Chapter 160 To make a living, you always have to wear a green hat (a symbol of infidelity).
Putting down her phone, Ye Lan scooped the noodles out of the bowl, then poured the reheated leftovers on top, muttering something under her breath.
"The elixir of the soul, poured...on..."
Don't be fooled by the fact that it's just noodles and leftovers; the taste is surprisingly good. One bite, and the smooth noodles burst into your mouth, releasing an explosion of flavor that tantalizes your taste buds.
Ye Lan had been playing intense games all afternoon and was starving.
In just a few bites, more than half of the noodles in the bowl were gone.
After feeling a little full, he picked up his phone, ready to watch short videos to help him eat.
The first video you see when you open Douyin is of Lin Xueyao.
[Officially announced, he and Tiger Shark Ye Lan are now in a romantic relationship.]
Looking at the couple on the screen, Ye Lan shook her head helplessly and sighed. "How old are they? Still doing this?"
Aside from blessings for "999", the comments section was filled with envious comments.
"So playing video games really can lead to marrying a rich woman. If I had known that, I would never have studied. Now I've wasted my talent for gaming, having not done well in school."
"Wake up, bro, you have a knack for gaming."
"Even if you have gaming talent, it's useless. Looks are king. Goblin Clown is a no-go."
"I don't approve of you. Those top-ranked Ma Chao and Jing players online, weighing four or five hundred pounds, still had to be eaten, didn't they?"
"I'd rather not eat the biochemical matrix than even look at it."
........
This is the chatting ability of netizens: they are supposed to be discussing something, but the conversation gets more and more outrageous.
It has nothing to do with the initial viewpoint.
Lin Xueyao's official announcement has put Ye Lan in the eye of the storm.
Countless fans who admired and liked Lin Xueyao flocked to Ye Lan's account to hurl personal attacks.
Ye Lan just smiled at this. After all, no one is perfect. From the moment he decided to become a streamer, he was prepared to be scolded.
Ye Lan glanced at the comments section, and instead of getting angry, she smiled.
"This generation of netizens isn't very good at attacking people. Is this considered insulting?"
Ye Lan always believed that if insults don't break the other person's defenses, then it can be called flirting.
After dinner, Ye Lan picked up the bowls and chopsticks from the table and went straight to the sink. After washing the bowls and chopsticks, she began packing the things she needed to take home.
He's been working for almost half a year now, and he's earned a lot of money, but he doesn't have much to show for it.
Aside from a few clothes, underwear, and socks that accompanied him throughout high school, his most valuable possessions were his cell phone and computer.
He skillfully disassembled the computer and then put all the components into the trunk of the car.
He prepared to drive back.
Ye Lan's hometown is not far from Jiangcheng; it only takes a little over five hours to drive there.
Clearly, there's no need to mail it along this route.
After locking the car doors, Ye Lan smoked a cigarette in the empty parking lot.
If I go back to my hometown this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back before the Chinese New Year.
He pondered whether he should say goodbye to Ning Caicai.
After spending a short month together, he had a pretty good impression of Ning Caicai, but the two of them were somewhat incompatible in terms of personality.
Ye Lan was raised in a free-range manner from a young age, so he has a carefree personality. He is like a free wind, dislikes being restrained, and does whatever he wants.
In contrast, Ning Caicai is like a well-behaved girl. Her family environment from childhood has made her only dare to walk within the rules, no matter how big or small the matter is, and she dares not overstep them at all.
It's like when a boy walks on a checkered path, a voice automatically pops into his head saying, "Don't step on the edge line, or you'll die."
She's too well-behaved, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it's definitely not a good thing either.
In contrast, Ning Caicai's older sister, Zhou Ting, was much bolder.
It's hard to imagine that two children with completely different personalities could be raised in the same family.
The cold wind howled in the parking lot at night, and the dim lighting made people feel a chill. Ye Lan curled up and wrapped her coat even tighter.
"Hey bro, what's wrong with you? This parking lot is so big, with so many empty spaces, and you always park in my spot. Can you hurry up and move your car?"
"I bought this parking space for 10 yuan. You better get out and move your car right now, or don't blame me for calling the police."
Halfway there, Ye Lan suddenly heard a man roar.
Driven by curiosity, Ye Lan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a greasy-haired, pot-bellied man staring angrily at the Porsche in front of him.
"Brother, what made you so angry?" Ye Lan asked.
"Oh, I bought this parking space for my own use, but this Porsche keeps parking in my spot every now and then."
"I paid for this parking space, and he's taking it up. How can I not be angry?"
The man was quite well-mannered; he suppressed his anger while speaking to Ye Lan.
Ye Lan noticed that at least a third of the parking spaces were still empty, and couldn't help but feel curious.
"The parking spaces in this community are never full, so why waste money to buy a parking space?"
The parking fee is only five yuan a night, so spending 100,000 yuan to buy a parking space is really a bit too hasty.
After all, if you park for a year, it will only cost less than 2000 yuan, while the price of a parking space is enough to park for 50 years.
Even elementary school students can figure this out.
The middle-aged man sighed, "It's all because my wife kept insisting on buying it. I couldn't persuade her no matter what I did, and in the end she threatened to divorce me, so I gave in."
Upon hearing this, Ye Lan seemed to have thought of something, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.
"Brother, listen to me, hurry up and go upstairs to go home and check, there might be a surprise."
The middle-aged man didn't react at first, but suddenly he ran towards the fire escape like an arrow, his short legs moving incredibly fast.
He kept muttering "Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit, holy shit..."
Ye Lan, never one to shy away from stirring things up, chimed in from behind, "Brother, maybe you should just give up. If you want to make a living, you have to be a little cuckolded at the same time!"
Seeing that the hallway was silent, Ye Lan hunched her neck to prevent the cold wind from blowing in.
The sparks from the cigarette butt flickered in the dimly lit parking lot, like fireflies.
After the cigarette had completely burned out, Ye Lan stepped into the elevator and pressed the button for her floor.
The elevator slowly went up.
Along the way, Ye Lan heard her brother's angry shouts and the wails of men and women.
"It's exactly what I thought."
Ye Lan shook her head, arrived at her floor, and the elevator stopped.
Pushing open the door and going inside, Ye Lan found that Ning Caicai had already returned.
She was staring blankly at the suitcase in the living room, her eyes somewhat vacant.
Hearing the sound, Ning Caicai turned her head, her eyes already red, as if tears would burst out at any moment.
