Chapter 181 A Bad Guy Knocking on the Door?

After lunch, the brothers originally wanted to take the two sisters to the temple fair, but Cui Mei suggested it.

"You all have to go back to school to finish your studies. There's no atmosphere like that at home. Since you're already at school, let's not waste that time. Go back and study hard. I'm a grown man, so I'll take Xiaojiu and go for a walk. If there's nothing else, we'll go back in the next couple of days. Come find us when it's time for your dinner."

These past two days they've been airing out their quilts, washing their sheets and blankets, and tidying up in the dorm. It's a bit cold, but these kids have always been diligent, and after more than half a month, it wouldn't be right not to wash them!

Tao Zui has already started school, while Zhou Yue and the other girl started school on the ninth day of the lunar new year. It's only been a few days, and there will be exams right after school starts. That's why the two of them came with Tao Zui – they wanted to take advantage of these few days to review.

Now that Cuimei is here, the brothers have nothing to worry about. Of course, before leaving, they remind their sister not to run around, especially not like she did this morning.

Cui Mei's main purpose in coming to the city this time was to see if there was an opportunity to earn some money and exchange it for tickets, so wandering around was also a kind of opportunity. After seeing her brothers off, she asked around and found out what was going on.

"The temple fair only lasts from the first to the fifth day of the lunar new year, my dear. It's already over! The next one will be on the fifteenth and sixteenth of the first lunar month. You can come back then!"

Well, wasted trip?

Xiao Jiu is so clever. Knowing that Cui Mei didn't just come to see him off, he pretended to be full and sleepy and started yawning.

"Sis, since there's nothing, let's go back. I'm sleepy. If you have something to do, you can go take care of it. I'm going back to sleep."

She earned over twenty yuan today and also received thirty jin of meat coupons. She was content and didn't plan to exchange them for grain coupons; she would just go home like this.

Cui Mei returned the small bottle of wine to the guesthouse. "You'd better promise me you won't go out to play. If you get lost, I'll be a sinner."

"Okay, sis. Go have fun, don't worry about me."

Xiao Jiu was just a child and didn't have much energy. After Cui Mei left, she actually fell asleep and was then woken up by a knock on the door.

I glanced at the clock in the space. It was only 3:30. The sun hadn't set yet. Could it be that my sister has returned?

She rubbed her eyes groggily and sat up, asking, "Who is it?"

The person outside didn't answer. She frowned. "Who is it, sis? Is that you?"

Still no one responded.

By this time, most of the drowsiness has already dissipated, but there's no answer when you knock on the door.

If she were a child, she might actually unlatch the door, but she's an adult, so she definitely can't do that.

So she snorted, "I won't open the door unless you tell me who it is."

However, the other party was surprisingly patient and kept knocking, knocking slowly and deliberately. In any case, if you don't open the door, I'll keep knocking.

Annoyed by the knocking, Xiao Jiu shouted out the window, "Help! Someone's knocking on my door! Someone's a bad guy!"

As soon as she shouted, no one knocked on the door anymore. The waiter downstairs ran out of the lobby and looked up, just in time to see her standing by the window.

"What's wrong, little sister? What bad guy?"

"Sister, please go to my door and see who's been knocking on it, or if anyone has been there. I asked him who he was, but he won't answer and keeps knocking. He must be a bad guy. My sister said we should never open the door to strangers. This person is suspicious."

Upon hearing this, the waiter was alarmed and quickly ran to the corridor to find someone...
