Zhu Lin: "It's nothing, I was just asking."

Shi Xi looked at her phone screen. "The grades haven't come out yet. Don't you check my campus backend every day?"

Zhu Lin: "..."

She doesn't use it every day, does she?

Thinking this, Zhu Lin logged in again to check her grades in the backend.

It hasn't been released yet.

Shi Xi returned to Fengcheng, ready to rest for a few days.

But as soon as she entered the gate, she sensed that something was wrong.

Upon entering the living room, Shi Xi saw a cool and aloof girl sitting on the sofa.

Her long, straight black hair was loose, her eyebrows and eyes were indifferent, and there seemed to be an icy mist in her eyes.

Ning Yu is back!

"Sister...hello sister." Shi Xi snapped out of her daze and greeted them with an awkward smile, "Long time no see?"

"Hmm." Ning Yu raised her eyes slightly, which was considered a greeting.

Shi Xi was surprised that Ning Yu would come back suddenly. As she sat down, she wondered if she had done anything wrong recently.

Within seconds, Shi's mother brought over the fruit platter. Seeing Shi Xi, she smiled and said, "Xi Xi is back too."

"Yes, after the party ended, there wasn't anything going on over there, so I came back."

When her mother was around, Shi Xi felt much more relaxed.

"Are there any further announcements?" Shi's mother asked again.

"No more this week, Han is still arranging next week's schedule," Shi Xi replied obediently, then looked at Ning Yu, "Sis, how long is your vacation this time?"

Ning Yu looked up. "School starts after the Lantern Festival."

Shi's mother said, "We'll make glutinous rice balls together then. What kind of filling do you like?"

"I'm going back to Longquan Village for the Lantern Festival," Ning Yu said calmly.

After these words were spoken, silence fell.

Ning Yu added, "I will also be in Longquan Village on Chinese New Year's Day."

Shi's mother frowned, "Ning Yu, we haven't spent the New Year together yet."

Fearing the two would start arguing, Shi Xi quickly said, "How about this, let's bring Mr. and Mrs. Ning over and celebrate the New Year together?"

Remembering that Shi Xi was the child of the Ning family couple, Shi's mother came back to her senses and said, "No, we're going back to the old house for the New Year, have you forgotten?"

Shi Xi: ...

She was at her wit's end.

Ning Yu said indifferently, "No need for such trouble. Just celebrate the New Year as usual this year."

Ning Yu paused for a moment, then said, "I can come back on the first day of the lunar new year."

"Then is it still New Year's?" Shi's mother was displeased.

“Mom, my sister has always spent the New Year in Longquan Village, she’s used to it.” Shi Xi interrupted, “Anyway, it’s not the New Year yet, let’s talk about it when it comes.”

If you meet your maker before the Lunar New Year, then you don't need to worry about such things.

Mother Shi insisted, "Anyway, our family will always be together!"

Ning Yu glanced at Shi Xi, then looked away.

Shi Xi thought to herself, "Just say what you want to say!"

I don't understand what you're trying to convey with that look!

Fortunately, the atmosphere didn't remain tense for long before Shi's father and Shi Xu returned.

"Xixi's back! Oh, and Ningyu's back too!" Father Shi exclaimed happily. "Oh my, my precious daughters, did you miss your dad?"

Shi Xi smiled sweetly and said, "I've thought about it~"

Ning Yu looked disgusted.

Shi's father patted Shi Xi's head, then looked at Ning Yu and asked, "How's school?"

Ning Yu: "It's alright."

After asking a few more questions, Shi's father said to Ning Yu, "Your grandfather said before that he wanted to see you. Now that you're back, go visit him at the old house."

Ning Yu looked resistant.

She didn't want to move.

Father Shi looked at the other two children and said, "Shi Xu, Xi Xi, you two go with Ning Yu to see Grandpa."
