"I wanted to check the time, so I was going to check your phone."

It was very simple. The girl believed it and picked up her phone to check.

"It's only around 3:20. It's still early."

The girl swung her legs happily when she realized that she still had plenty of time.

"How about Xia Xiu, let's watch a horror movie? I usually don't dare to watch one when I'm alone at home, but today it just so happens that I can watch it with you."

She pulled Xia Xiu's shoulders, and the latter reluctantly agreed. Xia Xiu's family had a player that could play discs and some old discs, all of which were the inheritance left to him by his parents.

The girl ran excitedly to the cabinet to choose a disc. Xia Xiu glanced at the sofa. The girl was carrying her cell phone with her.

The girl casually played a movie about an old corpse in a mountain village that she vaguely remembered, then jumped onto the sofa nervously, took off her shoes, and put her feet on the sofa. Listening to the terrifying music, the girl wished she could shrink her entire body into Xia Xiu's.

"If you're so scared, don't look at it."

Xia Xiu said with a smile, and the latter stuck out his tongue mischievously.

The two of them continued watching the movie, and no one knew where Silly Girl had put her phone.

Xia Xiu sighed slightly. He knew that silly girl was not stupid, but was much smarter than Xiaoyu.

It seems that we can’t figure out the reason why this silly girl has been acting abnormally these days.

He seemed to have said that solving the problem should start from the source.

Chapter 236 Friend Request

He watched a horror movie without any major incident. In the movie, the silly girl who was both naive and playful always liked to get on top of him, which made Xia Xiu speechless.

He is really good and fun-loving.

She glanced at the pendant on her body with disdain. During this time, Jiang Chuchu came over from the room without knowing when. She stood behind the sofa and watched the horror scenes in the TV series with relish. She was much braver than the silly girl Fan Yanke.

The three of them watched the movie on the screen quietly. Xia Xiu turned his head and found Xiaoyu sitting on the bed in the room, looking in his direction with a confused look on her face.

The atmosphere in the living room was full of joy, just like a family scene. The girl in the room was lying lonely on the bed, covering her head with a quilt.

Xia Xiu noticed this and sneaked out while the two were not paying attention, walked into Xiaoyu's room, and held the girl's somewhat cold little hand.

"What's wrong? Are you a little bored?"

Xiaoyu's hands were icy cold, as if she had caught a cold from staying outside the quilt for too long. Xia Xiu held the girl's small hands in his and breathed slowly.

Xiaoyu shook her head.

"I'm not bored, I just...I just can't sleep."

Xia Xiu smiled, it was just boredom. But it was true, Xiaoyu had slept for a long time, so it was not suitable for her to continue sleeping, but she could not have any effective entertainment activities without seeing the eyes.

"How about I tell you a story?"

He didn't have any good suggestions. This was the first time he had started taking care of the blind, so naturally there were many things he didn't understand.

Xia Xiu pulled out a storybook with a yellowed cover from the bookshelf. It was a small book with many short stories in it, some interesting, some boring, some reasonable, and some nonsensical. These were some of his few childhood memories.

Perhaps these books are more touching than his age.

The girl nodded her head huddled in the quilt, not rejecting Xia Xiu's action. Her boring life had some color again.

Xia Xiu's slightly magnetic voice rang out in the room. It sounded very nice. Maybe he had unexpected talent and could become a broadcaster and host in the future.

The girl was immersed in his voice, but her thoughts were gradually becoming dazed. Perhaps what she wanted to hear was not those simple and vulgar stories, but perhaps just the simple sound of his voice, which was the thing she longed for most in her blind life.

She knew that the thieving cat had not left and was still arrogant in her home. She also knew that there was another person at the dinner table today. She didn't know the name, nor could she tell which girl it was, but it was probably one of the girls who had been to this house. He didn't introduce himself to her, probably because he believed that less trouble is worse than more trouble, so she was sensible and didn't take the initiative to ask.

According to her previous beliefs, she would not be so calm and peaceful, because if this kind of thing happened a few months ago, she would have put down the bowl with a cold face, slammed the door and walked into the room, wanting to show her dissatisfaction in front of him.

But that doesn't help, does it?

She opened her arms and mumbled that she wanted to eat an orange. As expected, he peeled an orange lovingly, fed her a slice, and put the rest in her hands.

The pleasant and magnetic voice continued to sound in the room.

She seemed to have understood the trick of how to get along with him. He always had a soft heart, and she should have discovered it long ago.

In the past, in the distant past, the space between them was like a barrier of heaven and earth, and he occasionally, accidentally, showed his soft and gentle side to her when she was sick.

He has always been a person who likes to take care of others. As long as you show a little bit of weakness and timidity in front of him, he will basically meet your requests.

The girl raised a silly smile at the corner of her mouth. As she listened to his story, her head gradually became fuzzy and her consciousness flickered, but she felt very comfortable and warm. This should be the hypnosis mentioned in novels, movies and TV shows, right?

Xia Xiu smiled bitterly. Didn’t he just say he couldn’t sleep? But he fell asleep while talking. What was going on?

Well, my mouth was a little numb from Xia Xiu's stories anyway, so I went to the refrigerator and casually took out a few bottles of milk, threw them to the silly girl and the silly child, and then I started drinking tons of them. I probably wouldn't have to worry about whether there would be problems with the drinks in the future.

Xia Xiu can drink to his heart's content.

While Xia Xiu was being affectionate with Xiaoyu in the room, Fan Yanke would glance into the room from time to time. She had lost most of her interest in the horror movie in front of her and couldn't wait to run to the door to peek.

Worried that Xia Xiu and his so-called sister might kill someone in there, the girl lowered her head, took out her cell phone and pretended to play with it. She carefully looked back and found that the child was watching the movie with an innocent look on his face, with no interest in her at all.

Yes, he is still a child after all.

She skillfully opened her phone and clicked on the app. Soon, a picture started playing on the phone, which was a scene of Xia Xiu telling Xiaoyu a story.

The longer Xia Xiu told Xiaoyu the story, the longer she watched outside with her head down.

Jiang Chuchu lowered her head and glanced at the girl who was not far away and had been looking down at her phone. The girl's expression showed no sadness or joy, which was in stark contrast to her smiling face when she first came in.

She turned back and continued watching the movie.

Chuchu knows nothing, she is just a simple and cute pendant≥﹏≤

"What's wrong? Was the movie not good?"

Xia Xiu felt refreshed after drinking the milk, but the silly girl Fan Yanke still held the milk and didn't drink it. Could it be that she was afraid that he would drug her? Is he that kind of person?

"No... I was a little scared when you weren't here just now... I don't dare to continue watching ("?ω?)"

The girl cutely covered her eyes with her hands. The movie had not yet finished playing, and the horror clips kept playing one after another. She spread her fingers, looking like she wanted to watch but didn't dare to, which made Xia Xiu find it a little funny.

Xia Xiu sat back on the sofa. The girl came up to him fearfully and held his hand. Xia Xiu had no choice but to follow her.

Jiang Chuchu, who had been standing, felt a little jealous, so she moved a small stool over, placed it under the sofa, and then stood on it with her small body. She put her arms around Xia Xiu's neck, and rested her cute little face on Xia Xiu's neck. From time to time, her restless little hands would pull his ears, and her mouth would blow air into his ear holes, making him feel a little itchy.

Just when he was about to turn around to teach this ignorant Jiang Chuchu a lesson, his lips brushed against the child's rosy cheek.

Xia Xiu smiled bitterly and turned his head to glance at Fan Yanke, hoping that she didn't see it.

The lovely Jiang Chuchu continued her little pranks.

Xia Xiu lowered his head and played with his phone, because not long ago he received a new friend verification message on his phone.

Jiang Yuyan sent you a friend request.

Chapter 237: Cold Wind Rises

For some reason, Xia Xiu deleted almost all the contact information of everyone in his phone some time ago, although people who had contact with Xia Xiu added their contact information back one after another later.

All of Su Yuhan’s friends were added back, but Jiang Yuyan was not among them.

Xia Xiu naively thought that the other party had lost interest in him, because the other party's figure had not appeared in his sight for a long time, and she had not taken the initiative to look for him at school.

Occasionally, Xia Xiu would always make a joke and laugh at himself: See, it turns out that women are all pigs and cannot be trusted. That is an example.

In the past, when they were in school, Jiang Yuyan always liked to hang out with him after class, but she has indeed disappeared in recent times.

Xia Xiu wasn't the type to proactively provoke other people.

He clicked "Agree" on his phone. Xia Xiu had a good temper and he would usually agree to such things. It would just be left in the chat list to collect dust. It didn't make any difference whether he deleted it or not.

After adding each other, he put down his phone, did not take the initiative to say hello, and the other party did not send any messages, so the friendship between the two people withered.

Xia Xiu didn't care and continued to watch the movie with the others. It was just that he had watched this disc many times in his childhood and he could almost perform the famous scenes in it by himself.

I checked the calendar on my phone and saw that the National Day holiday would be here in a few days.

Holidays are always the happiest thing for students, especially for high school students who are trapped in a cage. Fortunately, they have a complete seven-day holiday in the first year of high school, unlike the suffering senior high school students, for whom having three days is a luxury.

Xia Xiu shrugged. Well, in his current state, what difference would it make whether he was on vacation or not?

However, the arrival of the holiday always makes people happy, the mood will be high, and the whole person will be in a strange state of excitement, which is much more enjoyable than the ordinary weekend holiday.

But even if we have a holiday, we will probably just stay at home and act like a wretch, right?

Xia Xiu didn't really want to go out and play, after all, he had a patient to take care of at home.

"Remember to study after reading this?"

He pulled out a few books from somewhere like magic and placed them in front of the girl. When Fan Yanke saw the books, she stayed away from Xia Xiu as if she had seen the plague.

She prayed pitifully again.

"It's so late now, it's too late to study, why not just have fun and have fun while you can."

The girl blinked her big eyes, with tears faintly visible in the corners of her eyes.

It seems that after not seeing her for a while, Silly Girl's acting skills have improved to a new level, or maybe girls are born to be actors.

"No, if you don't study, just drag you out and don't let you come in again."

Xia Xiu put his hands on his waist and gave the final instructions. The movie happened to come to an end at this time. Fan Yanke had no choice but to take over the books dejectedly and read them page by page with a bitter face.

It's just that the speed of turning the pages is a bit fast. Xia Xiu can't read novels that fast on his mobile phone. He can't help but cover his head and feel a headache.

"That shouldn't be the case. Why are you so resistant to studying? Logically speaking, shouldn't studying be universally good for girls?"

The girl stopped reading the book in her hand. She was naturally happy to have something to chat about.

"You are prejudiced, a remnant of the feudal era. Nowadays, we emphasize gender equality. Who says that girls must be good at studying? If there are no poor students like me to set off, why would they be so proud and complacent! ('ω')?"

The girl puffed out her rather large chest, and, in keeping with her duty, prepared to hold on to Xia Xiu for a while longer.

"Go study, and do this test later. You are not allowed to eat until you finish it."

Xia Xiu casually threw his homework to the girl. When he finishes his homework and goes back, he shouldn't be scolded by the teacher, right?

Fan Yanke: ≥﹏≤

He thought so and then went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

There was nothing much to say about dinner, it was just the leftovers from lunch. In the evening, Xia Xiu prepared to cook some delicious millet porridge for Xiaoyu to nourish her body. After all, her body was naturally weak after experiencing many ups and downs.

He turned his head to look at the girl who was frowning and crying on the sofa. When he was not supervising her, she actually followed his teachings well.

Maybe she wasn't unwilling to study, but was held back by something else. Xia Xiu raised his head and thought for a while, then gave up. It shouldn't be a big problem. If there really was a problem, this silly girl would tell him, right?

After so many things happened, Xia Xiu judged that she must trust him very much.

After heating up the meal prepared during the day, the aroma of the food immediately aroused the little glutton in the sofa. He sneaked to the kitchen again and prepared to steal some food with bare hands.

Xia Xiu patted her dog's paws.

"Wash your hands."

Jiang Chuchu washed her hands obediently, then stretched out her evil claws again, picked up a fatter pig's trotter and squatted aside to eat it. The crunching sound she made reminded people of a real-life squirrel.

Xia Xiu smiled, but modern people seem to have a taste for food that is not good for fat. Xiaoyu and Fan Yan are like this. They should represent the attitude of most people. Jiang Chuchu and Xia Xiu himself should be exceptions. After all, after experiencing such inhumane hunger, they understand the value of food and their tastes are different from those of ordinary people.

When he returned to the sofa, he found that Fan Yanke had already finished the entire test paper and was looking at Xia Xiu with a smile, as if waiting for his praise.

Xia Xiu took a quick look at it and originally thought it was done randomly, but at a glance it seemed like the accuracy was... not bad?

"Hmph (?°з°), how is it, is it awesome?!"

"That's pretty impressive, but I don't know why the scores in the exams are so low."

Xia Xiu smiled and touched her head. There was some skill, but not much.

Anyway, no one is as good as Xia Xiu. With the vague memory in Xia Xiu's head, he dare not think about getting into the top 50, but it should be no problem to get into the top 100.

The girl swore, and recalled her previous situation. Of course she couldn't get such a high score to attract attention. Besides, she could skip classes if she got a lower score, so that the teacher wouldn't bother her too much.

Xia Xiu put his homework into his schoolbag, then walked into the kitchen to prepare dishes for everyone later, but out of the corner of his eye he noticed Fan Yanke also walked in.

"what happened?"

"I'm here to help."
