When Li Weisi got up, the rest of the family was still resting.

The New Year's party last night was very lively. Antoine, Teresa and even Candice invited many of their friends to the party, and many of them wanted to take photos with Li Weisi.

There is no way, as Li Weisi's reputation grows day by day, such encounters will only increase. Even though Li Weisi was well prepared, he was also frightened by everyone's enthusiasm.

In the end, Li Weisi could only put on a stinky face, like a puppet, signing autographs and taking photos with the guests one by one to commemorate a set of procedures, and that was the end.

By the time he went to sleep, the party downstairs was still going on.

As for when the party ended, Li Weisi didn't know. Anyway, when he got up and went downstairs, wine bottles, dinner plates, ribbons and other garbage were thrown everywhere, making Li Weisi unable to stop.

"Oh, you're up? West?" When Li Weisi struggled to take out a few eggs from the refrigerator and put them in the pot to cook, Teresa rubbed her blurred eyes and came down the stairs.

"Mom, what time did you finish last night? Isn't the house too messy?" Li Weisi frowned and looked at the mess around him in disgust.

"About two or three o'clock, I don't know the specifics, I will call the cleaning company to clean up the things at home today!" Teresa yawned, poured herself a glass of water, and then took it out of the refrigerator Throw two ice cubes into the water glass, please note that it is winter!

"Oh? It's snowing!" Teresa, who had just drank her saliva, suddenly saw snowflakes floating outside the window, and said with emotion, "Happy New Year! West!"

"Happy New Year, Mom!" Li Weisi curled his lips, took out his boiled eggs and put them on a plate, but seeing that the table was also messed up, Li Weisi didn't even have a place to put the plate, so he had to take it back to the kitchen.

While peeling the eggshell, he said: "If every day is like last night, my New Year will not be happy."

"Hahaha..." Teresa laughed when she heard Li Weisi's childish words, "Okay, it won't be like this every day, I know you don't like parties, but this is life, you have to try to accept it all ! You're an adult, you can't keep running away."

"I'm not escaping, I'm just avoiding wasting my precious time on meaningless social interactions." After speaking, Li Weisi swallowed an egg in two bites.

Seeing Li Weisi's actions, Teresa wanted to reach out for an egg, but Li Weisi held it in her arms, and finally swallowed the egg in her mouth, and said, "No, Mom, I counted these eggs in advance. , you can’t take it away! Otherwise, it will lead to my insufficient protein intake in the morning!”

Hearing Li Weisi's words, Teresa withdrew her hand and said helplessly, "Oh, forget it! If you don't give it, I won't give it. I'll go back to sleep. I don't know how you can find a girlfriend like you." .”

However, when Teresa left the kitchen to go upstairs, suddenly the doorbell rang at home.

Strange, who will come so early?
