"Ling, this is your sister."

"younger sister?"

"The doctor said Qiong's health is not good and she needs to be hospitalized for a long time. As a brother, I have to take good care of my sister."

after many years.

My parents died unexpectedly, leaving behind a house in the city.

In order to take care of her chronically ill sister, Ling sold her assets in the city, then moved her Qiong to a house in the country, and transferred to a local high school.

And this is where the story begins.

...

train.

In the empty carriage, the boy and the girl were sitting on separate seats.

Spring sky.

My younger sister has been frail and sick since she was a child. She has been in the hospital for a long time and cannot even go to school.

Kasugano...Aya.

Ayara inherited Kasugano's surname and got a new name.

It has been sixteen years since he came to this world.

There hasn't been much change in appearance, except that the hair color has turned to light gray and the figure is slightly thinner.

"Want to eat?"

"There's still half."

Aya took out an open bag of pocky and looked at the girl opposite.

Her long milky white hair fell naturally like a waterfall and was tied with two black bows.

The skin is too pale, the swan-like neck, the clear butterfly bones, the lines of the calves are perfect and delicate. The slender figure is enviable.

Holding a black rabbit doll, the white dress is not stained by dust.

"too slow."

Qiong took the snack casually, looked out the window and complained.

She hates riding in cars, especially if they have to sit for so long.

"Um, what?"

Qiong looked at the boy who had been staring at him since the beginning. He looked like he was thinking about what to say.

"Do you want your school uniforms made to order?"

"Why?"

"This way, if you want to go to school, you can go there anytime."

"I don't want to go."

Qiong's tone was very cold.

Although they are said to be brother and sister, they actually have very few opportunities to see each other. She spends most of her time in the hospital.

"Next stop, Zhijian,"

"We are about to arrive at Shimi, please don't forget your belongings."

The sun is shining brightly outside the window. The weather is clear and the sky is blue.

The countryside is quieter than the city, with fewer people.

There are hills and woods on all sides, and you won't see a house until you walk a long way.

get off.

Ling held two small bags of luggage, and Qiong followed silently.

The last time I came here was when I was six years old. I came here for a holiday to escape the heat in the summer.

"Where's the convenience store?"

Qiong looked around and only found a self-service vending machine.

"There is no such thing."

Aya smiled evilly.

"..."

Qiong turned and left without hesitation.

"I lied to you, there is still a supermarket here, but it seems like you still have to walk some distance."

Ling hurriedly chased after him.

In this way, the two of them walked towards the nearest supermarket.

"Aya?"

The girl held her brother's clothes with one hand and her mobile phone in the other.

"how."

"I told you it's not far. We've been walking for more than ten minutes. Where is that supermarket?"

"Already almost there."

"No matter what, I can't walk anymore."

Qiong released his hand, his voice was very calm, and he stopped in place.

Holding the rabbit doll in both hands, he stared at Ling without any wavering.

Kasugano Aya.

A guy with a very strange personality.

Studying and sports are both average to the point of being average.

Although he seems to have been a monitor or something, he really doesn't look like a warm-hearted and kind-hearted person.

I have a few friends who like to play games all night long.

He always has a look on his face that says "I am aloof, please don't cue me".

"Can't you walk?"

"If you don't go to the supermarket to buy good things, you won't have snacks when you get home. There are very few supermarkets here,"

"Okay, try harder and I'll push you away."

Aya showed a gentle smile that was harmless to humans and animals.

He put his hands on Qiong's shoulders and pushed her forward gently.

"No!"

A look of nervousness flashed across the girl's face. A man was walking in front.

"drop."

Aya’s phone received a new message:

Come here quickly.

——Qiong

"Because we haven't seen each other for a while, I got angry."

Aya scratched her head.

While he was thinking, a high-end black car sped past on the highway.

"Did you see it? Miss, did you just see it?"

"See something."

"That boy just now was super cute and he was my type!"

"Is it?"

A few minutes later.

supermarket.

"Is this the big supermarket you're talking about?"

"That sucks."

Qiong Liu frowned slightly.

Can such a small store be called a "supermarket"? Sure enough, life in the countryside is too bad.
