However, he had just put on his pajamas and returned to bed. As soon as he lifted the quilt, he saw Tianhai Zhixue hiding inside.

I look at her, and she looks at me.

Silent and speechless.

"Miss, you have to understand, this is my bed."

"But I told Le Mingming that we wanted to sleep together this afternoon."

"Your feelings are not requests, they are orders!"

"Sleep together."

"No matter how many times you emphasize, I will never take the initiative to sleep with you. This is a matter of principle."

"...We've obviously slept together many times."

"Isn't that why you came to get into my bed while I was sleeping?"

"Xiaoqi and Xiaojiu are not at home." Tianhai Zhixue hugged Kamarale's pillow tightly and clamped it with her slender legs with red skin, like a squeamish girl who pitied the weak.

"No need for you to remind me of this."

Kambara drove Zhixue out of the room and told her not to come over at night, and then she lay down and went to sleep.

During this period, he also peeked at the door several times to make sure that Zhixue had not come before getting ready to sleep.

......

The night is quiet.

Kanbaru held his head in his hands and stared at the ceiling.

I've been thinking about what happened today.

Zhixue’s thoughts about herself.

Zhixue because of her own initiative.

Zhixue began to care about how long it would take for her to come back, and would instead count how many times she played the guitar.

And when Zhixue was eating McDonald's, her eyes were fixed on the family advertisement.

What is certain is that Tianhai Zhixue has a pitiful life experience. She has never seen her mother since she was a child, and has never felt true fatherly love.

She grew up alone in that huge home. There were not many things accompanying her, just Uncle Ying, a few servants at home, and an electric guitar in her hand.

Leaning his head back, Kanbaru looked at the thousand paper cranes placed on his bookshelf that Tianhai Zhixue folded and gave to him, becoming increasingly unable to sleep.

There is no doubt that Zhixue must like herself.

How deep this love is and whether it is love or not is still open to question.

But dependence must be something that is 100% there, and love must also be something.

Even though she was not good at expressing her emotions, she still said to herself, "I can't live without happiness."

This is too heavy.

"Are you as happy talking to me as having a lot of fried ice cream?"

Kanbaru tossed and turned, his head lying back on the pillow, muttering to himself what Tianhai Zhixue had said.

If there is anything about snow that touches me the most.

——That’s how Zhixue obviously feels uncomfortable, but can’t express it well to herself.

Qi Mingyue can still express her own thoughts through venting her emotions.

But what about the snow in Tianhai?

She could only hide the feeling of not being able to get what she asked for, being unable to get close to her even if she wanted to, and being ignored and abandoned by everyone.

......

It is a fact that I want to take care of Zhixue.

My shabby character is that I can’t see how Xue can still get ordinary care and growth after having such a tragic life experience in her original family.

Thinking about this, Kambara couldn't help but ask himself:

[What kind of feelings should I show towards Zhixue?]

Love?

Definitely not. Kambara felt that he wanted to take good care of her.

How can I describe this feeling...it's exactly the same as taking care of A Ling.

Isn’t Aling an upgraded version of Zhixue?

I usually approach myself casually, pull my neck to act coquettishly, and say to myself, "Brother, I'm hungry, I want to eat beef curry."

......

Thinking of this, Kanbaru suddenly felt a lot more enlightened.

Yes, being unable to accept Zhixue's feelings does not mean that you do not accept her dependence.

In fact, as long as she completely understands that there is no love between him and her, it will be fine.

She can treat herself like A Ling as an elder whom she can get close to casually.

Like an older sister acting coquettishly towards her elder brother, or a daughter acting coquettishly towards her father.

And I can also respond to Zhixue to a certain extent without feeling sorry for Qijiu.

......

Isn’t that what A Ling is like?

She sticks it on her body casually, even if Qi Mingyue Jiu Liuli is jealous, she won’t eat it.

This ideal state is indeed good.

How about letting Zhixue call her brother in the future?

Something's wrong... This will mess up the seniority.

Or maybe we should discuss it with uncle and let everyone call their own names?

"..."

Kagawa Raku suddenly laughed.

When I said this to my uncle, I was afraid that he would be slapped by a few more people?

Sleep.

......

The next day.

It is also the last day after a week since the last cherry blossom viewing at Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden.

If there is any change today, it is that... there is basically no change. If I want to say a change, it is that the usual contact with Zhixue is no longer so unfamiliar.

After finishing the final touches at his uncle's office and moving all the equity information about the Tianhai family back to his bedroom, Kambara called out Tianhai Zhixue, who was hiding at home and playing guitar.

"Today is the eighteenth time."

"There is no need to count every day. Come, come and sit, I have something to tell you."

Kamigahara took the initiative to hold Amami's Snow's hand and led him to sit on the sofa in the living room. During this period, the girl kept looking at where he was holding her.

Kanbaru explained his thoughts to her and established his attitude very seriously.

Tianhai Zhixue didn't quite understand, and repeated blankly: "It's the same as...Ling...?"

"Yes, just like A Ling. Zhixue, you should also understand that the matter between Qijiu and I has not been resolved yet... I can't agree to be your boyfriend or anything."

"It's okay to be a husband."

"...Now is really not the time to complain. As long as you understand how A Ling treats me, you can treat me the same way."

"..."

Kagura Raku continued to emphasize: "Did you see A Ling getting into my bed every day?"

"No." Tianhai Zhixue shook her head.

"Very good. Just learn from her."

It’s not that Kanbaru doesn’t understand his sister’s feelings for him, but what does A Ling say now?

She has a clear self-awareness.

She knows that she is Kanbaru's biological sister.

Let Zhixue learn from A Ling, which is undoubtedly a role model to imitate.

The two people also have similar moods and hobbies.

They will definitely become very good best friends, and their personalities will mesh well together.
