The next morning.
Xia Ling (Young) had just woken up and looked at the family members gathered around her. She thought to herself: I wonder how I managed to time-travel here.
Glancing over at Xia Yu (Young), she suddenly thought of the lonely and heartbreaking Xia Yu, and resolved: Xia Yu, I will keep you company. I won't let you be alone, and I won't let you ever feel lonely.
Little Xia Yu reached out his tiny hand and carefully poked the cheeks of Xia Ling (Young) and Xia Mei. So soft!
Xia Ling (Young) grabbed the hand reaching toward her and smiled at Xia Yu. Everyone watched as Xia Ling (Young) held Xia Yu's finger, making cute little cooing noises.
Xiong Ge looked at Xia Yu and said, "Xia Yu, look, your little sister is playing with you! Make sure you take good care of your sister from now on, okay?"
Little Xia Yu nodded vigorously and said, "Xiong Ge, I will." Meanwhile, one-year-old Xian Tian was playing with Grandpa.
Three months flew by. Mei Mei and Ling Ling were taken to the Tomb Hospital to check whether they had any latent ability potential. The results showed that both Xia Mei and Xia Ling (Young) possessed latent ability potential.
However, because they were born prematurely, their detected ability potential was not very stable.
At this, Xiong Ge felt a bit worried. Ever since she got together with Ye Siren, she had already decided to quit the Ability World, leaving only Grandpa frequently active in the Ability World taking on missions.
Back at the Xia Family home...
"Where are my two little golden granddaughters?" Just as Xiong Ge walked through the door carrying her, Grandpa's voice rang out. "Dad, where are you looking? They're not under the table, they're right here."
Grandpa had a sudden realization. "Oh, right here." (Xia Liuhai, also known as Xia-Down-Stairs, suffered from senile dementia, was obsessed with bubble tea and pizza, and was the former head of the Hsialandew Family.)
"Ah..." Listening to the exchange between Xiong Ge and Grandpa, she boredly opened her mouth. At that moment, Xia Yu and Xian Tian both ran over to look at their little sisters. Xia Yu thought to himself:
This is my little sister. So cute, much cuter than Xian Tian. I'll definitely protect my two little sisters.
"Little Sister is so adorable!" Xian Tian said happily. She stared wide-eyed at Xia Yu and Xian Tian, thinking: Xia Yu and Xian Tian were so cute when they were little!
Xia Ling's days were spent doing nothing but eating and sleeping.
Although she had wondered if she might have a golden finger or some kind of system like the ones in novels, she had no such luck whatsoever.
Reflecting on *The X-Family* she had finished watching earlier, she found that her memory of the plot was a bit fuzzy, and she only remembered the general story line. Oh well, no use dwelling on it—since she was already here, she might as well make the best of it.
Five years later, Xia Yu was eight, Xian Tian was six, and Xia Mei and Xia Ling (Young) were both five. Xia Yu was in the second grade, Xian Tian was in the first grade, and Xia Mei and Xia Ling (Young) were in the top class of kindergarten. (At the elementary school.)
Xia Ling (Young) was boredly reading a comic book borrowed from the bookstore, occasionally glancing at Xia Mei, who was having a blast playing with her classmates. Bored out of her mind in kindergarten, Xia Ling (Young) quietly read her comic by herself.
Suddenly, a panicked voice cried out, "This is bad, Sister Ling!" Ren Chenwen rushed hurriedly into the classroom.
(Ren Chenwen's full name: Ren Ren Wan Nong Chenwen.)
Ren Chenwen, Xian Tian, Xia Mei, and Xia Ling (Young) were all good friends who frequently played together. Ren Chenwen also had two lackeys, Xiami and Frog Brother.
"Ren Chenwen, why are you yelling so loud? Asking for a beating, are you?" Hearing this, Ren Chenwen trembled in fright and stammered, "Sister Ling, it really is a huge emergency! Someone's about to beat up Brother Yu right now."
Hearing that someone actually dared to bully her older brother, she put down her comic book and pulled a whip (made of thick rope) out of her schoolbag—one she had sneaked from home.
She glanced at Xia Mei, who was still having the time of her life playing, and before the teacher arrived, Xia Ling (Young) and Ren Chenwen snuck off.
The kindergarten and elementary sections were very close, separated only by a fence. This was no obstacle for Xia Ling (Young), whose mind was that of an adult, and she crossed over with ease.
She headed to the elementary section and found the two individuals in question. "I heard you guys are pretty tough? Who dares to bully my big brother? Come on, let's step outside and see what you've got."
Before long, Xia Ling (Young) looked down at the kids crying on the ground and said, "Behave yourselves from now on. If I ever hear of you bullying my big brother or anyone else again, say goodbye to your bottoms."
Returning to the classroom and seeing that the teacher was about to arrive, she hurried back to her seat and sat down. After enduring another boring afternoon, dismissal time finally arrived.
