In the afternoon, Tang Xiu, Hu Qingsong, as well as Yue Kai and Zhao Liang, who had just returned and was radiant with happiness, came to the classroom together. The afternoon class was a foreign language class taught by their class-in-charge teacher, Han Qingwu, so no one was absent or late.
_Clip-clop…_
The clattering sounds of high heels stepping on the floor came from the corridor. Han Qingwu, donned in a casual yet fashionable outfit, waltzed inside carrying a few books. She immediately caught the attention of everyone in the classroom.
“Great! No one’s missing!”
Han Qingwu put the books on the table on the podium as her eyes slowly swept the students below. Her eyes stayed on Tang Xiu for a second or two before she spoke in satisfaction.
Nonetheless, her remark made the eyes of students in the classroom to gather on Tang Xiu, while strange smiling expressions appeared on their faces.
Tang Xiu could only sigh inwardly as he squeezed out a smile and said, “You’re so beautifully dressed today, Teacher Han. I didn’t report it in time this morning due to some special reasons, so I hope you can forgive me. This situation will not occur again in the future.”
“Oh…” Han Qingwu’s mouth outlined, as she nodded and said, “Admitting your mistakes and changing yourself is what’s most important. I’m not someone who hold grudges. After the class is over, you are to stay to clean up the classroom, and the issue of you skipping class in the morning will be bygones.”
“All right!”
Tang Xiu promised, yet muttered to himself inwardly, _It’s true that women and villains are really difficult to face_.
During the class, it was obvious that Han Qingwu was in a very good mood, and the students also responded enthusiastically. As the class ended, Han Qingwu still shot a glance at Tang Xiu when she was collecting her belongings before she turned around to leave.
Hu Qingsong, sitting next to Tang Xiu, touched Tang Xiu’s elbow and said with a faint smile, “Big Bro Tang, Teacher Han really looks after you, you know. Another student skipping classes without excuse will definitely have their credits deducted, but she only punished you to do the cleaning while you still retain your credits. It seems that she really has a crush on you and is afraid that you won’t get your diploma.”
From the other side, Yue Kai flung the hair on his forehead and then grinned, “Yup, that’s spot on! I also have a hunch that Teacher Han really has fallen in love with Tang Xiu. Say, Eldest Bro Tang, though you already have a lot of women and several of them are even a bit better than Teacher Han, yet our Teacher Han is indeed a great beauty herself! If you’re still a man, you might as well accept and get her together with them!”
“Are the two of you stud horses or something?” Asked Tang Xiu in rebuke.
“What the fuck…”
Hu Qingsong and Yue Kai looked at each other in dismay, and simultaneously raised their middle fingers at Tang Xiu.
Tang Xiu faintly smiled, “Anyways, I’m not going to stay in the dorm tonight. I just cleaned up the dust on my bunk, so I’m heading to Bluestar Villa to wash its bedding at my place. I’m going to start staying in the dorm tomorrow.”
“Eldest Bro Tang, can I talk to you for a bit? Can you lend me the key to your villa?” Yue Kai said with a thick face. “If things go well tonight, I’ll take a girlfriend of mine out later, so I don’t need to waste money to rent a room at the hotel.”
“Get lost!” Tang Xiu rolled his eyes at him and straightly refused his unreasonable request.
Yue Kai, however, wasn’t angry and stroked his chin to ponder instead, thinking how he could convince Tang Xiu to lease his place for his one-night stand.
At five in the afternoon, Tang Xiu took Yue Kai’s BMW and drove to Bluestar Villa Complex. After throwing the bedding into the washing machine, he told the housemaid, Auntie Zhang, to help him wash it before he went to his study room on the second floor.
After releasing the fierce beast from the array, Tang Xiu took out a lump of meat from his interspatial ring and threw the meat to it. Following that, he returned to the desk. His journey to Beijing resulted in a good harvest. Except for the Nine Phoenix Hairpin, the other four seemed to have its own secrets as well, and he hadn’t figured them out completely. Hence, he decided to allocate some time to analyze these objects properly, hoping that they would have something that could help him.
Having finished with the dinner, Tang Xiu took one of the books he borrowed from the campus library and sat in a chair outside in the courtyard. As Auntie Zhang served him scented hot tea, Tang Xiu kept reading while sipping tea.
However, a short moment after, he heard the sound of something being smashed from the villa next to his.
“Auntie Zhang, is there someone inside the villa next to us?” Tang Xiu turned to look at Auntie Zhang, who was currently sweeping the garden.
“Yeah, I heard someone picking up and smashing things in there when I went to buy groceries this morning,” Zhang Xinlan nodded. “After I bought the groceries, I found a young man standing on the villa’s rooftop, watching the surroundings. Also, I’ve heard the sounds of several things picked up and smashed from the villa next door today.”
A hint of a smile appeared on Tang Xiu’s mouth. He then got up and put the book on the chair inside the room, and then said with a smile, “Auntie Zhao, I’m going out to see it.”
Having said that, he walked out of the courtyard and headed to the Villa #11. After looking at the tight shut door in front, he then rang the villa’s bell.
“Who are you?”
As the iron gate slowly opened, Yang Le, looking upset and edgy, stared at Tang Xiu as he raised his chin and asked.
“I’m the owner of the villa #9, your neighbor,” answered Tang Xiu with a smile, while pointing at the villa next door.
Yang Le was stunned and immediately questioned, “And so, do you need something from me?”
“Yeah, there’s a trivial thing,” said Tang Xiu with a smile.
