With some free time at hand, Xia Yue cooked herself a lavish lunch; spicy prawns, smashed cucumber salad, celery fried beef, chicken soup, and white rice.
Having eaten heartily, she began to feel sleepy.
Since she had woke up early in the morning, she directly fell asleep on the couch for her afternoon nap.
Then, she was awakened by the ringing of her mobile phone. She picked it up drowsily, saw it was her big brother Xia Yu, and after staring blankly for a moment, remembered that Xia Yu had brought up something in the morning.
"Big brother." She answered, her voice slightly nasal.
"Yueyue, Xixi and I are outside your house." Xia Yu said.
"Okay, I'll be right there." Xia Yue replied and then ran to the door to let them in after putting on her shoes.
"Big Brother, Xixi." Xia Yue opened the door and greeted Xia Yu and Xia Xi with a smile.
Xia Yu and Xia Xi also greeted her back.
Xia Yue led them into the house, up to the second floor, and into the guest room next to her room.
"Your room is inside, I've put the quilt, bed cover, and pillow in the attic for airing. You can first organize your other stuff." Xia Yue looked at Xia Xi and smiled.
"Okay, thank you." Xia Xi nodded.
The room wasn't small, including a bed, a wardrobe, a dressing table, and a lounge chair.
Xia Yu put Xia Xi's suitcase inside the room.
The three of them then went downstairs and sat on the couch.
Xia Yue handed them a bottle of mineral water.
"I didn't boil any water." Xia Yue said with a laugh
"It's alright, Yueyue, Xixi will have to trouble you for the next couple days, I will find her a good place as soon as possible." Xia Yu said to Xia Yue.
"It's no trouble at all." Xia Yue replied with a smile.
"For the next few days, let me do the cooking." Xia Xi looked at Xia Yue and suggested. She had heard from Xia Yu that Xia Yue loved food, and she, herself, could cook but was a little lazy, often ordering takeout.
"That would be great!" Xia Yue responded, laughing.
"Then, you two get along well. I have to go back to work. Call me if you need anything." Xia Yu said to them.
"Sure, bye big brother." Xia Yue said, smiling.
"Okay, thank you big brother for bringing me here." Xia Xi gave a light smile.
After Xia Yu left, Xia Yue looked at Xia Xi with a curious face.
"What's up?" Xia Xi noticed her gaze, moved a little, and distanced herself from her.
"You can call me Xiaoyue or Yueyue." Xia Yue said with a smile.
"Alright." Xia Xi nodded.
"You are not really like Xia Qing. Although you both look cold, you are genuinely so, while she is somewhat pretentious." Xia Yue observed.
Xia Xi didn't say anything.
"So, how did you get into a fight with them?" Xia Yue asked curiously.
"Differences in living habits. Xia Qing was a bit sarcastic, so I retorted a few times which upset her, then their parents thought I was too harsh and kept comforting her. Was it like this when you lived with them?" Xia Xi gave a brief explanation and looked at Xia Yue.
"Sort of, but I've gotten rid of them now." Xia Yue said, chuckling.
"Oh. My master told me to come back and acknowledge my kin, but aside from having a good relationship with big brother, it doesn't seem so great with the others. I'm now a little doubtful about whether I should go back to Qing City or not." Xia Xi said to Xia Yue.
"Why would you go back? This is your home! If you go back, someone else will take advantage of the situation, which would be such a pity." Xia Yue stated.
"You're right, especially since Xia Qing wants my one percent share of the stocks." Upon hearing Xia Yue's words, Xia Xi nodded.
"Indeed, due to differences in opinion, it shouldn't result in moving out, right?" Xia Yue asked.
"They found my yellow talismans and wanted to throw them away." Xia Xi disclosed.
That explained everything. Xia Yue nodded.
