Chapter 155: Set-Up

Shen You gently leaned on Huo Xiao’s shoulder and looked at the puppy in front of her.

“At that time, I was probably just like the puppy. No one wanted me, and people despised me,” Shen You said lightly.

“But, fortunately, although the Shen family despised me as a daughter, they still brought me back,” Shen You continued.

“I have a new life here, although…” Shen You paused for a moment.

“But, everything is different now!” Shen You looked up at Huo Xiao.

“I am very grateful to the Shen family for bringing me back!” Shen You stared at Huo Xiao and said, “Even though I once hated them.”

Huo Xiao looked at Shen You. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. “I am also very grateful to them!”

The two of them looked at each other quietly. Looking into each other’s eyes, they felt everything was so beautiful.

Until…

“Woof!” The dog barked and broke the silence between the two of them.

Huo Xiao and Shen You seemed to have woken up from a dream and looked in the direction of the puppy.

The puppy seemed to have had a nightmare. It barked and flapped its limbs.

Shen You and Huo Xiao looked at each other and burst out laughing.

Shen You reached out her hand and gently comforted the restless little thing to calm it down.

Huo Xiao sat at the side and looked at them.

Xie Xiao and Xie Chen only returned home before dawn.

Shen You was not asleep yet. She was groping in the kitchen to find something to eat.

“Why aren’t you asleep in the middle of the night?” Xie Xiao asked when she saw the packets of things in Shen You’s hands.

“I can’t help it. I was reading till late. I’m hungry,” Shen You said as she raised the bags of snacks in her hands. “Would you like to have some?”

Xie Xiao nodded and walked over to take a packet. She sat on the sofa and began to eat.

“Seriously, what’s the big deal? Why made the two of us go back!” Xie Xiao said unhappily.

“After a whole night of tossing and turning, we didn’t even get a proper meal!” Xie Xiao became angrier as she spoke.

“What’s the matter? Why were you in such a hurry to go back?” Shen You sat next to Xie Xiao and asked.

“It’s my sister’s wedding!” Xie Xiao couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

“I don’t know what had happened to my parents that they insisted on arranging a blind date for my sister!” Xie Xiao said as she glanced at Xie Chen who had already quietly walked into the room.

Shen You also looked over.

Xie Chen looked very tired. She didn’t say a word as she walked into the room and closed the door.

“Judging from Sister Chen’s appearance, it doesn’t look good,” Shen You said worriedly.

“Exactly!” Xie Xiao sighed.

“They said that it was an urgent matter and asked us to go back. But when we went back, they said that they wanted to go out for dinner.” Xie Xiao slapped her thigh and continued, “How was that a dinner? It’s basically a set-up!”

“When we went to the hotel, we found a table full of four to five men waiting to go on a blind date with my sister!” Xie Xiao snorted and said.

“Can you imagine that scene!” Xie Xiao said, rolling her eyes to the sky.

Shen You thought of the awkward scene and couldn’t help but sweat for Xie Chen.

“How did sister Xie Chen eat that meal?” Shen You asked curiously.

Xie Xiao looked at Shen You like she was an elder and patted Shen You on the shoulder.

“Young Man, you don’t know my sister,” Xie Xiao said slowly, the corners of her mouth slightly curled up. “Even with a row of zombies in front of her, she could still eat a meal without being disturbed.”

After hearing that, Shen You’s eyes showed admiration.

After saying that, Xie Xiao shrugged dejectedly. “I don’t know when it started, but my sister has become this calm and collected…”

Shen You looked at Xie Chen’s tightly shut door and thought, “Maybe I should let them meet as soon as possible.”
