### Chapter 303: Sweet Dreams
Wanting to buy whatever they wanted was all well and good, but how could these four girls carry so much? So in the end, they didn’t buy much at all. They just strolled around, taking Xia Yu and Xia Ling out to see the world.
“Hmm… Ah-ha!”
Back in the car, Jiang Hanhang collapsed in Xia Ling’s arms for a good rest. After all, walking all this way really put the screws to her lazy girl persona. Looking at her little sister, Jiang Kekai had no idea what to say to her! Wasn’t she supposed to be the strong one? Who’s afraid of being tired and lazy?
Back home, it was a surprise that when night time finally came, Lin Jie and the boys from Peng City were still hanging around Xia’s place. What were they even doing here this late?
Seeing the four girls come back, Lin Jie immediately stood up and bowed deeply as a sign of respect: “Miss Jiang, thank you for your help this time. My dad said he wants to invite you to dinner as a thank you. How about it?”
“No interest.”
God knows if this is some sort of trap or a plot meeting—Jiang Kekai isn’t stupid. She has no intention of taking Xia Yu along to some dodgy situation. And as for food… does she even need it?
After turning down Lin Jie, Jiang Kekai headed to the room with Xia Yu to get some rest. The other house didn’t have winter quilts, so they’d better stay where they were.
Lin Jie saw Jiang Kekai’s rejection coming, so he didn’t feel disappointed. Instead, he turned and called after her shadow, “My dad says, anytime you need help from the Lin family, just come straight out and ask—we won’t refuse!”
“Just don’t touch Xia Yu,” Jiang Kekai shot back, slamming the door shut behind her.
Before leaving, Lin Jie clapped Xia Le on the shoulder: “Xia Le, thanks to you and Jiang Kekai this time, if there’s anything tough bothering you, let me know.”
“Sure thing, Jie,” Xia Le replied, looking worriedly at his brother.
As the four guys left, all the girls cuddled in their room. The living room suddenly felt emptier, making Xia Le a little sad, missing the times with brothers around.
Beep beep beep…
Xia Yu’s phone buzzed with a ping from her QQ account.
She knew hardly anyone; who would message her? Lying there tired after a long day, she reached over to grab her phone and read… a screenshot and a message from Xia Ling.
Message
‘Sis, one of our old classmates is graduating this year, and they’re having a reunion soon during winter break. Wanna go?’
Just then Jiang Kekai was sprawled beside Xia Yu, also reading the message.
Xia Yu looked uncertain, making Jiang Kekai curious: “Won’t you go? This is a rare chance, aren’t you happy?”
“Not really,” Xia Yu admitted.
Hearing this, Jiang Kekai suddenly remembered checking Xia Yu’s file, learning he tried jumping off a building last year due to mental health issues. It seemed he faced lots of bullying before.
This made Jiang Kekai unhappy, hugging Xia Yu: “We’ll go. I’ll go with you!”
“…That might be awkward?”
“No problem, sis can handle it. I don’t think they’ll dare kick us out.”
Snatching Xia Yu’s phone, Jiang Kekai typed: ‘We’re going.’
Beep beep beep…
‘Really going? Thought you weren’t.’
‘It’s Jiang Kekai, I’ll take Xia Yu along. Don’t worry.’
Over on another side, Xia Ling smiled seeing Jiang Kekai fiercely sticking up for Xia Yu. Maybe Xia Yu’s lucky to have someone like her.
‘Let’s go together. We’re still finalizing the venue and timing.’
‘I have an idea. Come to our villa. All costs covered.’
Jiang Kekai’s extravagance was normal now. Xia Ling sensed something fishy, but knowing Jiang Kekai won’t harm her, she was fine with it.
‘Sure, I’ll tell them.’
Putting down the phone, Jiang Kekai held Xia Yu close, resting her head on Xia Yu’s shoulder: “What do you say, Xia Yu? Wanna get revenge?”
But Xia Yu, turning over with kind eyes, said gently: “This might get messy. People might find out.”
Knowing Xia Yu’s sweet nature, Jiang Kekai brushed her head: “Take it easy. I didn’t say k*ll them, just upset their stomachs.”
“You mean it?”
“Do we really need to discuss again? When would I lie?”
Jiang Kekai then leaned in, their noses touching, nearly kissing. Xia Yu blushed at this intimate gesture and rolled away.
In Xia Yu’s mind, Jiang Kekai was always tricky. But she didn’t mind.
Ignoring Xia Yu’s rejection, Jiang Kekai tightened her hold, confident she’d win over Xia Yu someday.
They only got a bit of sleep before being woken by a knock.
“Xiao Ning, Xiao Yu, come eat!” It was Wang Wenjuan’s voice.
Right, they hadn’t eaten dinner yet. Seems they were too worn out today.
Jiang Kekai and Xia Yu changed out of their nightclothes into daily wear since it was winter and they couldn’t risk the cold.
At the dining table, as expected, it was already laid out with a feast. Once seated, they dug in happily.
During dinner, Wang Wenjuan announced: “Since there’s no work, I plan to go home early tomorrow for the holiday. So tonight, pack everything, kids.”
“Already?”
Xia Ling thought Jiang Hanhang was just talking nonsense, but it turned out her bad luck. Still, she missed home.
“Yeah, so everyone, pack any stuff you want to bring. Don’t forget.” She looked at Jiang Kekai feeding Xia Yu, “Xiao Ning, coming to play at the villa?”
“Of course.”
Jiang Kekai smiled. She had built a villa there. How could she not go back to check on it? Plus, she also wanted to attend the reunion with Xia Yu.
“Alright, let’s sleep early today, need to hit the road tomorrow.”
…
After dinner, Jiang Kekai and Xia Yu went straight back to pack for Xia Family Village. Unexpected news indeed!
Looking at Xia Yu still dressed in boy’s clothes and the suitcase, Jiang Kekai asked curiously: “Xiao Yu, this time back, will you change into woman’s clothes or keep the boy’s?”
“Probably… stay as a guy.”
Village folks and grandparents still didn’t know her true identity. Better to avoid any unwanted attention.
“Fine, I’ll bring the boys’ clothes back. If it gets cold, talk to me.”
Patting Xia Yu’s head, Jiang Kekai cherished this cute moment. Seeing Xia Yu happy made her joyful too.
On the other hand, Jiang Hanhang and Xia Ling had packed everything. Xia Yu’s hesitation wasn’t a problem for them, and they started wrestling.
A good night’s sleep.
For some reason, the thought of marrying Jiang Kekai kept popping up. Even though Xia Yu lacked courage, it made her look forward to it more and more, smiling idiotically in her dreams.
Jiang Kekai slept holding Xia Yu tight. Noticing Xia Yu’s smile in her sleep, she wondered what sweet dream she must’ve had. Regardless, seeing her happy was enough.
