Judging from the serious expression on her face, the situation is quite unfavorable.

Xia Zhi didn’t know much about shogi, but just from the number of chess pieces on both sides, he could tell that Kong Yinzi was at a clear disadvantage at the moment.

Didn’t I tell you last time that you should be more considerate of others?

Xia Zhi complained in his heart, and then he heard the sound of footsteps on the stairs behind him. He turned around and found that it was Ai Lu Ke running down from upstairs.

“Meow~”

However, at this moment, there was also a sound coming from the side. The kitten ran over from a distance, used the sofa as a springboard and jumped into the boy’s arms very nimbly, then lay down comfortably.

It seems that Hughie’s fitness plan is very effective. Xia Zhi thought to himself, stroking the soft fur of the kitten in his arms.

On the other side, looking at the kitten occupying the boy’s arms, Eluke puffed up his cheeks in dissatisfaction.

Why are you jealous of a cat?

Xia Zhi thought about it, picked up the kitten and put it in her arms, then as the girl exclaimed softly, he picked her up and put her in his arms, then sat down on the sofa.

Ailuko blinked his eyes, lowered his head and gently stroked the kitten’s head twice, as if he had forgiven it.

Seeing the situation here, Hubie seemed to be a little moved, but unfortunately she was a little busy.

She lowered her head and looked at the chess board in front of her with a hesitant expression.

The girl raised her head and looked at Xia Zhi inquiringly, but Xia Zhi rejected her with his eyes.

The person is already physically injured, so why not stop destroying his or her spirit for the time being?

What if I lose my self-confidence in the future after being defeated so quickly by a girl who is “younger” than me? Xia Zhi thought.

Hubie could only give up with regret.

On the other side, because Xia Zhi had not come back yet and there was still some time before dinner, Xia Zhi opened some snacks to fill his stomach and treated it as afternoon tea.

He thought to himself, handed an unwrapped chocolate bar to the girl in his arms, and reminded her:

“You can’t feed this to the kitten.”

“Got it.” Eluke agreed and took a small bite of the chocolate bar, feeling the sweet taste spreading in his mouth. He smiled happily and his two little feet swayed gently with his happy mood.

It looks like it has returned to normal.

Xia Zhi rubbed her head and indicated that she didn’t want to eat it.

Looking at the Star God Girl holding a chocolate bar in her arms, eating it in small bites with puffy cheeks, Xia Zhi thought for a moment and asked curiously:

“So, what happened to you this morning?”

Ai Luke paused for a moment after hearing this, and then pretended to be calm and replied: “It’s just that there are some things I haven’t figured out…”

“Does Ailu Ke actually have his own worries?” Xia Zhi asked in surprise.

Why can’t I just be free from worry?

Eluke puffed up his cheeks, raised his head and looked at him with dissatisfaction.

Xia Zhi chuckled, rubbed her head comfortingly, and continued to ask: “So what about now? Is everything okay?”

“Yeah.” Eluke nodded: “Hubby enlightened me.”

Xia Zhi heard this and looked at Hughie.

Hubie winked at him with a smug look on his face.

I didn’t expect that Hubie has the potential to be a psychologist… He didn’t even know what his own emotions were before.

Uh… when I think about it this way, it always seems a little unreliable?

Will not have any problems?

Xia Zhi thought worriedly and lowered his head.

Sitting in his arms, Aluke’s cheeks were a little red.

Do you feel like you’re sticking to yourself more?

It must be an illusion. She used to be very clingy to me.

Feeling the boy’s gaze, Eluke thought for a moment, picked up the half-eaten chocolate bar, and handed it to the boy.

Xia Zhi didn’t care, and took a bite as usual, and touched her head as a thank you.

Ailuko blushed as he took the chocolate bar back. He lowered his head and saw the kitten in his arms stretching out its claws, as if trying to reach the chocolate bar in his hand.

“No.”

She stretched out a white and tender finger and pressed the kitten’s head back.

“You can’t eat this.”

Because I want to enjoy it alone.

Ai Luke thought to himself, and couldn’t help but recall what happened in the morning.

Hubie said that was a normal thing.

It’s just a way of expressing your love, everyone does that.

I really like the summer solstice, so it’s normal to do that kind of thing, right?

Even so, if she were to do that in front of Xia Zhi, she would still feel very shy.

So, it’s okay as long as I do it secretly, right?

The girl blushed slightly, thinking this in her heart, and took another bite of the chocolate bar in her hand.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but it feels sweeter than before…

I really like this picture, so I hope you guys like it too.

Chapter 849 Summer Solstice: You can’t rely on your brother for everything, right?

…lost again.

Looking at the endgame on the chessboard, Kong Yinzi bit her lip, and finally, as if deflated, she put down the hand that had picked up the chess piece.

Seeing this, Hubie blinked, and after whispering “thank you for your advice” to the girl, he imitated what he saw on TV, then left the sofa and ran to Xia Zhi impatiently.

I should be the one receiving the instruction, right?

Kong Yinzi thought to herself, her eyes falling on the cute girl opposite her who was raising her head to enjoy the boy’s touch, and who was smiling happily after being fed.

After these few games, she was basically able to confirm that her failure that day was not a mistake or coincidence, but that her strength was indeed not as good as that of the girl named Hubie.

If Xia Zhi was just talented, then this girl already had the strength to easily defeat him.

There was almost no need to think, every step was taken in the right place, and there would be absolutely no flaws. Even if he tried his best, there was no possibility of winning…

And according to her own statement, she has only been learning shogi for a few days.

This girl, is she really human?

Kong Yinzi couldn’t help but feel suspicious.

At this moment, she suddenly felt a shadow in front of her.

She looked up in confusion, only to see the boy approach her and hand her a small bag of snacks.

“Want to eat?”

“…What is this?” Kong Yinzi looked puzzled.

“These are cookies I made myself.” Xia Zhi replied.

“…”

You opened it yourself, right?

“Sorry, I don’t want to eat too much before dinner.” She resisted the urge to complain and declined.

“It’s okay, Xia Zhi won’t know.” Xia Zhi comforted her.

It’s not like I’m afraid of being discovered.

Empty Silver thought

and……

Her eyes passed the boy and fell on the black-haired girl standing at the door of the living room, who seemed to have just returned home.

Even if you want to avoid being known, it’s impossible.

Xia Zhi: …

What should I do if I see my brother flirting with my best friend as soon as I get home?

“Brother!” she shouted with a little annoyance.

Xia Zhi paused for a moment, turned his head to look at her, tilted his head and said: “Huh? Isn’t this Xia Zhi? Thank you for your hard work, welcome back~”

There’s no point pretending nothing happened!

Xia Zhi thought to herself and complained, “Yin Zi is injured, so don’t feed her these unhealthy snacks!”

Does this mean that as long as it is a healthy snack, you can feed it whatever you want?

Xia Zhi complained, and after thinking about it, he decided to defend the snacks:

“I think because I’m injured, I need some carbs to adjust my mood.”

“Then just eat more later.” Xia Zhi replied.

Xiazhi personally thinks that the two are not equivalent… I have never seen anyone eat rice as a snack?

Unfortunately, Xia Zhi didn’t think so, so Xia Zhi had no choice but to give up.

“I’m sorry that I didn’t fight for your right to have snacks freely.” He looked at the girl and said regretfully.

“…”

Thank you for your concern, but Kong Yinzi feels that she does not need that kind of rights.

“Huh? Really?”

Xia Zhi tilted his head slightly and said in confusion: “Just now I saw you looking at Hubie with some envy, I thought you wanted to eat snacks too.”

Kong Yinzi was slightly stunned when he heard this.

Was I envious just now…?

Obviously, she knew that she was not greedy or envious of the girl for having snacks, otherwise, she would not have so decisively rejected the cookies handed to her by the boy.

So…what am I envious of?

Recalling the scene just now, a trace of confusion appeared in her eyes.

While eating, Kong Yinzi kept thinking about this question, looking absent-minded.

Seeing this, Xia Zhi couldn’t help but feel a little worried.

She gently pulled the clothes of the boy next to her and asked in a low voice:

“Brother, what happened to Yin Zi?”

“Who knows?”

Xia Zhi picked up the chicken leg that Ailu Ke had put into his bowl and took a bite, then answered nonchalantly.

It’s normal that girls’ thoughts are always harder to guess. He still hasn’t figured out why Kato Megumi was angry today.

“Did you say anything to her in the living room?” Xia Zhi asked doubtfully.

“What can I say to her?”

I am famous for being very tactful in my words!

Xia Zhi thought to himself with dissatisfaction.

Then, he thought about it carefully again and realized that he really didn’t say anything strange this time.

“Maybe she’s angry because you didn’t let her eat snacks?” he came to this conclusion.
