He took the girl’s hand again and led her out of the house amid her puzzled eyes.

As soon as I came outside, I could feel the temperature was a little colder than inside.

Xia Zhi helped the girl tighten her collar and asked her in a low voice if she felt cold.

Rokuko shook his head.

The elf’s physique allowed her to survive even in the cold that ordinary humans could not endure. However, the reason why she didn’t feel cold at the moment was not because of this.

She quietly lowered her head and sniffed the clothes with her little nose, and could smell a familiar scent coming from them.

The girl showed a satisfied expression and pulled her thick coat slightly to wrap herself more tightly.

The coat originally belonged to Xia Zhi, but it was still a little too big for her. The hem, which originally only reached her waist, now almost covered the girl’s thighs.

However, there is nothing we can do about it… If I change into someone else’s clothes, she probably won’t accept it, right?

Xia Zhi thought about it and took her out of the apartment and to the street outside.

Unlike the bustling daytime, the city is more peaceful at night.

The few street lamps dimly illuminated the street. The shadows under my feet kept changing positions with the light sources. The shadows at the edges gradually faded, and then became solid again as the next street lamp approached.

Holding the hand of the boy beside him tightly, Rokuko looked at the scenery curiously.

The streets that were busy with traffic during the day were now left with only the traffic lights flashing at the intersections, and the sound of their footsteps could be clearly heard on the empty streets.

For a moment, Rokuko felt as if they were the only two people left in the world.

…Such a world seems pretty good?

She thought about it in her heart, hesitated for a moment, raised her head and asked:

“Is this also a date?”

“Yes.”

Xia Zhi gave an affirmative answer, “How does it feel compared to the daytime?”

“It’s very novel.”

After thinking about it, Rokuko gave this answer, “But, I like it very much just the same.”

Rather, as long as the boy is around, she will be very happy and enjoy the date no matter where she goes, right?

“That’s not all.” Xia Zhi shook his head and said.

Having had relevant experience, he knew very well that the experience of a night date is more than just this.

Seeing that there was still plenty of time left, Xia Zhi took her back to the places they had visited during their date in the daytime.

Of course, the shopping malls and cinemas are closed, but the snack streets and late-night restaurants on the roadside are still brightly lit, and the parks are still open, giving people a different feeling under the night lights.

It is obviously the same city, but just because of the different time, it presents a completely different face to the girl.

Holding a big bag of snacks, walking on the tourist trail along the coast, feeling the cool sea breeze blowing in his face, Rokuko raised his head and looked at the sea in the distance that was slightly rippling under the moonlight, with an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes.

…I accidentally bought too much

Glancing at the snacks in the girl’s arms, Xia Zhi showed a hesitant expression on his face.

Is it bad to eat so much late at night?

……never mind.

With an elf’s body, I shouldn’t have to worry about these little things, right?

He shook his head, also looked up at the sea in the distance, and suddenly said:

“do you know?”

“In the past, I was also alone at the beginning, but then, somehow, I was suddenly brought to a strange family.”

Rokuko came back to his senses. In her puzzled eyes, the boy continued

“But unlike you, the only family member at home at that time didn’t like me very much…at least that’s what I thought at the time.”

Hearing the boy’s soft words, Rokuko was slightly stunned.

Summer solstice… like me?

“However, what I want to talk about is not actually myself.” Without paying attention to the girl’s confused expression, Xia Zhi continued.

After all, my mind was mature enough at that time, and I would not feel confused and uneasy because I suddenly came to an unfamiliar family environment and faced an unfamiliar family member who did not like me… At most, I just felt a little troubled.

But Xia Zhi is different.

She was just an ordinary child at that time.

“My sister was just like you at the beginning, worried that I would suddenly disappear one day.” Xia Zhi continued.

There is no blood connection, so I am afraid to leave. Because we were strangers before we met, I believe that I am definitely not the most important person to the other party. The inner anxiety is reflected in the actions, that is, I dare not get too close to myself, and I am unwilling to reveal my inner feelings, but I am particularly concerned about my every move in private.

…I didn’t realize it at the time and actually thought she didn’t like me.

This is in stark contrast to Rokuko who directly expresses his feelings.

·· ···Request flowers· ·······

“But later on, she stopped worrying so much.”

“Why?” Rokuko couldn’t help but ask curiously.

“Because she gradually understood that I would never leave her.”

Xia Zhi shook his head gently, looking at the silvery white moonlight on the distant sea, which turned into ripples with the waves.

“I will never forget you no matter what, and I will never hate you no matter what I do. Even if we are far apart, our hearts will be connected, so I will never leave you…”

“…Because we are already such ‘relatives’.” He continued to answer softly.

Although at the beginning it was a relationship regulated by law, there was no blood connection.

But blood relationship is only an excuse. What really maintains the relationship between relatives is never the less than 0.1% genetic similarity, but a special kind of emotion that accumulates little by little during daily interactions, which is different from other emotions but does not need to be proved by other things.

Therefore, since they are all excuses, whether it is a blood relationship or a legal relationship, Xia Zhi thinks they are all the same.

…….. ……. …

The key point is that I really regard Xia Zhi as my sister, and that is enough.

…Although this family relationship deteriorated later.

Summer solstice complains in my heart

Or maybe, from Xia Zhi’s perspective, it wasn’t actually considered “deterioration”?

“…”

On the other hand, looking at the gentle expression on the boy’s face when he talked about his sister…there was no doubt that it was an expression he would only show when mentioning someone he truly loved.

At this moment, Liu Ku seemed to see his own image in him.

He and I are… the same, she thought to herself.

This should have been a very happy thing, but when she thought that the important relative the boy was talking about was a girl who had nothing to do with her, she felt very uncomfortable.

“Xia Zhi… do you love your family?” She continued to ask, suppressing her inner emotions.

“Of course I love you.” Xia Zhi answered as a matter of course.

After getting his answer, even stronger discomfort and uneasiness surged into my heart again.

Family members should cherish each other the most and love each other the most… This should be what she has always been pursuing.

But why? She still felt so bad.

Unconsciously taking two steps back, Liu Kui covered his chest and shook his head blankly: “I still can’t understand.”

Hearing this, Xia Zhi turned around and looked at the blonde girl next to him: “It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. You will have enough time to understand it all.”

After thinking for a moment, he continued, “Let’s make another agreement.”

In the confused look of Rokuko, he extended his hand to the girl, “I will give you enough time to understand all this. Before that…promise me that you will not do such a thing again, okay?”

“…”

Seeing the boy’s hand stretched out in front of him, Rokuko was filled with confusion.

Can you really understand yourself?

“Don’t worry, I’ll be waiting for you.”

Xia Zhi shook his head, comforting the girl’s confused and uneasy mood, looking into her golden eyes and softly said: “Before that, I will always be by your side…”

So

“…Give me the answer at the end.”

……Several.

Chapter 1176 Lily: How can you carry someone to bed just two days after knowing each other?

The night date lasted until very late. It was a rare opportunity to wander around in the early hours of the morning, and Xiazhi saved a lot of beautiful photos on his phone.

By the time the two returned home, the sky outside was already dawning.

Although she was not physically tired, Rokuko’s mind was already exhausted after thinking all night. Facing the quiet and warm room and the soft and comfortable bed, she finally chose not to think too much for the time being, and lay back in Xia Zhi’s arms, yawned, shrank into his arms, and slowly closed her eyes.

“…So, what are you going to do?”

Gently stroking the girl’s soft long hair, just when Xia Zhi was about to fall asleep, a familiar voice from the bottom of his heart interrupted his sleepiness.

“Are you still awake?”

Xia Zhi rubbed his eyes and asked in his heart.

“Elves don’t need to sleep, ‘eighty-seven-three’.” said the girl.

“is it?”

Xia Zhi lowered his head and looked at the blonde girl who was sleeping soundly on top of him.

…Then what’s going on with this thing in my arms?

Tokisaki Kurumi didn’t care about his reaction, and continued the previous topic and asked: “You let her think about those questions, what are you going to do?”

“Miss Kuang San, when did you realize that you were capable of liking and loving others?” Xia Zhi did not answer immediately, but asked while gently stroking the hair on the back of the girl in his arms.

The girl uttered a soft “Ah”, and asked with interest: “Mr. Xia Zhi, are you interested in my love history?”

“I wouldn’t mind if you’re willing to share.”

It was a pity that the boy didn’t fall for it, but she didn’t take it too seriously. After hearing his question, she thought about it for a moment.

Like other elves, she was just an ordinary girl before she became an elf. Of course, she has her own favorite things.

But if you ask her when she started to realize that she could like someone else…

“…I don’t know.” She replied.

Rather, this question was very strange and she had never thought about it before.

Isn’t it natural to like something or someone? Why do we ask questions like “When did you realize that you were able to like something?”

“That’s for normal people… Children who are accompanied by their parents and relatives have been loved since they can remember, and they have unconsciously learned how to love others.”

Xia Zhi lowered his head, looked at the petite girl sleeping in his arms, and whispered in his heart

“But she is different…”

I have been alone since I was old enough to understand. I have never felt love or being loved. Naturally, I don’t know how to love in the right way.

So in the end

“She’s just not used to how to love, and how to be loved.”

“…”

After hearing this, Tokisaki Kurumi fell silent for a moment.

She couldn’t empathize with Xia Zhi’s words, but she could understand them.

…So that’s why the boy said that he would give her time to slowly understand?
