Chapter 26 Bring a Sister
“It’s almost October 1st, what are you going to do?”

After lunch, Tang Lin saw Xu Mingyuan returning to the classroom and waved him over.

“It’s just three days off, what can we do? Just do some homework, go to Jiangcheng, and then go out for a walk with Sun Hongwei and the others, that’s all.”

Xu Mingyuan had already made plans to go to Jiangcheng to give bonuses to employees and handle some minor matters, and the day was gone.

Sun Hongwei and the others insisted on going out together, and it was hard to refuse as it would take another day.

The rest of the day can be spent by taking a rest and resting up.

“Nothing good has happened to you two being together. Are you going to the Internet cafe to play games again?”

Tao Shuxin supported his chin with his hand, looking like he knew it was just like that.

“Almost. I just want to play some games.”

Xu Mingyuan thought about it and seemed to think that this was the only way.

At that time, there were not many entertainment industries in Nanxi City, and students had even fewer options. Apart from game halls, there were Internet cafes. There were too many second-rate people in the billiard halls, making it smoky and uncomfortable to go there.

“Last time you guys stayed up all night on the Internet, and I haven’t told the teacher yet.”

“They just tell tales. They fall asleep in class. How could Lao Gao not know this? He just doesn’t want to intervene.”

“How dare you talk about them? Didn’t you sleep?”

“Didn’t you wake me up?”

That day was when Tao Shuxin was launching the cold war against Xu Mingyuan. Seeing that he was still sleeping on the desk when the bell rang, she pushed him up.

Going to the Internet cafe with classmates to play games was for the atmosphere. Xu Mingyuan was really bored so he just went along to play, playing Red Alert and CS with them.

Although Xu Mingyuan hadn’t played for a long time, he was still a veteran who bullied the newbies. After he bullied them to the point where they didn’t want to play anymore, he went home early, but didn’t fall asleep until three in the morning. He didn’t have much energy the next day and spent the whole day in a daze.

“Playing computer games is so boring. I really don’t know what you boys are playing for.” Tao Shuxin said with disdain.

“You have to have some entertainment, right? Are you just going to stay at home during the holidays?”

“Of course not. Linlin and I made an appointment to go eat egg tarts after shopping. The new McDonald’s is delicious.”

“That’s it, strolling around and eating and drinking, isn’t it the same for everyone?”

“How can this be the same? You are not doing your job properly!”

“Yes, yes, I’m not like you who brings textbooks with him when he goes shopping.” Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

“You are quibbling! The school has clearly stipulated that students are not allowed to go to Internet cafes or game rooms!” Tao Shuxin said angrily.

Xu Mingyuan was surprised. This little girl has become smarter. She actually knows that she is making a sophistry. Usually, she is so anxious that she is scratching her hair because she has no way to defend herself.

“Whatever you say.”

Xu Mingyuan decisively skipped this topic.

Seeing that he was like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, Tao Shuxin felt like she had punched cotton and started to sulk again.

“Xu Mingyuan, why don’t we go together? Jiang Ping and Li Siqi can also come. It will be easier for us to have more company.” Tang Lin said from the side.

“I have no idea what’s going on. I might as well just sleep at home if I have the time.”

Xu Mingyuan decisively refused. What he hated most was accompanying young girls shopping. He went shopping when he was in college in order to pick up girls, but after graduation he no longer had the time for that.

“Don’t you want to buy some clothes or something? The temperature will drop in October. If you don’t go now, you won’t have the chance.”

“No, let’s wait until the temperature drops. Sunday afternoon is enough.” Xu Mingyuan said.

“Linlin, don’t pay attention to him. We don’t want him to go.” Tao Shuxin said to Xu Mingyuan word by word: “This guy can only ruin the scenery!”

Tang Lin looked at her strangely: Why didn’t you say it at the beginning, but instead waited until Xu Mingyuan said he didn’t want to go before saying you didn’t want him to go?

Of course, Tang Lin would not say these words, she just thought they were funny.

“Go ahead, go ahead. Aren’t you staying at home too? You’re either studying or going home all day. You can’t even get any sunlight. You’ll feel depressed.” Tang Lin didn’t give up and continued to persuade.

Xu Mingyuan is a very interesting person. It would definitely be fun to hang out with him.

“No…” Xu Mingyuan wanted to refuse, but when he thought about Xiao Yangzhi’s holiday, he changed his mind and said, “You can go. When is the date? Do you have a phone number? We can contact each other then.”

Ever since Xu Mingyuan met Xiao Yangzhi, he has never taken her out to play.

It seemed that apart from exploiting her or giving her some pocket money, there was not much communication.

Thinking about what my cheap dad had told me, and thinking about little Yangzhi’s inferiority complex and aloofness, I felt that I should take her out for a walk.

Xiao Yangzhi studies at school all day long and continues to study when she gets home. If she continues like this, she will soon go crazy.

Little Yangzhi is not herself. She is still in the growth stage. Life is neither long nor short. Since Xu Mingyuan is in charge now, it would not be good to delay her.

Xu Mingyuan is good at business, but he is not very attentive to life. I have never heard Xiao Yangzhi say that she has any friends. In this case, let her classmates take her out to relax.

“Let’s say the 2nd or 3rd. Everyone wants to sleep in on the first day of the holiday.”

Tang Lin took out her cell phone from her schoolbag and wrote down Xu Mingyuan’s number.

“Then number three. I’ll call you.”

Seeing that Tang Lin was holding a new Nokia model, Xu Mingyuan was a little surprised. At that time, not every family would be willing to buy their children a mobile phone worth more than 6,000 yuan. He didn’t expect that her family was well-off and he didn’t even notice it when she was in school.

If it were three months ago, Xu Mingyuan knew there was a little rich woman in the class, he would have tried his best to trick her into giving him some money, but now there is no need.

If nothing unexpected happens, one year from now, there will probably be no more than ten people in the entire Nanxi City who can come up with more cash flow than Xu Mingyuan.

Seeing Xu Mingyuan and Tang Lin exchanging phone numbers, Tao Shuxin sighed secretly and looked unhappy.

In fact, her family conditions are very good, but her mother is very strict. Not to mention a mobile phone, even the computer bought by her father was given away before she even had time to use it.

As a girl with a lively nature, I was confined in high school for two whole years, and with Xu Mingyuan always making trouble for me, I really don’t know how I managed to hold on.

When Tao Shuxin thought that Xu Mingyuan was going too, she hummed reluctantly.

“By the way, I’ll bring a sister with me.”

Xu Mingyuan casually said that it was an appointment made by classmates, and it would be impolite not to bring others along.

“younger sister?”

Tang Lin was stunned and looked at Tao Shuxin.

Tao Shuxin raised her head, narrowed her eyes, and stared at Xu Mingyuan suspiciously.

“What sister do you want to take?”

“It’s your sister, don’t you have one?”

“Relatives?”

“No, she’s my father’s daughter.” Xu Mingyuan said casually.

Although Xiao Yangzhi did not change her words, her household registration was under Xu Jun’s name, so she was actually an adopted daughter.

“Oh? Why haven’t I heard you mention it before?”

Tao Shuxin rested his chin on his hand again, looking a little absent-minded.

“You didn’t ask.”

After Xu Mingyuan answered casually, he lay down on the table and fell asleep.

He didn’t know how many years he hadn’t taken a nap, but now, being able to take a short nap at noon every day was the happiest thing.

Seeing Xu Mingyuan dozing off, the two little girls walked over and sat down, talking quietly. They glanced in Xu Mingyuan’s direction from time to time, wondering what little secrets they were thinking.
