"You heard wrong."

"Then why did you look away?"

The girl puffed up her cheeks slightly, and the next moment, she saw the piece of fried fish being handed to her again.

"Do you want to eat it?" Xia Zhi looked at her and asked, "Because it's been a while, it may be a little cold, but it tastes just as good."

The girl hesitated. She wanted to say that she couldn't eat these things, but before she opened her mouth, she suddenly seemed to realize something. She looked at Xia Zhi in confusion and asked, "How do you know it tastes just as good?"

It was clearly still hot when he just ate it, right?

The girl thought to herself in confusion.

But...if you think about it carefully, it is also possible that he has eaten this thing before and has that experience?

After thinking about it, she quickly found the answer in her mind.

"I was just talking nonsense." Xia Zhi replied.

"..."

The girl puffed up her cheeks, and just as she was about to say something, she heard a voice calling from the side:

"elder brother!"

Xia Zhi was stunned for a moment, turned around and looked in the direction where the sound came from, only to find that Xia Zhi and the others had returned.

"Summer Solstice~"

Ai Lu Ke trotted into his arms, looked up at him and said happily: "We brought you a lot of delicious food."

"Thank you so much." Xia Zhi rubbed her head gently.

Even though I was almost full...

"By the way..." Xue No, who came back with him, glanced at the position in front of the boy, turned around and looked at him in confusion and asked, "Xia Zhi, who were you talking to just now?"

A cute ghost that you won’t be scared of if you see Yukino... Xia Zhi originally wanted to answer like this, but when he turned around, he found that the girl had disappeared.

Ran away again.

Xia Zhi thought so in his heart.

Chapter 433: Who wouldn’t like his own sister?

I just finished telling a ghost story and encountered a ghost at night. Is this a coincidence?

Xia Zhi thought so in his heart.

"Summer Solstice?"

"Hmm?" Hearing the soft call from his ear, Xia Zhi raised his head, looked at the black-haired girl beside him and asked, "What's the matter, Xueno-san?"

"Nothing, it's just that you didn't respond when I called Xia Zhi just now."

Yukino replied, shaking her head slightly.

The two were currently strolling along the busy streets of the festival.

Because she had not expected to win so many prizes, Yang Nai was not well prepared. Later, she drove the car directly to the open space next to the temple fair and moved all the prizes into the car. This allowed Xia Zhi to get rid of the identity of "earthbound spirit" and freely visit the temple fair with everyone.

...Even though she said that, in reality, when Natsuori was dragging Elko and Shubi around again, and Haruno, whether intentionally or unintentionally, said "I won't bother you anymore" and then caught up with Natsuori and the others, the only one who went shopping with Natsuori was Yukino.

Xia Zhi himself didn't care... Rather, he felt more at ease with Yukino, who also showed no interest in the temple fair and just stayed quietly by his side along the way.

If I were to go with that girl Xia Zhi, it probably wouldn't be so comfortable.

Xia Zhi thought this in his heart, and continued the previous topic to the girl beside him:

"You just called me Xiazhi, and now you call me classmate."

"Doesn't Xiazhi-san also call me Yukino-san all the time?" Yukino asked back.

"…You care?"

"I didn't say that." The girl gave an answer that was neither an admission nor a denial.

As expected, you really care, right?

Xia Zhi thought to himself and continued, "I just think that calling it this way is very special."

……special?

Without waiting for the girl to ask, Xia Zhi continued to explain:

"Look, calling each other by name is a more intimate way of addressing each other, but they added the unfamiliar term 'classmate' at the end. This contradictory unity of opposites is very special no matter how you think about it, isn't it?"

"There are many people who call you classmate, and there are also many who call you Yukino, but I'm the only one who calls you 'Yukino-kun' like this... Don't you feel like it's exclusive?"

"...I didn't expect Xia Zhi to have such a preference."

"That's a limited edition, so no one would not be tempted, right?"

Yukino snorted softly and didn't say anything else. It was unclear whether this was considered as her approval of the boy's way of addressing her.

However, judging from the slightly upturned corners of her mouth, she should be in a pretty good mood.

Xia Zhi thought to himself.

"So, how long did it take you to make this?" Yukino gathered her hair behind her ears and continued asking.

"About five seconds..." Xia Zhi replied after recalling for a moment.

"I see... Xia Zhi's mind is always very quick when it comes to things like this."

"I'll just take it as a compliment."

Xia Zhi said as he handed her the peeled baked sweet potato: "Here, be careful of the heat."

"Ah, thank you..."

Faced with the sweet potato handed over by the boy, Yukino seemed a little at a loss for a moment. She took it blankly and stared at the steaming sweet potato in her hand in a daze.

"Don't you like it?" Xia Zhi asked puzzledly.

"..."

Yukino shook her head, feeling the warmth coming from her palm, she lowered her head and took a small bite.

The sweet and glutinous taste spread in her mouth, and the warm temperature went down her esophagus to her stomach. It was as if her whole body became warm, and she narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Classmate Xia Zhi is really good at taking care of people." After a moment, she couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, she had already experienced this in that "dream", but now she has a new understanding.

"After all, I used to take care of Xia Zhi a lot."

As Xia Zhi spoke, he peeled a roasted sweet potato for himself, took a bite while it was still hot, and spoke vaguely.

Yukino looked puzzled.

It's not that I doubt the truth of the boy's words, it's just...

"Is it Xia Zhi, the one who takes care of Xia Zhi's daily life...?"

What should I say...

“I can’t imagine such a scene at all.”

Rather, in her impression, the opposite of this situation should be normal, right?

Xia Zhi didn't care. He swallowed the sweet potato in his mouth and continued to explain:

"Don't look at that girl like this now. She used to be very difficult to serve and didn't give me, her brother, any respect at all... By the way, please don't say this in front of Xia Zhi."

"Will it affect the relationship between you and your siblings?"

"It's not that serious, or our feelings are not that fragile yet, it's just..."

Xia Zhi paused for a moment, thought about it, and tried to give an example:

"Yukino-san, do you have any dark history?"

Yukino probably knew what the boy meant.

We avoid talking about history and are unwilling to mention it to anyone, hoping that as few people as possible know about it. If someone brings it up in person, we will naturally feel ashamed and angry.

Even if this is the case, will it not affect the relationship?

"It's not like there won't be any impact at all... There will probably be a day or two when she won't want to talk to me, right?"

After hesitating and thinking for a moment, Xia Zhi answered.

Judging from previous experiences of Xia Zhi having a "cold war" with me after getting angry, this was already considered a very serious situation.

"Xiazhi-san, you have a very good relationship with your sister." Yukino couldn't remember how many times she had sighed like this.

"It's hard to say for my younger brother, but if it's my younger sister, I guess there are very few older brothers or sisters who don't like to love and protect her, right?"

Simply from the perspective of a sister-con, Xia Zhi made a statement... On this point, he thought that he should have a lot in common with Yang Naineng.

Xueno didn't say anything, but just pursed her lips slightly and looked at the 203 fireworks swaying and slowly rising in the night sky in the distance.

next moment……

"Bam—!"

The fireworks bloomed and scattered in an instant, and the brilliant light dispelled the darkness of the night sky. As more and more fireworks bloomed in the sky, the entire night sky was dyed in colorful colors.

Not far away, along with the brilliant fireworks exploding in the sky, there were also the exclamations and cheers of Eluko.

In the field of vision, a girl with short black hair who was looking up at the beautiful fireworks in the sky not far away seemed to feel the gazes from behind. She turned around, smiled and waved to the two people here, as if saying hello.

"Yang is her. She has always loved you."

Looking at the figure of the girl in the distance, Xia Zhi said this.

"Of course I know that. That kind of thing..."

Yukino's eyes were looking straight ahead in the distance, and she didn't know whether she was looking at the familiar figure or the brilliant light blooming in the sky.

After a moment, she retracted her gaze and looked at the boy beside her, and asked in a calm tone as usual:

"It's just that I'm a little confused... Xia Zhi, when did your relationship with my sister become so good?"

Summer Solstice:…

Cold sweat broke out on his back.

……

PS: Xia Zhi's vote ratio is overwhelmingly high... After thinking about it, why not just ask for one more picture. Even if the younger sister is confirmed, besides her and Ai Lu, who else do you want to see as a profile picture? You can tell me in the pinned comment~ (Those who have already voted for the younger sister can also vote again).

Chapter 434: Are ghosts afraid of ghosts?

The group played until very late, until the festival gradually came to an end and all the stalls began to pack up and prepare to go back, only then was it completely over.

Ailuko, who was having the most fun, had fallen asleep in Xia Zhi's arms. Xia Zhi, who seldom played so late, was yawning constantly. Only Hubie was still energetic and looked like he could play another round.

As expected of an Ex-Machina.

Xia Zhi couldn't help but sigh again.

"Can I help hold it for you?"

Seeing that Natsuori seemed a little tired, Yang No took the initiative to make such a suggestion.

"Eh? No need." Xia Zhi quickly shook her head: "Sister Yang No, you still need to drive later, right?"

"It's okay with me. I'll return it to you when we get back to the car. Besides... Sister Xia Zhi, you must be very tired, right?" Yang No said.

Even so...

Xia Zhi hesitated for a moment, his eyes fell on another figure beside him, and he blinked.
