The car stopped steadily in the yard of the villa.

Shan Yilin unbuckled his seat belt and looked up at the rearview mirror. "We're here. You can unbuckle your seat belt now."

Ever since sending Li Xia to school.

Whenever Shan Yilin has free time at school, he will think of her.

Although I was her age, I also lived alone in the school dormitory.

But he thought that Li Xia was a girl.

My family had gone through such a big change, and I had just arrived in a foreign country where I was unfamiliar with the environment.

He was afraid that she would not be able to adapt to the school.

However, this time, she was in better condition than he had imagined.

But he still noticed her unhappiness.

She must have been afraid of troubling herself, so she only told him the good news and not the bad news.

When Li Xia went to the school to register, Shan Yilin went there as her guardian.

He left her teacher's contact information.

It seems that he needs to find an opportunity to call her teacher and find out about Li Xia's situation in school.

"Okay." Li Xia nodded.

The two got out of the car and walked into the villa one after the other.

After not coming back for a month, there was a thin layer of dust in the villa.

Fortunately, the furniture and sofas were covered with cloth when they were moved.

Otherwise the cleaning work will be very huge.

Shan Yilin doesn't like others entering his territory.

Except that the villa was too messy when it was just renovated, he couldn't bring himself to clean it, so he hired a cleaning lady.

After that, he took care of all the hygiene himself.

"Have a good rest today. I'll take you to choose a mobile phone tomorrow. This way, when your sister-in-law and the others miss you, they won't have to contact you through me." Shan Yilin put the car keys on the cabinet at the entrance, changed his shoes, and said to Li Xia.

Since I am now her nominal guardian, I must fulfill some of my guardian responsibilities.

Shan Yilin thought about giving Li Xia a mobile phone.

This way they can contact each other if anything happens.

Hearing this, Li Xia looked up at Shan Yilin. She blinked and said, "Uncle, why did you think of buying me a mobile phone? I'm only in elementary school now. Shouldn't I use less electronic products at this stage? Aren't you afraid that I'll become addicted to my phone because I live in the school dormitory without any constraints?"

"It's okay. I believe in your self-control."

Shan Yilin spoke.

When Li Xia heard his words, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Maybe even he himself didn't realize it.

He treats Li Xia differently.

She was like his positive and negative poles, making him unconsciously attracted to her without even realizing it.

"What's wrong?"

Shan Yilin saw Li Xia staring at him and moved his lips to ask.

Li Xia shook her head and said half-jokingly, "It's just a little too surprising. This is the first time you have praised me since I met my uncle."

She blinked, and her bright eyes seemed to be filled with stars.

"It seems that I don't have a good impression of you."

Shan Yilin said after hearing this.

His tone was flat and his face was expressionless, making it impossible to tell his emotions.

Li Xia laughed and said, "It's okay, it's not too bad."

"Okay, go to your room and take a rest. I'll tidy up and take you out for dinner tonight."

Shan Yilin is also self-aware.

He was well aware of his mediocre cooking skills and was too embarrassed to show off in front of Li Xia.

"Are we still going to that Chinese restaurant that my uncle took me to before?" Li Xia's eyes lit up when she heard what Shan Yilin said.

Although the small shop doesn't look very eye-catching.

But the taste inside is enough to make people who have tried it once want more.

Li Xia didn't know if it was because she was in a foreign country.

She especially cherishes the chance to taste Chinese food.

Shan Yilin said, "If you like it, we can go there later."

He agreed.

"Uncle, there is strength in numbers. We can clean faster if we work together."

Li Xia volunteered.

"You go do your homework and I'll do the cleaning."

"I have finished my homework at school. I have nothing to do anyway, so I will do it with my uncle."

When Shan Yilin heard Li Xia's words, he subconsciously refused.

Li Xia insisted.

In the end, Shan Yilin couldn't persuade her anymore, so he let Li Xia participate.

As we get along during this period of time.

Shan Yilin gradually went from being reluctant and unwelcoming to Li Xia's arrival in the beginning to slowly getting used to her presence.

In the house that never welcomes others, Li Xia's figure is everywhere, but Shan Yilin does not feel uncomfortable because of this.

Just like Li Xia said, two people working together are indeed much more efficient.

It didn't take them long to clean up the living room.

The two of them tidied up their own rooms.

after all.

It would not be appropriate for a little girl like Li Xia to rashly enter an adult man's room.

The same is true for Shan Yilin.

"We'll set off when we're ready."

After everything was ready, Shan Yilin waited downstairs for Li Xia who had returned to her room to change clothes.

"Right away." Li Xia heard the voice coming from downstairs and responded.

After a while.

Li Xia changed out of her clothes that were covered in dust from the cleaning.

"I'm fine, uncle, let's go." Li Xia walked down the stairs with a bright smile on her face, her joy beyond words.

There are actually very few Chinese people studying here.

There aren't many Asian faces to be seen.

The owner of the small restaurant and her husband are among the few Chinese living here.
