Chapter 114: Years (2)_1
Situ Xin didn’t care, but that didn’t mean others were indifferent. Situ Jin, Xiao Muli, and Yu Qihao’s expressions turned unpleasant when they saw Zhang Siya stand up. They all thought to themselves that if Zhang Siya dared to pull any tricks on Situ Xin, they wouldn’t mind showing her the door.
Even though in this class, Zhang Siya occasionally threw inexplicable glances at her, overall, Situ Xin’s life was pretty comfortable. When her classmates found out she was Situ Jin’s sister, their looks at Situ Xin changed. They tried to please her from time to time. The boys in the class were even more charmed by Situ Xin’s doll-like appearance and spoiled her like a little sister.
However, because of the presence of Situ Xin and those two, they didn’t dare to go too far. But they would occasionally bring some of the good snacks from their homes for Situ Xin.
"Baby, what are you thinking about today? You keep spacing out," Situ Jin spoke to Situ Xin, but seeing that she didn’t respond for a long while, he lowered his head to look at her and realized that the girl had lost herself in thought again.
"What? Is it because of the recent stress from studying?" Yu Qihao asked worriedly, and although Xiao Muli didn’t speak, the furrow in his brows let Situ Xin know that he was also very concerned about her. After so many years together, Situ Xin had become very attuned to the minutest actions of those around her.
"Nope, when have I ever worried about studies?" Situ Xin said with a look of surprise as to why they would even think that, looking at the three of them—Situ Jin and the other two.
"Yes, you have never worried about your studies. I don’t even know what your little head is made of. You barely attended elementary school, jumped straight to the graduating class, and still managed to take the middle school entrance exam and ranked first in the entire city," Situ Jin said adoringly to Situ Xin. It wasn’t hard to detect that there was no envy in his tone—just pride. He was proud to have such a sister.
To know that Situ Xin achieved good results brought them more joy than achieving good results themselves.
"And where do you three fall short? I haven’t seen you immerse yourselves in books or pay attention in class either. You’re always busy with your own stuff, and still, you rank the same as me in exams," Situ Xin glanced at her brother Situ Jin as she spoke.
The car entered the military compound and stopped at the doorstep of Situ Xin’s home. "Grandpa and Grandma, Grandfather and Grandmother. Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao, Baby is back!" Situ Xin called out at the doorstep even before entering the house. It was a habit of hers. At home, she still used the nickname from her childhood, Baby, a term of endearment unique to her family.
