Tang Xia opened the door and came in. When she looked up, she found Shiqi sitting at the edge of the dining table, staring at herself with wide round eyes.

She suddenly felt a little guilty, and quickly lowered her eyes.

"Xiao Xia is back?"

Coincidentally, my aunt came out of the kitchen with the dishes, wiped her hands on the apron casually, and greeted: "You must be hungry? Hurry up, come and eat." After she finished speaking, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of Tang Xia holding the The pink shell, slightly dazed.

"Xiao Xia, you are in a hurry to go home just to get this shell?" Auntie asked in surprise.

Shiqi didn't notice at first, but after hearing what her mother said, she followed her gaze.

As expected, Tang Xia's right hand palm had a beautiful pink color looming.

The shell wasn't big, but it wasn't small either. Tang Xia couldn't fully hold it with one hand, leaving the outline outside.

"Yes, yes..." The girl was a little embarrassed, and admitted it bravely.

"Wow, what a beautiful shell!" Shiqi yelled loudly, jumped down from her seat while shouting, and ran to Tang Xia excitedly, "Sister, can you show me?"

Tang Xia was taken aback.

The little girl raised her face, her eyes were almost overflowing with curiosity, even her cheeks were flushed with excitement, it was obvious that she liked this shell very much.

Tang Xia clenched her fists subconsciously, and the texture on the surface of the shell could almost be felt clearly.

She was actually unwilling, but she didn't know how to refuse.

Besides, my aunt is here now, if I say "no", it would be too shameful...

Tang Xia couldn't be so direct no matter what.

Her character, to be honest, many people have.

I would rather wrong myself than hurt others.

Can't or don't dare to "SayNO".

"Here," Tang Xia pursed her lips, and handed out the shell in her hand with a complex expression, "Then be careful—"

Before finishing speaking, Shiqi grabbed the shell, cheered, turned around and ran away bouncing around.

Tang Xia's arms were still in the air.

Didn't you say "take a look"? Why did you take it away...

"Okay, stop playing, eat first," my aunt said with a smile, "do your homework after eating, and play later."

Tang Xia sighed silently and helped her aunt arrange the dishes.

Uncle works overtime today, only the three of them have dinner together.

It was rare for Shiqi to be obedient and obedient. She put the shell on her left hand and touched it after two mouthfuls of food. She liked it very much.

"Xiao Xia, eat some spare ribs. You said before that you love the sweet and sour short ribs made by your aunt."

Biting her chopsticks, Tang Xia sneaked a look at Shiqi while grilling rice. Unexpectedly, as her aunt said, she picked up a spare rib and put it in her bowl.

Shiqi wasn't jealous this time, her attention was all on the little shell.

"Don't look, don't be distracted while eating," my aunt said seriously after finding out, "Eat the ribs."

Shiqi pouted, put down her chopsticks, and started to chew.

The sweet and sour sauce stained the little girl's hands, and even the mouth was a mess.

Tang Xia paused while eating, and suddenly felt ominous.

As a result, a truth was perfectly verified in the next second——

Girls have a super accurate sixth sense.

Shiqi didn't even wipe her hands after eating the ribs, she turned her head and touched the shells Han Yu gave her!

At that moment, Tang Xia's eyes were filled with anger.

She even turned her face on the spot.

And Tang Xia did exactly that, she put her chopsticks heavily on the bowl, and made a crisp "ding", her face darkened slightly.

Aunt and Shiqi were taken aback at the same time, looking at the girl.

I could feel that there was something wrong with the air pressure around Tang Xia.

Auntie thought for a while, then turned her eyes to the shell that Shiqi couldn't put it down, and probably guessed something.

The oil stains were smeared on the shells, which looked particularly dirty.

Just as my aunt was about to reprimand Shiqi, Tang Xia took the lead and said—

"Auntie, I'm full. I'm going to do my homework first." Her tone was very calm, and she couldn't hear any irritation. She just bit her lower lip from an angle that her aunt couldn't see, and took a deep breath silently.

After finishing speaking, Tang Xia got up and took the bowls and chopsticks into the kitchen, cleaned them briefly, and went back to the study.

"boom-"

The door was closed, and the aunt said helplessly to Shiqi: "Can you return the shells to my sister? Look, you are all dirty, and my sister is not very happy."

Shiqi muttered, "Isn't it good to just wipe it off?" She said, she took out a tissue and wiped it on the shell, but because the sweet and sour sauce was very thick and sticky, the tissue stuck to it again, and the whole shell It looks disgusting.

My aunt had a headache and scolded her with a straight face, "Give me the shell, I'll wash it for you, and you return it to my sister."

"I don't!" Shiqi was stubborn, she didn't eat at all, grabbed the shells and ran back to the bedroom, and locked the door.

The color of this shell is so pretty, she really likes it.

The little girl was lying on her back on the bed, unable to play enough.

In contrast, Tang Xia, who was separated by a wall, looked very pitiful.

She was really going to get angry just now, but after seeing her aunt's hesitant expression, she couldn't say anything. How else can you accuse Shiqi, scolding in front of the girl's mother? Tang Xia felt that she was not qualified.

But when she thought of Shiqi making the shell that Han Yu gave her like that, Tang Xia was about to explode.

What a brat!

She was restless, and the tip of the pen stayed on the first question on the test paper for a long time, but it didn't drop.

That kind of cherished thing is taken away by others, and the whole heart seems to be caught in uneasiness, which is really hard to calm down.

I'm afraid the shell will be destroyed.

This was the first gift Han Yu gave him!

Tang Xia gritted her teeth, struggled for an hour, finally couldn't take it anymore, dropped the pen with a "snap", opened the door and rushed out.

Shiqi's bedroom is just opposite the study, and it can be reached in two steps.

Coincidentally, when Tang Xia came out, she bumped into her aunt who was about to bring Shiqi and herself fruit after dinner.

As a result, she faltered for another second.

"What's wrong, Xiao Xia?" Aunt asked.

Tang Xia cheered herself up silently, and looked up to see Shiqi sitting at the desk in the bedroom, shaking her calves and humming a tune, looking very leisurely and happy. And it's very eye-catching that the girl put the pink shell on the desktop storage box, somehow feeling like it's her own?

Tang Xia was really angry.

She didn't answer her aunt, and went straight into Shiqi's bedroom.

"Shiqi." The girl tried her best not to mix any emotions in her tone.

"Huh?" Shiqi turned her head, not knowing why.

Tang Xia pointed to the shell neatly, only then saw that the dirt on the shell had been washed off at some point, and the original delicacy was restored.

Her depressed mood finally felt a little relaxed.

"This thing is mine, I have to take it away." When the girl said this, she reached out and took the shell into her hand tightly.

As soon as Shiqi realized it, she called out "Yeah", she caught a glimpse of her mother at the door from the corner of her eye, and immediately changed her aggrieved expression, as if she was about to shed tears immediately.

"Can't I play for a while?" She said pitifully.

"Okay, but you've played with it before," Tang Xia forced her heart to harden, not caring about her aunt's gaze behind her, and then continued, "I can lend you all other toys, or even give them to you, but this one, no Can."
