Flower Fairy: After transmigrating again, I became An'an's younger brother.

That evening, Xia Mu was busy in the kitchen, while Xia Tong and Xia An'an sat at the dining table.

"...I always feel that time seems to drag on endlessly at this time of year."

Xia Tong rested her chin on one hand and gently tapped the glass in front of her with the other, producing a crisp sound.

"Uh-huh."

Sitting next to him, Xia An'an nodded in agreement and took a sip of orange juice to calm her nerves.

Of course, Xia Mu didn't just buy orange juice. He noticed that the refrigerator was quite empty in the morning, so he replenished it when he came back from get off work.

At this moment, Xia An'an was looking helplessly at Xia Mu in the kitchen. When her gaze returned to Xia Tong, she noticed that Xia Tong was not wearing the pendant that Jiu Qiansui had given him before.

So she asked curiously, "Xiao Tong, why aren't you wearing the pendant that the Ninth Prince gave you?"

"That one."

Xia Tong stared down at the glass. Upon hearing her sister's question, she was reminded of some unpleasant memories from her past life. She sighed and said, "I'm not used to that... huh?"

He had just looked up when he saw Kukuru flying beside An'an.

"Sis, why won't you let Kukuru stay in the room?"

"What?!"

Xia An'an turned around and saw Kukuru flapping his little wings beside her, while rubbing his belly. "I'm so hungry, commoner, quickly prepare some delicious food for this prince."

"You impolite little prince, what will happen if your father sees you like this!"

An An reached out and grabbed Kukuru, then picked up a donut from the table with her other hand and stuffed it into Kukuru's mouth, shaking him up and down.

Because Kukuru's mouth was stuffed with a donut, he kept making "woo-woo-woo" sounds and struggling in Xia An'an's hands.

"An'an, Xiaotong—"

Hearing Kukuru's voice from inside the kitchen, Natsuki turned around and poked her head out, asking, "Did you hear that strange noise just now?"

Xia An'an hurriedly tossed Kukuru under the table and explained to Xia Mu, "No, it was Xiaobai calling just now. Right, Xiaotong?"

After speaking, Xia An'an turned her gaze to Xia Tong, who nodded in agreement.

"Yeah?"

Xia Mu put one hand on his hip and scratched his head with the other, laughing as he said, "Looks like it was just my imagination."

Xia Mu then returned to the kitchen and continued working.

At that moment, Kukuru flew out from under the dining table, shouting, "Earth is terrible, and the common people of Earth are so rude!"

"Don't even mention it! Get back to your room right now!"

After stuffing another donut into Kukuru's arms, Xia An'an flicked his forehead.

Because Kukuru wasn't very big, it was bounced directly onto the stairs by Xia An'an's force.

Then Kukuru got up cursing and flew upstairs with the donut, returning to Xia An'an's room.

Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Professor Xia Mu, who had been busy for an hour, finally decided to order takeout for dinner after tasting a bite of his own cooking.

So, under the watchful eyes of Xia An'an and Xia Tong, Xia Mu walked out of the kitchen, took out his phone, and asked Xia An'an and Xia Tong what they wanted to eat.

An hour later—

After Xia Tong and Xia An'an finished eating, they put down their chopsticks and said to Xia Mu, "Dad, I'm full. I'm going back to my room now."

"Okay, get some rest."

The two then went upstairs to their room together, but Xia Tong also took some snacks upstairs before that.

When Xia Tong returned to her room, she saw that the three Elf Kings were getting along "peacefully":

Shadow Chun was lying on his pillow, his fingertips flying across the tablet; Shadow Jiu Qian Sui floated in the corner, poking and looking at a box of old toys and miscellaneous trinkets; while Jiu Qian Sui stood on the desk, flipping through the various books on it with great interest.

Thank goodness.

Xia Tong breathed a sigh of relief. Before going downstairs, he had told the girls, "Don't get into a fight, don't fight." Now it seemed they had all listened to him.

Upon seeing Xia Tong, Shadow Nine Thousand Years Old flew over with what he called "the most boring machine in the world," his face full of disdain and incomprehension.

That's right, it's the machine with a switch on top of the box. When you turn it on, something comes out from the top, and when you turn it off, it retracts.

"Kid, you humans are really boring, making this kind of junk."

She raised her eyebrows. "All you do after all that is turn things on and off. How boring. Your 'boredom' is truly an eye-opener for me."

The nobleman beside the desk gently closed the book in his hand, flapped his wings and flew closer, his gaze falling on the machine, and said:

"This seems to be a stress-relieving toy for humans. The principle is very simple, yet it makes people unconsciously press it repeatedly. Human books say that repeating simple mechanical actions helps relieve anxiety and concentrate the mind. It's a very special psychological design."

Just as Jiuqiansui finished explaining, An Yingchun put down her tablet, chuckled, and flew over. Her face was filled with a cold smile as her gaze swept over the stress-relieving toy in An Ying Jiuqiansui's hand.

"Heh, I think you really do need this kind of... well, 'special psychological design' to fix your brain."

"What did you say?!"

The Ninth Prince of Shadows immediately turned his "cannon" around, glaring at Shadow Chun. He slammed the box in his hand onto the table with a "clatter" and then moved closer to Shadow Chun.

Just as the familiar smell of gunpowder was about to fill the air again, Xia Tong reacted quickly and stepped between the two.

"stop--!"

He drawled out the words, his voice soft but soothing, "Um, stop looking at that box, do you want something to eat?"

As she spoke, she held up the bag of snacks she was carrying and waved it in front of them, the plastic bag making a rustling sound.

As expected, Shadow Nine Thousand Years' attention was partially drawn to the plastic bag out of curiosity. She looked at it, then glanced at Shadow Chun, and snorted coldly.

The matter was temporarily over, but she still held her chin up, looking like she was saying, "I'll see what good stuff you can come up with."

The Ninth Prince also moved slightly closer, revealing a hint of curiosity.

Xia Tong then walked to the desk, put down the bag, and took out a few snacks from it.

Here, have a taste.

He first handed Shadow Nine Thousand Years a Swiss roll, saying, "This is fragrant and delicious."

The Ninth Prince of Shadows looked at it suspiciously, but finally took it and took a small bite with restraint.

She paused slightly while chewing, raised her eyebrows a little higher, but didn't say anything more. Instead, she took another bite, and noticeably faster.

Then, he handed a can of warm osmanthus oolong tea to the Ninth Prince floating beside him, saying, "Ninth Prince, this is refreshing."

Finally, Xia Tong took out a chocolate and handed it to An Ying Chun without saying a word, just smiling at her.

An Yingchun's gaze drifted to the chocolate, then quickly shifted away, landing on Xia Tong's face. After a few seconds of hesitation, she reached out and took it.

For a moment, only the faint sounds of chewing and the soft rustling of wrapping paper filled the room.

The tense atmosphere in the room was eased by the snacks, and peace was temporarily restored.

Shadow Nine Thousand Years Old has even started to analyze which of the snacks in the bag on the table tastes better.

call……

Xia Tong sat on the bed, watching this "peaceful" scene of eating, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, diverting attention is quite effective.

Then, Xia Tong lay down on the bed to go to sleep. Because of what had happened before, he even got up and said to An Ying Chun, "Chun, don't wake me up before six o'clock tomorrow morning."

Shadow Tsubaki licked the chocolate stains off her fingertips and nodded.

Having received the promise, Xia Tong lay down again.

No, there's one more thing.

Xia Tong suddenly remembered something and sat up.

His series of sit-ups successfully drew puzzled glances from both the Ninth Prince and the Shadow Ninth Prince.

"I almost forgot,"

Xia Tong scratched her hair, looked at Shadow Chun, and said naturally, "Chun, share some energy."

"Um."

Shadow Camellia responded readily. Under the watchful eyes of the other two Elf Kings, she flew over lightly and landed directly in Xia Tong's arms, finding a comfortable spot to settle down.

"?"

Xia Tong looked down at the "large doll" that had suddenly appeared in her arms, blinked, and then gave up thinking about it, simply holding her other free hand.

"What are you doing?!"

Shadow Nine Thousand Years Old slammed down the snack he was eating, flew in front of Xia Tong, and pointed at Shadow Chun with his finger.

The Nine Thousand Years Old also approached curiously, his gaze shifting between Xia Tong and Shadow Chun.
