Chapter 13

Xiao Xue had always loathed her occasional flashes of violent nature. Many times, there were things she didn't want to say,
things she didn't want to do, but the manic genes she inherited from her father would always come and
go , forcing her to say things that would definitely hurt others and do things that she would definitely regret. She couldn't control it;
her rationality wasn't strong enough. After all, she was still immature. She also didn't know
how long she would have to wait, or how mature she would have to become, before she could completely control them.

Perhaps it was because of this that she disliked her father more and more. Especially as she grew older, her language
became richer, her actions became more forceful, and the destruction she caused became more intense, so intense that it was no longer
something to laugh off, she even began to hate Xiao Sen. If it weren't for Xiao Sen's genes, how could she have the heart to hurt such
a gentle and kind mother?

Feeling the soft, warm body trembling slightly in her arms, Xiao Xue quickly wiped away her tears,
gently loosened her arms, intending to let Ling Chen sit on the bed. Unexpectedly, Ling Chen suddenly reached out and hugged her, pressing his body tightly against
hers, his head firmly buried in her shoulder, seemingly having completely lost the strength to stand, or perhaps not wanting her
to see his tearful face. Xiao Xue sighed inwardly, paused for a moment, and seeing that the situation hadn't
improved, had no choice but to sit down as well, hugging Ling Chen tightly.

Gradually, their positions became more distinct. It wasn't Xiao Xue nestled in her mother's arms, but Ling Chen
leaning against her daughter's chest. This made Xiao Xue feel a mixture of self-reproach and confusion, along with a sense of superior pride and
pity . Her mother was naturally a weak person; once truly heartbroken, she would never
recover as quickly as her mother. Perhaps, she had finally reached the age where she could stand on equal footing with her mother, and might even
have to take on the responsibility of comforting and standing up for her. Thinking of this, Xiao Xue felt even more smug, gently
stroking Ling Chen's back and rocking him back and forth as if soothing a crying baby.

But how could such a weak and honest mother guarantee that Liu Xin would actually like her? If her
judgment were truly that accurate, she wouldn't have married her father in the first place. Her so-called "guarantees" were mostly just empty words to
comfort herself. This thought immediately sank Xiao Xue's spirits again. Seeing that Ling Chen seemed calmer,
she couldn't help but ask, "Mom, do you really think my senior brother will like me?"

Ling Chen tensed, paused for a moment, then slowly raised his head, rubbed his eyes, smiled apologetically,
and said , "Of course."

"But...but he wouldn't even say a few words to me just now..."

Xiao Xue said, almost scolding her mother again, then quickly stopped, looking at Ling
Chen with pleading eyes.

Ling Chen reached out and smoothed Xiao Xue's long hair behind her shoulder, then straightened her collar. He said thoughtfully, "Don't
think that Mom was wrong to tell him. Haven't you always been worried that he only sees you as a little sister? Now that you
've said it outright, even if he doesn't explicitly accept it right now, he'll definitely be more interested
in you in the future. As long as he's willing to continue seeing you, you'll have plenty of opportunities to win him over with your gentleness, thoughtfulness, intelligence, cuteness, and pure, devoted love
. Any man in the world would be moved by a girl as pitiful as you
."

"Isn't love supposed to be mutual, a union of body and soul? If he's only moved by my devotion and likes my
appearance, what kind of love is that?"

Ling Chen looked at Xiao Xue with surprise, a dismissive smile on his lips. "Men's love is inherently
closely related to appearance, and it can even be said to be determined by appearance."

Xiao Xue knew Ling Chen was right, but she didn't want to easily give up her pure fantasy of perfect love.
"My senior brother isn't an ordinary man. Otherwise, he wouldn't have waited so devotedly for Aunt An Zhao to go to America,
nor would he still be single after more than a year back in Shenzhen."

Ling Chen's face tightened, then he explained, "That's probably because he was focused on his studies before, and now
he's focused on his work, so he doesn't have much time to think about these things."

At this point, Ling Chen seemed to have figured something out, and his speech gradually quickened. "But he's always been
willing to take the time to care for you and help you. From when you were ten until now, he's always understood you.
Isn't that enough to develop true love? Most love stories aren't love at first sight, but rather
love that grows over time . Those romantic stories in novels and movies, even if they were real, would only have a one in ten thousand chance.
Would you really want to fall in love with someone you don't understand at all?"

Xiao Xue couldn't find any words to refute Ling Chen, so she lowered her head and secretly smiled.

She had actually thought about these things countless times, each time being
completely . After her mother's resolute confirmation, those
thoughts that had once filled her with such hatred yet remained so difficult to shake off vanished completely, not even a trace. Xiao Xue couldn't help but believe that
those thoughts were utterly unfounded, perhaps never even having existed. It was all just her own
anxious and unfounded overthinking.

Ling Chen reached out and lifted Xiao Xue's face, looking at it before cradling it in her hands. "Silly child, don't you
believe what your mother says? When have I ever lied to you?"

"Mom—"

Xiao Xue murmured, moved by the maternal love radiating from Ling Chen's face, momentarily speechless.

"Believe in Mom, believe that Mom would never let you suffer any injustice, believe that Mom is willing to
do anything for your happiness,"

Ling Chen murmured, as if reaffirming Xiao Xue's faith, or perhaps
reaffirming .

Xiao Xue grasped Ling Chen's hands, pressing them tightly against her face. "Mom, I believe you. I'm sorry. It was
all my fault..."

Ling Chen hugged Xiao Xue again, smiling as he said, "It's not entirely your fault. I
acted impulsively when I saw your senior brother was leaving. I didn't tell you beforehand."

Xiao Xue snuggled closer to Ling Chen, finding a comfortable position, and whispered, "Actually...
even if you hadn't said anything, I probably would have. I was really angry and disappointed then."

"You child. You're clearly taking it out on your mother!"

Ling Chen nudged Xiao Xue's shoulder, playfully scolding her, then laughed. "It's better if I say it.
A girl shouldn't be too proactive, or a man will be scared."

Xiao Xue deliberately feigned a panicked tone. "Really? But I've been proactive enough already."

"How did you become proactive?"

Ling Chen seemed a little worried.

"Mom's so easy to fool," Xiao Xue thought, finally unable to suppress a laugh. "I liked him first, isn't that being
proactive? Hehe..."

"This child, I thought something was wrong. Hehe..."

Ling Chen's arm tightened around her.

Was her mother's embrace warmer, or Liu Xin's? Thinking this, Xiao Xue's face flushed,
and she mentally cursed: "Look at how cold he is all day, how could he possibly be as warm as Mom
? Harder, more like it. That stinky senior brother. That damn Liu Xin." But such curses clearly couldn't suppress the sudden
shyness; instead, they made her face burn even more, and her chest scalded. Especially when she first
used , a strange yet intimate feeling surged through her, almost making her jump.

Xiao Xue involuntarily arched her head, feeling Ling Chen's breasts, and suddenly thought of something, so she asked, "Mom,
how can I become fuller and more shapely?"

"Didn't I tell you before that you don't need to worry about this? Silly child. You've always practiced dance, your figure is definitely
not bad. Didn't your senior brother praise your looks?"

Xiao Xue's face, which had just begun to quiet down, immediately became flushed again. "Who knows if he's telling the truth?
Hmph! A businessman like him, lying is as easy as eating candy!"

"Do you think your senior brother would lie to you?"

"How should I know? Anyway, he's often not telling the truth. Every time I ask him about homework, he always says I'm stupid."

Ling Chen gently patted Xiao Xue's shoulder and teased, "You are stupid to begin with. You always
ask your senior brother those stupid questions that you can do yourself. Maybe he already found out."

"I was afraid he wouldn't remember his high school lessons, hehe..."

Ling Chen laughed for a while, then paused and suddenly asked, "By the way, what did you and your senior brother
do ? Tell Mom."

Xiao Xue's heart skipped a beat. Ignoring whether Ling Chen would notice the blush still on her face, she looked up and asked back:
"Mom, why are you asking this?"

Ling Chen answered casually and naturally, "To help you analyze whether your senior brother
likes ."

Xiao Xue finally felt relieved, lowered her head again, and said softly, "Nothing much. He came in and asked me
to change my clothes for him to see. I didn't dare to be angry with him, so I changed. He seemed very surprised when he saw it, and then
he praised me for looking good." "

He didn't say anything else?"

Xiao Xue hesitated for a while, but finally suppressed her shyness and answered in a groaning tone, "He said... I said
I would wear this outfit when I see him from now on and ask him if it's okay. He said yes, and that I was really good."

Ling Chen didn't speak for a long time, and the hand on Xiao Xue's shoulder seemed to be trembling slightly again.

Even if this doesn't mean that my senior brother likes me, it definitely doesn't mean that he doesn't like me. Why is Mom
so agitated? Xiao Xue was a little surprised and worried, so she looked up and asked, "Mom, what's wrong? Is something
wrong?"

Ling Chen's arm twitched, but quickly stopped. "N-nothing...nothing. What did your senior brother do at the time?"

Xiao Xue wasn't sure if she should voice her surprise, so she answered Ling Chen's question first. "Nothing
much, it seemed...it seemed like he brushed my hair. I can't remember."

"His expression? Do you remember?"

"A very strange expression. I can't quite

put my finger on it." Seeing Ling Chen nod and remain silent, Xiao Xue became even more worried. "Mom, what exactly
happened ?"

Ling Chen stood up gently and smiled, "Don't ask anymore, your senior brother will definitely contact you tomorrow.
Hehe ...Mom's going to take a shower, you go too."

After saying that, she turned and left, quickly walking downstairs.

Xiao Xue's surprise was instantly replaced by an overwhelming excitement.

The next day, Xiao Xue resisted the urge to dial that familiar number, waiting until eight o'clock in the evening before Liu Xin finally
appeared online. But a minute passed, and he didn't speak; three minutes passed, and he still
didn't speak; ten minutes passed, and he still didn't speak. He even suddenly disappeared for a while before flashing
back, as if he intended to keep flashing like that until Xiao Xue was dizzy. "

I don't believe you can stay silent forever. Anyway, I've already waited a whole night and a day, so I'm not afraid of waiting a few more minutes." Xiao
Xue stiffened her fingers, opened the chat window, and hovered the mouse over the ugly avatar of Zhang Fei glaring at her,
wishing she could grab him off the screen and bite him.

Suddenly, the user information popped up, defiantly positioned in the middle.

"That wretched guy! He came and didn't say anything, do you want to die?!"

Xiao Xue muttered softly, a mix of sweetness and bitterness in her heart. Ultimately, she couldn't bear
the torment and had to flick the mouse to press the video request.

After a long while, Liu Xin's unusually calm and quiet face finally appeared on the screen, but she still didn't speak.
She just stared at Xiao Xue with a distant, almost otherworldly gaze, as if waiting for her to reveal the
secrets .

Under that gaze, Xiao Xue froze, unable to move for a long time. Even the sudden
heat of shyness and the pounding of her heart gradually faded away like drifting clouds. She dared not move, afraid that
any movement might cause this beautiful moment to vanish forever. This moment she had longed for so long, this
moment that would forever remain deep within her heart, she was even willing to exchange her life for it, willing to
abandon everything to make it last a few more seconds. Every part of it, every detail, every ray of light, every color,
and every possible sound, every subtle movement, was worth remembering for a lifetime. If she failed to remember them
all , what awaited her would be a lifetime of regret.

After an unknown amount of time, Liu Xin's cautious greeting finally came from the speakers. "Xiaoxue? What's wrong? Are you
still angry with me?"

Xiaoxue then realized that she should have acted angry first. As she hesitated, she noticed
the nervous look on Liu Xin's face, and her heart immediately softened. She lowered her head, smiled, and replied softly, "No, I'm not angry anymore
."

Liu Xin's tone became much more relaxed. "Then why aren't you moving? Are you playing dumb? I thought there was something wrong with
the internet , and I was about to turn it off."

"You..."

Sensing the subtle teasing in Liu Xin's words, Xiao Xue couldn't help but exclaim. Looking up and seeing his gentle and kind
eyes, she suddenly forgot what she was going to say. She could only grit her teeth, clench her fist, and say resentfully,
"One day I'll show you what I'm capable of. You stinky senior, just you wait."

Liu Xin pretended to dodge, becoming even more cheeky. "No need to wait. I already know
how capable you are. Your special move is just pretending to be crazy and acting like a shrew. Every time you use that trick, I can only
surrender . Have you forgotten?"

"You're talking nonsense. When did I act like a shrew? Let me tell you, my real special move is to act cute, coquettish, and
pitiful . Never seen it before? Want me to show you now?"

As Xiao Xue spoke, she flicked her pinky finger and gave him a big, flirtatious wink. "My lord, my birthday is coming
up soon . What gift are you planning to give me?"

Liu Xin was taken aback. "Alright, alright. Your trick is really amazing, it almost scared me to death! Hehe..."

Seeing Liu Xin's unnatural smile, Xiao Xue's joking mood faded. She didn't like that
way of speaking. If she hadn't inexplicably wanted Liu Xin to know that she also had a seductive side, she would never have
used that method to remind him of her upcoming birthday. Actually, why did she need to remind him? Liu Xin would definitely remember
her birthday. Hadn't he always remembered before? He even gave her this camera last year. Thinking of
this , Xiao Xue pinched her thigh, as a form of self-punishment.

"Xiao Xue? Why are you silent again? What are you thinking about?"

Liu Xin's voice suddenly became unusually gentle, completely devoid of any teasing tone.

Xiao Xue's heart fluttered, and all her regret was immediately thrown to the winds. In its place was a heart
full of shyness and joy. "No... I wasn't thinking about anything, I... I was pretending to be a silly goose."

"Oh. This silly goose is quite pretty, and doesn't look too silly."

Liu Xin's uncharacteristically subdued answer made Xiao Xue a little uncomfortable. She looked at him suspiciously and
laughed , "Silly senior brother, you can be this silly too. Hehe... 'Silly goose' is a general term, each goose is silly
to a different degree. I'm the smartest and prettiest one, a swan." "

So, junior sister is actually the princess of the Silly Goose Kingdom, my apologies."

"Are you mocking me again?"

"Not at all. I like such a beautiful swan, how could I dare to mock you?"

Liu Xin said, his gentle gaze piercing into Xiao Xue's heart.

Could this be the taste of mutual affection? Xiao Xue's heart suddenly pounded again, instantly overwhelming
her desire to confront Liu Xin. However, a strange suspicion came from another angle, continuing
to linger in her mind, preventing her from truly savoring this long-awaited happiness. If her senior really liked her, why did he only say such lukewarm, distant things

after knowing her feelings ? These words could certainly be said to a lover, but saying them to a junior sister didn't seem so wrong either. He had been silent for a long time just now; if she hadn't initiated the video call, he might have quietly left, leaving her alone in regret. Did he truly like her, or was he just trying to appease her by avoiding her studies? Xiao Xue felt increasingly uneasy, and Liu Xin's eyes were becoming increasingly blurry, as if they would soon fade from view, leaving only a stiff, unsmiling face. No, she had to get to the bottom of this. With that thought, Xiao Xue composed herself and softly called out, "Senior?" "What? Is something wrong?" Liu Xin's voice sounded somewhat strange. Xiao Xue pinched her thighs tightly with both hands, stammering, "You...I...do you really think I'm pretty ?" "Of course. You're a very beautiful swan princess." Liu Xin's eyes cleared and softened again. "Then...do you...like me?" "Yes, I always have." Are you pretending not to understand, or do you really not understand? Xiao Xue felt a vague resentment, but this baseless resentment couldn't withstand the overwhelming shyness. Even her fingertips, digging into her thighs, were gradually melting in the heat , losing much of their stimulating effect. She could only desperately use her last bit of strength to emphasize weakly, "It's not the kind of liking that's like siblings." This was the limit Xiao Xue could do. Even so, she began to worry that she might die at any moment . Regardless of whether Liu Xin's answer was yes or no. Fortunately, Liu Xin didn't answer the question immediately. But he didn't seem particularly happy either. He just looked at her, looked at her, his gentle gaze tinged with surprise, a hint of pity, and even a barely perceptible indifference, as if listening to Saint-Sa?ns' "The Swan" or reading Pavlova's "The Dying Swan." If it weren't for the lingering hope in her heart, Xiao Xue would have wanted to simply turn off the computer and lie on the bed and cry her heart out. Time drifted by in silence. Xiao Xue's vision began to blur inch by inch, as if she couldn't bear to see this world anymore. "Don't you have any homework to do today?" Liu Xin suddenly asked in a strange voice. Xiao Xue couldn't speak, nor did she want to nod or shake her head. She could only look at that face that she couldn't bring herself to hate, letting the indistinct voice echo in her ears again and again. Liu Xin, however, seemed completely oblivious to her feelings, continuing to press on regardless. "Has your academic performance ?" Xiao Xue finally found some anger. "Didn't my mom already tell you? Why are you asking so many questions ?" Before she could finish speaking, tears streamed down her cheeks, past her mouth, and onto her bare arms, her lips trembling. After a long pause, Liu Xin finally spoke gently, "You're taking the college entrance exam next year. No matter what happened, you should focus and do your best to get through this. Otherwise, you'll be the one who suffers in the future." These irrelevant words only fueled Xiao Xue's anger, and she couldn't help but sneer, glaring at Liu Xin. "Why are you pretending to be confused? It's all because of you!" "Me? What happened to me? I really had something to do yesterday. Are you still angry? I thought..."

Before Liu Xin could finish speaking, Xiao Xue angrily wiped away her tears and shouted, "Stop pretending!
I know everything my mom said to you yesterday. If you don't like me, just say so. But please don't
try to fob me off like this. I'm not that stupid."

"How could your mom..."

Liu Xin muttered, then stopped, staring at Xiao Xue for a moment with a helpless expression.
"Xiao Xue, let's not talk about this anymore, okay? You're taking the college entrance exam next year, and I don't want to affect your future."

Xiao Xue stubbornly retorted, "Not talking about it will affect my future even more."

Liu Xin shook his head, smiling bitterly, and remained silent for a long time.

No need to say anything, I already know the answer, Xiao Xue thought. A heavy sorrow, like a winter's cold wind, quickly
penetrated her entire body, churning within her, seemingly intending to freeze all her strength, courage
, feelings, and reason into fragments and blow them to the ends of the earth. "You don't like me, do you?"

Xiao Xue murmured, her tears already dried on her blank face, no longer flowing.

"No, Xiao Xue, don't be like this."

It seemed like a long time had passed, yet it also seemed like only a short moment, when Liu Xin's urgent voice came from afar,
pulling Xiao Xue back to reality. "You know, I've always treated you like a younger sister.
Suddenly switching roles will definitely take some time to adjust. Besides, your father has never liked me, and I don't want
this to ruin your family harmony, and I don't want to see you and your father become enemies."

The sudden blazing sun quickly turned the sorrow into an indistinguishable wisp of smoke. "Dad won't
interfere with us. Even if he does, it doesn't matter, because I've never liked him anyway. How long will it take you
to adjust?"

Liu Xin didn't answer her question. "No matter how much you don't like him, he's still your father.
The father who gave you life and raised you."

"I'll try my best to persuade him, don't worry."

"How do you persuade him? Is your father someone you can easily persuade?"

Xiao Xue knew Liu Xin was right. But what other choice did she have besides persuading her father?
"I'll always find a way. Just you wait. I'm willing to try anything to convince him."

Xiao Xue said, gradually gaining some confidence. And the hope beside that confidence was also
piling up little by little, soon forming two faint smiles on her face. "Why don't you answer my question?"

"What question?"

Liu Xin's puzzled expression was clearly feigning ignorance.

Xiao Xue glared at him resentfully. "You're pretending again! I just asked you how long it would take you to adapt? Why didn't you
answer?"

"How should I know? Maybe a month or two, maybe a year or two, maybe..."

Liu Xin gave her a meaningful look, "...a lifetime."

"Then you can adapt for a lifetime. Hehe..."

"You're such a child. Your tears still seem to be fresh."

Liu Xin leaned closer, pretending to examine her.

"Don't call me 'kid.' And don't call me 'little' anymore. Hmph!"

"Then can't I call you 'Little Xue' either? Should I call you 'Big Xue'? 'Old Xue'? Heh..."

Xiao Xue was speechless with anger, finally managing to find a retort. "Anyway, I'm not
a child. I'll be eighteen next year."

"Is eighteen a big age?"

Liu Xin's smile faded, and he said seriously, "No matter what, you're still young, and you have
a long road ahead. I don't want to tie you to my side too early; that wouldn't be fair to you. Besides, what if one day you get tired of
me? I can't bear that kind of blow."

Feeling the deep tenderness in Liu Xin's words, Xiao Xue paused, nodded, and said softly, "I won't
change my mind . I swear."

Liu Xin quickly stopped her, "Don't swear. The future is unpredictable."

Why are older guys so worried? Xiao Xue, her heart filled with sweet anticipation, said, "
What ? I'm not afraid at all."

"There are many, like whether your father will agree or not, or whether I can adapt."

Xiao Xue's heart sank, and she couldn't help but pout, "Then you shouldn't try to adapt. It's not as difficult as you make it sound."

"It's not that it's difficult, it's just that it takes effort. Hehe... convincing your father is the real challenge. I
can't help you, so you'll have to work hard."

"You don't need to worry about that. Nothing is difficult if you put your mind to it."

Xiao Xue smiled again.

Xiao Xue never expected that on Tuesday, her father, who had just returned from Beijing, would forcibly take away her phone,
cut off her broadband, and explicitly forbid her from contacting Liu Xin again.

"Dad, what right do you have to control me like this?"

After smashing things in her room for a while, Xiao Xue finally couldn't help but rush into the study across the hall and shout at
Xiao Sen.

Xiao Sen looked at her and coldly replied, "I am your father."

Xiao Sen's stern gaze intimidated her somewhat, but the thought of rarely seeing Liu Xin again, and even
having to sneak around to make a phone call to him, made Xiao Xue straighten her chest, barely managing to maintain her fading
gaze. "Didn't you always approve of me asking him for help with my studies?"

"It was your mother who approved; I just didn't object."

Xiao Sen suddenly became nonchalant, as if discussing something completely unrelated to him.

Xiao Xue paused, realizing her father preferred her to be a star rather than a scholar. Her already
weak composure immediately diminished; her voice lowered, and even her hard-won upright posture gradually slumped
. "I'm already so old, don't I even have the right to make friends?"

"You're only seventeen, not even an adult yet, what's so great about being seventeen?"

Xiao Sen's gaze, raised again like a boulder, rolled towards Xiao Xue with a faint rumbling echo,
as if he could knock her to the ground and crush her into a pulp in the blink of an eye. "Let me tell you the truth, your mother
told me everything that happened on Saturday. You two are no longer just simple friends. I won't allow you
to date at such a young age and ruin your bright future. Just give up on that idea."

Xiao Xue had no choice but to take two steps back and lean against the door frame.

She knew her mother would definitely tell her father, and she had even held out a lot of hope that her mother would persuade her father, but when
it turned out that her father hadn't been convinced by her mother, she couldn't help but resent her honest and weak mother.
Because of her mother's failure, she had also blocked every avenue she could take to persuade her father. Although she hadn't
come up with a reliable method, as long as her father was still unaware, she still had hope. She really should have discussed
it with her mother beforehand. How could she have been so busy being happy these past two days
that she forgot to plan such a crucial matter earlier?

Thinking of this, Xiao Xue could only desperately whisper, "You can't control me. You can't follow me
around all day ."

Xiao Sen sneered dismissively, "I've already spoken to your teacher. If all else fails,
we can ask the young master of the Xie family for help."

Xiao Xue was taken aback, "Xie Wenchao?"

"Yes! So you'd better not try anything clever. Heh... and don't force me to lock you up at home
."

Xie Wenchao dares to monitor me? I doubt he'd be that bold. Thinking this, although Xiao Xue still couldn't
feel , her mind gradually calmed down. She glanced at him for a moment, realizing that a forceful approach wouldn't work, so she softened her voice and pleaded,
"Dad—I promise I won't neglect either my studies or my relationship, and I'll
apply , just let me... let me seriously pursue my relationship with my senior, okay?"

Xiao Sen gave her a strange look and said impatiently, "What relationship? Liu Xin doesn't even care
about you. You're clearly just having a one-sided crush. Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough as a girl?"

Seeing her father's sharp words, Xiao Xue gave up on continuing to be coy and tried to straighten her back. "Your senior brother will fall in love with me
soon , just you wait and see."

Xiao Sen paused, then chuckled, "Easy for you to say. How do you prove it? Is he willing to do anything for you?"

Xiao Xue finally understood her father's seriousness. Barely suppressing her disgust, she asked, "
What do you expect him to do?"

Xiao Sen, seemingly realizing he'd inadvertently lost the upper hand, quickly became serious and said, "It's something he has to take the initiative for.
You absolutely cannot mention it to him, understand?"

Xiao Xue smiled inwardly, nodded, and, too lazy to say anything more, turned and went back to her room.

Her father's already frail image finally crumbled completely in Xiao Xue's mind. Yes, if he
was willing to agree to their relationship for a small benefit from her senior brother, he might very well destroy
it for an even greater benefit, even selling her to just anyone. In his eyes, she was nothing more than a
commodity. Although he had invested a lot of time, money, and energy, his ultimate goal was still to sell her for
a good price. While her senior brother was wealthy, he might not be able to offer the highest price. She didn't want her senior brother to
buy her like this. It wasn't love, it was a transaction.

Xiao Xue sat there blankly for a long time, gradually finding it hard to breathe from the polluted air seeping in from across the street.
Even the last vestiges of smugness she had gained were slowly fading into the cold fear. She had no choice but to stand up, turn off
the air conditioning, open the window, and take a few desperate breaths, only to feel the air become even more polluted and her breathing even more difficult. Her whole body continued to
grow colder, like a lifeless ghost in the still-warm wind and the still-blinding sunset,
a block of ancient, unmelting Arctic ice.

Xiao Xue had never longed for warmth as much as she did today. Not fire, not a blanket, but a warm embrace.
Only in someone's embrace could she possibly regain her life.

I have to go find him, and hopefully never have to come back. The thought, once it entered Xiao Xue's mind, grew
stronger and stronger, compelling her to tiptoe over, gently open the door, and see Xiao Sen with his back to the bookshelf. She then
quietly descended the stairs, quietly left the house, went downstairs to leave the hospital, and ran forward as fast as she could.

Only after getting into a taxi did Xiao Xue realize she hadn't brought her wallet. Fortunately, the driver was easygoing,
and fortunately, she found the company she had only visited once, and bumped into Liu Xin who was about to come out at the entrance.

"Senior Brother—"

Xiao Xue called softly, wanting to run over and hug him, but suddenly her legs went weak,
and she could only stand there, panting, looking at Liu Xin, her heart overflowing with mixed emotions, unable to utter a single word.

"Why are you here?"

Liu Xin asked in surprise.

Xiao Xue took a few breaths, about to briefly explain the situation, when she suddenly saw Zhen Yan following behind Liu Xin. Startled, she
quickly changed her tune, saying, "I came by taxi, and I haven't paid yet."

Turning to Zhen Yan, she smiled, "Hello, Senior Sister! What brings you here?"

"I have some things I need your help with, Senior,"

Zhen Yan replied with a smile, then stopped Liu Xin, "I'll pay, you two talk first."

With that, she led the driver towards the elevator.

Xiao Xue felt slightly relieved, but her eyes still held considerable suspicion as she looked at Liu Xin.

"Don't overthink it, we're just ordinary friends,"

Liu Xin said calmly. Before Xiao Xue could speak, he pressed, "What are you doing here? Is there something you need?
Or did you just want to come and see?"

Xiao Xue then composed herself and recounted her conversation with Xiao Sen and her own thoughts as completely as possible
.

Liu Xin pondered for a moment, then chuckled, "You're overthinking it. Professor Xiao may have been a bit harsh, but
he's doing it for your own good. He wouldn't sell you off to someone else. Not only would your mother object, but I wouldn't either.
Hehe… Besides, you'll be an adult soon. Even if he wanted to sell you, you'd have to be willing, right? This isn't
a slave society …"

Xiao Xue looked at Liu Xin and could only nod.

"I'll call him in a couple of days to talk to him. Don't worry unnecessarily, okay, little junior sister?"

How could she get him to hug her? Thinking of this, Xiao Xue, who had overcome her fear,
immediately

felt her face flush and her heart race again. "Look at you, such a small thing, and you're already all flustered."
