"Xiao Xin."
Mom Xi was passing through the living room when she saw her daughter in a strange pose. Her eyebrows shot up, and she looked puzzled.
"Why are you holding a cushion up?"
"What?"
"Are you going to hit your brother?"
Huh?
The girl stared blankly at Mom Xi for a second.
Then, realizing what Mom Xi had said, she finally understood...
Oh.
She was still holding the cushion up.
She quickly lowered her hand.
Then she hugged the cushion to her chest again.
The girl grinned.
Her smile was adorable.
"No."
"I was talking to my brother, then I stretched."
The girl demonstrated, raising the cushion as she stretched.
"You just happened to walk by and see me."
So that was it.
Mom Xi had only asked because the pose looked strange. Now that she had an answer, she left.
The girl breathed a sigh of relief.
She had just gotten in trouble with her parents. She couldn't give them another reason to lecture her.
She'd heard enough already.
Things like, "Don't take advantage of your brother's good temper and bully him..."
How had she bullied him?
The girl was indignant.
She knew her brother was good to her.
And she was good to him, too.
Nobody could badmouth her brother in front of her.
Of course.
Her brother was so outstanding. Ever since they were little, all she'd heard was people praising him.
She loved hearing it.
After Mom Xi left, the siblings fell into a brief silence.
The girl squeezed the cushion in her arms.
"Brother..."
"Are you really unable to find that person?"
The young man sighed inwardly.
"I... can try."
"If I'm lucky..."
"I might be able to find him."
"Thank you, Brother!"
The girl's eyes
