"Tang Xi?" Jiang Hua called out, gesturing towards him.
The man turned around when he heard the shout. Jiang Hua immediately felt that this man was like a sword drawn from its sheath, and it was hard to connect him with Chen Xi, who was usually a silly goofball in games.
Tang Xi stood up, stroking her chin: "Oh my, Mingzi, is this your sister-in-law?"
Upon hearing that comical nickname and that nonchalant tone, Jiang Hua immediately understood that this was Tang Xi.
"At first, with your serious demeanor, I thought I had met my homeroom teacher," Jiang Hua joked.
Tang Xi laughed heartily: "My family has a military background, so my dad had me train in the military since I was a child, but after all these years I still have a cynical attitude."
Gu Yiming smiled and said, "Tang Xi and I went to the same university. Back then, he was a top player in the e-sports club."
So that explains why Tang Xi's skills are so good; he's a professional player.
Tang Xi waved his hand: "Sister-in-law, don't listen to Xiao Ming's nonsense. What I'm doing is child's play. Xiao Ming is the real expert, he's the president of the e-sports club."
"Really? I didn't know you were this amazing..."
Jiang Hua looked at Gu Yiming with starry eyes.
Gu Yiming was pleased and gave Tang Xi a "well done" look.
Tang Xi continued, "But sister-in-law, your 'operations' are really quite impressive."
Jiang Hua nodded: "I played LoL for a while before I learned it."
The three of them shared a common interest and quickly hit it off.
Jiang Hua said, "Could you help me move my luggage to my rented apartment later?"
Gu Yiming seemed a little unhappy: "Aren't you going to live with me?"
Jiang Hua pondered for a moment and said, "No need, the time isn't right yet, I don't want to trouble you too much."
Gu Yiming frowned: "We are a couple."
Jiang Hua played with Gu Yiming's hand: "I know, don't worry, I'm fine."
Gu Yiming still wanted Jiang Hua to live with him, but Tang Xi couldn't stand it anymore and said, "I have an abandoned house here, the location is great, why don't you stay here for now, sister-in-law?"
Jiang Hua still didn't want to go through too much trouble, but Gu Yiming's personality... She sighed and nodded: "Okay, I'll pay you the rent."
Tang Xi knew she couldn't refuse Jiang Hua, so she accepted. Gu Yiming, standing to the side, gave Tang Xi a meaningful look: "You dare to take your sister-in-law's money?"
Tang Xi immediately backed down and said, "Sister-in-law, we can pay the rent later."
Jiang Hua blinked: "What's wrong?"
Tang Xi said with a mournful face, "I'm afraid Xiao Ming will kill me..."
Jiang Hua looked at Gu Yiming and saw that he was just eating his food peacefully, so she nodded with amusement.
"Okay, okay."
Gu Yiming said, "After we finish eating, let's go take a look at that house and see if it meets the standards."
Jiang Hua nodded.
"Sister-in-law, this house is actually quite nice. Here are the keys, take them."
Tang Xi smiled, took out a key from his pocket, tossed it to Jiang Hua, stretched, and said lazily, "However, this house hasn't been lived in for a long time, so it might be a bit dirty. I'll trouble you and Xiao Ming to clean it."
The fact that someone gave us a house is already a huge help, so Jiang Hua smiled and nodded: "Okay, after Gu Yiming and I finish cleaning, how about we have a meal together?"
"Great! I'd love to try your cooking too!" Tang Xi replied happily, but then a flicker of something crossed her eyes. "Let's do it another day. My dad wants me to go home."
Jiang Hua didn't ask for details: "Okay then, just give me a call whenever you want to come."
Tang Xi nodded, then looked at Gu Yiming: "Xiaoming, it's getting late, I need to go home."
Gu Yiming pondered for a moment, then said meaningfully, "Your dad won't be angry when you go back this time, will he?"
Tang Xi shook her head and said indifferently, "Who cares? I'm just not interested in that kind of thing."
After saying that, he stood up, patted Gu Yiming on the shoulder, and waved his hand: "Alright, I'm leaving."
Gu Yiming frowned as he watched Tang Xi leave.
Jiang Hua, who was standing nearby, noticed that Gu Yiming was in a bad mood, so she said, "Okay, let's go buy some tools and clean the house."
Gu Yiming nodded and left the hotel. The two of them then went to buy some cleaning tools and went to the address of the house that Tang Xi had given them.
This house is indeed quite large, but no one lives there, so it's covered in dust.
Jiang Hua turned on the tap, preparing to mop the floor. Gu Yiming was wiping the table for her. Jiang Hua had a sudden thought, so she wet herself and splashed some water on Gu Yiming's face.
Gu Yiming squinted one eye, feigning anger: "Jiang Hua!"
Then they also dipped their hands in the water and splashed water on the river, the two of them laughing and joking.
Just then, Jiang Hua tripped over the mop on the ground. Just as she was about to fall, Gu Yiming reacted quickly and pulled her into his arms. Looking at Jiang Hua's clean-cut face, Gu Yiming was stunned. Jiang Hua's cheeks turned pink, and as she watched Gu Yiming approach little by little, she nervously closed her eyes.
Why haven't they kissed yet?
Jiang Hua opened her eyes a crack and saw Gu Yiming smirking beside her. Jiang Hua's lips twitched, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
You don't think I'm going to kiss you, do you?
Gu Yiming raised an eyebrow.
Jiang Hua stammered, "No...no, that's not true."
"Oh?" Gu Yiming felt a teasing urge. "Then why are you closing your eyes?"
Jiang Hua wasn't about to back down either, pointing at Gu Yiming and saying, "Then why are you standing so close to me?"
Gu Yiming crossed his arms and smirked: "That's because you have a black patch on your face!"
"You! You!" Jiang Hua was furious and stomped her feet twice.
Gu Yiming continued wiping the table, unaware that Jiang Hua was watching. A faint smile appeared on Gu Yiming's lips.
Seeing that the house was almost cleaned, Jiang Hua still felt that something was missing. After thinking for a while, she said, "Let's go buy some things later."
Gu Yiming nodded, and the two set off.
Jiang Hua bought a lot of small items, all for couples, and Gu Yiming acted as her porter.
As fate would have it, it suddenly started raining. Gu Yiming went to the convenience store next door to buy an umbrella, only to find that there was only one left.
To keep Jiang Hua from getting wet, Gu Yiming deliberately tilted the umbrella towards her when he opened it, causing half of his own body to get soaked. Jiang Hua only noticed this when they got home.
"You keep thinking about me but never consider yourself!" Jiang Hua said, somewhat angrily.
Gu Yiming pouted, "Okay, okay, I know I was wrong..."
Jiang Hua didn't say anything: "Go take a shower quickly, don't catch a cold."
Gu Yiming obediently nodded and went to take a shower.
Jiang Hua then considered that they hadn't eaten all night, so they went downstairs.
