Chapter 2323 - 740: It’s Me, Su Yu

North City Garden Community.

Room 1204, Building 4.

"Bang bang bang—" An urgent knocking sound echoed.

"Lingling, open the door! We’re here!" Li Shumin’s energetic voice shouted from outside.

"Coming, coming!" Lingling jumped off the couch and ran over to open the door.

Zhang Jiahong and Li Shumin walked in carrying two bags full of snacks, the cold wind mingled with laughter as they entered.

It raised the temperature in the room by a few degrees.

"You guys, you’re already here, why bring anything?"

Lingling politely spoke, but her hands were very honest, accepting the bags and already searching for chips inside.

"Pfft, then don’t eat!" Li Shumin rolled her eyes.

"Hehe, that’s not gonna happen!"

The four of them greeted each other, took off their heavy coats, and sat around on the warm living room carpet.

The atmosphere was pleasant and cheerful.

As they chatted, the topic somehow turned to "cars."

"Lingling the rich lady," Li Shumin peeled an orange and stuffed a segment into her mouth, "You said you wanted to buy a car before, have you chosen one? In the future, when it’s cold, we can hitch a ride for outings or to work, hehe."

Qiuqiu also sat quietly on the side, curiously watching Lingling.

If any of them was doing the best, it was definitely Yao Lingling.

The jacket she designed became a viral hit online, and her quarterly performance bonus alone was astronomical for regular employees like them.

Moreover, as the design director now, her base salary starts at 20,000.

Absolutely a little rich lady.

"I’ve looked at them." Lingling sat cross-legged on the carpet, her eyes full of longing, "I want to buy a Mercedes-Benz C, white, quite elegant, and the price is suitable. But although I have some money now, I still want to save up first, wait for the year-end bonus, and then buy it outright, so it doesn’t hurt so much."

"That’s great," Zhang Jiahong sighed, "Can’t believe Lingling will be driving a big Benz soon, a C-Class no less."

"Lingling is actually most suited for an A-Class, right?" Li Shumin suddenly grinned mischievously and poked her flat chest.

"Get lost! Filthy Minmin!" Yao Lingling’s fur stood up at once, her face turning tomato red, and she pounced to tickle her.

The best friends immediately burst into a rumble, laughter and playfulness spreading throughout.

The entire living room was buzzing with energy.

Only Qiuqiu watched from the side.

She seemed a bit detached, as if not knowing how to fit into such an overly close-knit group.

Lingling’s eyes darted around, noticing her awkwardness.

"Come come come! Let’s play some Honor of Kings, together as a team! Qiuqiu, get on!"

In her eyes, this kind of MOBA game was the best for breaking the ice with groups.

Qiuqiu hesitated for a moment, then said softly: "I’m not very good, afraid I’ll mess up."

"No worries, having fun is the most important part, with me here, I’ll carry you!"

The four opened a game room, ready to randomly match with a stranger teammate.

Though their skills varied and wins were scarce compared to losses, the joy of battling side by side quickly drew them closer.

Qiuqiu’s face gradually showed more smiles.

Just as a game ended, WhatsApp popped up with a message.

[Su Yu’s April: "Lingling, I’ll probably arrive at your community around 11."]

Lingling’s eyes lit up, she showed the screen to everyone, jokingly saying, "What a coincidence! That ’Su Yu’ just sent a message, she’s saying she’s really coming over!"

"Whoa? Pretty gutsy!" Li Shumin perked up, "Bring her in! I want to meet this drama queen who dares impersonate my idol!"

Yao Lingling burst into laughter: "Alright, alright, I’ll ask her."

She immediately replied on WhatsApp: [Sure, welcome. By the way, Su Yu, do you play Honor of Kings? We’re currently missing one, want to join a game?]

[Su Yu’s April: "Sure, I can."]

"All set!" Lingling winked at her friends, "This is a ’big star,’ make sure you guys are polite later, don’t scare her off!"

"Got it! Don’t worry!"

Qiuqiu also smiled slightly, although she knew it was fake, seeing the ID felt quite nice.

After two minutes, **[Su Yu’s April]** was pulled into the room.

A normal avatar, a normal silver rank, no skins or aristocrat badges, as plain as can be.

Li Shumin couldn’t wait to open the audio, speaking with a coaxed voice: "Hello hello? Is this Miss Su Yu herself opposite? I’m Lingling’s good friend, your ten-year hardcore fan Li Shumin~ It’s such an honor to meet you!"

[Su Yu’s April] typed a reply: "It’s me."

"Wow! It’s really an idol!" Li Shumin suppressed her laugh, continued teasing, "Can you send me a signed CD? The out-of-print debut 10th anniversary edition! I dream of having it!"

Zhang Jiahong and Yao Lingling chimed in: "We want one too! We want one too!"

[Su Yu’s April]: "No problem, I’ll bring it to you guys later."

"Thank you, Miss Su Yu! You’re too generous!" Li Shumin exaggeratedly exclaimed, "Then... when we meet, can we take a photo together? I want to show off on Moments!"

[Su Yu’s April]: "That’s inconvenient, I’m in Yan City secretly."

"Then how about personal keepsake not for posting?"

[Su Yu’s April]: "Sure."

Seeing this series of calm replies, Li Shumin muted herself, quietly grumbled: "Oh my, too good an actor! Not flustered at all, really thinks she’s Su Yu? If she truly were, I’d eat my phone right now!"
