Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After completing the necessary procedures, Xia He was released, looking disheveled as if he had been mistreated inside.
Xia Hai quickly called for Xia Chen to help support Xia He.
The three of them returned to Xia Hes home, and as they entered, they spotted Xia Yu lurking around the doorway.
Upon seeing Xia Yu, Xia Hes anger flared up even more.
His previously dispirited appearance seemed to have suddenly transformed into one full of vigor.
With a swift kick to Xia Yus backside, Xia He fiercely scolded him, Do you want to kill your father?
Realizing he had caused trouble, Xia Yu held his backside and exclaimed, Ouch, ouch, as he scurried behind Xia Hai.
Chen Lian heard Xia Hes voice and hurriedly rushed out, not bothering to thank Xia Hai. She grabbed Xia He and led him into the house.
She looked concerned and said, How did things escalate to this point in such a short time?
That place is not fit for humans! Fortunately, Im strong, or they would have killed me! Xia He was full of indignation.
Xia Hai and Xia Chen exchanqed glances and turned to leave.
Xia Yu grabbed Xia Hais hand and pleaded, Uncle, can you take me away? I have nowhere to go tonight!
Despite Xia Chens reluctance, Xia Hai brought Xia Yu back home.
Upon seeing Xia Yu return with Xia Hai, Yan Han, though surprised, quickly arranged a place for him to stay.
Meanwhile, Xia Wan stayed in her room, refusing to communicate with Xia Ye and Xia Yu.
Early the next morning, Ke Xin handed carefully prepared snacks to Xia Ye.
Xia Ye, I noticed you and Xia Wan came to school together today. To please you, Ive been putting a lot of effort into these little things recently.
Xia Ye didnt reach for the snacks Ke Xin was holding out, and her expression remained gloomy.
After spending the night at Xia Wans house, Xia Ye was even more frustrated by her unfair treatment at home.
The bedding provided by Yan Han was soft and comfortable, a far cry from the bedding at her own home, which hadnt been changed in years.
Earlier that morning, Yan Han had even prepared breakfast for them, ensuring they were well-fed before heading to school. Such treatment was unprecedented in Xia Yes household.
The more Xia Ye thought about it, the angrier she became. With a sharp flick, she tossed the snacks Ke Xin had offered onto the ground.
Ke Xins expression changed momentarily, but she quickly put on a smile and asked, Whats wrong? Is something bothering you?
Without responding, Xia Yes stone-faced expression made her feelings clear.
Ke Xin handed her a flyer, saying, Come on! Lets have some fun!
Xia Ye glanced at the black-and-white flyer and her expression changed accordingly.
The towns cinema had been open for a while, and several romantic movies were said to be showing.
Xia Ye had been pestering Chen Lian for money, wanting to experience the atmosphere of the cinema. However, Chen Lian had consistently refused.
She knew Xia Yu had secretly gone several times already.
She had found several movie ticket stubs in his pockets!
I dont have money! While Xia Ye was eager to go, there was no way she could get money from her.
Ke Xin didnt mind, and she smiled, saying, The boss gave me two movie tickets, and I didnt know who to go with. Theyre real!
Really? Xia Ye raised an eyebrow, clearly excited.
Am I lying to you? Ke Xin tucked the movie tickets into Xia Yes hand.
Seeing those tickets, Xia Ye couldnt contain her excitement.
Finally, after enduring the school day, Xia Ye was about to pull Ke Xin to go to town when she saw Xia Yu standing at the school gate, clutching his stomach.
Xia Ye wanted to act like she hadnt seen him, but Xia Yu promptly called out to her, Sister! Where are you going? Your brother is here!
Xia Ye quickened her pace, but Ke Xin held her back. That person seems to be calling you. What should we do?
With her eyes closed, Xia Ye whispered, I dont know him. Lets go.
Xia Yu had appeared here likely because he couldnt get money at home and had come to her for help.
She didnt intend to let Xia Yu ruin her good mood! As expected, Xia Yu approached them despite Xia Yes attempt to ignore him.
I called you, didnt you hear me? Do you have any money? Give me some! Xia Yu held out his palm in front of Xia Ye.
Ke Xin looked surprised at Xia Yus behavior. She hadnt expected Xia Yes family members to be like this, just like Xia Wans family members, except for Xia Ru..
