My Childhood Sweetheart Is a Crazy Beauty-Chapter 22 - Crawling through the Dog Hole
Chapter 22: Chapter 22 Crawling through the Dog Hole
"Who?"
Tang Jianguo looked at Tang Chuxia in shock, "Little sister, is your second brother talking nonsense?"
Tang Chuxia chuckled dryly, "Of course, Second Brother must be joking, I can't marry Gu Beihuai!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Tang Jianjun patted his chest, "I knew it was a joke. If you were to marry Gu Beihuai, what about all the punches we brothers threw in the past?"
Tang Chuxia: ...
It was not surprising that her brothers were so concerned; because of Tang Chuxia, the four brothers hadn't gone easy on Gu Beihuai before.
Thinking about it, their grudges would make it quite awkward if they were to become relatives.
Tang Jianjun slapped Tang Jianbing on the shoulder, "Little brother, why joke about such a thing? Are you trying to say that Tang's heart can take it?"
See!
No one in the family would believe such a thing.
Let alone outsiders.
Tang Chuxia quietly exhaled, thinking that she would have to be careful when hooking up with Gu Beihuai in the future. Unless it was set in stone, she would never reveal it.
She guessed that Gu Beihuai probably wouldn't do much to her, but her four brothers could certainly teach her a lesson or two about life.
Since it was already late, Tang Chuxia felt tired, too. After yawning, her two brothers left the room to let her rest.
Indeed, Tang Chuxia intended to rest, as her body was still undergoing transformation, so feeling sleepy was normal.
However, after everyone had fallen asleep, Tang Wanqiu quietly opened her bedroom door.
At this moment, it had to be said that the Tang Family's inclination to indulge their daughter over their sons was quite apparent. Even Tang Wanqiu had her own room, while the four sons had to share one big bed.
The night light shone on a pile of snow in the corner of the yard, and the reflected light was enough to make out Tang Wanqiu's features clearly.
She wrapped herself up tightly in a scarf and made sure to look back before stepping out of the door.
Nowadays, there was no curfew, but there were still patrol teams that might question people out at night, so Tang Wanqiu venturing out at this ungodly hour certainly meant she was up to something.
She tiptoed to open the gate, taking quite some time to close it properly before leaving.
Just as she breathed a sigh of relief and walked away, Tang Jianguo and Tang Jianjun behind her, rubbing their hands to keep warm, exchanged a glance, the coldness in their eyes undisguised.
"Aren't you going to stop her?"
Tang Jianjun's volatile temperament flared up. Although Tang Wanqiu wasn't their blood sister, she was still a member of the Tang Family. They couldn't just ignore her.
Tang Jianguo shook his head, "First, let's follow her and see what she's up to!"
Compared to his brother's volatility, Tang Jianguo was much more composed. However, just as they were about to follow, a small head poked out from behind them.
"Big Brother, Second Brother, where are you going?"
Tang Chuxia's smile was radiant, her cheeks, buried under her hat and scarf, glowed, and her eyes sparkled under the moonlight, like countless stars had descended into her gaze.
Her eyes twinkled, irresistibly endearing.
But the brothers, already accustomed to Tang Chuxia's beauty, were definitely not confused by it at the moment, instead, they simultaneously covered Tang Chuxia's mouth with their hands.
One brother on each side, they grabbed Tang Chuxia's arms and hoisted her up.
"What are you doing out here?"
They couldn't help but be curious. Considering Tang Chuxia's poor health, it was strange for her to be out at such a late hour instead of resting.
"Mmm mmm mmm..."
Tang Chuxia let out muffled noises, and only then did her brothers let go. Her mouth had been covered, and she indeed couldn't speak.
"I was asleep, but Tang Wanqiu made so much noise that she woke me up, didn't she?"
She spoke with righteous indignation, but the Tang siblings, who had witnessed the entire process, couldn't help but snort dismissively. If they hadn't been paying attention to the activity in Tang Wanqiu's room, they would never have noticed her.
There was activity?
Wasn't that utter nonsense?
"Hey, if we don't keep up, we're going to lose her!" Tang Chuxia pointed at the alleyway where the figure had just disappeared and urged her two older brothers.
Tang and Second Brother Tang helplessly warned Tang Chuxia, "No matter what you see later, you must not act rashly!"
Tang Chuxia promised repeatedly, and she was finally allowed to follow.
The three siblings were no fools and were quite capable. Even while tracking Tang Wanqiu at night, she hardly noticed them.
What the three of them hadn't expected was that Tang Wanqiu wasn't going straight to Hu Mingcheng, but instead heading to South City.
In Quan City, South City was different from their own area. It was mostly slums and was inhabited by poor people. Often, four or five families would live in one courtyard, so close that turning over in bed you could bump into someone.
In such a place, as you can imagine, there's a mix of all sorts of people.
The siblings exchanged glances, all seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.
But that didn't stop them from continuing their pursuit.
Fortunately, there were plenty of hiding spots around, and even the patrol teams were too lazy to come by.
They saw Tang Wanqiu arrive at the gate of a dilapidated courtyard. She didn't knock, but fumbled around the door frame for a while, then took out a key and unlocked the gate.
She looked around cautiously on both sides of the gate.
Two minutes after she closed the courtyard gate, Tang Chuxia and her brothers approached the entrance.
Tang Jianjun immediately climbed up the wall to peer into the yard.
Tang Jianguo walked around the yard's perimeter while Tang Chuxia, straightforward as ever, went to the courtyard gate, peeked through the crack, and saw a bolt securing it from the inside.
She really was cautious.
"Let's go!"
Tang Jianjun, having scouted sufficiently, crouched on the wall and extended his hand to Tang Chuxia.
Tang Chuxia: ...
She was not incapable of climbing over walls, but was it really okay for her second brother to break in so brazenly?
Giving her no time to hesitate, Tang got hold of Tang Chuxia's waist and boosted her up, and Tang Jianjun pulled her up to stand on the wall.
He covered Tang Chuxia's mouth and led her as they both jumped into the courtyard.
Tang closely followed.
Once inside the yard, Tang Chuxia understood why her second brother was so bold; the house had no lights on, and it was in a state of disrepair, with the interior visible. Tang Wanqiu was nowhere to be seen.
"Over here!"
Tang Jianjun led Tang Chuxia to the back of the yard and pointed at a section of the courtyard wall.
Tang Chuxia looked at the wall in shock, and then at Tang.
"Maybe we should just climb the wall?"
Tang Chuxia was reluctant and looked to Tang, hoping he would rein in her second brother.
Tang nodded, "I'll climb over. Second brother, you take our sister this way!"
With that, Tang grabbed a protrusion on the wall and used it to vault himself over.
"Hehe, little sister, don't fret! Wasn't this your favorite thing to do before? Let your brother help you relive those days!"
Second Brother Tang pointed at a hole in the wall, grinning lewdly.
Tang Chuxia: ...thanks a lot!
