444 Ning Yu Is Back

Zhu Lin: “It’s nothing. I’m just asking.”

Shi Xi looked at her phone screen. “The results haven’t been released yet. Didn’t you refresh my school’s webpage every day?”

Zhu Lin: “…”

When did she have time to refresh it every day?

!!

With this thought in mind, Zhu Lin logged back in to take a look at the results webpage.

It hadn’t been released yet.

She was anxious.

Shi Xi returned to Feng City and prepared to rest for a few days.

However, as soon as she entered the main door, she noticed that the atmosphere wasn’t quite right.

Entering the living room, Shi Xi saw a cold and aloof young girl sitting on the sofa.

Her long black hair was scattered, her eyes were cold, and there seemed to be an ice fog in her eyes that couldn’t be dispelled.

Ning Yu was back!

“He… Hello, Sister.” Shi Xi came back to her senses and greeted her with an embarrassed smile. “Long time no see?”

“Yeah.” Ning Yu raised her eyes and greeted her.

Shi Xi didn’t expect Ning Yu to come back so suddenly. When she sat down, she was thinking that she hadn’t done anything wrong recently, right?

She was a lowly supporting actress who had low self-esteem online.

After a few seconds, Mother Shi brought the fruit plate over. When she saw Shi Xi, she smiled and said, “Xi Xi is back too.”

“Yeah, after the party ended, I came back since there was nothing going on there.”

Sometimes, with her mother around, Shi Xi felt a lot more relaxed.

“Are there any other jobs coming up?” Mother Shi asked again.

“Not this week. Brother Han is still making arrangements for next week’s schedule,” Shi Xi replied obediently and looked at Ning Yu. “Sister, how long will you be on vacation this time?”

Ning Yu looked up. “School will start after the Lantern Festival.”

Mother Shi said, “When that time comes, we’ll spend the Lantern Festival together. What kind of filling do you like to eat?”

“I’ll go back to Long Quan Village for the Lantern Festival,” Ning Yu said calmly.

The moment she said that, she quieted down.

Ning Yu added, “I’ll also go back to Long Quan Village for the New Year.”

Mother Shi frowned. “Ning Yu, we haven’t celebrated the New Year together yet.”

Afraid that the two of them would quarrel, Shi Xi hurriedly said, “How about this? Bring Father Ning and Mother Ning over and we’ll celebrate the New Year together?”

Remembering that Shi Xi was the child of that couple from the Ning family, Mother Shi came back to her senses and said, “No, we’re going back to the old residence for the New Year. Have you forgotten?”

Shi Xi: “…”

Then she had no other choice.

Ning Yu said indifferently, “There’s no need to go through so much trouble. How did we celebrate the New Year in the past? It’ll be the same this year.”

As she said that, Ning Yu paused again and said, “I can come back on the first day of the New Year.”

“Is that still New Year?” Mother Shi was displeased.

“Mom, Sister has been spending New Year’s at Long Quan Village. She’s already used to it,” Shi Xi interrupted. “Anyway, it’s not New Year’s yet. We’ll talk about it when we get there.”

If they were to see the King of H*ll before the New Year, they wouldn’t have to care about such things.

Mother Shi insisted, “Anyway, our family will be reunited!”

Ning Yu looked at Shi Xi and retracted her gaze.

Shi Xi thought to herself, ‘Just say what you want to say!’

‘With that gaze, I can’t understand what you’re trying to convey!’

Fortunately, the atmosphere did not turn stiff for long before Father Shi and Shi Xu returned.

“Xi Xi is back. Eh, Ning Yu is back too.” Father Shi said happily, “Aiya, my precious daughters, do you miss your father?”

Shi Xi smiled obediently and said, “Yes.”

Ning Yu had a look of disdain on her face.

Father Shi rubbed Shi Xi’s head, then looked at Ning Yu and asked, “How was school?”

Ning Yu said, “It was alright.”

Father Shi said a few more words of concern, then said to Ning Yu, “Your grandfather said that he wanted to see you. Now that you’re back, go to the old residence to see him.”

Ning Yu had a look of resistance.

She did not want to move.

Father Shi looked at the other two children and said, “Shi Xu, Xi Xi, you two accompany Ning Yu to see Grandfather.”
