Li Yuan pushed the door open and walked in, only to see Li Zixia looking a bit flustered. Thinking of the "gossip" he had overheard outside, he glared and said, "Li Zixia, what were you muttering about? Saying bad things about me behind my back? Getting bold, are you? Tattling on me to Zhijin, is that it?"
Li Zixia made a face at Li Yuan and hid behind Xia Zhijin, whining pitifully, "Zhijin, you have to rein in my brother! He's being mean to me again. He's done nothing but bully me since we were kids."
Xia Zhijin stifled a shy laugh. Watching Li Yuan and Li Zixia bicker felt very warm and comforting. She quietly asked, "You haven't eaten yet, have you? The food is ready."
Li Yuan asked in confusion, "You two haven't eaten yet? You were waiting specifically for me?"
