Chapter 623 It’s just a monster
Kinomoto family, living room.

“Oh, there is pudding in the refrigerator. I’m welcome.”

In front of the open refrigerator, Xiaoke, floating in the air, looked at the pudding placed in the refrigerator, rubbing it with his little hands, looking impatient.

Just when it was about to take out the pudding, the sound of a door opening was suddenly heard. Hearing the sound, Xiao Ke was startled and hurriedly slammed the refrigerator door shut, yelling guiltily.

“I didn’t plan on sneaking in some snacks. I was just looking at what ingredients were in the fridge and guessing what was for dinner!”

But after it finished speaking, it heard no response.

“Ok?”

After waiting for a few seconds and still hearing no response, Xiaoke flew to the living room in confusion and cautiously looked inside.

When it saw Sakura changing her shoes at the door, it couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

“What? It’s you, Sakura, who’s back. I thought it was my brother who came back.”

If it was Touya who found it stealing snacks, he would definitely lecture it again, but if it was Sakura, then there would be no problem.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ke was no longer in a hurry to steal the pudding, but curiously flew to Xiao Ying and asked: “Xiao Ying, weren’t you going to the Zhishi family to shoot today? How come you came back so soon? I thought it was my brother who came back just now.”

“…”

“Hmm? Sakura, why aren’t you talking?”

Xiao Ke noticed that Sakura had her head lowered and didn’t say anything, so he couldn’t help but feel puzzled. He lowered his body out of curiosity to look at Sakura’s face.

Just one look made it subconsciously exclaim: “Xiaoying, your face is so red, why is it so red? Are you tired or sick?”

“……neither.”

“Then why…”

“Ugh… stop asking!”

Seeing that Xiaoke seemed to want to ask more questions, Xiaoying’s shame exploded again. She slapped Xiaoke away and ran up to her room in her slippers.

When the sound of a door closing was heard from upstairs, Xiaoke, who had been slapped open, came back to his senses and scratched his head in confusion.

“So what happened?”

After thinking for a few seconds, it shook its head helplessly: “Forget it, as long as I’m not sick.”

Since Sakura doesn’t want to say more, it doesn’t have to ask. After all, the most important thing right now is the snacks in the refrigerator.

“Pudding pudding, my pudding hehehe…”

……

Meanwhile, in Sakura’s room.

After running to her room in one breath, Sakura closed the door and then subconsciously locked it.

After doing all this, she took two steps at a time and came to her bed, then threw herself forward and landed on it.

After rolling around on the bed, she picked up the quilt and buried herself in it. The rustling sound of the fabric was mixed with the sound of her pounding heartbeat.

“Ugh… I’m still so shy.”

With a mumble, the small figure wrapped in the quilt curled up into an even smaller ball, and rolled around unconsciously, from the head of the bed to the foot of the bed, and then from the foot of the bed to the head of the bed.

Perhaps because of her excessive movement, when she rolled to the head of the bed again, the teddy bear that was originally placed on the bedside table suddenly fell down.

“Ok?”

Feeling something hit her head, Sakura reached out to touch it. After realizing it was her teddy bear, she took the teddy bear back into the quilt.

“Xiaoying, what do you think I should do?”

Sakura looked at the stuffed bear in her hand, her fingertips unconsciously pinching the bear’s ears.

This is the little bear she sewed by hand for Syaoran, and then Syaoran named the little bear “Sakura”. The little bear that Syaoran gave her was also named “Syaoran” by her.

However, after Syaoran transferred to the school, the two of them exchanged Little Bear. Now “Sakura” is with her and “Syaoran” is with Syaoran.

But the little bear wouldn’t answer, and Sakura knew she was just talking to herself.

She stared at the little bear, thinking back to the little bear doll that the little wolf had given her, and she murmured subconsciously, “I really hope that one day, the little bears can live together.”

“…”

“Ugh—!!”

After a few seconds, Sakura suddenly realized what she had just said. She let out a grunt and quickly pushed the teddy bear out of the quilt, wrapping herself tightly again.

“What am I talking about!?”

Under what circumstances will the cubs live together? Of course, that is when the cubs’ owners already live together.

Downstairs, Xiaoke, who was sitting at the dining table and eating pudding spoonfully, couldn’t help but cover his forehead when he heard the noise upstairs.

“It’s such a big noise… so what happened?”

Click——!
Suddenly, there was another sound of a door opening. Xiaoke’s body stiffened suddenly when he heard the sound, but before he could make any move, a hurried figure walked in.

Touya, who suddenly returned home, had a sour look on his face, holding his mobile phone tightly in his hand. Just looking at the taut veins on his arms, one could tell how much strength he was using at the moment.

The next second, he noticed Xiaoke, who was looking embarrassed and holding a spoon in his arms.

“…”

“…”

Facing Touya’s eyes that looked like he wanted to eat someone, Xiao Ke smiled awkwardly and said, “Well, I just wanted to taste the pudding, I didn’t eat it on purpose.”

“…”

Touya didn’t answer, and his murderous look didn’t change at all.

After confirming that Touya was in an extremely unhappy mood, Xiao Ke swallowed silently and couldn’t help feeling a little scared.

Why does my brother look so scary? Did something happen to him?
The two looked at each other for a long time, and just when Xiao Ke couldn’t help but want to get up and apologize, Touya finally spoke.

“Sakura… is she back?”

“Yes, Xiaoying is back and is in the room now.” Xiaoke didn’t dare to hide anything and nodded quickly to answer.

Hearing this answer, Touya trembled, turned around immediately and strode upstairs.

But he had just taken two steps when he suddenly thought of something and stopped abruptly.

“Cold-quiet-cold-quiet–“

Touya took several deep breaths and tried to calm himself down, but he finally stopped his surging emotions.

“you–!”

Touya suddenly turned his head to look at Xiao Ke, gritted his teeth, and said word by word: “Tell me in detail about Sakura’s return.”

“Yes!”

Xiao Ke, who was already feeling guilty and scared, stood up straight immediately and didn’t dare to refuse at all.

From Xiaoke’s narration, Touya quickly learned the specific circumstances of Sakura’s return. When he heard that Sakura went upstairs with a red face and locked the room, he almost couldn’t control himself.

I kept telling him to calm down more than ten times before he finally calmed down.

Then he just sat on the sofa with a sullen and hard look on his face, seemingly waiting for Sakura to come down by herself.

Seeing this, Xiao Ke, who had finished his story, sat aside carefully, not daring to move at all, for fear of attracting Touya’s attention.

Smelling the faint aroma of pudding wafting over, it silently shed tears in its heart. It had just taken a few bites of the pudding. Woo woo woo… Time passed by little by little until it was time to make dinner. The sound of the upstairs door opening was rang out again.

Hearing this voice, Touya, who was sitting on the sofa with his arms folded across his chest, suddenly perked up and stared at the stairs.

Xiao Ke, who was lying drowsy on the side, was awakened by Touya’s sudden movement. He immediately straightened up and looked towards the stairs.

After a while, Sakura appeared from the stairs.

But when she felt two pairs of eyes staring at her, her movement of going downstairs froze and she immediately wanted to turn around and go back upstairs.

“come over!”

Seeing that Sakura wanted to go upstairs, Touya gave the order in a calm voice, his tone full of refusal to refuse.

“…”

After hearing this, Sakura hesitated for a few seconds, but finally walked over resignedly.

Her brother seemed very serious, so she should just obey him first.

After finally coming in front of Touya, Sakura glanced at Touya’s gloomy face and whispered, “What’s wrong? Brother, why do you look so grim?”

“…”

Touya took a deep breath and did not answer Sakura. Instead, he raised his phone silently with a stern face and showed his phone screen to Sakura.

As the phone screen lit up, Sakura also saw a chat interface. The name on the interface was “The Brat with the Last Name Xia”.

There are only two messages in the interface. The first message is “Are you there? Let me show you something fun”, and the second message is a photo.

Although the photo was not enlarged, the familiar photo instantly evoked Sakura’s memory.

The photo shows a boy and a girl wearing clothes of the opposite sex. Although it is a bit strange, the most eye-catching thing is that they are quite close.

The photo is very clear, and you can even see that the two faces are close together. Just looking at the composition of the photo, it seems that the girl took the initiative.

Sakura: “!!?”

“…Do you want to explain to me what this is?” Touya looked at Sakura, whose face was gradually turning red, and his voice was low and his eyes were full of complexity.

Looking at the photo that appeared on her brother’s phone, Sakura’s mind exploded and she went into a state of complete shutdown.

She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but at this moment she had stopped thinking and couldn’t say anything.

Looking at Sakura’s appearance, Touya, who originally wanted to question her, couldn’t help but sigh deeply and reached out to pat Sakura’s head.

“I don’t mean to blame you, it’s just, just…”

I just didn’t expect you guys to progress so…fast. It doesn’t seem very fast, after all, his sister and that brat have been dating since elementary school.

“…”

“Forget it, it’s nothing.”

Touya felt extremely complicated, but in the end he didn’t say anything.

After all, he didn’t know what to say. Did he say that they were progressing too fast? But in fact, their progress was not fast.

Moreover, he had actually anticipated this scene in his mind. After all, his sister would get married eventually and it was impossible for her to be alone all her life.

However, even though he had clearly anticipated this scene, why did he still feel so sad when the vision became reality?

Touya, who had always denied that he was a sister-con, suddenly had an urge to bury his head in the quilt and cry.

“Tell that brat to wait for me at the door tomorrow. I have something to discuss with him.” In the end, Touya suppressed all impulses and just said this calmly.

Since someone is going to cry, why can’t the person crying be that brat?
When Touya thought of the appearance of the brat in the photo, he felt that his calm mood was ignited by an inexplicable anger again.

“Brother, don’t!”

Hearing her brother’s words, Sakura, who was originally in a daze, came back to her senses instantly and spoke out to stop him.

Although she didn’t know what her brother was going to do to the little wolf, from the tone of his voice, it was probably not a good thing.

Taoya: “…”

don’t want……

With a snap, Touya felt something break.

He pressed his chest, and even though he was heartbroken, he still said, “I won’t do anything to that brat. I just, just want to tell him something.”

“What happened!?”

Although Touya said this, Sakura couldn’t help but ask loudly.

“… things between men.”

Touya rubbed Sakura’s hair fiercely and said viciously: “I said I won’t do anything to him. If you side with that brat again, I will be really angry!!”

Hearing her brother say this, Sakura could only suppress her worry and nodded softly: “I, I understand…”

“snort–!”

Touya snorted heavily, stood up and walked towards the kitchen: “I’ll make dinner, you just think about how to explain it to dad.”

“!!!”

dad! ?
Sakura’s eyes widened and she was absent-minded again for a moment. She almost forgot that her father didn’t know about this.

My brother will definitely tell my father. How should I explain it to him then?
Little wolf, come and save me!
On the other side, the kitchen.

After saying that viciously, Touya walked to the refrigerator with a cold face, opened it casually, took out ingredients and prepared dinner.

After washing the necessary ingredients, he took the kitchen knife and chopped them hard, as if he was venting something, and the sound of cutting vegetables could be heard.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
“Cutting vegetables like this is not good for either the knife or the cutting board.”

Suddenly, a gentle and ethereal voice sounded in his ears. Touya glanced at his mother who was smiling gently beside him, paused, and then obediently slowed down his movements.

Seeing that Toya listened to her words, Kinomoto Nadeshiko smiled and said: “As a brother, shouldn’t you be happy for Sakura? Why are you so angry?”

“I’m not angry.”

Touya casually put the knife aside and poured the cut ingredients into the basket, intending to wash them again.

“It’s obviously there.”

Nadeshiko reached out and gently stroked Touya’s forehead, saying, “Look, your eyebrows are so tightly furrowed.”

“…”

Touya was silent. Seeing this, Nadeshiko smiled helplessly and said, “Children will grow up. Since Sakura has found her own happiness, you should be happy for her.”

Hearing this, Touya was silent for a few seconds, then sighed softly: “I know, but…”

“only?”

“It’s just that she doesn’t have to grow up so quickly. This seems to remind me that she will leave me one day.”

“No matter how close a sister is, she will naturally leave her original family when she grows up and start her own new family. It’s not okay to always want her to stay by your side.”

“I know……”

Touya sighed deeply, how could he not know this truth, but…but he still didn’t want Sakura to grow up so quickly.

It was just a monster not long ago.
