"Uh? You bought a car?"
Liu Zixi caught on.
"Yeah, and I also bought a house."
Zhou Wang casually laid it out.
Liu Zixi said, "Holy shit!"
Ah Hui added, "Holy shit +1."
Yang Hao chimed in, "Holy shit +10086..."
Even Lao Ji, the old high school classmate who had been lurking in the group, popped up: "Wow, Brother Dog, now you own a car and a house in Ming City, impressive!"
Li Cheng remarked, "I can only say you guys are way behind. Brother Dog struck it big long ago; he even changed his name to 'Big Household Dog.' The last time I saw him was in his presidential suite..."
"???"
They all responded with question marks, and Yang Hao even used a "diagonal clueless" emoji.
"Is it 2024, or have I f***ing traveled ten years into the future?"
"Stop blabbering, are you flying in? When do you arrive? I'll pick you up @Liu Zixi."
Zhou Wang interrupted them.
"3:15 in the afternoon... Oh, by the way, is your car roomy enough? I'm bringing along two classmates."
"Should be fine."
