Bella Green looked at him with a peculiar expression.
That gaze made Daniel Green very uncomfortable, his eyes darting around like a child who had done something wrong, head lowered, a bit at a loss.
He didn’t know if Bella would care about him; given her personality, she’d probably just walk away without looking back, right?
Thinking this, the boy’s eyes became even more downcast.
Seeing Daniel’s pitiful look, as if he’d suffered a great injustice, Bella couldn’t help but roll her eyes, only feeling a headache.
She raised her hand and pointed to an old tree by the roadside.
"Go stand by the roots." Bella said irritably, then turned and entered the dormitory building.
Daniel froze, watched her figure disappear at the door, then turned to glance at the tree by the road.
Xylia Xandrell and Sophie Lowe, who came back later, just arrived below the dormitory building and immediately saw Daniel standing straight under the tree, like an elementary school student being punished.
Xylia thought for a moment and walked over.
Looking at the girl who suddenly appeared in front of him, Daniel frowned slightly. He remembered Xylia, who had been to his house before, Bella’s annoying relative.
The boy looked at her coldly, then snorted, turning his head away, clearly not wanting to deal with her.
Xylia hesitated for a moment, then realized the reason for Daniel’s attitude, and gave a wry smile.
"Did Bella tell you to stand here?" Xylia asked softly.
The reason she asked was naturally because Daniel’s current appearance didn’t look like he was waiting for someone, but rather as if he had been punished to stand there.
Bella certainly had the kind of personality to do something .
"What does this have to do with you?" Daniel responded irritably.
Xylia wasn’t annoyed, just treating Daniel like a child: "It’s nothing, I’m just happy to see you and Bella getting along well."
Earlier, she had wondered whether Bella would be doing well after returning home, but now it seemed she had overthought it.
Although her parents seemed difficult to get along with, at least she had a good brother.
When he heard this, Daniel’s body stiffened sharply, and he looked at Xylia. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on NoveI~Fire.net
"You, you think I get along well with her?"
After asking, Daniel pressed his lips together tightly, then spoke again: "She hates me."
Hearing this, Xylia was taken aback, a bit puzzled, and then couldn’t help but chuckle softly.
"If she hated you, she wouldn’t have rushed over so angrily and anxiously when she heard you were in a fight."
Xylia’s words were like a boulder crashing into the still waters of Daniel’s heart, causing more than just a ripple.
"You, you said she was in a hurry to find me just now?" Daniel’s eyes sparkled with excitement.
As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to realize something, his cheeks suddenly flushed, and he raised his voice: "And also, I wasn’t beaten up, that was a fight, don’t you know how to speak?"
"The guy’s face is clean, but you got beaten up like a pig’s head, and you still have the nerve to call that a fight?"
A mocking voice suddenly interjected. The next second, Daniel, who had been itching to quarrel with Xylia to prove himself, immediately resumed his earlier straight posture.
Eyes fixed ahead, his face flushed red.
Xylia saw Bella coming down with disinfectant and cotton swabs in hand and couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
"See, your sister really cares about you." she whispered in Daniel’s ear.
Daniel gave Bella a complicated look, then glanced at Xylia, finally fixing his gaze on the alcohol disinfectant and cotton swabs in the girl’s hand, but said nothing.
"I saw it on your desk, so I just borrowed it." Bella didn’t pay attention to Daniel and spoke to Xylia.
Xylia nodded with a smile: "This bottle is clean, it hasn’t been opened yet. You go ahead and apply the medicine for him, I’m heading back."
With that, she turned and left, leaving the siblings under the tree.
