I Deliver Food in a Lamborghini

54 Peacock Spreads Its Tail

Nan Ge turned around in horror.

Behind her, her brother was wearing a thin white blanket and sitting cross-legged on the bed.

He was like a big Buddha, but his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He was looking at her with resentment.

Nan Ge nervously swallowed her saliva and slowly raised a hand. “Uh… Actually, I can explain.”

!!

Her brother gave her a cold smile.

“You still say that I have no class.” Nan Zhe waved the phone in his hand and sneered. “You’re such a cultured person, yet you’re peeking at other people’s phones?”

“…” The blush on Nan Ge’s face had not subsided to begin with. After hearing his words, her embarrassed cheeks heated up even more. “I didn’t look at anything else. I swear!”

“Besides, you’re not anyone else.”

“We’re biological siblings. Blood is thicker than water!”

“Pfft.” Nan Zhe rolled his eyes.

Nan Zhe put his phone aside and crossed his arms as he examined her. “You haven’t given up yet.”

“I was just curious. I didn’t mean anything else,” Nan Ge muttered softly. “Who knew that you weren’t asleep? You actually pretended to be asleep to scare me.”

“Damn it.”

Nan Zhe was so angry that he threw a pillow at her. “Who told you that I wasn’t asleep?! You woke me up!”

“It’s fine if your hands did not remain idle after coming in, but you kept muttering.”

“Heh. When I opened my eyes, I thought some new species had invaded Earth.”

Nan Ge, “…”

Gritting her teeth, she got up from the ground and gave up. “Alright, I know this isn’t right, but I’ve already seen it. What can you do to me?!”

Nan Zhe smiled until his eyes were curved. “Do you think I can’t do anything to you? Let’s talk about your new car…”

“I was wrong!” Nan Ge was instantly terrified. Her legs went weak and she almost wanted to bow to him and say “Brother, Happy New Year” ahead of time.

“Let’s talk things out.”

Nan Zhe pushed her away mercilessly.

“Given your performance tonight, I don’t think you really want to see your new car.”

Nan Zhe made the final decision.

“So I’ve decided…”

Nan Ge’s pupils constricted. She quickly covered his mouth blocking his “microphone”. “Why are you saying that again?”

“Nan Zhe, it’s the New Year. Don’t force me to cry for this!”

“…”

——

At midnight, new messages kept popping up on Nan Ge’s WeChat. She picked up a dumpling and took a bite. She swiped the screen with her other hand and slowly unlocked it.

Beside him, Nan Zhe’s eyes were half-closed. He supported his head with one hand and was sleepy.

He would usually feel sleepy after drinking, especially when he was woken up by Nan Ge after falling asleep for a while. He looked listless now and looked like he was about to fall asleep.

Hearing Nan Ge’s phone ring, he opened one eye and glanced at her from the corner of his eye. “Who is it in the middle of the night?”

“Haven’t any of your friends texted you Happy New Year?” Nan Ge raised her eyebrows. “Brother, are you already in such a dire state?”

“Tsk. It’s just a message in a group chat. What’s the big deal?” Nan Zhe was disdainful. He took out his phone and scrolled through WeChat messages.

He didn’t even receive a New Year greeting inside a group chat.

On the other side, Nan Ge took the opportunity to scroll to the bottom and looked at Shen Yanqing’s chat group in surprise.

She chewed on the dumpling and casually tapped on it.

Shen: [Happy New Year.]

[Transfer: $8,888]

[Transfer Note: New Year’s red packet for Baby Penguin.]

[Alright. I can say goodnight to you now.]

[Good night. Sweet dreams.]

Shen Yanqing had consulted Assistant Yuan beforehand. The other party said that he could not send too much. It was best not to exceed $10,000, or the other party would feel pressured.

You can send some numbers like 520 or 1314 to show your love.

Shen Yanqing did not understand at first. He only knew what these numbers meant after checking.

However, he felt using such numbers to express love might seem a little abrupt. According to Nan Ge’s personality, she might not accept it.

Hence, after thinking about it, he sent $8,888.

——

At the dining table, Nan Ge’s eyes widened.

As if unsure, she closed her eyes for a few seconds before opening them again.

It was still the same message.

Transfer of $8,888…

Baby Penguin’s red packet for the new year.

...

“Hiss…” She could not help but gasp. She was so shocked that the dumplings on her chopsticks fell back into her bowl.

Coincidentally, Nan Zhe, who was beside her, was splashed with vinegar on his face.

“Nan Ge!”

“Huh?” Nan Ge turned her head in confusion. When she saw what was on his face, she was so frightened that she quickly grabbed some tissue. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”

“You’re so distracted. Who sent you a text message?”

Nan Ge paused in her actions of wiping his face. “No one. It’s just… a group message.”

Nan Zhe did not dare to say that he understood his sister 100%.

However, he could often guess most of Nan Ge’s thoughts.

Seeing her guilty look, he was no longer sleepy. He snatched the tissue and threw it on the table, not caring about his image.

He probed, “Shen Yanqing must have sent you a message.”

Hearing this, Nan Ge suddenly looked up in surprise. “How did you know?”

...

As soon as she finished speaking, she met Nan Zhe’s narrowed black eyes and gradually snapped out of her thoughts…

“Erm… no, it wasn’t him!”

She was embarrassed and subconsciously covered her phone.

Nan Zhe took in her reaction and laughed in anger.

“I’m not you. I have always done things openly. I won’t peek at other people’s text messages.”

Hearing this, Nan Ge could not help but look at him suspiciously.

She would never believe a word of her brother’s nonsense.

Nan Zhe glared at her. “What are you looking at!”

After saying that, he pretended that nothing had happened and picked up his chopsticks again.

Nan Ge continued to stare at him and count down in her heart.

Three.

Two.

One.

When it was time, the husky beside her threw down his chopsticks and reached out to her. “Show me!”

Nan Ge rolled her eyes speechlessly. She knew it would be like this!

“Didn’t you say you wouldn’t peek?”

Nan Zhe’s words made sense. “How am I peeking?”

“I’m looking at your phone openly. Why? Do you have a problem with that?”

As he spoke, he acted shamelessly again. “I don’t care. I want to see your phone today. If you don’t give it to me, I’ll snatch it. Anyway, I already remembered the pattern you unlocked your phone with.”

Nan Ge asked, “Are you a bandit?!”

“Then call the police and arrest me. I’ll be provided with food and accommodation.” Nan Zhe looked arrogant.

“Of course, I can choose not to look at it if you read it to me. I’m very flexible.”

Nan Ge, “…”

Seeing that he was staring at her so intently, she had no choice. “He just said Happy New Year.”

“I don’t believe you.” Nan Zhe was not so easily dismissed. “If that was all, would you have such an expression?”

“What’s with my face?”

“You look like you were gushing.”

She blushed, unable to defend herself. “I didn’t!”

“Tsk. Did he confess to you?”

He touched his chin and refused to stop talking, “This old man is so wily. He keeps provoking me directly with a straight ball. I’m sure he’s spreading his tail like a peacock in front of you.”
