“Why do you want to eat apples?”

"I just want you to stay away from me."

"..."

After sending the last patient away, Xia Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed his shoulders.

In the past two days, the number of people coming to see the doctor has increased suddenly, but after most of the examinations, there is basically nothing wrong with them. This not only makes Xia Zhi a little annoyed, but also affects those normal patients who want to see the doctor, and they are delayed unnecessarily.

As for the "culprit" that caused all this...

"Thank you for your hard work, father."

The girl placed a cup of steaming tea in front of him and asked in a gentle and soothing tone.

"Thank you."

Xia Zhi subconsciously thanked him, then hesitated.

How should I put it, having Her Royal Highness the Princess on the Moon make tea and bring water for you is a treatment that not everyone can enjoy.

but……

"Kaguya, you should know that I don't like drinking tea very much, right?" He raised his head, looked at the girl and asked.

"Of course I know." Kaguya blinked and said, "So I deliberately didn't add tea leaves into it."

Isn't that just plain boiling water?

Xia Zhi complained in his heart.

That’s right, the real purpose of those people coming to “see a doctor” was not to get treatment, but just to see the girl.

Perhaps it was because Kaguya had been coming to the clinic to visit him often recently, more and more people were attracted to her after seeing her appearance, and they came here for no reason.

This kind of thing is not uncommon. For example, modern businesses and shops like to use beautiful women to attract customers, don’t they?

Humans are visual creatures, and who doesn’t like beautiful girls?

In a normal store, an increase in customer flow is of course a good thing. But the problem is, Xia Zhi is running a medical clinic?

and……

"I just want to find a job to slack off and get some low-income benefits, that's all?" Xia Zhi thought with a headache.

On the other hand, seeing the boy's troubled expression, Kaguya not only did not say anything to comfort him, but seemed to be watching with great interest, looking very interested.

"...?"

When Xia Zhi saw this, several question marks popped up in his head.

Are those people here for you?

I am here feeling troubled by your problems, but you are gloating over there? Are you still my sweetheart?

"Anyway, father has promised that he won't marry me off, right?" the girl asked.

"That's exactly what I said..."

"Then what should I worry about?" the girl answered as a matter of course.

Xia Zhi was slightly stunned.

It seems... that's really the case?

So that's why you're standing by and watching the fun? He thought to himself.

"So that's why I just said, thank you for your hard work, father?"

Kaguya walked up to him, gently squeezed the boy's shoulders, and whispered comforting words behind him.

"It is because of you, father, that I don't have to worry about such boring things... I am very touched to see that you are willing to take on all this for me. At the same time, I am also very happy that you can think so much about me."

Along with soft whispers, the girl's fair and soft fingers kneaded his shoulders and neck gently, with a little force but just the right amount of strength, which made Xia Zhi's body relax all at once, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes comfortably.

I don’t know where this princess learned this from. I have never seen her do anything like this before, but her technique seems particularly perfect.

If possible, Xia Zhi actually wanted to enjoy it more, but unfortunately, the arrival of a petite figure interrupted them.

"Um, Brother Doctor..."

The girl with short black hair carefully poked her head in from outside the door, looked at them and said timidly: "I'm here to get today's medicine..."

As she spoke, she was slightly stunned when she saw the figure of the girl behind Xia Zhi, and quickly retracted her gaze, but then she couldn't help but secretly glance in her direction.

Summer Solstice:…

Where are you looking? The doctor is here.

I don’t know if it’s because of her looks, but compared to him, the girl is obviously much closer to Kaguya... After all, I’m not bad looking, right?

Xia Zhi thought with dissatisfaction in his heart, but still got up and helped the girl prepare medicine for the next few days.

"Have you had dinner?"

Before leaving, he asked a question out of habit.

"Not yet," the girl replied timidly.

Haven't you eaten yet at this late hour? I remember that ancient people had dinner quite early, right?

Xia Zhi looked at the sky outside which was about to darken and thought to himself in confusion.

"Would you like to stay and have dinner with us?"

"Eh? Is it okay?" The girl asked expectantly, as if secretly glancing at the girl behind him.

"Of course not. Can't you tell it's just a polite remark?" Xia Zhi tapped the girl's head gently and told her, "Go back quickly, or your mother will be worried."

The girl pouted, covered her forehead, and left reluctantly.

"Is it because you are always like this, father, that you can't attract the love of girls like Meihong?"

Looking at the girl's back disappearing behind the door, Kaguya turned around and said to the boy.

"I'm sorry, there are so many girls who like me."

Xia Zhi answered nonchalantly while tidying up the things on his desk.

“Is that so…” As if she understood something, Kaguya nodded slightly, and then continued to ask curiously: “Does mother know about this?”

"..."

Xia Zhi hesitated a little.

Should I say I know, or I don't know?

"Sometimes..." he answered uncertainly.

sometimes?

Kaguya tilted her head slightly and asked in confusion, "Which times?"

"In the future (clearly)."

"..."

Doesn't that mean he's hiding it from her?

"I see..." Kaguya nodded thoughtfully, and then kindly asked, "Do you need my help to cover for you?"

Xia Zhi was slightly stunned: "Covering what?"

"About your affair, father."

Summer Solstice: ?

How did you come to this conclusion?

And...Shen...

"I've told you, right? Xia Zhi and I are just brother and sister, not husband and wife... We're not married!"

"Really?" Kaguya blinked and said nothing more.

……

"elder brother."

At the dinner table, Xiao Xiazhi glanced at the black-haired girl beside her, then returned her gaze to the boy and said shyly, "Um... after dinner, can you come to my room?"

"What?" Xia Zhi looked at her puzzledly.

"I want to... ask about marriage." The girl answered in a low voice with a slightly blushing face.

Summer Solstice: ...? .

Chapter 474: The Girl Can’t Bear to Hate Her Brother

Naturally, Xia Zhi rejected the girl's request and tapped her head gently, indicating that children should stop thinking about adult matters.

Xiao Xia Zhi covered her forehead, feeling humiliated. Her face flushed and she wanted to duel with the boy, but Xia Zhi bullied her in all aspects from height to strength. After objectively reminding her that she was still a child, she left a sentence "I hate you the most" and stomped her feet back to her room angrily.

Witnessing this "domestic violence" happening right in front of her, Kaguya not only did not say anything to dissuade or comfort the man, but instead seemed to find it very interesting. Judging from her appearance, if she hadn't had nothing in her hands, she might have already eaten popcorn.

...But papaya or something should be okay, right?

Glancing at the girl who was drinking papaya soup with relish, Xia Zhi thought for a moment, said "I'll leave the dishes tonight to you", then he also cleaned up the dishes, stood up and left the living room.

"Eh?" Kaguya was slightly stunned and lowered her head to look at the papaya soup in her hand.

...She was just eating a melon, how come it affected her?

……

"Hateful, hateful, hateful guy!"

Xiao Xiazhi threw herself on the bed, hugged the quilt tightly, and muttered angrily in a muffled voice.

I was about to muster up the courage to ask... that guy didn't treat me as a peer who was only one year older than him, right?

...Although this is indeed the case now, she just feels unhappy.

"Dong dong dong..."

There was a knock on the door.

"Natsuori? Can I come in?"

"No!" the girl responded angrily.

"Is that so... Can you open the door?"

Don't they all mean the same thing?

Xiao Xiazhi complained in her heart.

"not open!"

She didn't lock the door, so if she wanted to come in, she could just come in.

The girl thought gloomily in her heart.

"Boom..."

There was a light sound as if something had landed next to her ears. Xiao Xiazhi looked up in confusion, only to find that the boy had come to her bedside without her noticing.

But the problem is, the door on the other side is still closed?

She widened her eyes slightly: "How did you get in?"

"Your window is not closed." Xia Zhi replied calmly.

Nonsense, I clearly locked the window!

Xiao Xiazhi sat up and turned around, (bidc)seeing the bolt on the window that had been broken into two pieces, and she couldn't help but fall silent.

Maybe... the quality of ancient latches was not very good?

On the other side, Xia Zhi was about to speak, but his eyes fell on the girl's little feet hanging over the edge of the bed, and he frowned slightly.

"Why did you go to bed without taking off your shoes again?"
