The author of the depressing comic book series makes the heroine cry.

I took a day off, don’t worry about how Xia Qiu got it.

"Hey, Mr. Hiratsuka Shizuka... um, cough cough cough, I feel really bad today. I'm almost dying, so I'm applying for a day off to go out and see a doctor."

"..."

"It's really hard, Jing. You don't want anything to happen to your students, do you?"

"..."

"Xia Qiu, I give you a deadline of getting to school before nine o'clock, otherwise ~ hehe..."

"Okay, Mr. Hiratsuka Shizuka, I'm going to the hospital. We'll talk after I recover."

Without saying a word, Xia Qiu hung up the phone and took off the wet towel covering his head.

"Hey, why can't you trick this woman?"

If you are sick, then you are not sick. If you are in trouble, then you are in trouble.

I have to take Qiong to the Metropolitan Police Department and send this little guy back.

"Have you packed up yet?"

There wasn't much to pack, just a few sets of clothes that Xia Qiu helped buy, and some snacks.

Qiong wanted to leave? Of course she didn't want to leave. Compared to that so-called home, she felt more at ease staying here in Xiaqiu.

Qiong had tried to look at Xia Qiu with cold eyes, as if to say that she didn't want to go back.

But that doesn't make sense.

A sixteen-year-old high school student taking in an elementary school student seemed to have bad intentions. Besides, Xia Qiu's age and status meant that he could not keep Qiong at home.

Sending it to the Metropolitan Police Department is the best option.

Holding her rabbit doll, Qiong said nothing. It seemed that this child's personality has always been so cold.

I guess it’s the influence of the foster family.

Xia Qiu greeted the Metropolitan Police Department in advance before going out.

When Xia Qiu and Qiong arrived at the Metropolitan Police Department, Qiong's adopted parents and the police were already waiting there.

The policewoman was quite pretty, so Xia Qiu followed her to take a statement.

It’s called a transcript, but in fact it’s just a chat.

"The relationship between that child and her adoptive parents was quite bad. Even if she was taken back home, she would still run away from home. When her parents got into trouble, I was the one who handled the matter."

The policewoman sighed slightly. She understood the psychology of this kind of child very well. Even if they ran away from home and were found, they would not be able to stay in that home. The worst case scenario would be that they would be sent back to the orphanage.

"Besides, the little guy is a little sick, so he is not well-received..."

After completing the statement, Xia Qiu walked out of the door, and then he saw that the parents' expressions were actually very ugly.

The woman was pregnant and she and her husband looked at Xiao Qiong in silence.

In fact, they probably hoped that Xiao Qiong would never come back after running away from home, but they were still notified by the police station and were brought here. The couple's family was not very wealthy, and being able to adopt Xiao Qiong was already the limit of their ability. Unfortunately, the woman became pregnant again, and Xiao Qiong eventually became the unnecessary child.

Somehow, a ripple appeared in Xia Qiu's heart.

The silent little girl and her adoptive parents who didn't treat her very well.

Tsk...what kind of punishment game is this?

Xiao Qiong knew that even if she was found, she would not be treated well because she had mild albinism.

Even the treatment alone would cost a lot of money, and no one is willing to bear the cost of her subsequent treatment, so she is just a redundant person.

When her parents were still alive, her relatives often praised her, saying that she was cute and beautiful, and that they hoped to raise a daughter as lovely as Xiao Qiong.

But after her parents passed away, all the praise from those people turned into sarcasm, and she was kicked around like a ball.

When the girl was about to be taken away, she turned around and gave Xia Qiu a look that was so lifeless that it seemed as if she had fallen from heaven to hell.

Rubbing his head, Xia Qiu cursed inwardly, then stepped forward.

Maybe you have to make many choices in this world, but as long as you don’t regret it, it doesn’t matter what the results of your choices are.

....................................

"Toiletries need to be bought, as well as quilts. Oh, and do you have anything you like to eat?"

In the supermarket, two figures, one big and one small, were walking around the supermarket hand in hand.

Xiao Qiong shook her head and stared at the two people holding hands.

"Is that so? Then let's have a simple dinner tonight."

When it was time to pay the bill, Xia Qiu handed over the card with some pain.

Sure enough, the result of a momentary impulse is that I have to work a little harder recently before the royalties are paid.

Xia Qiu used a sum of money that was hard to refuse to silence the couple and made them give the custody of Xiao Qiong to Xia Qiu. Although Xia Qiu could not adopt Xiao Qiong directly, it did not mean that there were no other ways.

So it was natural that in the following summer and autumn's life, there was a new younger sister in the family.

Xiao Qiong couldn't tell what her mood was.

Happy? Joy? Or...

I'm afraid so. When Xiao Qiong was sent back to the Metropolitan Police Department by Xia Qiu, he thought about running away.

But that won’t do, I will cause trouble for Xia Qiu…

So she planned to sneak out and run away from home again after returning to that so-called home, and this time go to a place farther away...

I just kind of... kind of want to stay with this older brother, but even Xiao Qiong knows that this is impossible.

So after being taken away by the parents, Xiao Qiong thought of taking one last look at that big brother...

But in the end, I didn't expect that Xia Qiu would choose to take me in...

This made Xiao Qiong quite surprised and at a loss.

"Won't it be troublesome?"

Xiao Qiong said softly.

Of course Xia Qiu knew what Xiao Qiong was talking about. He held the bag in one hand and touched Xiao Qiong's head with the other.

"of course not."

"Oh, by the way, you haven't formally introduced yourself yet, right? Hello, my name is Xia Qiu, you can call me Brother Xia Qiu."

"Kasugano Sora...you can call me Sora."

Xiao Qiong pursed her lips and introduced herself in the same way that Xia Qiu introduced herself.

In this way, Xia Qiu was alone in a foreign country, Neon, and had a younger sister who needed his careful care. However, this also brought up a problem: the house seemed a little small and cramped, especially the bedroom, which couldn't accommodate two beds at all! What should he do?

After thinking about it, Xia Qiu felt that he would have to sleep on the floor for the next period of time. Tsk tsk~

I'm afraid I'll have to endure this for a while before the royalties are paid.

Thinking of this, Xia Qiu held Xiao Qiong's hand tightly.

This made Xiao Qiong, who was holding the rabbit doll, stunned, and she looked at Xia Qiu in confusion.

"Let's go home."
