Chapter 326: Chapter 326: In a Hurry, Let Me Cut in Line

A few minutes later, Tang Li stood in front of the north gate of Songlin Garden, watching Song Jingtian crawl on the ground, wriggling forward under the swing barrier; he seemed a bit off.

The short-legged Corgi followed its owner and swiftly entered the neighborhood.

Song Jingtian got up, brushing the dust off with his chubby hands, while saying to Tang Li, “Hurry in! There’s no one around now, we won’t get caught.”

Tang Li: “…”

“I’ll cover for you, come on quickly.”

Seeing the little fellow’s enthusiastic eyes, Tang Li couldn’t help asking, “Where’s your access card?”

“Oh, that. Aunt Min took it after school closed for the holidays.” After answering, Song Jingtian ran back to the barrier, continually urging her, “The surveillance camera here broke this morning, I saw them take it down to fix; if you keep dawdling, they might come back!”

Hearing him say this, Tang Li guessed the whole story.

The Song family confiscated Song Jingtian’s access card to prevent him from roaming around during the New Year. Unexpectedly, the north gate’s security camera broke, providing him with a loophole to sneak out.

With that in mind, Tang Li said, “You’ve already had breakfast, go home now. Today you don’t have your access card, we can visit your place next time.”

After speaking, she turned to leave.

Tang Li hadn’t walked far when a child holding a Corgi joined her: “If that’s the case, I’ll come over to your place!”

“…” Tang Li.

Song Jingtian was chasing in a hurry, not even bothering to dust off his dirty jeans, fearing she might slip away in a blink. Catching up to Tang Li, he eagerly asked, “Do you have many people at home?”

Realizing that Song Jingtian really didn’t recognize her, Tang Li had to stop, “It’s our first meeting, and you want to come to my house; what if your family gets worried?”

“The housekeeper and driver are off for the holidays, mom and Aunt Min went dancing; they think I’m still asleep.” The little guy looked sly, “As long as I’m back by 10 a.m., there won’t be any problems.”

With that, Song Jingtian skipped forward, “Huafu No.1, which building is your place at?”

The Corgi led the way, wiggling its plump behind.

Seeing him about to cross the street with the dog, Tang Li had to follow, grabbing his little hand, “Remember to look for traffic before crossing the street.”

“I did look.” Song Jingtian clasped her hand back, defending, “Tiger Whip is just anxious, it can’t wait to visit your place.”

After crossing the street and walking a few hundred meters, they reached the east gate of Huafu No.1.

After swiping her card, Tang Li led Song Jingtian in, also taking care of the Corgi.

Compared to Songlin Garden, Huafu No.1 is also a high-end residential compound, though it falls far behind the former in terms of security and landscaping.

Tang Li lives in building No. 7.

Exiting the elevator, Song Jingtian followed her quietly.

Tang Li took out her keys and opened the door; Song Jingtian discovered she lived in a studio apartment, more disappointed than hopeful, he pouted, “Your place is really small, not even as big as a bathroom at Yunqi Villa where my brother lives.”

Despite his complaints, the little guy had already entered.

Without needing Tang Li to remind him, he took off his shoes at the doorway and walked in, scanning around before plopping onto the couch. Turning his head to see Tang Li wiping the Corgi’s feet with a cloth, he swung his legs and asked, “Do you have any snacks?”

Putting down the Corgi, Tang Li remembered a bag of wafers in her bag that she bought at the airport yesterday, took it out and handed it to Song Jingtian, “Only this.”
