The girl group that Cui Xi Xi followed had a new trainee, named Luo Xiao Cao.
That little face—so beautiful; that slender waist—so flexible; those fair legs; that sweet, melodious singing voice. When she smiled sweetly at the camera, she completely bewitched Madam Cui.
Madam Cui played Xiao Cao’s singing and dance practice on loop in the office every day. One day, Senior Inspector Xia curiously leaned over for a look and immediately recognized her:
“This is the student my sister teaches vocal music to. She goes to my sister’s house every weekend to learn piano and singing.”
Cui Xi Xi’s heart thumped with excitement. Even overcoming her tone-deafness, she insisted on going to the Xia household to “learn vocal music.”
Thus, Xia Hao led the she-wolf straight into his sister’s home. Xia Xiao Mang was playing the piano, and Luo Xiao Cao was softly trilling as she sang.
The moment Cui Xi Xi opened her mouth, she howled along: “Aooo aooo aooo…”
And on her very first attempt, she managed to break Teacher Xiao Mang’s piano—worth 180,000.
To borrow a line from a famous novel: “Strong and forceful, yet devoid of public favor.”
Teacher Xiao Mang gently comforted her:
“It’s alright, it’s alright. When A’Hao was little, he broke an even more expensive one. It’s fine…”
Just as Cui Xi Xi was about to tearfully praise her—“Sister Xiao Mang is so rich and kind”—Teacher Xiao Mang added gently:
“Half of his salary is still being deducted to repay me for it.”
Cui Xi Xi shivered and cast a pleading glance at Luo Xiao Cao, hoping she would put in a good word for her with their teacher.
Luo Xiao Cao: “Heh. Useless.”
Cui Xi Xi: ????? Where is my sweet, adorable Xiao Cao daughter?!?!
That very night, she decided to withdraw from the fandom.
Even after leaving the fandom, burdened by her mountain of debt, she still had to go to Teacher Xiao Mang’s house every weekend to do cleaning and housework to repay it.
And she still had to listen to Luo Xiao Cao’s sweet singing while enduring her disdainful gaze.
Ah, do you have a split-personality or what, you face-changing little demon girl?!
A month later, Teacher Xiao Mang’s piano returned from repair. The repair fee was still within Cui Xi Xi’s salary range. She finally breathed a sigh of relief—no more manual labor!
No more seeing that little demon girl!
Cui Xi Xi showed great resolve, deleting all of “Xiao Cao’s singing and dancing” from her phone and computer, and unfollowing her on social media.
A public servant should uphold integrity—how could she like such a two-faced bad girl?!
But… her singing is really so good, her dancing so beautiful… someone with real ability has the right to be a bit arrogant, right… and I did break her teacher’s piano… and I sang such terrible songs in front of her…
In the middle of the night, crouched on the toilet, Cui Xi Xi secretly followed her again.
The little demon girl’s singing-and-dancing vlog updated.
Her ranking rose a few places again.
She appeared on some knockoff online variety show.
The little demon girl…
The little demon girl got kidnapped by crazed fans!
Madam Cui sped off with her team like lightning to rescue the girl of her dreams.
Unexpectedly, the crazed fans had accomplices. Madam Cui took a knife for the little demon girl—she got stabbed in the kidney!
“Good thing I used my hand! My kidney isn’t as ‘useful’ as the boss’s anyway!”
Xia Hao: “You’re already in an ambulance and still have the mood to step on me?!”
Xiao Ma: “Hey you, surnamed He, you bastard, why are you on top again?! …Wait, why did I say ‘again’?”
Her kidney wasn’t seriously damaged. When Cui Xi Xi woke from anesthesia, she saw the little demon girl wiping tears at her bedside.
The little demon girl instantly switched expressions:
“Heh. Useless.”
“Stop switching faces—your tears are still there. Admit it, you like me too, right?”
The little demon girl, overwhelmed with embarrassment, became angry out of shame… and nearly tried to smother Madam Cui with a pillow to silence her.
Later… they ended up getting together on the hospital bed.
Afterward, the little demon girl grabbed Madam Cui by the neck and asked:
“Weren’t you trying to pursue Teacher Xiao Mang?”
“How could I? Isn’t she straight? Straight girls are a trap—anyone who falls for it is a fool.”
“And if she weren’t straight, would you pursue her?”
“There’s no ‘if’! I went there to pursue you!”
“I’m not as gentle as Teacher Xiao Mang. I’m just pretending.”
“I like you being nosy! I like you being temperamental! I like you being crazy!”
“…”
Even though that was touching… better to just smother her anyway.
As for Teacher Xiao Mang—
She lives alone, gentle and refined in temperament, elegant in character, and utterly unused to housework. Every day she simply enjoys playing piano, singing, teaching vocal lessons, watching anime, playing games, binge-watching dramas, and shipping CPs…
Who told you all to urge Teacher Xiao Mang to date and get married?!!! She hates romance-obsessed people the most!!! Isn’t gaming fun enough?!!! Aren’t 2D characters wonderful?!!! Aren’t figurines adorable?!!! Wasn’t growing up with three stinky men annoying enough already?!!! Women are annoying too—just look at that pair of lunatics Xiao Cao and Xiao Cui!!! It took so much effort to work, buy a house, and finally have her own happy little world!!! Next step, she’s planning to raise ten cats!!!
As for Senior Inspector Xia, whose salary is halved every month and who still has to pay rent—
Every time he treats Forensic Doctor Xiao He to a meal, it’s instant noodles.
Xiao He: “Brother Hao, come to my place, I’ll cook for you.”
Xia Hao: “Sure! After eating, we’ll fix the pipes!”
Xiao He: “Ahem… maybe let’s not do that for now.”
Xia Hao: “???”
Xiao He brought Senior Inspector Xia home to meet his father, mother, and younger sister. After dinner, he came out of the closet with Senior Inspector Xia—
and the two of them were promptly beaten out of the house.
Limping, carrying the suitcase Old He threw out after them, Xiao He began sharing rent with Senior Inspector Xia from then on.
