The rent collector became stronger, and he took in a young, energetic woman every day.

Chapter 38 You four are playing mahjong so late at night?! Little Deer doesn't believe it!

Xiao Rou tensed up immediately upon hearing the deer's call.

Coco froze, even her breathing paused for a beat.

Sister Nan was so nervous that she couldn't help but hold her breath. She was already sensitive, and if her sisters found out that she had come to sneak off to eat with Brother Mo in the middle of the night, she would be teased by them.

Thinking of this, her cheeks turned even redder, burning hot.

Chen Mo felt the three girls in the bed stiffen at the same time and sighed inwardly.

Oh no, if word gets out, he'll be seen as a beast and a pervert.

But he hadn't done anything; he was just sleeping in his room when these three kittens, who were planning to steal his food, spotted him.

It would be such a shame to be considered a pervert for this.

Chen Mo felt somewhat helpless, but since the deed had already been done, it had to be resolved eventually.

He thought for a moment, then suddenly threw off the covers.

The three girls in the bed were all exposed, staring at each other with wide eyes.

Sister Nan looked shocked, her mouth slightly open, her pupils filled with disbelief.

She was completely dumbfounded, never expecting that there were two people hiding in her bed.

Xiaorou and Keke looked away awkwardly, trying to appear natural, but the blush on their faces betrayed them.

How could it be natural?

Four people in one bed – this is practically a meeting of the century.

Sister Nan opened her mouth, her voice trembling slightly: "You—"

Coco blushed but stubbornly interrupted, "It should be said—we."

Xiao Rou nodded, looking at Sister Nan with a mischievous glint in her eyes, a half-smile playing on her lips.

"Xiao Nan, I never thought you'd fallen for Mo Ge's charm too. You usually don't talk much, but I never expected you to be so secretly passionate."

Sister Nan's face turned even redder, so red it looked like it was about to bleed, and her lips trembled for a long time before she managed to squeeze out a few words.

"I—I just—"

She had no idea how to defend herself, since she had been caught red-handed by these two people.

Then she suddenly realized.

Wait a minute, shouldn't we be the ones catching them red-handed?

But then she immediately realized something was even more wrong.

He had absolutely no right or status to arrest Bao Xiaorou and Keke, after all, she wasn't anyone to Brother Mo.

Her face turned even redder.

Chen Mo looked at the three girls and muttered something in a low voice, clearly annoyed.

"Alright, now's not the time for you to reminisce. Come on over, let's get things set up."

He got up and walked to the table next to the bedroom, took out a mahjong set from the drawer under the table, and placed it on the table.

Upon seeing this, the girls' eyes lit up slightly.

Coco lowered her voice and praised, "Brother Mo, you're really smart."

Xiao Rou nodded in agreement: "Brother Mo, you've really thought of everything. You even prepared mahjong in the bedroom."

Chen Mo's lips twitched slightly, too lazy to pay them any attention.

Outside the door, the deer's cries still echoed in the corridor, urgent and bright.

"Brother Mo! Are you awake? Can you hear me? Xiao Rou and Xiao Nan are gone!"

Chen Mo quickly arranged the mahjong tiles, and the three girls sat down at the table. He took a deep breath, walked over, and opened the door.

The little deer stood at the door, her face still showing anxiety, about to call out again.

Then she froze.

She saw Coco, Xiaorou, and Sister Nan sitting at the mahjong table in the room, each holding a mahjong tile in their hand, and a deck of tiles that had been almost set up on the table.

Chen Mo stepped aside, his tone as calm as if nothing had happened.

"Sorry, we were playing mahjong and got so engrossed that we didn't hear what you said."

Little Deer's eyes widened, and her voice rose a half-octave: "Huh? The four of you are playing mahjong so late at night?"

She was stunned. How could someone be playing mahjong so late at night instead of sleeping?

The deer said it didn't believe it!

Coco blinked and smiled, "Yeah, I couldn't sleep, I was so bored. I happened to see Xiaorou and Xiaonan outside, so I called them to Mo-ge's room to play mahjong."

The little deer immediately pouted angrily and shook its little fist in front of its chest.

"Oh, so you guys were secretly playing mahjong without telling me!"

Xiao Rou stood up and walked to Xiao Lu's side, putting her arm around her shoulder in a soft voice.

"Oh dear, you were sleeping too soundly. I'll definitely wake you next time."

In the corridor, Tian Tian and Xiao Ning also peeked out. Both of them were wearing pajamas, their hair was a little messy, and their eyes were still drowsy from being woken up.

Coco waved to them and asked with a smile, "Do you want to play? Let's play together, it's more fun with more people."

Several girls' eyes lit up at the same time, and they were about to step into the room.

Chen Mo's voice rang out at the right moment.

"Alright, alright, that's enough playing. It's getting late, we really should rest. Let's play again tomorrow."

Coco, Little Deer, and Little Rou exchanged glances and nodded obediently.

"Okay, Brother Mo, we understand."

Their voices were clear, obedient, and tinged with a hint of reluctance.

Sister Nan stood up from the chair, her head down, the blush on her face not yet completely gone.

The girls walked past Chen Mo one by one. Xiao Rou said "Goodnight, Brother Mo," Coco said the same, Xiao Lu pouted and added, and Nan Jie's voice was the softest, almost inaudible.

Sweetie and Xiaoning added "Goodnight, Brother Mo" in the hallway before turning around and going back to their rooms.

Chen Mo stood at the door, watching the backs of the girls disappear into the rooms on both sides of the corridor, and gently closed the door.

The room fell silent.

The mahjong tiles were still on the table, four chairs were scattered around the table, the bedding was in a mess, and the pillow was crooked to one side.

Chen Mo sat down on the bed, lay down, and pulled the blanket over his body.

But he couldn't sleep.

He had been sleeping soundly, but after this ordeal, his mind was filled with all those chaotic images from earlier.

Especially since the unique fragrance of several young girls still lingered in the quilt, mixed together and seeping into the nostrils, it just wouldn't dissipate.

This caused Chen Mo to feel a burning heat spreading outwards from his body, and no matter how he tossed and turned, he couldn't find a comfortable position.

It's true what they say: if one monk carries water, three monks will have no water to drink.

If only Xiaorou had come in today, he might already be in a post-coital state, sound asleep.

Now look what happened, he didn't get to eat a single one, and now everyone is treating him like a pervert.

Of course, these girls might not necessarily think he's a pervert, but he himself feels that his behavior is indeed a bit perverted.

Chen Mo sighed and secretly decided that next time someone sneaks into the room, he must lock the door from the inside.

We absolutely cannot let a second person in.

Letting a second person in might be okay, but absolutely no more!

Chen Mo took out his phone, wanting to watch some videos to distract himself.

When you open a short video app, the first video pushed to the homepage is the video of him playing the piano at the Nanshanbei Folk Music Restaurant.

The number of likes has already exceeded 100,000, and the number of comments is still rising rapidly. It has already become a trending topic in the local area.

He opened the comments section and scrolled down one by one.

"Who is this amazing player? Please tell me their name!"

"I listened to it from beginning to end, and I had goosebumps the whole time."

"Having studied piano for fifteen years, I can say with certainty that this person's skill level is world-class."

"It's been playing on repeat twenty times already, and I still can't get out."

"Does anyone know which restaurant he's still playing at? I want to go see him live!"

Chen Mo smiled slightly and closed the video software.

Just as he was about to put down his phone, he saw an unread message on the chat app.

Upon clicking, the profile picture is of a girl standing sideways on a beach, her long hair blowing in the sea breeze. The background is bright blue seawater and white sand, with sunlight streaming through the gaps in the clouds, making her seem to glow.

Their youthful energy is unmatched.

My WeChat name is "Zhi Xia," just two simple characters with no extra suffixes or emojis.

It was Lin Zhixia, the girl he added at the Nanshan North Restaurant.

The message was sent around 10 p.m.

"Sorry to bother you so late. I was wondering if you have some time this weekend? I'd like to ask you some questions about the piano."

Chen Mo couldn't help but smile when he saw the words "senior".

This girl from the music academy is quite interesting.

He thought for a moment, then typed a few words on the screen.

"Okay, where is the location?"

He was about to put down his phone and go to sleep, since it was already late, past 1 a.m., and the other party probably wouldn't reply anymore.

I was just about to turn off the screen when the message came back.

"That's great! Let's meet at Shiguang Music Studio in the west of the city at 3 pm on Saturday. I'll be waiting for you there."

Chen Mo was somewhat surprised, not expecting the other party to reply so quickly at such a late hour.

He replied with a single word: "Okay."

The other person sent another emoji, a cartoon girl making an OK sign with her eyes curved into two crescent moons and her cheeks puffed out, looking incredibly cute.

Chen Mo didn't reply again, so the back-and-forth between the two sides went on and on.

He put down his phone, turned over, and closed his eyes.

But my mind didn't stop.

He thought that he didn't lack money now, so maybe he could find something to do.

Then I can directly hire these young women as my employees, which will not only guide them onto the right path but also make money. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?

However, I still need to think carefully about what to do.

For example, he also opened a folk music restaurant, where he could play the piano in his spare time and have young female staff work as waitresses.

For example, you could open a milk tea shop and have them make the milk tea.

Or they could open a flower shop and sell bouquets every day, which would be a peaceful and quiet life.

As Chen Mo pondered these things, drowsiness gradually crept over him.

My eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and my consciousness slowly sank to the edge of darkness.

Just as he was about to fall asleep, the door opened again.

The sound of the door hinges turning was exceptionally clear in the quiet of the night, like a needle piercing his eardrums.

Chen Mo suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils focusing instantly in the darkness.

I was completely shocked.

What's going on?

Come again?
