The next day.
Once again, Li Zexuan slept until the sun was high in the sky before he woke up. Thinking about how he had woken up too late yesterday and hadn't been able to cultivate, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. Previously, he had wanted to cultivate the "Scripture of Supreme Mystery" to the ninth level. It wouldn't do for him to slack off like this. Thus, he sat cross-legged on the bed and circulated the "Scripture of Supreme Mystery" a few times.
"Brother, brother."
Lan Er's soft voice came from outside. Then, he heard light footsteps walking towards the door.
Sigh, this girl would wake him up every morning like an alarm clock. Every time, she would barge in without even knocking on the door. This was not a good habit. What if one day he was in the room with Xiao Xi … Bah, wrong. What if one day he was in the room with his future wife doing something embarrassing and this girl barged in and ruined it?
Li Zexuan would never admit that he had feelings for Xiao Xi. Xiao Xi was still a thirteen year old child. He was definitely not a lolicon. In order to get rid of his sister's bad habit, Li Zexuan decided to punish her a little.
In a flash, he hid behind the door. Just then, he heard Lan Er's footsteps walking towards the door. As expected, Lan Er didn't have the habit of knocking on the door. She directly pushed the door open and ran towards the inner room.
"Brother, big lazy worm, wake up quickly."
Lan Er started shouting before she reached the bed. When she reached the bed, she naturally found that it was empty.
"Eh, where is brother? Why is he gone? "
Lan Er was about to turn around and ask Sister Xiao He when she suddenly saw a face with white eyes (Naturally, it was Li Zexuan who was rolling his eyes). A big tongue was sticking out and moving towards her little face …
After three seconds, an ear-piercing scream suddenly rang through the Li Residence West Courtyard. "Ah ~ ~ ~!"
Lan Er screamed in horror. She closed her eyes and used her hands to hit the monster in front of her. She didn't want him to eat her. She prayed that her brother would come quickly to save her.
"Lan Er, Lan Er, what's wrong?"
Li Zexuan was shocked by Lan 'er's reaction. He was afraid that Lan' er would be too scared, so he quickly held Lan 'er's shoulders with both hands and spoke gently to Lan' er.
Lan-er only dared to open her eyes when she heard her brother's voice. When she saw that her brother was really in front of her, she hurriedly ran over and hugged her brother.
"Big Brother, where did you go? Just now, there was a demon with a big tongue who wanted to eat Lan 'er.
Li Zexuan didn't expect that he would scare Lan 'er to tears. He secretly blamed himself, but now that things had come to this, he could only make the best of it. Otherwise, Lan' er wouldn't let him off easily.
"Lan 'er, did you not knock on the door when you came in?"
"Um, no." Lan 'er sobbed.
"Lan 'er, the monster you saw just now is actually a door demon. If you don't knock when you enter the room, he will come out if he's in a bad mood and will only eat young ladies." Li Zexuan began to trick her.
"Ah, don't eat Lan 'er. Lan' er doesn't taste good. Lan 'er will knock on the door next time."
Lan 'er immediately became scared.
"Um, as long as Lan 'er knocks on the door, the demon won't come out. Lan' er, don't cry."
Li Zexuan was very happy to trick children now, but when Lan 'er grew up and remembered this incident, he would regret what he did today. But that's a story for the future, so let's not talk about it for now.
After coaxing Lan 'er, Li Zexuan went to wash up and eat breakfast.
Li Zexuan woke up late every morning, so Mrs. Li told the kitchen to leave a portion of breakfast for the two of them and Lan 'er, who woke up early, to eat together. At this moment, Li Zexuan was eating breakfast alone in the front hall. He happened to see his parents walk in. His father even had dark circles under his eyes.
"Father, Mother, why are you here? Let's eat together!"
Li Zexuan greeted his parents as he ate.
"Xuan 'er, hurry up and eat. Your father and I have already eaten."
Mrs. Li said with a smile as she and Li Jingmo sat on the bench next to him. Mrs. Li sat down and looked at Li Zexuan with a smile. Her face was full of love, and the more she looked at him, the wider her smile became. Li Zexuan felt his hair stand on end under his mother's gaze. He thought to himself, I haven't done anything bad recently.
"Mother, if you have something to say, just tell me. I can't eat with you staring at me like that."
Li Zexuan said helplessly. He really couldn't eat with his mother staring at him.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. I just came to ask if you're short on money recently."
Li Zexuan was stunned. He didn't expect that his parents were here to give him pocket money. Generally, people would ask their parents for pocket money. Which parents would take the initiative to give pocket money to their children? Li Zexuan was a little touched at this moment. He smiled and said, "Mother, I don't lack pocket money recently."
Mrs. Li was a little disappointed. Last night, she heard her husband tell her everything about Li Zexuan at the ready-made clothing store. As a mother, she was happier than anyone else that her son was successful. However, she was a little too happy. She was so excited that she didn't sleep well the whole night. She kept asking Li Jingmo about the details. Li Jingmo had already told her about it seven or eight times, but she still didn't get tired of it. Just like that, Li Jingmo was tormented the whole night and woke up with dark circles under his eyes.
Hearing that her son had woken up, Mrs. Li hurriedly pulled Li Jingmo over. She wanted to give her son some motherly love. After all, her son had been away from home for so many years. As a mother, she was trying her best to treat her son better.
"Xuan 'er, if you're short on money, just tell me. You have to spend money to eat and drink with your friends. Don't embarrass yourself. Don't worry about money. Your father has plenty of money. He earns so much money for you to spend. Don't be afraid of spending money."
Mrs. Li got up and patted Li Zexuan's back. Her face was full of love as she encouraged him to be a prodigal son.
Hearing this, Li Jingmo almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Just as he was about to object, he was glared at by Mrs. Li. Of course, Li Jingmo didn't dare to glare back. He could only glare fiercely at his son. He thought angrily in his heart. Ever since this brat came back, his status in the family had plummeted. Yesterday, he told Mrs. Li that this brat knew how to do mathematics. After that, this brat's status rose again. Now, he was the ancestor of the family. In the future, he definitely couldn't tell Mrs. Li about this kind of thing.
Li Zexuan was also dumbfounded after hearing his mother's words. What does this mean? Is she telling me to quickly become a prodigal son? Li Zexuan felt that the world was changing too quickly. He couldn't understand it.
He muttered to his mother.
"En, thank you mother. If I'm short on money, I'll ask mother for it."
Seeing that his father didn't say a word, Li Zexuan thought that his father was unhappy because he was only talking to his mother. He shamelessly struck up a conversation with his father.
"Father, why didn't you go to the shop today?"
Li Jingmo originally planned to go to the shop in Xi City this afternoon to take a look. After all, the clothing shop hadn't found a new shopkeeper yet. He was also a little worried. However, after hearing his son's words, he remembered that Mrs. Li had just said that she earned so much money for Li Zexuan to spend. Suddenly, his motivation to earn money was not as strong as before. His old face darkened as he said in a bad mood,
"Why do you need to care? I'm not going today … Erm, cough, I think there's nothing going on at the shop today, so I don't plan to go. "
It was Li Jingmo's father who felt the slight murderous intent in his wife's eyes. He changed his words and used a gentle tone to speak.
Li Jingmo's father felt that he couldn't stay in the front hall any longer. He hurriedly put his hands behind his back and went back to sleep in the East Courtyard.
Li Zexuan could see that his father was afraid of his mother. His father's status in this family was really low. He even sympathized with his father. He didn't know what was wrong with his mother today for her to suddenly be so enthusiastic, but he couldn't be bothered to care about it now. Under his mother's loving gaze, he hurriedly finished his breakfast and fled to the backyard to play with Lan 'er.
