24 You're Annoying.

Li Yuri, Tang Min and Mo Xuanji walked home.

"I'll get going. Bye!"

Mo Xuanji stopped at the road intersection and bid them goodbye as she walked to the alley next to the one where Tang Min and Li Yuri went.

Li Yuri bowed her head as she walked absent-mindedly. Tang Min looked at her and pursed his lips. "Don't worry. He'll be fine."

Li Yuri looked up and sneered as she kicked a rock out of frustration.

"Does having a good background and lots of money really give you the right to bully others?! That Song Lin, does she think I'm easy to bully?! Just because she has money and is from a rich family, she takes herself as a queen!"

Tang Min sighed as he said, "Having money does give you the chance to bully others, though. When you are strong and successful, no one dares to bully you back."

Li Yuri smirked as she grinned evilly, "If that's the case then, one day, I will become strong, successful and earn lots of money! Then I will throw the money at that Song Lin's face, like what she did to me!"

Tang Min looked down at her sparkling eyes and a smile crept up to his lips.

One day...

Li Yuri opened the door and poked her head inside as she sneakily looked around the living room. After ensuring that there was nobody inside, she heaved a sigh of relief.

Then she slowly entered the house and quietly closed the door. Just as she turned around, she saw someone and she screamed. "Ahh!!"

Li Yuran took a few steps back as he looked at her with his mouth twitching.

"Why are you acting so weird? Did you do something suspicious today? And what's with that paint all over your face? Heh, it makes you look like a stray cat!"

Li Yuri fought the urge to punch him as she ignored him and changed her shoes to slippers. "Where's mom?"

Li Yuran smiled, "Where else? She's next door!"

Next door? Tang Min's house?? Li Yuri blinked as she thought. "Oh, I see."

She then went upstairs. "Oh right.." She ran downstairs with something in her hands. She gave it to Li Yuran. "Xuanji told me to give it to you!"

Li Yuran silently looked at the blue notebook in his hand. "Did she say something else?" he asked.

Li Yuri nodded her head.

"What?"

"I forgot."

Li Yuran: "..." Can I beat her up??

Li Yuri pondered deeply before suddenly exclaiming, "Oh I remember now! She said that after you receive it, don't message her!"

"?" Li Yuran was suspicious. "Did she really say not to message her or maybe you heard it wrong.."

Li Yuri was very sure as she confidently shook her head, "She really said 'don't'! Maybe she doesn't want to talk to you because you're annoying and spam her with messages all day long.."

Li Yuran's face darkened, "No, you must've heard wrong!"

Li Yuri shrugged innocently, "Whatever! Where is Little Xixi??"

Li Yuri was suddenly tempted, "Hey, take care of the house. I'll also go next door to visit Auntie Tang and Little Yuyu!"

Li Yuran gave her a displeased look but didn't say anything as he headed to his room. Li Yuri also headed to her room and washed her face as she changed her clothes.

She then headed downstairs and walked outside to the neighbor's house. She rang the doorbell and stood, waiting for someone to open the door.

After few minutes, a little boy whose features resembled that of Tang Min's, opened the door. Li Yuri immediately pinched his cheeks. "Little Yuyu!!"

Tang Mingyu let her pinch his cheeks because she always did this whenever she visited. He excitedly said, "Big Sis Ri! I missed you so much!"

"You cheeky little punk!" Tang Min came as he pulled Tang Mingyu away from Li Yuri. He then turned to her. "Why are you here?"

Li Yuri rolled her eyes as she wrapped her arm around his shoulder intimately, "Can't I be here? Anyways, where's my mom and Auntie Tang??"

Tang Min looked at her arm and quickly looked away as he replied, "They're at the backyard."

"Sister Yuri!" Li Yuxi, who was writing, looked up and saw her as she called out. Li Yuri abandoned Tang Min as she walked over and sat by her side.

"What are you doing?" She asked curiously. Tang Mingyu brought a glass of juice for her as he sat beside them and said obediently, "We're doing our group project!"

Li Yuri rubbed his head and said as she drank the juice, "Oh I see~ Then you kiddos continue on! I won't disturb you!"

Shen then turned to Tang Min, who was watching over them and said, "Let's go to your room!"

Meanwhile. At the Li house.

[I received your notebook from Yuri..]

[Xuanji, I miss you!]

[Can I call you?]

Li Yuran stared at his lonely messages in his screen and his expression turned to that of an abandoned puppy.

'Why isn't she reading my messages?'

Immediately, Li Yuri's words flashed in his mind.

["Maybe she doesn't want to talk to you because you're annoying and spam her with messages all day long.."]

He face-palmed. "Do I really annoy her with my messages??]

He checked his previous messages and realized that while he sent over many long texts, Mo Xuanji replied with a short and sweet message.

Li Yuran held his forehead as he pursed his lips. 'It is really as Yuri said.. Maybe I really annoyed her..'

Just at that moment, a notification sound rang indicating that there was a message. He instantly looked over and saw...

[Hey dude, shall we go clubbing tonight??]

Li Yuran's face fell as he angrily sent a reply to his friend: [NO, I'M NOT GOING!!!!]

*Ding* Another message came. Li Yuran frustratedly looked at the phone and was about to throw it away when he froze.

[Yes.]

A big smile bloomed in his face as he immediately dialed her number. "Hello?" Her gentle voice instantly calmed his nerves down.

"Xuanji.. I missed you.."
