Her lips moved slightly, "Ou Jue..."
"Xia Xiyan." Ou Jue suddenly turned to look at her, his voice carrying a warning, "Try refusing again and see what happens."
"..." She had never seen soone so fierce while giving a gift.
Xiyan took out the silver model, "Then I’ll take this one."
Ou Jue’s expression softened slightly, "Go now. I’ll have soone get you a SIM card later."

p.m.
Xiyan hurried over to the Ou Family’s house.
Every evening, she had to prepare the next day’s als for Luoluo in advance.
Ou Jue wasn’t ho; she heard he had gone out for a social gathering.
Ou Xiaoluo was working on advanced math problems.
After finishing the cooking, Xiyan leaned over to take a look and realized that there were lots of questions she couldn’t even understand the titles of...
But Luoluo seed to be solving them effortlessly.
Sigh... She was really getting old.
Xiyan shifted her gaze away, placed the dishes on the dining table, and smiled warmly, "Luoluo, co eat!"
Luoluo was writing furiously, "Just one more question, almost done."
Five minutes later.
Xiyan rested her chin in her hands, watching Luoluo eat happily, and couldn’t help but ask, "Luoluo, does your brother often go to social gatherings?"
Though he was still a student, he already had the ability to independently shoulder the entire company’s responsibilities. She felt Ou Jue was really impressive.
With so grains of rice still clinging to the corner of his lips, Luoluo tilted his little head and thought for a mont, "It’s alright. Don’t worry, miss. Although social gatherings might inevitably involve eting so girls, my brother definitely won’t be interested in them!"
Xiyan’s face flushed slightly, "Oh, stop making things up! I didn’t an it like that."
"I’m telling the truth!" Luoluo said seriously, "Anyway, in all my years, I’ve never seen my brother have any female friends, let alone the hassle of having an ex-girlfriend. He’s absolutely safe and dependable!"
Luoluo’s tone sounded just like a sales pitch enthusiastically promoting his product...
Xiyan sighed helplessly and rubbed her forehead, "...What do you an by ’in all your years’? You’re only six, okay? Also, can you stop trying to act so mature? Just be a little kid, alright?"
"I’m stating facts, and besides, my brother is super amazing!" Luoluo said, while gnawing on a chicken wing, expressing his deep admiration for his brother.
"By the way, miss, aren’t you curious why Luoluo doesn’t have a dad or mom?"
Now this...
Of course, Xiyan was curious.
But out of basic politeness, she hadn’t brought it up—afraid of accidentally touching on sothing heartbreaking.
"Would you like to tell ?"
"Mm, my brother said Dad and Mom had gone to a place very, very far away and may never co back."
Xiyan was stunned. Wait... Did he an they’d gone to Heaven?
The little bundle of joy looked saddened for a mont, but then smiled with cheerful optimism, showing his clean, white teeth, "But Luoluo still has Grandma! Grandma spoils Luoluo so much!"
"Then, where’s Grandma?" Xiyan had been coming here for a while now but hadn’t seen Ou Jue or Luoluo’s grandmother.
Luoluo lowered his long eyelashes, put down the chicken wing, and sighed, "But Grandma, three months ago, also went to a place very, very far away..."
"!" Is this for real? Are Ou Jue and Luoluo’s lives a little too tragic?
Xiyan nearly started crying from what Luoluo said. Poor things, boohoo...
But in the very next second, Luoluo picked up the chicken wing again and started munching on it, mumbling indistinctly, "Grandma is now traveling in Australia! My brother said Grandma won’t be back anyti soon. I really miss Grandma~~"
