Faced with the blackened heroine, they actually stopped time

"Don't be nervous. I didn't investigate you. I just saw the way you looked at that girl. I know exactly how you look when you watch your sister perform. It's just like the way I looked when I watched Lily dance on the stage. I was expectant, nervous, and happy."

Is this woman real or fake? Can you read her eyes?

Oreki Gen didn't hesitate too much. Even if he was cautious, he couldn't be too obvious.

"She's my sister, Oreki Sakura, what's wrong?"

Qingye Liang said softly: "Nothing, I just want to ask you, if you and your sister were in the same relationship as Lily and I are now, how would you feel?"

Oreki Gen understood what the other party meant and tried to use empathy to make her agree to help her?

He smiled and said, "It's hard for me to imagine something that hasn't happened... But I will probably solve it all myself. I always believe that as long as people can communicate with each other, they can solve most problems. What will remain is probably the deep hatred."

Qingye Liang let the smoke cover his eyes. The young man seemed to be in a hazy state.

But it still cannot conceal his charm and uniqueness.

It's hard to imagine that he has such charm at this age. What kind of man will he become in the future? I think I can understand yuri...

"Of course I know, so I hope you can be the bridge of communication. I won't ask you to do anything that is too difficult, such as helping us establish communication opportunities as much as possible. I can also teach you those fighting skills, swordsmanship, and various physical skills."

Are you Mr. Kai? Here comes the taijutsu...

The other party's request does not seem excessive, and the value in return is enough to make me excited.

But Oreki Gen shook his head.

"Manager Qingye is my boss. If I do something like this and make her unhappy, I won't even have the chance to work... I don't want to be unemployed."

Qingye Liang smiled slightly.

"Don't worry about that. She is special to you, so she doesn't want to let you leave the convenience store. If you don't believe me, you can go back and test it out, and then tell me whether you want to agree to this exchange."

Oreki Gen thought for a moment and said, "Let's talk about it when we get back... I definitely can't promise you now."

"I know."

As she spoke, she took a puff of cigarette, as if everything was within her expectations. She had no intention of making this happen right now, but the other party's change in attitude was a gain.

Oreki Gen didn't completely believe what the other party said. It would be troublesome for him to take care of such household affairs, so he was just making a temporary excuse.

When I returned to Sakura City, I still had a lot of things to do and I was too busy to handle it.

Looking at the woman smoking in front of me.

Leaning against the tree and looking at the stars seemed a bit lonely and desolate, which made Oreki Xian couldn't help but think.

How does a woman live when she is caught between her sister and her father?

The thing that is somewhat similar to me is that she is not my biological sister, but what is different about her is that there is a huge gap between them.

It seems that there is a part that is not written in the story, or even outside the narration, which makes people feel particularly soft-hearted.

She is a person who is just like herself, and has a sense of responsibility towards her loved ones.

"If everything is fine, I'll go back first. I don't want to keep them waiting too long."

Qingye Liang hummed.

"I know. By the way, your sister is very beautiful and cute."

"...Thanks."

"No matter what happens between you, don't be like Lily and I, thinking that time will solve everything... Time does seem to cover up the cracks, but when you think it's been long enough and everything should be fine, you find that... you can no longer open your mouth to make up for what you want."

Oreki Gen knew that this was her personal experience.

But it also made Oreki Gen confused.

What was Kiyono Yuri, her own store manager, feeling at that time?

How did she get through it all on her own and become what she is now, full of energy and vitality, and as cheerful as if she would never fall down?

"Go back and have a rest early, Officer Qingye, and remember to put out your cigarette. Goodbye."

The young man walked away from Qingye Liang with steady steps.

Qingye Liang looked at the boy's back as he left.

Then he smiled bitterly and shook his head.

She put out the cigarette and stopped talking about the past. Instead, she talked to herself in a self-deprecating manner.

"It's really weird and special... Lily has good taste."

Oreki Gen returned to his parents and the two girls.

It didn't waste too much time, and I still used the excuse that I suddenly felt uncomfortable in my stomach.

You can see that the parents are very happy.

After Oreki Sakura finished such an important matter, she felt a lot more relaxed.

He was jumping around all the way, like a child who had just started summer vacation, so innocent and cute that it was indescribable.

But how could she know that the girl she had always provoked and disliked did such a thing with her own abilities?

Sakuraba Mitsuki didn't seem to care at all whether his rare kindness was received or not.

Because she was looking at Oreki Gen, staring at him all the way.

The boy felt a little scared because of the stare.

Finally, I couldn't help asking, "What are you looking at?"

Sakuraba Jianyue asked directly: "What were you doing before?"

I knew it...Zhemu Xian said helplessly: "I went to the toilet."

Sakuraba Jianyue sneered: "You can lie to others, but don't lie to yourself. You know whether you went to the toilet or not."

Oreki Xian said helplessly: "Why don't you go back to the bathroom and check?"

"...nausea."

Sakuraba Kentsuki turned her head away in disgust, and when Oreki Gen thought he had relaxed, he heard her low voice.

"Explain it to me in the evening."

at night?

Isn't it evening now? Or... later in the evening?

Oreki Xian's legs felt a little weak.

Good man, are you here to listen to my explanation? I am too embarrassed to point it out to you!

Of course, Oreki Gen went home and pretended to be dead.

Just lie on the bed and lock your door. No matter what happens outside, just pretend that you are dead tonight.

I just didn't expect that less than five minutes had passed.

His cell phone lit up. It was a message... but it wasn't from Sakuraba Mitsuki, it was from... his own sister, Oreki Sakura.

[Brother, are you asleep? Can I come to your room now? ]

What does this mean...

(I owe 30 chapters, and I have paid 27 chapters~~~ It's another day with three chapters, so dedicated! But why do I have to pay back all the extra chapters? I have updated quite a few chapters, so how come there are no votes? Or did you vote for someone else? Huh?!)

25: If not forever...

The night seems exceptionally quiet.

It seems as if everything is sleeping, everything should fall into a deep sleep, and then gradually wake up at the next dawn.

But is this really the case? Obviously not, there are too many things stirring and disturbing people's dreams.

Especially text messages like this are embarrassing.

Oreki Gen didn't reply immediately. He hesitated for a moment. What could his sister do in his room at this time? He immediately thought of women like Sakuraba Mitsuki and Kikyo Satomi... Wait, this is his sister, how could she be like them?

At this time, new information came.

[You are about to go back to Sakura City, I want to tell you something...]

If the other party said this, Oreki Gen had no choice. After all, he didn't know when they would meet again, and he might not come back every semester.

More importantly...don't let anything unexpected happen to me, or I'll really fall into the hands of those women.

[I just fell asleep. I'll go to your place. ]

Of course, Oreki Gen didn't let the other party come to his room. What if Sakuraba Mitsuki really came to his room on a whim? Wouldn't that be a big disaster?

As for her guessing where I went when she couldn't find me, that's fine. It's also reasonable for her to say that I went to the toilet. Anyway, with her patience, she can't wait for me for long.

Oreki Gen stood up and quickly left his room, then found Oreki Sakura's door and gently pushed it.

The door was not locked and opened easily.

The bedside lamp in the room was slightly on, lighting up a small area.

Oreki Sakura's room was clean and tidy, and it was filled with a light fragrance belonging to a young girl, just like a green apple, sweet and green.

The girl was sitting beside the bed. She was wearing a white nightgown with a little bear logo on her chest. Her mostly fair skin looked crystal clear and charming. Oreki Xian even felt that he seemed to have seen it wrong. This "scar" on the chest...why didn't she tell him about such a big thing earlier?

The pair of long legs were put together, and seemed to be stepping on the floor nervously.

Oreki Xian closed the door gently.

Of course he couldn't also sit on the bed. Although they were brother and sister in his mind, his sister had grown into such a beautiful young lady now, so he had to be a little cautious. If nothing else, if his parents saw him in Oreki Sakura's room at this time, they would at least break one of his legs.

He sat on the computer chair, facing Oreki Sakura who seemed a little nervous.

"You're still awake so late, what do you want to tell me?"

The girl didn't tie her hair up, so it was scattered and fell on her fair shoulders and the sweet valley on her chest.

She raised her head, her face looked a little unnatural, with a slightly pink complexion like cherry blossoms.

Eyes slightly to one side.

"Today...did you see the whole process of my Kagura dance?"

Oreki Gen was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"Of course, Jianyue and I both saw it, and it was very close."

Oreki Sakura immediately glared at Oreki Gen and said, "Who cares about that woman? Humph."

Oreki Gen didn't understand what the other party was trying to say and could only smile awkwardly.

Oreki Sakura hummed softly, then her eyes shifted away again. She gently tapped her toes on her legs with her hands, like a child with ADHD playing with her fingers. It was so cute.

"So...what do you think?"

Seems like there was a problem?

However, Oreki Gen still answered patiently.

"I think it's very good. None of the ones I've seen before were as good as yours. It's a pity that there's no Kuchikamizak."

The girl's face immediately turned red and she looked at the boy angrily.

"Brother, what are you talking about? Things like chewed sake have never appeared in Baishe Township, okay?"

"Of course I know. It's just a joke. Why are you in such a hurry?"

"I'm not in a hurry! It's you, brother, who is so annoying!"

The familiar bickering seemed to reappear, just like countless plots that had been repeated in the past, different topics, similar results, and similar expressions.

However, this does not make Oreki Xian feel disgusted or annoyed.

Because she is my sister, just as I care about her, she actually cares about me too.

"Cherish it. You won't hate it for long anyway."

Oreki Gen said this with a smile, and Oreki Sakura immediately looked at the boy nervously.

"What do you mean...are you...sick? What's wrong? Is it serious? Could it be that you and mom and dad have been hiding this from me, and you...Ouch! Why did you hit me!"

Oreki Sakura held her head and glared at the boy.
