s house? Then this afternoon, I’ll let Lin Li take you back."

Wu Min might not be very personable in front of Lin Li, but she still showed the enthusiasm that a normal parent would have towards someone else’s child.

"No, no, Auntie, I’ve already eaten, no need to cook, thank you, Auntie. But I’ll definitely help with the chores later, it’s okay, Lin Li and I are very good friends." Bai Bufan immediately responded.

The lie about breakfast naturally came after not having eaten.

The reason for saying he had eaten was, firstly, just waking up and not having much appetite; secondly, having someone make a breakfast just for him, if it were Lin Li, Bai Bufan would absolutely boss him around, but with Wu Min, forget it.

No need to think, once it’s cooked, the portion would surely be excessively large.

"Exactly, exactly, I’m life-and-death friends with Bufan, having saved him from fire and water multiple times, it’s very great."

Lin Li also nodded in agreement, not exposing the breakfast lie.

If Bufan really got hungry later, he can just have some snacks.

"Then what kind of fire and water predicament did Bufan get into?"

Wu Min looked at her own child, her enthusiasm instantly vanished, sneering as she spoke.

"Don’t worry about it," Lin Li said mysteriously, shaking his finger, then patting Bai Bufan’s shoulder,

"Bufan, just do as my mom said, after we finish in the morning, have a ’reunion dinner’ at my place at noon, I’ll take you home in the afternoon, and then in the evening we can crash your place for a reunion dinner, and after eating, we can go out with the three of them for a play.

Don’t worry, lunch is very sumptuous, we’ve even ordered a king crab, you wouldn’t believe the premium, it’d be a shame not to eat it."

’Reunion dinner,’ although by definition must be the dinner meal, in reality, many people consider it as lunch; after all, if it’s based on family units, they can’t just eat something casually at noon and then deliberately cook in the afternoon.

And since Lin Li’s family is just him and Wu Min, cooking something sumptuous for themselves is impossible to finish and quite a hassle, so in previous years, they either ordered premium takeaway or went to his grandparents’.

"Finally speaking like a human," Wu Min nodded in agreement, then warmly inviting Bai Bufan: "Exactly, Bufan, you should have lunch at our house. Just dropping you off after is too rushed and impolite, we should at least share a meal.

Later if Lin Li goes to your house for dinner, then that would really be bothering you, so there’s no need to be polite at all."

As for caring about Lin Li not having dinner at home, Wu Min didn’t really care.

Once Lin Li went out to play, Wu Min wouldn’t stay home alone either; she’d turn on all the lights for a sense of ceremony before heading off to play cards, mahjong, and chat with her siblings.

"Alright, I’ll trouble you then, Auntie."

Bai Bufan wasn’t pretentious either, after briefly hesitating, during which Lin Li elbowed him twenty-seven times, he willingly nodded.

"Go change into some old clothes first." Lin Li suggested.

Following Lin Li into his room.

"Lin Li, you’re a real beast, you know that." Business is business, even though he had accepted his predicament, once they were in the room and he confirmed Wu Min couldn’t hear, Bai Bufan wasn’t polite in voicing his thoughts,

"I feel like you’re the kind of person who, upon meeting a beggar in winter, would slap a hot drink into their bowl saying it’s cold, warm up. You’re also the kind who’d give a blind person crossing the street a slap on the hand, tell them it’s hand cream, and then guide them to the middle of the road and say they’ve reached their destination."

"Not that kind," Lin Li proudly waved his hand, "Actually, I’m the type who, during summer school, would order cow dung and cockroach eggs online, have them delivered to the parcel locker, but with the collection name and phone filled in with classmate’s details, then never collect them. Watching as the cow dung rots and the egg cases hatch, and the furious locker owner tries to contact the recipient who, because they’re at school, can’t get the message, and when finally reached during the weekend, the classmate gets scolded, totally bewildered about what happened, and I laugh so hard at the absurdity of it all."
