Sister Can Only Be Mine!

Hinata was startled and hurriedly wiped the corner of her mouth.

???

Nothing had leaked out at all.

Seeing Hinata's adorable expression, Feng An smiled. "I tricked you."

Then he patted his bulging stomach.

"I'm really full. I roasted this half of the pig especially for you."

Hinata sat down beside Feng An, half-convinced.

She slowly reached out her little hand and rubbed Feng An's stomach, only then realizing that he had not lied to her.

"Tha... no, don't thank... no, that's not it..."

Hinata's face grew even redder.

She instinctively wanted to say thank you, but suddenly remembered that Feng An did not like her constantly thanking him. Her words became jumbled, and she did not know what she was trying to say anymore.

Seeing Hinata like this, Feng An could not help but laugh.

"I know what you mean, Hinata."

He placed both hands on Hinata's cheeks and slowly lifted her lowered head.

Her beautiful eyes trembled slightly. Against the moonlight, her pale pupils were as clear and bright as a starry sky, making it impossible to look away.

She stared at Feng An's face as well. Aside from his distinctive red hair, his handsome features were striking too. Bathed in moonlight, thirteen-year-old Feng An had already revealed looks that defied the heavens.

Is this okay? We're already friends, so this should be okay, right...

Held in Feng An's hands, Hinata's heart raced wildly. She could feel the burning heat on her face continuing to rise.

Just then, Shino's voice suddenly came from nearby.

"Actually, I haven't left yet."

Hinata cried out and hurriedly turned around, burying her bright red face deep against her chest. She only felt her body temperature soaring.

Shino saw that... sob, what was I doing?

Shino Aburame adjusted his sunglasses with one hand and said calmly, "It's fine. You don't need to mind me."

"To hell with not minding you. You did that on purpose, didn't you?"

Feng An seriously suspected that Shino and Kiba had both been bought off by that blond brat and sent here specifically to cause trouble.

"I'm leaving. Hinata, be careful. There are bad people in our team."

After saying that, Shino Aburame took a roasted pig trotter and fed it to the insects inside his body before walking away.

Hinata nodded. "O-Okay."

Seeing her nod, Feng An rolled his eyes. "Are you stupid? He meant that I'm the bad person."

"I'm not stupid," Hinata said quietly.

I know you're the bad person. She did not say the second half aloud.

"Not stupid? I feel like even if I sold you, you'd be the kind of fool who'd help me haggle with the kidnappers."

Hinata lowered her head, then looked up at him. "I'm really not stupid..."

Seeing her clear yet foolish gaze, Feng An decided not to pursue the subject any further.

"The roast pig is ready. Hurry up and eat."

With Feng An's permission, Hinata stopped being polite. Her stomach had been impatient for a long time.

In an instant, she devoured it like a whirlwind. In less than a few minutes, a roasted pig half the size of Feng An had gone into Hinata's stomach.

Looking at Hinata's still unchanged belly, Feng An even suspected it was Doraemon's Four-Dimensional Pocket.

"Let me see what it's made of."

As he spoke, Feng An's restless hand reached toward Hinata's little belly.

Hinata hurriedly ran away and muttered softly, "Shino was right. There are bad people in the team."

She had clearly touched his stomach just now, yet she would not let him touch hers.

What a perfect example of one rule for officials and another for ordinary people!

He looked at the sky and saw that it was already very late. His expression turned serious.

"Hinata, I'll take you home."

"Mm, okay..."

Feng An brushed the dust off himself, put out the fire, and accompanied Hinata through the woods toward the Hyuga household.

When they passed the night market, Hinata pulled Feng An to a shop that was still open.

She bought a cup of juice for herself and Feng An.

Feng An had originally wanted to pay himself, but under Hinata's insistent demands, he still gave in.

Whenever Hinata used her ultimate move and looked at Feng An with those watery, wronged eyes, he felt like he truly deserved to die.

Feng An had originally wanted to keep Hinata in check, but without realizing it, he had already been completely wrapped around her finger.

The two walked shoulder to shoulder through Konoha's alleyways, their shadows stretched long by the streetlights.

Before long, they arrived at an old-looking courtyard.

Hinata gave the gate a push, but it would not open. It seemed to have been locked from the inside.

"Your uncle didn't leave the door open for you?"

"It's probably too late. He thought I wouldn't be coming back..."

I clearly told Father to leave the door open because of the class gathering tonight. Did he get angry with me again because I came home so late?

What a perfect opportunity. Feng An rejoiced inwardly. Uncle Hyuga could not blame him for this.

As soon as Hinata glanced sideways, she saw the frighteningly wicked smile on his face.

"What are you thinking about?"

Feng An immediately straightened his expression and said solemnly, "Nothing. I was thinking, since that's the case, you can sleep at my house. The bed at my place is pretty big."

"You can't do that. We're only friends..." Hinata covered her eyes with both hands and said shyly.

Feng An was startled deep down.

No, even though that was exactly what I was thinking, that kind of thought shouldn't be appearing in your head!

Seeing that Feng An had fallen silent, Hinata thought he was angry and quietly explained, "We're still too young. At least wait until we're sixteen..."

The car was moving too fast for Feng An's engine to keep up. Was this the story of an innocent adolescent young lady falling in love with him?

He unconsciously glanced at Hinata and could not help blurting out, "Not that young..."

Compared to Sakura, Hinata was already at an utterly outrageous level. She was enough to make countless people long for what they could never reach.

Just then.

With a creak, the front gate suddenly opened from the inside.

This is bad. If her father sees his precious daughter out this late with a boy, I'm dead!

Feng An hurriedly ducked behind a stone post.

However, the one who came out was not Hinata's father, Hiashi Hyuga, but Hinata's younger sister, Hanabi Hyuga.

Hanabi Hyuga puffed out her round cheeks and scolded, "Big bad guy, flirting with my sister right outside our front door."

Hinata said shyly, "He wasn't flirting with me..."

Seeing her sister defend the bad guy, Hanabi stomped her feet furiously. "Hmph! If Sister won't come inside, I'm bolting the door!"

Hinata clasped both hands together against her chest and hesitantly looked toward where Feng An was hiding.

Feng An stepped out and said with a smile, "Go back inside. I was just teasing you. The bed at my house actually isn't big at all. It's a hard board bed too. You wouldn't be used to sleeping there."

Seeing Hinata's guilty expression, if they had not been standing in front of the Hyuga household's gate, he would have wanted to pull her into his arms.

Foolish and adorable.

"Go on back. I should head home too. See you tomorrow." Feng An waved, shoved both hands into his pockets, and walked away with an easy stride.

He knew that if he did not say goodbye first, this fool who always put others before herself would only keep standing there in a stalemate with him.

"...See you tomorrow," Hinata murmured, staring blankly at his receding figure until it disappeared.

"I'm so mad!" Hanabi Hyuga puffed up her cheeks and flailed her arms and legs in outrage. "Sister, that redheaded bad guy has already gone far away!"

After saying that, Hanabi Hyuga ran into the house and ignored Hinata.

She felt that her gentle older sister was about to be stolen away by that red-haired bad guy, and it made her furious.

"Sister can only be mine! Damn redheaded bad guy!"
