"Then let’s each go to our own rooms, tidy up, and go to sleep."
Li Xiaoli stretched lazily. She had gotten up too early today and hadn’t napped, so she was really tired.
"I..."
Tang Ming was just about to speak when his phone rang: "Su Xiaoxi?"
"Hmm?"
Liu ngting and Xia Wei’er hurriedly leaned in.
"Could it be that he’s coming to the house to pay a New Year visit again?"
Liu ngting glanced at Li Wenxuan. If that were true, the house would be lively indeed.
"Interesting, really interesting."
Li Xiaoli smirked mischievously. If the Li Family and the Su Family clashed, that would be entertaining.
After answering the call, Tang Ming glanced at Li Wenxuan and leisurely said, "You’re looking for Tang Xin. Why are you calling my phone?"
"Huh?"
Su Xiaoxi made a surprised noise and imdiately understood there were others around Tang Ming. She quickly and tacitly said, "Tomorrow is the second of the New Year, and Tang Xin promised to accompany to the Su Family for a New Year visit. But now I can’t reach him. You’re his big brother, you must be able to find him. Am I wrong?"
"Ahem, he might be on a mission, so it’s inconvenient to contact him. I can’t help it either."
Tang Ming decisively refused upon hearing this.
"Heh, I don’t believe you can’t reach him. Anyway, he promised to do a hundred things for , and this counts as one of them. Tell him to contact as soon as possible." Su Xiaoxi gave a weird laugh and then hung up the phone.
Liu ngting and Li Xiaoli looked at Tang Ming with strange expressions, while Li Wenxuan suddenly realized that Tang Ming and Tang Xin were likely not the sa person, otherwise why would he need Tang Ming’s help to find Tang Xin?
"What are you looking at? Never seen a handso guy before?"
Tang Ming glared at Li Xiaoli and Liu ngting, opened WeChat, and began chatting with Su Xiaoxi.
Li Xiaoli and Liu ngting also sat back on the sofa, took out their phones, and entered the "ng ng Joint Rent" group, which had only the three of them.
"Weren’t you saying you were going to sleep?"
Li Wenxuan looked puzzledly at the three who were playing with their phones simultaneously.
"Suddenly don’t feel like sleeping, let’s play a few rounds of gas first, then take a shower and sleep." Li Xiaoli said cheerfully, "Li Teacher, you go take a shower first! We’ll keep an eye on Tang Ming Brother, to prevent him from peeping while you shower."
"Right, right, this guy is a lecher. We’ve strictly forbidden him from going to the third floor. Now that you’re staying on the sa floor with him, be sure to lock your door at night."
Liu ngting nodded repeatedly, reminding her enthusiastically.
"Him? Heh, just a pretty boy, nothing to be afraid of."
Li Wenxuan laughed creepily looking at Tang Ming.
"Damn, who are you calling a pretty boy?"
Tang Ming was instantly displeased upon hearing this.
"Who do you think I’m calling?" Li Wenxuan gave Tang Ming a weird look, then got up and went upstairs.
"Tang Ming Brother, how does even Li Teacher know you’re a pretty boy, eh?"
Li Xiaoli curiously looked at Tang Ming and asked.
"Don’t listen to her nonsense, I’m a real man."
Tang Ming protested discontentedly.
"Xiaoli, previously in the provincial city, Li Teacher and Tang Ming were in the sa private room, we all could guess about him and Wei’er. Li Teacher lives next door and definitely knows better than us."
Liu ngting analyzed earnestly.
"Right, right, before we just speculated, now with Li Teacher’s evidence, it must be true. Poor Tang Ming Brother."
Li Xiaoli looked at Tang Ming with a face full of sympathy.
Tang Ming’s mouth twitched, his forehead full of black lines; how did he, a perfectly good virgin, end up in such a situation?
"Alright, alright, let’s get down to business. Tang Ming Brother, you’re not allowed to agree to Su Xiaoxi’s request tomorrow, eh."
Li Xiaoli looked at Tang Ming seriously and ordered.
"Why?" Tang Ming pouted and asked discontentedly.
"Humph, did you forget you’re going to Wei’er’s house tomorrow?" Li Xiaoli raised her head and looked at Tang Ming disdainfully.
"Oh, right?"
Tang Ming suddenly realized and quickly sent a ssage to Su Xiaoxi to explain the situation.
"Then let’s do it on the third. Anyway, this ti my grandpa gave a strict order that no matter what, he has to bring you back. Otherwise, he’ll co invite you himself."
Su Xiaoxi quickly replied.
"Now that’s trouble." Tang Ming furrowed his brows in distress. After all, Old Master Su was a senior figure in a prominent family, so he couldn’t let him personally co to invite him.
Tang Ming took a screenshot of the ssage and sent it to the group for Li Xiaoli and Liu ngting to see. Both girls were also helpless. The Su Family wasn’t like the small families in Songlan City; it was one of the major powers in the Imperial City. Even if they didn’t want Tang Ming to go to the Imperial City, they couldn’t continue to prevent it.
"Sigh! Do as you see fit."
Liu ngting sighed, got up, and went upstairs.
"Visiting soone else’s house during the New Year, and even ng ng Sister is sad, eh."
Li Xiaoli gave Tang Ming a glare and trotted upstairs too.
"Hey, this is a matter for the third, it’s not part of the New Year, right?"
Tang Ming shouted in frustration, but unfortunately, the two girls didn’t pay any attention to him.
After agreeing with Su Xiaoxi, Tang Ming also went upstairs to find a room to sleep in.
In Liu ngting’s bedroom, Li Xiaoli lay on the bed staring at her phone, dejectedly saying, "Made a mistake, eh."
"What’s wrong?"
Liu ngting asked while drying her hair, perplexed, after finishing washing up.
"I only installed a cara in Tang Ming Brother’s room, but now he and Li Teacher didn’t stay in that room. Who am I supposed to watch, eh?"
Li Xiaoli showed the pitch-black surveillance footage to Liu ngting with frustration.
"Heh, so who were you planning to watch then?"
Liu ngting teased.
"I was going to see them engage in a wrestling match, and verify if Tang Ming Brother is really a pretty boy, eh."
Li Xiaoli answered earnestly.
"You shaless dirty old woman, thinking about watching such things, how shaless."
Liu ngting laughed and scolded, curiously asking, "What do you think Li Shusen is going to do with the things he stole? Surely it’s not to do anything with his wife, right?"
"Absolutely not. I suspect that old man still has a lecherous heart, planning to find a young woman. Because of his age, he was embarrassed to buy himself, so he stole it, eh."
Li Xiaoli analyzed earnestly.
"Right, right, that sounds quite possible."
Liu ngting nodded repeatedly, "Once Li Teacher leaves, we’ll go back and study it to find out."
"We have to study it well, find out what flavors the old man likes, eh!"
Li Xiaoli nodded enthusiastically.
The next morning, Tang Ming, Li Xiaoli, and Liu ngting, along with many New Year gifts, drove to Xia Wei’er’s house to pay a New Year visit.
Xia Wei’er’s family received Tang Ming and the others very warmly, especially Xia Wei’er’s parents, who treated Tang Ming like a son-in-law, making Xia Wei’er quite embarrassed.
The group happily had lunch at Xia Wei’er’s house, then the three girls went shopping together, with Tang Ming naturally serving as their bag carrier.
