Chapter 194: New beautiful neighbours
Time flew by, and before they knew it, it was already 9:30 in the evening. Inside the rental house, Chu Tian looked at Bai Xiaochun, Li Niannian, and Xia Mo, all of whom were sitting on the sofa with flushed faces, unable to help but laugh. They had certainly indulged in a lot of drinks tonight.
Chu Tian had brought two boxes of red wine from the bar, each containing six bottles, totaling twelve bottles. All five of them had indulged in the drinks. Although Xia Mo had a good tolerance for alcohol, even she couldnât withstand the effects of the night. Her eyes were blurred.
Bai Xiaochun and Li Niannian had fallen asleep on the sofa more than ten minutes ago. Only Chu Tian and Li Sisi remained awake. Despite having consumed the most alcohol, they were still fine.
Li Sisi finished cleaning up the pots and bowls in the kitchen and came out. She looked at Xia Mo, who was blushing and had blurred vision, and smiled. âXia Mo, donât leave tonight. Stay here and sleep.â
âNo, I⦠I have to go back,â Xia Mo replied, leaning on the sofa and shaking her head with blurred eyes.
âWhy do you want to go back?â Li Sisi asked. âYouâre drunk. Donât go back. We have a big bed here. Why canât you sleep here? Donât go.â
âNo,â Xia Mo shook her head and said, âI have to go home, take a bath, and change my underwear. I must go back.â
âItâs different here,â Li Sisi insisted. âWe have spare underwear here, several sets, and theyâre all new. You donât have to wear what you have. Iâll get you a set later.â
âNo,â Xia Mo said, slowly standing up. âI⦠I will go back now.â
Before Xia Mo could take a step, she stumbled and fell to the ground. But before she hit the floor, Chu Tian quickly caught her and gently laid her on the sofa.
Chu Tian smiled and said, âCome on, Sister Xia, donât wander around. Rest here. Iâll take you back later.â
âItâs okay. Iâm fine,â Xia Mo shook her head and insisted, âIâm awake now.â
âAll right,â Chu Tian smiled. âDonât worry, even if you were to fall down the stairs like that, you wouldnât wake up. Just stay seated, Iâll take care of you later.â
âOkay, fine,â Xia Mo mumbled in her intoxicated state. âI feel a bit unsteady, but please be more restrained when you take me home. Donât touch me inappropriately. Just⦠donât take advantage of me.â
Hearing Xia Moâs words, Li Sisi chuckled and said, âDonât worry, Iâll accompany Chu Tian to take you home, okay?â
âYes,â Xia Mo agreed. âYou should come along. Chu Tian will behave better with you around. Otherwise, he might make a move on me.â
Chu Tian smiled helplessly and said, âFine, okay. Sisi sister and I will take you home. Rest assured. First, let me settle these two. Theyâre drunk and unconscious.â
More than ten minutes later, Chu Tian and Li Sisi escorted Li Niannian and Bai Xiaochun to the bedroom and helped them lie down on the bed to sleep. In the living room, Xia Mo couldnât sit still and insisted on going back. Chu Tian and Li Sisi had no choice but to accompany her first.
â¦â¦.
It was 10:00 p.m.! In Xia Moâs rented room, Li Sisi handed a washed towel to Xia Mo, who was sitting on the sofa, and said, âHere, Xia Mo, wipe your face. Itâll feel better.â
Xia Mo took the towel and lazily wiped her face before leaning back on the sofa and closing her eyes.
Seeing this, Chu Tian smiled helplessly and asked, âReady to go now?â
âWait a moment,â Li Sisi smiled. âI canât just leave her like this. Sheâs still feeling the effects of the alcohol. Let her rest a bit longer.â
Chu Tian nodded in understanding.
Li Sisi sat down next to Chu Tian and pursed her lips. âTell me, how much did you spend this time?â
âWell?â Chu Tian smiled. âWhat about the money? Tonightâs meal only cost 500, and the wine was from our bar. We also bought some beef, mutton, and vegetables, so we spent a bit of money, but not much.â
Li Sisi smiled and rolled her eyes. âDonât beat around the bush. You know thatâs not what Iâm asking. I donât know yet, but I want to know. There must be a reason behind her actions. So, did you spend a lot of money?â
Itâs really nothing,â Chu Tian said with a smile. âOur relationship is good, so itâs a small matter for us. We handled it casually, without spending any money.â
Li Sisi thought for a moment and asked, âSo, are they from the same province?â
Chu Tian smiled and shook his head. âNo, sister, donât worry about it. The matter with Sister Nian has already been resolved.â
Seeing that Chu Tian didnât provide any further details, Li Sisi nodded and said with a smile, âAlright, I wonât ask anymore. By the way, how is it living with your mother-in-law?â
âItâs good,â Chu Tian smiled. âNo matter what, we are future family members, so itâs only right for me to take care of my mother-in-law. The food is good too, at least six dishes per meal.â
âReally? Thatâs great for you,â Li Sisi smiled. âMy mother-in-law is very satisfied with you. Otherwise, you wouldnât be able to serve me so well.â
âNot bad,â Chu Tian said. âXiao Baiâs mother really likes me.â
âI told you,â Li Sisi smiled and said. âI couldnât find a son-in-law like you even if I searched with a lantern. What do you have to be nervous about? Youâre doing great.â
âIâm no longer nervous,â Chu Tian smiled and said. âIâm completely at ease.â
âThatâs good. It should be like that,â Li Sisi said. âBig Baby will be with you for the rest of her life. No one can take her away from you.â
âSheâs mine,â Chu Tian chuckled. âAnd my Sisi sister is also mine.â
âYouâre shameless,â Li Sisi smiled and playfully hit Chu Tian.
Time flew by, and more than half an hour later, Xia Mo woke up and was much more alert. Chu Tian and Li Sisi accompanied her back to her home.
As they walked and chatted, with Li Sisi holding Chu Tianâs arm, they reached the seventh floor. Suddenly, Chu Tian seemed to notice something and was taken aback.
Chu Tianâs rented house across the hall had a woman who appeared to be Elder Sunâs âfemale secretaryâ carrying two large suitcases, ready to enter the apartment.
In a low voice, Li Sisi said, âHey, Chu Tian, isnât that our neighborâs door? Looks like thereâs a new couple living there.â
A new couple?
Chu Tian nodded. âSeems like it.â
âThis woman is so beautiful,â Li Sisi commented. âAnd she has a great temperament.â
Chu Tian smiled and said, âHey, beautiful, are you new here?â
The female secretary looked at Chu Tian, smiled sweetly, and replied, âYes, I just moved here today.â
âJust moved here today? Then weâll be neighbors,â Chu Tian said. âWe live right across from you. My name is Chu Tian. Whatâs your name?â
âIâm Song Xiaoya,â she replied with a sweet smile. âNice to meet you. Please take care of me in the future.â
