From a distance, Shi Xi could see her whole family standing at the entrance of the Shi family home, waiting for her.
After getting off the bus, she ran like a pet to her family members' arms, hugging them one by one.
"Mom and Dad, older brother and second brother, I'm back."
"Welcome home." Shi Hao patted Shi Xi's head; little Xi was as adorable as ever.
"Xiaoxi, Xiaochen, let's go inside first. We can talk about it inside." Father Shi looked kindly at his two children returning home.
"Dad, Mom, please go first." Di Chenxiao didn't politely play the role of a junior.
"We're all family, there's no need for so many formalities. Just do whatever you like."
"good."
As soon as Shi Xi entered the door, she lazily leaned against the sofa, feeling that it was still more comfortable to be at home.
"Flying must be tiring!" Shi's mother massaged Shi Xi's shoulders.
"Mom, don't massage me. I'm not tired. I fell asleep as soon as I got on the plane. By the time I woke up, we were already home."
"You! How old are you? It's good that Xiao Chen accompanied you. I wouldn't feel comfortable if it were anyone else! Xiao Chen, you must be very tired taking care of Xiao Xi!"
"Mom... I'm a very good and obedient girl!"
Di Chenxiao chuckled softly, "Not tired at all. Being with Xixi is not tiring at all."
“Xiao Xi, this girl looks unfamiliar. I wonder who she is?” Shi’s mother looked at Mi Rou, whom she had never seen before and who had returned with Xiao Xi.
“Madam, my name is Mi Rou, and I am…” Mi Rou was interrupted by Shi Xi before she could finish speaking.
"Mom, Mi Rou is a friend I met in Country A. She has no relatives there, so I brought her home." She wouldn't dare let a top-ranked assassin from the world become her servant. Anyway, Mi Rou gets up early every day to make her breakfast and doesn't let Mi Rou sleep in, which should be considered punishment for Mi Rou's mistake of scratching her.
"Oh, you're Xiaoxi's friend. Please make yourself at home here. Don't be shy. And don't call me 'Madam' or anything. If you don't mind, Mirou, could you call me Aunt Mo?"
"Hello, Aunt Mo," Mi Rou greeted softly.
Mi Rou couldn't understand why Shi Xi, who had been deliberately making things difficult for her in the past few days, was treating her differently today.
"Uncle Song, please prepare a bedroom for Mi Rou to stay in later. She'll be staying here for now," Shi Xi said gently to the housekeeper, Uncle Song.
"Okay, Miss. Miss Mirou, what style of decoration do you prefer? I'll rearrange the room for you."
"Uncle Song, just call me Mi Rou. I'm not picky, as long as I can stay, thank you Uncle Song." Mi Rou was a little shy about Uncle Song calling her Miss Mi Rou.
Uncle Song responded with an "okay".
Shi Xi suddenly stood up and ran to Di Jiu's suitcase. "I took a suitcase with me when I left, and I brought another one back. These are all gifts I brought for you."
"It's enough that he's back, why bring any gifts!" Mother Shi's lips curled up, unable to hide her joy.
"Sister, sister, where is my gift?" Shi Han rushed to Shi Xi's side, opened the box for her, and took out the gift inside.
"These are some local specialties from Country A that I think are alright. You're not allowed to look down on them."
"I don't mind, I don't mind. If anyone dares to complain, my second brother will be the first to not let them off the hook."
"Thank you, Second Brother. These weren't just picked by me; Xiao Xiao and I picked them together." Shi Xi distributed the gifts one by one.
"Uncle Song, this is your gift."
Uncle Song had just finished instructing the servants to tidy up the room when he received a gift from Shi Xi. "I have a gift? Thank you, Miss."
You're welcome!
Upon receiving the gift, Shi Han suddenly asked, "Xiao Xi, I remember you don't like wearing turtlenecks. Why did you decide to wear one today?"
