Chapter 60

The two walked along the small path in the park and soon turned into a residential area next to the park.

Tong Gexiao's home was on the third floor of this residential area. Seeing that they had arrived, she said, "Come to my place for a drink of water!"

Li Yi replied, "No need, it's too late to bother you."

Tong Gexiao said somewhat shyly, "You're already here, at least come up and sit for a while. At the very least, I need to return your clothes."

"Alright." Li Yi nodded. Since she wanted to return his clothes, there was no need to be polite.

When they reached the front door of her apartment, Tong Gexiao hadn't even taken out her keys when the door opened first.

A young girl, who looked as beautiful as Tong Gexiao but much younger, rushed out and shouted, "Mom, you're finally back. Is Dad okay? ... Hey, why are you dressed like that?"

"Your dad is fine, he's already at the hospital. It's so late, why aren't you sleeping?" Tong Gexiao patted her daughter's head and then said to Li Yi, "This is my daughter, Zuo Xinli. My husband works the night shift. He suddenly fainted at work today, so I rushed over and came back a bit late. Let's go inside first!"

Inside the house, Tong Gexiao introduced Li Yi to her daughter, "This is my student, Li Yi. You should thank him on my behalf. I encountered some thugs on the way, and my clothes were torn. If it weren't for Li Yi, I might not have made it back."

"Ah?" Zuo Xinli's big eyes widened in surprise, then she asked with concern, "Mom, you actually encountered thugs? Are you hurt?"

Tong Gexiao, thinking of her狼狈 (embarrassing) appearance at the time, blushed slightly and shook her head, "No, that's why I'm asking you to thank Li Yi."

Zuo Xinli turned to Li Yi obediently and said, "Thank you, Li Yi, for saving my mom! Hey, Li Yi, this name sounds familiar. Do you know a girl named Shen Lingling?"

"Of course I know Shan Shan and Ling Ling. Do you know them too?" Li Yi asked casually.

"Wow, what a coincidence!" Zuo Xinli's expression suddenly became very excited, "Shan Shan and Ling Ling are in my class. We're the best of friends!"

Tong Gexiao, seeing that her daughter and Li Yi were getting along, couldn't help but smile, "You two chat here, I'll go change my clothes!"

She was still wearing Li Yi's clothes, which were a bit too big, making her look particularly funny.

"Go ahead, go ahead!" Zuo Xinli pushed her mother into the bedroom, then circled around Li Yi, nodding, "Hmm, you're quite handsome!"

Li Yi playfully tapped her head and said, "How old are you, already learning to admire handsome guys?"

Zuo Xinli covered her head, a bit unhappy, "I'm doing it for Ling Ling. Who doesn't know that you and Ling Ling are betrothed?"

Li Yi said, "Who told you that I and Ling Ling are betrothed?"

"Pfft, don't pretend, I've known for a long time. Shan Shan told us a long time ago." Zuo Xinli shook her head proudly, then glanced at the bedroom and lowered her voice, "My mom is your homeroom teacher, right? Don't worry, I won't tell her about your early romance."

Li Yi was somewhat amused and surprised. He didn't expect that Shen Shan Shan would spread the joke between the two families at school, and that her classmates would believe it.

Clearing his throat, Li Yi said calmly, "Actually, the one betrothed to me is not Ling Ling, but Shan Shan."

"Eh, how can that be?" Zuo Xinli's big eyes blinked, then she suddenly realized, "Oh, I see, you and Ling Ling are both shy and don't tell the truth, right? Don't worry, only I and Duo Duo know about it at school, we'll keep it a secret!"

"Who is Duo Duo?" Li Yi asked.

"Duo Duo is Han Duo Duo!" Zuo Xinli lifted her little face proudly, "She, I, Shan Shan, and Ling Ling are all on the school dance team. We're the best of friends. Others call us the Four Golden Flowers. Hasn't Ling Ling told you?"

Li Yi couldn't help but tap her little head again, smiling, "Golden flowers? You're so young, at most you're a flower bud!"

"Don't hit my head, I'm not your Ling Ling!" Zuo Xinli pouted, a bit annoyed.

"Xinli, don't fool around with your brother."

At this moment, Tong Gexiao, wearing a pure white professional suit, came out of the bedroom, holding Li Yi's clothes.

"Teacher Tong, you rest now, I'll be going." Li Yi put on his clothes, indicating that Tong Gexiao didn't need to see him off, and walked towards the door.

"Feel free to come over when you have time!" Tong Gexiao said politely.

"Did you hear that? Come over when you have time." Zuo Xinli made a mischievous face and mouthed another sentence, clearly saying, "Bring Ling Ling with you!"

"Alright." Li Yi smiled.

Tong Gexiao, seeing that her daughter had become so close to Li Yi in just a short time, was secretly amazed. Thinking of the scene in the woods, she sighed inwardly, "He really is a very charming person!"

"Brother, why did you take so long? If it weren't for Auntie calling you, I would have thought you got lost in the park!" On the other side, Li Ting immediately started complaining when she saw Li Yi.

"I told you, I met your homeroom teacher, Teacher Tong, in the woods. She was afraid of the dark, so I sent her home." Li Yi said.

"Bullshit, meeting our teacher in the woods at midnight? Why don't you say you met Teacher Luo in your bed?" Li Ting rolled her eyes.

Li Yi laughed, "I can't meet Teacher Luo in my bed, only you."

"Phew, if you dare to enter my room at night, I'll kick you out!" Li Ting clenched her fists.

Seeing Li Yi sit in the driver's seat, Lin Ruxue immediately leaned over and sniffed, "You really smell like another woman, and it's quite strong."

Li Yi laughed, "Is my Xue Xue jealous?"

"You deserve a pinch!" Lin Ruxue extended her hand.

Soon, Li Yi brought his sister and aunt back home. Sitting at home, Lin Ruxue began to ask about the details of the antique, and Lin Ruyu was even more stunned when she heard that her son had sold the antique for over 50 billion.

"So you were missing for three days because you went to a very advanced future? There, you not only strengthened your body but also learned many surprising skills?" Lin Ruxue asked in surprise.

"Yep, that's about it." Li Yi didn't mention that he had stayed in another universe for 30 million years and become an emperor, as it was too shocking, "Let's keep this within the family, don't tell anyone. We'll just say I inherited my grandfather's property, and there's no one to contradict us."

At this moment, Li Ting brought Li Yi's dumbbells with both hands and said, "Come on, show Auntie your iron finger technique!"

Li Yi then reached out and picked up the dumbbell, and with a casual flick, a finger hole appeared in the thick iron block at one end of the dumbbell.

"My goodness!" Lin Ruxue blinked, "Is this magic?"

"Hehe, surprised, right? I was shocked yesterday too! This is solid iron, not magic!" Li Ting seemed to have done something impressive and showed off to Lin Ruxue.

"Alright, let's talk tomorrow, it's too late today. Xue Xue, you can sleep at home, we have a place now." Lin Ruyu said.

"Great, I'll sleep with Auntie!" Li Ting cheered.

"Stop fooling around, you sleep with your brother in the living room." Lin Ruyu said.

Li Ting's face fell immediately.

Their home was a one-bedroom apartment with only two beds. In the past, when Lin Ruxue lived at home, she would sleep in the bedroom with Lin Ruyu, while Li Ting and Li Yi, along with their father, would sleep on the big bed in the living room.

"Who wants to sleep with him? He's not a good sleeper." Li Ting pouted.

"Nonsense, you're the one who always snuggles into my arms when you sleep!" Lin Ruyu laughed.

Li Ting's face turned red, and she said embarrassedly, "Mom, you know I have this habit, so don't make me sleep with my brother. We're both grown-ups now, it's not good!"

"You should sleep with your brother more to learn some manners and get rid of your bad habits. Otherwise, when you go to college and live in a dorm, you'll still want to snuggle into someone's arms, and see how others will laugh at you!"

Li Ting had no choice but to bring her blanket from the bedroom and draw a line in the middle of the bed, saying, "Brother, neither of us is allowed to cross the line, or we'll be puppies!"
