This time, there was only one class with Tokiwadai Girls' High School, so I naturally thought of Chen Xiaofeng.
"Oh? Do you know my brother too?"
Minato was a little surprised. What she didn't expect was that Chen Xiaofeng, who was obviously staying at home all the time, would actually meet people from other schools, and there were two of them.
However, compared to Minato's accident, Shirai Kuroko in front of him was indeed more shocked.
"Brother? What! Are you that trash... No, are you Chen Xiaofeng's sister?"
It was very impolite to call her brother by his "nickname" in front of another sister, so Shirai Kuroko quickly changed her tune.
"Impossible! How could that person have such a lovely and beautiful sister like you?"
Minato could only smile and say nothing about this.
"By the way, Shirai-san, how do you know my brother?"
In order to avoid continuing to dwell on this meaningless matter, Minato quickly changed the topic.
"Well... let's talk while walking."
The street lights on both sides of Academy Avenue turned on, and the sun officially set.
"That guy and I... it's really annoying to talk about. I remember it was when school just started. I overslept a little. When I got up, my sister had already gone to school. In order to keep up with her, I
After quickly freshening up, I went out...and then...then..."
Shirai Kuroko's anger level is increasing exponentially. Apparently what she saw was enough to make her anger erupt like a volcano many times.
"Then I saw that guy! Actually! He actually tried to get his hands on my sister's delicate hands!"
You can faintly hear the creaking of bones in the fist clenched in your right hand.
"Well, what happens next?"
Minato had a bad feeling, and his eyebrows like willow leaves trembled unnaturally.
"Then? Then I gave him a little lesson."
Shirai Kuroko's anger disappeared immediately, and then he answered very casually.
Minato seemed to have remembered. That day, he remembered that Teacher Xiaomeng did say that Chen Xiaofeng was in the 177th branch of the Discipline Committee, and that he seemed to be injured... Now combined with Shirai Kuroko's words, the person who injured Chen Xiaofeng seemed to be Minato's "savior"
.
"By the way, your name is Chenase Minato, right?"
"kindness."
"Then I'll call you Minato." Shirai Kuroko's attitude towards Minato was still very friendly, and he was not affected by Chen Xiaofeng at all. "You were the one who quarreled with Chen Xiaofeng in the corridor before, right?"
"Huh?" Minato's pretty face turned red. He had lost his mind just now, so his tone was raised. There was nothing he could do about being heard like that... But the key is, what Minato said before...
Doing frivolous things with other boys... Minato was afraid that Shirai Kuroko would regard her as a casual girl, but fortunately, Shirai Kuroko didn't seem to think so.
"Although I don't know why you quarreled, your brother must feel uncomfortable if you say something like that, right?"
Minato was very puzzled. Shirai Kuroko had been very reluctant to meet Chen Xiaofeng before.
"I know...it's similar to the bond between brother and sister, just like onee-sama and I." Shirai Kuroko said with rare tenderness, "Even if onee-sama usually punishes me with her clicks from time to time,
'Friendly' skin-to-skin contact, but I know that Sister-in-law has always worked very hard, and she will take care of everything by herself, just to not let me worry... Even if she is bruised and bruised, in front of me
He always has a smile on his face.”
Listening to Kuroko Shirai's confession-like words, Minato's thoughts seemed to be opened up, and scenes appeared in front of her eyes, including the "Medusa" incident a year ago and the "moving" incident in the later Qiong.
Well, Chen Xiaofeng never mentioned the "Mount Everest" incident in the Chinese Empire in front of him... Even if he mentioned it occasionally, he would just mention it as "that kind of trivial matter".
Minato still felt a little bit of what Chen Xiaofeng had experienced, and his composure in the face of danger was something he never had before coming to Academy City.
What caused this change was exactly after the "Medusa" incident a year ago.
Although Chen Xiaofeng still had the same childish smile in front of Minato as before, Minato could feel that the brother she knew was getting farther and farther away from her, but even so, Chen Xiaofeng's smile in front of Minato remained the same.
Nothing has changed.
Chen Xiaofeng never mentioned those things to Minato.
Minato knew that Chen Xiaofeng didn't want to make her worry, so he didn't say anything.
But precisely because he didn't say anything, Minato felt that he was no longer as important in Chen Xiaofeng's heart as before, and he had nowhere to vent his feelings.
What Chen Xiaofeng said today was really a trigger.
Shirai Kuroko on the side was still talking to herself, Minato looked at her profile: Shirai Kuroko really likes that "onee-sama".
"There are some things that he didn't say out loud because he didn't want us 'important people' to be involved. This doesn't mean that you are unimportant in his heart. On the contrary, it's because it's too important that he can't say it out loud."
"So, Shirai, can you accept that fact?"
"Minato, just call me Kuroko." Shirai Kuroko smiled slightly, "If it were me, I would definitely not be able to accept it at first... It's normal to have thoughts like 'I'm not important'
Yes, so just say it."
Shirai Kuroko jumped up to Minato.
"Tell him that since we are a family, we should be honest with each other without reservation. There is no such thing as being involved or not. Family members should rely on each other."
"But...I already said that to my brother...I..." Minato was a little at a loss.
"Don't worry, the bond between my sister and I will not be weakened by such things, not to mention that you are brothers and sisters."
Minato smiled softly and understood what Shirai Kuroko meant. She is Chen Xiaofeng's sister, and this alone is an irreplaceable condition.
Kuroko Shirai made a speech similar to a summary, and then scratched the back of his head in a somewhat troubled manner.
"Although it is easy to say it as a guide, but..." Shirai Kuroko's expression looked very unnatural.
"What's wrong, Kuroko?"
"The words I used to enlighten you seem to be of little use to my current sister..."
"Did you quarrel with your sister too?" Minato asked strangely.
"Yeah...it's all because of that guy!"
The guy Shirai Kuroko mentioned could only be Chen Xiaofeng.
