167: Chapter 167 For example, my friend

Hearing this, Li Siqi blushed slightly, but still spoke without reserve.

"I don't have any ideas. I can talk a big game when it comes to others, but when it's actually my own business, I can't say a word."

After speaking, she turned to see her Best Friend's look of disdain and couldn't help but cough twice.

"Cough! Cough!"

"Of course, regardless of whether Young Master Li comes or not, the daily fitness updates must be sent."

"And also..."

"And what else?"

Seeing her Best Friend remain silent for a long time, Song Keyi asked curiously.

Li Siqi replied somewhat awkwardly after hearing this.

"I don't know either."

Song Keyi was instantly speechless and immediately said with annoyance.

"If you didn't know, why did you think for so long? You're just wasting time."

"I'm thinking precisely because I don't know! Why would I think about it if I already knew?!" Li Siqi immediately retorted.

Seeing her Best Friend's punch-worthy attitude, Song Keyi couldn't hold back her frustration and gave her thigh a hard pinch.

"Ow, ow, ow..."

"Why are you pinching me? Are you sick?" Li Siqi rubbed her leg and cursed angrily.

"You're the one who's sick! You're useless at critical moments. I must have had eight lifetimes of bad luck to have a Best Friend like you."

Just as Li Siqi was about to retort, the driver in front spoke up first.

"Hey, you two beauties, could you keep it down a little? You're distracting me."

Seeing this, Song Keyi said apologetically.

"Sorry, driver! We're disturbing you."

The driver waved his hand without turning his head.

"It's fine, just keep it down a bit. After all, you are my passengers, and I'm responsible for your safety."

Li Siqi instantly became much more serious and stated clearly.

"Don't worry, driver! We'll just talk and won't make any more noise."

The driver nodded and didn't say anything else.

Only then did Li Siqi turn to look at her Best Friend, as her words from just a moment ago were still fresh in her mind.

She said fiercely.

"You'd better remember what you just said."

"Whatever, I'll remember it."

Song Keyi said, pretending to be indifferent.

"Once I've handled Young Master Li, I'll have a good talk with him."

Li Siqi's expression froze instantly.

"You're actually threatening me."

"I'm not threatening you! Did I mention your name in any of my sentences? And you claim I'm threatening you."

Li Siqi couldn't find a retort. After thinking for a moment, she said gloomily.

"Then what do you mean by 'having a talk' with Young Master Li?"

Seeing her Best Friend stumped, Song Keyi turned to look out the window, answering while suppressing a laugh.

"It doesn't mean anything. Can't I flirt with him?"

Seeing her Best Friend looking outside, Li Siqi remained uneasy, always feeling there was a hidden meaning in her words.

She grabbed her hand and said ingratiatingly.

"Darling, you wouldn't say bad things about me in front of Young Master Li, would you?"

"Why would I badmouth you?"

Song Keyi said, turning her head to glance at her.

"Maybe you and Young Master Li will hit it off first; that's not impossible!"

"Don't tease me, okay?"

Li Siqi pursed her lips.

"I have zero confidence in that. As long as Young Master Li isn't blind, he'll definitely choose you first."

"I don't believe men like women with inner beauty. I believe men are all attracted by looks."

"So you mean your inner self is more beautiful than mine!" Song Keyi said, feigning anger.

"I was just using an analogy."

"What is an 'analogy'?"

"An analogy isn't a 'thing'. I meant I was just giving an example."

"I know 'For Example'! 'For Example' is my friend. Why do you want to hit him? Why are you so rude..."

"Stop, stop, stop! Are you toxic? Is it fun to tease me?" Li Siqi didn't let her Best Friend continue spouting nonsense and immediately interrupted her.

If she still didn't realize her Best Friend was joking with her, she would have wasted all these years.

"You say I'm teasing you? What did you promise at the gym earlier? You were supposed to call me 'Big Sister' from now on. Is this how you talk to your Big Sister?" Song Keyi said with a straight face.

Li Siqi immediately retorted unwillingly.

"That was for after you succeeded. Right now, you haven't even made the first stroke of the character!"

"You argue with me every day. Forget the stroke, you don't even know where the character is!"

"Fine, fine, I'll listen to you. I won't say anything else, okay!"

Song Keyi rolled her eyes at her Best Friend.

"It's not about not saying anything, hurry up and think! Figure out the rest of what you hadn't thought of yet. What's the use of always lecturing me?"

"Of course, I'll help you think too. If we don't put in some effort, how are we going to win over Young Master Li?"

"Got it, oh my goodness, you are..."

"Buzz, buzz, buzz..."

"Let's stop talking for a second, my phone is ringing."

Before her Best Friend could finish, Song Keyi interrupted her, picked up her phone, and glanced at the contact. She instantly felt a headache.

Seeing her Best Friend's expression change, Li Siqi asked curiously in a hurry.

"Why aren't you answering? Who's calling?"

"You tell me, who else could it be?" Song Keyi stared at her, speechless.

"Don't tell me it's your mom again."

"Who else would it be?"

"Your mom is way too strict with you! Calling you several times a day." Li Siqi didn't know what else to say.

"There's nothing I can do! I'm her only daughter, what can I do?"

Song Keyi said, pointing at her phone.

"Alright, stay quiet for a moment. I'll answer it and see what she wants this time."

As soon as the call was connected, Song Keyi's mother's angry scolding came through.

"What are you doing? It took you this long to answer the phone!"

"Mom, what is it this time?"

"I went to your workplace today, and your manager said you took leave. What did you go do?"

"And what time is it now? You're still not home. Why is a young girl playing outside so late?"

Listening to her mother's barrage of questions, Song Keyi could only take it one step at a time.

"I didn't go to work because I had a stomach ache, so I took leave and went to the hospital."

"Do you take your mother for a fool? Your manager said you asked for leave last night. You've had a stomach ache since last night?"

"That's right! I had a stomach ache last night, so I went to the hospital early today!"

"If you don't believe me, ask my Best Friend. I had her take leave with me last night, and she's the one who accompanied me to the hospital this morning. She's right here beside me."

"Even if what you said is true, you should be coming home now, right? What time is it?"

"Mom, it's only seven o'clock, how is that late? I'm not a kid anymore, why do you always control me like this?"

"If I don't control you, you'll be acting like you own the place. Tell me, what time are you coming home?"

After seeing her Best Friend's gesture, Song Keyi quickly said.

"Ten o'clock! I'll be home on time at ten."
