93: Chapter 93 The Dancing Curtains

The girlfriend, new to these techniques, couldn't grasp the essentials at all.

Furthermore, she lacked Ling Rui's spirit of daring to try and push herself, so even until her chewing muscles grew sore, she still hadn't succeeded.

Watching his pitiful-looking girlfriend, Zhao Xiaoshuai tossed his phone aside and began to teach her in earnest.

With real-time feedback and guidance, Meng Yawen improved rapidly this time, and with Zhao Xiaoshuai deliberately going easy on her, she finally stumbled her way to completing the lesson.

After washing up again, it was already dinnertime, but since neither of them had eaten lightly at noon, they weren't particularly hungry and just ordered some takeout to make do.

After cuddling and watching TV for a while, Zhao Xiaoshuai checked the time, got up, and began to get dressed.

Seeing her boyfriend about to leave, Meng Yawen felt a mix of relief and disappointment. "Are you leaving? I'll see you off."

"I have something to take care of. Give me your car keys; I'll be staying here tonight."

The girlfriend clearly showed a happy smile as she got up to fetch the keys.

This nightgown had been personally chosen by Zhao Xiaoshuai; it didn't have many special features, yet that in itself was the feature.

Watching his girlfriend trot back and forth, swaying, he couldn't help but pull her into his arms and dote on her once more when he took the keys.

Leaving Meng Yawen's new home, Zhao Xiaoshuai headed toward his Sister-in-law's place.

Under normal circumstances, his Sister-in-law should have been at home in Datun keeping her father company for the New Year. He didn't know why she had unexpectedly appeared at his alma mater, which made him worry that something might have happened.

Because it was too late yesterday, it would have been inappropriate for an older man like him to visit her home, so he had only sent a text message to check if she was safe.

Today, he made time to go check on her.

After ringing the doorbell a few times, he found that his Sister-in-law was not home, so he gave her a direct call.

...

...

At this moment, Chu Xinyi was near Xu Yuyan's home.

Recently, Xu Yuyan had been busy dealing with the scumbag Lei from that Foundation.

The day before the New Year, Lei had been detained for investigation, and since then, she had gone multiple times to provide more detailed evidence.

That Foundation was given an administrative penalty of three months of suspended activities for rectification, while Lei was under comprehensive investigation for suspected occupational crimes.

However, it wouldn't be a matter of just two or three months before the dust truly settled. She didn't know if this task counted as completed, so she hadn't dared to report it to Zhao Xiaoshuai yet.

Today, just as she was about to go home, she suddenly encountered a strange little girl who was lost.

"Excuse me, Big Sister, could you tell me how to get to Aihua Dental? I think I'm a little lost."

The little girl had a very strange hairstyle; her bangs were too long and covered her eyes, making her worry that the girl might bump into something while walking.

"That place is a bit hard to find. Let me take you there."

If Zhao Xiaoshuai wanted to find her, he would call in advance, so since Xu Yuyan had nothing else to do, she enthusiastically led the little girl through the streets and alleys.

"Big Sister, do you live here all by yourself?"

Chu Xinyi continued to employ her superb interrogation skills. Although Xu Yuyan was clearly shrewder than that simple college student Meng Yawen, she still managed to extract quite a bit of information.

'She's not a bad person, but clearly much shrewder. I'll have to see about her later.'

Just then, Chu Xinyi's phone suddenly rang. She knew who it was without even looking at the ringtone.

"Ah, Big Sister, I'm sorry. My family is looking for me, so I have to go first. Thank you for today!"

Watching the little girl vanish in a flash, Xu Yuyan blinked in confusion. "What a strange little girl."

"Hello, Brother-in-law."

"Xinyi, are you at home?"

Chu Xinyi was just about to make up an excuse that she was at home, but suddenly thought, 'How does Brother-in-law know I'm back?' She hurriedly switched to a self-developed app on her phone with a puppy icon and opened the map.

The icon representing Meng Yawen's panamera was parked right downstairs at her home.

The icon for the Corolla that Zhao Xiaoshuai had previously borrowed was there too, along with many other strange icons.

"Hello, Xinyi, why aren't you saying anything?"

"Ah, Brother-in-law, the signal was bad just now. I'm outside hanging out with a classmate. How did you know I came back early?"

"You have such close classmates? Go have fun. We'll talk when I go over to your place another day. Remember to go home early; the roads aren't easy to walk on at night, and it's easy to trip."

"Mm, I know. Bye, Brother-in-law!"

Patting her chest, Chu Xinyi frowned slightly. "Sister Wenwen promised me she wouldn't tell, so she shouldn't have. And why is this idiot Brother-in-law pulling a surprise attack? He always used to give me a heads-up before coming to my place."

"I'll have to be more careful from now on. If he finds out I'm investigating these women of his, my little butt is definitely going to get spanked!"

The Chu family home was not close to the city, and transportation was inconvenient. Over the years, the person who had taken on the role of father, or rather, brother, had always been Zhao Xiaoshuai.

Although Chu Xinyi was sufficiently intelligent and "well-behaved," she hadn't been that intelligent and "well-behaved" from birth.

When she was in middle school, she had taken apart the computers in her classroom and was caught by a patrolling teacher before she could put them back together.

Zhao Xiaoshuai was called in as her guardian and gave her a sound spanking afterward.

Perhaps when Zhao Xiaoshuai had spanked Ling Rui, he was so smooth and practiced because he had developed the skill back then.

But it was also because of that incident that Zhao Xiaoshuai began planning to buy her a computer, and she received that gift when she started high school.

Chu Xinyi waited until the icon representing the panamera had moved far away before she dared to go home.

"Why is he driving Sister Wenwen's car? Looking at the route, he's heading back to Sister Wenwen's house. Could this idiot Brother-in-law be staying the night?"

"How are they progressing so fast!"

Feeling inexplicably unhappy, Chu Xinyi returned home, turned on her computer, and examined her next target.

"Guan Xiaosu, frequently appears in..."

...

...

Having made a wasted trip, Zhao Xiaoshuai thought that he probably wouldn't be able to take things further tonight, but his little brother was still holding back a lot of energy, so he made a call to Xu Yuyan:

"Are you home?"

"I just got home. Are you coming over?"

"Mm, put on that one I like the most."

"Received~"

Not long after, the curtains at Xu Yuyan's home began to dance.

The distance between the buildings in her residential complex wasn't very far. At this moment, in a room across from hers, a chubby boy spoke sneakily to his little friend:

"Look, I wasn't lying, right? I told you the curtains across from my place could dance, but you didn't believe me!"

"I've been to your place quite a few times and never saw it. Let me see if it's real. Wow, it really is dancing."

"Look, it's dancing faster and faster."

"Why does it look like there's someone behind the curtains?"

"Mommy, that's not a person; it looks like it has two heads and four hands!"

"What do we do? Let's go tell your mom to call the police."

"I already told my mom, but she told me to mind my own business and stop staring at other people's homes all the time."

"Your mom doesn't understand at all. One day, a monster will run out and eat your whole family first. I'm going home!"

"Hey, don't go! I'm scared being home alone, and my mom won't be back for another half hour. Hey, wait up, I'm coming to your place to hide."

Unaware of being spied on by two children, the curtains at Xu Yuyan's home stopped dancing.

It wasn't over; they had just switched to a different map.
