Chapter 365 Return

After chatting with Yotsuba Nakano by the riverbank, Natsuo followed her to their home.

The five people are still living in a simple rented room.

"I'm back!"

"Yotsuba, where are you going...? Huh? Big brother?"

It was Ichika Nakano who opened the door, and she looked delighted when she saw Natsuo.

"What? Big brother?"

Upon hearing the voice, Nino Nakano also ran to the door. When she realized it was indeed Natsuo, she was incredibly excited.

"Ichika, Nino, we meet again." Natsuo waved to the two of them.

"They recognized us right away?!" Ichika Nakano was surprised.

"Is it strange?" Xia Sheng asked knowingly.

"Of course, apart from Mom, no one else can easily recognize us."

"Big brother is amazing!"

"Brother Xia recognized me right away too~" Nakano Yotsuba boasted proudly.

"Brother Xia?"

Their focus is not the main point.

"Yes, Brother Xia's name is Xia Sheng, and he's of mixed race," Nakano Yotsuba said.

"No wonder it looks so good!" Nino Nakano blurted out.

They're twins, no wonder they think alike.

"Then I'll call you Brother Xia too. Come in first." Nakano Ichika stepped aside.

"So unguarded? Aren't you afraid I'm a bad guy?" Xia Sheng said, and entered the room without any politeness.

"Brother Xia has saved our lives, how could he be a bad person? And what do we need to be wary of?"

"You don't understand. There are all kinds of people in this world, and there are many who are interested in little girls like you."

"How scary!" Nakano Yotsuba immediately tensed up.

"So, Natsu-nii, are you that kind of person?" Nakano Ichika asked back.

"I'm definitely not."

"That'll solve it, won't it?"

"It's better to be careful, at least with strangers, you know?" Xia Sheng reminded him seriously.

"We know."

"That's fine then."

Upon entering the house, it felt even more shabby. This rented house was small, just a simple one-bedroom apartment with limited space.

It would be fine for one person, but there are six of them.

In the living room, Satsuki Nakano and Miku Nakano were doing their homework at a low table.

Xia Sheng didn't stand on ceremony and sat down between the two of them.

Nakano Satsuki glanced at him and continued doing her homework, but Nakano Miku did keep secretly glancing at him.

"Is there anything you don't know how to do? I can teach you~" Xia Sheng took the initiative to speak.

"I can do it myself," Nakano Satsuki replied.

"Really?"

"You underestimate me?"

"Let me see... This question is wrong, and this one is wrong too. How come this one is wrong as well?"

"What...how is this possible!" Nakano Satsuki was extremely embarrassed.

"Hehe, let me teach you." Xia Sheng patted her head.

.All right."

"Here, solve this problem like this."

"Hmm..."

""

Natsumi taught earnestly, and Nakano Satsuki listened attentively, the two behaving like teacher and student.

Miku Nakano seemed to be ignored, but she didn't care. She just stared at Natsuo, her gaze moving back and forth on him.

It looked like they were looking for something.

"Brother Xia, can you teach us too?" Nino Nakano also came over.

"Wait, let me teach May first, she's too slow."

"I'm not stupid!"

"Pay attention in class."

"oh..

'

The five girls' mothers were still hospitalized, and Xia Sheng stayed with them while they studied until evening before leaving.

He came again the next day after the five of them had left school.

However, it took the five of them a long time to get home.

"Xia Sheng! You're here again!"

As soon as she saw Natsuo, Nakano Nino excitedly ran towards him.

"I was bored, so I came to hang out with you guys," Xia Sheng explained with a smile.

"Brother Xia, don't you have to go to school? Don't you have any friends?" Nakano Ichika asked teasingly.

"You don't need to go now."

"Now?"

"You'll see later. I've been waiting for you for ages. Open the door now."

"Brother Xia, you're being so polite so quickly."

"I'm here to teach May; she's too slow."

"Damn it! I'm not stupid!"

Do you even believe what you're saying?

"Hmm..."

""

When Nakano Ichika opened the door, Natsuo, acting as if they were old friends, entered the room and went to the living room first.

"Natsuo, wait for me!" Nakano Nino continued to follow her.

After Xia Sheng sat down in the living room, he waited for the five people to come over. Seeing their undisguised smiles, he asked, "Did something good happen today? Why are you so happy?"

"Yes! Mom's condition is better today!" Nakano Yotsuba replied.

"That's really... great." Xia Sheng's eyes flickered.

"From now on, we can live happily again."

"In that case, shouldn't you get good grades to make your mother happy before she's discharged from the hospital?"

"That's right!"

"Come on, let's continue learning."

The five girls were still in elementary school and the knowledge they were learning was still very basic. Xia Sheng did not deliberately teach them any knowledge beyond the curriculum; he simply helped them with their homework.

True family education comes later.

The five students' grades are neither good nor bad right now, but May has started to seem a bit slow-witted since then.

He was worse than the other four.

It feels like I can't seem to get over it.

Xia Sheng needs to provide her with intensive guidance.

What surprised him was Miku's intelligence; she was unexpectedly quick-witted.

"Miku, you did a great job, you only made two mistakes."

"Thank you..."

'

"Keep it up! If you get them all right tomorrow, I can give you a reward!"

"A reward?" Nakano Miku was intrigued.

"Anything is fine, if I can do it."

"real?"

"I'm not lying to you."

"Then I'll try it tomorrow..."

"Keep it up." Xia Sheng patted her head to encourage her.

Nakano Miku lowered her head, her eyes darting around, and she made up her mind.

"Natsuo, I want a reward too!" Nino Nakano interjected.

"Okay, if you get them all right, you'll get them too."

"This is so difficult... Could you relax the requirements?"

"That won't do."

'

'

Another day passed, and Natsumi continued to tutor the five students with their homework, while Nakano Miku actually got them all right.

Naturally, the reward she wanted was his katana, or rather, to see it up close or touch it.

She kept thinking about it.

Xia Sheng already knew what she was thinking, so he simply gave it to her and let her play with it as she pleased.

And so, Natsumi grew closer to the five girls until their mother was discharged from the hospital.

After that, Xia Sheng never came to find them again, but only watched from afar as the five of them and their mother enjoyed their sweet time together.

This period of time was not long.

Their mother's condition had not improved, but she was eager to be discharged from the hospital so that she could spend more time with them.

She left after a few days.

The five girls cried their hearts out; they were now left all alone, feeling helpless and lost.

And Xia Sheng reappeared before them.

"Natsuo, Mom..." Nakano Ichika said, tears streaming down her face.

"Yes, be strong. Your mother wants you to live well and be happy."

"That's all Xia Sheng could say to comfort them."

"But...

"6

"Don't worry, someone will take care of you."

"Is that you, Brother Xia?"

"It wasn't me initially, but it might be me in the future."

, "?"

"In short, you can rest assured about him. And you, don't let your mother down. Grow up healthy and happy."

"Waaah..."

""

"Ichika, you're the eldest sister, so you might have to take on the responsibility of taking care of your younger sister. Can you do it?"

"I...I will try my best..."

'

"That's great, but don't push yourself too hard. If you get tired, I'm here for you."

"Brother Xia..."

""

Is anyone home?

Suddenly, a calm voice came from outside the door, and then the person pushed the door open and entered.

The man who walked in was a middle-aged man with a cold expression.

"Who are you?" The man noticed Xia Sheng first.

Don't worry about me, we'll meet again in the future.

"?" The man looked at Xia Sheng with a puzzled expression and a bit of wariness.

Xia Sheng didn't seem to care about his gaze: "They're all yours from now on. Take good care of them."

"You don't need to tell me..."

""

"Then I'll take my leave. Ichika, Nino, Miku, Yotsuba, Itsuki, goodbye." Natsumi waved and disappeared on the spot.

"Brother Xia"

The man stood there, stunned, unable to believe it.
