Chapter 507: Chapter 507: Feels Like an Affair
Sitting on the couch, Song Jingtian opened a bag of potato chips, munching on one himself, feeding a piece to the Corgi, and then sparing a small piece for Tang Li.
On the TV, the animated film “Coco” was playing.
After watching for a while, Tang Li suddenly rembered another matter and turned her head to see Song Jingtian picking at his feet, his shiny eyes fixed on the cartoon, seemingly bored, so she decided to strike up a conversation with him: “How about a bet?”
The little guy looked over suspiciously.
“I bet you can’t get into the affiliate high school of Huangyan Military Academy.”
Hearing this, Song Jingtian gave her a sideways glance.
Tang Li continued: “In a few years, you’ll study abroad.”
From news reports in her previous life, after Song Baiyan’s death, the Song Family’s situation was also briefly ntioned. Tang Li vaguely rembered a line saying, “Song Baiyan’s younger brother was sent to study in Canada at an early age and did not return.” She might have rembered the country of Song Jingtian’s overseas studies wrong, but she was certain that he was not in the country at that ti.
“Nonsense.” The little guy was sowhat unhappy: “I want to go to the affiliate high school, my big brother knows that, he even said the military academy is good and told to work hard.”
Tang Li: “…”
Song Jingtian was lying on the armrest of the sofa, sizing her up: “You haven’t answered yet, how did you get into Tan Palace?”
“Actually—” eting his curious gaze, Tang Li’s words took a turn before leaving her mouth: “There’s a hidden dog hole near the South Gate.”
“So, you crawled through a dog hole to get in?”
Tang Li didn’t deny it and took a sip of water.
“You should be careful then.” The little guy lifted his left leg over his right leg, glanced towards the door and said, “There are 90 housekeeping staff here, and another seventy or eighty work staff, not to ntion the special service personnel. You’d better not tell Aunt Min that you ca in through a dog hole. Not everyone is willing to cover for you like I am.
Also, you better block the hole with sothing when you crawl out later. If the special service personnel find out, it’ll be harder for you to get in next ti.”
Song Baiyan ca upstairs and pushed open the living room door, seeing Song Jingtian chatting up close with Tang Li. The little guy, alert to his surroundings, saw his own big brother and imdiately ran over. The first thing he said was to snitch: “Big brother, Tang Li just said that you would send abroad in the future and probably don’t want anymore.”
“…” Tang Li.
Song Baiyan touched the little guy’s head: “Want to study abroad?”
“I don’t want to.” Song Jingtian hugged his big brother’s waist: “I want to go to military school like before, to beco a soldier who protects the country.”
Tang Li smiled silently; the cheeky kid didn’t say this on the lawn.
Then, she sensed Song Baiyan’s gaze on her.
Apart from the gentleness when talking to Song Jingtian, there was a depth in the man’s eyes when they fell upon her, causing her to feel embarrassed—a depth where Tang Li faintly interpreted an affectionate aning, making her cheeks involuntarily flush red.
“I’ll just use the restroom.”
Tang Li stood up and opened a door on another side of the living room.
After closing the restroom door, she leaned on it, seeing her flushed face in the mirror. She sat on the toilet for two or three minutes, then washed her hands and left.
Yet she hadn’t gone far when suddenly she was pulled into the room next to her.
The space was dark and cramped, like a storage room.
Tang Li’s startled cry was stifled in her throat, because she guessed who it was. Slling Song Baiyan’s familiar scent, as her eyes adjusted to the darkness, she searched for the man’s mouth and kissed towards it. After missing twice, their lips finally pressed together.
