Chapter 19: Young man, your body is quite good

  After Xia Bai left, Little Dragon Girl looked at Tang Xiao Sheng and said softly: "Xiao Guo, don't mind what Xia Bai just said. To me, nothing else matters as long as you are Xiao Guo..."

  "Dragon child, I understand." Tang Xiao Sheng grasped her hand and softly interrupted.

  Xiaolongnv is worried about what, it's not hard to guess. In terms of conditions, Xiaobai is much better than him in all aspects except for appearance and acting skills. Tang Xiaosheng thinks that he is far inferior to Xiaobai in wealth, fame, status, and power. From the perspective of modern people, Xiaolongnv being with him is like a beautiful flower inserted into a pile of smelly cow dung without any nutritional value.

  In the original world, Little Dragon Girl and Yang Guo's romance was highly controversial due to their master-disciple relationship, and their emotional journey was also very tortuous. After finally crossing over to the 21st century and gaining new identities, they were able to shake off societal prejudices against teacher-student romances and date in peace.

  But now, one is a poor loser and the other is a spoiled rich beauty, they are just not meant to be together. In this modern society where materialism reigns, if two people want to be together, they will definitely encounter many difficulties, it's impossible for things to go too smoothly.

  Little Dragon Maiden has been here for almost a year and has some understanding of modern society. In the past two days, she has been unwilling to mention her own identity and has not mentioned the engagement at all. On the one hand, it is to take care of Tang Xiaosheng's self-esteem, and on the other hand, it is to avoid these worldly things and only wants to get along well with Yang Guo (Tang Xiaosheng).

  Although she knew that Yang Guo would not leave her because of these problems, she couldn't help but feel a little worried in her heart. In their original world, they were unable to be together due to various realistic obstacles and later separated for sixteen years, enduring the pain of longing before finally reuniting. These sixteen years should have been the most beautiful period of life, where they could have had children, grown old together, and shared a happy family life, but instead became a torturous single-minded longing.

  Xiao Long Nu didn't want to go through such experiences again, she only hoped that things could be simpler, ignoring everything outside of her own affairs, as long as she could be with Tang Xiao Sheng, it was enough.

  As for her idea, Tang Xiaosheng had already guessed seven or eight out of ten. Although he also liked beauties, he never thought of climbing high to be with a rich businessman's daughter. In his opinion, men should rely on themselves no matter what and cannot be gigolos.

  Now Xiao Longnu has taken him for Yang Guo, if he confesses that he is an imposter, it's hard to guarantee that he won't be slapped to death by Xiao Longnu. To save his life, he can only continue to pretend to be Yang Guo, take things one step at a time, and hope that everything will naturally become clear when the time comes.

  Of course, with the sudden appearance of a beautiful and wealthy girlfriend by his side, Tang Xiaosheng, as a poor and unknown actor, felt immense pressure.

  However, he himself is quite open-minded. He originally had nothing to begin with, which is a fact. He won't belittle himself or pretend to be something he's not. Everything goes naturally. Although it's a bit awkward, as long as you think of it as acting in a play, the situation becomes much easier.

  Acting is his strong point.

  It was Xiaolongnü who, after this incident, felt a bit down and seemed to be worried that Tang Xiaosheng would harbor resentment.

  To dispel her worries, after dinner, Tang Xiaosheng decided to take her out for a walk, lest the old house at home be distracted by thoughts. So he suggested: "Long Er, Xiang Er, why don't we drive into the city and take a stroll?"

  "Drive?" Little Dragon Girl's beautiful eyes flashed with confusion, "Where did the car come from?"

  It was Guo Xiang who reacted more quickly, her small hand pointing to the old bicycle in the corner of the room, and she said in a childish voice: "Brother must be talking about this one!"

  Tang Xiaosheng smiled and nodded: "Xiang'er is indeed clever, that's right. The three of us will ride our bicycles to the city district for a stroll."

  Little Dragon Girl actually didn't want to go out, she had been living in the ancient tomb since childhood, and had stayed there for over a decade, which made her an old-fashioned homebody who disliked showing off. After crossing into Long Xiaoxue's body, due to being suspected of having mental problems, she was locked in a room for a whole year, basically getting used to staying at home.

  She just didn't want to disappoint Tang Xiaosheng, who was so enthusiastic. More importantly, she was afraid that if she didn't agree to ride a bicycle with him, Tang Xiaosheng would think she was looking down on his bike for not being high-end enough.

  Although his car is indeed not of high quality.

  In short, Little Dragon Maiden finally agreed to go out for a walk, and Guo Xiang naturally wouldn't stay home alone either, so they set out together.

  A bicycle can seat three people. In theory, this is not a difficult task. As long as one person sits on the frame, one person sits on the back seat, and another person sits in the driver's position.

  However, this requires a relatively high level of riding skills for the driver, not only requiring strong leg strength but also extremely good balance. In these two aspects, Tang Xiaosheng basically meets the requirements.

  In the past six years, he has been traveling back and forth between his rental house and the film and television city every day to shoot films. A round-trip ride is over 10 kilometers. In a few years, he has already ridden five second-hand bicycles, with a total mileage of at least 20,000 kilometers, and his cycling skills are not bad at all.

  Then, Tang Xiaosheng, Little Dragon Girl and Guo Xiang rode a bicycle together, strolling along the streets of Jinghua City, their behavior attracted many onlookers.

  In the city, although there are not a few people riding bicycles, it is extremely rare for three people to ride one bicycle. As for two beautiful women sitting on an old broken bicycle, this scene is almost never seen. This scene is even more impressive than driving a top-of-the-line Mercedes-Benz or BMW.

  For the gossip and glances of passersby, Tang Xiaosheng was calm and composed. As an actor, he had experienced all sorts of situations and was no longer surprised by anything. Little Dragon Girl was originally very indifferent to external reactions, so she didn't pay attention either. As for Guo Xiang, she was curiously observing everything around her, thinking that everything was fresh and new, and hadn't noticed anything out of place.

  Three people rode a bicycle together on the Third Ring West Road in Jinghua City, heading north, chatting casually while appreciating the night view on both sides of the street, with a gentle breeze and enchanting night colors, everything went smoothly along the way.

  When the bicycle rode to the middle of Xisanhuan Road, a small slope appeared in front. Although the slope was not very steep, the total weight of Tang Xiaosheng, Little Dragon Girl and Guo Xiang's three people was at least 300 kilograms, and it was definitely not easy to ride a bicycle uphill.

  If it were an ordinary day, Tang Xiaosheng would definitely get off the bus and walk. However, since he practiced the "Reversal Meridian Method" last night, he found that his physical strength and endurance seemed to have made significant progress, so he decided to try going uphill.

  "Long'er, Xiang'er, hold on tight, I'm going to speed up."

  After finishing speaking, Tang Xiaosheng started to step on the pedal vigorously, increasing the frequency, and the speed of the bicycle also gradually increased. Then, relying on inertia, he rushed towards a small slope.

  The car slowed down halfway up the slope, and Tang Xiaosheng also felt a bit laborious, unable to pedal. But he didn't stop, instead secretly circulating the "Reversal Meridian Method", his body suddenly surged with internal energy, his whole body seemed to regain its vitality, and then continued to fiercely pedal upwards.

  "This young man is really physically capable. Three people riding a single bike, and they can still climb up this slope, it's really impressive."

  "Haven't you seen the two beauties standing next to him? Beauties are power!"

  ……

  Several passersby saw this scene and couldn't help but discuss it. In their eyes, apart from admiration, there was more envy and jealousy.

  After more than a minute of arduous climbing, the bicycle finally successfully climbed up the slope and reached the top. Tang Xiaosheng let out a slight sigh of relief, very satisfied with his performance. He didn't expect that he could actually ride up here, it seems that the training effect of "Reversing Meridian Method" is really good.

  At this time, what appeared in front of him was a downhill road. Tang Xiaosheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, didn't grasp the handbrake, and directly let go, allowing the car to follow the slope and roll down smoothly.

  Compared with going uphill, going downhill is naturally much easier. Guo Xiang, who was sitting on the front rack of the bike, was also extremely excited and couldn't help but shout out a few times.

  Riding smoothly, but unexpectedly, a police siren was heard from behind. A moment later, a police car caught up and the traffic cop signaled Tang Xiaosheng to stop his vehicle.

  After stopping the car, the traffic police came over.

  "Comrade traffic police, we didn't seem to be speeding, did we?" Tang Xiaosheng asked in puzzlement.

  The traffic police officer shouted: "You are not speeding, but you are overloaded! Three people on a bicycle is very dangerous, do you know that? This time I'll just give you a warning, don't let it happen again!"

  "Oh, I'll be sure to pay attention from now on." Tang Xiaosheng suddenly realized that he really didn't know that bicycles also had overload regulations.

  After the traffic police finished warning him, he patted Tang Xiaosheng's shoulder and praised: "Young man, you're in good shape, you can even climb up this slope."

  Tang Xiaosheng didn't say anything, he just shrugged and smiled.

  After this little episode, Tang Xiaosheng and the other two got off their bicycles and switched to walking. The three of them walked for over ten minutes before arriving at the entrance of Jiayuan Community on West Third Ring Middle Road.

  "Big brother, why did you bring us here?" Guo Xiang asked in surprise.

  Tang Xiaosheng smiled and didn't answer, saying: "Let's go in and take a look first."

  Then the three of them entered Jiayuan Community, came to Building A, and took the elevator to the 15th floor, arriving at the door of Room 15-1. Tang Xiaosheng reached into his pocket, pulled out a set of keys, opened the door, and led Longnü and Guo Xiang inside.

  This is a two-bedroom, one-living room, one-kitchen, and one-balcony house with a total area of over 80 square meters. Although the decoration is not high-end, the furniture is relatively complete, including sofa, wardrobe, refrigerator, washing machine, water heater, TV, phone, etc., basically everything you need.

  "Hey, this house is..." Xiaolongnv thought it was Tang Xiaosheng's friend's residence, but after looking around, she found that there were no other people in the house, and couldn't help feeling a bit puzzled.

  Tang Xiaosheng rubbed his nose and said: "What do you think of this house, is it to your liking? I just rented it this morning, and from now on we'll be living here."

  Although Little Dragon Girl and Guo Xiang did not mind living in a humble house, Tang Xiao Sheng as a man could not accept letting two women suffer with him. The room was narrow and dark, not to mention the mice and cockroaches, it was really not suitable for normal human habitation.

  Because Xiaolongnv and Guo Xiang have always opposed moving, he had to secretly rent a house by himself. Yesterday, he contacted the real estate agent through his mobile phone and chose this house. This morning, he took advantage of going out to buy a rooster to directly pay the rent. After everything was settled, he brought them here.

  "Didn't I tell you not to move house? This place must have cost a lot of money, right?" said Little Dragon Girl. She knew that Tang Xiaosheng didn't have much money and now he had rented this suite, it was really too extravagant. She never wanted to bring too much pressure to his life.

  The house indeed cost a lot of money, with a monthly rent of 2,000 yuan, paid quarterly, and the down payment and deposit totaled 7,000 yuan. Of the 10,000 yuan previously received from Guoyang, more than half has been spent.

  "Money is meant to be spent." Tang Xiao Sheng seemed very calm, smiling and saying, then pointing to one of the bedrooms, turning his head to Guo Xiang and saying, "Xiang Er, go take a look at your bedroom, big brother has prepared a gift for you."

  Guo Xiang's big eyes blinked, and she asked curiously: "Big brother, why are you giving me a gift?"

  Tang Xiaosheng asked back: "Xiang Er, have you forgotten what day today is?"

  "Today?" Guo Xiang thought for a moment, seemingly not understanding. Afterwards, she borrowed a mobile phone from Little Dragon Girl and checked the calendar, only to discover that today was actually October 24th on the lunar calendar.

  And this day was her birthday.

  Guo Xiang didn't know if it was because of excitement or being moved, but her big eyes that were like water actually became slightly moist, and she pursed her lips, saying in a low voice: "Big brother, how did you remember my birthday? I even forgot myself."

  Tang Xiaosheng smiled and gently stroked her head, saying: "Don't be silly here, go to the bedroom and take a look at your birthday gift, see if you like it."

  "Hmm." Guo Xiang gently wiped the corners of her eyes with her small hand, kicked out with her little legs, and hastily ran to the bedroom.

  A moment later, she hurried back to the living room with a brand new wooden guitar in her hand. It turned out that Tang Xiaosheng's gift to her was a wooden guitar.

  Yesterday, after leaving the psychiatric hospital and passing through the underground passage, he found that Guo Xiang seemed to be very interested in guitar. Today happened to be her birthday, so he took advantage of the early morning time to buy a rooster and spent over 1,000 yuan on a wooden guitar with an original wood color.

  "Big brother, how did you know I wanted to learn guitar?" Guo Xiang asked in a childish tone, while gazing at the wooden guitar in her hand with surprised eyes, as if she couldn't bear to part with it.

  "Remember to practice more later, big brother is still waiting for you to sing and play!"

  "Uh-huh." Guo Xiang nodded lightly, "Thank you, big brother."
