My sickly little sister is too clingy, I just keep sticking to her.

Chen Xue knew very well that her brother's love for her was completely different from her own love for him, but this was enough for now.

The two did not leave immediately, but rested for a while first.

During this time...

Chen Xia wasn't idle either.

Instead, they went and bought some things.

Milk tea + ice cream.

One for each person, one cup for each person.

As she savored the taste of the ice cream, a smile appeared on Chen Xue's lips.

sandy beach.

milk tea.

ice cream.

Feeling the morning sun, listening to the crashing waves, and... the cries of seagulls.

This feels...not bad.

Perhaps this is what dating should be like.

After finishing her meal, she turned slightly to the side and leaned on Chen Xia's shoulder, seemingly enjoying herself or perhaps resting, as this had happened many times before.

to this end……

Chen Xia was already used to it.

He couldn't help but ask, "Tired? Want to go back?"

"don't want!"

"???"

"I'm just taking a break. By the way... bro, where are we going next?"

"this……"

Where to go?

Chen Xia wanted to go straight home, but obviously... that was impossible.

First of all~

Today is for research.

Aside from gathering materials, there was naturally plenty of time for eating, drinking, and having fun. He knew very well that his younger sister had been looking forward to it for a long time, so it was impossible for her to go back so early.

to this end……

After thinking for a few seconds, Chen Xia offered her suggestion: "How about we go eat? There happens to be a nice restaurant nearby."

Have a meal?

That's no problem at all.

However… when she made this request, Chen Xue shook her head: “No, no, no, just going out to eat is too boring. I’ll take you somewhere else.”

"???"

Huh?

Go somewhere?

Where to go?

Is Chen Xue going to take me to some street food stall?

Just as he was looking forward to it, the two got into a taxi, and when they arrived at the place, Chen Xia was completely dumbfounded when he saw the sign in front of the door.

Handmade dumplings (self-service)... 22 yuan per person.

Chen Xia: "????"

"Surprised? Unexpected?"

“…………”

There were unexpected events.

surprise……

Really!

At this moment... Chen Xia had only one thought: she was somewhat relieved that this wasn't a real date, if it were.

After seeing this storefront, the other party will most likely leave immediately.

It's so awful.

Similarly... he was also somewhat curious: "Why did you come here?"

"I've thought of an interesting part..."

"What?"

"Let's eat dumplings and see who can eat the most. Whoever loses has to grant the other a small request. Isn't that interesting?"

(⊙o⊙)...

What's interesting about it?

If it's a good buddy, playing like this is definitely fine.

But it was a man and a woman...

How could we possibly lose?

However… just as Chen Xia was speechless with frustration, something suddenly occurred to him: “If I win, can I make demands of you?”

Chen Xue nodded, then asked curiously, "Right? What do you want to do, brother? If it goes too far, I won't agree..."

"It certainly won't be excessive."

"so……"

"So I was thinking, if I let you go home, would you go back?"

"!!!"

In short~

Chen Xue, who had been smiling, suddenly stopped smiling.

Really!

The smile doesn't disappear; it just moves to other people's faces.

That's exactly what happened to Chen Xue.

Regret!

At that moment, she had only one thought: maybe she should run away.

What a pity~

Once the bow is drawn, there's no turning back.

"Boss! You two..."

“…………”

What should I do?

Cold!

Eventually, the two started eating the self-service dumplings. The dumplings weren't big, so they weren't difficult to eat. In order to eat more, Chen Xue also used some tricks.

such as……

Meat fillings can be greasy, so she chose vegetarian dumplings.

Chen Xia not only ate dumplings, but also took some free side dishes, which gave Chen Xue, who had initially given up hope, a glimmer of hope.

We will win!

And then... in the midst of this anticipation, she lost miserably.

There's nothing I can do about it~

Gender differences, height differences.

ε=(´ο｀*))) alas

"Brother, tell me your request."

go back?

never mind!

Let's go back then. Today may not have been perfect, but overall, it was still somewhat fruitful, especially Chen Xia's protective gesture on the beach.

Boyfriend?

hee hee~

However, just as she was ready, Chen Xia did not express her request to go home.

Instead, he pondered for a few seconds.

Then... he nodded: "My request is very simple. I hope you can live a healthy, safe, happy, and fulfilling life."

"???"

Chen Xue was stunned by those words.

I was truly stunned.

No?

What kind of request is this?

"Brother, why...why would you say such a thing?"

"I suddenly thought of your classmate, so... I want to say... Xiaoxue, you must be strong. No matter what happens, you must live on."

“…………”

To survive?

They will definitely survive.

Even now, thinking back to what she had done not long ago, Chen Xue couldn't help but laugh, feeling that she had been a bit silly back then.

To this… she nodded seriously: “I understand. By the way, brother… where do we go next?”

"This time you made the arrangements; I'm just responsible for following along."

"OK!"

That's enough. As for where to go?

Of course, we should watch a movie.

At this moment, Chen Xue was very excited, not because the movie was good, but because... the two of them were waiting for their seats when they arrived at the movie theater.

Chen Xia was stunned.

Huh?

This seems...likely...to be a couple's sign.

"Are you doing this on purpose?"

"Bro, it's all for research purposes. Besides, don't you want to experience what it's like to sit in a couple's car?"

“…………”

Upon hearing this, Chen Xia couldn't help but swallow hard.

How so?

He was indeed very interested.

After all... he must have heard of couple seats, whether in novels or elsewhere, but he had never had the chance to experience them.

Now is the chance.

Naturally, some research is needed; this is how we gather information.

Correct!

That's how it is.

How so?

Compared to regular seats, the couple seats are much larger, and the backrests are not flat but curved, so you have to lean towards the middle to be comfortable after sitting down.

This will cause men and women to get very close.

besides……

That's the back seat. It seems a bit bigger than I expected. Once you sit in it, you can see ahead, but if you want to see behind you...

It requires a bit of skill.

I have a feeling that this design is a bit unorthodox, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

Compared to Chen Xia's research, Chen Xue was extremely excited.

It's a couple's seat.

the first time.

And it was with his own brother, so he immediately sat down to experience it.

It's a little soft!

It felt nice to sit in, but after leaning back, she found that the chair was a bit uncomfortable and kept sliding to the side. At first, she was complaining about it.

What kind of design is this?

That's rubbish.

But as Chen Xia sat down, and her shoulder touched the other person's because of the curve, her thoughts completely changed. Who said this design was rubbish?

This design is fantastic.

That's what she was thinking, but she still muttered to herself, "This seat... is really uncomfortable..."

"How about we switch seats?"

"this……"

Chen Xue coughed lightly, looking slightly embarrassed, "Since we're already here, we definitely have to watch the whole thing, otherwise the ticket would have been a waste."

“…………”

That's true~

See a movie.

This is a movie directed by a famous director, adapted from the story of the historical general Yue Fei.

The box office was very high.

Chen Xia had a slight expectation for this, and that was indeed her initial thought. However, as the movie started, half an hour had passed.

He actually yawned.

This movie...

It seems a bit boring.

wrong!

Since the box office is so high, there must be something to it; we just haven't seen it yet.

hold on.

Soon~

An hour later, Chen Xia was completely certain that the movie was indeed very boring, but as for why it had such high box office revenue...

To this, he could only say that perhaps it's just a matter of different tastes from person to person.

however……

It's not just Chen Xia.

Chen Xue's attitude was the same, except that she was more straightforward. She started to feel drowsy after only ten minutes, and by thirty minutes she was completely asleep.

Now?

My mouth is already watering.

Seeing this, Chen Xia smiled helplessly, took off her coat, and gently draped it over the other person. It might be like something out of a movie, but... it helps with sleep.

Even if you don't respect the monk, you should respect the Buddha.

I can skip the movie, but disturbing my younger sister's sleep is not a good idea.

That's it~

As time passed, the movie continued.

Ultimately, Chen Xia became completely certain that this movie was not to his liking, and therefore he cared more about a series of other things than the movie itself.

How so?

As the film progressed into its later stages, I kept hearing faint background noises.

I don't quite understand what this is?

Let's begin~

Chen Xia thought it was her imagination, but later found out it wasn't.

at last……

Just as the movie was getting into its second half, Chen Xia finally found the culprit. You see, this was a couples' theater, so most of the people watching the movie were couples.

How so?

He may never have been in a relationship, but he has written novels.

Chen Xia was very clear that

The core of watching a movie isn't the movie itself, but finding a dimly lit scene where men and women are close together, making it easier to get physical and foster feelings.

Once the warm-up is almost over, we can head to the final stop. In comparison... Chen Xia and Chen Xue seem like outcasts, somewhat out of place!

But there's nothing we can do...

Since the two of them chose the couple's seats, they can only try to convince themselves to ignore it.

start……

Perhaps it's acceptable.

kiss.

Salted pig's trotters.

Intimate contact.

I can understand that, but... what are those two people in the corner doing?

start……

The two sat side by side, and the woman lowered her head from behind.

Now?

She sat directly on the man's lap, and she even covered her mouth.

This is……

At first, Chen Xia was a little confused and didn't understand what was going on, but as the actions began, a flash of lightning struck his mind.

In an instant!

Chen Xia seemed to understand something.

No?

Are couples these days so wild, don't they ever hide anything from anyone?

Yes!

He had seen similar jokes online.

I thought it was just a joke.

Reality, however, taught him that life was far more interesting than anything he saw online.

All I can say is... it's better to see more than to learn more. You never know what the people around you are doing, and just when he was dumbfounded and somewhat doubting his life.

Chen Xue actually woke up!

"Brother, what are you looking at?"

"!!!"

(ｷ｀ﾟДﾟ´)!!

Why did you wake up at this time?

Chen Xue also noticed something and curiously looked over, but before she could pinpoint the location, Chen Xia covered her eyes: "This child can't look."

"???"

child?

You're the one who's a child!

Chen Xue was a little angry. If it was just curiosity before, now it was rebellion. The more you forbid me from seeing, the more I want to see. Perhaps Chen Xia was being very strict in her precautions.

But in the end, it couldn't be prevented.

I want to stop it.

But it was too late.

The moment she saw everything, she was completely stunned.

At this moment~

Chen Xue has grown up.
