Xu Zhuohua shook her head. "No one wants to come. Don't do anything that will ruin my impression of you. Let's just forget about it."
The two were arguing when footsteps came from outside. Xu Jiyi was pushed behind the door by Xu Zhuohua, who then covered him with a blanket.
After doing all this, she sat back down in her chair.
The door opened, and there was Xu Minghua, who was also holding a blanket in her arms.
Xu Zhuohua frowned. What was this young lady up to? Was she trying to curry favor?
Xu Minghua walked up to the stunned Xu Zhuohua and threw the blanket in his hand onto Xu Zhuohua's head.
Covering the head and face...
"Here, this is for you, it's cold at night."
Xu Zhuohua poked her head out from under the blanket, "What...do you mean?"
Xu Minghua crossed his arms, raised his chin, and exuded that arrogant air again.
"I'm not trying to be nice to you. I'm just too kind-hearted. I was worried you'd catch a fever from the cold at night, so I took pity on you and helped you out."
Xu Zhuohua touched the thick blanket in her arms, a warm feeling rising in her heart, and said softly, "Thank you."
Even in the dim candlelight, Xu Zhuohua still saw a hint of shyness flash across Xu Minghua's face, followed by a silent smile.
"I...I'm leaving. Don't tell anyone I was here."
Xu Zhuohua nodded, and Xu Minghua turned and left.
She had barely opened the door a crack when, as if she saw someone, she turned around, snatched the blanket from Xu Zhuohua's arms, ran behind the door, squatted down, and covered herself with the blanket.
Xu Zhuohua stared speechlessly at the two siblings on either side of the door, both dressed identically.
Who's here again?
The ancestral hall is really lively tonight.
The door opened again, and this time the person who came was someone Xu Zhuohua never expected.
Xu Jixin, the second son of the Xu family.
In the original owner's memories, it seemed as if this person did not exist; there was no record of him at all.
Xu Jixin was also holding a blanket in his arms...
Were all of the Xu family's blankets brought to the ancestral hall tonight?
Xu Jixin stood at the door, keeping a distance from Xu Zhuohua, seemingly intentionally.
Fortunately, he didn't go any further, otherwise he would have seen his strangely shaped younger brother and sister on either side of the door.
"It's cold at night, here's a blanket for you."
Xu Zhuohua stood there stunned. "Huh?"
Xu Jixin threw the blanket over Xu Zhuohua, covering him like an Indian roti.
“I can’t bear to see my sister kneeling alone in the ancestral hall as punishment. It’s so cold, I don’t want her to get sick.”
Xu Zhuohua asked, "Are we... very familiar with each other?"
Xu Jixin was quite frank, saying, "We're not familiar with each other."
Yeah, we're not familiar with each other at all, we've barely even met a few times.
In the original owner's memory, Xu Jixin was a mischievous monkey, skilled at climbing trees to raid bird holes and catching toads to dissect.
"But we'll get to know each other after tomorrow. I'm also studying at Aurora University, in the medical school."
"..."
Xu Zhuohua was stunned. He was an alumnus?
He dissected toads as a child, and now he dissects human bodies. It really is true... you can tell a person's future from their age at three...
"You're also studying at Aurora University?"
Xu Jixin smiled, and Xu Zhuohua stared wide-eyed. To be honest, the Xu family children were all quite good-looking, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, an upright demeanor, and tall, with attractive figures.
"Perhaps we can go to Aurora together every day, and there will be plenty of opportunities to get to know each other in the future."
Xu Zhuohua felt a bit troubled. What exactly did Xu Jixin want? He was being unusually attentive; there was no doubt about his intentions. She had to be careful.
Suddenly, there was a muffled sound in the courtyard. Xu Jixin turned around and saw a person squatting on the ground in the distance, dressed in a servant's clothes, fiddling with something.
Xu Jixin immediately closed the door of the ancestral hall and said, "Mother probably sent someone to supervise you. Give this blanket back to me."
He snatched the blanket from Xu Zhuohua's arms and hurriedly hid behind the door, bumping right into Xu Jiyi.
Both of them were startled, but they instinctively covered each other's mouths.
Because the footsteps had already reached the door.
