The messages that came through were a few voice notes.
Lin Yu pressed the red dot and held it to his ear to listen.
"Wang Biao (Voice Message): Bro, you up yet? Mornin'! Got some good news for ya."
"Wang Biao (Voice Message): That party house of yours, it was all finished up last night. You can go take a look today if you're free."
"Wang Biao (Voice Message): Don't worry about the materials and equipment, there's definitely no smell. If you're really concerned, I can get a formaldehyde removal guy to test it for you."
"Wang Biao (Voice Message): If you have time today, go check it out. I changed the front door to a keypad lock. I'll send you the code in a bit, you can change it to whatever other code you want."
Lin Yu couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in his heart.
After waiting and hoping for so long, the party house was finally here!
With so many people in the apartment now and everyone getting along so well, it was the perfect time for a regular entertainment spot.
Brother Biao was truly reliable, managing to help Lin Yu pull off such a big thing in such a short time.
Lin Yu quickly replied to Brother Biao's messages, expressing his thanks emphatically.
They agreed that when Lin Yu visited Brother Biao's place, he'd bring some alcohol, and the two of them would have a proper drink.
"Xiao Yu, let me water those flowers."
"I've pretty much finished tidying up inside. I'll leave the little bit left to the others."
"I'm free now, I can come and help. You go rest for a bit, or go play if you want."
"Anyway, you shouldn't be busy today. If anyone should be busy, it's us."
Chen Qimeng had noticed earlier that Lin Yu had been doing household chores the whole time.
So,
she finished up her tasks as quickly as possible to free up her hands and help Lin Yu.
Even if Maomao didn't say anything, Chen Qimeng knew the importance of today.
Especially since...
this was the first birthday they were spending together after the change in her relationship with Xiao Yu.
She absolutely had to take care of his mood completely, not letting him feel the slightest bit unhappy.
"Qimeng, you came at just the right time. Let's both stop what we're doing."
"There's a place I want to take you to!"
"We have to go together, it's really urgent."
Lin Yu spoke very seriously, which surprised Chen Qimeng for a moment.
Qimeng?
But they were at home.
Even in the courtyard, someone else could come over at any time.
Wasn't calling her that a bit too risky?
Looking at Xiao Yu's expression, it seemed like there really was something urgent.
But no matter how urgent...
leaving everyone at home and the two of them going out together?
Chen Qimeng tentatively asked:
"Xiao Yu, the place you mentioned... is it far?"
"Everyone's at home. It wouldn't be good if we two were gone for too long."
"If it's not super urgent, could it wait until tomorrow, or find a chance later?"
"Can... can you hold on for now?"
After speaking,
Chen Qimeng blushed and tucked the stray hairs by her ear behind it.
Lin Yu: "???"
Hold on?
Where did Auntie Qimeng's mind go?
And her face is all red now!
Lin Yu found it quite amusing internally. He deliberately leaned in closer and whispered:
"What if I can't hold on? I'm so anxious~ so anxious~"
Chen Qimeng, with her hands behind her back, quickly glanced back towards the door.
Checking if anyone was coming out who might see them.
What to do?
Xiao Yu actually saying such things at a time like this?
But...
it's his birthday today!
He's the star of the day!
How could she outright refuse his request?
Looking back later, there might be a lot of regret.
Chen Qimeng's inner conflict was visible.
She looked at Lin Yu, then at the direction of the gate, back and forth several times, before finally speaking:
"Xiao Yu, can we... go to my room?"
Lin Yu: "!!!"
Hiss!
Auntie Qimeng really spoils him too much!
Even such an unreasonable request, she could go this far for him?
Having a birthday is really awesome!
If he could have a birthday every day, wouldn't he be able to make unreasonable demands every day!
However,
the important thing right now was to take Auntie Qimeng to see the new place.
If they went back to Auntie Qimeng's room, it would take at least an hour or two before they came out again.
Today, Lin Yu was the center of everyone's attention.
If he really disappeared for too long and didn't come out, and was discovered later, it would inevitably seem strange.
And Auntie Qimeng's self-control wasn't that great either.
If some strange sounds leaked out, that would be disastrous?
Tsk tsk tsk.
Discussing this kind of thing somewhere else...
wouldn't that perfectly solve the problem?
Lin Yu pulled on Auntie Qimeng's arm, saying:
"What would we do in the room, Qimeng? I just want you to come with me to check out the house in the back row."
"We don't even need to leave the complex, we'll be back very soon!"
Chen Qimeng: "???"
Lin Yu's words clearly caught her off guard.
Go for a walk to the house in the back row?
Just something that simple?
Then her reaction just now...
Chen Qimeng had no time to worry about her flushed face.
She was already being led by Lin Yu, walking out of the courtyard gate.
The two of them walked together for a while.
Chen Qimeng gradually came back to her senses.
Go to the house in the back row? For a walk?
What's there to see in the back row!
It had always been in an unoccupied state.
Recently, Chen Qimeng had noticed that the row of villa residences behind the greenbelt and the small park was being renovated.
She didn't know who had bought a place in this complex.
She remembered it used to be a party house that young people often went to.
Seems like it went out of business?
Chen Qimeng hadn't paid much attention to it.
Things for young people, she didn't really understand them that well herself.
Was the place Xiao Yu was taking her to that closed-down party house?
Going to see what's happening?
Chen Qimeng really wanted to ask.
But as Lin Yu said, the journey really wasn't far.
Whatever the reason, going for a quick look around was completely fine.
A few minutes later.
The two arrived in front of the gate of the party house Lin Yu had bought.
Apart from being only two stories, the layout with a courtyard plus the building was very similar to Chen Qimeng's house.
"Xiao Yu, I saw this place was still being renovated a few days ago. It's finished already?"
"It used to be a place for young people to gather. Do you want to rent it today to bring everyone here to play?"
"I wonder if it's operational now..."
Chen Qimeng stood at the entrance, confirming this was the place she had in mind.
She could roughly guess Xiao Yu's thoughts.
After all,
there were so many people at the house today.
They couldn't just play board games together again, right?
They should at least change things up a bit, let everyone have a good time.
It was understandable for Lin Yu to think of this.
Unfortunately,
from the outside, it seemed like there was no one inside.
And it was just renovated, so it was highly likely not open for business yet.
Lin Yu said with a smile:
"This place probably won't ever be open for business again, right?"
"Qimeng, let's go in and take a look together."
Chen Qimeng said suspiciously:
"The door is locked, and there's no phone number left outside."
"Xiao Yu, if you really want to look, should I ask the property management?"
Before Chen Qimeng could make a move,
Lin Yu first reached his hand towards the keypad lock...
...
