Chapter 26 – 26 Coming to Steal the Master’s Techniques
On her way back home, Tong Ya drove very slowly.
There was always a smile on her face, and from time to time she hummed a few lines of a song.
Upon reaching the residential complex, she parked the car and her smile never ceased.
Uncontrollably, she started dancing in the underground garage.
Her arms were wrapped as if resting on someone’s shoulders.
With graceful motions, she spun around in the garage, as though there truly was someone facing her and dancing along.
“Ghost ah!”
A shrill scream suddenly erupted, snapping Tong Ya back to reality.
In the middle of the night, dancing a partner’s dance alone, and doing so convincingly, was bound to scare someone.
Tong Ya was frightened too, her heart still pounding as she hurriedly went upstairs.
When she ran into the room panting, Tang Xiaowei was still sitting on the sofa staring eagerly at the door.
“What are you doing? Sitting here every night without even turning on the light, you scared me to death!”
Tong Ya complained with a touch of resentment and then placed the fried pastries and vegetable turnovers she had brought back on the table.
Tang Xiaowei, who was extremely hungry, didn’t mind the greasiness on the bag and grabbed a turnover to gnaw on it.
“I was just waiting for you to bring me some food!”
No sooner had she spoken than Tang Xiaowei noticed Tong Ya’s unusually heavy panting.
Grunting so fiercely didn’t seem like the aftermath of just strenuous exercise.
An adult-only scenario quickly formed in Tang Xiaowei’s mind.
“Tong Ya! You didn’t actually get it done, did you? Completely conquered the kid’s father?”
Tong Ya naturally understood, “You just wish I’d fall into that trap! Eat your pastry!”
Tang Xiaowei pouted, “If I could eat something this delicious every day, I’d have laid back long ago and let someone have their way!”
Tong Ya rolled her eyes, “By the way, my male god has taken over a shop, and he might need staff after a while. Do you want to go?”
Tang Xiaowei put on an arrogant face, “Please, I wield a paintbrush! An artist! How can I stoop to waitressing?”
“You’ll have fried pastries and vegetable turnovers to eat every day! And maybe they’ll introduce new dishes after expanding the shop.”
Tang Xiaowei stiffened briefly before rising up righteously after a short internal struggle.
“Artists need to experience life too, right? Otherwise, where would inspiration come from?”
Tong Ya looked at her with contempt, “Then just wait for my notice!”
Tang Xiaowei stuffed a pastry into her mouth with a choke, “You really have a bit of a boss lady vibe!”
…
Before three o’clock, Chen Yu awoke from his sleep with a start.
He couldn’t tell if it was the unfamiliar bed in his new home or the sudden change in environment that made him uncomfortable.
Slapping his face to wake himself up, Chen Yu quietly washed up and went downstairs.
The main reason for renting this house was to provide Tuan Tuan with a peaceful place to sleep.
If he woke her up, all his efforts would have been in vain.
As soon as he got down to the dining cart, Chen Yu saw Tong Ya’s car parked by the road.
With a helpless sigh, he went over and knocked on the car window.
“Tell me, you’re not my employee, what’s the point of you rushing over so early every day?”
Tong Ya playfully got out of the car, “I’m here to repay my debt; just consider me your little long-term worker!”
Chen Yu raised an eyebrow, initially accepting the reason when Tong Ya first mentioned it.
But there had to be a limit to repaying a favor, and all he did was, after all, a small effort in driving Tong Ya to the hospital.
Over the past few days, Chen Yu suddenly realized that now this reason seemed to be one he was using to convince himself, allowing Tong Ya to stay by his side.
