The anchor I was supposed to meet turned out to be my student.

Mom smiled and said, "Why celebrate our wedding anniversary early? Otherwise, it loses its meaning. What's wrong, Xiaojun?"

The observant mother noticed that her daughter was acting a little strange today.

Lu Xiaojun didn't know what to do. She had promised the teacher that she would send her parents away. Just when she was extremely anxious, her mother said again, "Oh dear, I almost forgot. Your father and I have an old classmate to meet tonight, so we can't stay home with you."

"Have we made plans with our old classmates, honey?" The father looked at him, puzzled.

"Honestly, how come you've become so forgetful as you get older?" With that, the mother walked up to her husband and winked at him when Lu Xiaojun couldn't see her.

"Oh, right, I almost forgot, look at my memory... I'm so sorry, my dear daughter." The father looked at his daughter apologetically.

Lu Xiaojun was overjoyed inside, but she remained calm on the surface and said, "It's okay, Mom and Dad. It's also important for you to see your old classmates."

Lu Xiaojun skipped happily back to her room.

In the living room on the first floor, the couple exchanged a glance, and the mother whispered, "Honey, have you noticed something's up? Xiaojun is acting very strangely today, trying every possible way to keep us out of the house tonight."

The father nodded. He wasn't as observant as his wife, and it was only after she pointed it out that he realized something was wrong. He said, "I think our precious daughter wants to invite her classmates over to our house tonight, and..."

"It's a male student!" the two said in unison.

The mother said anxiously, "I've never heard of Xiaojun getting along well with any boys, and now she's even bringing them home. Their relationship must be something special! No, she's so naive, she must have been deceived!"

How could the father not be anxious? In his eyes, his daughter was the apple of his eye, like a fine wine that had been treasured for twenty years, but now it was about to be stolen and drunk by some petty thief. How could he not be angry?

But his years of experience running the company had instilled in him a habit of dealing with problems calmly, so he said, "Right now, it's just speculation. We'll pretend to go out tonight, then come back and observe secretly. The truth will come out then."

The couple looked at each other, determined to catch that heart thief tonight!

Chapter 25. When did you become so close to her?

What's so great about having money to buy front-row tickets to watch your idols sing and dance? The real boss is having them perform right in front of you, just for you!

I was fortunate enough to be the big shot for a moment. Luo Yao sang for me for a whole hour in a KTV room. As the lead singer, her singing skills are beyond question. Especially when she sang the youthful love songs from her own album, her sweet voice and all sorts of playful and cute actions in front of me made me swoon. I finally realized that she was no longer the mischievous little girl from eight years ago, but a goddess who could fascinate men. Who would have thought that I would reject her confession eight years ago?

Although I knew she had received professional training, I was still worried that she would lose her voice, so I pulled her to sit down next to me, put down her microphone, and said, "Take a break. You must be tired after singing for so long."

"No, I've always had a dream: to sing for Brother Tusheng, just for you. So I never get tired of singing!" Luo Yao said with a satisfied expression.

I smiled, feeling touched. I realized this girl was truly good to me, but the more she was like that, the more guilty I felt for rejecting her sincere confession, which made her cry, and then I left that city...

It's not that I feel guilty for not accepting her confession back then, but rather that I failed in my duty as an older brother and hurt her. At the time, I genuinely only saw her as another younger sister, without any romantic feelings. Even now, seeing how beautiful she has become, I can't change those feelings overnight.

"You're sweating, and you still say you're not tired..."

I took a tissue from the tissue box and wiped the few beads of sweat from her forehead. The air conditioning was on, so you can imagine how hard she was singing.

“There are some here too…” she said, pointing to her neck.

"And a little further down..."

She was wearing a JK uniform with a large bow tie at the neckline, making it impossible for the tissue to reach her.

"Just unbutton the top button, okay?"

She was right, so I unbuttoned the top button, but the tissue still couldn't reach it.

Luo Yao's seductive voice came again: "Could you unbutton one more button?"

Without thinking too much, I moved my hand down and easily unhooked it, but the edge of my bra was exposed. I was immediately embarrassed and looked at Luo Yao with some shame. I saw that her eyes were full of cunning, like a little fox who had succeeded in her scheme.

I blushed, handed her the tissue, and said, "You can wipe it yourself..."

"I don't mind~"

I felt really guilty! My memories of her are mostly from when she was in elementary school, so after unbuttoning her second button, I felt a strange sense of guilt.

Seeing that I wasn't interested, Luo Yao reached into her collar to wipe her sweat. After she finished, she said to me, "Help me button it up."

"Can't you just do it yourself?" I said, speechless.

"Whoever solves it is responsible!"

I waved my hand and firmly disagreed. I had already embarrassed myself enough by being teased by a junior. My face was still red.

Luo Yao said nonchalantly, "Whatever, it's up to you. Anyway, if other guys see us when we go out, there's nothing I can do..."

In my anxiety, I scolded, "How can you go out like this? Aren't you ashamed?"

Luo Yao pouted and stubbornly said, "Anyway, if you don't deduct the fine, I'll just go out like this!"

I was furious but helpless; this stubbornness of hers hasn't changed over the years! I had no choice but to reach out and help her button it up, but buttoning is obviously more troublesome than unbuttoning, and with her round breasts right below my hand, I was a little nervous and couldn't button it up for a moment.

"Brother Tusheng, don't you know how to button your clothes?"

"you shut up!"

Don't you know that men shouldn't be disturbed when they're focused on their work?

After some effort, I finally buttoned it up. As I relaxed, my hand accidentally touched hers… um, so bouncy…

That wasn't all. Whether Luo Yao did it on purpose or not, she let out a seductive moan, making my face turn red again.

This little devil is so adorable!

Then, Luo Yao received a call from her agent, who seemed to have an urgent matter urging her to return, and I finally escaped her torment...

……

Back home, Luo Yao, that little devil, was still on my mind. She had become much more dangerous than before, leaving me defenseless. I felt like a lamb, at her mercy, and I was sure I would end up in her clutches one day.

Bi Antong wasn't home; she must have gone out. I lay down on the sofa to catch up on my afternoon nap. I was exhausted from getting up so early this morning. I don't know how long I slept, but I was woken up by someone opening the door. It was Bi Antong who had returned, and the Ragdoll cat that had been eagerly waiting ran to its owner.

"Where did you go? Why are you so late? Weren't we supposed to go to the vet together?" I checked the time; it was already six o'clock in the evening.

"No, nothing, I just went for a walk..."

Bi Antong's tone sounded off, so I frowned and guessed, "You didn't go to meet some online friend, did you?"

I remembered the last time she asked me out, and I guessed that someone might have given her a lot of gifts to get her to go out this time. Thinking about this, I felt a little annoyed.

However, Bi Antong quickly denied it, saying, "I'm not meeting any online friends. I already canceled the rule of meeting in person after sending enough gifts. I'm worried I'll run into a jerk like you like last time..."

It's so stupid of me to get scolded, but I'm actually happy about it. Maybe it's because she stopped meeting online friends in person...

"Why are you such a gossip, you grown man? Hurry up and cook dinner. We'll take Pineapple to the vet after dinner."

"Pineapple?"

“It’s my daughter’s name…” Bi Antong picked up the cat that was circling around her feet.

It was a female cat, no wonder she was so alluring, making me... Damn, even cats seem handsome now that I'm single...

"Why is it called pineapple?" I asked curiously.

"Because I accidentally saw an app called Pineapple Bun that day, I decided to name it that."

Pineapple Bun, send the money quickly!!

"Luckily you didn't see an app called DingTalk..."

……

After dinner, Bi Antong took the cat and I to the vet hospital. It wasn't far, so we treated it as an after-dinner walk.

I looked at the pineapple in Bi Antong's hand, which was worth more than me, and said, "Let me hug it, I'm practically its dad, right?"

“It doesn’t have a father, only a mother,” Bi Antong said, blushing slightly.

Even so, she still handed me the pineapple, and I took it directly. But the little guy wasn't too willing, as if he didn't quite approve of me. But cats like this are naturally easygoing, so he didn't resist too much and obediently let me hold him, but he just turned his head to the side and ignored me.

"Why does it dislike me so much? I'm practically its owner..."

“Animals have a very sensitive sense of smell. It’s possible that it smelled the strange scent emanating from you,” Bi Antong explained seriously.

"I am the best embodiment of the word 'gentleman,' so how am I abnormal?"

"Stop insulting the word 'gentleman'! I don't even know who broke into my room that night..."

I glanced at her in surprise. How did she know that I had sneaked into her room the night she had a fever? Bi Antong also realized that she had been exposed and turned her head away to avoid my gaze.

Just as the atmosphere became awkward, someone called me. It was Lu Xiaojun calling. I answered, and she told me that she had sent my parents away and that I could go to her house.

After hanging up the phone, Bi Antong looked over with displeasure and said, "Whose house are you going to this time?"

"It's Lu Xiaojun." I replied without thinking, feeling there was no need to hide it.

"Why did Xiaojun ask you to go to her house? Why did she send her family away? When did you two become so close?" Bi Antong's gaze became wary.

(Monthly votes, come to me!)

Chapter 26. Xin Ning misses you so much~

Bi Antong's three-part question startled me slightly. I noticed her gaze was extremely sharp, something I'd seen in my ex-girlfriend before, with an interrogative quality.

"Which one should I answer first...?"

"Come one by one in order, without missing a single one!"

Her reaction was so intense that I couldn't help but look at her with a strange gaze. She seemed to realize that she had lost her composure, and her gaze wavered as she said, "Don't overthink it. I'm just worried about Xiaojun's safety..."

Do I look like a monster?

I smiled wryly and said, "I was just talking to her about some serious business, what are you so worried about..."

Bi Antong pursed her lips and said, "What serious business do we need to discuss at home..."

Her words were clearly barbed, so I retorted, "You said I was a gossip before, but I think you're the one who's gossiping. You wouldn't tell me where you were going when I asked you, but now you're interested in my affairs..."

“I just went out to look for a part-time job, it’s not a big deal,” Bi Antong complained.

Hearing that she had gone to look for a part-time job, my little worry finally dissipated, but I still asked with concern, "You're busy studying, doing live streams, and looking for part-time jobs right now. Aren't you too tired?"

"I'm looking for a job that only offers one opportunity this weekend, so it won't be too tiring."

"That's good... I know your mother has a lot of expenses, but I'm still worried about your health. If you really need money urgently, you must tell me. Don't touch loan sharks or anything like that. Although my abilities are limited, just ask if you need anything."

Bi Antong gave me a complicated look, then lowered her eyes and whispered, "Thank you..."
