Pretty and charming, dressed in the 90s, she's good at everything from making money to causing

Jiang Zong felt he had found an extremely perfect reason.

He also gave himself an excuse—

What if some of those people slipped through the net and sneaked into the door in the middle of the night?

He has to protect Tingting!

Jiang Zong found the most suitable excuse for himself and stayed without any problem.

There are two bedrooms here, one for Lin Ting and the other naturally for him.

This wasn't the first time they'd lived next door to each other; on the train, the distance between them was less than a meter.

But hotels are different from trains, this is...

Family.

Jiang Zong asked Lin Ting, "Tingting, are you cold? Do you want me to get you another blanket?"

Lin, who was behind the door, replied, "No need, it's warm enough."

"Would you like some water?"

"No need."

"Then... what time should I call you tomorrow?"

"Ugh... Tomorrow at 8 AM!"

"..."

Got it, I need to get up by 7 a.m. at the latest.

Living at home is definitely more comfortable than in the dormitory. The bed is big, the blankets are soft, and the heating is good. The only downside is that you have to get up earlier.

Jiang Zong set an alarm, but then, still feeling uneasy, he called Uncle Nie: "Uncle Nie, please call me at six o'clock tomorrow morning."

Uncle Nie responded first, then asked with some confusion, "Young Master, you weren't in your dormitory tonight?"

"……Um!"

For some reason, Jiang Zong was a little nervous, and his palms were slightly sweaty.

I have this inexplicable feeling of being caught doing something wrong.

Uncle Nie didn't pay much attention, as he knew that Jiang Zong had bought a house outside.

In fact, Uncle Nie always thought it was a miracle that the young master had only now moved out to live alone.

Jiang Zong was about to say goodnight and hang up when Uncle Nie suddenly asked, "Young Master, is Miss with you?"

Jiang Zong: "..."

He was silent for three seconds, then asked instead of answering, "Is there something you need?"

Uncle Nie said, "It's like this, the second wife just called me and said that Boss Yang has been making a lot of moves lately, and if needed, the second wife is willing to use the Zhong family's past connections to help her."

Ever since Jiang Bao's funeral, Zhong Jiaqing's attitude towards Jiang Zong has completely changed.

Jiang Zong said vaguely, "I'll ask her tomorrow."

I can't ask today, because Tingting should already be asleep.

Besides, it's late at night, so it's not a good idea to knock on a girl's door.

And... Uncle Nie should go to sleep too, stop communicating back and forth...

Anyway, it's not because he doesn't want Uncle Nie to know that he's here today too.

"Okay, then I won't call you, Miss."

"Okay, goodnight."

"Good night."

The next day.

It was still dark at six o'clock when Jiang Zong turned off the alarm clock and answered Uncle Nie's call.

"Thank you, Uncle Nie. I'm awake."

"Okay, then remember to eat breakfast."

"Ah."

Jiang Zong got up, quietly went to the bathroom furthest from Lin Ting's bedroom to wash up, then took a book and waited quietly for seven o'clock to arrive.

At seven o'clock, the sky was just beginning to brighten.

Jiang Zong, carrying a cup of warm water, knocked on Lin Ting's door.

"Listen, get up."

"..."

"Listen, get up."

"..."

"Listen... I've come in?"

"..."

There was still no reply.

It should be tacit approval.

Jiang Zong slowly turned the doorknob and pushed open the door with somewhat rapid breathing.

The room was pitch black, with the curtains drawn tightly shut, and only Lin Ting's soft breathing could be heard.

Jiang Zong walked to the bedside in the dark and turned on a night light.

Lin Ting was sleeping soundly and was not disturbed at all by having the light on.

She curled up in the thick quilt, her long hair spread out on the pillow, clutching a teddy bear tightly in her arms.

Teddy Bear was awake, staring at Jiang Zong with his big, round, dark eyes.

"Listen, get up."

Jiang Zong looked at Lin Ting's fair and delicate face, which was as smooth as tofu, and couldn't help but reach out and poke it.

So soft.

"Well……"

Lin Ting snorted softly, raised her hand to rub her face, and then buried her face in the teddy bear's arms, showing no intention of getting up.

"Listen..."

Jiang Zong unconsciously lowered his voice: "How about I help you ask for leave?"

She was sleeping so soundly that he couldn't bear to wake her.

"Ask for leave?"

These two words, however, brought Lin Ting to her senses.

She opened her eyes, still sleepy, and looked at Jiang Zong beside the bed: "Huh? What are you doing here?"

Jiang Zong: "I've come to wake you up."

"Hmm...boys are allowed into the girls' dorms now?"

"..."

I still wasn't fully awake.

"Listen to this." Jiang Zong poked her cheek again. "Are you getting up, or should I ask for leave for you?"

"Ask for leave……"

Just as Jiang Zonggang was about to nod, she continued:

"I have no reason."

Realizing this tragic reality, Lin Ting's voice trembled with tears.

She, Boss Lin, was contributing to the stability of the city yesterday, and today she has to get up early to catch the 8 AM rush.

Is this reasonable?

Is this the treatment Mr. Lin deserves?

Lin Ting lingered in bed for a while before finally making up her mind and reaching out to Jiang Zong: "Brother, give me a hand."

Jiang Zong grabbed her hand and pulled her up.

He asked somewhat uncertainly, "Are you really awake?"

Lin Ting replied with a look of utter despair, "My body has already awakened."

"And what about the soul?"

"The soul does not speak in its dreams."

"..."

Lin Ting dawdled as she got dressed and got out of bed, but even after washing up, she couldn't wake up.

Later, she reflected and realized that she had done a very good job getting up today. She neither got grumpy in the morning nor lost her temper and continued to sleep.

This is a rare and excellent performance, worthy of being recorded and praised.

Moreover, Jiang Zong boiled water in the morning, and washing his face with hot water felt much more comfortable.

It helps you stay asleep during class.

Before leaving, she made a phone call to Zhang Liang.

"Boss, you're awake?" Zhang Liang asked in utter surprise.

He kept checking the time but didn't dare call Lin Ting!

The boss's irritating, unrecognizable demeanor when he first woke up was something he couldn't handle.

"Hmm, you're awake?" Lin Ting asked with a yawn. "How's things going in Shenzhen?"

"Ten thousand photos were printed early this morning," Zhang Liang reported. "Now Boss Yang's people have gone to distribute the photos."

"Uh-huh?"

Lin Ting was now completely sober: "Boss Yang sent his people there personally? He wouldn't be that crazy, would he?"

Now that there is neither Yang Meiyun nor Lin Ting in Shenzhen, if Yang Libo were to step forward now, wouldn't that be tantamount to blatantly mocking Du Yucheng and shouting "Fire at me!"?

“No, I didn’t explain clearly,” Zhang Liang said. “I found some casual work at the labor market.”

"That's good... that's good."

Lin Ting rubbed her eyes. "Go to the airport as soon as possible. Don't stay in Shenzhen any longer. Call me before you board the plane."

"Good boss."

Lin Ting hung up the phone, feeling a little regretful.

If only it were ten years from now, she could watch the live broadcast directly via video.

Now all we can do is sit in the classroom and wait for news.

The worst thing is that I still have to sit in the classroom.
