Xia Wensheng's guess was indeed correct; Ke Shurong sent a WeChat message in the group at noon.
Tell the two of them that they have set off directly to their uncle's house today, and tell them to take good care of themselves at home. If any guests come to pay their respects, tell them that the adults are not here.
Lin Shen also had things to do at home, so he went home first after dinner. Only the two young people were left at home again.
"Huanhuan's parents are going back tomorrow. I'll see them off. You'll stay home by yourself."
"Leaving so early? Go ahead, I'm not two years old, it's perfectly normal for me to be home alone."
Xia Wensheng knew this, of course, but that didn't stop him from casually offering a word of advice.
"It's Chinese New Year, and Huanhuan's parents are worried about guests coming to their house. Besides, Huanhuan will be going back to work after the New Year and will be very busy."
Upon hearing the words "guests have arrived," Xia Wenxi immediately looked up.
"Are we going to have guests coming to our house too?"
When I was a child, what I feared most during Chinese New Year was having guests come to my house or visiting relatives at other people's houses.
"Not necessarily. When people arrive, ask your parents first. If they are important friends or relatives, entertain them. If they are not, just say that the adults are not here."
“However…” Xia Wensheng rarely had the conscience to comfort Xia Wenxi, “Don’t worry, we don’t have any important relatives right now.”
Xia Wenxi quickly replied, "Even if you have one, don't come tomorrow."
"Why are you so socially anxious, kid?"
...
The second day of the Lunar New Year.
Xia Wenxi stayed in bed until noon, and since no one told her that there were guests at home, she went downstairs for lunch without worry.
After finishing a peaceful lunch for one, Xia Wenxi breathed a sigh of relief.
That's life; it can suddenly deliver a fatal blow when you're relaxed.
"Miss, a guest has come to pay New Year's visits. She says she's your cousin's younger brother's daughter. May I let her in?"
After receiving a report from the security personnel outside the community, the housekeeper came to ask Xia Wenxi how to handle the situation and whether to let the person in.
Xia Wenxi remembered the last time her father and Xia Wensheng came back from there. Xia Wensheng said that her grandfather favored her uncle's family, so he and her father left first.
They've already had a fight, why are they still visiting? Isn't there a clear problem? A huge problem at that.
Therefore, Xia Wenxi was undecided, and she didn't know the other person at all, nor did she know if she had met him before.
Xia Wenxi wanted to just say that no one was home, but to be on the safe side, she still called her father.
Xia Hengyuan frowned when he found out. What were his parents and brother trying to do? Did they not dare to come themselves, so they sent their daughter instead?
He had no problem with his niece, but not disliking her didn't mean he liked her.
He let people in today, so there will be a second and a third time. Sooner or later, the whole family will have to come.
After receiving her father's reply, Xia Wenxi hung up the phone and told Butler Zhou, "Just say there's no one home."
Butler Zhou nodded and went outside the gate to see the person off.
But just as Butler Zhou finished speaking, Xia Wensheng's car returned.
Moreover, Xia Wensheng saw Xia Yulu's back and didn't react at all; he only saw Butler Zhou there before parking the car.
He even rolled down the car window to greet us, "Uncle Zhou, do you have guests at home?"
"Cousin."
"Lulu."
Xia's smile froze slightly upon hearing this. "You came all by yourself?"
Xia Wensheng didn't see anyone else, only Xia Yulu and the two gifts placed at her feet.
Now that he's back, he can't just say there's no one home.
What else can we do?
"Get in the car, come to my house and have a seat."
Xia Wensheng told Xia Yulu to get into the car, then looked at Butler Zhou, but Butler Zhou shook his head, indicating that he should go first.
After Xia Wensheng's car left, Butler Zhou immediately called Xia Wenxi.
Get to the point as soon as the call connects:
"Miss! The guests had already left, but then they heard a sound, so he had to take them back. You..."
Xia Wenxi immediately understood what he meant, "I understand, I'll hide."
Xia Wenxi quickly got up and ran upstairs, but halfway there she came back and took away her water cup and half-eaten snacks.
She ran while speechless, thinking to herself, "What kind of mess is this? I have to hide from guests who come to my house! It's all Xia Wensheng's fault. Why did she have to come back at this time of year?"
After returning to her room, Xia Wenxi immediately sent a message in the family group chat to accuse Xia Wensheng and warn him not to let anything slip later.
Xia Xiaoxi (Happy Chinese New Year Version): [Remember, I'm not home right now!]
Xia Xiaoxi (Happy New Year Version): [Why did you come back now? I hate you @A-Hengyuan Group Xia Wensheng]
Xia Hengyuan (father of two): [What happened?]
Xia Wenxi explained the situation to her father again, pretending that she was not home, but Xia Wensheng suddenly came back, causing her to have to hide and cause this big misunderstanding!
As soon as they got out of the car, Xia Wensheng led the people inside while taking out his phone to check the messages. He was speechless when he saw the messages.
It was indeed too much of a coincidence, but Xia Yulu was just a young girl carrying so many things. If he didn't see her, that would be fine, but if he did see her, it wouldn't be appropriate to just tell her to leave like that. Besides, it wouldn't sound good if word got out.
"Please sit down for a while. Unfortunately, my parents have gone to visit relatives out of town, and Xiaoxi has also gone out to see friends. Neither of them are home today."
Xia Yulu shook her head and said it was okay.
He took out his phone to check the time and decided to leave after sitting for half an hour.
Today, her mother and father took her brother to their maternal grandmother's house, but they deliberately didn't take her. Instead, they made her come to her uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings.
She told her parents that her uncle and aunt might not be home on the second day of the Lunar New Year, but they said that if they weren't home, she should wait there until they came back.
They also told her to talk about her dad's job whenever she met someone.
Xia Yulu couldn't refuse her parents, and the only thing she could do to make her own decisions was to keep quiet and not say a word.
Xia Wensheng didn't really know what to say, but he was too embarrassed to leave the person hanging, so he could only make small talk.
"Are you still in college?"
"Um."
What year are you in?
"Sophomore year."
"Oh, study hard."
"good."
While thinking of topics, Xia Wensheng tagged his father in the group chat.
Should I give them a red envelope (cash gift)?
[@Xia Hengyuan (Father of two)]
Xia Hengyuan (father of two): [One bag is fine too, you decide.]
Xia Wensheng was speechless. What kind of answer was that?!
Remembering that his father had given him a red envelope last year, Xia Wensheng got up to get money and a red envelope, the amount of which wasn't much.
"Take this red envelope and study hard."
"Thank you, cousin."
Xia Yulu accepted it without hesitation.
Half an hour had almost passed, so she got up to say goodbye.
After seeing the person off, Xia Wensheng breathed a sigh of relief and sent a message to Xia Wenxi saying that she could come downstairs now.
As soon as Xia Wenxi came downstairs, she said angrily, "Xia Wensheng! You're home tomorrow, I'm going out."
