Chapter 113: Telepathy

Xia Yu looked at Yan Wei, who had come in front of him, with confusion.

“Lili and I are planning to travel during the winter vacation, but we haven’t decided on the destination yet. Are you and Youxue free?” Yan Wei asked nervously.

“Really?” Yan Li, who was playing a game, threw the controller aside and hugged her sister.

Yan Wei stretched out her hand to push her sister aside and nervously looked at Xia Yu.

Originally, according to her personality, she would first win over Youxue and then go with Youxue to tempt Xia Yu, but Guizi Xiao told her not to always think of taking an indirect approach, as it would annoy Xia Yu.

Xia Yu shook his head. “Youxue and I are going to the countryside to visit my hometown.”

“Oh, is that so?” Yan Wei was very disappointed.

In reality, even if there hadn’t been a prior arrangement with Kong Hanyue to visit the countryside, Xia Yu would have found another excuse to refuse.

What might happen if a boy and a girl went traveling alone was obvious.

“I can invite other classmates!” Yan Li was still excited, but Yan Wei didn’t pay attention to her.

Taking out her phone, Yan Wei answered a call from her parents asking her to come back and help.

Yan Wei then left Xia Yu’s house with Yan Li. On the way, Yan Li kept chattering about where they were going to travel.

“I want to go to Yaoguang. There’s a big amusement park there,” Yan Li said excitedly, waving her hands.

“We’re not going anymore,” Yan Wei said.

“Eh?” Yan Li looked stunned. “Didn’t you just say we were planning to go?”

“I was kidding,” Yan Wei couldn’t be bothered to make an excuse.

Tears immediately welled up in Yan Li’s eyes.

On the balcony, Xia Yu, watching Yan Li suddenly burst into tears below, felt somewhat at a loss.

She was already a seventh grader. Was she still crying because she was called back from a friend’s house?

He continued observing, and Yan Li merely wiped her eyes, then continued walking away after being comforted by Yan Wei for a moment, disappearing from Xia Yu’s view.

Turning around, Xia Yu looked at Youxue, who had also paused her game. She looked a bit anxious.

Because she was going back to the countryside with Kong Hanyue the day after tomorrow.

Deep down, she still wanted to get along well with her parents. Previously, she would feel sad when she saw Xia Dongyang, because Xia Dongyang brought his little daughter along but not her. Let alone the fact that Kong Hanyue was, at least to some extent, a mother figure.

Otherwise, Xia Yu wouldn’t have wanted to bring the two of them closer.

After hesitating for a while in place, Youxue came to Xia Yu’s side.

Lying on the sofa with his head near the girl, Xia Yu replied, “Don’t worry about anything. As long as you don’t cause her any trouble and let her confirm that you won’t threaten her life, she will treat you normally. And if you can help her with something, she will like you.”

“Is that all?” Youxue was still somewhat uneasy.

Reaching out to pinch the girl’s cheek, Xia Yu said, “When have I ever lied to you?”

“Okay,” Youxue became cheerful again. She stood up and prepared to go back to her bedroom, but Xia Yu grabbed her hand.

“Huh?” The girl looked at Xia Yu in confusion.

“What are you going back to your bedroom for?” Xia Yu asked.

“To watch TV dramas or cartoons,” Youxue replied.

The reason the girl mentioned watching in her room was because Xia Yu had given her a laptop, so she no longer needed to watch TV series on the television.

“Bring the laptop over,” Xia Yu said.

“Okay.” Youxue went to her room to get the laptop, feeling a bit puzzled.

Her brother’s intentions were very clear: he wanted her not to leave and to sit beside him.

This wasn’t the first time. Lately, her brother seemed a bit clingy.

What a shame. As a good sister, she could only take care of him.

Feeling delighted, Youxue sat beside Xia Yu with her laptop, her heart full of sweetness.

Now that she could play games and watch videos at home after school, it was all thanks to Xia Yu. Before Xia Dongyang left, she had always lived in fear.

As long as she stayed with her brother, everything would get better.

Looking down at Xia Yu lying beside her, Youxue reached out and held his hand.

It was okay to be a bit more affectionate. What an unforthcoming brother he was.

As she was thinking whether she should imitate what she saw in cartoons and offer Xia Yu a lap pillow, her hand was thrown back.

“???”

Blinking her eyes, Youxue reached out again to hold Xia Yu’s hand. She thought:

Compared to sitting beside him, holding hands was naturally more intimate. Her brother was definitely just being shy.

However, her hand was thrown away again.

At the same time, Xia Yu looked at her with a puzzled expression: “Why are you holding hands? Isn’t it cold to leave your hand outside?”

Youxue felt that there might be a misunderstanding in her perception.

Xia Yu was indeed not like what Youxue thought. He was merely enjoying the comfort that Youxue’s presence brought him.

He had acquired the telepathy from the white cat. The feeling he got from Youxue was as comfortable as Tina’s. He just wanted to enjoy this feeling.

The feeling wouldn’t become stronger because of physical contact.

“What’s wrong? Still thinking about the day after tomorrow?” Xia Yu thought Youxue was still feeling uneasy.

He reached out to pinch Youxue’s face, but she dodged.

Realizing that she had misunderstood, Youxue felt a bit humiliated in her pure heart. She was somewhat embarrassed and angry.

If it was when Xia Dongyang was still around, she would have suppressed the embarrassment that arose from her pride before it could develop into anger.

But now, with the improvement of her life and Xia Yu’s care, Youxue dared to have some of her small emotions.

These small emotions, in fact, were signs of affection.

“Hmph!” Ignoring Xia Yu, Youxue stood up and returned to her bedroom.

Looking at her back, Xia Yu chuckled.

It was normal for little girls to have some incomprehensible little emotions. The previously always obedient and well-behaved Youxue was the abnormal one.

It was just a pity that he had lost his source of comfort.

Yan Wei also had a certain degree of comfort, although not as effective as Youxue’s, but still significant. Unfortunately, he couldn’t use it.

Getting up from the sofa, Xia Yu found the black cat on the balcony.

This time, the black cat would also go with him to the countryside, otherwise no one would take care of it.

However, the hamster and goldfish kept by the black cat were somewhat problematic.

The goldfish that Youxue had bought for the black cat had already been buried in the flowerbed downstairs. The two small goldfish in the tank on the balcony now were new ones.

Hmm? Where were the goldfish?

Looking at the empty little tank, Xia Yu was puzzled.

He looked at the black cat in his hand and noticed two half tails under the cat’s paws.

The black cat moved its foot and kicked the tails under the cabinet.

No wonder the affection level had risen to lv2 after raising two goldfish. It had been thinking about eating them!

The previous goldfish had been kept in a small plastic box with a lid, so the black cat couldn’t eat them. But the glass tank that Youxue had bought two days ago made it convenient.

Rubbing the black cat, Xia Yu cleaned up the goldfish remains so that Youxue wouldn’t find out.

Then, he carried the black cat and went to his bedroom.

The black cat also gave a feeling of comfort, making it a great alternative.

In the evening, Xia Yu enjoyed a comfortable sleep with the help of the black cat.

In the morning when he woke up, he clicked on An Siyao’s icon and went to An Siyao.

Dongzhi Academy didn’t have the afternoon off until today, so An Siyao still had a day of school to attend.

It was precisely for this reason that Kong Hanyue had to wait until tomorrow, when Zhong Yunxin returned, before she could go back to her hometown.

After entering the academy, Xia Yu went to the student council and ordered his subordinates to call Zhong Yunxin.

Kong Hanyue wanted him to watch over Zhong Yunxin and prevent the girl from causing trouble, so Xia Yu naturally needed to make some preparations in advance.

He would first use An Siyao’s body to warn Zhong Yunxin.

Before Zhong Yunxin arrived, members of the disciplinary committee brought in three girls.

They were students who had been caught violating the school rules.
