Arrogant and domineering because of his good looks: His Majesty always pretends to be righteous

Xia Yuanxiao remained inside for a long time, refusing to come out. Xia Rongliu stood outside the curtain, calling out anxiously, "Yuanxiao, Xia Yuanxiao!"

Xia Yuanxiao responded with a verbal reply.

Xia Rongliu breathed a sigh of relief; she had almost thought something terrible had happened. "Yuanxiao, are you alright? Is something wrong? Why didn't you come out?"

Xia Yuanxiao clenched the clothes in her hands, parted the curtain to reveal her small face, and said, "Sister, I don't know how to dress myself."

After she finished speaking, two blushes appeared on Xia Yuanxiao's face, and Xia Rongliu froze.

She hadn't considered this issue. Xia Yuanxiao might have been abducted at a very young age. Those human traffickers are so despicable, how could they possibly consider things like food, clothing, shelter, and transportation?

Looking left and right, Xia Rongliu guessed that Lin Yue was still picking out fabrics.

When she was little, Lin Yue made her a dress because she didn't choose the right fabric. It felt fine to the touch, but after wearing it for a day, she became unbearably itchy and developed a rash all over her body.

She went to see a doctor and found out that the allergy was caused by the fabric.

Therefore, Lin Yue is now extra careful when selecting these items, choosing them repeatedly, which takes a long time.

Seeing that Xia Rongliu didn't speak, Xia Yuanxiao assumed that Xia Rongliu disliked her and silently lowered her head. Xia Rongliu thought to herself, "Forget it, I'm already over twenty years old in both my lives, why would I be afraid of a little kid?"

Xia Rongliu lifted the curtain and went inside.

"Sister!" Xia Yuanxiao exclaimed in surprise, not expecting Xia Rongliu to come in directly.

"What are you yelling for? I'll dress you and tie the ribbons." Xia Rongliu saw that Xia Yuanxiao was still wearing that pink dress and said directly, "Take it off."

"Take...take...take it off?" Xia Yuanxiao stammered, her face as red as a ripe apple.

Xia Rongliu couldn't stand Xia Yuanxiao's dawdling any longer. "Fine, I'll do it." She then reached out to help Xia Yuanxiao undress. Xia Yuanxiao was so startled that she almost jumped up, but Xia Rongliu pressed her down.

Stripped naked, Xia Yuanxiao shivered in the air. The cold winter air swirled around her, and soon, her skin was covered with tiny bumps.

Seeing this, Xia Rongliu quickly helped Xia Yuanxiao put on the clothes. When it came to tying the ties, Xia Rongliu lowered her head and carefully adjusted them. Xia Yuanxiao noticed that the base of Xia Rongliu's ears was also bright red, extending all the way down to her neck.

There were several straps for the tie, but Xia Rongliu always got them mixed up, so she simply tied a knot that couldn't be tied properly.

Looking up, he saw Xia Yuanxiao still dazed and patted his head. "You know how to put your pants on, right?"

Xia Yuanxiao nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes."

"Okay, then you can put it on yourself. I'll go out first." Stepping out from behind the curtain, Xia Rongliu patted her cheeks and took a few deep breaths.

What's going on? It's like I'm taking advantage of him. Xia Rongliu pouted.

After a while, Xia Yuanxiao lifted the curtain and came out, and Xia Rongliu looked over in response.

It must be said that Xia Rongliu has a very good sense of aesthetics. The blue dress makes Xia Yuanxiao look great. It's just that Xia Yuanxiao is too beautiful, almost like a girl. Her skin is sickly pale, and she is a bit reserved.

There's one problem: she's still too thin, just a skeleton.

Xia Rongliu walked around Xia Yuanxiao a few times and nodded in satisfaction. "You look great, but you're too thin. Since you're here at our house, eat more and gain some weight."

There were a few more clothes in her hand that she had picked out for Xia Yuanxiao. Xia Rongliu was about to suggest that she try them on, but then she realized the knot she had just tied and shut up.

Lin Yue had also chosen the fabric and came over to Xia Rongliu and Xia Yuanxiao, asking, "How is it? Have you chosen the clothes?"

"I've chosen, I've chosen, Mother, let's go." Xia Rongliu chuckled. "Let him wear this one for now."

Anyway, the other items I chose were all the same size, and they all looked the same when I wore them.

Lin Yue looked at Xia Yuanxiao and said, "She's really pretty, and her clothes are prettier than a little girl's. Let's go, let's pay the bill."

Xia Rongliu led Xia Yuanxiao behind Lin Yue, and bought them both a string of candied hawthorns on their way home.

When they got home, even Xia Rongliu, who eats everything slowly, had eaten four hawthorn balls and still had two left. Xia Yuanxiao, however, hadn't even finished the first one.

When they got home, Lin Yue let the two of them play by themselves and went to do her own things. Xia Rongliu looked at Xia Yuanxiao and felt anxious for him.

"Just bite, take a big bite, just like you eat a glutinous rice ball." Xia Rongliu taught, giving a demonstration on the spot. Half a hawthorn ball was gone in one bite, and she said at the end, "Mmm~ so sweet."

Xia Yuanxiao's mouth slowly approached the candied hawthorn, and Xia Rongliu looked at him expectantly. As his mouth got closer and closer to the candied hawthorn, Xia Rongliu's neck involuntarily tilted back.

However, just as her mouth was a few millimeters away from the candied hawthorn, Xia Yuanxiao slightly opened her mouth and then stuck out her tongue to lick the sugar coating on the outside.

Xia Rongliu: "..."

Instead of forcing Xia Yuanxiao, Xia Rongliu found a knife and a plate, took the candied hawthorn off the stick, cut it open with the knife, removed the pit, and placed it in front of Xia Yuanxiao. "Eat it."

Xia Yuanxiao slowly picked up a small piece and put it in her mouth.

Mmm, it's really sweet, and a little sour too. It's sweet and sour, and I thought it was so delicious that I took a few more pieces, and I even felt a little embarrassed.

"You should eat more and gain some weight; it'll look much better that way."

Xia Yuanxiao paused. He had often heard them praise his good looks these past few days, and he had thought they were just trying to comfort him. But now he realized that he really was good-looking.

With a few thoughts in mind, Xia Yuanxiao picked up a piece of food and said to Xia Rongliu in a childish voice, "Sister, eat this."

"I won't eat it, eating too much will give me cavities." Xia Rongliu pinched Xia Yuanxiao's little face. "You can't eat too many sweets either, look at your face, it's so white."

Before meeting Xia Yuanxiao, Xia Rongliu thought there probably wasn't a girl in town as fair-skinned as her, or as pretty as her. But after meeting Xia Yuanxiao, Xia Rongliu finally understood.

There was no girl, but maybe a boy. Xia Yuanxiao's face was sickly pale, the unhealthy kind, looking lifeless and pale.

"Once winter is over and the sun comes out, I'll take you out to bask in the sun more. Look how fair your little face is; it'll scare people to death if you go out at night like this." Xia Rongliu continued to pinch Xia Yuanxiao's little face.

I must say, this skin feels pretty good, soft and supple, but you can only pinch a tiny bit of it.

"Eat more, two bowls per meal from now on, that's settled." Xia Rongliu ordered directly, releasing Xia Yuanxiao's little face, which still had red marks from her pinching. Xia Rongliu almost choked on her own saliva.

"Sister, what's wrong?" Xia Yuanxiao couldn't help but ask worriedly.

Xia Rongliu waved her hand to indicate that she was fine, "Don't let anyone pinch your face in the future, understand?"

Xia Yuanxiao nodded obediently, and Xia Rongliu said, "Alright, it's alright now. Mother is probably done. I'll go to the kitchen to check."
