Su Jinru tried to persuade Xia Xuan, but she covered her ears and refused to listen. Su Jinru was frightened by her reaction and didn't dare to persuade her anymore. She glanced at Xia Yue. Xia Yue silently shook her head at her and waved her back to her room. She was watching over her and nothing would go wrong.

Su Jinru sighed and returned to her room.

Xia Yue frowned and yelled at the person outside, "Don't ring the doorbell anymore. The elderly and children at home need to rest. Go back. We can talk about it tomorrow if you have anything." After thinking for a moment, she casually said, "The neighbors will come to complain about disturbing the neighbors soon."

The noise outside finally quieted down.

Xia Yue breathed a sigh of relief and glanced through the peephole again. Chen Songbai was no longer outside. She turned back and sat down next to Xia Xuan. She removed her hands from covering her ears, wiped her tears, and gently soothed her, "I've already driven Chen Songbai away. If you don't want to see us, then don't."

Xia Xuan sniffed and said "hmm".

"Don't cry, take a hot bath and have a good sleep." Xia Yue straightened her hair.

Xia Xuan gradually stopped crying and obediently went to the bathroom to take a shower. Xia Yue was worried about her and followed her closely. While Xia Xuan was taking a shower inside, she stood outside the door waiting for her.

After taking a shower, Xia Xuan opened the door and came out, still in a bad mood: "Sister."

Xia Yue took the hair dryer out of the bathroom, connected it to an extension cord, and asked Xia Xuan to sit on the sofa while she helped her blow dry her hair.

Xia Xuan was no longer a child. She felt embarrassed to let her sister serve her like this. She raised her hand to take the hair dryer and said, "I can do it myself."

"Sit still." Xia Yue raised her hand and patted her shoulder.

Xia Xuan had no choice but to sit still and stop moving.

Xia Yue ran her fingers through the soft, wet hair, gently fiddling with it. Amidst the buzzing noise, she drawled, "Your hair is so beautiful. It's still the same as when you were a child, thick, black, and full. I remember when I was helping you tie your hair, even the rubber band wouldn't hold it together, and you pouted and said your scalp hurt from the pulling."

Xia Xuan smiled faintly, her words bringing her back to her childhood. She was the youngest child in the family, and had been in poor health since birth, with everyone revolving around her. Young and naive, she envied her older and younger sisters, wondering why she didn't have their healthy bodies, the freedom to play and eat whatever she wanted, the freedom to be carefree. She, on the other hand, was like a bird with broken wings, unable to fly.

When she grew up a little and understood more, she realized how lucky she was to have two older sisters, and she began to learn to love her sisters.

She was close in age to Xia Xi and loved to cling to her like a little tail, coaxing her with delicious snacks and fun toys in exchange for her playing with her for a while longer. Of course, Xia Xi was also very kind to her and took her with him wherever he went.

Xia Xuan smiled with tears in her eyes: "I am quite lucky to be born in our family." In another family, there may not be so many people supporting her behind the scenes.

So, no matter what happens, she must remember that she still has her family.

After drying her hair, Xia Yue turned off the hairdryer, and the room fell silent again. She unplugged the hairdryer, wrapped the cord around it, and carefully poured a little hair oil into her palm, applying it to Xia Xuan's shiny black hair.

A faint scent of rose lingers on the nose.

Xia Yue: "Go to sleep."

Xia Xuan responded and lay down on the bed. She tried to think of other things to divert her attention, but it was difficult. When she closed her eyes, the scene appeared in her mind - Miao Yijiajia was wearing a sexy suspender nightgown, with a charming figure and a pretended guilty look on her face. Chen Songbai, who was sleeping soundly, got up from the bed in panic, his naked body and dirty sheets.

Xia Xuan suddenly opened her eyes, her heart beating extremely fast, and her internal organs seemed to be upside down.

She couldn't sleep, she couldn't sleep at all.

Suddenly, a soft hand fell on her shoulder. Xia Xuan tilted her head and saw that it was her sister who was standing by her side.

"What happened?" Xia Yue asked cautiously, "Can't I tell my elder sister?"

She stroked Xia Xuan's hair again and again.

Xia Xuan lowered her eyes, her face buried in the pillow, in extreme pain, unable to speak. She herself was still in a trance, as if she had experienced a false dream.

But if it was an illusion, how could it be so real?

"Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore." Seeing that her sister was about to cry again, Xia Yue hugged her and patted her gently.

*

Xia Yue did not sleep all night and stayed by Xia Xuan's side. She knew that Xia Xuan also did not sleep all night, probably because she was in inner torment. She tossed and turned, with each sleep interval less than ten minutes.

It wasn't until the daylight outside the window that Xia Xuan fell asleep from exhaustion. Xia Yue couldn't bear to wake her up after she finally fell asleep, so she tiptoed out of bed, without even putting on her shoes, bent down to pick them up, walked out barefoot, and gently closed the door.

Su Jinru was already up and cooking porridge in the kitchen. She turned around and saw Xia Yue with dark circles under her eyes and asked, "How is Xuanxuan?"

"Not very good." Xia Yue shook her head. "I think the conflict is quite serious."

Su Jinru sighed worriedly, "Did you ask what happened? It shouldn't happen. Song Bai is quite accommodating to Xuan Xuan. Xuan Xuan always says he's considerate. It's just his mother, she's unreasonable and hard to like. Could it be that his mother is here?"

"I asked, but Xuanxuan refused to tell me."

"Call Song Bai and ask him." Su Jinru pressed her eyes. "My right eyelid keeps twitching, and it makes me anxious. They say the left eye twitches for good fortune, while the right eye twitches for disaster."

"Mom, why do you still believe this?"

Xia Yue took out her phone and dialed Chen Songbai's number. When the call was connected, Xia Yue didn't bother to be polite with him. She said in a very bad tone, "What did you do to let Xuanxuan down? She came home crying yesterday and didn't sleep all night! Chen Songbai, Xuanxuan's body can't withstand the blow. Did you only know about this on the first day?"
