However this time.

Shan Ting has undergone very obvious changes.

When Shan Yilin heard Li Xia's voice, he lowered his eyes to look at her and said, "Children should not meddle in adult affairs." He raised his eyelids and spoke.

How could he not know something that a child could see?

Shan Ting has his own ideas.

He also has his considerations.

Although the two are brothers, his birth destined that they could not have true brotherly love and respect for each other.

The departure of their mother will always be a bridge that they cannot cross.

"I'm not a child." Li Xia pursed her lips.

"Oh? Then what are you?"

Shan Yilin asked.

Li Xia blinked her eyes and said confidently, "After the Chinese New Year, I will be 11 years old. I am a big kid, not a little kid anymore."

"As long as you are a minor, you are a child to me." Shan Yilin said in a light tone.

Li Xia felt that she couldn't win an argument against Shan Yilin, so she puffed up her cheeks and lowered her head sullenly.

Mr. Shan walked up to Li Xia and said, "What's wrong, Xia Xia? Are you unhappy?"

The old man didn't hear the conversation between the two just now.

When he came out of the bathroom, he saw Li Xia with her head down.

"Grandpa Shan, I'm fine." Li Xia shook his head and said, "Grandpa, I'll go upstairs and put the luggage away first."

"Okay, go ahead."

Mr. Shan nodded when he heard this.

After getting the old man's consent, Li Xia carried her small suitcase and went upstairs without looking back.

Half an hour later.

Zhou Yaya and Shan Ting came back with their hands full of food.

After returning home, Zhou Yaya drank some water and went to the kitchen without stopping.

Shan Ting also very consciously went to help his wife.

She cooked two of her signature dishes skillfully.

"It's almost half past one. It's too late. A-Ting, go up and ask Xia-Xia and A-Lin to come downstairs for lunch. Let them make do with this for lunch. I'll come and show off my skills in the evening."

Zhou Yaya was so busy in the kitchen that she didn't even bother to pay attention to the time.

If I hadn’t checked the time, I wouldn’t have known it, and now it’s almost lunch time.

She quickly took off her apron and walked out of the kitchen carrying the dishes on the stove.

Shan Ting said, "Okay, I'll go right away."

“Boom boom boom—”

"Xia Xia, the food is ready, wash your hands and get ready to go downstairs to eat."

Shan Ting was the first to knock on Li Xia's door.

Li Xia had just put the clothes in the suitcase into the closet. After finishing this task, she heard a knock on the door.

She recognized Shan Ting's voice and replied, "Okay, Uncle Shan, I understand."

Li Xia opened her lips towards the door.

"Uncle Shan."

She saw Shan Ting and nodded at him.

"Well, Xia Xia, this is your home. You don't have to be so polite to your uncle." Shan Ting nodded and said with his thin lips.

She was still too polite.
