When she got home in the evening, Xie Momo happily took the paper and shared her joy with her family.
First, he found Xie Wenxiu, handed her the paper, and said proudly, "Mom, I got full marks in the exam this time."
Xie Momo waited expectantly for her mother's praise. Xie Wenxiu looked at the perfect score on the paper and felt that she owed Yinyin a big favor. She didn't know how to thank her for such a big help.
Therefore, Xie Momo did not receive praise. Instead, she watched her mother go out with a serious look on her face.
Xie Wenxiu actually went to Xie Ye. She trusted her eldest son in many matters at home and would ask him when she was in doubt.
…
As soon as Xie Ye came back from outside, he was pulled aside by Xie Wenxiu.
"Aye, I want to ask you something?"
"What's up?"
"I just read your sister's math paper. She got full marks this time. I know this is all due to Yin Yin. How should we thank her now."
Xie Ye was a little surprised, "Full score? Are you sure?"
He knew his sister's grades. Xie Momo's grades were good in other subjects, but she couldn't learn math at all.
He has tried to teach me before, but to no avail.
"Yes, absolutely true."
Xie Ye thought of the draft he saw that day and suddenly understood that she did have that ability.
“There are many ways to express gratitude, it depends on what you want.”
Xie Wenxiu knocked on her forehead, her face full of confusion, "I just saw that Yinyin is lacking in everything and uses the best quality. She may not like the things we bring out."
Xie Wenxiu told the truth, and Xie Ye fell silent after listening.
What she said to Xie Momo last time suddenly came to mind.
She didn't want the candy given by Xie Momo, and said that she liked spicy food, which was not available here.
Finally, she said that it would be fine as long as Xie Momo showed her her good results.
It seemed like she had no agenda.
Thinking of this, Xie Ye said, "Leave this matter to me."
"Okay, I'm going to go on a long trip these two days and go to your uncle's house. You can keep an eye on your younger brothers and sisters at home."
"I see."
Before Xie Wenxiu left, she still went to find Ye Zhiyin.
"Yinyin, I'm going on a long trip. If you have any problems, just ask Aye. He can usually solve it."
Ye Zhiyin nodded, "Okay."
…
After Xie Wenxiu left, they were the only ones left at home.
Xie Ye seemed to be used to it, cooking for them step by step every day. Sometimes he was busy and would bring food back from outside before he had time.
That night, after dinner, Xie Momo and Xie Chi went back to rest, while Ye Zhiyin took a towel to the bathroom to take a shower as usual.
To put it bluntly, the Xie family's bathroom is just a set-up bathtub, with a hot water bottle used to supply hot water.
This can only be used in summer. It is too cold in winter, so you can only go to the bathhouse to wash it.
Ye Zhiyin also came and heard from Xie Wenxiu that she had never used it before.
It was a little uncomfortable at first, but now I'm used to it after using it a few times.
I just took off my clothes and turned on the faucet, and I was about to wash my hair first.
Then I heard the door outside creaking open.
Ye Zhiyin paused. The switch of the bathhouse only had a small hook. She really didn't feel safe.
Someone's footsteps could be heard outside, and the sound didn't sound like someone at home.
Ye Zhiyin didn't dare to be careless and prepared to get dressed.
Maybe it was the sound of water running inside that attracted the attention of people outside. The person walked directly outside the bathing shed, his voice a little hoarse, "Wenxiu, is that you?"
The man's voice seemed to be for Xie Wenxiu.
Seeing that the person inside didn't answer, the person even started to try to turn on the switch of the bathhouse.
Ye Zhiyin, who had always been calm, was also frightened by the battle, so he put on his clothes.
"Wenxiu, why don't you say anything? I came here specifically to see you today."
While talking, he kept moving his hands, and he saw that the shed was about to collapse.
Ye Zhiyin felt that there was a middle-aged man outside, and he didn't know how much he had drunk before he acted like this.
She didn't bring her cell phone and was about to call for help when she heard a sound of yelling coming from outside.
"What are you doing?"
It was Xie Ye's voice.
The middle-aged man looked back at Xie Ye, seeming a little scared of him, "I... looking for someone."
"Looking for someone in the bathhouse?"
"Still not leaving? My house is the place where you become drunk and crazy?"
Xie Ye's tone was extremely cold, as if he was extremely angry.
The middle-aged man didn't dare to say anything, as if he was afraid of Xie Ye, and walked away in despair.
Ye Zhiyin inside breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, I understood why the original owner went crazy indirectly. It would be too difficult for the spoiled daughter to adapt to such an environment.
After packing up, Ye Zhiyin went out and saw Xie Ye standing not far away with his back to here, still holding a cigarette in his hand.
He stood there in black, almost blending into the night.
Ye Zhiyin walked up behind him and said calmly, "Thank you."
Xie Ye looked back at her. In the night, her skin was clean and fair, and her slender neck was hidden in the light pink dress. She looked particularly endearing. He couldn't imagine what would have happened to her if he hadn't appeared just now?
He suddenly felt a little sympathetic, "Did it scare you?"
Ye Zhiyin was not pretentious, "A little bit."
"You are honest."
Ye Zhiyin looked at him and said word by word, "Showing strength is used when there is no one around."
"Then what are you going to do if I'm not here just now?"
"Call for help first, but no one is coming. The faucet I have should be useful."
"Heh..." Xie Ye chuckled.
"Then it seems I shouldn't be nosy."
In the night, Ye Zhiyin was dazzled by his smile, but at the same time, his words could wake people up instantly.
"But you still took care of it, didn't you?"
Although the words were decisive, he did not really stand by and watch, which showed that he was not completely indifferent, but still had some good intentions, although maybe not much.
Xie Ye put his hands in his pockets and curled his lips lazily, "No matter how bad I am, Xie Ye, I can't let others run wild in my house."
Ye Zhiyin smiled and said nothing. After all, he was the male protagonist in the book. He had the halo of being a male protagonist, and he also had the arrogance and confidence.
"By the way, thank you for Momo's grades."
When he said this, Ye Zhiyin found that he looked at her with a somewhat complicated expression, as if he was investigating something.
Xie Momo had shown her the paper before, and that was the result she expected.
But she didn't expect that Xie Ye would take the initiative to thank her for her sister.
It seems that family is very important in his eyes.
Thinking about it, it is said in the book that the male protagonist values his younger brothers and sisters very much.
"It's just a little effort." She didn't intend to be greedy for credit.
Wait... She was willing to help before, but she instinctively felt that Momo was cute, so she helped anyway.
But now...an idea comes to my mind...
While she was thinking, she heard Xie Ye say again, "I owe you a favor. If you need it in the future, just ask."
