Provocation

  Tang Qin and Jiang Li had dinner together, during which they were forced to listen to each other's nagging. The conversation started with "don't be fooled by a friend's wife" and escalated to personal morality, social harmony, national stability, and finally world peace... Tang Qin was initially confused, but later realized that the man was afraid she would steal his wife.

  Tang Qin was almost killed in an instant, he was depressed, his goal was that man, which eye did he see that he had a crush on that woman?!

  Then express loyalty, then point to heaven and swear, then easily make the other party barely believe in one's innocence, chastity and character.

  Finally, Tang Qin finished a meal that was hard to swallow, and her face looked terrible. Perhaps because he thought his attitude was not bad, Jiang Li was very happy to express his willingness to accompany him to buy daily necessities. After all, borrowing someone's home, it's impossible to rely on the owner to take care of everything. Besides, Jiang Li didn't want the girl he liked to be busy arranging life for another man... One Yang Zhan was already enough!

  ……

  "Brother Jiang, actually I can just come by myself, really." Tang Qin said helplessly as she pushed the shopping cart with Jiang Li in the supermarket. Apart from buying toothbrushes, toothpaste, towels and a washbasin for him, he would occasionally turn into the fresh vegetable and fruit section, then grab a bag of potatoes or some sliced pork and toss it into the cart, quickly filling up the entire space with very ordinary and everyday items.

  If it weren't for the fact that they were of the same sex, this would look like a loving young couple living a sweet life... and precisely because they were of the same sex, Tang Qing felt even more awkward.

  Nowadays, girls are so crazy about BL!

  "It's okay, we'll just buy more vegetables and go find Xiao Xiao for dinner." Jiang Li was half-expecting and half-reluctant: "I'm going to be away on business for several days and won't be able to see Xiao Xiao, leaving her alone here is really not reassuring..." As he said this, his gaze involuntarily drifted towards Tang Qing, clearly indicating that one of the reasons he wasn't reassured was Tang Qing herself...

  "...Tang Qin wiped her face and asked in a dilemma: "Or should I just stay at the hotel?"

  Jiang Li's eyes lit up for a moment, but soon dimmed again: "This isn't very good, Xiaoxiao will get angry if she finds out."

  "...Don't worry, when I'm living there, I'll definitely only talk to Yang Ge, and the distance from your home will never be less than three meters." This is really too much, how can there be such a silly man in this world?!

  Tang Qin now can't help but wish that time would turn back, to the bus where she lost her wallet, and catch the little thief who stole from her and give him a good beating. If she hadn't lost her wallet and phone, would she have encountered all these things?! Originally thought that accidentally approaching the target was a surprise, didn't expect now it's a disaster. After finishing work, he will definitely leave immediately, also to avoid his own mental collapse.

  Jiang Li was overjoyed: "That's great, I... oh, there are fresh big prawns, Xiaoxiao loves big prawns the most!"

  Watching the little boy roll up his sleeves and rush towards the seafood counter, Tang Qin's face collapsed as she grabbed her phone and dialed: "Hello? You damn bastard, what kind of tour is this? First, get someone to send me some stuff, I lost my eating utensils... Haha, damn it, didn't expect that I'd also have a day where I got robbed... Hurry up! Yeah, I'm really in a hurry, can't take it anymore..."

  After a while, when Jiang Li finally returned with a bag of fresh prawns that he was satisfied with, Tang Qin had already hung up the phone and resumed her dying look: "Have you finished buying everything?"

  Seeing the shopping cart's space potential was really unable to be dug out anymore, Jiang Li finally nodded: "Hmm, go settle the bill!"

  Then lined up to settle the bill, drove the car and put everything on it. Jiang Li was about to get into the driver's seat when Tang Qin suddenly spoke up: "I still have something to do, Brother Jiang, you go back first, I'll just take two bucks to ride the bus."

  Jiang Li didn't understand: "Your friends have all gone traveling, and in this city you don't know anyone else, what could there be to do?"

  "This... actually I came here not just to see friends, but also have some official business to attend to." Tang Qin replied hesitantly.

  Thinking of the other's glorious record of losing wallet and phone on the train not long ago, he was afraid that after losing it, Xiang would mistakenly think he had destroyed the evidence. Jiang Li hesitated for a moment before proactively offering to accompany him: "What are you doing? I'll take you there!"

  "It's really no use, I..."

  "No need to say more, get on the bus!"

  “……”

  Driving along the address narrated by Tang Qin, they arrived at a residential building. Tang Qin's eyes were good, and as soon as he got out of the car, he found that there was already a familiar figure lurking around the entrance of the building. The other party saw Tang Qin and wanted to come over, but then saw Jiang Li getting out of the driver's seat.

  He was taken aback for a moment, then quickly pretended nothing had happened and looked away.

  Tang Qing was really helpless: "Brother Jiang, I'll just go up and press the doorbell. Whether there's someone or not, they'll come down immediately. You wait for me here?!"

  Jiang Li shook his head very seriously and insisted: "What if something happens again when you go upstairs? Anyway, it's just this short distance, I'll accompany you up." After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for the other person to make excuses a few more times, and without saying another word, he directly locked the car and walked over with an expression that clearly showed he had no intention of changing his mind.

  Tang Qin is in a dilemma, and it's even more complicated. There's an outsider following her, how can she get the goods delivered?!

  The messy and helpless look at Tang Qin, Tang Qin bites her teeth, her eyes glance in the direction of Jiang Li, and then nod slightly.

  The rascal nodded and turned back into the corridor. Tang Qing only then turned around: "Alright, then I'll trouble Brother Jiang."

  Then the two of them went upstairs together, and after climbing a few floors, the thug from earlier followed a group of people who looked like they wouldn't be easy to mess with, walking down the stairs face-to-face. The two groups of people didn't even glance at each other as if they hadn't seen each other. Later, when they met in the stairwell and brushed past each other, one of the big men suddenly stumbled and violently collided with Jiang Li's body.

  Looking at the physical contrast between the two, one was tall and sturdy, while the other was weak and thin. However, in the instant they collided, the tall and sturdy man suddenly exaggeratedly fell onto the stairs, clutching his shoulder with a pained "Ah" cry, his voice mixed with angry shouting: "You dare to bump into me?!"

  Jiang Li innocently looked back at Da Han: "Obviously it was you who bumped into me..."

  "This big brother, my friend didn't mean it."

  The big fellow gritted his teeth and cursed: "I'm dying of pain! Say it wasn't intentional, that's all!"

  The people around him cheered: "That's right! It can't be settled like this."

  Jiang Li frowned, Tang Qing was delighted by the misfortune and shouted while keeping a straight face: "Everyone calm down, don't..."

  "Damn it! Beat him up for me!"
