Compared to her past, Xia Rou felt that she had improved. At least, looking from the perspective of controlling her emotions, she was much better at it now.

She couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at Cao Yang.

Cao Yang was curious: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." She chuckled.

To be able to sit in front of big brother and smile leisurely, that was something that she didn't even dare to imagine before her death.

Be satisfied, Xia Rou. Translated by The Novelst

Don't make him angry again, don't cause trouble for him this time. If you listen to his words, he will definitely help you life a peaceful life.

Don't be greedy about those things that don't belong to you anymore. Just like what he said in the past, all those complicated people and things she... couldn't handle it.

Look, wasn't her ending the best proof for her already?

Xia Rou let out a long sigh, then took another glance at Cao Yang. While staring at his handsome profile, she brutally downed a spoonful of rice.

Cao Yang raised his eyebrow.

Just now she was spacing out while eating her rice, then she teared up. As he thought she was going to cry, in the end she raised her eyes and stared at him before laughing by herself.

The laugh came out of nowhere, it was as if his existence could cheer her up.

Although it was baffling... at least it was better than crying at the dining table. A lady would of course look prettier when she smiled.

This little girl looked very elegant when she smiled with her lips closed and the corner of her mouth tilted upwards. It reminded him of a milky white cat he saw at someone else's house.

Snowy white, soft, and obedient.

Cao Yang felt that Xia Rou's existence wasn't a bother, but was also super troublesome.

Cao Yang, as a man, clearly knew how adult women thought, and could easily handle them.

However, toward an adolescent like Xia Rou, he couldn't take her as an adult woman, nor could he use a man's perspective to look at her. As an elder of the opposite sex, he really couldn't understand what she was thinking inside.

A 15-year-old girl's worldview was probably in a different dimension to a 29-year-old man's.

Nevermind, who cared about what she was thinking as long as she was happy. That would be enough.

Looking at the smile on this pretty lady, he suddenly felt like his meal was much tastier.

He hadn't really thought of it, but ever since Xia Rou's arrival to the house, he realized that before the house had always been... a little too cold.

"Brother Cao Yang." Xia Rou suddenly spoke up. "When will the renovation be over?"

"Probably before school starts you can move in. After the renovation, you should let it rest for a bit, it's not good to move in immediately," Cao Yang replied. "Why?"

Xia Rou took some vegetables from a dish, and said: "Yesterday Brother Cao Xing had a huge plush rabbit delivered to me, it's super duper big. My room has no more space already."

Cao Yang: "..."

Cao Yang also felt helpless. "You noticed? He's had this hobby since he was young. Don't tell my father, if he knows Cao Xing will get beaten up again."
