"Jiuan, come and eat." Mu Qing pulled her over. "Are wontons okay?"
"Yes." Xing Jiuan had been pulled to a seat by Mu Qing, but she still sat beside him.
She couldn't possibly treat Mu Qing so cautiously forever. This was the family member she was the closest to. Mu Qing was already very upset by this sudden and inexplicable estrangement. Xing Jiuan did not wish to continue being distanced from him. She was afraid that Mu Qing would really not like her in the future.
Actually, a few days was enough for Xing Jiuan to recover.
She took out a spoon and chopsticks and said softly, "Senior Brother, Little Junior Brother will be coming over later."
"Little Junior Brother?" Mu Qing was confused and flabbergasted.
However, he was very happy that Xing Jiuan had suddenly spoken to him.
"He is called Su Yize, a child who is around fifteen or sixteen. He'll be here in about two hours. I'm going to pick him up at the airport."
Xing Jiuan felt that she had grown up. Therefore, she called Su Yize a child by instinct, forgetting that she was only nineteen.
Mu Qing's lips curved into a smile. "You're only 19 years old. Those who don't know might think that you're old after hearing what you said.
"Let's go together later. I didn't even know that I have a little junior brother."
"Okay." Xing Jiuan's eyes curved into crescents as she looked at Mu Qing. Mu Qing's gaze immediately softened.
Ou Qi happened to come over and couldn't help but smile when she saw the two of them.
Actually, Ou Qi had previously suspected that Mu Qing was raising Xing Jiuan to be his wife. Later on, she slowly realized that he had raised Xing Jiuan like she was his child!
Mu Qing was clearly very young, and his facial features were well-defined and handsome. He was the type that many girls liked. However, as he sat with Xing Jiuan, he looked like a kind old father instead. There was no sense of a couple pairing between them at all. Ou Qi had wanted to ship them originally, but she really could not tell how the two of them were compatible.
If Mu Qing were a dozen years older, it would be quite suitable.
They looked like siblings, but there was no brother who would take care of his sister like this. He wanted to take care of every single aspect of her life meticulously, just like a father.
"Oh right, Jiuan, University A asks you when you'll be enrolling," Lu Mingxi said as he peeled an egg.
After a while, Xing Jiuan thought about it and said, "I don't really want to go."
"If you don't want to go, then don't go," Mu Qing said nonchalantly as he took an egg for Xing Jiuan.
"We don't care about that either."
Xing Jiuan took a spoon and ate the small wontons.
In her previous life, she was mocked because of her academic qualifications.
Huo Chulan was a straight-A beauty while she stopped her education after junior high.
Xing Jiuan was silent for a moment. "No, you should still enroll me. I want a degree."
Mu Qing looked at her in confusion.
"I want to study archaeology," Xing Jiuan said.
"Okay, I'll let the professor know then." Lu Mingxi made an "okay" gesture.
With that, he continued eating. Xing Jiuan felt that she was being childish again.
She clearly didn't want to have anything to do with the Huo family anymore, but she couldn't help but recall some things.
Indeed, she was too impulsive.
But since she had already said it, she would not ask for any changes.
She was also interested in archaeology. Coincidentally, one of her senior brothers happened to be an archaeologist and had brought her to a site personally. She had been influenced by him since she was young and understood a lot about the subject.
Actually, Xing Jiuan had learned many other things as well. She had been exceptionally intelligent since birth. Not only was she fast at picking up things, but she could also draw inferences from them. She also had talent and ingeniousness.. Master had also said that Xing Jiuan's excellence was something that others could not even envy.
