Qin Lu stopped and looked at her father in confusion. “Dad, what’s wrong?”
Mr. Qin pointed at the sofa opposite and asked her to sit down. He then asked, “I heard that you gave Xiao Shuang water in school today?”
Qin Lu’s heart tightened and her eyes revealed a hint of panic.
Usually, such a small change would not attract any attention. However, Mr. Qin, who had already become suspicious, kept staring at her. This change did not escape his eyes.
Mr. Qin frowned and felt his heart sink.
Mrs. Qin could not help but grumble, “Xiao Shuang went into shock when she took a shower last night. She’s afraid of water now, so why did you stop her just to give her water?”
Qin Lu hurriedly said, “Dad, Mom, I didn’t do it on purpose. When I picked up the water, I saw her and asked her if she wanted a drink. I just wanted to take care of her...”
Mr. Qin’s voice was stern. “Lulu, you said last time that you threw the note away in school because you care about her. This time, you’re saying that you gave her water because you care about her. Do you really love her?”
Qin Lu hurriedly said, “Of course, she is my twin sister! How many people in this world are so lucky to have a clone in this world?”
Mr. Qin stared at Qin Lu and sighed. “Fine. Since you love her, I think you should be willing to cooperate with what I’m going to say next.”
Qin Lu panicked. “What?”
Mr. Qin slowly said, “Your mother and I discussed it. Given Xiao Shuang’s current situation, it’s not suitable for her to stay in someone else’s house. She is so afraid of water that she might faint after taking a shower. We’d have to constantly trouble the Xue family.”
Qin Lu hurriedly said, “Yes, we should bring Xiao Shuang back.”
Father Qin continued, “But Xiao Shuang misunderstood you.”
Qin Lu hurriedly said, “Then I can go fetch her with you guys. I can apologize to her. When she comes back, I’m willing to give her everything.”
Mr. Qin shook his head. “That’s not what I meant.”
Qin Lu was stunned. “Then what do you mean?”
Mr. Qin sighed. “Xiao Shuang is sick right now and needs more care from her parents. She rejects you and doesn’t want us to mention you, much less see you. Moreover, you are in your senior year and are about to take the college entrance examination. Your studies are serious. Hence, your mother and I discussed and planned to buy a house outside your school for you to move in. Don’t worry, I will arrange for two aunties to take care of your daily needs, and we’ll visit you often.”
Qin Lu widened her eyes in disbelief. She hurriedly turned to look at her mother. “Mom, are you also chasing me away?”
Mrs. Qin hurriedly waved her hands. “I’m not chasing you away. Lulu, I know that you’re the most obedient child. Xiao Shuang is currently in a complicated situation. I believe that you’re willing to take the initiative to give in, right?”
Taking the initiative to give in...
Should she give up her parents?!
Qin Lu clenched her fists tightly. Looking at her parents, she knew that this matter had been settled. She had always been a shrewd person. No matter how unwilling or angry she was, she did not show it. Her eyes were red and she looked pitiful.
She nodded. “I am. But Mom, I will miss you.”
Mrs. Qin stood up and hugged her. “It’s fine, Lulu. I’ll visit you often.”
After saying that, she let go of Qin Lu and said, “Hurry up and go upstairs to do your homework. Mom will help you pack your luggage later. You might not necessarily stay away for long. When Xiao Shuang is better and is willing to listen to some things, I’ll have you move back in.”
Qin Lu nodded.
However, when she turned around and went upstairs, a vicious glint flashed across her eyes.
It was all Qin Shuang’s fault. She had stolen her parents’ love! She would definitely not let her off easily!
...
Xue family.
When Qin Shuang and Xue Xi returned to the Xue family home, Ye Li had already prepared dinner.
The two of them put down their school bags and helped their grandfather, Ye Lai, walk around the garden outside. Ye Lai was in a daze, but he rarely fell ill. As he walked, he patted Xue Xi’s hand and smiled. “Lili, is this your classmate? Come to our house more often in the future!”
Qin Shuang smiled and nodded.
She was trying her best to suppress the sadness in her heart. She felt that it was enough having these friends.
After shopping for a while, she returned home and realized that the food was already on the table.
After dinner, Qin Shuang went upstairs.
Afraid that something would happen to her again, Xue Xi had asked Qin Shuang to stay with her for the next few days. That night, Xue Xi was reading seriously while Qin Shuang was bored and distracted by her. Eventually, she even started reading.
At 11:30 AM, Xue Xi took a shower. Qin Shuang did not dare to touch the water, so Xue Xi took a towel for her to wipe her body with.
After she had moistened the towel, she realized that Qin Shuang had actually taken off her clothes and only had her underwear left.
Xue Xi was stunned.
Qin Shuang grinned. “Sister Xi, what are you looking at? How are you going to wipe yourself if you don’t take off your clothes?”
Xue Xi: “...”
She turned her eyes away. When Qin Shuang was done wiping, Xue Xi moved to change into her pajamas. As soon as she took off her clothes, Qin Shuang ran over and grabbed her chest. She smiled wretchedly. “Sister Xi, although my studies and brains are not as good as yours, I finally realized that I am slightly better than you at something! You are younger than me here!”
Xue Xi: “...”
She had been in the orphanage since she was young and had never joked with anyone like this. Although she was not used to it, she still found it... acceptable?
Qin Shuang continued, “But don’t be sad. Once you’ve let your boyfriend touch you in the future, you’ll grow up.”
Xue Xi: “!!!”
What kind of words are these?
After the two of them lay on the bed, Qin Shuang picked up her phone and sent a message to Cen Bai. After chatting for a while, she suddenly felt that something was amiss. She turned to look at Xue Xi, only to see her staring at her with wide eyes.
Qin Shuang was stunned. “Sister Xi, aren’t you going to chat with your boyfriend?”
Xue Xi: “...To talk about what?”
Qin Shuang: “To greet him good night!”
Xue Xi: “...Oh.”
Seeing that she still did not move, Qin Shuang put down her phone and said to her, “Sister Xi, let’s talk in private.”
Xue Xi: “Speak.”
“How far have you and your boyfriend progressed?”
Xue Xi: “?”
Thinking that she and Xiang Huai had yet to kiss this week, Xue Xi’s face turned a little warm. She turned around and said to Qin Shuang, “Sleep.”
“Sister Xi, tell me!”
“...”
The next day, the two of them got up and went to school.
As she had Qin Shuang with her, it was inconvenient for Xue Xi to go to the provision store for breakfast. Hence, Xue Xi discussed having lunch with Xiang Huai.
When they reached the school and walked toward the classroom, they suddenly felt that something was amiss.
The surrounding students were pointing at Qin Shuang with complicated expressions. As she looked at them, Xue Xi’s heart sank. Her instincts told her that something had happened again.
