Above the stars

Tang Bandit was shocked and asked: "It's impossible, right? How does your mother know about our relationship?"

"My mother also watches the news. The old lady is retired, so she just scrolls through videos and watches the news when she has nothing to do. The scandal between the two of us has been on trending searches, have you forgotten?" Sheng Xinhuai looked like it was a matter of course.

"But...you didn't explain?"

"How can I explain?" Sheng Xinhuai asked in reply: "You say we are not a couple? That I am just a substitute for others?"

"."

"Just tell me, should you go or not?" Sheng Xinhuai pressed forward step by step.

Tang Bandi pondered for a moment and said, "If this is indeed what Auntie means, I should go back with you. The elders invited me, so it would be disrespectful not to go."

"Then it's settled." Sheng Xinhuai said crisply, "I'll come to pick you up later."

"There's no need to pick us up." Tang Bandit said, "You can send me an address and we can go there by ourselves. There are driverless cars and taxis everywhere, so it's a lot of trouble to pick us up."

"It works." Sheng Xinhuai nodded and said, "You have been in Xinxing for so long, you should have adapted to the lifestyle here."

"I'm going to take a driver's license test soon, and it's best to get a pilot's license in case the second prince gives me a flying car, won't I have a car to drive?" Tang Bandit said with a smile.

Sheng Xinhuai looked at Tang Bandit with squinted eyes and asked, "What? Zhong Tianyi hasn't given you the car yet?"

When Tang Bandit and Xiaopang first arrived on the new star, Zhong Tianyi said that in order to thank Tang Bandit for rescuing Phoenix, he would give Tang Bandit a flying car.

Sheng Xinhuai was also a witness at the scene. Unexpectedly, the promise has not been fulfilled until now.

Scumbag!

"Yes." Tang Bandit nodded and said, "So you women must keep your eyes open when looking for a partner. Don't be deceived by those men who are dishonest and stingy. Such men are generally unreliable."

"They can even lie to men, let alone women?"

Tang Bandit knew that the second prince Zhong Tianyi liked Sheng Xinhuai and had been pursuing Sheng Xinhuai, so he couldn't help but give him some eye drops in front of her.

Sheng Xinhuai cast a flirtatious look and said softly: "I am your girlfriend, how can I find another man? Who do you think I am?"

"."

Sure enough, Teacher Sheng was the better one and won the oral sex competition.

"Okay, it's settled. I'll go back and get ready first, waiting for the distinguished guests to come."

After saying that, he put his black coat on his body and walked outside.

After Sheng Xinhuai left, Xiaopang asked, "Brother, are we really going to Teacher Sheng's house for dinner tonight?"

"Teacher Sheng stood up to spread the scandal with me to help me and your sister Phoenix. If we don't go, it will embarrass her in front of her parents." Tang Bandi said loudly: "Although we are not good people, we can't Harming those who are willing to help us."

"Brother, I'm a good person." Xiaopang said seriously, "So is Teacher Sheng."

"."

"Brother, too." Xiaopang added: "Brother hasn't done anything bad. It's just that brother is too smart that everyone thinks you are not a good person."

"Okay, okay, don't be shy." Tang Bandi waved his hand and said, "It's my first time to go to Teacher Sheng's house. Should I bring some gifts? I just forgot to ask Teacher Sheng what his parents like."

"Brother, this is simple." Xiaopang said: "You can find it by searching on the Internet. Just search "What should my boyfriend buy when he goes to his girlfriend's house for the first time?"

"."

Tang Bandit looked at Xiaopang's smart look and asked, "Have you checked on the Internet? Why are you searching for this?"

"I saw it accidentally. It's almost Chinese New Year, and a lot of people are searching for this on the Internet. It has become a hot search." Xiaopang explained.

"Well, then I'll search too." Tang Bandit said.

"Brother, since you went to Teacher Sheng's house, is this matter settled? What should Sister Fenghuang do?" Xiaopang asked.

Before Tang Bandi had time to answer, his cell phone rang, and the caller ID showed Phoenix's number.

Tang Bandit and Xiaopang looked at each other. Does this mean that Phoenix Phoenix is ​​here?

Did the little princess install a bug on them? A phone call so soon to accuse him?

Tang Bandit connected the video call and saw Fenghuang wearing palace clothes and a formal crown. It seemed that he was participating in some grand event.

"Are you going to eat at Teacher Sheng's house?" Fenghuang said with a smile, and the first words he said made Tang Bandit feel terrified.

"Yes, I just received an invitation from Teacher Sheng." Tang Bandit said with a smile: "I was about to call you to report, but I didn't expect you to call me. What's the matter? Are you jealous?"

"Humph, I'm afraid someone didn't even think of letting me know, right?"

"How is it possible? What is there to hide about this kind of thing?" Tang Bandit turned the camera to Xiaopang and said: "Xiaopang, are we about to call your sister Phoenix?"

"Yes." Xiaopang nodded and said, "My brother is dialing the number."

"."

Tang Bandit glanced at Xiaopang somewhat depressedly. This guy always used too much force in everything he did.

"Really? Then I've been waiting for a long time, why doesn't my phone ring yet?"

"We have a mutual understanding. Just when I was about to call you, your call came." Tang Bandit explained aloud.

"Teacher Sheng has already called me and said that he was worried that you two would be too lonely during the New Year in Xinxing, so he called you home to have a meal. Let's have a lot of fun together. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and they also have a As a big family, I can no longer celebrate the New Year with you."

Fenghuang explained aloud, looked into Tang Bandi's eyes, and asked, "At this moment, do you feel that Teacher Sheng is particularly gentle, considerate, and kind-hearted?"

"The same goes for you." Tang Bandit said.

At this time, he couldn't join in praising Teacher Sheng.

Otherwise, Phoenix might have other ideas in mind.

Although he has never been in love, doesn't it matter if he has a mouth to talk about love?

"You can talk." Fenghuang was very satisfied with Tang Bandit's answer and said loudly: "I am attending a celebration abroad and can't get back for the time being. This is the first time for you and Xiaopang to go back to Teacher Sheng's house for dinner. You must not Do you know what you should bring with you?"

"As I was worrying about this matter, Xiaopang also suggested that I search it online."

Suddenly he remembered something and quickly glared at Xiaopang again, warning him not to talk nonsense.

He was afraid that Xiaopang would shout out the question he was asked to search for.

"Teacher Sheng's father is the finance minister of the empire and is in charge of the money bag of our country. He has a high position and my father respects him very much. You must be careful and don't lose etiquette in front of him."

Phoenix first briefly introduced the identity of Sheng Xinhuai's father.

"I know." Tang Bandit smiled bitterly and said: "This is also what I am worried about. I don't know how to talk to people of this status. You also know my temper, so you are afraid of accidentally saying something that will offend people. If you hate it, I'm not afraid of anything. I'm just afraid that Teacher Sheng will be in trouble."

"Although Uncle Sheng has an upright and rigorous personality, he is still a very good person. You don't need to be too nervous, just be yourself. You are not nervous in front of my father and brother, so why are you nervous in front of Uncle Sheng? "

"When I face your father and your brother, it's public, but this is private. The situation is different."

"Yo yo yo, have you made a distinction between public and private affairs?"

"."

"Uncle Sheng doesn't smoke or drink. He hates Teacher Sheng's drinking. In order to force Teacher Sheng to quit drinking, he threw all the wine out. Unexpectedly, Teacher Sheng not only failed to quit drinking, but also moved out."

"."

"So, don't give me cigarettes or wine. But Uncle Sheng likes to play a few rounds of mahjong when he has nothing to do. I have prepared a piece of mahjong made of ivory. When you give it to Uncle Sheng, he will definitely be happy."

"Ah? Have you prepared a gift for me?" Tang Bandit asked with a surprised look on his face.

"Of course." Fenghuang nodded and said, "After Teacher Sheng told me about this matter, I asked someone to prepare it for you. How can you make temporary preparations in time?"

"."

"Teacher Sheng's mother is an opera master. Although she is retired now, she still likes to sing opera."

"I found a hand-copied version of "The Drunken Concubine" by Chen Zhibai, a pear master from the old days. You can give it to Aunt Mei when the time comes, and Aunt Mei will definitely like you as her "son-in-law."

"."

Seeing Tang Bandit's dumbfounded look, Fenghuang said crisply: "What's wrong? Are you still wronged? What do you have to be wronged about? The daughter of the Chancellor of Finance, after the Grand Master, Teacher Sheng is also a famous literature professor in our empire. Still not worthy of you?"

"Teacher Sheng is naturally worthy of me. I feel that I am not worthy of Teacher Sheng."

"Why don't you deserve it? Teacher Sheng invited you home for the New Year. I prepared all the gifts for you and let you take advantage of all the good things. You still don't deserve it? I'm afraid we are not worthy of you, right?"

"."

"Okay, let's not talk anymore. The female officer next to me will send you a gift in a while. You and Xiaopang go and pay attention to yourself. I will talk about other things when I get back." Phoenix asked diligently.

"Where is Teacher Sheng?" Tang Bandit asked: "It's the first time we go back to Teacher Sheng's house. Do you want to prepare any gifts for her?"

"Of course you need to prepare Teacher Sheng's gift yourself, do you need me to prepare this too? Haven't you heard that sentence? The matchmaker will lead you through the door. Whether it is successful or not depends on the individual."

"."

Seeing Tang Bandit's deflated appearance, Fenghuang chuckled.

"Okay, no more talking, someone is coming."

"Pay attention to safety." Tang Bandit reminded him.

"Yeah." Phoenix nodded and said, "I'll go back tomorrow."

"See you when you come back." Tang Bandit nodded.

"See you when you get back."

After hanging up the phone, Xiaopang looked at Tang Bandit with envy and said, "Brother, Sister Fenghuang is so kind to you. When you go to Teacher Sheng's house, she has even prepared gifts for you."

"Yes." Tang Bandit nodded. "The hardest thing to bear is the kindness of a beautiful woman."

"Why is it so hard to bear? I see you are quite happy."

"."

"Brother, what gift do you want to buy Teacher Sheng?"

"."

——

Yanqing Street, No. 18.

Tang Bandit and Xiaopang stood at the door holding gift boxes. Xiaopang asked: "Brother, is this here?"

"That should be it. This is the address that Teacher Sheng sent." Tang Bandi confirmed the house number again before pressing the doorbell.

Soon, Sheng Xinhuai, dressed in home clothes, came to greet him.

Seeing the gifts in the hands of Tang Bandi and Xiaopang, he curled his lips and said, "Hey, have you learned how to give gifts? It seems that you have learned a lot since arriving at Xinxing?"

"Phoenix helped prepare it," Tang Bandit said frankly.

"I knew it." Sheng Xinhuai complained, invited Tang Bandit and Xiao Pang to come in, and said, "Come in and sit down. My parents are at home, and the meal will be ready soon."

"OK."

It was the first time that Tang Bandit met Sheng Xinhuai's father, Sheng Jing. His name was "Shan Shui Yi Yi" and he was unrestrained, but he was a thin old man.

Wearing a pair of huge black-framed glasses, he was unsmiling and looked a bit old-fashioned.

No wonder Fenghuang implicitly used the words "Fangzheng and rigorous" when introducing him. Thinking of Sheng Xinhuai's temperament, the father and daughter were simply incompatible with each other and had no similarities at all.

Mei Yuyin has picturesque features and is graceful and elegant. She is wearing a white cheongsam embroidered with crabapples and has an extremely good temperament.

It seems that 90% of Teacher Sheng's genes come from her mother, and 10%.

At most 0.50% comes from her father.

The Tang bandit first gave Mei Yuyin the copy of "The Drunken Concubine" handwritten by Chen Zhibai, and said: "Auntie, I heard that you like to sing opera and you are from a famous opera family. I asked someone to find a copy of "The Drunken Concubine" handwritten by Chen Zhibai. "The Drunken Concubine", I hope you like it."

"Oh," Mei Yuyin, who was making tea for everyone, said with surprise on her face, "I like Master Chen Zhibai very much and have collected many albums of his works, but the one I want most is this book "The Drunken Concubine"."

Mei Yuyin took the scroll, looked at Tang Bandit sitting in front of her with burning eyes, and said, "Tang Bandit is interested."

Gentle, comely, and bright-eyed, he is a smart kid at first glance.

Moreover, the gifts he gave were so in line with his own wishes. It seemed that he was also extremely attentive to his daughter.

How beautiful is the child they gave birth to?

"Auntie, you're welcome. This is what us juniors should do."

Sheng Jing snorted coldly from the side, not sure if it was because the Tang bandits were giving him gifts or if they were not giving him gifts.

Tang Bandit quickly picked up the box next to him and held it towards Sheng Jing, saying: "Uncle, I heard from Sheng Xinhuai that you like to play a few rounds of mahjong. I asked someone to find a mahjong picture. I wish my uncle can play well when he encounters tiles. "Flower"

Sheng Jing adjusted the glasses on the bridge of his nose, looked at Tang Bandit with a critical look, and said, "Didn't I tell you in my heart that I never accept gifts from others?"

"Dad, he is not someone else. He is a Tang gangster. He is different from those who come to you with money to do official work." Sheng Xinhuai said aloud.

"That's right." Mei Yuyin accepted Tang Bandit's gift and also spoke up: "Could Bandit Tang be someone else? Maybe he will be our son-in-law and a son-in-law in the future, and he is also an outsider."
