Having found a demon, I've decided to raise her.

Chen Xiao thought for a moment, then said—

"Maybe it's because you're a bit naive?"

"what?"

"If I help too much, it's easy for people to guess some things, but if it's you, I don't have that worry."

"...Chen Xiao!"

Jiajia angrily slapped her hand and said—

"What do you mean? I'll give you another chance."

"...Jiajia is smart and cute." (laughs)

"That last smile was unnecessary! You just wanted to make me look stupid."

Jiajia stomped her foot, but there was nothing she could do. She wished she could find something to use against Chen Xiao sometime, otherwise she would keep being bullied by her.

stomping on...

A young girl walked towards them.

He had dark gray hair, with a tuft of light blue hair tied into a small braid hanging down from his bangs. His eyes had a hint of pale blue, and he wore a leather jacket fastened with many leather buttons.

She noticed the two people walking towards her and nodded to them.

Chen Xiao and Jiajia responded politely.

Then we passed each other by.

Jiajia felt they were too far away and whispered—

Are there more and more strange guys in the area?

"...The security clearance isn't high enough, so it's best not to inquire too much."

It was easy to guess what important project those strange guys had offered, but that had nothing to do with Chen Xiao, and she didn't want to get involved.

It would be terrible if things turned into a situation where I couldn't communicate or meet with my brother because of a confidential project.

She and Jiajia walked out of the experimental area.

As soon as Chen Xiao came out, he took out his phone and saw that the signal had recovered by one bar.

There was no other way; the area was under signal control, and the signal could only be restored in specific locations. Chen Xiao thought to himself, and quickened his pace.

Jiajia was starting to fall behind, so she quickly grabbed her arm and called out—

"Why are you walking so fast? Slow down, are you in a hurry to be reborn?"

However, Chen Xiao did not slow down. Jiajia was hanging on her arm, and she was walking briskly with her.

Jiajia thinks that if Chen Xiao were a man, he would definitely be a clueless straight man who doesn't know how to be considerate of others, the kind who would leave his girlfriend completely out of sight when they walk together.

Chen Xiao looked at his phone signal and said—

"I haven't called my brother for several days. I don't know if he's eating, brushing his teeth, or sleeping properly, or if he's encountered any problems with his shop."

"...Are you his mother?"

He still eats, brushes his teeth, and sleeps... Is it really necessary to care about an adult man to this extent? He's not a child.

Jiajia had, of course, heard Chen Xiao's explanation and about her younger brother. She seemed to get very happy whenever she talked about her brother, from how he used to poop when he was little to how he grew up and worked. She was very talkative.

It's as if once exposed, there's no need to hide it anymore; they openly talk about their younger brother.

Chen Xiao glanced at Jiajia and said—

“I am his sister.”

"I've never seen a sister like you before. To be honest, I can understand lending money, but isn't your behavior a bit too much?"

Jiajia has been busy with experimental equipment these past few days, and now she finally has some free time to think.

Something seems off...

She narrowed her eyes and said—

"Hey, Xiaoxiao, you're not... a brother complex, are you?"

She said it out loud; Jiajia was actually so oblivious to the fact that she brought it up.

Chen Xiao looked at her and thought, "She really is an idiot."

But since he's an idiot, there's no need to hide it, he said—

"That's it."

He readily admitted it.

"Ah, this..."

Jiajia's eyes widened, and she went even further, courting disaster—

"The kind from German orthopedics?"

"...I do want to."

"Wow, that won't work, will it?"

Jiajia, with a terrified expression, said—

"No wonder you look down on everyone, my talented Chen. You are... are you really like this? Even geniuses have some quirks... This won't do, will it?"

"Can't I even think about it?"

Chen Xiao's hair was blown by the night wind as he looked at the road, a hint of melancholy in his eyes.

"Thinking about it won't work either, wouldn't that be too harsh?"

"Forehead……"

Jiajia scratched her head and said—

"I...I don't mean it's bad, but...well, I don't know how to say it..."

"Then don't say it."

Chen Xiao remained as composed as ever, feeling no remorse whatsoever. He stated that his feelings were as they were, and he would not deny it.

Jiajia finally realized she had made a mistake, but her little brain seemed oblivious to the concept of cutting losses in time, and she kept asking questions—

"Hey, so what do you like about your brother?"

"Aren't you tired? Isn't gossiping tiring?"

"I want to know you better, my dearest friend."

"Alright, I'll tell you then, but if I know of any strange rumors circulating..."

Chen Xiao's gaze turned sharp, which startled Jiajia, causing her to shrink back.

She quickly said—

"No, no, I'm very tight-lipped."

Chen Xiao nodded and said—

"It started when I was a child."

"When I was little!?"

"He was small and very cute. He reached out to me, and his hand felt soft and squishy... Then he grew up and became very handsome. He is responsible and works for himself... Although he spends most of his money on in-game purchases, it's good that he can earn his own money."

Chen Xiao paused here.

Jiajia blinked and said—

"End?"

"It's over."

"Hmm? Isn't there anything more exciting in the plot?"

"No, it's all just everyday stuff. I grew up with him, I'm older, so I take care of him."

Chen Xiao let out a soft breath and said—

"Although it was just a series of small things, the memories of being together are very precious in my mind. He was the first person I met, he was my first love, he was my crush..."

His image is everywhere—in my eyes, in my memories.

In this lifetime.

When Jiajia heard her words, it was the first time she had ever seen Chen Xiao with such a gentle expression.

"Hearing you say that, I think I understand you a little better now."

"...Thank you then."

"But I still think it's a bit strange."

"what?"

"If you had ulterior motives from the beginning, wouldn't that be cultivating him from childhood? Is this what you call a child groom?"

"..."

Veins bulged on Chen Xiao's forehead as she smiled at Jiajia. Jiajia, startled by her smile, quickly said—

"I...I was just kidding, Xiaoxiao..."

But it was too late.
