“That girl An Xiaoyu would never buy these kinds of dishes to keep at home. If I had to guess, the instant noodles over there are probably her staple food, right?”
Qin Zhizhi spoke to Xia Xi while she packed her things.
“Based on my many years of experience, men who can cook are generally good men. That’s the first point of your good nature.”
So just being able to cook makes you a good person?
Xia Xi couldn’t agree. After all, there are plenty of people in the world who can cook; surely not all of them are good people?
He didn’t speak, just continued listening.
“You were willing to help Xiaoyu by coming to the hospital to pay my fees, and you didn’t embezzle the money she earned. That’s the second point.”
“You look healthy, and you walk normally. I believe you haven’t defiled Xiaoyu’s body; you’re a righteous gentleman. That’s the third point.”
Hearing Qin Zhizhi call him a ‘righteous gentleman’, Xia Xi couldn’t help but blush a little.
He had actually taken baths and such… but because the body was quite weak, he hadn’t done anything inappropriate. Still, he didn’t feel he deserved the title ‘righteous gentleman’…
Since Qin Zhizhi was packing and didn’t turn around, she didn’t see Xia Xi’s flushed state.
“As for the final point… I saw the news at the hospital.”
“The news?” Xia Xi was puzzled.
“Yes, about An Hu. Although they pixelated it and his limbs were reversed, I could recognize his tattoos and build at a glance.”
As she spoke, Qin Zhizhi snapped her suitcase shut with a thud and suddenly turned to stare into Xia Xi’s eyes.
“You’re the one who did that to him, aren’t you?”
In her mind, since Xia Xi could turn into her daughter, making An Hu’s limbs reversed probably wasn’t a difficult task for him either.
Xia Xi was stunned for a moment, then let out a soft “Mmm.”
He hadn’t expected the incident with An Hu to make the news. Was it because too many people saw that body defying common sense?
“You gave that scoundrel An Hu the punishment he deserved. You punished evil and promoted good, so you are a good person.”
Seriously, these reasons sounded like something you’d use to pacify a child.
Xia Xi pouted.
“If you put it that way, then why didn’t I, this ‘good person’ who punishes evil, call the police and have you arrested too? You were in that line of work.”
Hearing this, Qin Zhizhi chuckled softly again.
“Xiaoyu also said she would call the police on me. And what was the result? She never actually dialed 110. Hehe. Besides, I’ve been out of the business for over ten years, living honestly as a housewife.”
As she spoke, she turned around, no longer looking at Xia Xi.
“You, you’re really like Xiaoyu. Say one thing but mean another, not straightforward at all~”
Who’s like her!
I’m being sarcastic, she’s being tsundere. It’s not the same thing at all!
Darn it… Stop wearing that sneaky, amused smile!
….
“Bro! Over here, over here!”
The airport wasn’t very crowded in the evening. Xia Yue spotted him as soon as he got off the plane.
Because he had sent a photo beforehand, Xia Yue knew what her brother looked like now.
“It’s so late. You three girls coming to the airport alone – weren’t you afraid someone might kidnap you to take you home as an RBQ?”
Xia Xi dragged his suitcase over to Xia Yue and gave her a sharp knock on the head.
“What’s that supposed to mean! I just wanted to see you as soon as possible! Boo hoo, I come to pick you up with good intentions only to get hit. This little sister is truly heartbroken~”
Qin Zhizhi, following behind Xia Xi, looked curiously at the young girls… oh, and there was a older boy too. So… this boy must be Xiaoyu, right?
“Xiaoyu, is that you?”
She asked Bai Xiaocha quietly.
Bai Xiaocha scratched his head awkwardly and pushed An Xiaoyu, who was currently in the body of the blue-haired loli, forward.
An Xiaoyu put her hands on her hips and pointed a finger at Qin Zhizhi.
“Looks like your sickness has muddled your brain if you can’t even recognize me! Qin Zhizhi, your head’s not working right, you look weak as hell, you might as well just drop dead!”
Looking at the little loli in front of her, Qin Zhizhi simply pulled her into a hug without a word.
“What are you doing! There are so many people watching!”
An Xiaoyu initially wanted to struggle, but after feeling the warmth of Qin Zhizhi’s embrace, she suddenly didn’t want to.
How long had it been since she herself had seen Qin Zhizhi? A week? A month?
Whatever… I’ll reluctantly let her hug me for a bit…
Nearby, Xia Xi and Xia Yue watched this scene, identical auntie-like smiles appearing on their faces, which then simultaneously returned to normal.
Xia Yue nudged Xia Xi’s shoulder with her elbow, half-covering her mouth with her hand, eyes slightly squinted, looking sneaky.
“I gotta say, bro, you’ve really outdone yourself, actually managing to pick up such a pretty big sister~”
Xia Xi swatted her hand away. “Wasn’t it you who told me to bring her back?”
“Ah, ah, don’t sweat the small details~”
Xia Yue took the suitcase from her brother and then pushed it over to Bai Xiaocha.
After all, Bai Xiaocha was currently the only one present with the strength of a “boy”~
“By the way, bro, how did you end up swapping bodies with the big sister from Rong City?”
Xia Yue had actually asked An Xiaoyu and Bai Xiaocha too; their stories were similar – they played a game and woke up like this.
Naturally, Xia Xi’s explanation now wasn’t much different.
He couldn’t very well tell his sister: “That’s right, your big brother is a man with a system! All these beautiful bodies belong to me now! Jie jie jie!”
Ugh~ If he dared utter such chuunibyou lines, he’d be laughed to death by Xia Yue in the next second.
While Xia Xi’s group was busy catching up and exchanging pleasantries, passersby glanced at them with strange looks as they walked past.
One girl calling another girl “big brother”… what kind of play is the youth into these days?
A sickly woman hugging a well-maintained little loli, a picture of deep mother-daughter affection… what’s that about? “Wealthy loli searches for years, finally finds impoverished mother”?
And that boy, why does he seem so awkward? What’s with the pigeon-toed stance and the timid, animal-like expression?
Sure enough, you shouldn’t book flight tickets arriving in the evening. It’s easy to run into imposters…
….
Bai Xiaocha’s home.
“You all rest first. I’ll go boil some dumplings.”
Xia Xi and Qin Zhizhi nodded.
An Xiaoyu, who usually lived on instant noodles, should probably be fine boiling some frozen dumplings.
However…
“Hehe, Onii-chan, to welcome your arrival, the three of us made dumplings from scratch~ What do you think? Touched?”
Touched?
You think I dare to be touched right now?!
If you said Bai Xiaocha knows how to make dumplings, he might believe it, given she’s a 2D loli who can bake handmade cookies.
But he knew exactly how capable you, Xia Yue, are! Making dumplings? The ones you make are probably more like depth charges, aren’t they?
Sure enough, after just two or three minutes, dull thump thump thump sounds, like explosions, came from the kitchen.
When everyone rushed to the kitchen, they found the blue-haired loli sitting on the floor, her big eyes full of small confusion.
Several dumpling wrappers, blown into multiple pieces, adorned her little head, and even some uncooked meat filling hung from her hair. It was a truly pathetic sight…
