Chapter 117: Chapter 117: Full Stomach

"Don’t worry, they can eat that," Xia Yue said with a smile.

"Why are you two only coming back now? Where are the others?" Xia Yu asked, turning to Xia Xin and Xia Feng.

"We heard they’re going to see the makeup artist. We’ve already collected everything we need, and we’ll get styled tomorrow," Xia Xin explained.

"I think Big Brother must be waiting until Minmin finishes kindergarten before coming," Xia Feng said.

Xia Yu nodded, and Xia Xi ate quietly off to the side. Her relationship with her siblings was admittedly lukewarm.

"How are your gifts coming along?" Xia Feng whispered, glancing at them.

"Well, why don’t you tell us what your gift is first!" Xia Yue proposed, turning to Xia Feng.

"I’m just a student. How could I give something lavish? It’s something my old man prepared for me," Xia Feng said, throwing up his hands.

"I’ve got a piece of agarwood; I managed to buy it with some money my mom gave me," revealed Xia Xin.

"What about you?" Xia Feng asked, turning to Xia Yu, Xia Xi, and Xia Yue.

"A piece of jade" said Xia Xi simply.

"A pot of flowers" Xia Yue echoed Xia Xi’s brevity.

"A painting" added Xia Yu instantly.

Xia Xin and Xia Feng looked at them perplexed: "????"

"Come on, speak clearly. We’re siblings after all!" Xia Xin insisted.

"It’s just a painting from the Song Dynasty," Xia Yu clarified with a laugh.

"I’m really giving a pot of flowers, and it cost me up to 10,000 yuan at most," Xia Yue added hastily.

"I’m giving a jade pendant that I carved myself. It’s said to ward off evil and bring luck. I didn’t buy the material; it was a gift to me," said Xia Xi.

"What’s up with you, Xia Yue? Flowers? What kind of flowers? Don’t bring an inexpensive common flower. You know that many people are waiting to make fun of you tomorrow," Xia Xin warned.

"Well, yes, Yue sister, why are you bringing just a pot of flowers? Second Brother, didn’t you help her prepare the gift?" Xia Feng added anxiously.

"Don’t worry. Yueyue’s gift may be even more well received by our grandfather than ours. You’ll get it once you see it," Xia Yu intervened, seeing their worried expressions.

"Really?" Xia Xin still seemed unsure.

"Really," Xia Yu nodded.

At that moment, a servant brought over two pots and placed them in front of Xia Xin and Xia Feng.

"Young masters, young miss, is there anything else you need?" asked the servant.

"No, that’s it. You can go now," Xia Yu replied, shaking his head.

"Yes." Acknowledging that none of the other young masters or misses had anything to say, the servant nodded and left the dining hall.

"Mm, hot pot is so good," Xia Xin commented, taking a bite and nodding approvingly.

The five siblings ate and chatted with each other. Xia Yu used this opportunity to involve Xia Xi in their conversation, hoping to aid her integration into the group.

They only finished eating by one-thirty.

"Right, now that we’re full, let’s take a rest, freshen up and change our clothes. After two o’clock, we’ll go and see our grandparents," Xia Yu announced, addressing the four of them.

"Okay." The four siblings nodded.

The five of them took a leisurely walk back to their rooms, with Xi and the Spiritual Cat leading the way.

"Yue sister, you have two cats that ate so much but are perfectly fine. That’s really strange. I remember that cats can’t eat those things," Xia Feng said, staring at the black and white cats in front of him with wide curious eyes.

"They’re not ordinary cats, they’re very smart and understand everything we say," Xia Yue replied with a smile.
