Tang San, Get Out! Get Out of This House! Teasing Chen Qingling? It's So Nice to Watch Snow with Friends This Year!

Only Tang San could make being a simp sound so righteous.

Tang Hao's face turned green with rage. "Good! Good! Good!"

"You unfilial brat! Even now, you're still stubbornly clinging to your delusions."

Tang San gritted his teeth. "Dad, do even you not believe your own son?"

"You bastard!"

Tang Hao pulled out a willow branch from who knew where and viciously lashed it across Tang San's body.

"You unfilial brat, do you know you're wrong? Will you change or not?"

Tang San's face twisted in pain, but he did not make a sound.

He could not accept a life without Xiao Wu, much less being separated from her.

Xiao Wu was such a wonderful girl. Tang San absolutely could not let her go.

"Dad... why..."

"Why can't you just listen to me!"

At that moment, Tang San spoke through gritted teeth, a vicious glint flashing through his eyes.

Seeing that vicious glint in Tang San's eyes, Tang Hao felt utterly miserable and collapsed into a chair.

"Sigh..."

"Xiao San, Xiao San, you need to understand that I'm doing all this for your own good."

"At this stage, Xiao San, you should be focusing on cultivating diligently, not getting wrapped up in romantic attachments."

"Romantic attachments won't affect me, Dad. Don't worry."

"And... I'm devoted, not a simp." Tang San declared forcefully, his gaze unwavering.

Little did he know, he himself was the clown.

Seeing that he could not argue Tang San down, Tang Hao could only shake his head helplessly.

He had known that this little bit of lecturing would not be enough to save the stubbornly deluded Tang San.

"Sigh..."

"Get out, get out, get out! I don't want to see you anymore. You annoy me just by looking at you."

Tang Hao suppressed the urge to hit him and barked at Tang San.

He was afraid that if he looked at Tang San's face any longer, he would not be able to stop himself from whipping him again.

Tang San slowly rose from the ground, gave Tang Hao one last look, then turned and left without hesitation.

After this incident, a rift formed between father and son. As time passed, that rift would only grow wider.

If Tang San were ever given a chance to pull the oxygen tube, he would pull it without hesitation and give Tang Hao a little shock.

What an ungrateful white-eyed wolf. A true Great Filial Son.

Watching Tang San's retreating figure, Tang Hao lowered his head and sighed repeatedly.

"Sigh!"

It was not that he did not want Tang San to pursue Xiao Wu. It was just that his behavior was truly too disgraceful.

After all, Tang Hao's own lover was also a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!

He had hoped his son would follow in his footsteps and marry a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast too.

Unfortunately... Xiao Wu did not seem to respond to that approach!

"Ah Yin... I truly owe you far too much... I've even failed to raise our child properly..."

"I really am a complete failure..."

Tang Hao's eyes were desolate as he picked up the wine jug and gulped down its contents.

Meanwhile, after leaving the house, Tang San stood there blankly, at a loss.

He did not know where he could go from now on.

Just then, the village chief, Old Jack, walked over. "Xiao San, why are you standing here?"

"Old Village Chief... my dad kicked me out."

"What?!" Old Jack immediately flew into a rage. "Xiao San, come with me. I'll definitely go reason with Tang Hao."

"No matter what happened, he can't drive his child out of the house!"

Tang San shook his head. "No need, Old Village Chief."

As the saying went, family shame should not be spread abroad.

Tang San did not want too many people knowing about his affairs, much less have his deeds spread through the village. Otherwise, he truly would have no face left to stay there.

After all, the things he had done at Notting Academy were each more shocking and worldview-shattering than the last.

"This..."

"Old Village Chief, Dad and I merely had an argument. It's nothing."

Old Jack fell silent for a moment. "All right. Xiao San, you don't have anywhere to stay... If you don't mind, you can stay with me for a while."

"Thank you, Old Village Chief."

Notting Academy, Academic Affairs Office.

Director Su's head was pounding as he looked at Su Yuntao, who had come to investigate.

"Deacon, what brings you to our humble academy?"

Su Yuntao frowned. "What brings me here? You know perfectly well!"

"Tell me, where did Qingling go? Your academy should know, shouldn't it?"

Director Su's eyelids twitched wildly. "Deacon, our academy does not pry into our students' whereabouts, so I do not know where Qingling Student went either."

Su Yuntao gave Director Su a long look. "Is that so?"

"Of course, Deacon. I wouldn't dare lie to you."

"Hmph."

"Deacon, for a talent like this, shouldn't Spirit Hall..."

"That is none of your concern. Since you don't know where she is, I won't stay any longer."

"Take care, Deacon. I won't see you out."

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Chen Qingling, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong were soaking together in a warm bath, steam rising all around them.

"So warm..." Chen Qingling narrowed her eyes in enjoyment. She had no desire to leave the bath at all; she wanted to stay forever.

"Rongrong, your living conditions really are nice."

Ning Rongrong playfully stuck out her tongue. "Really? Even you think so, Xiao Wu? I think this is pretty ordinary."

"Sister Qingling, look at her! She's showing off right in front of us! I'm so mad!"

Xiao Wu puffed out her cheeks, and even her pair of Rabbit Ears turned red.

"Wow... 'Sister Qingling' this, 'Sister Qingling' that. What a sweet way of saying it."

At that moment, Ning Rongrong leaned against Chen Qingling with a lovesick grin.

"Then... should I change how I address you too? Should I call you Sister Qingling?"

Chen Qingling's forehead was covered in black lines. "Forget it. You're already used to calling me otherwise."

"Sister Qingling~ Sister Qingling~"

Unable to bear the soft, coquettish voice, Chen Qingling hurriedly said, "No, no, no."

"I still think it's better if you just call me Qingling, Rongrong. It feels so strange when you call me Sister Qingling."

Just then, Ning Rongrong caught sight of Chen Qingling's chest from the corner of her eye.

"Oh my, I didn't expect that after half a year, you've actually grown a little. Not bad, not bad!"

Chen Qingling's pretty face reddened. "Rongrong, you..."

"What? Last time, you were the one who talked about me. This time, it's my turn."

Xiao Wu eagerly leaned closer, delighted to stir things up. "Hehe, Sister Qingling worried about this for ages. She even tried it herself..."

"Hard work pays off. It's finally showing some results~"

Faced with the teasing from the two girls, Chen Qingling was thin-skinned. Her face reddened like a ripe apple, and her voice was as quiet as a mosquito's buzz.

"You... stop talking about it. It's so embarrassing."

"Hahaha."

The three girls laughed and played in the bath, only reluctantly getting dressed and leaving the bathroom after soaking for a full hour and a half.

Night fell, and the cold wind whistled as it blew against Chen Qingling and the other two girls.

Chen Qingling slowly raised her hand. "The weather's getting colder."

"Yeah... After all four seasons, winter is finally coming. The weather is so unpredictable. Yesterday might have been blazing hot, and today the cold wind is already blowing."

"True. Otherwise, why would they give us Winter Vacation?"

"This year... I can finally watch the snow together with like-minded friends."

Ning Rongrong's face overflowed with a sweet smile.

It was a wish she had dreamed of for so long, and it was finally going to come true this year.

Having friends felt so nice. She really wished time could freeze at this very moment.
