The corridor was silent for a moment before Liu Zilang came back to his senses. He scratched his butt and smiled.
"What a coincidence. You're going down too?"
Zhang Xiaotong tried her best to regain her composure. She looked at Liu Zilang with blinking eyes. She recalled the phone call she had just received and instantly understood what was going on.
Suddenly, an idea popped up in her mind. She deliberately turned her head away from Liu Zilang. "That … I just remembered that I haven't taken anything. You can go down first."
As she said that, she waved at Liu Zilang awkwardly.
Liu Zilang was startled when he heard Zhang Xiaotong's shy voice. However, he immediately understood what she meant.
His face darkened.'D * mn it. She wants me to go down and "take the damage" first. '
'Tsundere monsters are indeed two-faced monsters!'
Liu Zilang cursed in his heart. However, he put on an elegant and easygoing smile on his face. He said softly, "It's alright. Go ahead and take it. I'll wait for you."
Zhang Xiaotong was speechless.
Seeing that Liu Zilang did not fall for her trick, she could only sigh and give up.
.....
In the hotel lobby, Su Changming was passionately entertaining a middle-aged man and a woman.
Li Muqiu who was not far away looked at the man who was dressed in an elegant suit. His hair was neatly slicked back and he was dressed in a British style. He looked like a "yuppie". He could not help but nudge Gao Yunyang who was next to him with his elbow. "Is this Lang's dad?"
"Mmm." Gao Yunyang nodded. He turned around and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Li Muqiu sighed. "Tsk tsk. No wonder he's so unrestrained."
Gao Yunyang was speechless.
At that moment, Su Changming suddenly waved at Li Muqiu. "Lil Qiu, get aunty a cup of cappuccino."
"Don't bother. We're just here to see Ah Lang and Xiaotong. We'll leave in a while."
Zhang Jingyi said softly.
"It's no trouble, no trouble."
Su Changming quickly waved his hand and said to Li Muqiu, "Hurry up Lil Qiu. What are you waiting for?"
Li Muqiu's eyes twitched. He could not help but wonder how he became a waiter.
"Wait." At that moment, the old man who had not spoken since he entered suddenly spoke.
"It's no trouble at all, Uncle. It's really no trouble at all." Su Changming smiled sincerely.
On the other hand, Liu Yigang nodded at Li Muqiu reservedly and said slowly, "Erm … Head Crooked, get me another pot of Longjing tea."
Su Changming: …
Li Muqiu: …
At this moment, with a "ding" sound, the elevator not far away reached the first floor, and the door suddenly opened.
In a split second, everyone in the hall looked over.
But then..,
Three seconds passed …
Five seconds passed …
However, no one came out of the elevator for a long time. It looked like a ghost elevator.
Where is he?
They were puzzled.
When the elevator door was about to close again, Liu Yigang narrowed his eyes and softly said three words.
"Come out."
"Hey!
You're here! "A sneaky voice came from the elevator.
Then, Liu Zilang walked out with a smile on his face.
"Ah Lang, we've been watching the competition for the past two days. You did great!"
When Zhang Jingyi saw the smile on Liu Zilang's face, she was a little confused. "Oh right, where's Xiaotong? I just called her to tell her that we're coming. Didn't she come down with you?"
"Tell me!
Where did your sister go? "
Liu Yigang snorted coldly. "It's fine that you came out alone, but why did you bring Xiaotong-chan out too? If she doesn't do well in her Senior High School Entrance Examination, I'll teach you a lesson."
When Liu Zilang heard that, his face turned black. 'Why would you teach me a lesson if she didn't do well in her Senior High School Entrance Examination?'
Zhang Xiaotong also heard the conversation outside. She knew that she could not hide it anymore. She pinched the corner of her shirt and walked out with her head down.
When she looked up and saw Zhang Jingyi and Liu Yigang, she mumbled, "Mom … Dad, you're here too."
"Hey, look, our Xiaotong is here."
Liu Yigang's face immediately returned to his elegant and easygoing smile. He was no longer as irritable as he was with Liu Zilang earlier. "How is it?
Are you used to living here?
Tell me if there's anything. "
On the other hand, Zhang Jingyi who was at the side complained with concern, "Child, you didn't even tell your parents that you're coming out."
"I … I left a note at home." Zhang Xiaotong said softly.
"Note?"
Zhang Jingyi was startled. She turned to look at Liu Yigang. "Old Liu, did you see the note when we went home a few days ago?"
"What note?" Liu Yigang was puzzled. "Where did you put it?"
Zhang Xiaotong blushed and said in a muffled voice, "I put the note in my shoe."
"Shoe?
Where's the shoe? "
"The shoe … In the shoe box at the door."
"Where's the shoe box?"
"In the shoe cabinet … In the shoe cabinet."
“.....”
Hearing Zhang Xiaotong's words, not only were the others speechless, even Liu Zilang's eyes twitched. He could not help but curse in his heart, 'You left this note too discreetly. You're born in the revolutionary era, you're a proper intelligence specialist!'
He knew that this little girl did not want her father and aunt to know that she came out to play. That was why she deliberately hid it so well. If she really wanted to tell them, why would she need to leave a note?
Although that was what he said, Liu Zilang still coughed and covered for her. "Actually … That … Xiaotong came out with me to study. She even came with a backpack."
'That's right. It's a pity that the small backpack is filled with snacks.'
Liu Zilang secretly said in his heart.
"Study?" Liu Yigang and Zhang Jingyi were startled.
"Yes, yes. It's so boring to stay at home all the time. A change of environment is better for studying."
"Oh, so that's the reason." Zhang Jingyi nodded slightly.
Liu Zilang shook his head. "Of course. Learning efficiency is the most important thing now. It's not like staying at home and memorizing."
Hearing Liu Zilang's serious words, Liu Yigang laughed coldly. His laughter made Liu Zilang's heart tremble.
No one knows a son better than a father.
He was very familiar with Liu Zilang's behavior. It was just like when Liu Zilang was in middle school. He would carry his exercise book and say that he was going to his classmate's house to interact and learn. However, Liu Yigang always managed to sneak him out of the internet cafe …
However, at this time, Liu Yigang did not expose him. He only gave Liu Zilang a look that said, "I'll deal with you when we get back."
Suddenly, he turned his head and looked at Li Muqiu who was dumbfounded not far away. "Head Crooked, where's my Longjing?"
Li Muqiu was secretly enjoying the show. When he was suddenly asked this question, he quickly nodded and answered, "Okay, I'll be right there. I'll be right there!"
"Don't order the kid around. He's Ah Lang's teammate."
At this time, Zhang Jingyi who was at the side patted Liu Yigang reproachfully. Then, she smiled gently at Li Muqiu.
"Don't listen to your uncle. He and I will leave later. I see that you guys have a competition tomorrow, so I won't disturb your training."
"Ah … You guys are leaving so soon?"
When Liu Zilang heard that, he was immediately overjoyed. However, he pretended to be reluctant and quickly went up to persuade them to stay.
"About that … Let's have a meal together."
