Tang Mingtuo, two years older than Zong Mingde, grew up together in an orphanage, studying and practicing martial arts together. He has a deep brotherly affection for Zong Mingde.
This affection is one-sided. Although Tang Mingtuo values Zong Mingde very much, Zong Mingde doesn't pay much attention to Tang Mingtuo. This is not specific to Tang Mingtuo; Zong Mingde generally has an indifferent attitude towards the children in the orphanage. He is extremely self-centered and tired of interacting and communicating with others.
On the other hand, Tang Mingtuo's personality is the opposite of Zong Mingde's. He is very upright and friendly in his interactions with others. In short, words like kindness, integrity, and sense of responsibility are all applicable to him.
According to common sense, two people at opposite extremes like this should be incompatible. However, for some unknown reason, Tang Mingtuo values Zong Mingde very much and is very curious and concerned about him. He tries every means to get close to him and befriend him.
Many people even speculated that Tang Mingtuo had a different sexual orientation from his peers. However, after a long period of time, when Tang Mingtuo officially started dating Yu as his girlfriend, such speculations gradually disappeared.
No one knows why Tang Mingtuo pays so much attention to Zong Mingde. This strange phenomenon has gradually been accepted by everyone over time.
And at this moment, Tang Mingtuo is standing in front of his girlfriend Yu's house, looking curiously at another girl inside, Bai Xuyu.
"Um, who is this, a guest?" Tang Mingtuo hesitated for a moment and used the term "guest" because he knew that Yu would never let someone stay and live in her house. However...
However, the girl inside the house didn't look like a guest at all. She had the air of someone who was already accustomed to living there, which made Tang Mingtuo consider his choice of words.
"Her name is Bai Xuyu. She's been freeloading here and refusing to leave. You came just in time. Help me find a way to get rid of her..." Yu said, then added the second half of the sentence, "If you can't, you'll be sleeping outside tonight."
After saying these two sentences, Yu went into the house and sat at the table, pretending to read a book. However, it seemed like she was just putting on a show and not actually reading seriously.
Tang Mingtuo, who was left outside the door, didn't have as many ideas as Zong Mingde. He was more straightforward. He took off his shoes and walked up to Bai Xuyu, intending to persuade her to leave. But he quickly realized that it might not be appropriate to talk to a girl in such a condescending manner, so he immediately squatted down, presenting a friendly and approachable big brother image.
"Bai Xuyu, can we talk about something?" Tang Mingtuo asked.
"No." Bai Xuyu didn't even lift her head. Her eyes remained fixed on the TV, rejecting Tang Mingtuo like this.
This expectedly comical situation made Yu, who was standing by, quietly chuckle. To avoid drawing attention, she deliberately picked up her book and covered her smile.
"Why not? I haven't said anything yet," Tang Mingtuo persisted.
"Do you think I'm stupid? I heard your conversation. I won't leave here," Bai Xuyu replied.
Yu laughed even harder, her shoulders shaking uncontrollably.
Tang Mingtuo awkwardly chuckled and continued the conversation with Bai Xuyu.
"Why? Why do you insist on not leaving here?"
At this point, Bai Xuyu finally glanced at Tang Mingtuo and said, "Because... Yu sister took away my first time as a young girl..."
