Besides, although Shi Han is quite noisy, he is... quite good to her.

Hearing the sounds from inside, Shi Xi leaned forward again and muttered softly, "Why is there no sound?"

The door to the room was opened, and Shi Xi, who was pressed against the door, fell straight in as soon as it opened.

Di Chenxiao grabbed her by the collar from behind, lifted her up like a chick, and held her in his arms.

Shi.Little Chicken.Xi: "Whoosh whoosh whoosh—that scared me to death, thank goodness I didn't fall."

"You scared me to death." Di Chenxiao's heart stopped suddenly as he watched her fall, and he was almost scared to death.

Shi Han, who opened the door, was also startled. "Thank goodness, thank goodness I didn't fall. Mr. Chen, what were you eavesdropping on outside Thirteen's room with my sister?"

Di Chenxiao: "..."

Shi Xi: "..."

Shi Xi, who was being held by Di Chenxiao, raised her little hand tremblingly, "Second brother, it was me who led Xiaoxiao to eavesdrop at the door."

Shi Han conceded and let the two into the house, saying in an annoyed tone, "My sister is so well-behaved. It must have been you, Di Chenxiao, who forced my sister to eavesdrop with you."

He had planned to go out and buy some snacks for Thirteen, but as soon as he opened the door, he saw the two eavesdropping. It was obvious to anyone that it was Di Chenxiao's idea.

My sister is so kind-hearted; in order to protect Di Chenxiao's aloof reputation, she actually took the blame for him.

Shi Xi looked pitifully at Di Chenxiao's profile. It wasn't that she didn't want to explain, but even if she did, her second brother wouldn't believe her.

When Thirteen saw Di Chenxiao and Shi Xi arrive, he was about to get out of bed to greet them, but Shi Xi stopped him, saying, "Thirteen, I'm just visiting. Don't get out of bed, don't get out of bed."

Thirteen replied obediently, "Yes, Miss."

Shi Han pouted. If he could be half as gentle as Xiao Xi in front of him, he wouldn't get beaten up every day.

The same person can act so differently in front of different people.

With Shi Xi's arrival, Shi Han no longer wanted to go out to buy snacks, so she sat down and chatted with Shi Xi.

"Little sister, Grandpa will be back in a few days."

Shi Xi placed the hand warmer pillow she was holding on the table. "Grandpa?"

She doesn't seem to have ever met her grandfather.

"You probably haven't met him. It's not that he doesn't like you, he's just too busy. I didn't see him much when I was a child either. And as I grew up, we met even less often."

Grandpa Shi's real name is Shi Dechang. He is the president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and has many things to do. Even Shi Hongguang rarely sees him.

The Shi family was built by Shi Hongguang through hard work, and of course, his grandfather also helped. Without his grandfather's status, Shi Hongguang's entrepreneurial journey would probably have been even more difficult.

Shi Xi had no feelings for her grandfather whom she had never met. "Why did Grandpa come back this time?"

"It seems to be for your birthday. Grandpa also feels guilty towards you, saying that he has never cared about you all these years. Your eighteenth birthday is coming up soon, and he wants to celebrate it for you in person," Shi Han analyzed.

In fact, he didn't feel much affection for his grandfather. They met too infrequently, and apart from sharing a blood relationship, they weren't as close as friends.

Has the specific time for Grandpa's return been set?

"Not yet, but it'll be in the next couple of days. Don't worry, Grandpa never stays for too long when he comes back. This time, he'll go back to work no later than the end of your birthday."

"oh."

Shi Xi didn't care. One more elderly person in the family was one more person. If they could get along, they could get along well. If they couldn't, they would just avoid him.
