Ema's younger brother

"dust."

The monster jumped down from the mountain, and landed lightly on the ground. His long silver hair was scattered behind him, and the emerald green earring on his left ear was full of brilliance under the sun.

"I'm very happy that you can come..."

He frowned and showed a very nice smile.

"Hmm, I'm happy." Hyugachen patted him on the shoulder empathetically, "Wait a minute."

He dug out a piece of wood with a polished smooth surface from his backpack: "I carved the words myself, and it might not look very good... If you don't like it, I'll find someone to make a new one."

His gaze fell on the tablet in his hand—the wood is good wood, but the crooked and different shades of characters on the wood make people feel sorry for this fine wood.

His gaze swept over the band-aid on the finger of the boy's right hand, and a sour but warm emotion suddenly swelled in his heart.

He thought that Hinata Chen didn't want to spend more time for him, but after seeing the injury on the young man's hand, he suddenly realized - this child thought it would be more sincere to do it himself?Are you trying your best to let me feel the feeling of being valued?

Looking at the young man who was a bit sad in his silence, he stretched out his hand and took the tablet: "I like it very much, thank you."

"I also like Chen's characters very much."

Holding the tablet, he stroked Hinata Chen's hair.

Qi Zhi, who was watching the tablet floating from the side, said: ...

"Do you really like it?" Hinata Moto, who is particularly sensitive to other people's thoughts, lowered his head in frustration, "You don't seem to be particularly happy."

"Sure enough, I did too badly."

The young man's pear-yellow hair drooped listlessly on his head, his crystal clear eyes were slightly dozed, and his whole person looked as lifeless as a withered flower.

"You did a great job!" Qi Zhi flicked Hinata Chen's forehead with her fingers, and smiled softly when she saw the young man covering his forehead in an instant of aggrieved Bala: "Don't think about it, no one would dislike a person with a good heart." A blessed gift to make."

Yimulian, who was a step behind Qizhi, closed his mouth, and frowned a little anxiously.

"real--"

Is that right?

——Hinata Moto's words were interrupted by the sudden embrace of the monster.

He tilted his head blankly, and just about to ask the reason for hugging him, he heard the monster's voice full of self-blame in his ears: "I'm sorry, when I saw the memorial tablet... I thought it was because you didn't want to do more. Good. But after I noticed the injury on your hand, I realized that my thinking was too narrow."

"I'm very, very happy that someone can do that for me."

"But I can't laugh—because I hurt you."

"You said you wanted to be my believer, so I should try my best to protect you. But the fact is, we've only met for the second time, and you've already been hurt because of me."

"I... feel a little uncomfortable."

In fact, the emotions surging in the heart are very complicated, but Yimulian, who cannot accurately describe it, can only use the word 'uncomfortable' to describe it.

His words made Hinata startled.

After reacting, the boy murmured 'idiot', then reached out and grabbed Yimulian's long hair - pulling it down.

"……dust?"

The monster let go of him blankly.

"Does it hurt?" Ryu Xiangchen pulled his hair down again with a smile.

"pain."

The monster nodded obediently.

"Then there's no problem!" Hearing the answer, the young man let go of his hand in satisfaction, and rubbed his head on tiptoe in distress, "I hurt your hand when I made a tablet for you, and I tore your hair— — If we are all in pain, Yimulian doesn’t have to blame himself anymore.”

"Are you right Kiori?"

Worried that he would not be able to persuade the monsters alone, Hinata Chen decisively sought foreign aid.Seeing his younger brother making a series of movements against the void alone, Qizhi nodded calmly: "Xiaochen is right."

He looked into Hinata Chen's magnificent eyes, and the scene reflected in those pupils clearly showed that there was a tall and straight monster standing in front of him.

So I subconsciously pampered and felt sorry for my new brother—it must be hard work to endure so many strange things and strange looks alone.

Kiori has been silently watching Hinata Chen's every move, and then tried her best to fill in the invisible parts in her mind.Until he saw the gentleness and pity on the boy's face when he stood on tiptoe with a smile and touched something, his heart seemed to stop beating for an instant, and his breathing also slowed down unconsciously. All the thoughts in his mind faded away, and only The next one is empty.

——His impression of Hyuga Chen was refreshed again.

This is a child who was once lonely and gloomy, excluded and not understood.This is a child who, after being treated tenderly, dare not accept kindness because of the scars all over his body.This is... a child who is willing to be gentle to everyone after walking out of the darkness full of thorns full of despair.

Kiori suddenly wanted to hug Hinata Chen who smiled and comforted the monster, but smiled and suppressed this impulse.

He stood quietly beside the boy like a knight, guarding that beautiful and beautiful smiling face in the sun.

"Brother Qi Zhi? We are going up the mountain." Hyuga Chen who had comforted Yi Mulian turned his head to look at Qi Zhi, "The way up the mountain is a bit dangerous, Brother Qi Zhi must follow me-but don't worry too much, Yi Mulian will Protect us, he is amazing."

"And Yimulian can play tunes, and he's also good-looking, with soft hair... Ah, as expected of a monster I believe in, no matter how you think about it, it's amazing."

While talking, he deviated from the topic and began to praise the boy without thinking. He didn't notice the blood-red earlobes of the calm monster next to him, and even his fair cheeks couldn't help but blush a little.

"Okay." Kiori, dumbfounded, tapped Hinata Chen's head lightly, "I won't go up with you guys, I'll wait for you in the car."

"Enjoy your time with your friends."

Kiori smiled and ruffled the boy's satin-smooth hair.He quietly watched Hinata Chen's figure going further and further away, and he refused to sit back in the car until he could no longer catch traces of the boy in his sight.

Before reaching the foot of the mountain——

"Brother Qizhi, Brother Qizhi, can I ask you to do me a favor?"

"what?"

"That's when Yimulian and I go up the mountain, don't follow."

"……Um?"

"Because I want to apologize to Yimulian. If you are here, I always feel that I can't say what I want to say. Last time I saw Yimulian crying, but I didn't have the courage to run down to comfort him... I obviously wanted to I want to make him not so lonely, but I seem to make him more sad."

"Understood." Kiori nodded with a smile, "I won't follow."

——Obviously such a gentle and brave child.

——How could the world not treat you kindly?

The author has something to say:

I feel like...my story is just beginning.

Why do some little angels feel that... it's about to end? !
