Shangguan Lin stood there quietly watching until Chen Feng's figure completely disappeared before she lowered her head and looked at her hands.
The left hand slowly opened, revealing the azure-blue "Sky City" gem inside.
This is what Chen Feng put in her hand when he kissed it earlier.
Also handed over was a white card:
Beautiful gemstones often shine when paired with beautiful women.
—The Phantom Thief Kid who was invited to come]
Upon seeing the signature, Shangguan Lin couldn't help but smile.
She knew, of course, that when Chen Feng said he was "invited," he meant her previous invitation to Chen Feng to steal the Sky City together.
Although she was the one who proposed the idea, the entire operation was planned and orchestrated by Chen Feng from beginning to end, and she only provided some assistance from the sidelines.
As the main contributor, she wouldn't say anything even if Chen Feng took the gem without saying a word, but...
Shangguan Lin looked at the gem in her hand, then glanced in the direction Chen Feng had left, sighed softly, and muttered to herself in a voice only she could hear:
"What a pity... Xiaoxi met you first..."
……
The New Year's bells finally rang.
Along with the sound of firecrackers exploding, news also arrived that Chen Feng's operation had succeeded.
And in less than a day, it exploded online:
Chen Feng succeeds again! He steals the gemstone—Sky City—from the travel yacht!
[Instant teleportation? Chen Feng performs magic again, stunning the audience!]
Even a cruise ship flying high in the sky can't stop Chen Feng's progress?
[Shocking! Chen Feng, who enjoys immense fame worldwide, actually did this on a travel yacht!]
The comment section below the report was still incredibly lively.
"I watched yesterday's live stream, and I almost died laughing. It turns out that all that guarding by the pursuit team was just a prelude to the discovery that Feng Shen had been hiding right next to them all along!"
"Damn, I saw it too. It was the sister of the pursuit team leader who was disguised."
"More than two thousand meters in the air! Doesn't anyone wonder how Feng Shen got up there?"
"Dude, you're just curious if that thing is useful? As if you could learn how to make it yourself."
"That makes sense. Then I'm not curious anymore. As long as Feng Shen is awesome, that's all that matters!"
The internet was buzzing with excitement, and similarly, China was also bustling with activity as it welcomed the Lunar New Year's Eve.
Every household was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and the dazzling fireworks and the loud sounds of firecrackers echoed each other.
Inside the dessert shop.
Shangguan Xi sat alone at the front desk, quietly watching her younger sister Shangguan Meng and older sister Shangguan Lin set off fireworks outside.
He rested his chin on his hand, seemingly lost in thought.
H City does not ban firecrackers, which gives the city a more festive atmosphere than other places.
boom!
Another firecracker exploded outside the door. Shangguan Meng, wearing earmuffs and a cotton scarf, smiled and turned to look at Shangguan Xi at the front desk.
"Second sister! Don't just sit there! Come over and set off fireworks with us!"
Shangguan Lin also turned her head, looking at Shangguan Xi, whose face clearly showed she had something on her mind. She shook her head inwardly, and then smiled and spoke:
"Yeah, Xiaoxi, come play with us! What are you doing sitting there?"
Hearing their greetings, Shangguan Xi had no choice but to put aside her thoughts and stand up from her seat at the front desk.
"coming!"
After saying that, Shangguan Xi lifted her foot and walked outside.
"Here you go, second sister, put one down too."
Shangguan Meng handed the lighter in her hand to Shangguan Xi, indicating that she should also put one on.
Shangguan Xi did not refuse. She took the lighter, walked to the fireworks, slowly squatted down, found the fuse, and aimed the lighter at the firework.
click!
As the lighter flame appeared, the firework's fuse was quickly ignited, and then...
With a series of "whoosh" sounds, fireworks soared into the sky and exploded, creating a dazzling display of colors.
"So beautiful!"
Shangguan Meng put her hands to her mouth, making a "trumpet" shape, and shouted happily.
Smiles gradually appeared on the faces of Shangguan Lin and Shangguan Xi.
Ring ring—
Just then, a phone rang, pulling Shangguan Xi back to reality.
Shangguan Xi picked up her phone and saw that it was a call from an unknown number.
Shangguan Xi didn't think much of it and simply answered the phone and put it to her ear.
Hello? Who is this?
……
Chapter 176 New Year's Gift
silence……
Shangguan Xi frowned slightly and raised her voice, continuing, "May I ask who you are? If you don't answer, I'm hanging up!"
There was still silence.
Just as Shangguan Xi thought it was a harassing call and was about to hang up,
A familiar voice came from both my left ear and the phone.
Happy New Year, madam.
The gentle breath brushed against Shangguan Xi's ear, causing her to freeze in place.
Slowly turn your neck and look to the left.
A young man wearing a baseball cap was standing to one side. He had regular features, a high nose bridge, and a gentle smile on his lips.
Most importantly... Chen Feng didn't disguise himself this time; he came here with his true face.
“Kidd…”
Shangguan Xi muttered to herself in a daze.
The next second, a red rose appeared in Chen Feng's hand and was handed to Shangguan Xi.
Chen Feng smiled and said, "I hope you won't mind that I came uninvited."
"of course."
Shangguan Xi smiled and said, "I'm very happy to have you here."
The commotion was quickly noticed by Shangguan Lin and Shangguan Meng, who were standing nearby.
Shangguan Meng immediately put away her lighter and walked towards them with a teasing smile:
"Oh dear, I wondered who it was that made my second sister so happy. Sure enough, just as I expected!"
As she spoke, Shangguan Meng exaggeratedly brought her face close to Shangguan Xi's, as if afraid that Shangguan Xi wouldn't feel embarrassed.
"You little rascal! You're teasing me!"
Without any hesitation, Shangguan Xi raised her hand and slapped Shangguan Meng on the buttocks.
With a sharp "smack," Shangguan Meng, who had just been teasing, instantly clutched her bottom and ran to the side, glaring at Shangguan Xi with a face full of grief and indignation.
"Second sister! You! You..."
Shangguan Xi waved her hand, looking somewhat smug: "Let's see if you dare to tease your own sister again!"
Seeing that she couldn't reason with Shangguan Xi, Shangguan Meng quickly ran to Shangguan Lin's side:
"Big sister! Look at second sister! She spanked me!"
"Alright, stop fooling around. It's quite cold outside. Let's go inside."
Shangguan Lin smiled and stepped forward, her gaze lingering on Chen Feng for a moment before quickly shifting away, as if afraid of being misunderstood.
"It's New Year's! Let's go back inside to celebrate!" Shangguan Meng's butt didn't hurt anymore, and she bounced along ahead.
Shangguan Xi also turned to Chen Feng with a smile: "Let's go."
"it is good."
Chen Feng nodded and followed the three Shangguan sisters into the house.
And this is the front desk area of the coffee shop.
Sitting in the front desk chair, Lin Qingyao watched Chen Feng and the other three disappear from sight one after another, and slowly put down the book in her hand.
Hearing the continuous sound of firecrackers coming from outside, Lin Qingyao lowered her eyes slightly, feeling a little disappointed.
"It's Chinese New Year..."
Lin Qingyao muttered to herself.
As someone who comes out to work alone, she is always a little afraid of these lively festivals, since her family is far away and she can't go back.
Looking back at the bustling city, amidst all the lights, not a single one belongs to me, let alone any holiday gifts.
click!
As if things weren't going to go wrong, just when Lin Qingyao was feeling down, the electrical circuits in the coffee shop malfunctioned, plunging the entire place into darkness.
Left with no other choice, Lin Qingyao stood up and went to the electrical box to check it.
