Do You Live Here Too?

Amused, Xu Li stroked Meng Qingqing's head. "Well, you can hit it next time to relieve your anger."

Hearing this, Lu Peian glanced at Xu Li.

When the car arrived at the station, the door opened with a creak. Xu Li and Meng Qingqing got out of the car, followed by Lu Peian.

Meng Qingqing held Xu Li's hand and chattered about her precious dolls along the way. When they arrived at her house, she waved goodbye to Xu Li, who continued walking forward.

Xu Li did not hear the footsteps behind her stop. She turned around and saw Lu Peian following her at a distance. The atmosphere was inexplicably awkward. Xu Li scratched her head and tried to find something to talk about. "Do you live here too?"

Lu Peian nodded. "Building 27."

Xu Li vaguely remembered that Building 27 was occupied by a pair of old folks. Their children did not live here. The old folks were kind-hearted and treated the children in the community well. Occasionally, when they passed by Building 27 while they were playing, the old folks would give them snacks to eat.

Xu Li stopped and waited for Lu Peian to walk to the side before walking side by side with him. "Are you the grandson of Grandfather Lu and Grandmother Lu?"

Lu Peian stopped in his tracks and hummed in agreement.

Xu Li was not someone who would liven up the atmosphere, and Lu Peian did not speak much either. The two of them did not speak along the way. When they arrived at Building 19, Xu Li stopped and waved at Lu Peian. "I'm here. Goodbye."

"Mm." Lu Peian hummed and added, "Goodbye."

When Xu Li entered, the first thing she saw was a cobblestone path. There were beautiful flowers and plants on both sides of the path. There was also a small fountain with a few fat carps swimming in it.

Just as Xu Li was changing her shoes at the entrance, Aunt Wang came out of the kitchen with a plate. "Li Li, you're back so early? Wait a moment. There are still two dishes left."

Aunt Wang was the nanny of the Xu family. She had been working in the Xu family for more than ten years and had watched Xu Li grow up. After Xu Li's mother passed away, it was Aunt Wang who took care of Xu Li and treated her better than her own child.

Xu Li responded and went upstairs. Her room was on the third floor, and the entire floor was her territory. There was a bedroom, a study, a cloakroom, a gym, and a piano room.

After going upstairs, Xu Li went to take a shower. Then, she went to the study to lay out the rice paper and began to grind the ink.

Xu Li had a bad temper when she was young and often got into fights with people. Her father, Xu Baifu, had to deal with the parents who came to complain every other day. Later on, Xu Baifu could not take it anymore. He heard that learning calligraphy could calm people's minds, so he spent a lot of money to hire a calligraphy teacher. He originally wanted her to learn small script that was suitable for girls, but Xu Li did not like it. In the end, she forcefully changed it to semi-cursive script.

Initially, Xu Baifu was still worried about whether a girl would be able to learn semi-cursive script. However, Xu Li became more energetic and restrained his temper. No parents came to complain, so he just let her be.

Xu Li was usually a lazy person, but when she really did things, she could still calm down. The article that Zhang Jian asked her to copy was also her favorite ancient article, so she copied it very seriously. She lowered her eyes, her movements were fast and steady, and her brush moved like a dragon or snake…

After the last stroke, there was a knock on the study door. "Li Li, the meal is ready. Come down and eat."

Xu Li responded and put the brush aside. Rubbing her wrist, she walked out of the study.

After the meal, Xu Li continued to copy. She did not like to delay when she was doing things. By the time she finished copying ten texts, it was already past 11 p.m. She glanced at the clock. Between sleeping and doing her homework, she decisively chose to sleep!

The next morning, Xu Li had just arrived at school. She lay on the table and started sleeping again. When Meng Qingqing came to ask her for her homework, she remembered that she had not done her homework!

"I didn't write it either. Go find Chen Qiqi and do mine too." Xu Li stuffed her homework book into Meng Qingqing's hands.

Meng Qingqing went to look for Chen Qiqi. She sat in her seat and buried her head in copying two sets of homework. After she finished copying, she did not wake Xu Li, who was still catching up on her sleep, and handed in the test paper directly.

Xu Li did not sleep well last night. Even in her dreams, she was copying textbooks, so she was in a daze listening to the morning class… After lunch, Zhang Jian called her to the office. Xu Li yawned and got up slowly. She took the completed textbooks and went to the office to report.

"Aiyo, you wrote quite quickly." Zhang Jian flipped through it like a treasure and nodded in satisfaction. "Alright, seeing that your completion rate is so high, I won't talk about you copying homework."

Xu Li was about to leave, but when she heard this, she turned around. "What?"
