Collapse? No, this is just everyday life.

Seeing Xi'er's little paws reaching out, Yu quickly shrank back inside.

Once again dodged, Seele's eyes welled up with tears of grievance: "Does Brother not like Seele anymore?"

Seeing that Xi'er was about to cry, Yu panicked.

Of course he didn't dislike Seele. The person he was closest to in the entire orphanage was Seele, who followed him around every day and sweetly called him "brother." There was a reason why he wouldn't let him touch her.

He's already eight years old, a grown man. A real man shouldn't let others touch his bottom!

"Seele, there's a reason why I won't let you touch me!"

"reason?"

Seele opened her big, watery eyes and looked at him, looking aggrieved and waiting for an explanation.

"The reason, the reason is..."

He was too embarrassed to voice his specific thoughts, but a thought quickly flashed through his mind, and he suddenly remembered a line from a comic he had dreamt about earlier. His expression immediately turned serious: "Seele!"

"Hey?!"

Upon seeing her brother's appearance, Xi'er instinctively held her breath.

He took a deep breath and said seriously, "The scars on your back are a man's shame!"

"...?"

A series of little question marks landed on Seele's head, filling her eyes with confusion. After a long while, she finally stammered, "So, brother doesn't hate Seele anymore, it's just because of that, the scars from before..."

"The scars on my back!"

Yu couldn't help but correct him.

"Well, from now on, Seele will stand behind her brother and protect him!"

"Ok!"

Seeing that Xi'er's attention had shifted, Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

......

Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Yu's cold had completely subsided, her buttocks no longer hurt, and her mind immediately became active again.

"Seele, I heard there's a new person here recently?"

At lunchtime in the restaurant, Yu scooped up rice and chatted with Xi'er as she ate.

"Ah."

Seele nodded gently, swallowed the soup in her mouth, and then carefully pointed her finger in one direction.

Over there, a silver-haired girl with pigtails sat quietly in the corner. She looked very cute, but her face had an expression that said "keep away," so none of her friends were eating with her.

"Come on, Seele, let's go meet her."

As he spoke, he picked up his half-eaten plate and took the lead in walking over.

Seeing this, Xi'er quickly picked up her own portion and followed behind her brother like a little follower.

despair.

Yu placed the tray on the table and, seeing the little girl who hadn't reacted at all, cheerfully said, "Hello, I'm Nangong Yu, and this is Seele Voller. Can we be friends?"

To everyone's surprise, the girl still didn't react at all. She finished her portion by herself, then picked up her empty plate and left.

Yu's behavior naturally drew ridicule from many of his friends. He blushed and retorted a few times before ignoring them, quickly finishing his meal and leaving with Xier.

"Brother, even Seele didn't know she would do this..."

"Don't worry, this isn't Seele's fault."

After comforting the somewhat apologetic girl, Yu started thinking.

The more he ignored people, the more he wanted to get to know them. Soon, what he considered a brilliant idea came to him.

"Xie'er!"

"Ok?"

"I have a plan!"

......

Late at night, a faint creaking sound of a door opening suddenly came from the quiet orphanage.

Soon, Yu poked her head out, looked around to make sure no one was watching, and then walked out of the room with a sigh of relief. She then waved to the door that was not closed.

A few seconds later, Seele, who had been hesitant, also managed to pull it out.

Led by Nangong Yu, Xi'er followed behind him. Judging from their practiced manner, they were clearly repeat offenders. It was a mystery how Xi'er, such an obedient and good girl, had been gradually led astray by her good brother into this state.

They made their way to a house that had recently been occupied.

"Xie'er."

He whispered something, and Xi'er nodded, handing him the small package she was holding.

The small package was opened, revealing many strange little tools inside. He didn't seem to fiddle with them much before a click was heard, and the lock on the window was opened.

Inside the room, the girl, who was a light sleeper, immediately opened her eyes.

She didn't move, but glanced at the slowly opening window out of the corner of her eye. Her hand, which was under the covers, had already quietly tightened its grip on the dagger she had deliberately hidden on her body.

Are there enemies?

However, when she noticed the person coming through the outside lights, the girl paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and then closed her eyes again.

Tap, thud!

"Woo~"

The little girl following behind the boy seemed to have stumbled, but she managed to hold back her sobs.

What do they want?

The girl was puzzled. She did not take the initiative to attack, but instead focused her mind and gripped the dagger tightly.

If she harbors hostility, she will not hesitate to retaliate.

Da da da.

The footsteps were approaching the bedside, and the girl's body gradually tensed up.

To her surprise, the footsteps suddenly stopped a short distance from the bedside, and a soft voice called out, "Hey, wake up, wake up quickly."

She opened her eyes at the opportune moment and looked at him with an expressionless gaze.

"You're awake? Want to do something fun together?"

"?"

The girl was puzzled.

"Seele, are you done?"

The boy glanced back and urged.

"It's done, it's done."

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint light suddenly appeared in the room, accompanied by the crackling sound of electricity being switched on.

"There's no time to explain, hurry up!"

Under the girl's somewhat shocked gaze, the boy suddenly pulled her up. She tried to break free, but to her astonishment, she found that she couldn't.

Before the cold glint in his hand could even appear, it was easily snatched away and tossed aside.

She was really shocked.

"What's so fun about this? Come here, I'll teach you something more fun."

With a disdainful glance at the sharp dagger, Yu pressed the girl down to sit on the ground, while he himself sat down beside her.

"Here, take this."

Looking at the white, square object handed to her, covered with many strange little buttons, the girl spoke for the first time: "What is this?"

"So you can talk."

Yu glanced at the girl and patiently explained, "This thing is called a handle, it's a really great thing!"

"I'll teach you the specific steps right away, Seele. Insert cartridge number one."

"Ok!"

Like a little soldier who obeys orders without question, Seele obediently carried out her brother's command, took out a yellow box, and placed it in the small box in front of a small television in front of them.

Soon, a blurry pixelated image appeared on the small screen, accompanied by a clear and cheerful tone that made the girl's heart beat faster.

Chapter 48 Air Sickness

The tranquility was suddenly broken by footsteps on the forested path leading to the beach.

Having crossed oceans and mountains, Kiana finally arrived at the private beach she had been longing for. Because the place was rather secluded, the taxi could only take them to the nearest intersection, and they would have to walk the rest of the stone path themselves.

However, the atmosphere of the originally lively procession became somewhat somber at this moment, because of the figure being carried along in front of them.

"Brother, hang in there a little longer, we'll be there soon."

Seele supported Nangong Yu's arm, Bronya helped her from the side, and Kiana, Sirin, and Mei behind them also showed worried expressions.

"Don't worry, I'm much better now."

Even so, the dizzying sensation in his head and the throbbing pain in his eardrums still caused him to show a look of pain on his face from time to time.

It's unbelievable that his illustrious reputation was defeated by an airplane.

Once on the plane, he realized he was suffering from airsickness. The long international flight tormented him, making him feel like he was dying. He couldn't sleep or vomit. After getting off the plane, his head was so fuzzy that he could barely stand. It wasn't until now that he felt a little better.

Logically speaking, someone with such good physical condition shouldn't get airsick, but he did.

The human body is amazing, right?

This sight terrified Xier and the others. After getting off the plane, they immediately took a taxi to their destination, hoping to get Nangong Yu to lie down and rest as soon as possible.

"Really? Brother, you mustn't lie to Seele."
