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

We can't just go out like this, can we?

perhaps……

seem……

In the end, Chen Xue shook her head and interrupted her unrealistic idea. Perhaps this would make it easier to eat, but what if her brother got scared?

Or how should I put it?

If her brother were really that casual, she probably wouldn't be so devoted to him.

after all……

He's so good.

But what should we do now?

At this moment~

Chen Xue regretted it.

If she had known this would happen, she should have bought a larger bath towel, so at least she could wrap herself up and go out. Now... she finally made a decision.

I'd better ask for help.

Having my older brother bring the clothes over doesn't seem like a bad idea.

All you need to do is open a small gap.

Just bring the clothes in.

this is okay too.

Moreover, this kind of plot often appears in novels, and it is even a necessary step for the male and female protagonists to develop an ambiguous relationship. It seems a bit early here.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

Actually, for the two of them, it didn't matter whether it was sooner or later. However, just as Chen Xue finalized her plan, just as she was about to speak...

A knock on the door suddenly sounded.

"Ah~"

Really!

The sound startled Chen Xue, because it was knocking in the bathroom. If it wasn't a guest, then it was... her own brother.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

"Your change of clothes are outside, remember to wear them... There are no eggs at home, I'll go downstairs to buy some."

"???"

No?

I haven't said it yet.

Why did my own brother come?

Is this what they call telepathy?

However, what really bothered Chen Xue was the last sentence: even if there were no eggs at home, it wasn't necessary to buy them at this time.

Is this a reminder that no one is home?

You can come out.

With the sound of the door opening and closing, peace returned outside. Chen Xue tentatively opened the door as well, and sure enough... a pair of shoes was missing from the entryway.

My older brother went out.

Chen Xue had a slight complaint about this. Why did he have to go out? Actually, it wouldn't have mattered if he hadn't gone out, even if Chen Xia saw him naked.

She wouldn't mind in the slightest, because her brother was special.

There's nothing I can do about it~

Who can resist his charm? He's so good, so irresistible.

Hee hee hee.

at the same time……

Chen Xia naturally didn't know Chen Xue's thoughts. As for whether he knew the truth or not, he could only say that... there was some truth and some falsehood. The first part was true. While washing cherries, he suddenly remembered his younger sister's situation.

I took off my clothes and went into the bathroom, and then... that was it.

There were no clean clothes at all.

In any situation, one should naturally prepare accordingly. As for the eggs, he originally didn't want to go downstairs, thinking he might as well order Meituan delivery.

result?

Fifteen eggs for fifteen yuan.

So expensive!

In this situation, Chen Xia still chose to go downstairs, since there was a fresh food supermarket not far away, and it wasn't very far, just a few steps away.

I bought it to make breakfast tomorrow.

Eggs~

I bought the 15 yuan ones directly.

There might not be an exact number, but it definitely exceeded thirty. It was better to go downstairs to buy them. Besides, I not only bought eggs, but also some other snacks.

They even went to the pedestrian street nearby and bought two cups of milk tea.

after all……

There's a little glutton in my family.

Some people might say that eating too much milk tea and snacks is unhealthy, but who can blame them when the other person loves to eat them?

Come back home.

Come back home.

Carrying my things back, the journey was fine.

But who would have thought...

Upon arriving at his doorstep, Chen Xia discovered something truly alarming: in his haste to go downstairs, he had forgotten his keys. It was at this moment that the advantage of having someone home became apparent.

Knock directly on the door.

"Open the door, open the door..."

result?

No one answered.

What's going on?

After another round of knocking, just as Chen Xia was about to make a phone call, the door finally opened.

Welcome back.

"Xiaoxue, you..."

Chen Xia originally wanted to ask her younger sister what she was doing and why she hadn't opened the door for so long.

But he only got halfway through his sentence.

He noticed something. At this moment, his younger sister's face seemed a little red, and her eyes were also a little unfocused. Chen Xia was a little puzzled by this.

"What happened to you? Your face is so red. Are you sick?"

"this……"

Chen Xue avoided eye contact, as for the reason...

She knew it very well.

How so?

Besides tomorrow's showdown, there's also today's sleep-inducing operation.

But to prevent her brother from refusing, Chen Xue came up with a plan: to act first and ask for permission later, and go to her brother's room to sleep. Once she fell asleep, she could do whatever she wanted.

There was nothing Chen Xia could do.

That way, her plan could be completely completed, but who would have thought... After lying down, she not only felt no sleepiness at all, but even noticed some smells on the bed.

Ah!

The taste of my brother.

Just as they were completely absorbed in their activity, a knock on the door interrupted them.

At this time...

Chen Xue then realized what was happening.

Feel sorry!

brother.

Your younger sister is a bad child.

After hurriedly tidying everything up, she rushed to open the door, and that's how things turned out. As for the reason, Chen Xue knew very well.

But can I say that?

No!

Since my brother asked...

She made up an excuse: "I just took a shower, and I thought I felt cool, so I turned off the air conditioner, so... I'm a little hot now."

That's all~

She regretted it.

(ｷ｀ﾟДﾟ´)!!

What a ridiculous reason.

result?

Chen Xia actually believed it.

After entering the room and feeling the temperature of the living room, he nodded seriously: "It is indeed hot."

"???"

No?

Did you really believe that?

Actually, this reason is not wrong, because the living room air conditioner has indeed been turned off. You know, it's summer now, and it's the hottest day of the year in Dalian.

It's nice and cool when the air conditioner is on, but if you turn it off, everything will return to normal in three minutes at most, so it's not surprising that this happens.

Chen Xia didn't think too much about it and instead showed her what she had in her hand: "Look! These are the snacks I bought for you, and this milk tea, it's warm... perfect for girls to drink in the summer."

Hearing this, Chen Xue breathed a sigh of relief.

fine……

fine……

They managed to fool them.

She immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, brother. You're the best."

"Try it."

"good!"

Chen Xue naturally wouldn't refuse; these were bought by her brother, and besides... she needed to replenish her fluids. Chen Xia simply placed all the snacks on the coffee table.

You can eat whatever you want directly.

After sitting down, Chen Xue immediately moved closer to him.

This has become their daily routine. In the past, they might have resisted it a little, but now... they've gotten used to it.

Perhaps because she had just taken a shower, or for some other reason, Chen Xue had a peculiar smell about her.

fragrance?

Not quite.

But it always smells really good.

"Brother, what are you smelling?"

"My little sister smells nice, probably because she just had a bath..."

I'll take that as a compliment.

Chen Xue responded with a smile.

But at the same time... she had some doubts.

Do I smell good?

Nothing.

Could it be that my brother smelled it wrong?

I don't quite understand.

Instead of thinking about these pointless things, we should enjoy life now. Perhaps we can still enjoy it in the future, whether we like it or not.

They will be separated for a period of time.

Thinking of this~

Chen Xue felt a pang of sadness. She had initially been leaning on his shoulder, but his position gradually shifted to her chest, and not the back of his head, but... his face...

"Xiaoxue, what's wrong with you...?"

"Brother, if I leave, will you miss me? Will you forget me? When we meet again, will you no longer care about me?"

"???"

In an instant!

Chen Xia was stunned for a moment. He never expected his younger sister to ask such a question, but considering Chen Xue's special circumstances, he seemed to understand why she would ask such a question.

He immediately laughed and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Let's not talk about the future, let's talk about the present. The last time we met was in 2024."

"We didn't see each other for two years, and now we meet again. Things are still the same. So... true care doesn't diminish with time."

"Therefore... no matter how time goes by, no matter what happens in between, you will always be my sister, my only sister. How could I, as your older brother, not love you?"

Is that so?

It seems...that's how it is...

At this moment~

A fire, unlike anything seen before, shone in Chen Xue's eyes. If just a moment ago she might have had a sliver of lingering concerns, now...

It's completely gone.

Yes!

No matter what, I am his only sister, and he will always love me. So all I need to do is move forward, make my own decisions, and then... embrace the beautiful future that belongs to both of us.

"I see."

Chen Xue nodded, then stood up. After taking a few steps, she turned back and smiled, "Brother, it's getting late. Let's go to bed early. We have to go hiking tomorrow."

"!!!"

Yes.

climb mountains.

Although I said I'd climb the mountain tomorrow, if I really want to, it should be early tomorrow morning, because the sea of ​​clouds only appears for a short period in the morning.

If they were experienced hikers, they could go at four in the morning, but since they were both beginners, it was better to go earlier rather than later. They immediately nodded: "Okay! Let's go to bed early... and wash up first..."

"Hmm~"

Brush your teeth and wash your face.

As Chen Xia returned to her room, she was still thinking about what to bring for tomorrow.

Is there anything you've forgotten?

originally……

That's exactly what I was thinking.

But suddenly he discovered something.

Wait ~

He felt like there was someone behind him, and as he turned around, he saw a furtive figure, and it was none other than himself.

It was her own younger sister.

Seeing her tiptoeing and deliberately minimizing her footsteps, Chen Xia's confusion deepened, and she couldn't help but ask, "Why are you following me?"

"Huh? This..."

"What's up?"

"this……"

How so?

Perhaps it was planned from the beginning.

But when it actually started, even she was a little nervous. In the end... Chen Xue gritted her teeth and said that she was going all out.

He immediately took a deep breath: "Brother, I want to sleep with you again tonight!"
