Xia Nuan's stepmother's voice came from behind Xia Yi.
"What are you still standing there for? Go do your homework!"
Xia Yi pouted. He was the top student at school, and he had already finished his homework.
"If you're done, then go back to your room and don't get in your sister's way."
Lin tried her best not to make Xia Nuan feel unhappy.
He yelled at Xia Yi, sending her back to her room.
Then he turned to look at Xia Nuan.
It had been a year and a half since we last met, and Xia Nuan seemed more mature and composed than before.
Lin Xuelian also genuinely loved Xia Nuan and treated her like her own daughter. She smiled and said, "It's good that you're back."
“I have the housekeeper clean your room every day.”
"Have you eaten yet? I'll go make you something."
Suddenly a head popped out of the room.
"Mom, you're being unfair! Why do you cook for your sister when she comes back, but when I ask you to cook, you say there's a housekeeper?"
Xia Nuan was amused by Xia Yi.
She nodded to Lin, and this time her gaze was much more amiable than before.
Lin Xuelian could clearly sense that Xia Nuan was no longer ignoring her as before, and her face instantly developed many more wrinkles.
"I've already eaten at the hotel."
Lin Xuelian then asked, "Would you like to eat some fruit to help with digestion?"
"No need, Aunt Lin."
Her stepmother did nothing wrong and treated her very well.
Every time she sees herself, she panics, like a child who has done something wrong. If she hadn't been there for her father during the most difficult time, perhaps he wouldn't be where he is today.
To be honest, Lin Xuelian deserves a lot of credit for the Xia family getting to where it is today.
Xiao Zhi used to know that she was the other woman who broke up her parents' relationship. After learning the truth, Xia Nuan felt that she, as a stepmother, was even a little pitiful.
In the past, Xia Nuan would always call her "Hey, that woman."
This was the first time Xia Nuan had called her that, and her stepmother's eyes were filled with tears.
"There's no need to be so polite among family. Go and rest if you're tired. I'm going to the mall."
Lin Xuelian goes to the mall simply to buy things Xia Nuan likes to eat, just like she always has, but Xia Nuan has never been moved by it and always thinks that she is trying to please her, which makes her even more disgusted with her.
"Then be careful."
In that instant when she turned around, Xia Nuan seemed to see a tear trail running down Lin Xuelian's cheek.
Perhaps this is what it means to be understood.
Xia Nuan took a shower, changed into her pajamas, and passed by Xia Yi's room to find him playing video games, cursing his opponent as a noob.
They act like they're so great.
Xia Yi is a good student, and Lin Xuelian is basically left to her own devices once she has finished her tasks.
For some people, God opens a door for them but closes a window.
Xia Yi loves playing games, but he's always slow to react and gets completely dominated by his opponents. Even Xia Nuan, who's standing nearby, can't stand it anymore.
"Get up, I'll beat him up for you."
Xia Nuan was also introduced to games by Xia Yi.
I joined in because I saw how badly he was being abused.
As a result, they lost the game because they didn't develop their skills enough in the early stages.
Xia Yi has been playing games for 3 years and is still at the Bronze level, never having climbed any higher.
Seeing this data, Xia Nuan felt that no one could beat him. If he could put even one-tenth of the effort he put into studying into gaming, he probably wouldn't have ended up like this.
Looking at the battle situation on the computer screen, 15-year-old Xia Yi burst into tears.
She looked as wronged as a child.
"Sis, am I really useless? Besides having good grades, being tall and handsome, I seem to have no other advantages."
Xia Nuan: "......"
Xia Yi's words were a direct Versailles-like response.
You know, he's the kind of kid everyone admires.
"Sis, no way! I need to turn things around right now and beat those bastards to a pulp. Can you see if you can contact that boosting service to carry me through a game?"
"Sister, boohoo."
It's unbelievable to see a 15-year-old man crying like a child.
In the end, Xia Nuan was speechless at how her younger brother was behaving.
"I'll ask for you, but I can't guarantee they'll be available."
She knew that Li Dongyang had taken on the sequel, and normally he should be writing the script at this time.
It's possible that his phone isn't with him either.
"Sister, please ask her for me now. I don't want to be abused anymore."
Seeing a 15-year-old boy crying so sadly, Xia Nuan felt a little helpless.
"Okay, okay, I'll call him right now."
Xia Yi wiped away her tears, and then, as if injected with adrenaline, her expression changed incredibly quickly.
I have to say, this guy would probably be quite good at acting.
"The news came out of nowhere... it was you..."
As Xia Nuan expected, Li Dongyang was writing a manuscript, but fortunately his phone did not show as switched off this time.
After ringing for about ten seconds, Li Dongyang answered the phone.
"Hello!"
“Okay, go ahead,” Li Dongyang replied.
Are you free now?
"Never mind if I'm not available."
"Do you want me to be free?" Li Dongyang asked in return.
After getting to know Xia Nuan better, this guy became more and more of a slut.
"I'm talking to you about something important." Xia Nuan's tone became more serious on the phone.
"I'm writing a draft. If there's anything you need, just say so."
"Um, could you help me rank up?"
"You want to play games?"
"No, he's my younger brother," Xia Nuan explained.
Li Dongyang was puzzled. Wasn't Xia Nuan from a single-parent family? When did she suddenly have a younger brother?
I'll explain this to you later.
