Chapter 11: Surprise
Xia Yue and Xia Yu chatted for an hour, and only hung up after he returned home.
"Ah, my poor big brother, luckily I'm smart and left right away, otherwise, I might be in trouble too." Xia Yue figured if she had stayed with a false identity, and then had a feud with her sister who she already didn't get along with, her foster parents would certainly favor her sister.
Hence, it would be a mess. It's much better to stay here without anyone to answer to, freely and comfortably.
After receiving Xia Yue's message, Yan Mo checked it carefully and found no problem.
Curious about what important matters she might need to discuss with him.
Yan Mo: I'll come over tomorrow, you send me the location. But I will bring someone with me, you don't mind, right?
Yuexia Touxian: OK, no problem.
Yuexia Touxian: [Location]
Yuexia Touxian: What time will you arrive?
Yan Mo: Nine o'clock
Yuexia Touxian: OK, no problem.
After the two confirm the meeting time and location, they ended the conversation.
"System, is it possible for him to see the virtual screen?" Xia Yue thought that if she could not provide evidence, what she said would all sound like nonsense.
[Yes, as long as you are willing to, the other party can see it.] The system responded affirmatively.
"That's great, otherwise, without evidence, I can't convince him. I need to get up early tomorrow to buy some fruits and clean up this place. If I'd known, I wouldn't have invited him over." The thought of having to get up early and clean up the house made Xia Yue wear a pained expression.
[Don't you have a cleaning robot?] The system reminded.
"You said it yourself, it's a cleaning robot, for cleaning floors, not tidying up things." Xia Yue retorted, then asked expectantly, "Just asking, is there a housekeeping robot in the store? One that can do housework automatically."
[There is, but you don't have any Cosmic Points now, so you can't buy it.] The system replied.
"Then I will work hard tomorrow to make him believe in me." Xia Yue now had the motivation to strive.
[Hmmm, in fact, there are many good things available, both for eating and using.] Seeing her motivated, the system seized the opportunity to tempt her.
"I know." Xia Yue nodded.
The next day, around six o'clock, Xia Yue got up and tidied up the living room on the first floor so it wouldn't look so messy. She bought some fresh fruits and drinks and even got herself breakfast.
After washing the fruits, she placed them and the drinks on the living room coffee table.
At half-past eight, she heard the doorbell and rushed to look through the peephole, discovered it was Xia Yu and quickly let him in.
"Big brother, how come you're here? Come in, come in!" Xia Yue was surprised to see Xia Yu dressed casually and asked in astonishment.
"You're up so early? I was just about to call you." Xia Yu walked in, expressing his surprise at seeing Xia Yue awake so early.
"Hehe, well, someone's coming over later. At first, I thought it was him, why are you here?" Xia Yue said shyly.
"Oh, I see. Who's it? Capable of making you wake up so early?" Without answering her question, Xia Yu walked inside, asking as he went.
"Nobody special, someone you don't know very well." Xia Yue smiled.
Entering the house, the two siblings sat on the sofa.
"Your place looks quite nice." Xia Yu commented, looking at the decoration and decor, he laughed.
"Of course, I chose it myself." Xia Yue declared proudly.
"That's good." Seeing that she wasn't pretending, Xia Yu felt relieved.
