Chapter 4: Returning Home for Vacation

  "Mom, I'm back." Xīu Xuě said as she walked in with her luggage. Hmm, where is everyone? "Mom, lovely Mrs. Sītú, great virtuous wife and mother, Lǐ Liǎng... what's going on, why isn't anyone here? Didn't they know Miss would be returning today? Forget it."

  Cecilia Sakura Snow walked to her room with a helpless expression, carrying her luggage. At this time, she only heard a loud roar because she was being hugged and kissed by someone. Needless to say, it was only her childish old mom. "Mom, I've told you countless times, don't kiss my face again! Look, it's all your saliva. I'm not my dad, who likes your saliva so much."

  "Ah yo, old mom you murderer, what's that in your hand?" Xīu Xuě asked in surprise while rubbing her head which was hit by an unknown object.

  "Hmph, I won't tell you. Ah, yes, stinky girl, you dared to say you didn't like my saliva earlier. Do you know or not that when you were little, it was always me who chewed your food and then fed it to you mouth-to-mouth? You have no idea how delicious it tasted back then." Mrs. Situ said provocatively.

  "Stop, old mom, stop, it's a good thing that was when we were young, if it were now, the two of us would have gotten AIDS."

  As soon as Mrs. Situ heard this, she immediately wanted to beat Situ Xue again. Situ Xue had long understood Mrs. Situ's actions and had run far away early on.

  Only two beautiful women, one old and one young, were playing a game of cops and robbers in the living room. After running for a while, Mrs. Szeto was exhausted and couldn't run anymore, after all, she was an elderly person and couldn't outrun a younger person. Szeto Xue Xue also saw that her mother couldn't run anymore, so she pretended to be out of breath too, and called for a stop first, "Mom, I'm sorry, punish me as you see fit."

  "Hmph, you little stinker, still think you can play with me? You're still too tender." Mrs. Situ said, panting heavily. Just for begging for mercy, I'll punish you by making you help me wrap dumplings together.

  "What? You're wrapping dumplings...the thing you just picked up...don't tell me it's a rolling pin." Xīu Xuě said in surprise.

  "Yes! Hurry up and wash your hands to come help in the kitchen." Mrs. Szeto said as she walked towards the kitchen.

  Situ Xue was washing her hands while muttering to herself, "You can wrap dumplings, but if those dumplings are edible, the sun will rise in the west!" She occasionally glanced out the window, today's sun is rising from the east!

  As Ci Tu Yingxue said, Mrs. Ci's dumplings were really inedible because they were all overcooked and became a soup, so Li Shu had to make lunch again.

  In the evening, Xue's father, Fa Zheng, and her older brother, Ying Hao, returned home from work. Ying Hao is four years older than Xue and holds a master's degree from Tsinghua University in Beijing. After graduation, he took over his mother's Taoyuan Hotel.

  Taoyuan Hotel is the property of Wang Jiahe, Mrs. Situ's father. As Mrs. Situ is an only child, she took over the business and now it has been passed on to her son. Taoyuan Hotel has branches all over the country and its total assets rank second in the nation.

  "Brother, you're back. Come, I have something to tell you." Xīu Yuè said mysteriously.

  Situ Yinghao, who was about to return to his room to change clothes, had no choice but to go to his sister's room first. Situ Yuxue told her brother about the incident involving their mother, Wang Wenyu, at noon today, and both siblings laughed so hard they couldn't straighten their waists.

  "Hey big brother, don't you have any appointments today?" asked Sutu Xue Xue with a smile.

  "Yes, but I rejected it because my lovely baby is back." Si Tu Ying Hao said with a spoiled tone.

  "Hehe, still brother is good, in the future I will find a husband who is like brother and Xuan Ge."

  "Alright, let's go, let's go downstairs to eat, after eating we can chat again." Si Tu Ying Hao said as he pulled Si Tu Xue down the stairs.

  Xīu Xue looked at the delicious dishes made by Li Shifu, then said with deep meaning: "I really miss Madam Situ's wonton soup."

  Situ Yinghao almost spat out the soup he had just drunk, and at this time, he only heard Mrs. Situ shouting: "You stinky girl, you dare to say it, believe me or not, I'll hit you."

  "Believe me, Mrs. Situ, don't be angry, it's just a wonton soup, isn't it?" Xiu Xue said with a smile.

  "Xue, you!" Mrs. Situ was about to get up and hit Xue.

  Xīu Xue knew her mom's weakness was her dad, so she sought help from him, "Dad, save me! Look at Mom, the rich lady is about to turn into a shrew!"

  "My dear Shu Nu, Shu Nu." Xī Fǎ Zhèng said soothingly. Madam Xi's savagery was powerless against Xi Fǎ Zhèng's gentleness.

  "Hey, at such a big age and still so savage. Look how ladylike I am." said Si Tu Xue Xue. That woman really didn't blush, she was also quite savage.

  Situ Fa Zheng looked at his beloved daughter and then asked: "Baby, shouldn't you explain what's going on?"

  Xīu Yuxue glanced at everyone present, then mischievously said: "You'd better ask Mrs. Xīu, she knows more than I do." Then he lowered his head and continued eating.

  "What's going on, dear?" asked Mr. Szeto of Mrs. Szeto.

  Mrs. Sito blushed and said, "I'll tell you later." The matter was thus dropped. The whole family happily finished their meal. After dinner, it's usual for the family to chat in the living room, but today after dinner, Xiao Xue was directly called to the study by her father, Sito Fa Zheng.

  "Dad, what are you looking for me about? Do I need to go to the study?" Xue asked.

  Situ Fa Zheng's expression turned serious again, then said: "Sit down, remember I told you to take a look at this patient."

  "Ah, I remember."

  "In three days, you and your Uncle Liu will go to Hong Kong. Remember that outside is not like home, don't be reckless. Listen to your Uncle Liu in everything. Got it?"

  "What's three days later, can't it be later?" Xīu Yuè said very reluctantly.

  "Can't, as a doctor, you have to be like a brick, wherever it's needed, move there, put personal interests aside. Alright, don't be unhappy, when you come back, Dad will give you a few days off, how about going on another trip?"

  Situ Yuxue was immediately delighted, "Great, not going to Hong Kong is no big deal either, can also go for a stroll, just right haven't been there before." Worked while traveling.

  Xīu Xue was unhappy because she had a habit of taking a few days off during the winter and summer vacations to travel, and this time's plan was Tibet. The father and daughter chatted for a while, then Xiū Xue went back to her room to take a bath. After finishing her bath, she went to her brother Xiū Yīng Hào's room.

  "Brother, may I come in?" asked Sutu Yingxue standing at the door.

  Sze-to Yee-ho, who was reading a document, heard that it was his sister and said, "Come in."

  Xīu Xue saw her brother looking at documents, so she went to lie down on his big bed. Then, while rolling around on the bed, she asked Xiū Yīng Hào, "Brother, I'm sleeping with you today, don't say no."

  Xīng dropped the file in his hand and walked to the bed, sat down beside it, stroking Xīng Yūxuě's head with his hand, and said indulgently: "Alright, my baby can do whatever she wants, is there something on your mind?"

  Xī Tù Yīng Xuě lay her head on her brother's thigh, telling him about Shàng Guān Hóng Wěi chasing after her, making Xī Tù Yīng Hào burst into loud laughter.

  "You're still smiling, your sister has lost her love, and you're not comforting her young heart." Si Tu Xue said with grievance.

  "Who is my old sister? What can stump my genius baby? Is that right?"

  "What you said is right, but I feel uncomfortable in my heart. Big brother, do you think I'm a glass person? Why don't I like boys?"

  "Don't talk nonsense, you just haven't met a boy who makes your heart skip a beat."

  "What is it like to be heartbroken? Have you met a girl who makes your heart skip a beat?"

  This sentence made Situ Yinghao fall into deep thought, recalling the girl's smiling face. He couldn't help but smile, and just as Situ Xue was waiting for an answer, she saw her brother's silly expression and knew he must have met someone, so she teased: "Oh, brother, you're hooked, which family's girl is it?"

  Xīng Hào only then realized he was spacing out, and hastily said: "Go to sleep, stop talking nonsense." As he spoke, he got into bed and wrapped his arms around Xīng Xuě, lying down to sleep.

  Xiang Xue lay in her brother's arms and fell asleep soon after.

  Don't get me wrong, they are just siblings. The Su family has always had boys in the past generations, and this generation is no exception, except for Su Yingxue, who is the only girl, so everyone spoils her a lot.
