Seeing Xia You skillfully leading him through the streets, Ling Ling asked curiously, "Xia You, you must have lived here for quite a long time, right?"
"Well, I was born here and lived here until I was ten years old. This place holds all my good memories. After I was ten, my mother suddenly left for some unknown reason. Then my father seemed to have become a different person, which is what you see."
Although Xia You's explanation was very brief, Ling Ling still felt distressed when listening to it, especially when thinking of the scars on Xia You's body. Ling Ling didn't know how to comfort her and could only hold Xia You's hand silently.
Feeling the warmth coming from her palm, Xia You smiled faintly: "It's alright... because Ling Ling is here."
"······Um."
This scene was seen clearly by Xia Li who was hiding not far behind the two men. Although she did not understand what they were talking about, she only noticed that her sister Xia You had a wrong expression and eyes.
And why did the two of them hold hands while talking? This is obviously very abnormal, okay? Although two girls holding hands is a normal thing in the eyes of ordinary people.
But for some reason, looking at the two people not far away, she always had a feeling that things were not that simple.
As if sensing something, Xia You suddenly turned around and looked at Xia Li. Fortunately, Xia Li hid quickly, otherwise she would have been discovered.
"Xia You, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, maybe it's my illusion."
Xia Li breathed a sigh of relief. She was worthy of being Sister Xia You. When they were playing hide-and-seek when they were kids, basically no one could hide under her nose. She didn't expect that she was still the same when she grew up.
Just when Xia Li was about to continue following with emotion, she suddenly found that the two people who were originally standing on the roadside had disappeared without her knowing when.

"Xia You, what's wrong?"
Ling Ling looked at Xia You in confusion. They were just chatting, but for some reason, Xia You suddenly pulled her and ran inside. They didn't stop until they came to this dark alley.
"No...nothing, I just felt like someone was following us." Xia You said lightly, because she still felt a little embarrassed that she had dragged Ling Ling so far based on her feeling.
“Eh!?”
After hearing Xia You's explanation, Ling Ling was stunned for a moment. Could it be some perverted pervert or something like that? If that was the case, then he would have to be careful when he went out for a walk at night. If he was accidentally treated like this or that while walking, the consequences would be disastrous.
Seeing Ling Ling's worried expression, Xia You said a little embarrassedly: "It's possible that I'm worrying too much. Don't think too much. If someone really dares to do something bad to you, Ling Ling, I will definitely help you get rid of him!"
Speaking of this, a cold light flashed in Xia You's eyes.
"Then my safety is in your hands!"
Ling Ling smiled slightly. She didn't take Xia You's words to heart. After all, in her eyes, Xia You was just a weak and introverted girl. It was better for her to protect her.
"Let's go buy some groceries~"
"Hmm~"
······
"It's strange, how could the person disappear all of a sudden?"
Xia Li walked to where Ling Ling and Xia You were standing just now, and looked around in confusion. How could two living people disappear in the blink of an eye? After she looked around, she still didn't see the two people.
However, Xia Li did not give up just like that, because she knew what Ling Ling and Xia You were doing. Since they were going to buy vegetables, they must go to the vegetable market. Then she just needed to wait at the entrance of the vegetable market. She didn't believe that she would not be able to find them.
After figuring it out, Xia Li took a shortcut to the entrance of the vegetable market and found a relatively secluded place to start squatting.
Because it was close to noon, the sun was already high in the sky. After Xia Li reached out to wipe the sweat off her forehead, she began to wonder if Ling Ling and Xia You had entered from another way.
At this moment, two graceful figures appeared in Xia Li's field of vision. That's right, those two were Ling Ling and Xia You who had been missing for a while. Seeing their hands still holding together, Xia Li felt unhappy. Why did it turn out like this? It was obviously her who started it.
After seeing the two people walk into the vegetable market, Xia Li followed them in.
"Is there anything Xia You would like to eat?"
"I want to eat anything Ling Ling cooks."
Hearing Xia You's answer, Ling Ling smiled bitterly. Xia You was indeed Xia You. No matter when she was asked this question, she would always give the same answer.
However, Ling Ling was well prepared. After all, she had lived with Xia You for so long, and Xia You often came to her house for meals. She had more or less figured out Xia You's eating habits.
Not far from the two of them, Xia Li, who was secretly observing, saw the two of them chatting so happily and subconsciously clenched her fists. Sure enough, something was wrong. After the changes in Xia You's family, she rarely smiled. But today, she saw Sister Xia You showing a gentle smile more than once next to Sister Ling Ling.
This kind of smile was completely different from the way Sister Xia You usually smiled at her, and she also noticed that when buying vegetables, Sister Xia You's eyes never moved away from Sister Ling Ling even a little.
This made Xia Li feel a huge crisis. She always felt that the distance between her and Sister Xia You was getting farther and farther.
Xia Li felt that she couldn't let the two of them be alone together like this any longer. If she continued like this, she would be doomed!
Without thinking too much, Xia Li walked out from the corner and headed straight towards the two people.
"Sister Xia You, Sister Ling Ling, you are here~"
Hearing Xia Li's voice, the two people who were buying groceries looked up at the same time.
"Charlie, why are you here?"
"I... I just happened to go home for something, and I came by to see if you need any help." Xia Li said hesitantly. Although she had thought of this reason a long time ago, when she saw Sister Xia You standing in front of her, she couldn't help but feel nervous, and naturally she spoke hesitantly.
"I was just about to prepare ingredients for the barbecue tonight. I was originally worried that two people wouldn't be able to carry so many things. Now that Xia Li is here, that's great~"
"Leave it to me~"
······
"We are back~"
After buying dinner, Ling Ling and his group returned to the villa. As soon as they opened the door, they saw their daughter sitting on the sofa hugging a pillow and watching TV, while Zhou Xiaoxiao was quietly playing with her mobile phone beside them.
Hearing Ling Ling's voice, Ling Yu raised his head, looked at his mother with a look of despair and said, "Mom, I'm starving. Why did you take so long to buy the vegetables?"
"Huh? Didn't you just finish breakfast not long ago?"
"Mom, sometimes you won't feel hungry even if you don't eat, but sometimes you will feel hungry even if you eat a lot. I am the latter type now."
Listening to his daughter's explanation, why did Ling Ling feel like he had heard it somewhere before
"Then I'll do it now."
Ling Ling shrugged and walked directly into the kitchen with a bunch of ingredients.
