Shi Xi touched the turtleneck sweater; the scars under the collar hadn't healed yet. "I'm always afraid of the cold, so I wear turtlenecks to keep warm."

"What Xiaoxi wears is her own business. As her second brother, do you want to control what she wears?" Shi's mother said irritably, pulling Shi Xi to sit on the sofa.

Shi Han felt wronged. "I just asked out of curiosity. Is it necessary to be so protective of her? Xiao Xi is my sister. She's the one who should be in charge of me. I wouldn't want to be in charge of her."

"Mom, my second brother is just concerned about me, please don't scold him." Shi Xi shook her mother's arm and said coquettishly.

"Okay. Xiaoxi, Xiaochen, are you hungry? Let's eat!"

"Okay, dinner's ready. Thirteen, Di Jiu, Mi Rou, come and eat together." Shi Xi led Di Chenxiao by the hand to the dining table.

Mi Rou followed the group to the table for dinner.

She frowned, pondering. Did Shi Xi already know her true identity?

If you knew, why did you let her come along? If you didn't know, why were you so much nicer to her?

"Watch where you're going. Don't get lost in your own world. If you fall and don't watch where you're going, don't cry." Shi Hao walked at the back of the group. Mi Rou, who was walking in front of him, seemed to be preoccupied and wasn't watching where she was going either.

So his name was Shi Hao. He was quite gentle with Shi Xi's friends, unlike his coldness when they first met. "Thank you. I don't like to cry. You'll never see me cry."

After saying that, he sped up, ignoring the people behind him.

Shi Hao: "..."

He finally felt a surge of sympathy and thought she was pitiful all by herself, so he kindly talked to her. He was just trying to find something to talk about, so how did he end up stepping on a rabbit's tail?

rabbit?

Mi Rou, so weak and gentle, really does resemble a rabbit.

Shi Han deliberately slowed down, gradually approaching Thirteen. "Thirteen, it's been so many days since I last saw you. Did you miss me?"

"If you don't want to, get out of here." Thirteen remained cold and expressionless.

Shi Han: "..."

"Besides me, no one's chattering away in front of you. Are you lonely? It's okay, I'll keep bothering you from now on. I won't let you feel lonely alone. Am I... ah..."

"Let go...let go, my hand is going to break."

Thirteen twisted Shi Han's arm behind her back, and Shi Han, in pain, had no choice but to stop.

"I won't say anything, I won't say anything... Thirteen, you, you let me go first."

Shi Xi and the others glanced back upon hearing the screams, then acted as if nothing had happened; Mi Rou and Shi Hao, who were following behind Shi Han, also ignored Shi Han's screams and walked right past.

Once everyone was seated, Thirteen let go of Shi Han's hand. Shi Han rubbed her aching hand, sat down in her chair with a wronged expression, and looked at the group of people eating and laughing at the table.

After dinner, Di Chenxiao and Di Jiu left the Shi family.

Shi Xi had just taken a shower and was wearing a round-neck fleece pajama, revealing a shallow scar on her neck.

She made an appointment with Han Yan, Zhou Jin, and Qin Xue to meet them after school tomorrow.

She would study at home during the day, and then go to see them after school.

There was a knock at the door. She went to open it and was quite surprised to find that it was Mi Rou who had come to see her.

"Let's talk inside," Shi Xi said, half-closing the door.

"Do you know why I'm looking for you?" Mi Rou stopped pretending to be weak and reverted to her true nature.

“My attitude towards you has changed. You should think that I now know your true identity. Right, Yu?”
