When their lovely childhood friend returned, they were all in a panic!

Under Bai Ruoxi's gaze, Lu Yuxin stepped in.

She took out a box of chocolates from the bag; it was the same snack Bai Yu had seen in the supermarket earlier.

He walked up to her and handed it to her.

"Ruoxi, here are the snacks we just bought at the supermarket."

Looking at the box of chocolates, Bai Ruoxi accepted it, but still felt a little strange.

If it was normal for Sister Lu to come over for a meal yesterday, then today is very unusual.

It's as if they deliberately chose to come to my home.

"Thank you, Sister Lu."

Bai Ruoxi expressed her gratitude, but her attention remained focused on Lu Yuxin.

Her intuition told her that something was very wrong.

"Then I'll go prepare the meal." Lu Yuxin chuckled and walked into the kitchen carrying the groceries she had just bought at the supermarket.

Seeing her senior go into the kitchen, Bai Yu subconsciously stepped forward to go in and help.

However, she stopped him as soon as he reached the door.

"Little one, why don't you watch TV with your sister for a while? I can do it myself," she said softly.

"I'm helping my senior wash the vegetables..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Yuxin stuffed a box of chocolates into his arms.

Those were snacks bought at the supermarket; he got one box, and his sister got one box.

"Sweetie, stay and watch TV with your sister. I'll call you when it's time to eat."

Lu Yuxin said gently, once again tactfully declining Bai Yu's request.

Under her insistence, Bai Yu could no longer pester her and accepted the box of chocolates.

Just as he left the kitchen doorway and walked towards the sofa, he couldn't help but look back.

The senior student was busy preparing the groceries she had just bought, working alone in the kitchen.

What she said sounded very familiar.

Bai Yu recalled the days before her parents divorced.

Although the housekeeper usually takes care of the cooking at home, my mother will occasionally take the opportunity to go into the kitchen herself.

It seems they are all very enthusiastic about being good to the people they care about.

Back then, I also said I wanted to help my mother.

At first, Mom was quite happy to hear this, but she still bent down, touched her head, and spoke gently:

"Xiaoyu, Mom can do it herself. Sit down and get ready to eat. And while you're at it, call your dad..."

Bai Yu blinked, the kitchen in her memory and the kitchen now overlapped.

It's been a long time since I've felt this way.

My senior is so nice...

With these thoughts in mind, he strolled back to the sofa and naturally sat down next to Bai Ruoxi.

Just as I sat down on the sofa, that petite figure next to me leaned on my shoulder.

Looking at her profile, you could see Bai Ruoxi blinking, seemingly eating something.

However, her eyes weren't as puffy as before, so it seems she hasn't been staying up late much.

"What's wrong?"

Bai Yu felt something was off and asked.

"Brother, why is Sister Lu here at our house today?"

Bai Ruoxi lowered her voice to a very low level, as if she were whispering in his ear.

Because she knew that there were some things she couldn't let Sister Lu hear.

Otherwise, it would be bad if there were any misunderstandings.

In her memory, both her brother and Sister Lu were very kind and important people.

"Oh? Ruoxi, you don't like it?"

Bai Yu misunderstood and felt a pang of anxiety.

Could it be that my sister's unhealthy possessiveness has returned?

My sister, who finally became more benign, can't turn into a harpy girl again.

"No, I'm just a little confused." Bai Ruoxi shook her head and asked Bai Yu curiously:

"It's strange, was it Sister Lu who wanted to come on her own, or was it Brother who brought her back?"

At this point, Bai Yu blushed and felt a little embarrassed to answer.

Although it was my senior who offered to come, I was quite happy and didn't intend to refuse.

Does this mean I wanted her to come?

"Uh... I just happened to be passing by."

Therefore, he gave an ambiguous answer.

Listening to her brother's words and seeing his awkward manner, Bai Ruoxi understood what was going on.

Tsk, my brother is such a womanizer.

He's probably interested in Lu Jie too.

and......

Bai Ruoxi looked at Lu Yuxin, who was busy alone in the kitchen.

I feel like Sister Lu also has feelings for Brother Lu.

Will we have to add another one? Doesn't that mean I'll have to spend even less time with my brother?

Sigh... My brother is such a womanizer.

"Brother, eat."

After thinking it over, Bai Ruoxi broke off a piece of her own chocolate and, without asking Bai Yu if he wanted some, stuffed it directly into his mouth.

"Hmm... what is this?"

Bai Yu was startled, and by the time she realized what was happening, the sweetness in her mouth had melted away.

"Sister Lu bought it, you have one too, brother, the one you're holding is it."

"Oh, oh."

"How is it?"

"sweet."

Bai Yu spoke from the bottom of his heart.

"What about Sister Lu?" Bai Ruoxi blinked.

"Ruoxi, why are you asking this?"

Bai Yu looked at her younger sister with a strange expression.

"curious."

"What are you curious about?"

"It's nothing, I'm just curious." Bai Ruoxi blinked her innocent eyes and leaned closer to Bai Yu's shoulder.

"Tsk, kids shouldn't be so curious about adult matters."

Bai Yu resorted to the tactic of relying on his seniority.

Although he is only about a year older than Bai Ruoxi.

"When will you... make me an adult too, brother?"

Bai Ruoxi spoke in a quirky way, and wrapped her arms around one of his arms.

Just like how she used to cling to him, this was also her favorite way of being together.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu's expression changed, and she panicked.

"Ruoxi, don't think about those messy things right now..."

"Oh, I know! I can recite the whole thing from memory. We are—"

At this point, Bai Ruoxi was about to demonstrate her memorization skills.

He had just recited three words when Bai Yu interrupted him.

"Alright, alright, Ruoxi, stop nagging."

"Oh dear, I already told you~ If you feel bad about it, just think of me as your childhood friend."

Bai Ruoxi rubbed her little head against his shoulder, her voice becoming sweet and coquettish, as if she were pleading.

"We grew up together, we're not related by blood, isn't that what childhood sweethearts are? It's just that I like to call you 'brother'..."

"Ruoxi, why do you think about these things all the time?"

"Because I like it—"

Bai Ruoxi deliberately prolonged her voice a little, but it was still very soft.

"Brother~"

"Even Sister Lu couldn't persuade me, so brother, just give up! Can you spend some time with me this weekend?"

As she said this, she blinked her pitiful eyes.

"My brother doesn't have a single weekend that belongs to me."
