100: Chapter 100: Looking for a Target!

The next morning, Tang Zhong had already risen early, sitting cross-legged to begin his cultivation.

Practicing the Mysterious Technique daily was truly refreshing for the mind and spirit.

Checking the time, it was almost seven o’clock.

Tang Zhong then stopped his practice, stood up, and stretched, hearing his bones crackling satisfyingly.

“Comfortable!”

After getting dressed, Tang Zhong realized he had given his jacket to that female police officer yesterday, and now he was without a coat.

“Forget it, I’m going to work, not to pick up girls.

What’s the use of dressing up nicely?”

With that thought, he put on an old T-shirt and headed downstairs.

Aunt Xin had already prepared breakfast.

Seeing Tang Zhong come down, she hurriedly called out, “Xiao Tang, come and eat!”

Tang Zhong relaxed, smiled at Aunt Xin, walked over, and sat down.

He grabbed a steamed bun and started to eat.

However, after finishing a bun, he noticed something odd—where was Xin Xiaotong?

Shouldn’t she be getting ready for school by now?

Why was there no sign of her?

“Aunt Xin, where’s Xiaotong?” Tang Zhong asked.

“Oh, where is that child?” Aunt Xin was also surprised.

“She must not have woken up yet!”

“No way, still not up?

What’s going on?” Tang Zhong felt something was off.

Xiaotong was such a lively and cheerful girl; it wasn’t like her to not get out of bed this late, especially when she had school soon!

“I’ll go check on her!” Aunt Xin headed to the back, to a small room at the end of the hostel, which was Xin Xiaotong’s room.

Tang Zhong continued eating his bun.

But suddenly, he heard Xin Xiaotong’s voice: “I don’t want to go to class today, Mom, let me sleep a bit longer!”

“No way, you’re in your senior year and exams are coming up.

If you don’t make the most of this time, how will you get into college?

Stop sleeping and get up!”

“Oh, Mom, I don’t want to go to class!”

Hearing the voices inside, Tang Zhong frowned.

Something was definitely wrong.

Xiaotong had been so happy about school the day before; what had changed her mood so suddenly?

It seemed like something must have happened, and likely at school, or else Xiaotong wouldn’t object to going.

He then set down his bun and walked towards Xin Xiaotong’s room.

At that moment, in the room, Xiaotong was still in her pajamas, hiding her head under the covers, pretending not to hear Aunt Xin’s words.

Aunt Xin, beside the bed, was earnestly trying to persuade her.

“Come on, get up, Tongtong.

You need to go to school.

What if you fall behind?”

“I won’t go, I won’t!” Xin Xiaotong shook her head vehemently, refusing to budge.

“Oh, Mom, just let me sleep a bit longer.

I’ll go tomorrow, I promise I’ll go to school then!”

“No way, Tang has already gotten up for work.

He just asked about you a moment ago!” Aunt Xin replied.

At the mention of Tang Zhong, Xin Xiaotong pulled the covers down, revealing her head, which was as messy as a wasp’s nest after a night’s sleep.

“Is Brother Tang up?”

“Of course!” By now, Tang Zhong had reached the door and looked at Xiaotong in her Winnie the Pooh pajamas with a beaming smile.

Xin Xiaotong panicked upon seeing Tang Zhong approaching.

She quickly covered herself with the blanket, fearing that Tang might see her in such a disarray, which would be so embarrassing.

After all, she was the school beauty at Number One High School!

Tang Zhong couldn’t help but chuckle.

The little girl was quite shy.

He looked around and noticed that Xiaotong’s room was quite girly, with its pink wallpaper giving off a cozy vibe.

However, the room’s furnishings were simple, with just a bed, desk, and a wardrobe, nothing more.

He then saw that a senior year workbook was left open on the desk next to a pen, apparently untouched after Xiaotong’s study session from the night before.

Such dedication to her studies, and yet now she was reluctant to go to school.

Coupled with Xiaotong’s dejected look from last night, this convinced Tang Zhong that Xiaotong must have encountered some trouble at school.

Xiaotong was getting nervous.

Why had Tang come over?

Her hair wasn’t even combed, and being seen like this would be too awkward.

“Xiaotong, why don’t you want to go to school today?” Tang Zhong asked.

“I…

just don’t feel like going,” Xin Xiaotong mumbled from under the covers, her head still covered.

“Come on, you’re in your senior year.

You need to buckle down.

When I was in senior year, I spent so much time working on problems.

You can’t afford to fall behind.

Let’s go to school together!” Tang Zhong was encouraging Xin Xiaotong.

As for being in senior year, he hadn’t even attended it, only kindergarten.

But the kindergarten teacher couldn’t handle him, so he was moved up to primary school, which also wasn’t suitable, then to middle school, and finally to university.

Even there, the professors couldn’t teach him, and as a result, Tang Zhong dropped out altogether.

“I…” Xin Xiaotong felt a bit wronged.

She knew her circumstances, but she couldn’t express them.

“Don’t worry, whatever happens, your Brother Tang is here for you.

If anyone bullies you, just tell me!” Tang Zhong said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Xiaotong felt a warm surge in her heart, thinking she might as well go to school.

“Alright, I’m getting up!” Xin Xiaotong finally gave in.

“Then I’ll wait for you!” Tang Zhong walked out and continued back to the dining table.

Aunt Xin couldn’t help but praise Tang Zhong for being impressive, “Little Tang, you must help Tongtong out.

I hope she can get into a good university, secure a good job, and not have to bear any grievances in the future!”

“Don’t worry, she will!” Tang Zhong replied with a smile, thinking to himself that he’d have to help Xiaotong with her studies later on.

Soon, Xin Xiaotong,, dressed in the school uniform of Yi Zhong, which included a skirt with lace trimmings and, coupled with her innocent face, she looked exceptionally pretty.

However, when she came out, Xin Xiaotong was a bit awkward.

It was because Tang Zhong had seen her at her worst before.

Remembering her messy beehive hair seen by him made her so embarrassed she wanted to strangle herself.

Thus, she carefully sat at the dining table and took small bites of her bun.

“Xiaotong, you should learn from your Brother Tang and aim for a prestigious university!” Aunt Xin said on the side.

“I got it, Mom!” Xin Xiaotong murmured in response.

“You child, you speak with no confidence.

You must be hungry, eat up!” Aunt Xin handed her a bun.

Xin Xiaotong wasn’t hungry, she was just feeling shy because Tang Zhong had seen her in her disheveled state a moment ago.

Tang Zhong said with a smile, “Let’s go, it’s already half-past seven, time to head to school!”

“Okay!” Xin Xiaotong nodded.

The two of them tidied up and walked out of the hotel entrance.

“Make sure to come back early!” Aunt Xin’s voice called out.

“Got it!”

Tang Zhong rode out on an electric bike, leaving Liu Qingyun’s motorcycle untouched, as it was definitely to be returned.

“Let’s go!” Tang Zhong took Xin Xiaotong and drove out of the community.

Xin Xiaotong didn’t say a word, just sat behind him, thinking about what had happened earlier.

At that moment, they reached the entrance, where Old Mister Gu’s fruit stand was already set up.

Seeing Tang Zhong and her coming, Old Mister Gu took out two apples.

“Little Tang, have these!”

“Alrighty!” Tang Zhong didn’t refuse.

“By the way, Little Tang, where is your family from?” Old Mister Gu asked curiously.

Tang Zhong was taken aback for a moment, wondering what the subtext of the question was, but he answered anyway.

“My family is from Xuanjing City!”

“Xuanjing City, eh!” Old Mister Gu seemed even happier now.

“Old Mister Gu, do you have anything else?” Tang Zhong inquired.

“Nothing, nothing, off you go to school!” Old Mister Gu said with a laugh.

Tang Zhong then rode off on his bike but still pondered why Old Mister Gu had asked that question; it was very strange.

And just as Tang Zhong left…

A woman in a black suit hurriedly ran out from the community.

It was Wu Xiaoyu!

She was Old Mister Gu’s granddaughter.

“Grandpa, I’m off to work!” Wu Xiaoyu called out, grabbing an apple from the stand.

Old Mister Gu had just sent off Tang Zhong and then saw Wu Xiaoyu coming.

He said, “Come back tonight, I’ll take you to meet someone.

I’ve found a really good young man whom I want to introduce to you.

His surname is Tang, and he’s quite handsome too!”

Hearing this, Wu Xiaoyu knew her grandfather was trying to matchmake for her again.

She pretended not to hear, “I’m off, I’m off!”

Hearing her response, Old Mister Gu knew Wu Xiaoyu was just playing it off: “This child…

Sigh, when will she settle down!”
