Chapter 77 So Tired!

"So tired!" Ye Xiu stood up from the computer, stretching, only to be glared at by two people busy with New Year's preparations, their foreheads covered in sweat.

"How's it going? How's the tidying up?" Ye Xiu walked over with his hands behind his back, looking every bit the leader inspecting the work.

Chen Guo raised her hand and threw something over. Ye Xiu was quick, catching it with a lift of his hand. He looked and saw it was an apple.

"Take all the fruit to wash!" Chen Guo assigned Ye Xiu a task, only to hear a "crunch" – Ye Xiu had already taken a bite of the apple.

"What, it hasn't been washed yet..." Ye Xiu, with a bite of the dirty apple in his mouth, remained calm, calmly opening his mouth to spit out the bite, casually tossing the bitten apple back to Chen Guo.

Chen Guo didn't catch it, sidestepping to let the apple fly to the door, rolling out with a *glug*.

"Come and work," Chen Guo said, expressionless.

Ye Xiu strolled over, and the three of them worked together, starting to gather the large and small bags they had bought.

Even though it was close to the New Year, the internet cafe wasn't completely without business, but those who occasionally wandered in were frightened by the scene inside.

"Boss... are you holding a party?" Someone asked, stunned by the festive decorations in the internet cafe.

Chen Guo was pleased; this complete misunderstanding was clearly a kind of indirect recognition of their hard work.

"Come, come, sit anywhere. Candy, melon seeds, and peanuts are free!" Customers attracted by Chen Guo were given a free fruit plate.

"Not bad." Looking at the internet cafe, which they had spent an afternoon tidying up and making look like a party venue, Chen Guo wiped the sweat from her forehead and said with satisfaction.

"Come on, one red envelope for each of you." Chen Guo turned her head and gave the twins a reward.

"Thank you, boss." Ye Xiu accepted it without a word.

"Haha, there are red envelopes!" Ye Qiu didn't decline either.

"You're going back tomorrow, right? Then let's have a good meal tonight," Chen Guo said.

"What do you mean by 'a good meal'?" Having lived in Happy Internet Cafe for two months, Ye Xiu had already experienced Chen Guo's concept of "a good meal," which usually just meant ordering a few more dishes.

Chen Guo rolled her eyes at him. "I'll see if I can still make a reservation." She flipped out her phone, clearly really planning to "have a good meal" and ordering a feast.

"Don't, don't, don't." But Ye Qiu jumped out to stop her. "No need to go to so much trouble. What do you usually eat? Let's just have the same as always!"

Chen Guo paused, then laughed. "I understand. You want to experience life, right?"

"However... today's experience might not be too authentic!" Chen Guo glanced at the small restaurant across from the internet cafe, which had a good business relationship with her Happy Internet Cafe, and which usually took care of the internet cafe's meals. But because the owner was going home for the New Year, it had been closed since yesterday.

"As long as the sentiment is there," Ye Qiu said.

"Alright then!" Chen Guo nodded, took her wallet, and pulled out a few red notes to give to Ye Xiu. "Turn left when you go out; there must still be restaurants that haven't closed. Go quickly."

After speaking, she pointed at Ye Xiu, who was about to run the errand, and said to Ye Qiu, "See, this is part of life."

"Hahaha, life is so beautiful!" Ye Qiu laughed.

"Want to go? Experience it?" Ye Xiu handed the money to Ye Qiu.

"No need; let's skip this part!" Ye Qiu wasn't an idiot; of course there was nothing good about experiencing running errands.

Ye Xiu lit a cigarette, turned around, and went out. Chen Guo called to Ye Qiu and set up the dining table that the internet cafe usually used for meals, then pointed to the few customers and said, "There aren't many people here today. Usually at this time, there are a lot of customers, and some of them will get food too. The whole internet cafe is like a restaurant, full of the aroma of food."

"What a pity, I can't experience it today," Ye Qiu said regretfully.

"Come again when you have the chance!" Chen Guo said.

"Okay, definitely!" Ye Qiu nodded.

The two sat at the dining table, chatting idly. Ye Qiu told Chen Guo a lot of embarrassing stories about Ye Xiu when he was a child. Chen Guo also wanted to reciprocate with a few such stories, but after thinking carefully, it seemed that she was the one who was often tangled up since Ye Xiu came to Happy Internet Cafe. Chen Guo didn't want to be the protagonist of such stories, so she gave up.

"I'm back." Carrying two large bags of soup and rice boxes, Ye Xiu finally returned.

"Smells good." Ye Qiu was already looking forward to it.

"Um, it seems like we didn't eat lunch?" Chen Guo finally remembered something.

"Eat more if you're hungry," Ye Xiu said, putting down his things and lighting a cigarette first.

"Let's see what there is." Ye Qiu took out the rice boxes one by one.

"Oh, not bad, not bad."

"Ah, very good, very good."

"Eh, not bad, not bad."

"Very powerful, all my favorite foods." Ye Qiu nodded repeatedly after looking at the dishes.

"I can't tell, you're actually a good older brother," Chen Guo said.

"I've always been one; it's just that young people don't understand, which is why you have some misunderstandings," Ye Xiu said.

Young people... Chen Guo was speechless. These were twin brothers, although there was a distinction between older and younger brother, the difference in age was actually negligible.

"Is there no wine?" Ye Qiu set out the rice boxes and found there was nothing to drink.

"That's right! Didn't you buy any wine?" Chen Guo also asked.

"I don't drink," Ye Xiu said.

"Oh?" Chen Guo was surprised. Ye Xiu, who smoked so fiercely, actually didn't drink. This was something she hadn't expected.

"If I drink too much, my hands will shake," Ye Xiu said.

"Oh, I understand!" Chen Guo understood. As a professional expert, one's hands must be extremely stable. Any slight instability can have a serious impact on micro-control. For Glory esports players, wine should indeed be avoided as much as possible.

"If you don't drink, we can drink!" Ye Qiu said.

"That's right!" Chen Guo also remembered, "We can drink!"

"You two... I don't have enough hands..." Ye Xiu said helplessly.

"Oh." Chen Guo reacted, then stood up. "I have some wine upstairs that's been sitting for a long time without anyone drinking it. Let's take it down and drink it. Ye Xiu, come help."

Ye Xiu, who hadn't even warmed his butt on the seat, had to get up again. The two went upstairs, and Chen Guo asked, "What kind of wine does your brother drink?"

"I haven't been home for ten years," Ye Xiu reminded, indicating that he really didn't know Ye Qiu's taste in alcohol.

"Go ask," Chen Guo said.

So Ye Xiu went back downstairs, and soon Ye Qiu ran upstairs. Chen Guo was speechless and called Ye Qiu to pick out the wine himself.

"Come, come, let's just treat today as New Year's Day! Happy New Year, Happy New Year." Chen Guo was, after all, the true owner here. She raised her glass and began to greet the two brothers.

Ye Xiu said he didn't drink, but he still symbolically poured a little. The three clinked glasses and drank. There were still some customers in the internet cafe, and they saw these three people acting as if no one else was around, celebrating the festival amidst the onlookers.

There was a lot of food, and Chen Guo also brought a lot of wine, but this meal was really super short. No one had expected that Ye Qiu would get drunk so quickly, so thoroughly. In just a moment, his head suddenly fell onto the table, and no matter how much they called him, they couldn't wake him up.

"So weak," Ye Xiu shook his head repeatedly.

"Doesn't he know how to drink?" Chen Guo was also surprised.

"I really don't know this," Ye Xiu said.

"You don't even know if he's allergic to alcohol, right?" Chen Guo asked nervously.

"I'm not allergic; same DNA, I guess he won't be either," Ye Xiu said.

"What do we do now?"

"Are you full?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Not yet."

"Then keep eating," Ye Xiu said.

Chen Guo numbly picked up a mouthful of food, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "You wouldn't be like him, would you? Drinking just a little bit and then collapsing?"

"Of course not," Ye Xiu flatly denied.

"You never drink, so you actually don't know, right?" Chen Guo said.

"Uh..." Ye Xiu couldn't answer.

"Same DNA, tsk tsk tsk," Chen Guo said with emotion.

"Different achievements, tsk tsk tsk," Ye Xiu also said with emotion.

"You're just saying that, right? He doesn't look like someone without achievements," Chen Guo said.

"Of course I'm just saying that," Ye Xiu said.

Ye Qiu stayed slumped for a full two hours. When he woke up again, his eyes were still dazed.

"Are you okay?" Soon, a cup of hot tea was handed to him, and Chen Guo watched from the side.

"Oh? What happened?" Ye Qiu asked blankly.

"You're drunk," Chen Guo said.

"Am I? How long have I been drunk?" Ye Qiu asked.

"Two hours," Chen Guo said.

"Aiyo, then it must be very late now?" Ye Qiu said, looking at the time and freezing. Looking back two hours, he immediately knew how quickly he had gotten drunk. This was definitely a time that would make everyone at the table sweat.

"Cough..." Ye Qiu was too embarrassed to speak.

"How are you now?" Chen Guo asked.

"It's nothing, nothing, I'm fine!" Ye Qiu nimbly got up, wanting to prove himself again, but as soon as he stood up, his body tilted.

"Ah, so dizzy," Ye Qiu shouted, and Chen Guo quickly supported him.

"If you're dizzy, go lie down upstairs!" Chen Guo said.

"No need, no need, no need for help, no one needs to help." Ye Qiu insisted that he was fine, wobbled two steps, then slapped his hand on the wall. "I'll just hold onto the wall..." He still left half of his words unsaid.

Chen Guo, standing aside, didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and shouted for Ye Xiu.

"What a waste," Ye Xiu, still playing the game, helplessly came over.

"Do you still know where the stairs are?" Ye Xiu asked.

"I know, I know," Ye Qiu said.

"Where?"

"Um, on the other side of the wall..." Ye Qiu said.

"Get lost!" Ye Xiu reached out and supported him. Chen Guo also came over to help, and Ye Qiu didn't insist this time. The two of them pulled, dragged, and tugged him, finally managing to get him to the room on the second floor.

"Let him sleep in my room?" Chen Guo said to Ye Xiu.

"No need, no need, I'll just sleep here!!" Ye Qiu was still awake, stubbornly pointing with his hand, but it was crooked, pointing to the coffee table in the living room.

"Throw him in my room..." Ye Xiu pushed open his own door, and without a doubt, he directly threw Ye Qiu in, taking off his shoes, covering him with a blanket, and again serving him for a while.

"Having a brother is still pretty good, right?" Watching Ye Xiu carefully tidying up Ye Qiu, Chen Guo said with a smile.

"So-so," Ye Xiu said.
