Last night, I chatted with Brother Nan for quite a while. Unsurprisingly, the Old monster outside probably heard everything loud and clear.
In the end, Brother Nan still kissed Zhou Li.
This made Zhou Li feel very embarrassed. He seriously suspected that the Old monster's eyes had infrared imaging capabilities; a mere wall could not block its sight.
So, he felt very uneasy facing Huai Xu the next morning.
This even elicited laughter from the Old monster—
"Why be shy! What haven't I seen in all these years? I've seen people with far better skills than you..."
"Stop talking."
"I'm going to say it!!"
"...My mom is almost here!"
"Got it!"
Ms. Ji came over with Little Cousin. As they entered, the first thing they noticed was the sunlight streaming in through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The floor was so clean that it reflected light, and the furniture looked new. The décor, minimalistic and in light tones, created a clean and cozy atmosphere.
