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

Are you secretly pleased?

A little.

He may have written a lot of novels featuring younger sisters, but many of the actions in them are products of fantasy or were learned from other novels.

Either you need to source materials.

such as……

Xue Gongzi was one of the key sources of inspiration.

Many of his suggestions really resonated with XP, making it feel like I was right there with him.

But fantasy is just fantasy.

Even if it's written very realistically, it's still fantasy. It doesn't have the same depth of feeling as real-life experience. And that's pretty much how it is now. Chen Xia doesn't have many wonderful ideas.

But it's also good as material.

Besides, who would develop strange feelings for their own sister? He's not a pervert.

Correct!

That's how it is.

Chen Xia said expectantly, "Xiaoxue, come on... sit down and feel it. I'll adjust the angle so it will be more comfortable."

“…………”

Chen Xue's pale face was filled with confusion.

the first time!

This was the first time she had felt completely lost.

sit?

I still won't sit.

Ultimately, she chose the former, perhaps somewhat speechless at her brother's behavior, but if it meant experiencing the treatment of a leading lady.

That's not bad either.

I have to say... looking at my brother adjusting, preparing, and arranging everything beside me, he really does resemble the male lead.

Chen Xue is very light, weighing only about 70 pounds. The wheelchair is also of good quality, and there is no resistance when pushing it. After confirming that there were no problems,

Chen Xia nodded: "Xiaoxue, get in the car... it's time for us to set off."

"what?"

Looking at the car and the wheelchair, she looked a little confused. She thought they were going to push her around, but who would have thought... they would have to drive.

Chen Xia noticed the look in her eyes and gently flicked her forehead.

It doesn't hurt!

But... it's infuriating.

"???"

"Our home is in the development zone, which is 40 kilometers away from Zhongshan District where Donggang is located. We definitely have to drive there; we can't just take the subway, can we?"

“…………”

Chen Xue didn't speak, but nodded blankly.

That's considered an agreement.

Seeing this, Chen Xia shook his head helplessly. It seemed that his younger sister's condition was still very serious, but he believed that sincerity could move mountains.

Take it easy.

It will be alright.

The wheelchair was placed in the trunk, and the Beetle started moving.

The two began their first day of travel.

Actually, Chen Xue wasn't interested in where they were going; she just wanted to experience the treatment of a leading lady. However... after getting on the bus, she still became curious.

Beetle?

Pink!

This isn't unacceptable, but why is the style inside also pink?

Could it be... that my older brother has a girlish heart?

I don't know why...

Chen Xue wouldn't think much about other things, nor would she want to, but when it came to Chen Xia, it would generate different divergent thinking.

just like……

It's like a switch.

This feeling is amazing.

While pondering these thoughts, Chen Xue's gaze involuntarily fell upon Chen Xia, and he... naturally noticed them as well.

His family asked him to take care of his younger sister, so he must take good care of her.

Even while driving, I'll occasionally glance at it.

So……

Every time you look at someone, you can feel their gaze. Once or twice might not mean much, but if it happens repeatedly, the feeling becomes completely different.

No?

Why is Chen Xue staring at me?

You might not think too much about it at first, but what happens over time?

What if it happens too many times?

In this situation, it was hard for Chen Xia not to overthink. He began to reflect on his actions over the past few days, and it seemed that he hadn't done anything wrong.

quickly!

He seemed to have figured it out.

Did that look in his eyes start after he got on the bus?

wrong!

Before getting in the car, and after entering the garage, but it wasn't that strong then. Thinking about it, Chen Xia understood the root of the problem: it was this car.

Beetle!

A classic Volkswagen model.

Because of its appearance, it is very popular among female car owners. However, when this style is applied to Chen Xia, it does look a little out of place.

This is also the reason why Chen Xue's eyes look strange.

"This car isn't mine."

"what?"

"My mom bought this last year for transportation, but she's busy with work and doesn't drive it much, so it ended up in my hands."

"(⊙o⊙)..."

Chen Xia's mother?

Second Aunt?

Considering her personality, buying this kind of car seems reasonable. After getting the answer, Chen Xue stopped talking, and the two did not take the highway.

Instead, they took the national highway.

Since the two of them didn't have any ulterior motives, they deliberately took a longer route.

Bohai Avenue

This is a national highway standing on the sea, offering views of the Bohai Sea along the way. As they passed by, Chen Xia deliberately opened a crack in the window.

A salty sea breeze swept over me.

Chen Xue was in a daze and was caught off guard.

Her hair was already a bit dry and yellow.

just now……

It was blown into disarray.

"Ah~"

"Look! The sea..."

"!!!"

Chen Xue was a little angry; she was certain... the other party was doing it on purpose.

But... the ocean?

It stretches as far as the eye can see, as if it merges with the sky.

They clearly live by the sea.

but……

It seemed like she hadn't seen the sea in a long time.

The sea is vast.

The sky was very blue.

The wind is warm.

She tidied her hair, which had been ruffled by the sea breeze, looked at the sea view outside the window, and then at Chen Xia in the driver's seat. Comparing the two, the latter was more intriguing.

"Brother~"

"What's wrong?"

"N-nothing..."

Chen Xue didn't continue speaking, but instead shifted her gaze elsewhere. However, this state only lasted for a few seconds before her gaze returned to him once again.

peep?

I guess so.

Chen Xia noticed the gaze but didn't think much of it.

The road isn't far.

But if you have a car, you can reach your destination in less than an hour.

Donggang!

To be precise, this place should be called "Donggang Musical Fountain Square". Compared to the Bohai Sea inland, the Yellow Sea in the outer area offers a more expansive view and clearer water.

taste?

Better.

This is one of the city's well-known tourist attractions.

In the evening, the fountain in the central square will adjust the water spray according to the live music, and the LED remote lights in the square will also start working.

The lights shine on the huge office buildings across the street, creating a unique and beautiful cityscape.

During the day, the situation is a bit worse.

But there are also quite a few people.

And they have their own enjoyment, such as watching the sea, taking photos, and feeding seagulls.

After arriving at the destination.

Chen Xia immediately went to get the wheelchair. Before Chen Xue could make a further move, the car door was opened first, and the other party extended an invitation.

"Get on, I'll push you there..."

“…………”

Look at Chen Xia.

Look at the wheelchair.

Chen Xue hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "I...I...I don't have to."

"Be good~"

"I...I..."

Will you listen to me?

to be frank!

She hated those two words; they always felt like they were commanding, making her very uncomfortable. But for some reason, when those two words came out of Chen Xia's mouth...

She had no intention of resisting whatsoever.

even……

My first thought was to comply.

Chen Xue didn't know why she was acting this way.

It felt as if his older brother possessed some kind of special magic, so he could only nod slightly and... reply with a simple, "Mm."

"That's more like it, let me help you..."

Take the initiative to lend a hand!

The moment her fingers touched her, an unnatural look appeared on Chen Xue's face.

It's bright red!

A small ripple appeared in my heart.

It felt somewhat warm.

She had felt this way before, but those were all one-sided interactions. This time, however, it was mutual communication, and... Chen Xue even felt a desire to explore.

I want to experience it more.

It is a pity.

She had many ideas, while Chen Xia had very few.

As they were pulled into the wheelchair, their hands were separated instantly, which made Chen Xue a little disappointed, but this feeling was only momentary.

It's not that I'm indifferent.

Instead... there's no rush. Anyway, she won't leave, and Chen Xia won't leave either.

Pushing a wheelchair!

Stepping onto the small square, I found that quite a few people had already gathered around.

In twos and threes.

Some people were taking pictures, and others were chatting. The two were headed to the most crowded place, where there were a large group of people and a flock of seagulls.

Everyone was scrambling to feed the animals.

Dried squid.

Small bread.

Grilled meat skewers.

wait wait wait.

I can understand that, but what are you doing, you guy holding up that stinky tofu?

can only say……

this day!

The seagulls witnessed the diversity of human species.

I found a spot with fewer people, where I could see the scenery in front of me. The ocean at the end of May, combined with the warm spring breeze, created a unique and beautiful view.

But unfortunately...

Such scenery still failed to arouse Chen Xue's interest in the slightest.

The sea view is beautiful.

But her empty eyes couldn't possibly appreciate the magical blue of the sea. Just as Chen Xue's mind went blank, a unique salty aroma appeared in front of her.

Before she knew it, a sausage with its outer packaging removed had appeared in front of her.

Look at the sausage.

Look at Chen Xia.

He smiled and gave her an encouraging look. Under that gaze, Chen Xue opened her cherry lips and took a bite.

"???"

This action left Chen Xia completely bewildered.

No?

Little sister, what are you doing?

I'm a little confused!

In this state, Chen Xue was once again puzzled: Was she complaining that she wasn't eating enough? Then... she opened her mouth again.

Finish eating quickly.

Ham sausage?

The taste was so-so, but it was fed by my older brother.

It's good to eat a little bit.

She even deliberately ate in a messy manner, leaving a little crumb at the corner of her mouth, so that... the other person would probably help wipe her mouth.

It was at this moment that Chen Xia finally realized what was happening and said with a mix of amusement and exasperation, "Sis, I told you to feed the seagulls, not to eat them."

"!!!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xue's eyes showed a hint of shock.

No?

You should have said so earlier.

"Then... what should we do?"

"It's alright, it's fine since I ate it. This is a King of Kings ham sausage, it's healthy and hygienic... Besides, I have plenty of these."

"???"

Saying that!

Chen Xia pulled out several sticks from his pocket, along with several pieces of paper. As for what he was going to do with them, it was naturally the scene that Chen Xue was looking forward to.

Wipe your mouth.

Perhaps for Chen Xia, this is just a small step in taking care of her younger sister.

But what about Chen Xue?

She really liked this feeling, but as for why... she couldn't explain it.

Probably~

I must be really sick.

After wiping her clean, Chen Xia nodded: "Girls should be clean and tidy. Since you're in Donggang... you should definitely feed the seagulls before you leave. Come on... give it a try? I'll take a picture of you."

Feeding seagulls?

She wasn't interested.

A strange thought even crossed my mind: instead of feeding the seagulls, why not feed me instead?

That's exactly how it is.

But when it came to taking photos, Chen Xue hesitated a little because the person taking the photos was Chen Xia, and in the end... she nodded.

"Raise the sausage... three, two, one... snap..."

Photo confirmed!

The scenery was beautiful, but Chen Xue didn't seem very lively, and Chen Xia didn't have many thoughts about it either, because he believed that this was just the beginning.

Every day from now on will be better and better.

Photo taken.

Chen Xue immediately put her hand down and quietly placed the unpackaged sausage on her lap.

"What's wrong?"

"I...I have no strength left..."

"???"

No energy?

Looking at Chen Xue's thin body, Chen Xia naturally understood what had happened and couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache. A beautiful young girl in the prime of her life had turned into such a ghastly state.

Damn Hengshui High School.

Some complaints.

But what's done is done, and all we can do is take it slow and recover.

And now...

Chen Xue wanted to continue feeding, but her arm trembled.

"Actually, there's no need to force yourself; just enjoy the scenery."

"I want to do it!"

"Um?"

"That way, my brother can take more photos for me."

Just for this reason?

Seeing Chen Xue's stubborn little eyes, Chen Xia couldn't help but chuckle. Just as his arm was about to fall, he grabbed the girl's wrist.

"!!!"

The sudden action caught Chen Xue off guard.

Feel the temperature of the back of your hand.

Her heart was racing.

"Brother~"

Chen Xue murmured softly, but before she could finish, Chen Xia's voice interrupted, "Look, seagulls are coming! Three, two, one... let go..."

The words fell.

Chen Xue loosened her grip.

The seagull, carrying a sausage in its beak, flew swiftly into the distance.

high speed.

In the blink of an eye, it flew several meters away.

Watching its retreating figure, Chen Xue suddenly realized, "It...it flew away, where is it going?"

"Who knows? Maybe they'll find a secluded spot and enjoy their meal all to themselves."

Chen Xue didn't know what expression to make, and subconsciously murmured, "This seagull...it...it's so selfish?"

"Selfish? You mean the seagull?"

"Hmm, it..."

Chen Xue wanted to say something, but the words were just on the tip of her tongue.

The sound stopped abruptly.

In an instant!

She seemed to have thought of something, and froze on the spot. Instead of continuing to look at the seagulls, she turned to look at Chen Xia, and her eyes held a different meaning.

Is it selfish?

Go find a secluded spot to enjoy your meal.

And what about herself?

Seeing Chen Xue start to stare blankly, Chen Xia asked with a hint of doubt, "Xiao Xue? What's wrong?"

“…………”

Chen Xue opened her mouth, wanting to speak but not knowing how to begin. In the end, all her words turned into an apology: "Brother, I'm sorry..."

"???"

Apologize?

Why apologize?

quickly!

Chen Xia understood.

He probably felt guilty thinking about how he had been taken care of, and he laughed and said, "Why apologize? You're my sister, it's only right that I take care of you."

“…………”

She knew it very well.

That's not what I meant, but it seems... there's no way to explain it.

finally……

She slowly raised her head.

My gaze fell on the distant horizon, where countless seagulls flew over the boundless sea. Each seagull looked almost identical, making them indistinguishable from one another.

Suddenly...

Something occurred to Chen Xue, and she softly called out, "Brother..."

"Um?"

"If one day I disappear... will you come looking for me?"

Chen Xia nodded without hesitation: "Yes!"

"What if we can't find it?"

Chen Xia took a deep breath, her voice firm and her tone unwavering as she said, "I will keep searching until... I find you."

“…………”

silence!

A deathly silence fell; Chen Xue remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.

That's how she is.

Chen Xia is the same.

Now, all they could hear were the cheerful cries of seagulls and the soft murmur of the waves. With the sea breeze blowing, Chen Xue's voice rang out once more: "Brother..."

"Um?"

"Thank you."
