"Yay! Going out with Sister Liu and big brother Wise!" Soukaku raised her hands high, as happy as a child. And on either side of her stood Tsukishiro Liu and Wise.
"Soukaku, watch where you're going. Be careful not to fall," Liu hurriedly reminded her. And her worry was not without reason. She had just finished speaking when Soukaku, because she was too excited, suddenly lost her footing. Fortunately, the two people next to her reacted in time and grabbed her hand at the same time.
"I told you to be careful. Well? Were you scared?" Liu held Soukaku's left hand. Her tone was gentle, and at the same time, she reached out to pat her head.
"I'm fine, Sister Liu. Thank you just now, you and big brother Wise." Soukaku smiled at the corner of her mouth. Looking at the two people who were also holding her, she suddenly said, "Sister Liu, big brother Wise, we look like a family like this!"
"Mmm... mhm, y-yes." Tsukishiro Liu was taken aback at first after hearing Soukaku's words, but she still nodded hesitantly. At the same time, she carefully glanced at Wise beside her. In fact, not long after they had gone out, Liu had already thought of this. It was just that she had not said it out loud, but instead, it was said by Soukaku.
"Hm? So in Soukaku's eyes, it's just 'like'? I've already seen you as a younger sister for a long time." Wise pretended to be sad and poked Soukaku's forehead with his index finger. The latter at this time also felt that she had said something wrong, so she hurriedly tried to remedy it. "No, that's not it. Soukaku has also seen big brother Wise as family for a long time. Big brother Wise is very good to me. It's just, it's just..."
I want to be even closer to big brother Wise, to become a real family in name! Thinking this, Soukaku looked at Tsukishiro Liu on the side. The other party still maintained a calm and gentle smile, as if she didn't have much feeling for the topic just now. Sister Liu doesn't seem to like big brother Wise that much. What should I do? If Sister Liu doesn't get together with big brother Wise, then big brother Wise will be snatched away by other sisters.
Soukaku was very troubled in her heart. She also didn't dare to directly state her thoughts, because after Tsukishiro Liu found out, she would definitely try for her sake. Although big brother Wise was very good, if Sister Liu didn't like him, forcing them to be together would not bring happiness. Since that's the case...
"Does big brother Wise like Soukaku?"
"Eh? I do. After all, Soukaku is so cute. But why are you suddenly asking this?" Wise was still a little confused. But Soukaku shook her head with dissatisfaction, did not answer the former's question, and instead continued to speak.
"It's not that kind of like. It's the kind of... mmm, the kind of like where you want to kiss and sleep together. Big brother Wise... mmmph!"
Soukaku was about to continue, but Tsukishiro Liu on the side suddenly covered her small mouth with her hand. At the same time, she carefully looked around. After seeing that no one else had noticed them, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, Wise on the side still had a shocked expression on his face. Tsukishiro Liu then said to Soukaku in an educational tone, "Phew... Soukaku, you're still young. How can you say such things? Did you watch some strange film again?"
"Mmm, Sister Liu, I'm not young anymore! Although I'm not as big as Sister Liu, I-I'm already an adult!" Soukaku said with some unconvincedness. This was a rare time for her to refute Tsukishiro Liu's words. The latter couldn't help but be a little surprised.
And Wise on the side, although he had almost been taken away because of Soukaku's astonishing words just now, seeing that the situation was not right, he also hurriedly went forward to smooth things over. "I heard that the tea & milk shop in front has a new flavor. It looks particularly delicious. Does Soukaku want to go and queue up first?"
"Is what big brother Wise said true? That's great! Then I'll go ahead. You guys hurry up and follow!" Soukaku said and regardless of the previous argument, she directly let go of their hands and ran off, leaving the two of them on the spot. Tsukishiro Liu hurriedly called out to her to be careful.
The two then also quickened their pace, wanting to catch up with Soukaku. On the way, Wise also persuaded Liu, "Liu, you don't have to mind too much. Soukaku is just a child. She probably came into contact with these things inadvertently. Just like just now, she will forget everything after a while."
"Mhm. That being said, but as Soukaku said, she has indeed grown up a lot now." Tsukishiro Liu nodded, also not denying Wise's words.
When they arrived in front of the tea & milk shop, Soukaku had already ordered the tea & milk. The two, seeing this, both subconsciously took out their wallets to pay. The same action made the shop assistant, Coco, not know what to do for a moment. "Um, you two customers..." Coco naturally recognized Wise. It was just that the girl next to him had changed again?
Wise didn't care about Coco's inner thoughts, because Tsukishiro Liu on the side insisted on speaking. "Soukaku and I have been under your care so much before. It's just a cup of tea & milk. Please don't be polite."
Since Liu had already said so, Wise also did not refuse. After accepting the payment, Coco handed the tea & milk to them with a meaningful look. "Mhm, the new flavor is really delicious! Sister Liu, big brother Wise, you should try it too!" Soukaku said with a happy face after taking a big sip of her tea & milk.
The two, hearing this, looked at each other and smiled. In this rare holiday, Tsukishiro Liu experienced a warm atmosphere. She couldn't help but wonder, if she really got together with Wise, would this warm atmosphere continue forever?
Liu subconsciously looked at Wise beside her. The feeling he gave her was very reassuring, and he was also very good to Soukaku. Even she, who had never considered a partner before, had to admit that he was a perfect marriage partner for her.
Lost in thought, the three continued to enjoy their holiday. For dinner, they found a restaurant with very good reviews online. Coincidentally, this restaurant was also holding a couples' half-price event. Originally, Liu had no intention of participating, because she and Wise were not a couple yet, and she didn't care about this little discount. But due to Soukaku's heckling, the two ended up enjoying the half-price event.
By the time they were ready to go home at night, Soukaku was so sleepy she couldn't open her eyes and fell asleep on Wise's back. Wise, carrying Soukaku, didn't feel very heavy. Although she ate a lot, she was so small she was quite light. Part of the reason might be that Wise himself was not weak.
"I'm sorry, to trouble you again." On the way home, Tsukishiro Liu said with some embarrassment again. Actually, she had originally planned to carry Soukaku back herself. But Wise had said he was worried about Liu's body. Constrained by his kindness, Liu had handed Soukaku over to Wise and walked beside him herself.
For a woman who is strong herself, there is nothing more touching than being cared for when she is weak.
