Chapter 1077: Chapter 484: Xiaolin the Customer Service Rep Is Not Happy to Serve You

Just a moment ago, I was agreeing with Lin Li’s reasoning, but this rich-tasting Wu Lifeng is now stunned in his seat, head tilted back, eyes a bit vacant as he looks at Lin Li and Qin Xuan, who are smiling happily at the elders around the table.

He even forgot to chew.

As for the other people present...

It’s well-known that no elder could resist Lin Li and Qin Xuan’s kind of "thoughtfulness."

Usually at banquets, the elders would ask or hope the younger generation would pay respect to the traditions of the banquet table by proposing toasts, yet even then, they often faced polite refusals, and even when agreed, it was mostly reluctantly.

But today, what stroke of luck allows them to see these two kids willingly join in the cultural activities?

So, the people at the table were initially stunned by what they heard, then immediately burst into laughter and joined in.

They spoke phrases like "Good, good, good," standing up, or hurriedly pouring a drink for themselves or others, while eyeing the cups of others and saying things like "Ah, Xuan is proactively toasting, and you’re drinking only this little?" trying to apply some peer pressure.

In short, because Lin Li and Qin Xuan stood up, everyone gladly joined in standing, leading to everyone standing up.

Oh.

Not everyone.

By the time Wu Lifeng realized what was happening—

His raised head slowly lowered, and meanwhile, his hand holding the chopsticks started trembling slightly.

"Cough cough! Cough cough cough—"

Maybe he wanted to cough up blood, but anyway, Wu Lifeng started coughing, and to prevent the food from being completely spewed out, he had to cover his mouth with his hand, coughing muffledly at his seat.

Lin Li OvO: "Toasting everyone! And especially to Brother Huo and Sister-in-law Liu!"

Qin Xuan OvO: "Wish you a hundred years of harmony! Many children soon! Happiness every day!"

The elders at the table: "Good, good, good!!"

In a large hall, with no effort to lower voices, other tables could easily hear this table’s commotion.

Located at the main table, Fang Qihuo watched Lin Li and his fully standing table, and upon hearing their blessings, he was already preparing to start the toasting ritual for each table, so he patted Yu Liu’s arm, and both stood up, toasting back to this table from afar.

The parents of both sides stood up as well, without any awkwardness, instead smiling with satisfaction at the atmosphere.

For the elders, hosting a banquet is often about face and ambiance.

When guests at other tables saw relatives at the main table standing up along with the parents from both sides, it seemed inappropriate to remain seated, thus the sound of chairs sliding filled the hall.

Do-mi-no.

Everyone stood up; just missing a teacher.

As someone noticed being out of place, Lin Li’s uncle, Wu Lifeng’s father, frowned and glanced at his clueless son, slightly lowering his voice, urging without patience:

"Feng, what’s the matter, stand up."

Wu Lifeng: "..."

He didn’t lift his head; his cheeks moved trying to chew meticulously.

Stupid mouth, chew faster!

Use all your might to chew, damn it!

Wu Lifeng wasn’t refraining from spitting the food out because he considered it inelegant.

He just discovered that when the quantity of food is large enough, and the roots of the vegetables are intertwined, it’s like having a lightbulb in the mouth; it’s difficult to swallow immediately, but also hard to spit out.

"Feng! Lifeng!" The uncle kept pressing.

At that moment, Wu Lifeng felt like he was in a park in the United States.

Lin Li, dressed in a baseball jacket, and Qin Xuan, his sidekick, while doing the Thomas maneuver, tauntingly looked at him:

"Hey, listen up, Wu Lifeng, this weekend we’re hosting a super cool standing party, all the school’s legendary figures will attend, stand with us."

"Oh, guess who wasn’t invited?"

"It’s you! Weirdo! You look like my grandma’s burnt apple pie! So you can’t stand with us!"

That’s how you get rejected!

But not standing up was no longer an option, so Wu Lifeng could only muster all his strength to chew, standing up while lowering his head, clutching his drink in a tall glass.

Yu Guang maliciously glared at the two.

Yet the two seemed entirely oblivious, defiantly not sparing a glance at him.

Even continuing to lead the rhythm:

"Another toast to the newlyweds—",

"Toast—"

Naturally, Wu Lifeng could only mimic the action of drinking.

"Thank you, thank you!!" After several rounds of collective toasting were done, Fang Qihuo laughed, raising both hands to motion downwards, "Thank you, everyone, please sit down and enjoy your meal, it’s time for Yu Liu and I to toast everyone."

Only then did everyone respond and sit down.

"Sister Xuan, I suddenly remembered I have a night study session tonight, I need to attend class now, see you after New Year." Before his bottom hit the chair, Lin Li suddenly activated a student mindset.

Unfortunately, his right wrist was already grabbed.

Lin Li turned his head.

A resentment like a red-robe ghost burst from the eyes of his cousin.

"Brother, what’s up?" Lin Li smiled appeasingly.

Wu Lifeng didn’t speak; he just stared.

"Brother, if you don’t speak, I’ll leave, there’s really an urgent matter."

"Brother, say something?"

Wu Lifeng sneered: "How do I (chew chew chew) talk when my mouth is full of (chew chew chew) food?"

"Brother, I was going to donate these digestive tablets to Africa, but now they’re for you."

Knowing escape was hopeless, Lin Li slouched back in his seat, pulling out a pack of digestive tablets from his pocket, handed it to Wu Lifeng, and spoke with a smile.
