Fox Demon: Why did your brother beat you up every day at the beginning of the month?

Dongfang Haoyang took several fragrant meat buns out of his storage bag and placed them in front of Tu Shan Yaya.

Ya Ya's hands trembled as she reflexively took the meat bun, tears streaming down her face.

"This is……"

"I learned this cooking technique from my aunt's house, but I can only make it about 7-8% similar. Miss Ya Ya, please try it and see how it tastes."

Looking at Dongfang Haoyang's sincere and gentle smile, Tu Shan Ya Ya thought of the villagers. Her eyes gradually reddened, and tears kept falling and hitting the ground. Soon, the little fox demon, feeling guilty, burst into tears, crying her eyes out.

Dongfang Haoyang didn't say a word the whole time, but simply used tissues and handkerchiefs to wipe away the tears and snot from her lovely face.

He knew about the massacre in Daoxiang Village, and it remained the deepest thorn in Tushan Yaya's heart.

If it's not removed, she might develop inner demons and eventually be tormented by guilt.

Only by venting like this can she regain her former lively and cheerful personality.

Tu Shan Ya Ya wiped away the tears that kept sliding down her face with her fair and delicate hands, took a bite of the meat bun that was exactly the same as the one made by Aunt Li, and her big eyes were already filled with tears.

That stinky cockroach lied to her again; it clearly looked exactly like her, but she insisted on saying it was seven or eight parts similar.

Yes, she hated herself. How could she have been so careless? Those villagers who had been with her for years and regarded her as family should not have died. She could have saved them.

They themselves caused this tragic consequence; their arrogance led to their deaths at the hands of the giant bear demon king…

"The fault wasn't yours to begin with, so why are you torturing yourself like this..."

"You don't need to comfort me, you stinky cockroach. This time it was all my arrogance and overconfidence that caused this, but the price is their lives..."

"Why, why wasn't it me who died? Why did you only save me...?"

"Why... did you let me live, yet leave me to watch the corpses of those kind villagers? Was it to remind me of my mistakes?!"

Tu Shan Ya Ya's eyes were filled with anger, and tears kept sliding down her face as she looked down at the ground.

But a hand gently patted her shoulder.

Tu Shan Ya Ya remained motionless, still trembling and crying, when that hand patted her shoulder again.

Ya Ya slowly raised her head. Dongfang Haoyang did not comfort her. He just looked up at the night sky. Her gaze was also drawn to the boy's eyes. She slowly looked up at the night sky, which was as bright as a sea of ​​stars.

"Look how beautiful the stars are today."

The human and the demon remained silent, simply gazing at the shimmering sea of ​​stars in the sky.

"My mother told us that when we are sad, we should look up at the night sky and the sadness will pass."

"Perhaps those villagers have turned into stars, watching over Miss Ya Ya from the night sky. Like me, they never blamed Miss Ya Ya..."

"So, can you smile? After all, Miss Ya Ya's smile is really cute."

"How can you laugh at a time like this, you idiot..."

Dongfang Haoyang felt a slight heaviness in his chest, as Tu Shan Ya Ya's little head gently rested against his chest.

With a complex emotion in her eyes, she slowly took a meat bun from the bag in Haoyang's hand and took a small bite.

"Hmph... This is awful, nowhere near as good as Aunt Li's..."

"Is that so? I'll be more careful in the future. If Miss Ya Ya wants to eat it, she can come to me anytime."

Upon hearing this, Tu Shan Ya Ya remained silent for a moment, looked at the meat bun in her hand with a small crescent-shaped notch, pursed her lips, and slowly uttered two words with emotion in her heart.

"..."

"Thanks……"

"You're welcome. We're just like sworn enemies."

Dongfang Haoyang smiled brightly, rested his chin on his hand, and glanced at Ya Ya, whose cheeks were gradually turning red.

He then turned his gaze to the vast starry sky, and as he looked at the bright stars, his thoughts drifted into the distance.

Perhaps among these vast stars, two are the transformations of their parents.

Suddenly Haoyang felt a weight on his shoulder. He was slightly startled and turned around to see a small head with folded ears gently nestled on his shoulder.

Ya Ya looked shy, her lips pursed, her eyes filled with unease and fear. She was afraid the boy would reject her.

At some point, this stinky cockroach became her source of emotional support, just like her all-powerful older sister.

Leaning against him, Ya Ya felt a strange sense of security.

"Can I borrow your shoulder for a bit? You don't mind, do you?"

"The first time is free, but there will be a charge next time."

Tu Shan Ya Ya pouted and pinched the soft flesh on Dongfang Haoyang's waist.

"You still charge me money?!"

"Just kidding, it'll always be free for you."

Dongfang Haoyang chuckled and dodged Ya Ya's pinching hand.

He could only joke like this with his good-for-nothing younger brother, his sweet and gentle Rongrong, and this "nemesis".

In daily life, he needs to remain rational because younger brothers can make mistakes, but older brothers cannot. Therefore, he usually displays a serious and reserved demeanor and his words must be appropriate.

"Hmph! You stinking cockroach, you've even learned to deceive demons."

Dongfang Haoyang shrugged, a doting smile on his face.

"Sigh, I still prefer your rebellious self, Miss Ya Ya. Can you revert to your old self?"

"Stop being so glib! You stinky cockroach!"

Tu Shan Ya Ya lightly punched Dongfang Hao Yang, spat lightly, and her eyes regained their original lively spirit.

"Don't think I'll be grateful to you for this. If you lay a hand on Rongrong, I won't let you off the hook!"

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Haoyang rested his chin on his hand, gazed at the full moon, pondered for a moment, and continued.

"Miss Rongrong and I are now in a marriage of convenience; I am now her childhood sweetheart..."

Tu Shan Ya Ya pursed her lips, remaining silent, and simply leaned on Hao Yang's shoulder, looking up at the vast starry sky.

Her bright eyes reflected a dazzling sea of ​​stars.

"If it's Rongrong... I can barely accept it..."

Dongfang Haoyang was slightly stunned. If he hadn't misheard, Miss Ya Ya seemed to have said something quite extraordinary...

Tu Shan Ya Ya was so shy that she stopped leaning on Dongfang Haoyang's shoulder and turned her back to him. The two of them sat back to back, so of course they couldn't hug each other.

Tu Shan Ya Ya covered her bright red face. She didn't even know how she managed to say those words. She was so embarrassed!

I imagined Ya Ya burying her head, which was red to the roots of her ears, between her legs, her expression full of shyness.

"If Miss Ya Ya is unwilling, there's no need to force her. How about this, let's give each other some time to think it over..."

They say you're destined to be enemies for life, not to become sworn enemies. If I really marry her, this little sly fox will eat me out of house and home. Besides, what if marrying her is the worst luck imaginable?!

Of course, this was all a joke; Haoyang didn't really think that way.

Dongfang Haoyang's gaze softened, and he smiled slightly, gazing at the dazzling sea of ​​stars as he murmured tenderly.

"Miss Ya Ya must have already known about the arranged marriage."

"Rongrong told me everything..."

"Is that so... I understand."

In other words, Tu Shan Ya Ya knows that she is Miss Rong Rong's childhood sweetheart, and she even came to find her, which means she has already made up her mind...

Completely sever ties with yourself.

After all, she's his own sister; there's only one possible outcome to this situation.

Dongfang Haoyang's smile widened, but he felt a slight sense of disappointment.

But this is probably the best ending...

"Miss Ya Ya, if you ever feel sad in the future, you can come to my place anytime for steamed buns."

"Stinky cockroaches..."

"I'll give you a 50% discount."

"..."

"However, my future identity can only be that of Miss Rongrong's childhood sweetheart. Miss Yaya should understand this, right?"

"..."

Dongfang Haoyang looked up and smiled slightly, gazing at the starry sky, feeling a sense of relief.

"..."

Tu Shan Ya Ya remained silent, pursed her lips, and lowered her head. Her brown, folded ears curled up slightly and gradually stood upright.

"Rongrong... agreed."

"Why?!"

"I said..." Tu Shan Ya Ya said, her face turning red with embarrassment as she covered her face, bursting into impotent rage.

"Ugh! You stinky cockroach, just close your eyes!"

"Um, wait, I'm getting a little confused. Is this Miss Ya Ya's wish...?"

"Yes! I'm going to use it once!"

"Okay, fine."

Dongfang Haoyang was still a little dazed, but when he caught a glimpse of Tu Shan Ya Ya's shy expression, which was already red to the roots of her ears, he calmed down a bit and slowly closed his eyes in a daze.

"Don't even think about sneaking a kiss on me."

Dongfang Haoyang opened one eye and gave Tu Shanya a playful smile.

"Pervert! Who would do that?! Shameless!"

"Close your eyes, or I'm ignoring you!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Dongfang Haoyang smiled, raised his head, and gently closed his eyes.

"Hmm, since I'm in a good mood, I'll specially allow you to draw a..." on my face.

Before Dongfang Haoyang could finish speaking, his mouth was blocked. It was still that cool and soft touch, but because his technique was a bit clumsy, his teeth collided. The second experience was not very good.

When Dongfang Haoyang opened his eyes, Tushan Yaya had turned her head away, covered her face, and buried her head in her knees.

Haoyang's eyes held a hint of helplessness, and his face flushed slightly, after all, it seemed that he had been the one being forced both times...

"Miss Ya Ya..."

"Old man, I didn't kiss you! Just now... just now was to retaliate!"

"You kissed me last time too, so come back this time. We're even now..."
