"Very comfortable." As Xiaoxiao spoke, she looked at the cut on her forehead again and asked, "Your head injury was also from hitting it when you climbed the wall."
Han Xixi touched the still slightly painful spot on her forehead and said, "I waited for you inside, I didn't climb the wall. I accidentally hit your brother's chin when I was rushing to meet you just now. His bones are really hard, it hurt so much."
Xiaoxiao saw that her tone was candid, and it seemed to be just a minor accident.
She could feel that Star Brother still cared about her the most, but thinking of Han Xixi's gaze at Star Brother made her feel a little uncomfortable, yet she still smiled.
Han Xixi, seeing that they had gotten acquainted, asked familiarly, "Xiaoxiao, are you and Qin Yuxing biological siblings? Why are you blonde with blue eyes, but your brother has black hair and black eyes like me?"
"I'm going to take a bath. You can leave the clothes at the bathroom door later." Xiaoxiao acted as if she hadn't heard her, put some distance between them, and went straight to the bathroom, closing the door.
Han Xixi muttered, "These siblings are exactly the same." She had no choice but to get Xiaoxiao's pajamas.
...
The next morning, Han Xixi had to go to class and told Xiaoxiao to stay in her dormitory.
After she returned from class, she would figure out how to take Xiaoxiao to see Qin Yuxing.
As soon as Han Xixi entered the classroom and found an empty seat, Qin Yuxing also arrived.
He took the initiative to sit next to Han Xixi. The other classmates were all looking at them and whispering.
It was known that Qin Yuxing had always been a loner since he enrolled. Although many girls in the school admired him, and some wrote him love letters or approached him proactively, he disdained them and ignored them completely.
This made all the girls who admired and liked him heartbroken and their dreams shattered.
But this morning, Qin Yuxing, for the first time, proactively sat with Han Xixi. Many people were guessing if they were together.
Han Xixi could feel the envious or jealous gazes from the female classmates, but she didn't care at all. Instead, she felt a little proud.
Only she knew why Qin Yuxing had taken the initiative to sit with her. She pursed her lips, trying hard not to laugh.
"Did Xiaoxiao sleep well in your dorm last night?" Qin Yuxing asked proactively when he saw her pursing her lips without speaking.
Han Xixi leaned close to his ear and said in a low voice, "She took a bath in my dorm last night and slept until dawn. I ordered an extra breakfast this morning, and she has already eaten."
"Thank you." As soon as Qin Yuxing finished speaking, the geography teacher walked into the classroom and began the lesson.
During class, he was not as focused as before, and was distracted, thinking that he had to rent a place outside the school to settle Xiaoxiao.
But he couldn't just let Xiaoxiao have a place to live. At her age, she still needed to go to school and continue her studies.
And he was living on the living expenses provided by his parents. It was fine to use some money to rent a place, but he also had to cover Xiaoxiao's tuition and other expenses. Then his living expenses would definitely not be enough.
"Qin Yuxing, you answer this question." The geography teacher noticed his inattention and called his name directly.
However, he was still thinking about his own matters and hadn't heard the teacher calling him at all.
"Qin Yuxing!" The geography teacher called his name loudly again, "Stand up and answer the question."
Han Xixi beside him quickly tugged Qin Yuxing's clothes and reminded him in a low voice, "The teacher is calling you."
Qin Yuxing snapped back to attention, immediately stood up, and calmly looked at the teacher, saying, "Please repeat the question."
The geography teacher quickly asked, "What are the main characteristics of the topography and landforms of America that I just explained?"
Qin Yuxing actually answered more comprehensively than what the geography teacher had just explained. All the classmates looked at him in surprise.
The geography teacher originally wanted to use this to criticize him for not listening attentively in class, but after hearing his answer, he had nothing to say and let him sit down.
Han Xixi looked at him with admiration, thinking to herself that a top student is indeed a top student, able to answer questions fluently even without paying attention in class.
As soon as class ended, Qin Yuxing put away his books and said to Han Xixi, "Go to the tree-lined path."
Then, without waiting for Han Xixi to say anything, he left the classroom first.
Han Xixi immediately picked up her schoolbag and followed him, chasing him to the tree-lined path on campus.
This was a place where couples who were secretly dating would usually come. Was Qin Yuxing calling her here to confess his love to her?
She couldn't help but have unrealistic fantasies.
Qin Yuxing stopped and looked around to make sure no one else was there, then said, "You brought Xiaoxiao here, I want to see her."
"Now?" Han Xixi thought she misheard and said, "We just finished the first morning class, and there's another class later. There are people coming and going on campus. If I bring her here, we'll definitely be discovered."
Qin Yuxing also knew she was right, but he was worried that Xiaoxiao would be too lonely by herself in the dormitory. There were still classes for the whole day, and if he could only see her after class, it would be evening.
"You can let her change into your school uniform and try to avoid others as much as possible. Xiaoxiao is most afraid of loneliness. I'm worried..."
"Lonely?" Han Xixi said unhappily, "My dorm has a computer and a tablet. I can go online and play games, and she can chat online. How can she be lonely?"
"You don't understand. Those online things you're talking about are virtual. She needs someone to accompany her so she won't be afraid of loneliness." Qin Yuxing felt that besides himself, no one could understand Xiaoxiao's inner world.
Han Xixi said angrily, "Do you know your sister? Have you ever thought that if we are discovered, both you and I will be punished by the school? If my parents find out, they might send me to a school with stricter management. I don't want to go to a school like a convent!"
Qin Yuxing ran his hand through his hair, realizing that he had been hasty and inconsiderate. He said, "I'm sorry, I didn't consider your difficulties."
Seeing that he also knew to apologize, Han Xixi stomped her foot and said, "Are you and she biological siblings or not? Are you pretending to be siblings while dating? Is she local? How did you meet her?"
"No, you're thinking too much," Qin Yuxing said. "Forget it, you go to class. We'll talk about it tonight..."
"What do you mean 'talk about it later'? Why aren't you answering me? Are you deliberately avoiding my questions?" Han Xixi asked relentlessly.
Qin Yuxing had no choice but to say, "Xiaoxiao and I are distant relatives. She's of mixed race. But her mother is gone, and her father is not good to her. She came to find me for refuge."
"So you really have a blood relationship?" Han Xixi asked, somewhat happily.
Qin Yuxing vaguely said, "There's a little bit, perhaps." Although he had learned from his parents long ago that he and Xiaoxiao had some blood relationship and that he was Xiaoxiao's cousin, he did not want to be siblings with Xiaoxiao from the bottom of his heart.
Han Xixi's mood improved greatly and she said, "So you have a blood relationship, you really are her brother."
Qin Yuxing grunted and said, "Why do you keep asking about this? I've already told you she's my sister."
