Faced with the blackened heroine, they actually stopped time

"Because then I have to call her sister? I don't want to do that."

"..."

This was probably an answer that no one had expected.

Oreki Gen didn't know whether he should laugh or wipe his cold sweat. By some strange coincidence, he thought his sister had suddenly become so perceptive that she saw through something. But it turned out to be such a ridiculous reason?

Sakuraba Izumi couldn't help but laugh.

"I see... Jianyue, your popularity still doesn't seem that good."

Even make fun of your own daughter.

Sakuraba Jianyue narrowed his eyes and sneered.

"It doesn't matter. I have plenty of ways to make her call me sister."

"You're overthinking. There's absolutely no possibility of this happening. Humph!"

Since the goal had failed, Sakuraba Izumi stood up.

"Xiaoying, just stay here for a few days until you go back. Don't worry, just treat this place as your own home. There's nothing to be shy about. Someone has already gone to clean up the room, so just go over there later."

"Ah...thank you."

Oreki Sakura had just rejected the other party, so it seemed that she couldn't refuse the kindness this time, so she could only nod.

Watch Sakuraba Izumi leave.

Oreki Gen breathed a sigh of relief. Although there were a lot of people, the scene was not too chaotic and was still within control.

Sakuraba Mitsuki also stood up, and Oreki Gen stood up immediately. Some things had to be said before, otherwise they would be less effective if said later.

"I'll go help her clean up the room first and come back later."

Sakuraba Kentsuki frowned and looked at Oreki Gen with dissatisfaction.

"Do you two brothers really like to piss me off?"

"What's wrong? You asked her to sleep here, and she's a little shy about sleeping in a bed, so I have to keep her company for a while."

"Or is it my fault?"

"Or we can go back now."

"I'll give you ten minutes...you'll be in trouble later."

"grateful."

After watching the other person slowly leave, the young man finally breathed a sigh of relief.

ten minutes?

Schrödinger's Ten Minutes.

If Orekigen was so well-behaved, would he still be Orekigen? He would have been stabbed all over by axes long ago.

But Oreki Sakura looked at her brother with some worry.

"Brother, are you okay? Did I say something wrong just now?"

The girl was obviously more worried about the boy's situation. Even if she was slow-witted, she could see the difficulties her brother faced in this family.

Oreki Gen shook his head, smiled and touched his sister's hair.

"No, you did very well. We can talk about this later. Let's go into the room first."

"Oh..."

Oreki Sakura didn't understand why until she entered the prepared guest room and sat down on the bed, which was indeed very comfortable. It didn't look like it was a guest room bed at all. Then Oreki Sakura looked at her brother curiously.

"Is it true that I didn't cause you any trouble? Just now when Auntie asked me if I wanted to be her goddaughter...you all looked very strange."

Oreki Gen smiled, perhaps because he was so excited just now and now he finally calmed down.

Maybe my mood also needs some comfort.

He reached out and took his sister's hand.

Oreki Sakura's cheeks flushed.

Then she saw the familiar gentle expression on her brother's handsome face.

It is often this kind of expression that makes oneself feel warm, as if wandering in a blue ocean, with sunlight, sea breeze, and all the gentle things blowing towards you.

Oreki Gen just looked at her and spoke softly.

"You don't have to care about our expressions. Just do what you want. How should I put it? Actually, I can't tell you what is right. No one can even control their own or other people's lives. But what we can do is to have no regrets about every choice, so even if your reason is this, it's good. At least this is the choice you want."

Oreki Gen suddenly thought, if she wanted to be Sakuraba Izumi's goddaughter, how could he stop her?

Now it seems that there is no need to interfere in anything. Apart from the obvious danger, any choice is her life. Any unnecessary control on my part will become a bondage, which is not what a brother should do.

"Then...what about my brother?"

she asked worriedly.

Oreki Gen blinked.

"What do you mean?"

Oreki Sakura said somewhat awkwardly.

"It's just... seeing you here, being so cautious and unnatural... I'm worried about you."

Obviously, this girl regarded herself as a bird in a cage, thinking that she was a young man controlled by capital and had lost her freedom.

Although it looks very similar to this, it seems to be similar.

But Oreki Gen squeezed her soft palm.

"Don't worry about me. Don't worry. Brother will live well and live with dignity. Everything you see now is nothing. It's just the beginning."

"really?"

"Do you believe me."

"Of course I believe it!"

Although Oreki Sakura always said that she didn't believe the boy's nonsense, when it came to crucial matters, he would be the person she relied on the most.

Let's say that.

Even if he stabbed her chest with a knife himself, she would think he was doing it for her own good and would never ask why.

Oreki Gen nodded.

"That's fine."

But Oreki Sakura still looked at Oreki Gen with some concern.

"If...if it's really difficult, if it's really hard, actually...we can go back to Baishe Township and live peacefully there, isn't it good? Even though it's not as prosperous as the cherry blossoms, but...I will stay with my brother no matter what."

When Oreki Gen heard this, he suddenly remembered a famous orthopedic game.

Brother and sister, from the countryside, the good guy is just missing a white hair.

Oreki Gen put away his strange thoughts.

He smiled.

"Even if we have to go back, it will be a long time in the future. Don't worry, it's not as dangerous as you think. Just focus on your game tomorrow. Brother will promise you to live safely and with dignity in Sakura City."

"Yeah...I believe my brother."

Oreki Sakura nodded heavily, perhaps it was the other person's palm that transmitted the power.

Perhaps it was because his eyes always made her feel at ease.

She didn't know, in fact, in Oreki Gen's opinion.

She is also one of the few girls to whom I can confide a lot of my thoughts.

After saying some of these things to the other person, not only did I feel a lot more relaxed, but I also seemed to be quite confident.

I don’t know where the confidence comes from.

But judging from the fact that the other party had arrived in Sakura City in the past few days, he really needed to speed up the process.

Well... let’s start with the most difficult young lady!

Oreki Gen stood up.

"Okay, then you should rest early, play well tomorrow, and don't worry about anything else, okay?"

"I see. Um...wait."

Seeing Oreki Gen stand up, Oreki Sakura suddenly called him with a red face.

"what happened?"

Oreki Genji looked at the long-legged beautiful girl who slowly stood up from the edge of the bed.

She put her hands behind her back, lowered her head slightly, and said with a blushing face.

"Um...can you give me a hug?"

"what?"

"I... this place is a little strange... you can't sleep with me, can't you just hug me?"

Oreki Gen actually didn't think there was anything difficult about it. Even if they were brothers and sisters, it was normal to hug each other. But why was the atmosphere so weird?

Why do I feel my cheeks are a little hot, just like my first love...

He even did something he didn't usually do and scratched his cheek.

"Um... that's not a problem, but..."

"Then hurry up... I... I know I'm shy, you... hurry up, don't be so hateful..."

She couldn't help but stamp her feet lightly.

She looks so cute with her rosy face and not daring to look at herself.

Oreki Gen took a deep breath.

"I see."

So, with an inexplicable nervousness, he opened his arms and hugged her.

The heartbeat seemed very obvious.

The moment he hugged the girl's soft body, he seemed unable to utter a word.

All I could smell was the other person's sweet fragrance, and when I opened my eyes I could only see the snow-white walls.

But the heartbeat in my arms was so real, so intense, I could no longer tell whether it was my own or beating in the other person's chest.

The girl's hands behind her back relaxed, and her body seemed to melt into the boy's chest.

Is this my brother's embrace?

More solid and reliable than I thought...more dizzying.

She couldn't help but stretch out her hands and wrap them around the other's waist.

It was as if they were completely immersed in such an embrace, as if time and the whole world had nothing to do with them.

Even if it was the end of the world and the sky was falling, the only sound in their ears would be each other's breathing.

It was not until Oreki Gen woke up from this strange atmosphere and feeling that he pushed the other person away slightly.

"Well... let's stop here, it's getting late..."

"Boom!"

Sudden.

Oreki Gen's eyes widened. He had never expected that the girl who was looking up at him would suddenly stand on tiptoe and kiss his lips.

What was that feeling just now?

Was it... a peck?

Oreki Sakura's eyes widened instantly.

She didn't realize what she was doing.
