"It's me." Xu Qingmo asked from the entrance of the private box.
Then a voice came from inside the private room.
"Don't worry, in the future, no one will bother you guys anymore." Xu Qingmo said with a smile, like a spring breeze.
"That's good, but it's a pity that I didn't personally teach him a lesson." Lin Youxi said happily, then patted Xu Qingmo's shoulders, "I didn't think that having a bodyguard like you would work."
"Are you alright?" Xia Xiaotong asked with concern when she saw that Xu Qingmo was still blushing red.
"What can I do for you? Let's leave this place. In the future, don't ever come back here again." Xu Qingmo said.
"At that time, this family should actually frame me and never come back again." Lin Youxi pouted, immediately being careful.
As the three of them walked out of the KTV, Xu Qingmo's gaze landed on a figure who was dodging on the road in front of them.
Taking a closer look, it was Zhu Lindong who was bandaged up and sneaking around.
It was he who had reported this to Ling Baiyu and the others. Right now, they were definitely trying to see Xu Qingmo's miserable state, but he was disappointed, his face was full of surprise and disappointment. And when Ling Baiyu and the others had left in such a sorry state, it had caused him to be inexplicably shocked.
Xu Qingmo laughed, then sat in the driver's seat, ignoring him. Ling Baiyu would take care of him, she did not need to do it herself.
However, Xia Xiaotong was meticulous enough, when she saw Zhu Lindong and then when she looked at Xu Qingmo, he seemed to have guessed something, but she did not say it out loud either. Lin Youxi did not say anything.
"Let's go to Xiaotong's house. It's been a long time since we went there." Lin Youxi suddenly said, "I want to eat something made by Xiao Tong."
"Sure, I can cook for you at noon." Xia Xiaotong said happily.
Naturally, Xu Qingmo would not object, so under Lin Youxi's guidance, they drove to an old-fashioned small district.
The residential area was old, and the walls were crawling with mountain tigers, but the place was very quiet. When Xia Xiaotong got off the car, the people in the neighborhood all called her lass, it seemed like Xia Xiaotong had a good relationship with the neighbors.
Along the way, Xia Xiaotong asked questions of all her uncles and aunties. The people who lived in the houses also saw Xu Qingmo and Lin Youxi and they met him a few times and they smiled and greeted him, but it was the first time meeting Xu Qingmo and complimenting him for his handsome looks. From the looks of it, Xu Qingmo was Lin Youxi's boyfriend, but Lin Youxi did not know anything about it, she only greeted Xia Xiaotong.
When they arrived at the residential complex, Xia Xiaotong went upstairs to open the door. She called out to his father, saying that his father was at home.
"Xiaotong is back. There are still some classmates. Come in, come in." Xia Xiaotong's father said.
"Nice to meet you, uncle. I'm here to bother you again." Lin Youxi greeted politely.
"It's Student Lin. Welcome." A very simple middle-aged man amiably said.
The middle-aged man wasn't too old, but he had clearly experienced hardships in his life. He looked a lot older than his real age.
"Hello, uncle. I'm a friend of Xiaotong. Sorry for disturbing you." Xu Qingmo also greeted.
"Hello, hello." The middle-aged man also immediately responded and then looked towards Xu Qingmo in shock.
Xu Qingmo also looked at him, feeling that he looked a little familiar.
Lin Youxi and Xia Xiaotong turned around and looked at the two of them curiously.
"Old Xia!" Xu Qingmo was the first to remember, and waved his hand.
"It's you, young man!" Old Xia also laughed.
"Dad, do you know each other?" Xia Xiaotong asked curiously.
"Yes, but not exactly. We've met once." Old Xia laughed and said.
"Uncle is my benefactor. If it wasn't for uncle's help, I wouldn't have been able to find my current job." Xu Qingmo laughed.
So it turns out that Xia Xiaotong's father was the cleaning worker's Old Xia who had gone to the Lin Group for the first time, and had made a bet with Han Shifei that they would be able to quietly enter the Lin Group's building.
Previously, Old Xia almost smashed Dong Youyou with a slop bucket, but he was kicked away by Xu Qingmo. This was why Xu Qingmo recognized Dong Youyou, he did not expect that now, Xu Qingmo had met the cleaner who was in the air at that time.
"What is going on?" Lin Youxi was also curious.
Xu Qingmo then told his about the bet and finding the Old Xia, but did not mention the trash can. The two girls' eyes flashed. So there was actually such a thing between Xu Qingmo and Old Xia.
Xu Qingmo and Old Xia were originally acquainted with each other, but the atmosphere became even better now.
Old Xia was still working as a cleaner in Lin Group, but he had come back for lunch. Xia Xiaotong said that she would cook for Old Xia and told her to rest, while Lin Youxi also said that he would go and help.
Thus, the two girls cooked in the kitchen while Xu Qingmo and Old Xia sat on the chairs and talked.
Xu Qingmo took a look around, Xia Xiaotong's family situation was not very good, it seemed like it was a one-parent family, only having one father in Old Xia, the house was not big, it was only about 60-70 square meters, the furniture were old, but they were wiped very clean, and it was obvious that it was a father and daughter that knew how to live.
Even though their family's condition wasn't good, Xia Xiaotong and Old Xia didn't have any inferiority complex. Forget about Xu Qingmo, anyone would be able to tell that he was a girl from a rich family. But in front of Lin Youxi, Xia Xiaotong wasn't inferior at all, she was even proud of his own family.
She would also never feel inferior because her father was a cleaner in Lin Youxi's family business.
Lin Youxi also respected Xia Xiaotong a lot, she didn't show any sympathy at all. In fact, as long as she said one sentence to Lin Ruochu, she could definitely arrange a better position for the Old Xia, but she didn't. Because if she really did that, then her friendship with Xia Xiaotong would have come to an end.
Xu Qingmo nodded his head. Although one was poor and the other was rich, but there was a reason why they could become close friends.
"Time to eat!"
Lin Youxi and Xia Xiaotong ran out with food.
Xia Xiaotong finally understood why Lin Youxi wanted to come to Xia Xiaotong's house. Without any other reason, just this cooking skill alone was enough to attract people to come and eat.
Although it was a simple home-cooked dish, it was still very delicious. It was even more delicious than the delicacies of the mountain and sea cooked by the chefs outside.
Xu Qingmo curiously asked Lin Youxi what kind of food she cooked, and in the end, it attracted her angry glare, causing him to laugh tenderly.
Needless to say, Lin Youxi helped in the kitchen but she did not cook at all.
After the meal, Old Xia still had to go to work and let Xia Xiaotong properly entertain the two of them.
The three of them started playing in Xia Xiaotong's house.
Fortunately, Xu Qingmo was allowed to enter Xia Xiaotong's bedroom, which made Xia Xiaotong very red in the face. After all, Old Xia didn't normally enter her bedroom much, and Xu Qingmo could be said to be the first man outside to enter her bedroom.
Xia Xiaotong's bedroom was very small, with only a bed, a desk, and a small window. However, it was dressed very warmly, and the moment Lin Youxi walked in, she immediately laid on Xia Xiaotong's bed.
"Xiaotong, I'm True Fragrance, take a glance at her." With that, Lin Youxi buried his face in the pillow like a child.
Xia Xiaotong's face became even redder upon hearing this. She embarrassedly looked at Xu Qingmo, then ran to the side of the bed to pull Lin Youxi up.
The two girls were making a scene in bed.
Xu Qingmo realized that the things pasted on the walls in Xia Xiaotong's bedroom were not wallpaper, but paintings. There were many types of drawings, including sketches, watercolors, and cartoons, they were all very pretty.
"How is it? My family's Xiaotong's cooking skills aren't bad, right? She drew all of these herself." Lin Youxi laid on the bed with Xia Xiaotong as she spoke a little powerlessly.
"No, I'm just drawing." Xia Xiaotong was still as shy as before.
"It's really quite good. When I was young, I also had a dream of becoming a painter." Xu Qingmo stroked his chin.
"You? I don't believe you." Lin Youxi was the first to question.
"Musician, do you want to rely on that hooligan to become a musician?" Lin Youxi immediately laughed.
Xia Xiaotong also laughed, but she quickly remembered the awkward situation she was in with Xu Qingmo in the room, and immediately blushed red, not daring to speak.
The two girls sat on the bed. Xu Qingmo admired the painting on the wall then realised that he still had an unfinished painting on the desk. As he stretched his head out to look, a fragrant wind blew past him, causing him to suddenly run over and put the painting away.
"It's not finished yet. I can't show it to you." Xia Xiaotong said as she lowered her head and hugged the drawing.
"You can't show it to me." Xu Qingmo was a little disappointed. Previously, when he scanned through it, it looked like a sketch, but it was only a little complete.
"Alright, looks like I'm not in the mood to appreciate your masterpiece." Xu Qingmo was not angry, and went to look at something else.
"You pervert, what are you trying to see by sticking your head out of Xiaotong's bedroom? Get out!" Lin Youxi was unhappy, she crawled up from the bed and pushed Xu Qingmo.
Xu Qingmo had no choice but to walk out of the bedroom.
The moment Xu Qingmo walked out of the bedroom, the bedroom door was immediately closed by Lin Youxi.
"What exactly are they drawing? Quick, let me take a look."
"Eh, I thought you drew the one you like for no reason." Lin Youxi was a little disappointed.
"Nope." Xia Xiaotong took the painting again and hugged it.
"Right, let's go paint later." Lin Youxi suggested.
"Sure." Xia Xiaotong's eyes also lit up.
"Aiya, my hair is in a mess. I'm going to comb it again." Lin Youxi touched his hair. He had messed up when he was fighting with Xia Xiaotong, so he ran out.
Xia Xiaotong was the only one left in the bedroom. She placed the drawing paper she was carrying on the table, picked up the brush, and thought about it with a red face while shaking her lower lip. She quickly drew a few lines on the paper to outline a person's face.
If Lin Youxi looked at it now, she would realize that this face, in addition to the hairstyle, was extremely similar to the one on the outside.
After drawing a few strokes, Xia Xiaotong became even more shy, as if she was stealing something from behind someone's back. She carefully put away the drawing paper, hid it in a corner, and did not let anyone see it.
