'Hi. '

With a sigh from the bottom of my heart, I also noticed that Chihaya Kisaragi seemed to be angry, and felt a little sorry, but I didn't know what was wrong, so I wrapped some of the duvets on myself tightly, and then opened my eyes and thought.

'Is it because I scare her?She didn't fall asleep in the middle of the night, and the sudden noise made her uneasy? '

After thinking about it, this is probably the reason.

It was one thing to figure it out, but he didn't know how to apologize, so he silently wrapped the quilt that was already tightly wrapped around him a little tighter, Xiaosan decided to put this matter behind his mind, and pretended to be wrong. know how to deal with it.

Anyway, it's not a big deal, even if he doesn't care, it's okay, with this thought in mind, he closed his eyes again and began to rest.

Accompanied by the sound of flushing water, footsteps sounded in the quiet bathroom, and then the door lock was unlocked, followed by the sound of opening the door.

Xiao San only pretended that he was asleep, and did not open his eyes. He lay his head on the soft pillow on the armrest of the sofa, breathing evenly, as if he had already fallen asleep.

But the footsteps did not move away from the direction of the bedroom, but in Xiaosan's perception, they got closer and closer.

The sofa sank slightly, as if someone sat on his sofa, Xiaosan couldn't help but opened his eyes.

In the dark living room, a girl in dark pajamas is sitting on the edge of the sofa, looking at Xiaosan who is wrapped in a quilt and lying on the pillow, with complex expressions flashing in his eyes, let's get used to this dark Xiaosan, look Seeing the expression on Kisaragi Chihaya's face, she was a little surprised.

"Sure enough, you are awake, can't you fall asleep?"

The girl who didn't communicate much on weekdays looked at Xiaosan and asked such a question.

"Why do you say that?"

"Because...it's only four o'clock now."

"Are you going to school tomorrow?"

"Go to school, um."

Kisaragi Chihaya hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Then go to rest early."

"Wake up, but I don't have any idea of ​​going to sleep anymore. Did you... wake up very early?"

"Just a little earlier than you."

"That's it."

As if she was relieved, the girl covered her chest lightly with her palms, as if a big stone had fallen in her heart, she then looked at Xiaosan who was lying on the sofa, her eyes flickering.

"Why did you choose to live with me?"

"Ok?"

"If you want to rent, you can find a lot of places to live, right? Why do you choose to stay with me? Generally speaking, no one would make such a choice, right?"

"Generally speaking, no one will accept it, right?"

"Yeah, no one would agree to a stranger living together suddenly, but... I don't know why, so I agreed."

Kisaragi Chihaya lowered her head, her eyes fell on Xiaosan's face, her eyes were a little lost, as if she was looking at something in the distance, through Xiaosan, she saw some other existence, which made Xiaosan feel a little uncomfortable, but she didn't say anything.

"Obviously I know you're not, and I know I can't see him anymore, but... at the subway station, I saw you who had passed out, and I always felt such an inexplicable kind face, with a familiar feeling, Then I couldn't help it..."

"Did you bring me back?"

"Um, sorry."

Kisaragi Chihaya couldn't help apologizing, she knew that her behavior was a little too much, it would make people feel uncomfortable to treat one person as another person if it were any one person. (Except for licking dogs.

"Your...relatives?"

After considering his own words, Xiaosan slowly asked who he was considered to be a substitute by the other party, and being treated as a substitute, Xiaosan would always be a little curious in his heart.

"It's my... dead brother."

"......younger brother?"

Hearing Kisaragi Chihaya's words, Xiaosan's expression suddenly became a little subtle, not to mention other things, just his age, he is already much older than Kisaragi Chihaya, and he would be regarded as a younger brother.

"I'm sorry, I just feel that if he grows up, he might be somewhat similar to Qiuyue-jun. He...sorry, I talked too much, it made you feel very confused, I... .I'm going for a rest."

Standing up, bowing to Xiaosan to apologize, the girl returned to her room.

Xiaosan who sat up was left behind, with a strange expression on his face, watching the girl disappear.

"Being regarded as... a younger brother."

When he was at home at first, Xiaosan was treated as a younger brother. There was an older brother, Akizuki Shota. Even after his parents divorced, there was Tachibana Haruna who was an older sister behind him.

However, due to various reasons, Xiaosan's status as a younger brother did not last long.

Now being treated as a younger brother by a high school girl with a difference of about three or four years in age, Xiaosan didn't know that he should be happy. With his youthful appearance, he should lament what was wrong with him.

'If it were any other middle-aged uncle who had been struggling in society for a long time, he would be so happy that he would go crazy. '

But he's not an uncle, he hasn't fully set foot in society yet, and he doesn't have any special hobbies for female high school students.

Until the sun rose, Xiaosan was not able to fall asleep well, sat up from the sofa with a tired expression, tidied up his personal hygiene, and prepared breakfast.

"Morning, good morning."

Kisaragi Chihaya came out of the bedroom.
