On the night of December 31, 2019,

A group chat named ‘East Coast Council’ lit up.

Ye-ge: Friends, it’s the last day of 2019. What are you all doing?

Outstanding Original Joy: On set. I’m miserable, shooting a major night scene tonight. (crying face1😭)

Ye-ge: Where’s Lion?

Lion Doesn’t Eat People: On set. Filming a long night shoot with him.

Ye-ge: Great, I shouldn’t have asked. Can the two of you stop stuffing dog food2public displays of affection into my face everywhere, all the time?

Lion Doesn’t Eat People: What, Chu Yu isn’t around?

Ye-ge: Mm. He’s in a meeting, hasn’t come back yet.

Lion Doesn’t Eat People: He might be out fooling around. Just go to sleep. Tomorrow isn’t only a new day—it’s a new year. Let what’s past stay in the past.

Ye-ge: [Kicking an egg img3] Get lost.

Cat Catching Mouse: Hahahahaha, I think so too. Someone who isn’t even with you on New Year’s really ought to be dumped. Xu Ye, I’ll introduce you to someone new.

Mouse Teasing Cat: There was a fitness coach the other day who was pretty good—great body. Why don’t you come over to our place now? We’re playing at the club.

Ye-ge: Not going. [kicks over your dog food img4]

The Log Has Become a Boat: Need a divorce lawyer?

Ye-ge: …Qin Mu, you’re joining in too.

The Log Has Become a Boat: Making money is important.

Ye-ge: [Old man on the subway looking at his phone img5]

Lion Doesn’t Eat People: [Ate my melon and forgot that guy img6]

Ye-ge: [You dare fight meme with me? you’re tired of living img7]

Cat Catching Mouse: [Lonely night, lonely you img8]

Ye-ge: [If you keep bullying me I’m going to cry img9]

Outstanding Original Joy: How long is his meeting supposed to last?

Ye-ge: Who knows. I’m pissed. I’ll kick him straight out later.

Yu: ?

Ye-ge: …

Lion Doesn’t Eat People: Hahaha.

Cat Catching Mouse: Hahaha.

Mouse Teasing Cat: Hahaha.

Outstanding Original Joy: [Brother, take care img10]

The Log Has Become a Boat: Xu Ye, domestic violence is illegal. Remember to gather evidence. I can make sure he leaves with nothing.

System message — Group owner Yu invited [Water Carries the Boat] to join the group chat.

Water Carries the Boat: Thanks.

Lion Doesn’t Eat People: Yo, who’s this?

Cat Catching Mouse: Judging by the name, someone we know.

Mouse Catching Cat: Exactly.

Water Carries the Boat: Be good, Log. Open the door. I’m outside—let gege come in.

Ye-ge: Puhahaha, here we go, the husband-chaser has arrived.

The Log Has Become a Boat: Get lost.

Water Carries the Boat: [crying img11]

Water Carries the Boat: [want a hug img12]

Water Carries the Boat: [if you ignore me I’ll pout img13]

Two minutes passed.

Mouse Teasing Cat: Happy New Year.

Cat Catching Mouse: Happy New Year.

Lion Doesn’t Eat People: Happy New Year.

Ye-ge: …If you’re that busy, don’t bother coming back today.

Yu: On the way.

Ye-ge: [I’m about to die so I’m out img14]

Ye-ge: Almost forgot—Happy New Year.

Qingcheng and all colleagues of East Coast wished everyone a happy 2020!

In the new year, he would try his best.

T/N:
Truth to be told for this chapter it took me a very long time because I was debating just to show the meme or let it be in words
But I thought it won’t be fun if there’s no meme, so I took some time to do it despite being a short and uneventful chapter lol
