Faced with the blackened heroine, they actually stopped time

Oreki Gen didn't know when his sleeves were torn. They were indeed girls from the swimming club, each of them was like a little strongman.

"You didn't answer the phone either. I was worried that you wouldn't be able to find anyone later."

"Who can't find someone? Do you think everyone is like you..."

Oreki Sakura said unhappily, and then saw Oreki Gen spread out his hands with a look of grievance.

"Then I want to congratulate you first..."

Seeing her brother's expression, the girl's heart softened instantly.

She found it a little funny.

But compared to laughing at the other person's aggrieved expression, what was more obvious was an impulse.

She walked towards the helpless boy who spread his hands, and before Oreki Gen had time to react, she stretched out her hands and hugged the boy's waist.

She rested her face against his broad chest.

Oreki Gen's hands were suddenly at a loss. He should have been prepared to hug her, but this was the moment that caught him off guard.

Inexplicably, the reaction of accelerated heartbeat was so real.

Like beating a drum in my chest.

Then he heard the girl's soft words in his chest.

"Brother, I did it."

She said so.

Addicted, yet with a little pride.

Oreki Gen couldn't help laughing. He put down his hands and hugged her shoulders.

"Well, brother will always be proud of you."

It seems that time should stop at this gentle moment, just like those major events that will leave a vivid page in history books.

This is a big event for Oreki Sakura.

This is not just an honor, nor is it just a reward for my hard work over the years.

It’s more about your own future.

She and he...will be closer because of this day.

But reality often does not stop for anyone, and time does not freeze for anyone.

soon.

A familiar voice came from behind the two of them, a voice that Oreki Sakura almost instinctively disliked.

"We are all waiting for the celebration party. You two are hugging each other here? Do you want me to take a picture of you guys so that we can keep it as a souvenir?"

Oreki Gen immediately wanted to let go of his hand. He knew that even if Sakuraba Mitsuki could understand his current mood, he would still be jealous.

But she didn't expect that Oreki Sakura would hold her tightly and not let go, she even raised her head.

Then she blushed and smiled as she looked at the rich girl with a bad expression.

"Okay~ Thank you so much, please take a nice picture of me~"

Crazy, right?

Even if you want to die, you want to take your brother with you? A self-destructing truck, right?

Chapter 25: Thorns and the Boy

"Click~~~!"

And a little flash.

But of course it couldn't be that Sakuraba Mizuki took the photo of the two of them. The only thing flashing in her hand could be a grenade.

Although it seemed a bit exaggerated to get that kind of thing in the city, if it appeared in her hands, Oreki Gen would only think it was outrageous, but not too outrageous.

Sayuri Yukino said with a smile after putting down her phone.

"Okay~ Now that we're done filming, can we go celebrate? Are you going to starve me to death?"

When Oreki Gen was weak, helpless and innocent, he never expected that the person who stood up would be Sayuri Yukino.

Oreki Gen didn't know whether this could be considered a pleasant surprise, but he was finally able to push his sister away reasonably.

It's not a big deal to keep hanging around.

What's more, when all these girls gathered together, as the only boy, all my actions would be magnified infinitely.

When it seems that there are the most people around, that is actually when you are most dangerous.

Sakuraba Mitsuki glanced at Sayuri Yukino, as if trying to ask her why she did this. This was an unreasonable interference, but Sayuri Yukino would not give the eldest lady such an opportunity.

She just blinked innocently.

"What's wrong? Why aren't you talking? Have you booked a place?"

Sakuraba Mizuki couldn't help but roll his eyes, then looked at Oreki Gen who was walking up to him.

"It's an izakaya in the city, is that okay with you?"

Oreki Gen thought about it.

"Of course I have no objection to your suggestion, but Sakura can't drink..."

Before Sakuraba Kengetsu could give Oreki Gen twice, Oreki Sakura came over after hearing the noise.

"Who said I couldn't drink? I probably did!"

"Underage people are not allowed to drink."

Oreki Gen said unhappily.

Oreki Sakura snorted softly.

"Why! You drank when you were a minor!"

"When?"

"New Year's Day!"

"...I'm a boy."

"Oh! You discriminate against girls!"

"...I dare not say that."

Oreki Gen quickly covered his sister's mouth and looked around. Fortunately, there were no boxers waiting nearby.

Looking at the girl with her lips covered by him and her big eyes blinking at him, the determination and fighting spirit in her eyes made it impossible to look away.

He sighed.

"Only a little bit."

Then he let go.

Oreki Sakura smiled and said, "Don't worry! I won't drink too much!"

Oreki narrowed his eyes at the other person and said doubtfully, "I would have believed you if you hadn't said that, but people who say that are usually drunk."

At this time, Sayuri Yukino asked a soul-searching question.

"Now here comes the problem. There are five of us. One car won't be enough to take us there, right? Do we need to squeeze in the back seat?"

Oreki Gen thought about it based on his own experience.

"Isn't there a rule that there can only be as many people as there are seat belts? If there are more than that, there will be a penalty..."

This sentence caused Sakuraba Jianyue to laugh mercilessly.

"Do you think I only have this one car, or do you think the traffic law can control me?"

This may sound a bit crazy, but the first half is true.

So the four people just watched from the side as Qiandao Feng drove a spacious nanny car and slowly came to the five people at some point.

Sakuraba Mizuki, who was at the front, looked at the slightly surprised expressions of the few people and raised the corners of his mouth in satisfaction.

"boarding."

After saying that, he opened the car door and sat in.

The nanny car was indeed spacious, with three rows in front and back, enough space for any arrangement, not to mention the spacious space inside, and even a refrigerator specially prepared for storing drinks. There was also a hanging TV in the middle that could play movies... Oreki Xian almost thought that the few people were going on a long vacation somewhere.

"Did you ask Qiandao to change the car in advance?"

Now Chishima Kaede was driving alone in the front, while Sayuri Yukino and Asagiri Sorrow sat in the middle. Oreki Gen, Oreki Sakura, and Sakuraba Mizuki sat in the back row.

Oreki Gen asked curiously.

Because the car came too quickly, it would not have been possible to arrive so quickly if it had not been prepared in advance. The Sakuraba family is indeed very wealthy in Sakura City, but it is not to the point of being so exaggerated and fast. After all, not the entire Sakura City belongs to their family.

But if Sakuraba Mitsuki made such preparations in advance...then she had already considered it, which means that she was not really unwilling to let Sayuri Yukino and Asagiri Ran go to the so-called celebration together.

This doesn't seem like Sakuraba Mitsuki's style...

Sakuraba Mitsuki answered calmly.

"Of course, do you think everyone is like you and only needs to live for one day?"

Oreki Gen smiled bitterly.

"Just say you're considerate. I'd be hurt if you were so mean to me."

"Hey...Brother, you are so disgusting."

Oreki Sakura couldn't help but get goosebumps.

Why is it that the male and female protagonists in TV dramas are often so cute, but when this boy and this girl say some simple love words, I feel uncomfortable all over?

Of course I feel uncomfortable all over! Is it possible that Miss Ben wants to bless them? !

Oreki Gen said unhappily.

"Don't listen, kid."

"You are just a child! Shame on you~"

Sakuraba Mitsuki was very satisfied with what Oreki Gen said.

She was especially happy when she saw Oreki Sakura's awkward expression. The source of her happiness all came from other people's dissatisfaction with her.

She remembered something.

"You are swimming faster than when you were in Baishe Township."

Oreki Sakura snorted softly.

"If you were to tell me, you're definitely no match for me now~"

Sayuri Yukino looked over curiously from the front.

"Hey, Sakuraba-san has been to Hakusha-go? Isn't that Oreki-san's hometown?"

Sakuraba Jianyue casually raised one leg, her movement was elegant and arrogant. Of course, they were all in her car, and no one had the right to criticize her behavior.

"I went there last summer. What's wrong?"

She also glanced at Asagiri Ran's expression. This cold girl didn't seem to pay any attention to what they were talking about. She was just looking at her phone.

Sayuri Yukino thought about it.

"But you weren't boyfriend and girlfriend at that time, were you? So you went to Oreki-kun's house? Could it be that Sakuraba-san was pursuing Oreki-kun?"

Sayuri Yukino knows how to start a conversation.

He can even confront a dangerous girl like Sakuraba Mitsuki with such a provocative topic on the street.

Oreki Xian was a little nervous.

Sakuraba saw Yue as expected and frowned.

"I chased him? I gave him face."

Oreki Sakura was also there to help with the sarcasm.
