and so……

Xia Zhi thought about it, picked up the pen next to her, and wrote a few lines in her diary...

……

The girl had a dream.

Rather than a dream, "220" was more like a memory that reappeared before my eyes in the form of a dream.

It's not horrible, just... annoying.

Looking at the ceiling that was faintly illuminated by the moonlight in the dim light, Xiao Xiazhi gently hugged the pillow in her arms, feeling that she was unable to sleep.

Whenever she closed her eyes, the scene from the dream would appear in her mind. The words the boy said today and the words he said in the dream seemed to overlap, making the girl feel irritated and uneasy.

Xiao Xiazhi pursed her lips, let go of the pillow in her arms, put on her slippers and left the room.

The dark living room was silent, and the only sound I could hear was the ticking of the clock on the wall and my own faint breathing. It seemed that everyone except me had fallen asleep.

The girl looked at the boy's closed door, hesitated for a moment, and did not walk over. Instead, she turned around and left the house and came outside.

She did not go back to the stream because the boy had reminded her not to go too far from home at night as it was easy to encounter monsters or something.

Although she felt that it was probably just an excuse made up by the boy, she had no intention of disobeying it... After all, she was actually quite timid about running so far in the middle of the night.

The girl carefully climbed up to the roof along the bamboo ladder beside the house, found a flat place, pulled her skirt up to her knees, and sat down carefully.

The night sky tonight is very clear, and the stars are particularly bright. Looking at the bright moon in the sky, the girl feels that her mood has gradually calmed down.

But the next moment, a cool breeze blew in the night, making her shiver and sneeze a little.

The girl sniffed and looked up. When she was hesitating whether to go downstairs to put on more clothes, she suddenly felt a piece of clothes on her body.

"Really? It's so cold at night and you didn't even bother to put on some clothes before running outside. What can I say to you?"

The boy's helpless voice came from her ear, which made Xiao Xiazhi stunned for a moment. She turned around and saw an unexpectedly familiar figure.

"elder brother?"

She widened her eyes slightly, not quite understanding how the boy appeared here.

"If you hear a noise coming from the roof late at night, you should go out to check, right? What if it's a thief?" Xia Zhi explained while rubbing her head.

Xiao Xiazhi wrinkled her nose and said in a dissatisfied voice: "You are the thief..."

She snorted lightly, but did not struggle out of the boy's hands. She just pulled her clothes, wrapped herself tighter, and stopped talking.

Xia Zhi didn't care. He sat down next to the girl, looked at her and asked, "So, why did you run to the rooftop so late at night?"

"I won't tell you..." Xiao Xiazhi replied in a muffled voice.

"Is it something you can't tell others?"

"It's something I don't want to tell you."

So that’s how it is. I’m being targeted.

Xia Zhi thought about it and stopped talking.

Seeing that he really didn't ask any more questions, the girl became even more unhappy and asked sullenly, "Hey, let me say..."

"I don't say 'hello'." Xia Zhi interrupted her.

This kid just called him "brother".

"...Summer Solstice." The girl changed her name.

"..."

Well, at least there's a name.

Xia Zhi thought about it and didn't bother with her rebellious sister. She asked, "What's the matter?"

"You are from the future, right?" Xiao Xiazhi continued to ask.

"You are also from the future." Xia Zhi replied.

"I'm talking about my future!" The girl shook her head and looked at him with a little annoyance and shouted.

Xia Zhi thought about it and the accurate statement should be that the girl actually came from his past, but... it's almost the same.

“You can think of it that way…”

Hearing this, the girl pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and then continued to ask: "Then...what kind of person will I be in the future?"

There was a hint of nervousness and a hint of expectation in her voice.

"It's a girl." Xia Zhi replied.

"..."

Of course I know about this kind of thing!

Xiao Xiazhi thought angrily.

Seeing her cute angry look, Xia Zhi chuckled softly, turned around to look at the moon in the night sky, and continued in a nostalgic tone: "She... was much more sunny and lively than you are now, and smiled more often than you. Her personality was also better. She wouldn't lose her temper or get upset easily. When she encountered something unhappy, she would be willing to speak out directly, instead of keeping it in her heart like you..."

Xiao Xiazhi: "..."

Does that really sound like me?

And...why do I feel like you are criticizing me?

She puffed up her face in dissatisfaction.

Xia Zhi didn't seem to notice and continued to talk to herself: "She has made a lot of friends in school, and the teachers like her very much. She also does a good job of housework... Sometimes I think that she can live well even if she leaves me."

The girl fell silent and bit her lip lightly.

Really? Even if I am like that, I still...

"But ah..."

Xia Zhi suddenly changed the subject and continued, "Every time I think about this, her poor performance always makes me take back that idea."

"3.2 I like to kick the quilt at night, I don't know how to blow dry my hair, I always forget to take clothes with me when I take a shower, I won't cook if I'm not at home, I just eat fast food because it's too troublesome... Just like you, I always worry about you."

It's better to say that this is natural, after all, they are the same person.

"So..." Xia Zhi turned around and looked at the girl, his tone softened, and he said softly: "How could I be at ease leaving you?"

"...Huh?" Xiao Xiazhi was stunned by his sudden words. She blinked blankly, unable to react.

"I'm sorry, I overlooked this matter before." Looking at the girl's stunned expression, Xia Zhi gently rubbed her head and said to her softly: "So, let me say it again..."

"I will never leave you, Xia Zhi... This is my promise to you."

.......

Chapter 100: Strategy progress +%?

Just as Xia Zhi said, he was indeed negligent.

Because of the promise they had made, and the years of getting along with each other, neither he nor the grown-up Xia Zhi had ever subconsciously thought that there was a possibility that he would leave.

This is a matter of course, just like no sister would think that her own brother would one day break off relations with the family and never acknowledge her as his sister again.

Xia Zhi is his sister, this is an indisputable fact that does not need to be emphasized.

But Xia Zhi forgot that he and Xia Zhi were not normal siblings. He also forgot that from the perspective of Xia Zhi's timeline, he had never promised her anything.

Therefore, it is normal for girls to feel anxious and worried and not have enough sense of security.

I ignored these things and didn't notice the girl's inner uneasiness. Just like Kaguya said, I was indeed a fool.

"I'm sorry, Xia Zhi..."

Xia Zhijiang, who was still stunned in the spot, seemed to be still a little bit afraid to imagine the girl, and gently embraced her in his arms. He took out two red hairbands from his pocket, gently tied up the girl's long hair behind her, and tied the hair into a knot one by one, while whispering:

"Don't worry, I will be with you every day from now on. Even if you hate me, get bored with me, or despise me, I will never leave you...

"It sounds like you're a pervert..." Xiao Xiazhi wrinkled her nose and muttered softly while lying in his arms.

"Just treat me as a pervert."

Xia Zhi let go of the tied knot, turned around and started to tie the remaining strand of hair.

"I can't help it. I'm your brother after all. Even if my sister hates me so much, I can't leave you behind."

After all, as the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father, and as an elder brother, it is his duty to make his younger sister get the happiness she wants...

"so……"

Xia Zhi whispered in the girl's ear: "All the difficulties, troubles and confusion, all the sadness, fatigue and unhappiness, no matter what you encounter, you can give it all to me. Come and tell me, I have always been here... Our future has just begun."

"Even if you say so... I don't really understand..." Xiao Xiazhi lowered her head and murmured in a low voice.

"You will understand, and you will witness it all with your own eyes."

Xia Zhi put down the knot in his hand, raised his head, looked at the girl who had restored her low double ponytails, and said seriously:

"Listen carefully, Xia Zhi - no matter what kind of future you want, I will help you create it and fight for it.

From this day forward, you will be surrounded only by happiness forever.”

This is not an expectation for the future, but a fact that has already happened and is happening. Therefore, Xia Zhi's words are full of affirmation, because he is simply stating and telling the girl about such a future.

"..."

『Lantian』456348770

Xiao Xiazhi looked at the serious eyes of the boy in front of her, and remained silent. After a long time, she took the initiative to hug him again and nodded gently.

"Hmm... Xia Zhi knows..."

……

"Is this... a success?"

Looking at the words displayed in the diary, Xia Zhi blinked.

Although it was a little different from what I expected, and even a little unexpected, it did allow me to get my brother's promise... So, I have achieved my goal, right?

At this moment, she should have felt happy, but Xia Zhi felt a little weird.

Why does it feel a little different from my original situation?

It seems like... there are a few more words?

Even I haven't heard these words from my brother yet, and this girl said them first.

Xia Zhi puffed up her cheeks slightly.

She admitted that she was a little jealous.

Although they are both "Xia Zhi", her brother had never said such words to her before... Perhaps it was because their feelings were not as deep as they are now, and her brother made such a promise simply out of responsibility.

As expected, is it still the difference in initial “favorability”?

The girl thought to herself.

In other words, all the favor that I had worked so hard to gain from my brother over the years ended up going to this little girl?

Such thoughts made Xia Zhi feel even more unbalanced.

She shook her head vigorously, temporarily suppressing the unhappy emotions in her heart.

In this case, my past self would no longer think that my brother would leave me, right?

Xia Zhi thought to herself, lowered her head and looked at the diary again.

"I'm very happy. Really very happy.

When he hugged me and promised that he would never leave me, I felt an unprecedented sense of peace and happiness.

When he whispered in my ear that he would tolerate everything about me and create the future I wanted for me, I could hear my heart beating faster and faster, "thump thump" very hard, and my cheeks were so hot. If I hadn't been lying in my brother's arms, he would definitely have seen my blushing face.

Just like my brother said, I feel like I am surrounded by happiness and it is unreal.

If only this moment could last forever."

Yeah, that's right.
