Fang Xinyi was also busy tidying up, making Li Xu feel a little uncomfortable. “Xinyi, why don’t you go home with Auntie later? 1 called again last night. That grandma said your mother might be on a business trip and will only be back in two days.”
Li Xu told a white lie.
It was obvious that Fang Xinyi’s expression was a little disappointed after she finished speaking.
After experiencing such a terrible thing yesterday, no one’s comfort and persuasion were more useful than a hug from her mother.
However, Deng Juan still didn’t know what had happened to her daughter. She was at the police station.
“Auntie promised to buy you new clothes yesterday afternoon, but she forgot. But Auntie went to buy it for you last night. Come back with me and try it on. Is it suitable?” Li Xu coaxed.
Fang Xinyi pursed her lips and nodded.
She was already so old, so she naturally had some insight. Jingyi and her mother were moving, so they had no time to take her in.
Seeing this, Li Xu asked Hu Chunli, “Did you call for a taxi? When do you plan to move? Let’s help you move it before we leave!”
Hu Chunli quickly shook her head, “No need, no need. I’ve contacted Uncle Meng. He’ll be here in the afternoon. I don’t have many things. With his help, 1 should be able to move everything quickly. There’s no hurry with the school matters. 1’11 settle them tomorrow morning. It’s quite convenient to let Jingyi go to class after it’s done.”
Hearing this, Li Xu also felt that Hu Chunli was right. She nodded and said, “Alright, I won’t stand on ceremony with you. If you need any help, just call me.”
“I know,” Hu Chunli said, “You can take the children back first.” Xinyi didn’t eat much for breakfast. She’s probably hungry now.”
“Alright, I’ll hurry home and cook for the children.” Li Xu quickly said.
After leaving Hu Chunli’s house, Li Xu brought the children to the bus station and took a bus back to the city.
There were no empty rooms in the house, and Fang Xinyi would only be staying at home for a few days. It was a little troublesome for the brothers to vacate a room, so Li Xu simply arranged for Ji Yuanyuan and Fang Xinyi to stay in the same room.
Once they reached home, Ji Yuanyuan pulled Fang Xinyi into the bedroom.
Li Xu brought the clothes she bought to Ji Yuanyuan’s room, “Yuanyuan, help Xinyi try them on. If you don’t like them or the size doesn’t fit, we can change the size and style.”
Fang Xinyi looked at the clothes and felt a little uneasy, “Auntie, 1 have clothes to wear, so I don’t want them. This should be very expensive, right? Why don’t you take it back?”
Li Xu lied to her, “You can wear it. It was not expensive at all. It’s just in time for a discount. It’s very cheap. Because it’s a discounted item, they can only exchange it and not return it.”
After she finished speaking, she saw that Fang Xinyi’s expression was still a little uncomfortable. Li Xu continued, “Alright, I won’t disturb you two sisters anymore. I’ll go cook.”
After saying that, she left the room.
The moment the door closed, Fang Xinyi heaved a sigh of relief.
She stood in the middle of the room cautiously and looked around Ji Yuanyuan’s room. She said enviously, “Yuanyuan, your room is really beautiful.”
Ji Yuanyuan leaned over and took out all the clothes from the bag.
She spread it out on the bed, “I chose this for you. I think you should like it. Take off your clothes and try them on.”
Hearing this, Fang Xinyi became even more reserved. She buttoned the zipper on her chest with both hands, “Forget it. 1 have clothes to wear. If you can’t return it, then you can wear it. I’m only a little taller than you. You can definitely wear it.”
Although Fang Xinyi was two years older than Ji Yuanyuan, she was only two to three centimeters taller than Ji Yuanyuan, perhaps due to a lack of nutrition.
“Aiya, don’t be embarrassed. 1 bought it for you. Just wear it!” Ji Yuanyuan reached out and was about to unzip Fang Xinyi’s jacket, “Besides, it’s so hot in the house. You’ll get heatstroke if you wear so much.”
Fang Xinyi hurriedly covered her zipper, her expression somewhat embarrassed.
“Wait, I’ll pull it myself!” Fang Xinyi said.
Hearing this, Ji Yuanyuan withdrew her hand.
Fang Xinyi hesitantly reached out and unzipped her jacket.
“Take off your sweater too. I’ll find you a short-sleeved shirt to wear.” Ji Yuanyuan urged again.
The floor heating in the neighborhood was especially warm. They usually wore short-sleeved shirts at home.
Fang Xinyi refused to take it off anymore. She tugged at the corner of her clothes and shook her head, “No need, I’m not hot at all!”
How could she say that it wasn’t hot? It had only been a while since she came in, and her forehead was already sweating.
Ji Yuanyuan was about to say something when she suddenly thought of something.
She didn’t say anything else. She went to the wardrobe and took out a short-sleeved shirt and a pair of thin pants. She placed them on the bed and said, “I’m going out to help my mother with cooking. You can change your clothes.”
After saying that, Ji Yuanyuan stood up and walked out.
After Ji Yuanyuan left, Fang Xinyi hesitantly reached out to touch the clothes on the bed.
A moment later, she took off the old sweater on her body, revealing the autumn clothes underneath.
The long johns looked older than the sweaters, and the elbows were patched.
When her mother sewed her, she especially found a piece of cloth with a similar color and pattern for her.
However, it was still very obvious.
Like a thief, she quickly took off her long johns and curled them up together with her sweater.
After changing into the clothes that Ji Yuanyuan had found for her and putting on the jacket that Li Xu had bought for her, Fang Xinyi walked out of the room cautiously.
Outside, Ji Yuanyuan was squatting at the kitchen door, helping Li Xu with her work.
Seeing Fang Xinyi come out, she smiled and said, “It fits quite well.”
When Li Xu heard this, she turned around and took a look, “Alright, then there’s no need to change the size.”
She stood up and discussed with the two of them, “Can we have noodles for lunch?”
“Is that okay?” Ji Yuanyuan asked Fang Xinyi.
Fang Xinyi quickly nodded, “It’s okay, I’ll eat anything.”
Ji Yuanyuan then said to Li Xu in the kitchen, “Mom, we’ll eat whatever you cook. We love whatever you cook.”
Li Xu was amused by Ji Yuanyuan, “Alright, then you guys can go back to the from and wait!”
Fang Xinyi was naturally not that insensible. She and Ji Yuanyuan accompanied Li Xu in the kitchen, helping her out.
In the afternoon, Hu Chunli and Yang Jingyi moved into their new house.
After dinner, Yang Jingyi rushed over.
The first thing she said when she entered was to greet Fang Xinyi, “Xinyi, why don’t you sleep with me at my place tonight? We haven’t finished talking last night!”
Fang Xinyi did not answer but subconsciously looked at Ji Yuanyuan who was beside her..
