“Little girl, see if you dare to tease me like this next time!” Zhou Chao carefully got up from the bed, looking at the peacefully sleeping Jiang Li, and chuckled.

Zhou Chao picked up his pajamas and walked out, planning to take a shower in another room.

“Whew, it’s a bit chilly with the wind blowing!” Zhou Chao couldn’t help shivering as he felt a gust of river breeze hitting him just as he left the bedroom.

He closed the door gently and quickly headed to the bathroom in the guest room for a refreshing shower.

“Ah, much better!” After coming out of the bathroom, feeling rejuvenated, Zhou Chao walked downstairs and picked up his phone from the table. He noticed that he had missed several calls and messages from his big brother Li Yang.

He opened one of the messages, all of them saying, “What are you doing? Why aren’t you answering your phone?”

Zhou Chao glanced at the last missed call, which had been 20 minutes ago, while the earliest one dated back 3 hours. He shook his head in resignation and decided to return the call to Li Yang.

“Hey, big bro! What’s so urgent?” The phone rang a few times before Li Yang answered.

“Second brother, 1 thought you were busy having fun with a lady. I called you several times, and you didn’t pick up!”

“Big bro, do you really think I’m that kind of person? Hehe, my girlfriend just arrived in Modu, and she only got here around noon!”

“Oh, 1 see. That’s why you didn’t answer the calls. You should bring her out to meet us sometime. I’ll bring my wife along too!”

“Sure, no problem. Anytime works! By the way, big bro, why did you call me so many times?” Only then did Zhou Chao recall he was supposed to ask Li Yang about the missed calls.

“I almost forgot the reason for the call. I told my old man about what you told me, and he wants you over to have dinner at my place tomorrow night. Don’t forget to bring your girlfriend along!”

“Got it. Oh, by the way, big bro, where do you live?” Zhou Chao suddenly realized he had never been to Li Yang’s place and didn’t know the location.

“I’m at Villa 11, Tangong!”

Zhou Chao knew that Tangong had a total of 18 villas, each with a unique style and layout combination, resulting in eighteen distinct styles of villas.

Those who resided there were considered top elites in Modu.

“I see. Tomorrow night, we won’t be late!” Zhou Chao hung up the phone.

Looking at the time on his phone, it was already 4:30 PM. Zhou Chao stretched his body after a strenuous afternoon workout and sighed.

“I should really pay more attention to moderation in the future.” He got up and walked towards the kitchen to prepare dinner.

As time passed, the sky outside gradually lost its brightness, giving way to darkness. The city lights began to shine, and Zhou Chao, finishing the last dish, placed it in the warming cabinet and clapped his hands in satisfaction. “All right! I can call Jiang Li to wake up and have dinner!” Zhou Chao turned and left the kitchen, heading upstairs.

“Hey, lazy girl, wake up! It’s already dark outside.” Zhou Chao pinched Jiang Li’s nose, and she woke up in no time.

“Brother Chao~” Jiang Li opened her eyes, slightly dazed, and raised her hands.

Zhou Chao watched her movements and lowered his head. Jiang Li directly hugged Zhou Chao’s neck, and he lifted her from the bed.

“All, Brother Chao, put me down!” Jiang Li realized that she wasn’t wearing anything and her face and neck turned crimson.

“I’ve seen it all before!” Zhou Chao teased and then gently placed her back on the bed.

“I’ll take a shower first, and then I’ll come down later,” Jiang Li said as she walked towards the bathroom. Zhou Chao, seeing this, quickly took off his clothes and followed her into the bathroom.

An hour later, Zhou Chao came downstairs feeling refreshed, wearing white pajamas. Jiang Li followed suit, but her face was unusually rosy. She held onto the staircase railing as she slowly descended, looking a bit unsteady.

“Have a seat for now, I’ll bring the dishes out!” Jiang Li sat down, supporting herself with a chair, and watched Zhou Chao busy in the kitchen.

In no time, Zhou Chao brought out the dishes he had prepared, all of which were nourishing. Jiang Li gave him a playful look.

“Hehe, you’ve had a tiring day. Eat up before it gets cold!” Zhou Chao said, and he even helped Jiang Li with a couple of bites.

“Mmm~” Perhaps feeling too tired, Jiang Li didn’t feel like talking much. She buried herself in the food.

“Have some saffron-infused chicken soup; it’s quite tasty. Let me serve you a bowl!”

“Brother Chao, you should eat too. I can do it myself.”

“Don’t move, let me do it. After all, you’ve had a tiring afternoon; you should rest!” Zhou Chao said with a satisfied smile.

Soon, both of them finished their meal, and Jiang Li felt reenergized. She reclined on the sofa and started watching TV, while Zhou Chao went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

“Ah Li, come with me tomorrow to visit an uncle and meet my big brother!” Zhou Chao wiped his hands with a towel and walked towards Jiang Li, who was on the sofa.

“Big brother? You mean Li Yang, right?” Jiang Li immediately thought of their dormitory’s senior, Li Yang.

“Yeah, tomorrow we’re visiting his dad! After we’re done with that, we’ll head to Hong Kong Island, and we can have some fun over there!”

“Sounds good!” Jiang Li scooted closer to Zhou Chao, and he put his arm around her as they watched TV together.

The night passed without much conversation, and before they knew it, it was the next afternoon. Zhou Chao was going through the tea leaves in the tea cabinet, choosing two or three varieties as gifts for Li Yang’s father.

“These should be fine; they should be quite enjoyable.” Zhou Chao looked at the three tea cakes he had selected, which were Pu’er, Tie Guan Yin, and Wuyi Oolong tea. All of them were aged, with the Pu’er being over 200 years old.

Zhou Chao carefully packed them in a box and then placed an outer bag around them.

Satisfied with the gift he had prepared, Zhou Chao clapped his hands and headed upstairs.

At that moment, Jiang Li was in the study playing on the computer. She had watched Zhou Chao play for the entire morning and wanted to give it a try herself. Zhou Chao reluctantly gave up his gaming throne and let Jiang Li take over.

“How’s it going? Is League of Legends fun?” Zhou Chao pushed open the study door and asked, watching Jiang Li, who was focused on the computer.

“All, it’s so difficult! As soon as I go online, the enemy team targets me, and I’ve already died five times. My teammates are even criticizing me!” Jiang Li had a look of distress, her nose slightly wrinkled as she complained.

“Hahaha, let your ‘husband’ handle them!” Zhou Chao laughed and took a seat. “Watch closely and learn!” Jiang Li saw Zhou Chao take control, eliminating the opposing team with ease.

“Brother Chao, you’re amazing! Let’s play together!”

“Once we’re done, I’ll teach you slowly!”

During their conversation, Zhou Chao had already pushed the middle lane to the high ground and helped to gank the top and bottom lanes. They achieved victory in less than 10 minutes!

“Mua, Brother Chao, you’re amazing!” Watching Zhou Chao win, it felt like a victory for Jiang Li too. She jumped for joy!

“All right, quickly change your clothes. It’s getting late, and we should prepare to leave.”

“Okay!” Jiang Li nodded and headed to the bedroom.

In no time, Jiang Li changed her clothes and walked out. Zhou Chao carried the tea leaves he had prepared for Uncle Li, and the two of them set off in their car towards Tangong..
