After returning home in the morning, Nangong Rou and Nangong Zhe hardly exchanged a few words throughout the day. In fact, in the past few years, Nangong Rou has not been as attached to her elder brother as she was when she was young. Nangong Zhe thought she knew what was going on. After all, girls gradually grow up and know the difference between men and women. It is understandable that close relatives like myself will keep a certain distance.

But after this day, Nangongzhe felt that something was very wrong. The feeling that he had done something wrong lingered in Nangongzhe’s heart for a long time and could not be shaken off. Did I actually think wrong? When Nangong Zhe started to have such thoughts in his mind, the kind of doubts about himself couldn’t stop popping up.

The brilliance of the sun gradually began to disappear under the cover of the mountain peaks, and a round of bright moon seemed to be trying to release its own brilliance. It was already night, but the moonlight tonight was extraordinarily bright. In the courtyard of Nangong Zhe’s house, there are several paths paved with terrazzo, which also reflect light under the moonlight, and the small courtyard is also very bright for a while.

Nangongzhe saw that the moonlight was just right tonight, so he sat cross-legged on the porch and casually put his sapphire gourd and a small wine glass he found at home beside him, obviously planning to sit here and drink a few sips. Nangongrou looked at Nangongzhe who was sitting outside alone, and looked back at Zhenbai who seemed to be packing up the dishes in the kitchen, with a little doubt in her eyes.

Normally, when Zhenbai sees Nangongzhe sitting outside and wants to drink, no matter what kind of work he has in hand, he will pour wine for him very gently beside Nangongzhe like a good wife and loving mother. Nangongrou felt a little unbelievable that Ci Zhenbai didn’t respond.

But immediately, the eyeballs in Nangongrou’s eyes rolled around, as if thinking of something. So Nangong Rou gently opened the door of the living room and the porch, and sat down beside Nangong Zhe very respectfully. After sitting down, Nangong Rou even tidied up her clothes to make sure her sitting posture was meticulous enough, obviously she was very concerned about her image at the moment.

Confirming that there is nothing wrong with his posture, he reached out and took Nangongzhe’s sapphire gourd in his hand. Because this sapphire gourd contains Nangongzhe’s favorite drunken wine, Nangongzhe is usually very precious, and almost no one will touch it. When Nangongrou picked up her brother’s favorite wine gourd, the cold and warm texture of sapphire was transmitted from Nangongrou’s palm to her head.

laugh……

Although Nangongrou has been very careful, hoping that she can make the sound of pouring wine a little quieter, but the surrounding environment is still relatively quiet at night, and the sound of pouring wine is still so clear. Putting the wine glass on the floor of the veranda, stretching out two fingers and gently pushing the wine glass to Nangong Zhe’s hand, Nangong Rou once again resumed his previous awkward but extremely rigorous sitting posture. It’s really hard to imagine how sister Zhenbai learned to sit like this for a day, it’s really uncomfortable…

“Rourou…” Nangongzhe naturally knew that his sister was pouring wine for him, so he also called out his own name.

When she heard Nangong Zhe calling her name, Nangong Rou obviously trembled.

“Brother… what’s the problem?”

To be honest, this is the first time Nangong Rou has poured wine for Nangong Zhe. So in fact, Nangong Rou was also very nervous, afraid that what she did wrong would make her brother unhappy. Nangong Rou was also very annoyed in her heart, she was usually so elegant and natural when watching Zhenbai sister pouring wine for her brother, but why did she become so stiff and uncoordinated when she came to her? Maybe my brother is a little unhappy because of this… Is my brother going to be replaced by Zhenbai sister…

For some reason, this was the first thought that appeared in Nangong Rou’s mind. For the little girl, it seems that being replaced by Zhenbai is more uncomfortable than accepting her brother’s reprimand, right?

Nangong Zhe turned his head to look at his sister, and naturally found her extremely unnatural expression, and said to his sister with some doubts:

“Why do you have such an expression? It looks like I bullied you…”

“You…” Nangong Rou whispered softly, “You have been bullying others…”

Although it was muttering, Nangong Zhe could still hear what his sister was saying with his ears. Stretching out his hand, he pinned the piece of hair quietly hanging from his sister’s ear to her ear again, and said to his sister very gently:

“Oh…? How do you say this. You are my sister, how can I bully you before I love you?”

Hearing her brother’s question, Nangong Rou didn’t know what to say for a while. There was some embarrassment in his eyes, his eyes drifted left and right as if he was entangled in something, finally his cherry lips parted and his teeth bit his lower lip, and he said to Nangongzhe as if he had made up his mind:

“Brother… Are you and Sister Zhenbai?”

Nangong Rou only said half of what she said, as if she was hoping that her brother would understand what she meant.

“Zhenbai?” Hearing what his sister said, Nangongzhe was also a little puzzled, and said to Nangongrou as if he didn’t understand what his sister meant: “Why did you suddenly mention your sister Zhenbai?”

Nangongrou looked at her elder brother with a look of hatred, and finally mustered up the courage to hold Nangongzhe’s hand with her little hand, and gently stroked Nangongzhe’s palm and the tiger’s mouth with her fingers Looking into Nangong Zhe’s eyes, some calluses left by sword practice said very seriously:

“Brother, I know you like you know me. You know exactly what I mean…”

Sure enough…?

“Your sister Zhenbai and I are family members, just like you are my family. I know that you have your own worries in your heart, but some things are destined to be figured out by yourself. No matter what happens, you will always They are all my most beloved sisters. Just like when I first came to Konoha, everything I do is to protect my family.”

Nangong Zhe and Nangong Rou are not related by blood, this is something both of them know very well. But it is precisely because there is no blood relationship, so Nangong Rou, who is still a girl at heart, will naturally think a little more. Neither of them asked the question they wanted to ask, nor did they get the answer they wanted to know.

Reaching out to take the wine glass beside him in his hand, he raised his neck and was poured into his mouth by Nangong Zhe. It is obviously his favorite wine, but Nangongzhe is completely in the mood to savor it at this moment.
