Shen Meijia’s gaze was puzzled. She was extremely innocent.

She would never expect that Xiao Ruoxuan was doing this on purpose. She merely thought that her wording was a bit awkward.

Xiao Ruoxuan’s expression froze, and her gaze towards Shen Meijia became unfriendly as well.

Xiao Ying quickly pushed Shen Meijia away from her to prevent Xiao Ruoxuan from noticing her.

However, looking at Xiao Ruoxuan’s malicious gaze, Xiao Ying knew that it was too late.

She pulled Shen Meijia behind her. This time, she’ll protect her instead.

Xiao Ruoxuan cried again and said, “How can you say that? Are you saying my feelings for my sister aren’t as deep as yours when you’re only her classmate?”

Shen Meijia was speechless.

Looking at the gazes of her classmates, her face flushed red.

“Xiao Ruoxuan, you’ve just been brought back to the Xiao family. You’re certainly settling pretty well for someone who’s lived in the countryside for so many years,” Xiao Ying said.

Xiao Ruoxuan immediately retorted snappishly, “You’re the one that stayed in the countryside.”

This was Xiao Ruoxuan’s sore spot. When she was young, the Xiao couple did not have much time on their hands and had indeed sent her to stay at her grandfather’s house in the countryside for two years.

At this moment, the gentle image that Xiao Ruoxuan had created was ruined.

The students also felt that the princess-like air about Xiao Ruoxuan had disappeared.

They all walked out of the classroom and went out to play, no longer paying attention to the Xiao sisters.

Xiao Ruoxuan twisted the handkerchief in her hand and glared fiercely at Xiao Ying.

Shen Meijia was frightenedby Xiao Ruoxuan’s gaze. This was the first time she had ever felt such strong malice.

Nonetheless, Shen Meijia still opened her mouth and said, “Xiao Ruoxuan, the way you’re looking at Xiao Ying is not okay.”

Xiao Ruoxuan fiercely glared at Shen Meijia and said, “It’s none of your business.”

After saying that, she ran out.

Shen Meijia was so frightened that she took a step back. Xiao Ying helped her steady herself.

She looked at Xiao Ying helplessly. Xiao Ying smiled warmly and stroked her head. “Stay away from her in the future.”

After being comforted by Xiao Ying, Shen Meijia smiled and nodded in agreement.

After a while, Shen Meijia had already forgotten what had just happened. She hugged Xiao Ying’s arm and said, “Xiao Ying, I think you’re a little different today.”

Xiao Ying paused for a moment before asking, “How am I different?”

Shen Meijia thought for a moment before saying, “In the past, you always seemed to be living in your own world, out of place with everyone else. You weren’t realistic at all. But now, you’re much better. I like the smiley you.”

Xiao Ying smiled again. She was surprised a ten-year-old child could say such deep things.

But she was right. Everything about her in her previous life had been fake. Naturally, she could not blend in with this world.

After break time passed, Xiao Ruoxuan must’ve done something, because the students in class returned to being enthusiastic towards her.

At the same time, they were also faintly isolating Xiao Ying.

Xiao Ying was not interested in this. She supported her head with her hands and organized the medical skills she had just learned in her mind.

A day passed quickly.

When they were about to leave school, Liu Meifeng informed everyone about the parent-teacher conference again.

Xiao Ying and Shen Meijia held hands and walked out with the crowd.

When they reached the school gate, they saw a chubby middle-aged man standing in front of a car.

Shen Meijia’s eyes lit up when she saw him and began running towards him.

“Daddy.”

She only ran for a short distance before she returned and pulled Xiao Ying over to the man. She said proudly, “Daddy, this is my good friend, Xiao Ying.”

This was the first time Xiao Ying had been introduced by someone in such a smug and boastful tone.

Shen Dazhuang’s chubby face carried a smile as he patted Shen Meijia’s head. He looked down towards Xiao Ying and said, “You must be Xiao Jia’s classmate, Xiao Ying. Xiao Jia has been praising you, saying that you are beautiful, have a good temperament, and do well in your studies…”

“Daddy!” Shen Meijia hid behind Shen Dazhuang’s waist shyly.

Shen Dazhuang laughed. “Our Xiao Jia is getting shy.. Alright, I won’t say anything else.”
