Chapter 9. The mistake of opening(1/2)

It’s so embarrassing. Did I talk too much again?

Her little eyes glanced at the boy and girl's faces. From time to time, Sonoko raised her head slightly, then lay down again.

My mind started to think back to what happened in the first grade of elementary school...

It was one day when Xiaolan suddenly went to school after asking for leave. It was also on that day that the little girl who usually looked happy and innocent had a face full of sadness.

His eyes were blood red, the tears from crying had not been wiped clean, and his messy hair was hanging on his back.

No energy, sitting alone on a chair.

Until Yuanzi, who was still seven years old at that time, went up to ask, and finally Xiaolan lay in Yuanzi's arms and cried out.

Asshole brother, my parents are divorced.

That's right, it was from that time on that Sonoko labeled the existence of Xiaolan's younger brother, named Mouri Kousei, whom he had never seen before, with the term "bastard".

And in the next ten years, Sonoko never mentioned the topic of Mouri Kousei.

After finishing his memories, Sonoko once again stared at the boy in front of him.

"I'm sorry, I just accidentally said the wrong thing...(woo woo)"

He was pitiful and begged the boy in front of him.

Suddenly breaking the silence of the scene, Kousei did not continue to hold the knife and fork in his hand, and put it aside.

"No, I don't blame you for this, because I did not discuss it with my sister at the time, nor did I take into account her feelings."

While speaking, Kousheng's eyes never fell on Sonoko who was sitting opposite him.

Instead, he squinted from beginning to end, staring at Mao Lilan who was sitting on the outside.

"..."

At this moment, Xiaolan pursed her lips inwards, and the traces of biting her teeth could be seen through the tightness of the corners of her mouth. She turned her head and looked to the side, making it impossible to notice the pair of pupils.

I moved a little bit and picked up the laptop I bought before.

Kousei's half-crouched state appeared in Lan's line of sight with his face turned aside.

"Besides, didn't I say that no matter where I go, I will always be Lan's younger brother?"

A pair of identical pupils stare at each other.

They are all black with a hint of sapphire blue, and the waves of tears that arise when you blink are all the same.

Lan's pupils reflected the boy who suddenly appeared, squatting in front of him, holding the gift he just bought in his hand.

"Show me some respect and call me sister."

"Okay, onee-sama!"

He held out the thing in his hand and placed it in Lan's hand.

It was also a touch that seemed to be absent, the fingertips gently pressed each other's fingertips, and the fingernails had the same DNA composition.

Mr. Mao Li smiled and looked at Mao Li Lan who had returned to normal.

Sakura's thin lips...

"Why do you coax me every time? I'm obviously the sister!"

I couldn't help but complain and muttered.

However, the smile that spreads across the corners of his mouth makes people feel warm.

"I can't help it, because I am a boy and sister, you are a girl. Only boys coax girls, how can there be girls coaxing boys."

Still squatting on the ground, Gongsheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Because as long as you look at those sad eyes, you will feel uncomfortable inside.

Likewise, as long as you see the pure reserve in those pupils...

You will feel that everything is worth it.

"Those are all lies. Every time Xiaolan and Xinyi are at odds, isn't it Xiaolan who coaxes Xinyi?"

Yuanzi looked at the siblings in front of him, couldn't control his mouth and made a complaint.

(Author: If you don’t speak, no one will treat you as mute)

After saying that, Yuanzi regretted it again and quickly covered his mouth tightly with both hands.

Yuanzi quickly turned her head and looked out the window, trying to reduce her sense of presence.

"No, Shinichi just went to handle the case every time. When the next time came, I didn't coax him, and he had already forgotten it."

Couldn't help but argue.

Xiaolan put the things on her lap and looked at the cardboard box in front of her.

On the cover is a picture of a laptop, which is very delicately packaged and wrapped in unopened plastic film.

"So Xiaolan, you are too kind."

After taking the juice from the waiter, Yuanzi pouted and said.

As he watched, the face of his best friend next to him was filled with a smile, and he took back the words he was about to continue speaking when he reached his lips.

He turned his gaze again to the boy in front of him who had sat back down.

Carefully observe this Kousei Maori, who has always been defined by himself as a 'bastard brother'.

I still feel like I have seen each other somewhere...

"hiss----!"

Tear off the plastic film and open it carefully until a red crystal cover appears in sight.

It is so smooth that it can reflect the luster. When you touch it lightly with your fingers, you will feel the comfortable flatness. The white socket at the edge brings a sense of technology.

Gently stroke along the edge, and the soft rounded corners bring a sense of comfort.

Looking at the laptop sitting on my lap at the moment...

"Gongsheng, you can use this laptop yourself. I see that other lawyers bring laptops with them when they go out, and I can't use a laptop."

There was no hesitation, even from the moment I opened it to the moment my eyes saw it and my fingers touched it, it only took three minutes.

Xiaolan repackaged the laptop and prepared to hand it back.

"Farewell, sister, that one is for you. I already had my own laptop when I was in Primary 6."

Taking the black backpack next to him, Kousei opened an inner zipper, revealing a black and silver laptop.

Compared with the one in Mao Lilan's hand, there are traces of use.

Next to him, Sonoko held a straw in his mouth and stared at Kousei carefully. When he saw the other person's computer, he had a slight flashback. It seemed that he had seen the boy there and was holding the laptop.

Let’s look at the model in Xiaolan’s hand, because sometimes she goes to attend so-called press conferences, and her laptop doesn’t count but she still knows about the launch of new models.

Produced by Sony, the top model of neon at the current stage, the latest model on the market, rose red series.

In terms of value...

Yuanzi doesn't care much about money, and he doesn't care much about the valuation of laptop computers.

What I care about is this red color.

Because Yuanzi remembers that Xiaolan’s favorite color is red.

"This is new. It's definitely better than the old one. You can use this, Mr. Gongsheng. Just give me the old one to practice with. Besides, I don't know how to use it. I don't know what to do if it breaks."

With that said, Xiaolan stood up and placed the box she was holding in front of Gongsheng again.

"..."

Kousei looked at the box that came back in front of him.

He took out his notebook and a data cable from his schoolbag, and stood up from the chair.

He randomly cleared the table in front of him and pushed aside the dishes he had eaten.

"Sit in a little bit and squeeze a little bit."

He walked directly to the position next to Xiaolan with the laptop in his hand, opened the new laptop in the box, and connected the data cable in his hand to the two computers.

He stood up slightly, and then leaned inward. Yuanzi was almost squeezed into the corner, Xiaolan sat in the middle, and Gongsheng on the outside was only half seated, barely able to sit down.

"Help me connect the power cord, right next to your feet."

Open the paper box that Xiaolan had just closed, open the rose-red laptop, and connect the other end of the power cord to the computer.

The plug stepped over Xiaolan and handed it to Yuanzi, who looked confused.

"Ugh, I, is there a plug here?"

Sonoko looked at what the boy handed him.

You actually let the eldest lady of the Suzuki Group plug someone in?!

Stare at Kousei's profile...
To be continued...
