Chapter 133.1: Spring Festival Couplets Whose Attractiveness Indexes were in Defiance of the Natural Order (1/2)
“Hey, hey, don’t leave!” Su Yi hastily picked up the stuff on the ground and rushed after Tang Doudou to block her way.
“Ahem. I was just joking with you a little. We’ll go in right away, right away.”
Perhaps Su Yi saw that Tang Doudou’s expression was still skeptical because he shoved the things into Tang Doudou’s arms, tidied up his clothing, then said, “Let’s go.”
Tang Doudou sighed. Whatever, let’s just see what else he could possibly stir up!
The results were beyond her expectations. When Su Yi told the guard standing at the entrance his name, the guard looked at him in pleasant surprise and asked, “You’re Su gongzi?”
“Yes.” Su Yi took out a circular jade pendant from his chest and passed it to the guard.
The moment the guard saw it, he became even more excited. “It really is Su gongzi! Our City Lord has been waiting for you for a long time, please come in!”
After Su Yi handed all the things Tang Doudou was carrying to another guard, he strutted into the City Lord Residence. Despite being in complete shock, Tang Doudou didn’t forget to follow him. She asked Su Yi in a whisper, “How did he know that you were coming?”
“Do you think that the guards at the entrance of the city are just there for decoration?” asked Su Yi with a tone of disdain.
“Hasn’t it been more than twenty years since you’ve last come? There’s no way those guards are over twenty years old. How come they recognize you?” asked Tang Doudou with equal disdain. She could finally see it clearly. Su Yi was a bad apple too, he was always making stuff up.
Su Yi gave a humph without replying to her. There was no way he could tell her that there were enough portraits of him in all the large cities that they could pile up into a mountain, right?
Tang Doudou took this silence to mean that he couldn’t think of anything to say in refutation and felt smug at having exposed his lie. As she walked, she also took the opportunity to observe the layout of the City Lord Residence.
As she looked, she started sighing again. She had visited quite a few places since coming here, and she has still yet to see a place that looked worse than the Alliance Head Residence. Look at other people’s City Lord Residence, it practically flings the Alliance Head Residence eighteen streets away.
“Stop gawking. No matter how much you stare this still belongs to someone else. If you’re envious ah, then you should work hard and swindle Baili Yu out of all his family property and bring it back to the Alliance Head Residence. At that time, you can make things as luxurious as you want!” Su Yi could see envy overflowing her eyes, how could he not guess what she was thinking?
His words were simply for the purpose of teasing her, but unexpectedly she started considering them seriously. “En, I feel like out of everything you’ve ever said, these words make the most sense!”
“I was just joking, you’re actually taking it seriously?”
“Of course I have to take such a good idea seriously. Are you ill or something? You probably forgot to take your medicine before you headed out, didn’t you? Where do all these useless words come from?”
“You stinkin’… brat!”
Forget it. It wasn’t worth it to lower himself to a kid’s level.
When the guard who was leading them heard this exchange, he was also extremely speechless. Wasn’t the person they were talking about swindling, Baili Yu, also currently in the City Lord Residence?
Weren’t they scared of others overhearing them with the way they’re talking so loudly?
City Lord ah, City Lord. What kind of friends do you have?
“Ahem. Su gongzi, the City Lord is waiting for you in this garden.”
Su Yi thanked the guard, then pulled Tang Doudou who was still jabbering on and on into the garden. He walked the path with ease and familiarity.
