"Um."
Youyou slid down from the chair, rushed over and hugged Xia Xi's thighs, tilting her neck and complaining: "Mom, you are finally back. I am so hungry waiting for you."
Su Jinru laughed: "I don't know who it was, but he ate two chicken legs."
Youyou raised a finger and said, "It's a chicken drumstick! My other brother said it was a chicken wing root, not a chicken drumstick. Grandma, you're lying to the kids."
"You're such a greedy cat." Su Jinru looked at Xia Xi, "You must be tired after running around for most of the day. Wash your hands and come over to eat."
Xia Xi put down her bag and went to the kitchen to wash her hands. "Didn't you say you don't have to wait for me? I've been sitting in the car for a long time and I don't have much appetite."
"Your grandmother and I are not in a hurry to eat. The two children are hungry, so we let them eat something in advance." Su Jinru picked up the white clay pot on the gas stove and said, "I made chicken soup. It's very light. If you don't have an appetite, just drink some soup."
"Let me do it." Xia Xi took the casserole from her and walked out with it. "How is Xuanxuan?"
"Chen Songbai will stay in the hospital tonight, and there will be a nurse to help. It's no problem." Su Jinru said, "Chen Songbai has lost a lot of weight in the past few days. To be honest, his mother is annoying, but he's a pretty good person. He's been busy all this time and never frowned."
Xia Xi snorted coldly, and was very dissatisfied with Chen Songbai: "He dares to be so rude, I can't kill him."
Su Jinru: “…”
The dishes were all on the table, and the family sat around to eat. Grandma didn't avoid the two children and asked Xia Xi, "How is Xiaoyue in there?" Before Xia Xi could answer, Grandma sighed and said, "I can't go to see her in my old age. I'm afraid the next time I go back to Ganlin will be after I ascend to heaven, and then I can bring my ashes back."
Xia Xi said with a sullen face: "Grandma, what are you talking about? Hurry up and say it."
When Grandma smiled, her face became creased with wrinkles. She was seventy-eight years old, and her family had been plagued by misfortunes one after another. She had a serious illness, and her health had deteriorated. She hadn't said anything about it in the past few years, but she had been feeling uneasy.
The same goes for Su Jinru.
Xia Xi said: "Eldest sister is doing well, don't worry too much, you will be able to see her in a few months."
Grandma was drinking her soup when she suddenly fell silent. She was afraid she would never see Xiaoyue again. She had been dreaming about the old man who had passed away many years ago, and she wondered if he was coming to pick her up.
"After Xiaoyue comes out, tell her that the most important thing is to divorce that Zhou guy first. Only by letting go of the past can she embrace a new life. She's still young and has a long life ahead of her. No matter how big the hurdle is, she'll eventually overcome it."
Xia Xi didn't understand: "Why don't you wait until she comes out and tell her in person?"
Grandma shook her head slowly without explaining.
Youyou's eyes rolled around as she looked back and forth between the adults. She smacked her lips and asked, "Who is Xiaoyue? Who is Big Sister? What are you talking about?"
Xia Xi was stunned for a moment, looking at Youyou's confused eyes, and picked up a piece of vegetables that she didn't like with chopsticks. Being picky about food is not good. Then he answered her question: "Xiaoyue is your grandmother's eldest daughter, and she is my sister."
Also your mother.
Xia Xi didn't say the last sentence after all. Let's wait a little longer. Now is not the right time to say it.
Youyou frowned and wanted to pick out the vegetables from the bowl. Xia Xi narrowed his eyes and said "hmm" in a long tone with a warning. Youyou immediately stuffed the vegetables into his mouth, chewed them and swallowed them with the same expression as if he was swallowing medicine.
"Mom's sister? Why haven't I seen her?" Ziheng asked.
Xia Xi: "She did something wrong and was put in solitary confinement by the police. Once she has reflected on her mistakes, she can meet us."
Youyou quickly replied, "Oh, I see. It's just like when I didn't do my homework and hid my homework book, and my mom found out and made me stand against the wall to reflect on my mistakes."
Xia Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Well... I can understand it that way."

After a busy week, Monday arrived. Xia Xi finished the renderings and sent a WeChat message to Xu Yanfeng. She carefully considered the editing process, trying not to be too mechanical, lest he be accused of "playing dumb," but also not to be too enthusiastic, appearing to know him well. It was a difficult situation.
It's even harder than the love letters I wrote to him when I was pursuing him.
Xia Xi: "The renderings are ready and I need your review. Do you want to come to Boya, or should I come find you?"
In order to allow customers to see the villa decoration effect more intuitively, it is best to project it onto the screen and attach the designer’s own explanation.
Xu Yanfeng replied immediately: "Come to Xiting Hotel at 12:30 noon, room 3302."
Xia Xi: “?”
No, why did you book a room in the hotel?
