Chapter 24: Everyone Has a Vain Heart (2)

  "Second Miss, Madam asked me to bring you lunch."

  "Thank you!" I took the plate and closed the door, lowered my head to take a look, there were three bowls on the plate, rice bowl, dish bowl, soup bowl, still steaming hot, probably just heated up again.

  I was just feeling hungry, so I chose a bowl and started eating. After finishing lunch, I continued to review my notes. During this time, Auntie knocked on the door and took away the dishes.

  Time flies when I'm studying, and before I know it, the sky outside has darkened. I get up to turn on the light and hear voices outside my door. It's Xia Mu Cheng's voice, and I also hear another person's voice, probably Cheng Auntie. Their tone is different from usual, as if they're arguing about something. Suddenly, Xia Mu Cheng says loudly, "I know!" followed by a loud bang, the sound of the opposite door slamming shut, and then what sounds like footsteps going downstairs.

  Although I was curious about the reason for their quarrel, I didn't want to become a gossip girl, so I walked back to my desk and continued to review my lessons.

  "Knock knock." I had just memorized half of it and took advantage of a breath to recite it once.

  "Knock knock knock." The person knocking on the door seemed to be getting impatient, so I had no choice but to give up reciting and get up to open the door.

  The first thing that caught my eye was a pair of PUMA sneakers. I slowly lifted my head, and on the reflection staring back at me was a person with a habitual smile and a sweet voice, "Brother, good!"

  "En." Xia Mu Cheng's expression wasn't as spirited as it was in the morning, perhaps he was thinking about something, and gave a vague response. Suddenly coming back to his senses, he put on a bright smile and said warmly, "If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask your brother, okay? By the way, it's almost time for dinner, let's head downstairs together."

  I nodded and closed the door, then went downstairs with him. I saw that Auntie Cheng was already sitting at the dinner table waiting for us.

  "Let's eat." Auntie Cheng picked up a piece of eggplant and put it on my rice, smiling at me. "Guo Zhong won't be back for a while, the company has been busy lately."

  "Oh." Although I didn't intentionally want to know, Auntie Cheng's words warmed my heart, this is the behavior of a family.

  Dinner was probably without the host, everyone ate very quickly. Cheng Auntie said that it's time to practice yoga and went to exercise first. Xia Muju suddenly received a call and left after eating half of her meal. After I finished eating, I saw Auntie collecting bowls and chopsticks, so I gave up on washing dishes and returned upstairs to continue revising my book.

  "Vivian?"

  "Huh?" I turned my head to look at the door, and found that it hadn't been closed. Xia Muzi was standing in the doorway, holding several notebooks in his hand, saying "I'll come help you guess the questions!"

  Guess what? I widened my eyes, could he be a genius student of St. Edward's?
