The caller ID displayed on the screen of his cell phone: "Lil 'Sis."

Not only that, there was also a picture of Xiao Mingyue on the screen. Xu Ningzhou didn't really want to help pick it up.

However, the other side didn't give up and instead kept calling. Xu Ningzhou was worried that the other side had something urgent, so he helped to pick up the call. Without waiting for the other side to speak, he took the initiative to call.

"It's Xu Ningzhou. Mingyang has gone to the washroom."

"Brother Ning!"

Upon hearing Xu Ningzhou's voice from the other end of the phone, Xiao Mingyue's cheerful voice greeted him.

Xiao Mingyue, who was sitting in the car, held the phone with a beautiful smile on her face. Her voice carried a sweetness as she asked: "Big Brother Ning Zhou, when are you going to end?"

Compared to Xiao Mingyue's boredom, Xu Ningzhou spoke in a completely businesslike tone: "Did something happen and you were in a hurry to find your brother?"

Xiao Mingyue's smile froze at the corner of her mouth. She lowered the window and looked towards the top of the hotel, continuing to speak in her sweet and clear voice, "I'm afraid that it's inconvenient for you to drive after drinking, so I brought the driver to pick you up at the hotel."

"We're here?"

"Yes."

"Wait a moment." Xu Ningzhou got up and went to the washroom to look for Xiao Mingyang. The sound of Xu Ningzhou's footsteps came through the phone. Just hearing the man's voice made Xiao Mingyue blush a little. She switched the phone and rubbed her ears.

Xu Ningzhou found Xiao Mingyang in the washroom. Xiao Mingyang had already vomited, and had also regained some of his consciousness. He was currently bent over the sink, slapping his face with cold water.

When Xiao Mingyang raised his head and saw Xu Ningzhou walk in through the mirror with his bloodshot eyes, his gloomy face instantly turned into a smiling face. He joked towards the person in the mirror: "You really came to help me?"

"Mingyue is looking for you." Xu Ningzhou handed over the phone, even passing it over with a piece of paper.

Upon hearing Xiao Mingyue's name, Xiao Mingyang randomly wiped his hands, accepted the phone, and warmly said: "Hello? "Mingyue."

Xu Ningzhou turned around and left. He lit a cigarette in the smoking area and gazed out the window at the night scenery of Wanning City.

It had been more than a decade since he had come back. It seemed that something had changed, yet had not.

After tonight's feast ended, Xu Ningzhou did not leave the stage in advance. After Xiao Mingyang sent everyone off, Xiao Mingyue stuck her head out of the lounge with two boxes of food and saw that only Xu Ningzhou and Xiao Mingyang were left, looking like two lively and adorable little rabbits. With a sweet smile on their faces, she shouted, "Big Brother, Big Brother Ningzhou."

Xiao Mingyue was 19 this year. After graduating from junior high, she had chased Xu Ningzhou abroad. Now, however, because Xu Ningzhou had returned home after her studies abroad, she went to Xu Ningzhou's apartment to look for people until she returned.

As for Xiao Mingyue, she had also returned from overseas because the problem of returning to her home country's school had yet to be resolved. However, Xiao Mingyue already had a goal in mind, and her application had already reached Star University.

"I've brought you all some sobering soup." Xiao Mingyue placed the box in her hand on the table and opened it, then handed the first one to Xu Ningzhou.

Xu Ningzhou smiled as he handed the soup over to Xiao Mingyang and said, "Give it to Mingyang. I've only had a few cups of it tonight, and it hasn't reached the stage where I need to drink the soup yet."

Xiao Mingyang knew that his younger sister liked Xu Ningzhou, and was already used to her actions.

The sobering soup was still warm, and his stomach was on the verge of burning up. Even after drinking it, his mouth felt warm.

Xu Ningzhou looked at the time, then stood up and said, "It's getting late. Since Mingyue is here to pick you up, I'll leave first."

Xiao Mingyue anxiously asked, "Are we not going to go together?"

"No, I have to go back to the courtyard tonight." Xu Ningzhou picked up his suit jacket and waved to the two of them with his back facing the corner of his arm.

Xiao Mingyue's gaze never left Xu Ningzhou's back. She bit her lower lip, a look of unwillingness still on her face.

Xiao Mingyang drank a bowl of sobering soup, and raised his hand to rub the top of his sister's head as he said in a hoarse voice: "Stop looking, we've already walked far away."

Xiao Mingyue blinked unwillingly, then hugged onto Xiao Mingyang's arm with a wronged expression. When she opened her mouth, her voice was filled with a sobbing tone: "Big Brother, am I not good? Why doesn't he like me? "

"Silly girl, you're very good." Xiao Mingyang hugged her in his arms, and rubbed her hair affectionately with his lips, "He will like you."

"Really?" Hearing that, Xiao Mingyue immediately looked up from Xiao Mingyang's embrace, and hit his chin on the top of his head.

Xiao Mingyang hissed and Xiao Mingyue immediately extended her hand to rub his chin. She even stuck out her tongue to express her apology.

It was already ten at night when Xu Ningzhou left the military compound. He sat in the back seat and rolled up his sleeves as he turned on the light. A bruise appeared on his arm. He grinned and said, "This old man's strength is still as great as ever."

The bodyguard in the driver's seat smiled and answered, "Commander is getting stronger and stronger."

Xu Ningzhou leaned back in his chair, the corners of his mouth curving up into a smile. "Isn't it so? It's even a familiar taste, a familiar formula."

When he was young, the Demon King of Confusion was fearless. The only thing that could take care of him was the stick in his grandfather's hand. Now that the stick had become a walking stick, his strength had increased by quite a bit.

Xu Ningzhou rubbed his arm. Thankfully, the old man had a sense of propriety. He didn't injure his muscles, nor did he injure his bones and muscles, so he struck out towards Xu Ningzhou's muscles.

His mood was good, and Xu Ningzhou couldn't help but think of his family's little fairy. He immediately took out his phone and called Song Qinghuan.

In front of her computer, Song Qinghuan was checking her ticket to Dongyang City. If she flew to Wanning City on time, it would take her an hour to get there.

Song Qinghuan rarely had the chance to go out alone, so when she went out now, she needed to plan the entire route in advance. Just as she was about to buy a ticket, her phone rang.

When she saw that the caller ID was Xu Ningzhou, Song Qinghuan picked up the phone with her left hand and the mouse in her right hand as she clicked on the ticket: "It's already so late, you still haven't rested?"

In the night, Xu Ningzhou's voice seemed to have a certain charm to it, making people immerse themselves in it. He smiled and said, "Not yet. On the way back, what about you? You're not practicing your zither at this time of the year are you? "

"No, I'm buying a ticket."

Hearing about buying a ticket, Xu Ningzhou immediately sat up straight: "Buy a ticket? "Where are you going?"

Song Qinghuan's finger, which was pointing at the mouse, suddenly stopped as her thoughts quickly spun about. Finally, she said: "I have a job. I need to go to Dongyang City."

Xu Ningzhou didn't ask her if she still had any work to do during class, but instead went to the neighboring Dongyang City and pointed at her knees. The crown prince immediately squinted his eyes, his sexy voice carrying a gentle smile as he said, "What a coincidence, send me your trip, I'll take care of it."

Song Qinghuan used the mouse to draw a tick on the screen. This time, she did not reject Xu Ningzhou and told him of their trip, and even asked him to take the tickets.

Two days later, at noon, Xu Ningzhou came to Star University to pick up Song Qinghuan and bring her to the airport. In the airport's underground parking lot, the two of them had just gotten off the car, but before Xu Ningzhou could even steady himself, he was thrown into the backseat by Song Qinghuan.
