Ema's younger brother

Hyuga Chen, whose body was stiff and his fingers twitched unconsciously, opened his eyes against the caring gazes of the three people: "...good afternoon."

The young man sat up slowly, the corners of his lips raised slightly, and his half-curved eyes were as bright as crescent moons.

"Good afternoon, brother San."

Kiori smiled and replied hello, his gray-blue hair was tangled and swaying in the wind, soft and beautiful like a blooming iris, and his brown eyes, which were as bright as amber, were full of tenderness like water.

Ema, who reacted a step slower than Qizhi, pursed her lips, and a little gloom flashed in her eyes: "Good afternoon, Chen. I brought you food...do you want to eat now?"

"Xiaochen... did you sleep well?"

Lucy's eyes were bent, and the already soft and beautiful face was even more attractive because of this smile.

Sitting on the hospital bed, Hinata Chen felt the feeling of being surrounded by several people for the first time. He couldn't help being a little restrained, and unconsciously grasped the thin quilt with his hands: "...Sister... Sister, I don't want to eat for now."

He looked helpless and shy when he called Ema 'sister', his fair cheeks were dyed a light pink, and his dark red eyes shone because of embarrassment, like a quiet night Lan's lake surface is so quiet and beautiful that it bewitches people's hearts.

"Then let's eat later." The "sister" who was shyly shouted out by her younger brother made her heart soften for a moment, and put the heat preservation box in her hand on the bedside table. "Because the heat preservation box is used, so Even after a few hours, Chen can eat hot food."

The girl sat on the chair beside the bed, stretched out her hand to hold Hinata Chen's hand, the tenderness and love she showed in every move was like peach blossoms in spring, reflected in Chen's eyes with a gorgeous appearance.

"dust......?"

Ema, who found her younger brother in a daze, waved her hand in front of him with some doubts.

"...It's okay." Hinata Chen who was stunned for a moment came back to his senses, and hesitantly held Ema's soft palm, "Sister...thank you, and... .sorry."

Every word he spoke seemed to be squeezed out, stiff and difficult, and the speed of his speech was extremely slow, and his face turned red into an apple after all the words were spoken.

"......Eh?"

Ema looked at Hinata Chen in a daze.

"Brother idiot...just thank you, sorry but don't tell me, I'm your sister, right?"

There were tears in her eyes, but a pure and beautiful smile appeared on the corner of her lips.

It's like a dying traveler who lost his way in the desert, was dazzled by surprise when he found the oasis, but suspected that it was just an illusion when he was dying.

Bright smile.

Hinata Chen lowered his head silently, no longer staring at Ema who was about to cry.

The guilt that suddenly surged in his heart was about to successfully crush the crumbling tear glands.

"That...Although it's rude to disturb you, there are some things I have to say." Kiori, who was standing by the hospital bed, interrupted the increasingly difficult relationship between Hinata's siblings. The atmosphere of outsiders intervening, "And... there is no way to delay the time any longer."

"Really, thank you very much, brother-san."

Kiori's brown eyes stared seriously at Hyuga Chen who was looking at him, then bowed deeply.

The prince, who has always been elegant and noble, let go of all his reserve and pride, expressed his gratitude and guilt to another person, but made the crown on his head shine even more.

"If it wasn't for you, I might... never be able to get out of the shadow of Donghua's death for the rest of my life."

"At the same time, I'm sorry... for causing you to almost die."

When he said the last sentence, his voice was a little trembling, suppressing his fear and self-blame.

—He could never afford another man's life.

"...I accept your apology." Hinata Chen got off the bed and stood face to face with Qi Zhi. He treated Qi Zhi's seriousness with the same solemn attitude, "So, you don't need to take any responsibility. guilt."

"Besides, Baishi Donghua saved my life, and all I did was to repay my kindness."

At the same time, I also want to help you, who is crushed by the blood pressure of important people like me.

——Ema's hand that held her younger brother tightened instantly.

Saved...Chen's life...?

"I was attacked by a ghost when I went out before, and I didn't bring any charms with me. If it wasn't for Shiraishi Donghua, I would probably... no, I would have died that day."

Under the two doubtful gazes and the oppressive stare of his own sister, Hinata Chen briefly explained his relationship with the winter flower girl.

——Suddenly, Ema's gaze became even more dangerous. This kind of sharp needle-like gaze stimulated goose bumps on Hinata Chen's skin.

Perhaps other members of Asahina's family would be skeptical about the existence of 'ghosts', but both Ryukyu and Ema could understand Juli's words, and Kiori saw Fuyuka himself, so everyone present looked at him more or less. Somewhat worried about Hyuga Chen.

"...you don't have to look at me like that."

The Hinata boy who became the focus rubbed his hair in embarrassment, and took a step closer to his sister like a cub seeking shelter.

If he was stared at by hostile eyes, he could have ridiculed him back unmoved, but now he was defeated under the caring eyes of others.

"Just today, I found a way to completely restrain the ghost."

Looking at the three people whose expressions remained unchanged, Hinata Chen had no choice but to add a word.

"But the method cannot be said."

After all, it's really hard to say that staying with you is absolutely safe.

Under his sister's increasingly dangerous and piercing gaze, Hinata finished what he wanted to say with a firm expression, and he, who was more accustomed to aggressive gazes, felt a little more relaxed.

"Xiaochen...you have to protect yourself well."

Liu Sheng's speaking speed was as slow as ever, and his voice was as gentle and moving as a breeze, but his tone was obviously serious.

Kiori next to him nodded in agreement, and thoughtfully stopped asking any more questions.

Ema saw the imperceptible determination in Hinata Chen's eyes, she lowered her head and pursed her lips, the excitement of being accepted by Hinata Chen was completely extinguished by cold water.

The corners of her mouth were slightly bent, and the tyranny and paranoia in her eyes were fierce and wanton for a moment, and then returned to a gentle and friendly look in the next second.

"Chen, are you hungry?"

She looked at Sun Xiangchen tenderly.

— "She's dangerous."

The flowers in vases in the ward screamed in horror, and the birds parked by the window flew away after leaving a warning.

Hinata looked back at Ema calmly, his dark red eyes were crystal clear like jewels: "... I'm a little hungry."

"Nachen, let's eat first." Ema gently helped him to sit on the bed, and set up the bed table for him, "Brother Liusheng, you are almost falling asleep standing up, you should go home and rest first." ...Leave this to me and Kiori-san."

Liu Sheng, who had been ordered to evict guests several times, closed his eyes sleepily, and his purple pupils were filled with mist: "Then... I'll... go back first. Xiao Chen... ..I'll wait for your return."

He showed Ryu Xiangchen a warm smile like the early sun, then turned around and staggered towards the door.

"Brother Qi Zhi, why don't you send Brother Lucy back...? He looks like he's going to sleep at any moment, it would be bad if he fell halfway."

Ema looked at Kiori worriedly, her hair curled smoothly in the air.

Looking at Ryukyu whose footsteps were already starting to stagger, and looking at Hinata Moto who would obviously be taken care of by Ema, Kiori frowned: "Brother-san, I'll come back to accompany you later."

He hurriedly ran to Lucy's side, supported him to prevent him from falling, and by the way woke him up when he was about to fall asleep.

"Okay." Emajong, who seemed extremely happy after Qizhi and Liusheng left, took out the meals one by one and set them up one by one. She propped her chin and stared at her younger brother, the moist light in her eyes was extraordinarily gorgeous, " Eat it quickly."

Hinata Moto:...

Hyuga's limbs were stiff and he was picking up the rice, and his delicate face returned to the usual indifferent expression.

"Don't Chen like these dishes?"

Ema frowned, she remembered that her younger brother liked these dishes.

Hinata, who was being questioned, silently picked up a dish, and then continued to focus on eating the meal—he really felt that Ema's current aura was a little weird.

"Does Chen already have an appetite?"

Nayakami Asahina, who had already got off work, pushed open the door of the ward and walked in. His lavender hair looked as soft as his own, and his dark brown eyes were as warm as jade.

"It's really nice."

The man in a white robe seemed to be relieved, and raised a gentle and elegant smile.

"......good afternoon."

After holding back for a long time, Hinata couldn't think of what to reply. He could only say this universal greeting.

"Ah?" Yachen couldn't react for a moment, and when he saw Chen's depressed and helpless face, he quickly made up for it, "Xiaochen is a very polite child, awesome."

He habitually used the usual comforting words for Mi.

Hinata, who was praised, clenched the chopsticks in his hands. After thinking for a long time, he didn't know what the most appropriate response should be at this time. He could only cast his eyes on Ema for help.

The dark red eyes are like the most magnificent glass, overflowing with dazzling brilliance, and covered by the mist of mist, revealing a faint elegance that is breathtaking.

Ema suddenly lowered her head, and bent her eyebrows morbidly: "Brother Yachen, Chen is very happy with what you said."

--very nice.

Rely on me.

my dearest brother.

When she raised her head, she had the same gentle and loving smile as always.

With Hinata at the bottom of the steps, he raised a cute and beautiful smile in response to his sister's words, and after a pause, he gave an affirmative 'hmm'.

"puff--"

Seeing the boy's clumsy and flattering appearance, Yachen couldn't help but soften his heart. He stretched out his hand and rubbed the boy's head. As expected, he saw the boy trying to relax his tense body.

"I can leave the hospital tomorrow, are you happy?"

He withdrew his hand and put it in his pocket, feeling a little nostalgic for the soft touch just now.

"......Um."

Chen nodded, and slowly took a mouthful of food.

—He hated hospitals the most.

The author has something to say:

Although I didn’t mention it from the little angel, I still want to say it_(:з」∠)_

I didn't enter the plot when I was a child, and the wraith was injured until he survived, but he couldn't materialize.

After growing up, he entered the plot and became weaker, so he was burned to death by Ema.
