Xia Zhi complained in his heart, looked at Shion who also thanked him with a blushing face, and touched her little head.

In fact, when he sent Rinne home, he actually wanted to ask Yoshino whether her “Angel” problem was related to the other party… But since she didn’t want him to ask these questions now, he decided to forget it for now.

However, she said that she could do whatever she liked without any worries… She would support her no matter what…

What exactly does the category of “anything” include here?

After thinking for a while, Xia Zhi looked at the girl on the other side and called out to her:

“Kotori.”

“Hmm? What’s wrong, brother?” Kotori responded while she was picking up the scattered desserts.

“Would you like to sleep together tonight?”

The girl’s movements froze for a moment, and then her fair cheeks turned red instantly.

“You, you, you, what are you talking about?” she stammered.

“I mean……”

Xia Zhi was about to repeat it, but the girl rushed over and blocked his mouth with a cookie.

“Yoshino is here, what nonsense are you going to say in front of her?” She asked the boy with an extremely embarrassed look.

Would it be okay if she wasn’t here?

Xia Zhi complained in his heart, but gave up the idea of ​​continuing.

Seeing that he had no intention of continuing, Kotori breathed a sigh of relief and loosened her hand that was covering his mouth.

“Really… I’m so grown up, why do I still have to sleep with my sister?” She complained in a low voice.

Why does it feel like the subject and object in this sentence are reversed?

Xia Zhi shook his head.

No matter how you look at it, the experiment is a temporary failure, right?

He thought to himself that he stayed in the living room with the girls until very late. He took advantage of this time to introduce many electrical appliances to Yoshino, demonstrated some of the operations of his mobile phone to her, and promised her that he would buy her a mobile phone of her own tomorrow for easy communication. Seeing that it was getting late, he took her back to his room.

The reason for doing these things was to allow her to temporarily get away from the emotions of Shionai’s disappearance and stop thinking about this matter for a while.

However, this is not a long-term solution after all… After all, when it is late at night and everyone is asleep, my mind will always recall some thoughts that were buried deep in my heart during the day.

But I can’t always stay by her side, right?

For example now…

Looking at Yoshino, who had already read five or six bedtime stories but still didn’t feel sleepy, Xia Zhi began to wonder whether he should change to a more powerful storybook.

“I’m sorry… Xia Zhi… I…”

Yoshino’s face showed a self-blaming expression. She also knew that she was a little unreasonable now, but if the boy was not around, she would not be able to feel at ease in her heart… After all, he was the only one she had now.

“…”

Seeing the girl holding onto his clothes tightly, unwilling to let him leave, Xia Zhi sighed slightly.

“Tomorrow, go on a date with me?” He suddenly said…

Shiono was slightly stunned: “Date?”

“Yes, date.” Xia Zhi nodded and continued, “I will accompany you all day, take you to various fun places, see many new things, eat a lot of delicious food, and do many happy things…”

As the boy explained the meaning of the date, Yoshino’s eyes gradually brightened.

Are you looking forward to it? If it were just these things, I wouldn’t be particularly looking forward to it.

But, if I were with a boy…

“But, we have to get up very early for a date…so, Yoshino has to go to bed early too.”

Xia Zhi gently stroked the girl’s head and said softly:

“Don’t worry, I’ll be by your side until you fall asleep.”

Shion hesitated for a moment, nodded, and gently closed her eyes.

I didn’t know if she listened to me or not. Anyway, I stayed by her side for a long time before her breathing finally calmed down.

After finally coaxing the girl to sleep, Xia Zhi returned to his room.

Since I didn’t go to class today, I didn’t do my homework either. Is this considered a complete absence? Xia Zhi thought to himself, looking at the schoolbag on the desk that had not been opened all day.

…Oh, no, it seems Origami asked for leave for me.

However, when he thought of the reason the girl gave for asking for leave, he felt a headache.

Will I still be able to go to school in the future?

“Dong dong dong…”

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Xia Zhi came back to his senses and tilted his head slightly.

It’s so late, who would come to see me?

…No, you can figure this out if you just think about it, right? There are only two of us at home.

He thought to himself, walked forward and opened the door, and as expected, he saw the familiar petite figure.

“elder brother……”

The girl with long red hair was standing barefoot at the door with a pillow in her arms. Her pretty face was slightly flushed, and her white and tender feet were rubbing against each other shyly. She looked away shyly and asked in a low voice: “Can I…can I come in?”

“…”

Why does Xia Zhi feel that this scene seems familiar?

…….

Chapter 1230 “Good night, brother”

At night, the girl no longer wore her hair in ponytails. Her long red hair fell softly behind her. Her two flawless white arms were holding a soft pillow against her chest. Her petite figure in a thin nightgown looked exceptionally slender, giving people a feeling of fragility.

This made Xia Zhi recall the little Qinli of the past.

On the other side, facing his scrutinizing gaze, Qin Li’s cheeks flushed, and she stammered, “What, what’s wrong?”

“Why did you come here without shoes?”

Xia Zhi’s gaze dropped down to her feet.

You can see the girl’s white calves and slender ankles exposed under the hem of her nightgown. Her white and tender feet are not wearing slippers, but are just stepping on the ground barefoot. Even if it is not autumn or winter now, it would feel cold, right?

“No, I accidentally got my slippers wet…” The girl hugged the pillow tightly and answered in a low voice.

is it?

Why do I always feel like she seems a little guilty?

Xia Zhi shook his head, not wanting to pursue the matter for the time being, and then asked, “So, what’s the matter?”

“This one……”

The girl looked away slightly, hesitating a little.

“Did you wet the bed?” Xia Zhi kindly helped her express her unspeakable secret.

“No way!” Kotori gave him an embarrassed and annoyed look… What was this person saying to her well-behaved and lovely sister?

“It’s just that I accidentally wet the quilt just now.” She explained with a blushing face.

How did you manage to get both the quilt and slippers wet at the same time? Did you take a shower in the bedroom?

Xia Zhi complained in his heart, and then asked doubtfully:

“You should have another quilt, right?”

“Brother, have you forgotten? That set of bedding was given to Yoshino.” Kotori reminded him.

Xia Zhi remembered that there was such a thing… He originally planned to give his own set of bedding to Yoshino, but was vetoed by Kotori, and finally he replaced it with hers.

Now it seems that this set of mine will come in handy after all.

“I don’t want it. It’s been left for so long that it already smells moldy.” The girl showed a look of disgust.

Do you like it or not?

Xia Zhi rolled his eyes in annoyance.

…By the way, even though it was the rainy season a while ago, I put desiccant in my closet. Apart from the desiccant smell, it shouldn’t be that easy to get moldy, right?

He crossed his arms, looked at the girl and asked, “So, what are you going to do?”

Upon hearing this, Kotori stiffened slightly, and a blush appeared on both sides of her fair cheeks again. She hugged the pillow tightly in her arms, buried half of her face in the pillow, glanced away and asked softly: “Um… can, can I… sleep with you?”

Xia Zhi was slightly stunned for a moment, and seemed to understand something. He looked her up and down.

“What, what are you doing?” Kotori felt uncomfortable with his gaze.

“…Is it really okay for you to sleep with your brother even though you are already this old?”

Xia Zhi returned what she said that night.

This person is really narrow-minded.

Kotori puffed up her cheeks slightly: “Can you bear to let your sister sleep in the corridor?”

Isn’t there a sofa in the living room?

Xia Zhi wanted to show her some advice, but after thinking it over he gave up.

“Children who don’t tell the truth are not welcome in my room.”

He said.

Hearing this, Kotori tilted her head slightly and fixed her gaze on him.

Xia Zhi: “…I’m not a child.”

“Neither am I.”

Kotori wrinkled her nose, and as she spoke, she stretched out her little hand to push the boy away, intending to walk into this “adult’s room”.

Looking at the girl squeezing into his room, Xia Zhi thought for a moment and simply made way for her, preparing to walk out the door.

“Then you sleep here, and I’ll go to your room.”

He said this, but before he took two steps, the girl grabbed the corner of his clothes.

“But, but…my quilt is wet.” Kotori stammered.

“It doesn’t matter, I just like sleeping wet.” Xia Zhi answered casually.

Are you a pervert?

The girl’s eyes revealed this meaning.

However, seeing Xia Zhi preparing to turn around and leave again, she could not care less and hugged the boy’s arm tightly: “Don’t go, brother… I…”

“What?” Xia Zhi tilted his head slightly.

“I am afraid……”

Facing the boy’s question, Kotori lowered her head and said shyly in an inaudible voice:

“Stay with me…brother…please…”

“…”

Looking at the cute scene of the girl in front of him saying this shyly with a blushing face, Xia Zhi felt that he should have recorded that moment with his mobile phone.

……

It turned out to be the case.

I saw a scary video on my phone late at night and I’m afraid to sleep alone… I’m such a child.

Looking at the petite figure curled up in the quilt next to him, Xia Zhi thought to himself.

But…even though it was Kotori who took the initiative, he couldn’t help but recall the words he said to Kotori at night.

Is this a coincidence? Or…
