My anime/manga fandom can't be that lazy.

Now, the aftereffects of Gokou Ruri 04 were finally kicking in. Her face was flushed as she sat in front of Dongfang Bai, wishing she could bury her head in the tatami mat like an ostrich.

"It's okay, it's okay. I think Hinata is quite lively, and I think she's quite cute."

Dongfang Bai quickly waved his hand, and Gokou Ruri breathed a sigh of relief. She had just heard Gokou Hyuga's words when she came out; that guy was actually meddling in other people's business...

Thinking of this, Gokou Ruri's face flushed red all the way to her ears, and she dared not look directly at Dongfang Bai any longer.

"Ok?"

Dongfang Bai's nose twitched slightly. It smelled wonderful, but it didn't smell like shampoo. It was more like a floral scent. The source of the scent was Gokou Ruri. Her long black hair seemed to have been thoroughly washed.

Before Dongfang Bai could finish thinking, Wugeng Liuli began to urge him.

"Alright, Senior Dongfang, hurry up and change your clothes and go take a shower, don't catch a cold."

"Eh..."

Dongfang Bai was still a little conflicted. After all, it was still a bit awkward to take a shower at a girl's house, even if her parents weren't home.

"Alright alright."

Dongfang Bai saw that Gokou Ruri's expression seemed quite serious, so he sighed and went to the bathroom to change his clothes. The bathroom at the Kuroneko's house was quite nice, with a Japanese style.

Moreover, the water in the bathtub was hot, indicating that Gokou Ruri had specially filled the tub with hot water after taking a bath. This small detail shows how virtuous she is, and she will definitely be a good wife in the future.

I wonder who must have been incredibly lucky to marry her.

"...?"

Dongfang Bai sniffed the air slightly, and sure enough, there was a faint fragrance in the air, like the citrus scent on Jin Ye Hui, while the black cat smelled more like flowers. This was definitely not the scent of shower gel or shampoo...

In other words, is it body odor?

Dongfang Bai blushed. The thought of this made his scalp tingle. Even this seasoned driver who had raced on Mount Akina could feel excited. Indeed, movies and reality are completely different.

Finally, Dongfang Bai finished his bath, suppressing the surge of blood and qi. When he came out, he found a set of casual clothes next to the bathroom. The clothes were dark in color, and Dongfang Bai guessed that the black cat had prepared them for him, so he put them on.

"I'm sorry, we don't have any men's clothes at home, but we do have some new clothes that my father hasn't worn yet. Please give them to Senior Dongfang for now, they might be a little too big."

Ruri Gokou spoke somewhat apologetically, but Dongfang Bai didn't seem to mind. After thanking her, he went to the living room and found that Hinata Gokou, who had just been dragged away, had appeared...

The child's expression seemed unchanged, completely different from when he was shouting for help. The other party also saw Dongfang Bai coming over, and his eyes lit up slightly.

"As expected of Brother Dongfang, he looks handsome in anything he wears!"

Hinata Gokou's words of praise made Dongfang Bai scratch his cheek a little embarrassed, while Ruri Gokou took Dongfang Bai's clothes to wash and prepare to dry them quickly.

"Haha, Hinata is also very cute. She will definitely be able to find a good guy in the future."

"Yeah! That's what I think too. When I grow up, I definitely want to find a boyfriend like Brother Dongfang."

Hinata Gokou laughed, but the black cat not far away trembled slightly. She was secretly listening to the conversation, and Hinata Gokou had already noticed. She seemed to reveal a mischievous smile for a moment.

"The rain outside is still so heavy, it'll be a real hassle to get back like this..."

Dongfang Bai looked outside at the torrential rain. The rain was pouring down as if water was being poured from a pipe. Although the weather forecast said it would rain, he hadn't expected it to be this heavy.

He had just finished showering and had absolutely no intention of braving the heavy rain to go home with an umbrella...

"Then please stay at my house until the weather clears up. It's alright since your parents aren't here."

The black cat was using an iron to dry Dongfang Bai's clothes. Her ironing movements were quite skilled, as if she had practiced it a thousand times. Hearing this, Wukou Hinata was very happy.

"If the rain keeps going today, Brother Dongfang, why don't you just stay at my place?"

Hyuga Gokou's words made Hikaru Dongfang's lips twitch, while Ruri Gokou in the distance clenched her right hand tightly. Living at Kuroneko's house? Even if their parents aren't home, this isn't allowed...

"Let's forget about this one. I have a younger sister to take care of..."

Dongfang Bai smiled, while Wugou Hinata immediately showed a disappointed expression, but she quickly understood. It would be a bit difficult to keep Dongfang Bai here with this heavy rain.

It seems the only thing we can do is try to improve the relationship between Brother Dongfang and Sister Liuli in a short period of time!

"Brother Dongfang, since you don't have a girlfriend, how about I be your girlfriend?"

puff!

While Dongfang Bai was dumbfounded, the black cat almost lost control of its strength and ruined the clothes with the iron. Luckily, the clothes were of good quality.

"No, no, no, how old are you?"

Dongfang Bai's 'childish declaration' greatly displeased Wukou Hinata, who raised her head and said, "Then just wait for me for another six years, okay? I can get married in six years!"

marry?!

Is this child serious?

Dongfang Bai felt as if a thousand alpacas had trampled over his heart; his emotions were incredibly complex. Wasn't this child far too precocious?

In Japan, the legal marriage age for girls is indeed 16, but it's unexpected that Hinata Itsuko knew this so clearly and even said it out loud.

"no!"

Ruri Gokou slammed her hand on the table, leaving the clothes still wet, and walked over. Hinata Gokou raised an eyebrow and spoke again.

"Hey, why not? Brother Dongfang doesn't have a girlfriend, right, Brother Dongfang?"

Hinata Gokou's tone and manner of speaking made her older sister, Ruri Gokou, clench her fists tightly, but after a while, she could only let go. Yes, what she said made perfect sense.

"But perhaps Senior Dongfang also has someone he likes?"

Ruri Gokou asked, and Dongfang Bai was taken aback. After thinking for a moment, he said, "It is true that he does have someone he likes."

"Huh?!"

At this moment, Hinata Gokou was completely dumbfounded, and Ruri Gokou next to her was also stunned. So, Higashikata actually had someone he liked?!

"Senior Dongfang, who is this 'person you like' you're talking about?"

Ruri Gokou swallowed hard. She had to admit that Dongfang Bai's words had stung her. She felt as if she was about to lose something, so she was quite upset and immediately spoke up.

"I like so many people, let me think... my little sister, the neighbor next door, my childhood sweetheart from the street, the fairy princess, the fallen angel..."

"Wait, the first ones are fine, but what are the ones that come after?!"

Hinata Gokou complained, "What kind of weird stuff is Dongfang Bai talking about? What's with all this nonsense about a fairy princess and a fallen angel? What kind of rubbish is this?"

"Could it be..."

Hinata Gokou narrowed her eyes. It was very likely that Higashikata, who said this, was also someone who was immersed in his own world, just like his sister, which was what was traditionally called "chuunibyou" (middle school syndrome).

That's chuunibyou (middle school syndrome)!!!

However, what Dongfang Bai said was entirely true; it was just that the girl in front of him didn't believe it.

"That kind of person can't be called someone you like at all."

Gokou Hyuga rolled her eyes. Judging from this, her sister's chances of winning were still promising. Gokou Ruri also breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that Dongfang Bai was just joking.

That sudden movement really got her on edge, and now she's suddenly relaxed. That rollercoaster of emotions is quite frightening.

"Then there won't be any problem with me marrying Brother Dongfang!!"

"So how exactly did you come to this conclusion?"

Dongfang Bai's lips twitched. He couldn't understand the child's thoughts at all, but he found it quite interesting, so he kept smiling. Gokou Ruri, however, seemed unable to hold back any longer and spoke again.

"No."

"Why not? Big Brother doesn't have a girlfriend either. Oh, if Sister Liuli were Big Brother Dongfang's girlfriend, I would give up~"

This brat...

At this moment, both Dongfang Bai and Wukou Liuli had already seen through Wukou Hyuga's thoughts; she was clearly trying to bring Dongfang Bai and Wukou Liuli together.

"This……"

For a moment, Gokou Ruri didn't know how to refute it. She couldn't possibly say something like, "Then I'm Dongfang Bai's girlfriend." She absolutely couldn't say that.

Besides, even if she said it, she didn't know how Dongfang Bai would treat her, and she would feel quite uncomfortable if he made things difficult for her.

Tsk, I must teach her a lesson after Senior Dongfang leaves.

Ruri Gokou clicked her tongue slightly, her expression as if she were looking at an ant. Knowing how terrifying her older sister was, Hinata Gokou obediently shut her mouth, knowing that what followed would not be a simple 'punishment'.

"The rain outside still seems quite heavy. Why don't you come to my room for a while, Senior Dongfang? I'd also like you to take a look at my manuscript..."

"no problem."

Dongfang Bai readily agreed to Gokou Ruri's request, and Gokou Ruri seized the opportunity to leave with Dongfang Bai, glaring at Gokou Hyuga before leaving.

"Oh dear, oh dear, Sister Liuli can't go on like this. If Brother Dongfang is taken away, she'll have nowhere to cry."

As Gokou Ruri and Dongfang Bai left, Gokou Hinata sighed softly. Although she was only ten years old, she was much more mature than her peers.

"Hinata-nee, what do you mean by 'snatched away'? Is someone trying to steal Onii-chan?"

"Xiaozhu, you're still young. You'll understand later."

Hinata Gokou gently patted Tamaki Gokou's head, then sighed again. She still hoped that Higashikata would end up with Ruri-nee in the end; otherwise, given Ruri-nee's personality, she wouldn't even have friends, let alone a boyfriend.

Wait a minute, if Brother Dongfang and Sister Liuli get married, wouldn't he be my brother-in-law?!

Thinking of this, Hinata Gokou sat down next to Tamaki Gokou with an excited expression, pondering the matter. Tamaki, however, was completely baffled and could only sit obediently to the side.

……

"Please come in."

Ruri Gokou opened the door to her room and gestured for Dongfang Bai to come in. Dongfang Bai didn't stand on ceremony and went straight in, looking around with some curiosity.

It's a classic Japanese-style room, but it doesn't have any girly pink vibes at all. There's a simple desk and laptop, with a bookshelf next to it filled with light novels and various papers covered in writing.

On the table next to it was a bag with the cover of "Magical Girl Meruru". You could guess what was inside with your toes. On the floor was a purple circular "six-pointed star" magic circle rug.

In addition, there is a sewing machine, a wooden wardrobe, and a bed. You can tell at a glance that this room belongs to an otaku.

"Does my room surprise you?"

Ruri Gokou also noticed Hiroshi Dongfang's curious gaze as he looked around. Although it was impolite to enter a girl's room and look around, Kuroneko didn't mind.

"It was just a little unexpected."
