My name is Levi, and I work in anime.

The female teacher, who was paired with Hiratsuka Shizuka as the smoking and drinking duo, waved her fist in a show of defiance, but considering the fighting strength of both sides, it had no deterrent effect whatsoever.

However, Li Wei truly felt the deep love and care these two had for their younger sister.

"But I've also signed marriage certificates with other people," the boy said helplessly.

“I don’t care about that, you young people can handle your own affairs.” The older sister, also an older woman eager to get married, wouldn’t back down: “Anyway, you have to take responsibility.”

"elder sister……"

Seeing Li Wei's somewhat conflicted expression, Katsura Hinagiku said something with a touch of sympathy, only to be glared at by her older sister.

It's true what they say, daughters grow up and leave home, always siding with outsiders. I'm helping you pursue your own happiness, and you're already thinking of siding with that brat. If I don't take care of you, you can be a bridesmaid holding flowers at his wedding, heartbroken on the sidelines. And damn it, I don't even have a boyfriend myself!

Thinking of this, Gui Xuelu couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

Little chick.

After hearing what the two sisters said, Li Wei couldn't help but look at the pink-haired beauty he had known for a long time, and fell into memories.

Chapter 46 The Clash Between Sister Complex and Brother Complex

Li Wei first met the daisy when he was six years old.

At that time, the adorable little boy was sitting in the kindergarten library reading a book, with snacks beside him and a fan blowing on him. He would occasionally rock the cradle next to him to help Maria, the newly adopted baby of the kindergarten, fall asleep peacefully.

This kind of child should never be handed over to Gintoki, otherwise he might end up raising a girl with a bun hairstyle who eats vinegar and carries a folding umbrella.

Just as he came across the phrase "The female always overcomes the male through stillness" from the Tao Te Ching, the sound of a motorcycle engine suddenly came from outside the door.

It was undoubtedly only Hiratsuka-nee who would come to the kindergarten on her motorcycle on weekends. Li Wei put the book back on the shelf, covered Maria in the cradle with a blanket, and prepared to go out to greet Hiratsuka-nee.

But at that moment, he heard the footsteps of three people, and the dignified little beauty chatting and laughing with others.

"Avi, this is Katsura Yukiji, my classmate. She brought her younger sister to visit you because she heard about your situation." Hiratsuka-nee, who was still a high school girl at the time, didn't look too good. She gave off the feeling that someone was eyeing a dragon's treasure.

"Oh my, is this your little brother, Xiaojing? He's so cute!"

At this time, before her parents ran away with 80 million yen in debt, and before she herself almost dropped out of school, Katsura Yukiro still seemed sunny and strong, completely unlike the alcoholic she would become later.

She squatted down to look the boy up and down, then reached out and pinched Li Wei's cheek, making comments with a giggle.

This is the downside of being a minor. When faced with bullying from an older girl, it's not good to fight back and beat her to her knees, but not fighting back might embolden the other person to become even more aggressive.

"Stop pinching Avi's cheeks, you rascal."

Finally, still indignant, Hiratsuka slapped Katsura Yukiji's hand away and tenderly rubbed Li Wei's reddened cheek: "Honestly, he's not your brother, you don't feel sorry for him when you pinch him."

"Tsk tsk, you care about him so much, you don't mean you want to start the reverse Genji plan from a young age, and then play the siblings when they grow up... Okay, okay, I was wrong, Hina, don't hit me."

The older sister, who couldn't keep her mouth shut, was immediately given a severe scolding by her younger sister after saying such a thing.

Are all high school girls like this nowadays? I'm really worried about the future of this country.

"I'm very sorry, my sister just speaks without thinking, and I apologize on her behalf."

Both were six years old, but the pink-haired girl looked incredibly cute and earnest, bowing and apologizing in a very polite manner. This made Li Wei, who prided himself on treating people with courtesy, have a very high initial impression of her.

"Not at all, Xuelu is a very honest and straightforward person with a very charming personality," Li Wei immediately returned the greeting.

"Isn't my little sister adorable? She's practically an angel!"

Seeing her younger sister like this, Gui Xuelu couldn't stop smiling. And when she saw the cute little boy Li Wei, she was even happier.

This guy is a total siscon.

"She is indeed very cute, but unfortunately, Avi is number one in the field of cuteness." Hiratsuka Shizuka decisively corrected her classmate's mistake.

"Are you kidding me? I admit your brother is indeed very cute, but cute boys have a short bloom. My sister is much better. She's fragrant, soft, understanding, and athletic."

"Huh? You're the one joking." Hiratsuka rolled her eyes at her classmate. "Only older sisters with maternal instincts would like a child who's still wet behind the ears. Isn't what normal people like about Avi the mature aura he exudes? No matter what happens, I won't panic as long as I have Avi by my side."

"Admit it, you're a shota enthusiast [does this even need censorship?], my little sister is the cutest." This guy gets super excited when it comes to Katsura Hinagiku: "Look at my sister's face, look at her well-behaved personality, look at her figure—okay, actually she's just not developed yet, when she grows up she'll definitely be incredibly hot with a great figure!"

"You shouldn't take out a loan in advance. The more you say that, the more likely she is to become physically frail in the future."

"How could that be? Admit it, you brother-obsessed idiot! Your little brother's cuteness level is at most 6000, while Hina's is at least 10000 or more!"

"What do you mean I'm a brother-complex? You're the one with a sister-complex, aren't you?"

"So, do you admit that my sister is cuter?"

"Damn it, Avi is definitely cuter!"

"No, no, no, no!"

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

And so, the two high school girls had a lively and heated discussion about the aesthetics of intelligent beings and the future growth of their younger siblings. Naturally, neither of them convinced the other.

These two high school students actually started arguing over such a strange reason, even though they are already seventeen years old and about to become adults.

Compared to them, the two six-year-old boys and girls actually looked more mature.

The two exchanged a glance, then decisively grabbed each other's hands and ran away, leaving the two high school girls still arguing about whose child was cuter.

The two newly acquainted friends spent the whole afternoon reading, playing games, eating snacks, watching TV, changing Maria's diapers together, discussing their older sisters' silly antics, dreaming about the future, and promising to play together again next time.

The two older sisters were joking that since they were so close, they should get married when they grew up, and their children would definitely be even cuter.

Unfortunately, this wish was not fulfilled.

According to Hiratsuka-nee, her family faced a debt crisis shortly after the two met. Her parents abandoned the two sisters to escape their debts and disappeared. The entire family relied on Katsura Yuki, a high school student, to go to school, work, and take care of her younger sister. From then on, Katsura Yuki, who used to be very cheerful, rarely smiled.

It wasn't until Hiratsuka and a few others stepped in to help, and Li Wei cured the creditor's family member's illness, that they agreed to forgive a large portion of the debt, with the remainder to be repaid gradually.

Time flies, and the pink-haired little girl of yesteryear has become one with the perfect high school class president, only ten years have passed.

"Anyway, I don't care what happened, Xiaochu likes you very much." Gui Xuelu turned to look at Li Wei: "My sister is not a straightforward person. Even if there are various reasons, the marriage certificate has been signed after all."

“I know,” Li Wei replied softly.

"That's settled then. You need to take responsibility."

The older female teacher with green hair took her younger sister and the boy's hands and made them hold each other: "Let bygones be bygones, but you two must be happy in the future. It's better to look forward to the future than to dwell on the past."

Suffering can help people grow and be tempered; Gui Xuelu would never have said such a thing before.

After that, Li Wei glanced at Katsura Hinagiku and then made up his mind to awaken.

"Thank you, Yukiji-nee. You can rest assured and leave Hina to me."

With that, Li Wei reached out and picked up Katsura Hinagiku around the waist, then turned and walked away.

"Wait...wait a minute, there are still people outside!"

“Let them watch, that way everyone will know and won’t gossip behind their backs.”

"Put me down first!"

"The happiness I've grasped is something I'll never let go of."

With those words in hand, Li Wei ran off, clutching the hibiscus, amidst cheers and jeers from the onlookers.

Chapter 47 The Sour Smell of Youthful Romance

"What are you looking at? Move along!"

After her younger sister was taken away by that brat Li Wei, Gui Xuelu rudely chased away the onlookers who were still peering out the door.

I'm so sad. My little sister, this beautiful cabbage, is about to be snatched up by that brat Li Wei.

But there's nothing I can do. Xiaochu is very picky about tastes. She doesn't like any other boys, but she's taken a liking to this handsome young man. What's so great about him... Well, actually he is quite good, and I like him a lot too.

The thought of my younger sister, dressed like a legendary heroine, walking down the aisle with Li Wei at their wedding while I could only offer my silent blessings from the audience, gave me a feeling of being doubly twisted.

"Hey, Yukiji, what happened here?" Kirisu Mafuyu pushed open the door and entered.

She had just returned from outside and was completely unaware of what had happened here.

Because the two were high school classmates and both taught world history, they had a very good relationship, and Gui Xuelu often copied her lecture notes.

"It's nothing, it's just that I'm filled with reluctance as I witness my younger sister about to find happiness in life." Gui Xuelu stared at the ceiling, her whole body turning ashen, and her voice sounding weak and powerless.

"Really? That's quite a coincidence. I also helped my student find happiness, and now that I think about it, I feel a little bittersweet." Kirisu Mafuyu empathized.

"You know, kids these days are really something. They're only in high school and they're already fantasizing about their future happiness. It wasn't like that at all back then."

"Maybe so. The schools these days are filled with the stench of romance. We're adults now."

"Yes."

"And she doesn't even have a boyfriend."

"Yes."

"Almost all the female teachers in the school are like this."

"Yes."

The two female teachers, eager to get married, exchanged a glance and sighed simultaneously.

It's so painful to watch other couples get married and be able to only watch from the sidelines and silently offer your blessings.

"Speaking of which, Hiratsuka's injuries have almost healed, and he should be back in about two weeks."

Since everyone's going to get hurt anyway, I can't be the only one. With this in mind, Gui Xuelu asked the painful question: "Before the competition to become the acting homeroom teacher, you said you were sure you'd succeed. How's it going now? Is it progressing smoothly?"

“Ugh…” Kirisu Mafuyu looked very hurt.

That wretched siscon! Is this how you unleash your sharp tongue now that your sister is leaving you? You woman!

The acting homeroom teacher flew into a rage, slamming his fist on the table and shouting, "Believe it or not, if you piss me off, I'll go and steal your sister's man!"

"Alright, come on, let's have a showdown. There's no way a woman like you, desperate to get married at your age, can beat my sister." Gui Xuelu wasn't afraid at all.

"Even if I'm an older woman desperate to get married, I'm still much better than a drunkard and sister-obsessed guy like you!"

"So what if he's an alcoholic and a sister complex? Unlike some people who actually have special thoughts about their students."

"Then... love knows no age!"

"So, you really do like your own student!" Gui Xuelu's eyes widened. "I was just saying that, I didn't expect you to admit it?"

"..."

"..."

Kirisu Mafuyu's face turned visibly red, making one wonder if she was about to have a stroke due to high blood pressure.

If this were a comic book, visible steam would probably be rising from his head.

"Alright, alright, let's not discuss this anymore."

To avoid truly upsetting her old classmate, Gui Xuelu chuckled and asked, "Speaking of which, who was the boy who helped your student find happiness?"

"Then who is the boy who brought your sister happiness?" the substitute teacher asked rhetorically.

"Why should I tell you?" ×2

"You go first." ×2

"Alright, I'll go first. It's Li Wei." ×2

"..."×2

The two stared at each other and suddenly fell silent, as if the air itself had frozen.

……

Meanwhile, Li Wei, the person involved, carried Katsura Hinagiku, who was pretending to be angry but was only half-pushing her, and sat down in a secluded corner of the school, placing the pink-haired class monitor on his lap.

This scene is so familiar. I remember when I went to Hiratsuka-nee's house to watch horror movies, and Hina was too scared to go to the bathroom at night and came to me with the same expression.

"That's basically it. I already have two hands full of fiancées, and I don't even know how many more I don't know."

After the boy and girl calmed down, Li Wei briefly explained the current situation.

"So you're planning to accept all these so-called fiancées, including non-human ones, right?"

"……You can say that."

"Scumbag!" Li Wei had no way to defend himself.

"Beast!" That's a bit too much.
