Xia Keke was slightly shocked when she heard Xu Jianyi's words. "Auntie, you're still up so late?"
Xu Jianyi shot her a glance before replying in an indifferent tone, "It's all because I'm worried about you."
This time, Xia Cola was speechless. Ever since his parents had left her and his younger brother at the Xu Family, they had indeed given the Xu Family a lot of trouble.
Xu Jiayi got off the car and headed straight for the house. Xia Keke followed behind him with an innocent expression as she secretly curled her lips. Didn't she just come back a little too late? Why was he so angry?
"Oh, Cola, you're finally back!" Hearing the sound of footsteps, Mrs Xu immediately stood up to welcome him, pulling on Xia Cola's hand as she sat down on the sofa, saying rather nervously, "I thought something happened to you even though you didn't come back so late at night!"
"Auntie, don't worry. I'm such a big person, nothing will happen to me!" Xia Keke smiled at her mother, pursing her lips as she spoke.
Mrs Xu did not say anything, merely nodding.
"Sis!" Shen Yi Xuan came down from the stairs and saw Xia Keke standing in the living room. He walked in front of her and handed the phone in his hand to her, "Mom's phone."
When Xia Keke heard this, she glanced at him before taking the phone and walking to the side to answer the call.
"Mom, when are you coming back?"
Although Aunt Xu treated her very well, this Xu Jiayi looked at her as if she were a criminal every day. This made her feel extremely displeased.
"What, you miss us?" "We'll be going back very soon. You and Yixuan are at Jia Yi's house. You have to listen to them, okay?"
"Got it!" Every time he called, he would spend the next two days on the phone, unable to say a word.
Shen Canghang, who was currently reviewing the documents, looked up at Xia Yi. Then, he walked to her side, took his phone, and said to Xia Keke on the other end of the phone, "Oh, Cola, do you have anything you want? My parents will buy it for you when we get back!"
Xia Keke shook her head and replied without much interest, "I don't want anything as long as you and mom come back early!"
Hearing Xia Keke's words, Shen Cheng Hang couldn't help chuckling. "Okay, dad and mom will be back after dealing with the things here."
The two of them chatted about their studies before hanging up.
Shen Yi Xuan took back his phone and went upstairs. He was now in his third year of high school, so he didn't want to waste even a second of his time.
"Cola, what did Xia Yi say?" Auntie Xu glanced at Xu Jianyi, then pulled on Cola's hand as she asked in curiosity.
"My parents said they'll be back soon!" Xia Cola was in a joyful mood as he smiled merrily at his mother.
"Is that so?" Seeing that Xia Cola was laughing so happily, his mother couldn't help but chuckle along with her, "Isn't this little girl very happy?"
Xia Keke vigorously nodded her head. Seeing that it was getting late, she casually greeted the two of them before returning to her room to sleep.
As the two of them watched as Cola's figure disappeared around the corner of the stairs, their mother let out a long sigh. Looking at Xu Jiayi, she said, "Jia Yi, your mother knows what you're thinking. Cola is currently living in our house and this is a great opportunity. If you miss it like this, it'll be too late next time you want to do something!"
Hearing his mother's words, Xu Jiayi frowned slightly but did not say anything.
Xia Keke's academic performance had been pretty good ever since she was young. As she neared the exam, she carried a few nights of Buddhism, but none of them failed.
In the blink of an eye, the summer vacation was over. Summer Cola was bored at home, so he went out with some friends every day to have fun.
Early that morning, before Xia Cola had even woken up, he received a call from his good friend Chen Xing.
"Gorilla!" What are you calling me so early for? " Xia Keke lay on the bed, wishing that she could just slap him to death with her shoes.
It was too much to call so early in the morning to disturb her.
"Cola, are you still sleeping? Didn't you promise to accompany me to the interview last night? " Chen Xing noticed that Xia Cola's voice was very lazy and knew that she hadn't woken up yet. He frowned as he spoke in a displeased manner.
Xia Keke was slightly startled. Only after a long while did she open her eyes. Only then did she recall that she did indeed agree to accompany Xinghe for the interview last night.
"Oh, I forgot!" Xia Keke quickly sat up and said apologetically, "What time is your interview?"
"It's ten o'clock. It's already half past midnight. Hurry up and get up!" I'll go downstairs and wait for you! "
Chen Xing hurriedly finished his sentence and hung up the phone.
Xia Keke listened to the busy tone of the receiver, but didn't have time to think about it. After washing up, she changed her clothes and went downstairs.
Xu Jiayi was chatting with Zhang Zhizhi on the sofa. Hearing the sound of hurrying footsteps, both of them raised their heads. When they saw Xia Cola's flustered appearance, they subconsciously furrowed their brows and asked, "What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"
It was rare for her to wake up so early. If it was a normal day, she wouldn't be up until noon.
Xia Keke glanced at the two of them as if she didn't hear them, then she ran into the kitchen to get two pieces of bread and ran out.
Upon seeing this, Xu Jiayi couldn't help but furrow his brows. "I'm asking you a question, can't you hear me?"
Xia Cola's footsteps halted, and he turned around to look at him with an impatient expression. "What now?"
Xu Jianyi stood up and walked over to her at a moderate pace. He asked, "Why do you go out every day? Can't you just stay at home?"
When Xia Keke heard his words, she impatiently rolled her eyes and unhappily said, "I really have something urgent today. I don't have time to explain it to you right now. Wait for me to come back!"
After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Xu Jiayi's response as he turned and ran off!
Xu Jianyi, "…"
"Do you feel that Xia Cola has been acting weird recently?" Zhang Zhizhi walked up behind Xu Jiayi and said with a gossipy expression, "Although he used to like to play, she never went out every day like this."
Hearing Zhang Jiayi's words, Xu Jianyi looked at him coldly. "Just mind your own business."
Zhang Zhizhi, "..."
Why did it seem to him that Xu Jiayi was not the least bit worried about Xia Cola?
"Eh, let's consider it as me overthinking it!" Zhang Zhizhi put away the book on the tea table and walked outside, saying, "I have to go back too, Tian Ji is at home these days, if I continue like this I'll get rusty!"
Xu Jiayi watched him leave before pursing his lips without saying a word.
Chen Xing waited outside for a while before seeing Xia Keke come down. Without saying anything further, he pulled her hand and left, "I already told you that it's too late, yet you're still dawdling!?" Let's go! "
