Chapter 1786 Internet-Addicted Couple
"Hiss..." Ye Yaodong grimaced in pain, rubbing his aching arm back and forth.
"Go back to the house."
"What's the point of going back now? They're both still playing games, yelling and screaming. You'll just be staring blankly at them playing games, without even watching TV. Isn't that boring?"
Ye Yaodong pulled her aside, put his arm around her shoulder, and half-pushed her out, continuing to coax her.
"Let's just go out for a stroll, there's nothing to do back home anyway."
"Just browsing around?"
"Yes, I'll just wander around, enjoy the breeze and take a walk. I'm just killing time anyway, and I'll be bored when I get back. It's rare for me to have free time. I just came up from home. If you want to call me in a couple of days, you probably won't be able to find me."
"It's a pity. It would be so much more convenient if we were in the same city. We could contact each other anytime with a mobile phone."
"Oh right, I forgot again if you hadn't mentioned it. Let's go out and buy a mobile phone tomorrow when we're free. That way, if someone needs to contact me when I'm out socializing or running errands, they can call me immediately. That will be more convenient."
"It can only be used in this city. If I go to another place, I can't use it anymore. Isn't that too wasteful?"
“What’s the waste? I’ve always stayed here. I might occasionally go to Shanghai or go home. I spend most of the year here. If you can’t reach me by phone, the factory can call my number. If there’s anything, we can get it communicated immediately.”
When Lin Xiuqing heard him say that, her attention was completely drawn to her mobile phone, and she forgot that she was being pushed outside by him.
“What you said makes some sense. It can indeed make things much more convenient. Otherwise, sometimes when you go out for social events, you can’t contact anyone.”
"Yes, it's for convenience. Many bosses have mobile phones now, and it's inconvenient for me not to contact them, which can easily lead to customer losses."
"Then go ahead and buy it. I don't have anything to do tomorrow during the day, so I'll go out and buy it in the morning when it's less hot, and come back early. How much does one cost? I think it'll be around ten or twenty thousand?"
"It depends on the brand. I heard they all cost 10,000 to 20,000 yuan, and the better ones should cost more than 20,000 yuan. Then there are some other miscellaneous fees. You'll know when you go to see it tomorrow."
"That's really expensive."
"Otherwise, how could it become a symbol of status? When going out for social events, you can just put your mobile phone on the table, and even the way you call for food will be different."
Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes with a laugh, "The way people call for food is different, and you could tell?"
"That's right, his voice is even louder now."
“We can’t let them outdo us. You should buy one too, and then you can talk louder than them.”
"I don't compare myself to others. If I wanted to, I would have bought one already. It's not a big deal to have a mobile phone."
Having seen smartphones before, he realized this old-fashioned mobile phone was even worse than a basic feature phone, which is why he hadn't bought one and simply didn't have much of a desire for it.
However, having one now would definitely be more convenient. At least most of the bosses I know have one now, and buying one would make communication easier.
He didn't buy it the first two years because nobody else did, and even when he did, nobody called.
Nowadays, most bosses are gradually adopting mobile phones, even if they don't really like them, they still have to buy one to keep in their hands.
"I heard that computers are available now, and they're even more expensive than mobile phones."
"Yes, we have computers now. We'll go see if we can buy any tomorrow. The factory definitely needs computers for office work, especially for the finance and sales staff."
Lin Xiuqing looked on in surprise, "You're planning to give everyone one?"
"No way, it's only just come out, and not everyone needs one yet. If possible, we'd like to buy two, one for the finance department and one for me!"
What do you need a computer for?
"As the boss, am I not allowed to have a computer? Shouldn't I, as the boss, be the first to enjoy the good stuff?"
"Okay, then I'll have to bring a bag of money again tomorrow?"
"No need. Let's buy a mobile phone first. We can look at the computer for now and get to know it. There's no need to buy it right away."
Lin Xiuqing sighed, "There are so many new electronic products coming out in the past few years, from game consoles and computers to pagers and mobile phones."
"There are so many new things coming out, far more than these, but we haven't specifically looked into them, so we don't know."
"Hmm..." Lin Xiuqing suddenly realized that they were going further and further astray. "How did we end up here?"
"It's nothing, just browsing around."
She turned her head and glared at him, "You always choose to go to remote places, aren't you afraid of being robbed?"
"How could that be? It's right near the factory, and they're robbing us? Everyone in the surrounding villages knows that our factory is full of veterans. If you're looking to die, you're not coming here to die."
As Ye Yaodong spoke, he glanced around. There was indeed no one there. Not many lights were on in the village. There weren't many activities in the countryside at night, and people usually went to bed early.
The days are still long and the nights are short, and the temperature is high. People can go to bed early and get up early. Farmers get up to work as early as four or five in the morning, and fishermen, needless to say, often get up at one or two in the morning or two or three in the morning to go out to sea.
So at this moment, he was very bold. He slid his left hand from her shoulder to her back and reached out from under her armpit to grab Yuanyuan.
Lin Xiuqing hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "The factory lights can still shine on us..."
"It's dark under the lamp, you know? We can't see what's in the light, and there's no one around in the dark, so don't worry."
"Why is your mind full of dirty thoughts? Is home not enough for you? Do you still have to go to the wild?"
“I’m in my prime, and I’ve been a monk for over ten days. Why should I think about anything else? I should try more things and experience a variety of things while I’m young.”
Take advantage of the fact that there are no cameras now.
"It's weird... I feel nervous about doing something wrong, don't you feel that way too?"
"That's called excitement."
Hearing her say that made Ye Yaodong feel even more excited, and a certain part of his body was already standing at attention.
"Are you really going to stay outside? Why not come back to the factory?"
"You're all out now, listen to me for once."
The couple, one feeling scared and the other excited, pulled and tugged each other as they walked into the darkness. When the moment came and they had no choice but to act, Lin Xiuqing became extremely nervous.
"How about we go back to the factory? I can go to your office."
"Go to my office? You want to be in my office? That's not impossible. How about tomorrow? I'll move you to another office tomorrow and fulfill your expectations."
Lin Xiuqing pinched him. It wasn't that she wanted to be in the office; wasn't this a choice made out of necessity?
She'd rather be in the office than run off to the countryside.
The couple walked further and further into the desolate area, and by the time they got back it was already 9 o'clock.
Ye Chengyang and Ye Xiaoxi were having a great time playing the game, and no one was competing with them, so they couldn't be happier.
As for Ye Chengjiang and the others, they had no chance to play at all; they didn't even know that the siblings had returned.
Normally, the two siblings would go straight to their dorm to play with them as soon as they came back; the older siblings would never go out of their way to play with the younger ones.
The brother and sister returned yesterday at dusk. They had already driven out to pick up goods, and when they got back, they immediately went to sleep. They didn't wake up until noon.
The brother and sister ate lunch early and then stayed in their dorm playing games, without going anywhere else.
Nobody knows this, which means nobody's competing with them for it, right?
As soon as Ye Yaodong returned, he knocked on their table and said, "It's 9 o'clock, that's about time. Move to the next room to sleep."
"Why?" Ye Chengyang looked up and asked in confusion.
Ye Xiaoxi also asked, "Aren't we sleeping here? Why are we moving?"
"Because you guys are making too much noise playing games, and you also need to go to bed earlier to get your biological clock back."
"Then why don't we just turn off the TV and go to sleep at the designated time?"
"I don't want to sleep with you, okay? You're both so old, go sleep in the next room."
Ye Xiaoxi suddenly realized, "I know, you definitely want to send us to sleep next door so you and my mom can secretly play games!"
Ye Yaodong did not deny it, "You two have played all day, aren't you tired of your eyes?"
"My eyes are perfectly fine."
"If you keep playing like this, you'll go blind sooner or later."
"Then I'll sleep with Mom."
"You're so big now, you need to sleep by yourself."
Lin Xiuqing said, "Why don't we let them sleep here? It's only for two nights anyway. They'll be coming to Shanghai with me the day after tomorrow."
Ye Chengyang: "Ah, no."
Ye Xiaoxi: "No, we want to stay a few more days."
Ye Chengyang: "Dad, they won't let us take the game console to Shanghai. We can only play it here. We'll play until school starts before we go back."
Ye Xiaoxi: "Yes, we'll stay until school starts before we go back."
Ye Yaodong: "Wait until school starts before going back. Don't buy any new clothes, new shoes, new schoolbags, or stationery."
Ye Xiaoxi: "Yes."
Lin Xiuqing: "You should at least go back and buy it in advance."
Ye Xiaoxi: "Then let's just go back one day earlier."
"I don't have the time to stay here with you until the end of the month. I need to go back and collect my salary at the end of the month."
"Then will you bring the game console back with me?" Ye Xiaoxi asked tentatively.
"Dream on! If your dad won't let you play games, then you can forget about playing. Okay, that's enough. Go take a shower and go to bed right now. You've been playing so late and haven't even taken a shower yet."
Ye Xiaoxi sniffed her arms and clothes. "It doesn't smell bad, and we didn't sweat."
"It's so hot, you don't need to wash if you haven't sweated? Your arms are all sticky and you still don't want to wash them. Go take a shower right now, and stop playing around."
Ye Chengyang was completely absorbed in playing the game, "I'll finish the last match."
Ye Yaodong couldn't stand seeing him so engrossed in the game, so he snatched the game console from him and said, "I'll play for you, you go take a shower."
He dared not speak out in anger and could only watch.
Lin Xiuqing urged them again, and the two reluctantly went to take a bath.
The couple naturally sat down to continue the game for them.
After the two of them took a quick shower, the couple sent them straight to bed and stopped letting them play.
"Mom, you don't turn off the lights or the TV, how am I supposed to sleep?"
Ye Yaodong turned around and said to Lin Xiuqing, "Then why don't you tidy up your beds and sleep in the next room?"
"No."
The two of them fell silent, but instead of lying in bed, they stood quietly behind the couple, watching them play games. The couple only noticed them when they turned around to look.
If they don't sleep, the two kids definitely won't sleep either. They want to play games, and the two of them will have to stand behind and watch the whole time.
They turned off the TV and lights, and the whole family went to sleep quietly, no one playing anything.
The couple each had their own bed. They were done enjoying themselves, and there was no need to sleep side by side in the middle of summer; it was too hot.
Because we had enjoyed ourselves, we didn't insist on moving the two kids out to sleep that night.
However, the two children couldn't fall asleep at all in bed, and they were heartbroken at the thought of not being able to bring the game back to Shanghai to play.
There were still games to play, which provided some temporary comfort and allowed them to forget about the matter for a while. But now, lying in bed with their minds blank, they remembered it and even thought about bringing it up again.
Ye Xiaoxi tossed and turned, the bed creaking. "Dad, I can't sleep. Can you bring the game console back to Shanghai with us in a couple of days?"
"No, I told you, you can only play when you have time to come to the factory during your holidays."
"That would be too long to wait. There's only one holiday in the second half of the year: National Day and New Year's Day."
"So you'll be able to come back in about a month, right?"
"I want to play every day."
"You don't need to study anymore? Shut up and go to sleep. If you keep nagging, I'll send you all back tomorrow."
叶成洋小声的道：“那我们可以待到30号再去魔都吗？1号2号报名，我们30号回去，刚刚好1号报名， 2号准备开学的东西。”
"It's alright, go to sleep. If you keep nagging, you'll be going back tomorrow."
Having managed to buy themselves a few days, the two could only leave it at that for now and dared not say anything more.
The next morning, the couple woke up one after the other after a slight commotion in the factory downstairs.
Upon waking up, the two immediately turned on the TV and started playing games.
It was already daylight, and the light coming through the window was brighter than the television. As long as they didn't make a sound, the two of them weren't worried about waking the child.
However, when the brother and sister woke up and looked at their internet-addicted parents, they exchanged a glance and both looked helpless.
Ye Xiaoxi, still grumpy from waking up, snorted, "You two got up early to secretly play video games, and you still have the nerve to say that my brother and I are addicted to games, but you two are the ones who are addicted to games."
Ye Chengyang also accused them, "At least we can sleep until we naturally wake up, but you guys don't sleep and get up early to play games. You guys are addicted and don't even care about your eyes."
Ye Yaodong glanced back and said, "We're different from you. We don't have to go to school, so we don't have to worry about it affecting our studies."
"You're not worried about it affecting your studies, but I'm worried you'll get addicted to games and stop earning money!"
"Good lad, you're worried I won't make money? Worried about starving? I can make money with my eyes closed."
Ye Xiaoxi leaned closer to him and looked at him. "Dad, you haven't washed your face. There's still sleep on your eyes. You're disgusting. Mom too, you two didn't even wash your faces first thing in the morning. You probably didn't even brush your teeth. You were just playing games!"
The truth is out, my goodness.
The couple, both addicted to online games, did indeed start playing games without washing their faces or brushing their teeth.
Ye Yaodong picked at the sleep from his eyes. "Ahem, you guys go wash up first. You can play with us after you're done, then we'll go wash up."
"Tch~ How dare you say that about us."
Ye Chengyang: "The pot calling the kettle black."
