Chapter 181 Washing Hands Again
Hearing Ying Chanxi coming in, Li Luo closed the typing page and the editor's chat page with the speed of a man who had been single for decades, and then turned around as if nothing had happened.
"New Year's Eve? We can certainly celebrate it."
Thinking of this, Li Luo stood up and walked outside. After passing Ying Chanxi, he came to the door of Xu Youyu's room.
When Ying Chanxi saw him about to knock on the door, he suddenly looked a little panicked and hurriedly stopped him, saying, "Wait..."
But she was still a beat late.
Li Luo had already knocked on Xu Youyu's door and said, "Senior, would you like to celebrate the New Year together?"
"Hmm?" Xu Youyu pushed open the door, poked his head out and glanced at Li Luo, then asked with a confused look on his face, "Where's Xixi?"
"She's here too."
"But she told me before she took a shower that she was going to sleep right away." Xu Youyu scratched his head, not quite understanding the situation. "I was already lying on the bed ready to sleep."
As soon as the two people finished talking, they turned their heads to look at Ying Chanxi standing beside them.
Ying Chanxi waved his hands in panic and explained quickly: "I, I was a little sleepy before, but I felt refreshed after taking a shower, so I thought it would be more fun to spend the New Year's Eve together."
Li Luo and Xu Youyu didn't think much about it. After nodding in understanding, Xu Youyu came out of the bedroom.
The three of them came to the living room and began to discuss.
"So how are we going to celebrate the New Year?" Li Luo asked, "Do you want me to make something to eat?"
"There's no food at home." Xu Youyu said, "There's not much food in the refrigerator. Why don't we go downstairs and buy some snacks? The supermarket should be open yet."
"We can go buy some fireworks." Ying Chanxi muttered softly.
"Does the supermarket sell fireworks?" Li Luo asked curiously.
"Yes." Ying Chanxi nodded immediately, looking like he understood it very well.
Fireworks don't sell well during normal times, so most supermarkets only stock them during the Spring Festival.
Li Luo was not sure whether there would be any during the New Year's Day.
But since Ying Chanxi said it was available, let’s put it into the plan first.
"Then what?" Li Luo asked, "As for fireworks, we can wait until the early morning to go downstairs to play with them during the New Year's Eve, but it's only ten o'clock now, it's still early for the New Year's Eve."
"Let's play cards." Xu Youyu suggested, "Let's buy two decks of cards, and then we can eat snacks and watch TV while playing Landlord."
Li Luo looked at Ying Chanxi and when he saw that she had no objection, he nodded and confirmed, "Then buy some snacks, fireworks, and poker cards."
"OK, let's go!"
Standing up from the sofa, Li Luo went straight back to the house to get a down jacket, put on a pair of cotton pants, and went downstairs directly.
But when Li Luo came out of the bedroom and saw two guys in pajamas watching TV on the sofa, he immediately fell into deep thought.
"What do you two mean?"
"Junior, it's time to show your charm as a man." Xu Youyu gave him a thumbs up. "It's only two or three degrees outside today. Xixi and I have taken a shower and changed into pajamas. It would be too troublesome to change clothes. Can you bear to let us go out and freeze?"
"Come on." Ying Chanxi encouraged Li Luo, then took out three hundred-dollar bills from his pajama pocket and stuffed them into Li Luo's hand, "Spend them, and the rest can be used as travel expenses and tips."
Li Luo: “…”
With a click of the tongue, Li Luo stuffed the banknotes in his hand into his trouser pocket, turned around and walked to the door to change his shoes.
As soon as I opened the door, I heard Ying Chanxi's voice from behind me again.
"Don't leave in such a hurry." Ying Chanxi trotted behind him, pulled him around, and put the red scarf around his neck, "You won't be cold this way."
"Then I still have to thank you?"
"You're welcome." Ying Chanxi patted his shoulder, "Go ahead, and remember to buy me some potato chips, if you want..."
"Red stew and cucumber, I know."
"And me!" Xu Youyu shouted from the other end of the sofa, "I want that..."
"Original flavor, I know." Li Luo waved his hand and walked out of the house. "I'll call you guys directly later. Just order whatever you want to eat on the spot."
Even if they had not spent any time together in their previous life, the experience of living under the same roof for the past few months was enough for Li Luo to clearly understand their taste preferences in various meals and snacks.
After walking out of the house, Li Luo tightened the scarf around his neck when he was blown by the cold wind from the corridor window.
Fortunately, I had a scarf to block it, otherwise the cold wind in the middle of the night would have been quite biting.
Li Luo took the elevator all the way down to the first floor, walked out of the community, came to the supermarket outside, took out his mobile phone and called Ying Chanxi, and then turned into a shopping specialist.
After buying two large bags of snacks and fireworks, plus two boxes of playing cards, Li Luo paid for it and spent just over a hundred dollars.
In 14, this money was quite sustainable and you could buy so many things with just over a hundred dollars.
Li Luo estimated that if it were kept for ten or twenty years, these two big bags would be worth at least two or three hundred yuan.
Thinking of this, Li Luo walked out of the supermarket carrying the bag, turned around and saw that the fruit shop next door was still open, so he went in and bought some fruit.
When I got home, both my palms were so painful from being squeezed by the plastic bags and were frozen cold.
At this time, the two women on the sofa had already walked to Li Luo.
Xu Youyu took the bag and carried it to the sofa and coffee table.
Ying Chanxi pulled Li Luo all the way to the bathroom.
"What are you going to do?" Li Luo was pulled into the bathroom, confused, and didn't quite understand what she was doing.
But soon, Ying Chanxi took Li Luo's hands and immersed them in the hot water that had been prepared.
"Hush...huh..."
The temperature of the hot water was just right, a little bit hot, but under the touch of Li Luo's cold hands, he soon endured it. Then there was a feeling of comfort, and the whole person trembled subconsciously twice, and the palms that were originally a little cold suddenly warmed up.
When he stretched out his hands, he could still feel the numbness in his hands after the sudden cold and hot sensation.
The next second, Ying Chanxi covered Li Luo's hand with his towel and helped him wipe it clean: "Is this much better?"
"Yeah." Li Luo nodded and walked out of the bathroom with Ying Chanxi.
At this time, Xu Youyu was already happily eating her original potato chips.
Li Luo snatched it directly from her hand, grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Hey hey hey!" Xu Youyu suddenly became anxious, grabbing the dog's arm and pulling it down, "There are so many snacks, why are you fighting with me for them! Let go!"
"I bought you three packs of original flavor. Isn't that enough for you?"
"That won't work either. These chips of mine bring good luck. If you eat them, you'll win the game." Xu Youyu snatched the chips back and held them in his arms. "You've taken away all my good luck."
"What a twisted theory." Li Luo reached out and took out the playing cards he bought. After unpacking them, he shuffled the cards, pulled the coffee table closer to the sofa, and knocked on the tabletop. "Come on, stop wasting time, and start."
"Wait a minute!" Xu Youyu jumped up from the sofa and ran into his bedroom.
After a while, Li Luo and Ying Chanxi heard the sound of a heavy object rubbing and dragging on the floor.
Li Luo stood up and walked to the door of Xu Youyu's bedroom. He was speechless and asked, "Where did you get a whole box of beer?"
“This is my treasure.”
Xu Youyu dragged the beer box all the way to the sofa, took out a can of beer from it, opened it, and then gulped down a big gulp: "Ha~ comfortable~ It turns out that if you want to play cards and eat snacks, you still need to drink some wine."
"Senior sister, drinking is not a good idea, right?" Ying Chanxi said in a low voice.
"What does it matter? We're not in school." Xu Youyu waved his hand and took out two more cans of beer from the box. "Would you two like one?"
Ying Chanxi shook his head subconsciously.
But when she saw that Li Luo, although helpless, still reached out to take it, she immediately stopped shaking her head and hesitated to reach out to take the beer can.
"I'll just try it for a taste."
"Try it. If it doesn't taste good, don't drink it." Li Luo reminded, "Buy drinks over there."
"Oh." Ying Chanxi nodded, and then watched Li Luo open the pull ring of the beer can, tilt his head back and take a sip of the beer. He immediately became suspicious, "Li Luo, have you ever secretly drunk it before?"
"Uh...how could that be...I'm a good student."
"Then why are you so skilled?"
"Okay..." Li Luo sighed, "When I was in junior high school, Zhao Rongjun was curious and asked me to drink with him a few times."
"Why is he like this?" Ying Chanxi frowned, a little dissatisfied, "He even taught you bad things."
"That's not the way to say it." Li Luo was a little embarrassed, and silently said to himself, "A little wine can make you happy, just don't drink it too often. Excessive drinking is definitely not okay, but occasionally having a couple of glasses when the mood strikes is not a big deal."
"That's right." Xu Youyu put his arm around Ying Chanxi's neck and helped her open the beer. "Come on, cheers!"
Ying Chanxi took the beer in a daze, and after clinking glasses with Xu Youyu and Li Luo, he held up the beer can with both hands and took a small sip.
Then she frowned slightly.
"How is it?" Li Luo asked, "If it doesn't taste good, don't drink it."
"It's hard to describe." Ying Chanxi tasted the wine in his mouth, "It just tastes weird."
"It's your first time drinking, so just try a little." Li Luo helped her put the beer on the coffee table, and then started to shuffle the cards, "Come on, let's play cards."
"Let's play cards!" After drinking, Xu Youyu became more energetic. He crossed his legs on the sofa, swayed his body, and then took out a lipstick from his pocket. "I almost forgot this."
"What are you going to do?" Li Luo was about to deal the cards when he saw her take out this thing and immediately asked with a look of vigilance.
"Of course it's a punishment~" Xu Youyu laughed, "How can it be fun without some prizes? The loser will have lipstick painted on his face by others."
"Fuck! Such a big deal?"
"What's that? Deal the cards quickly! Are you scared?"
"What do I have to be afraid of?"
"Where's Xixi?"
"I, I... come if you want. I'm not afraid."
The lipstick was placed in the middle of the coffee table.
After the cards were dealt, Li Luo put his cards in order, then closed his eyes slightly, with a gleam in his eyes.
The corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
thought.
Senior, you've walked into trouble yourself.
Don't blame me for being rude!
Li Luo opened his eyes, his eyes shining brightly.
In my mind——
Memory palace.
Full power start!
