"Mother"

As soon as Li Xilian came in from the door, she saw the woman surrounded by Yu Shuangxue and Li Jinxue. She was stunned for a moment.

Yu Shuangxue heard the voice and turned around to greet her, "Lianlian is back, come quickly, look, this is your sister Ruoyao."

The woman also turned around to see a pure and elegant, extremely gentle face completely revealed. "Lianlian, long time no see."

"Sister Ruoyao...long time no see." Li Xilian was even more bewildered. She felt something was amiss. A hazy mist seemed to appear and disappear, like chains, sealing Li Xilian's memory.

Yu Shuangxue observed Li Xilian's reaction. Was he stunned? One look and he fell in love? "This kid...why is he so stupid?"

Seeing that she hadn't moved for a long time, Yu Shuangxue pushed her shoulder to bring her back to her senses. Li Xilian hadn't realized that her previous behavior had caused her mother to misunderstand her. She pinched her thumb out of awkward habit, feeling annoyed at her own impoliteness.

"Sorry, I got distracted."

"It's okay, Lianlian, aren't you tired? It's getting late, go get some rest," Li Ruoyao said with concern. Unconsciously, she stepped forward and took her hand. The affection in her eyes was completely exposed to Li Xilian, who was startled and at a loss. She wanted to break free, but then... what if it was all just her imagination? A misunderstanding? After all, the biggest delusion is that someone likes you. She had never been so narcissistic, especially since she had only just seen Li Ruoyao.

She doesn't want to speculate about others.

She could only look to her mother Yu Shuangxue for help, hoping that she would come to help her. She really didn't know what to do when others got close to her.

Yu Shuangxue turned her head away, pretending not to notice, choosing to ignore her daughter's plea for help. After all, when it came to interacting with others, Lianlian had to rely on herself. She knew her daughter's problem was that she was too dull. "Well... okay, Sister Ruoyao, I'll go up first..." Li Xilian withdrew her fingers one by one, intermittently taking her hand back.

She turned around and missed the disappointment in Li Ruoyao's eyes.

She forgot... Li Ruoyao tightened her grip in disappointment, as if the warmth of Li Xilian's palm still lingered on it, so warm...

But just when she wanted to go upstairs quickly, her mother gave her a critical hit, "Yaoyao, it's so late, just stay here. It's getting late now, and you should take a rest. You've been on the plane for such a long time overnight, and you're here without any rest." After hearing the latter part, Li Xilian turned around in surprise. This person actually rushed here overnight just to come here?

It seemed that there was indeed a dark tint under Li Ruoyao's eyes, with a hint of imperceptible fatigue, and he suddenly felt inexplicably distressed.

"Sister Ruoyao, come up and rest. There are guest rooms."

I was about to refuse Lianlian because she felt uncomfortable, but when I heard Lianlian's concern, she suddenly didn't want to leave anymore.

Li Ruoyao smiled and said, "Won't it bother you?"

"No, no, Lianlian, quickly take your sister Ruoyao over."

Li Xilian didn't refuse and nodded in agreement. "Sister Ruoyao," she said, her expression softening as she extended her hand. Her gaze and gestures were humble and polite, her eyes soft and expressionless.

Li Ruoyao felt so soft in her heart. This scene was so similar to the little man who helped her escape from the clutches of the devil when she was a child.

The delicate little girl who looked like a porcelain doll extended a helping hand to her with a cold face, but her eyes were full of concern. "Don't be afraid, Sister Ruoyao. I will take you out."

Those sweet words in a childish voice have always been unforgettable to Li Ruoyao.

Li Ruoyao couldn't help but have tears in her eyes. She reached out her hand and held her tightly again like that day.

Li Xilian really didn't expect Li Ruoyao to cry. What had she done? She was at a loss for words, wanting to say something comforting, but she was too tongue-tied to think of anything nice, so she could only pat her shoulder gently to show her comfort.

Li Ruoyao, comforted, lay on top of her and sobbed softly, soaking a small part of Li Xilian's clothes. Li Xilian was considerate enough not to ask any more questions. For some reason, she felt it was better for her not to say anything.

After Li Ruoyao calmed down, Li Xilian handed her his handkerchief and asked her to wipe it.

"Thank you, Lianlian..." Li Ruoyao took it with a soft moan, "I got the handkerchief dirty, I'll take it back to wash it."

"It's okay, I can..." Before Li Xilian could finish his words, he saw Li Ruoyao had quickly folded the handkerchief and put it away.

Uh… “Thank you for your hard work, Sister Ruoyao…”

Seeing this, Li Xilian could only withdraw his hand that was about to take the handkerchief in disappointment.

“Not hard work”

"Sister Ruoyao, please rest in the guest room opposite my room. Aunt Wang cleans it regularly, so no one has ever slept here. The sheets and quilt covers are new and very clean." She pushed open a door on the third floor and introduced the room. The interior was decorated in a simple style with warm colors, and it looked warm and comfortable.

"This is the shower room, and there is also a toilet." Li Xilian said as she pushed open another door in the room. After that, she tried the shower, turned it to the hot water direction, and waited for a while, but it was still cold.

It seems that it has been broken because no one has used it for a long time and no one has maintained it.

"The water heater seems to be broken. My sister won't let anyone else into her room, so I'm going to wash up in her room. My room is still working fine, so if Ruoyao wants to take a shower, she can go to my room. I have new pajamas, and there are brand new toiletries in the cabinet at the sink."

"Okay, thank you, Lianlian~" Li Ruoyao replied with a happy smile. She saw Lianlian's every move clearly, and her heart was filled with joy. After watching Li Xilian carefully explain everything, she took her things and went to Li Jin's room without disturbing her. Her sister was away on a business trip.

Because Li Jin had favored Li Xilian since childhood, she only allowed Li Xilian to enter Li Jin's room, and even her mother and others were not allowed to enter casually. This showed the extent of her favoritism. Li Xilian walked into the bathroom with ease.
