"Don't get so close!" Xia Mei walked up to the two of them and pointed at them, who were almost touching. "I've heard the rumors about you two. You're not dating at all, so you need to avoid suspicion, understand? Keep your distance."

The two of them moved to one side in tacit agreement.

"And you, the new leader of the alliance, what brings you to my house?" Xia Mei asked.

“I…” Jiu Wu glanced at Xia Xiang, then saw Rex smirking behind Xia Yu, and pointed at Rex, saying, “I’m here to see Rex off as his friend.”

"Yes!" Xia Xiang also realized, "We met on the way and came together, that's how it is."

"Really?" Xia Mei asked doubtfully.

"Mmm," Xia Xiang and Jiu Wu nodded in tacit agreement.

Seeing that her older sister still didn't believe her, Xia Xiang quickly changed the subject.

"Sister, where are Han and Second Brother?"

"They went out to buy drinks. Those two lovebirds were so clingy, it was disgusting. They even wanted to go to the toilet together." Xia Mei squeezed past Jiu Wu and sat down with her sister.

Jiu Wu sighed inwardly, "I'll go find Rex."

Why look for Rex? He'd only met Rex three times, and Rex was accompanied by his future brother-in-law.

"How are you feeling?" Jiu Wu asked.

"Much better, how about you guys?" Rex smiled as he looked at Jiu Wu, then at Xia Xiang.

Jiuwu: That scoundrel is trying to sow discord between me and my future brother-in-law!

"Alliance Leader, who are you and Xia Xiang?" Xia Yu clearly sensed something was wrong and prepared to subtly reprimand her before privately disciplining his little cabbage.

"New colleagues, siblings, family, best friends." Jiu Wu used several words to describe their relationship.

The main concern was that if Xia Xiang's legs were broken and she was locked up, they would never see her again.

"Oh, that's good." Xia Yu said with a sigh of relief. "According to the Xia family's ancestral teachings, girls cannot date before the age of twenty. She is still a child and cannot neglect her studies."

Xia Xiang: I don't think the Xia family has this ancestral precept.

Xia Yu: Now we have it.
