Chapter 170: Chapter 170: Washing the Sheets

Tang Chuxia gestured for Gu Beihuai to continue talking.

"He isn’t a resident of our courtyard, but he lives in the residential area next to ours, and he’s from your hometown too!"

Gu Beihuai’s words reminded Tang Chuxia of that uncle who had suddenly appeared.

"What did you find out?"

Tang Chuxia stared at Gu Beihuai, her eyes brimming with anticipation.

"There indeed was a piece missing from his clothes, whether it’s bamboo as you mentioned, that remains unknown!"

Gu Beihuai sat on Tang Chuxia’s bed, leaning against the headboard and said casually, "So, you’re trying to pursue me?"

Tang Chuxia: ... Huh???

She hadn’t even moved on from the previous topic when she heard Gu Beihuai’s question and instinctively nodded, "Yes!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Beihuai jumped up, "Are you sick or something?"

"How am I sick? We’ve kissed, we’ve bitten, and even slept in the same blanket; don’t you know my feelings yet?"

Tang Chuxia said lightly, squinting her eyes, which made Gu Beihuai’s face turn red.

He pointed at Tang Chuxia, "Don’t talk nonsense!"

Tang Chuxia grabbed his arm, pulled him closer with a bit of strength, and then rested her head on Gu Beihuai’s shoulder.

"Can’t you feel whether I’m talking nonsense?"

Her tone was grievous, and Gu Beihuai didn’t dare to move.

"Look, we’ve been at odds since we were kids, you and I are..."

Gu Beihuai hadn’t finished speaking when Tang Chuxia lifted her head and kissed his cheek, "You sneaked into my room at night, were you not trying to initiate something unspeakable? Let’s get straight to the point!"

Gu Beihuai: ...

He ran away!

Even as he climbed out of the window, he fell to the ground, causing Tang Jianjun and Tang Jianbing to rush out to catch the thief.

Tang Chuxia laughed so hard she could barely stand.

She really hadn’t expected Gu Beihuai to have the guts to ask but not the guts to actually do anything.

She suddenly wondered, if one day she really did sleep with this man, would he cry?

Just the thought of that scene excited her!

However, she knew that Gu Beihuai still harbored reservations about her, thanks to a strong childhood shadow.

Soon she lost interest in thinking about it any further, yawned, and continued sleeping.

She slept soundly, but poor Gu Beihuai who had run away was miserable, unable to sleep back at his home.

His mind was filled with Tang Chuxia’s enticing voice.

He pounded the wall.

Unable to comprehend, how he, a man, had been completely captured by Tang Chuxia.

The night naturally wound around dreams filled with the rites of spring, naturally leading to him getting up early the next morning to wash the sheets.

These were unspeakable matters, and Gu Beihuai wouldn’t speak of them.

But the next day, Qin Zhan came looking for him, suggesting they visit Tang Chuxia together.

"I bought her a sketchbook, she won’t think I’m being stingy, right?" Qin Zhan held a notebook, somewhat anxious.

After all, she had saved his mother’s life, and all he had brought was a sketchbook, which seemed somewhat shabby.

Gu Beihuai responded absentmindedly with a hum.

Qin Zhan grew more anxious, "Right? Even you think it’s too rude, come on, let’s go to the convenience store and buy something else!"

As the two of them just reached the convenience store in the alley, they saw Wu Haipeng with his dark panda eyes.

The three exchanged glances, then entered the convenience store together.

Bought some pastries and candies, the three of them headed towards the Tang family’s house.

"Are you guys my brothers or not?" Wu Haipeng suddenly stopped and asked very seriously.

Qin Zhan and Gu Beihuai exchanged glances, both noticing something off with Wu Haipeng.

"Spit it out!" Qin Zhan spoke first, and Wu Haipeng rubbed his face, "I want to get married, do you think I’ve gone mad?"

Gu Beihuai let out a cold laugh, followed by Qin Zhan’s laugh, and both walked away.

Was this guy showing off?

Wu Haipeng caught up with them: "What kind of reaction is that? I’m serious here, I actually want to get married! Am I really ill?"

Qin Zhan knocked off his hand from his shoulder, "Big during New Year’s, if you’re sick, go to the hospital, or go see Aunt Hong, guaranteed to work!"

Gu Beihuai also nodded, "If you want to show off, just say so, what’s with this pretense?"

"Heh heh, you brothers know me well, this is why I wanted your advice on how to bring a wife home before New Year’s."

Wu Haipeng persisted, but the two ahead didn’t respond and quickly walked towards the Tang family’s house.

They entered the courtyard without getting any answer.

Wu Haipeng looked at them remorsefully, "Sure enough, I shouldn’t have asked bachelors, you guys just don’t understand my feelings!"

If they weren’t at the Tang family’s, Wu Haipeng might have gotten beaten into a pig’s head by now.

Tang Chuxia was discussing with Tang Jianjun how to make a small profit before New Year’s when she heard Qin Zhan and the others arrive, so she had to pause.

She looked towards Gu Beihuai standing at the back, her smile spreading across her cheeks.

"Brother Zhan, I really love it! Thank you!"

Tang Chuxia took the sketchbook, not a hint of dislike, and immediately started doodling with a pencil.

Tang Jianjun welcomed them, making conversation.

When the three of them said goodbye and left, Tang Chuxia handed each one a simple sketch.

Qin Zhan looked at his own sketch and grinned like a fool.

It depicted him and his mother talking in the hospital room; although simple, it was the first time he and his mother were together in a picture.

Wu Haipeng received a sketch of Dangdang’s smiling face, and naturally, he was extremely happy.

Only Gu Beihuai, after receiving his drawing, crumpled his face into a frown.

He gave Tang Chuxia a strange look.

But Tang Chuxia wasn’t afraid, she even blinked at him.

Wu Haipeng and Qin Zhan stretched their necks to see the picture in Gu Beihuai’s hand, but Gu Beihuai quickly folded it and stuffed it into his pocket.

Only Tang Chuxia grinned like a cunning little fox.

After all, she had drawn her and him!

Gu Beihuai ended up being chased out by the two brothers, and he never shared the picture.

For he saw the same scenario in his dreams.

Tang Jianjun puzzled, "What did you draw?"

Tang Chuxia shook her head, "Never mind that, I think the most profitable thing by year-end is what everyone likes, besides New Year paintings and calendars, fruit and pastries are most popular. I know a recipe, why don’t we sell sunflower seeds?"

She felt like eating sunflower seeds.

Tang Jianjun obviously saw through her motive and agreed, as sunflower seeds were their most important oil pressing product, and they still had plenty.

After settling this matter, Tang Jianjun seriously discussed something with Tang Chuxia.

It was his first time making such a serious request of Tang Chuxia.

"Brother’s begging you this one time, it’s about your brother’s future!"

After Tang Jianjun finished talking, Tang Chuxia simply responded with an "Oh," then lowered her head to write and draw. Tang Jianjun kept rambling, but when he noticed Tang Chuxia’s silence and decided to check what she was doing, he saw his little sister had already drawn it out.

"Little sis, why don’t you join the military with me?"
