The two of them had yet to see the other two and seemed to be looking for someone.
Xiang Huai: “…I suddenly find it interesting!”
Lin Jing smiled. “As a mother, I didn’t cheat you, right?!”
The moment she said this, she raised her hand and waved at the distance. “Ye Li, Sister!”
Hearing her voice, Ye Li looked over and her eyes lit up. She brought Xue Xi over and when she got close, Ye Li saw Xiang Huai, who was three people away from Lin Jing. She was stunned. “Xiao Xiang? Why are you here?”
Xiang Huai pretended to be shocked. “Auntie? Xixi? Are you guys here to watch the play too?”
Ye Li nodded.
Xue Xi looked at him in confusion.
Didn’t this man say that he’d be very busy during the weekend? Was he busy watching a play?
Just as everyone was having their own thoughts, Lin Jing asked in surprise, “This is?”
Xiang Huai: “…”
Ye Li did not suspect anything and explained, “This is my daughter’s boyfriend.”
Lin Jing turned to look at Xue Xi.
She had been trying to get close to Ye Li for two months just to trick her daughter into coming to her house. It was her first time meeting her daughter-in-law, and Lin Jing simply found this opportunity too hard to come by.
She smiled and held Xue Xi’s hand as she looked at the young lady’s face.
Big eyes, a high nose bridge, and red lips.
The rascal was quite lucky. His girlfriend was actually so beautiful and obedient. It made one feel happy when they saw her. Girls were so nice. They were soft and fragrant, unlike the rascal. If he married her and she called her Mom…
Being held up by Lin Jing, Xue Xi felt that the other party’s gaze was a little warm. She was still not used to this kind of enthusiasm, so she instinctively looked at Ye Li and called for help, “Mom…”
“Aye!”
“Aye!”
Lin Jing and Ye Li replied at the same time.
Xiang Huai, who was standing beside her: “?”
Xue Xi, Ye Li, and Xiang Huai then turned to look at Lin Jing.
Lin Jing: “…”
It was her fault for being immersed in her own imagination. She thought that Xue Xi had already married the rascal and so she lost her composure. She coughed and said, “Sigh, I only have one son and have never had a daughter. I was imagining that I have a daughter, so just now I thought that Xue Xi was my daughter!”
Ye Li could not help but laugh.
Lin Jing’s brain twitched and she said, “Why don’t I acknowledge your daughter as my goddaughter?”
Xiang Huai: “?”
Xiang Huai coughed. Just as he was about to remind her not to spout nonsense, he heard Ye Li say, “That’ll be good. My daughter only returned home to us when she was 18 years old. There are still too few people who love her. If she had a godmother, she will love her as much as I do in the future!”
Lin Jing nodded. “I’ll definitely treat Xixi well!”
Ye Li also became excited. “Our Xixi doesn’t have any siblings. I sometimes worry about what I’d do if Xiao Xiang bullies her in the future. Now, your son is my daughter’s godbrother!”
Lin Jing: “?”
She finally realized that something was amiss.
Why was their relationship in a mess? Did they now have a sibling relationship?
However, her mouth was always faster than her brain and she spoke in a grand manner. Hence, she said, “No problem. In the future, my son will be your son. Whoever bullies Xixi will be beaten up by my son!”
Xiang Huai: “…If I bully my girlfriend in the future, I’ll hit myself. Mhm, very good. You’re really my biological mother.”
Everyone had arrived and were queuing up. Everyone entered the venue and realized that the tickets Xiang Huai had bought were coincidentally connected to Xue Xi.
When watching a play, one had to be focused. This was a form of respect for the actors.
Hence, the four of them were fine.
After watching the play, they finally separated.
However, when they separated, Xue Xi’s godbrother had already become her biological brother. Lin Jing and Ye Li had also become biological sisters.
It was rare for Ye Li to meet such a good friend, so she was reluctant to part with Lin Jing. In the end, she pointed at Xiang Huai and said, “Right, ask your son to learn more from Xiao Xiang. What kind of girlfriend can’t he bring home?! Your son has already become my son. If he comes to visit me another day, I’ll get Xiao Xiang to chat with him.”
Lin Jing: “No problem.”
Xiang Huai: “…Very good.” His biological mother had given him the task of beating himself up, and his mother-in-law had given him the task of chatting with himself.
These two were indeed biological sisters.
The corners of Xiang Huai’s lips twitched as he sent Ye Li and Xue Xi home.
When she reached downstairs, Ye Li found an excuse to enter the house while Xiang Huai and Xue Xi chatted outside.
Xiang Huai said, “Little kid, you have a godbrother now. How do you feel?”
Xue Xi: “…Not bad, but from what Godma said, that brother doesn’t seem so smart?”
Xiang Huai: “?”
Xue Xi sighed. “I’ll still have to take care of him in the future.”
Xiang Huai: “…”
He suddenly felt a little jealous. “Then who do you like more, your godbrother or me?”
Xue Xi: “…You.”
Xiang Huai was overjoyed. Before he left, he suddenly smiled. “Little kid, you must also like your godbrother, understand?”
Xue Xi: “…Oh.”
Why did she feel that there was something wrong with his smile?
…
As long as Xue Xi was at home, she would be a huge baby.
Ye Li had to personally send her off for everything and wished that she could feed her. Xue Sheng was jealous, but he turned around and treated his daughter even better. He wished that he could carry Xue Xi down the stairs.
During the meal, Xue Xi picked up some food for Ye Li. Xue Sheng looked at her eagerly and waited for her to serve him.
Xue Xi: “…”
It was finally Monday. She finally escaped from the two people who were fighting for her favor and returned to the school. Xue Xi heaved a sigh of relief.
There were classes on Monday’s first period. As usual, Xue Xi went to the classroom. On the way, she lowered her head and sent Li Zixia a WeChat message, asking her to help bring her textbooks to the classroom.
As she walked, she coincidentally bumped into Liu Zhao.
The two of them walked in the same direction, and their speed was about the same. There was not much difference between them. Once Xue Xi sensed her, she retracted her gaze and ignored her. After this person moved away, she stayed in a mixed dormitory in another class. As she had joined them late, the others had already made friends, so she was now alone.
But though she ignored Liu Zhao, she spoke first. “Xue Xi, are you very smug?”
Xue Xi: “?”
Liu Zhao took two quick steps and came to her side. The two of them walked forward at the same time. “You chased me out of the dormitory and became the most popular person in the class. You’re also the school belle. How glorious.”
Xue Xi ignored her and felt that this person was a little annoying.
Just as she was about to speed up and surpass her, Liu Zhao said, “However, there is a saying that goes, when water is full, it is overflowing. Since you offended Mr. Guo, that is equivalent to offending his teacher, Professor Derry!”
Xue Xi: “…”
Liu Zhao smiled. “By the way, I heard that Professor Derry is coming to the school for a seminar today and Director Feng will personally receive him. Moreover, I heard that Professor Derry is here to choose an exchange student. This exchange student will be chosen from the freshmen.”
Among the freshmen, other than Xue Xi, the highest scorer in the college entrance examination was Liu Zhao.
Liu Zhao smiled smugly. “Thank you for pushing such a good opportunity to me. Professor Derry will be coming to our class to sit in later. I heard that Mr. Guo will be accompanying him! Heh, Mr. Guo was just chased out by you last week. Today, he came in as Professor Derry’s student. Don’t you think it’s ridiculous? Also, I advise you to skip a class in case Mr. Guo makes things difficult for you!”
