"Big brother, second brother, sister, why are you all sitting in my room?" Xia Xiang was startled.

The three sat in a row, each resting their chin on their right hand, looking at Xia Xiang on the bed with complicated expressions, as if they had a thousand words to say but didn't know where to begin.

Then the three of them exchanged glances, sighed at the same time, and rested their chins on their other hands, staring intently at Xia Xiang.

"What's wrong with you guys?!" Xia Xiang feigned surprise, hugging the blanket and shrinking further inside.

"Xia Yu, Xia Tian, ​​Xia Mei, Xia Xiang," Xiong Ge's voice came from downstairs, "Come down for breakfast! The weather's nice today, we'll all go camping together later~"

"Coming~" Xia Yu responded, then took Xia Tian and Xia Mei away and let Xia Xiang change her clothes.

downstairs

"Xiaoying, come quick, we've been waiting for you." Xiong Ge waved happily. "Grandpa has to go out and can't make it back. Your dad has already gone to his shop and will head straight to the campsite later."

Xiong Ge looked at his little daughter with affection, reached out and ruffled her hair, and led her to sit down at the table.

Xia Xiang held back her tears and sat down to eat breakfast.

In fact, she had known for a long time that her mother and father had divorced, and she also knew that her family was all putting on an act to give her a warm family environment.

Especially her mother, who, despite the breakdown of her relationship with her father, still pretends to be loving.

Thinking of this, her throat felt a little dry, so she picked up the milk beside her and took a sip.

After a long while, when her thoughts finally returned to reality, she noticed that her mother, brother, and sister were glancing at her from time to time.

"What's wrong?" Xia Xiang touched her smooth little face. "Is there something on my face?"

Xia Mei nudged Xia Yu with her elbow, Xia Yu nudged Xiong Ge, and Xiong Ge nudged Xia Tian. Xia Tian was very puzzled. How could they entrust such a problem to him?

Seeing their frantic, suggestive gazes, Xia Tian felt an even heavier burden on his shoulders.

"Xiaoying, Mom and the others want to know if you're dating the boy who brought you home yesterday." Xia Tian asked very directly.

Everyone: ...I expected him to be direct, but I didn't expect him to be this direct.

"They want to know, don't you want to know?" Xia Xiang was only embarrassed for a moment, then she had the idea of ​​teasing her second brother.

"Of course, Second Brother wants to know too," Xia Tian replied earnestly.

Xia Yu was speechless: "How come you all don't understand the situation?"

"Does everyone want to know?" Xia Xiang looked at her family members.

Four eager little heads nodded vigorously, their eyes filled with a thirst for gossip.

"How could that be!" Xia Xiang exclaimed solemnly, deeply feeling that they were all naive.

"What are you adults thinking? I'm just a first-grade elementary school student, only six years old. What are you thinking?! Right now, my studies are my priority, and I can't and won't be in a relationship."

Xia Xiang: Why does that sound so familiar?

Xiu: She was using all my words.

"I knew it! My sister, Xia Yu's sister, is just as smart as me. How could she be fooled by that good-looking guy? What a joke! Xia Xiang isn't some lovesick fool." Xia Yu was very pleased to hear his little sister's words.

"Snobbish! What did you say?" Xia Mei decisively took action and started arguing with her older brother.

"But how come he carried you back yesterday?" Xia Tian asked in confusion.

"Hey..." Xia Xiang couldn't very well say that that stinky Jiu Wu forced her to practice for hours, and that she was initially in control but gradually got beaten to a pulp, could she? Didn't she have any pride?

"Well, here's what happened. I sprained my ankle and was two months late going back to school. I tried to catch up on my studies, so I worked a little harder. On the way back, I was so bored in the car that I fell asleep. Jiu Wu was going that way, so he gave me a ride home."

In fact, the Xia family all thought that Xia Xiang was just under strict protection in the Jiu Da Chang Lao family. Except for her grandfather, no one knew that she had been receiving various training since birth.

Because of her weak health, she takes various medicinal baths to strengthen her body, and listens to a bedtime story called "The Development Trend and Future of Superpowered Individuals".

Especially after she gave her consent at the age of three, her schedule was almost completely filled with academic and martial arts classes.

The purpose of doing this was not only because of her extraordinary superpowered physique, which could serve as a great help in protecting the Iron Dimension in the future.

Furthermore, because she was feared by the dark forces and had experienced countless assassination attempts since childhood, she also had to learn to protect herself.

Another thing is that Xia Xiang likes to listen to her grandfather's stories of fighting demons and protecting the righteous. She is very immature at a young age and vows to eliminate all evil forces in the world. Then she began her training that was exhausting for her at a young age.

Of course, it wasn't just a sprained ankle last time. When I went to the Demon Realm, I was too reckless and got ambushed by a demon, suffering serious internal injuries.

Why did she, an archer, insist on becoming a warrior?

"Oh~" The group nodded in satisfaction.

"But that girl named Jiuwu is quite cute," Xia Mei said, cupping her face in her hands and marveling at Jiuwu's good looks.

Previously, the Imperial Guards always escorted her back; Jiu Wu was busier than her and had never visited the Xia family. Who knows what's wrong with Jiu Wu this time? He carried her back on his back! Couldn't he have just woken her up?

Xia Xiang complained through gritted teeth, "He actually has a terrible personality, often goes crazy, and is extremely annoying!"

She's clearly still holding a grudge against Jiu Wu for giving her a beating yesterday afternoon...
