Coming out of the house, Zhou Zhongqing closed the door and looked up at the gate of the courtyard, where Miss Ghost was still standing guard dutifully.

Night had completely fallen, and there was only a dim doorlight at the entrance of the courtyard, and the light fell on Miss Ghost, who was motionless in a white dress, and there was no shadow under her, and she was surrounded by dim night, which looked somewhat eerie.

Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching behind her, Bai Yueying looked back and happened to meet Zhou Zhongqing's eyes with a complicated expression.

"Are you coming to me?"

“…… No, go buy something. ”

"Don't worry, with me watching the door, everything is safe!"

It's because you're here that I don't feel safe at all!

Zhou Zhongqing felt helpless about Miss Ghost, who had no self-knowledge, and asked again: "Aren't you tired after standing for so long?" ”

"I'm not tired, and it feels good to have something to do!"

"That...... If you're tired, you can find somewhere else to rest. ”

"Nope."

Bai Yueying shook her head: "I have a very bad memory, if I walk away, I won't be able to find it back." ”

And this kind of good thing? Troubles can be eliminated with one click?

"You don't have to care about me, I won't be tired, if I can be tired to death, that's pretty good!"

“……”

When a ghost is not afraid of death and even expects to die, Zhou Zhongqing can't imagine any other way to hold her.

Fortunately, the convenience store is not far away, just opposite the door of the house, which makes Zhou Zhongqing still distracted to observe her when she goes to buy soy sauce.

Although Miss Ghost has never behaved abnormally, except for looking for death everywhere, but this vigilance still has to be there, since the death of his parents, the only person he can trust unconditionally in this world is his sister, not born with such a character, but after experiencing too many changes and suffering too many losses, he understands that only in this way can he live a better life.

After buying soy sauce and coming back, passing by Bai Yueying's side again, Zhou Zhongqing asked again, "Will you be hungry?" ”

"I—I don't eat...... Just eat it! I'm not hungry. ”

I didn't invite you to dinner either, hey! What's the matter with your shy and reserved appearance!

Miss Ghost's answer is true or false, Zhou Zhongqing can't tell whether it's true or false, but as long as she's not hungry, the danger seems to be a little lower, after all, appetite is the most basic appeal of life, he doesn't know what the ghost eats when he's hungry, as long as the ghost isn't hungry, it's not so dangerous.

Maybe she wanted to starve herself......

Carrying the soy sauce, Zhou Zhongqing returned to the house and habitually turned off the light at the gate of the courtyard.

As the only light at the gate of the courtyard went out, the environment at the door was immediately swallowed up by the dim night, and the figure of the girl in the white dress became unclear.

Bai Yueying didn't speak, just looked up curiously at the light source that had been extinguished, and then continued to stand guard in the night to watch the gate.

But soon, the light at the gate of the courtyard was re-turned on by Zhou Zhongqing.

The light dispelled the darkness that shrouded her, and the orange light illuminated this warm corner for her.

Bai Yueying looked up curiously at the light source that was re-lit above her head, and she didn't feel dazzling, but looked at it in a daze for a while.

As a normal girl, the instinct in her heart is to fear the dark, she can't say that she is afraid, and it is not reassuring to return to the light, but if she has to make a choice, she will prefer to stand under this lamp that is lit for her.

……

Zhou Zhongqing carried the soy sauce back to the bright kitchen, and his sister was standing on the small bench, tiptoeing hard, stretching out her little hand to stir and marinate the chicken wings that had been placed on the plate with some spices.

"Brother, have you bought the soy sauce, pour me some quickly!"

"What are you doing, your clothes are all oily in a while."

Zhou Zhongqing was so angry and funny, but he didn't drive her down, opened the soy sauce and poured a little bit of the chicken wings on the plate, and let his sister be responsible for stirring.

"I'm learning to cook, and when I learn it, I can cook it for you!"

"You'd better grow taller first."

After letting Zhou Xiyu get over the addiction of cooking, it took a while for Zhou Zhongqing to take her off the small bench and let her wash her hands.

"Are you going to fry the chicken wings next?"

"Well, let me see if the chicken wings that Xiao Yu helped marinate today are delicious."

"It's definitely delicious! I'm going to eat two bowls! ”

"When can you eat two bowls of rice, it's not far from growing taller."

Zhou Zhongqing boiled the oil, the marinated chicken wings made a sizzling sound when they got into the pot, and the faint burnt smell also permeated the kitchen, and as time passed, the fragrance became more and more intense.

The little girl arched her delicate nose and sniffed, thinking that she would give a compliment, but she didn't expect to sigh the vicissitudes of life.

"Alas! My brother is so pitiful——! ”

“…… How can I be pitiful? ”

"It's okay if my brother doesn't have a girlfriend to cook and eat, but he still has to cook for his sister, isn't it very pitiful?"

"Where did you learn the mess of things......

"Uncle Ming and Aunt Fang, what they said."

“…… That's what they told you? ”

"No, they said, let me urge my brother to find a girlfriend to be my sister-in-law quickly, so that my brother won't work so hard!"

"What a mess."

Zhou Zhongqing was angry and funny: "Now many girls can't compare to you, they can't even cook, if you find a partner, then your brother and I have to take care of you and take care of her, wouldn't it be more tiring?" ”

"Can't cook rice?!"

"Uh-huh."

"Wouldn't it be nice for my brother to find someone who can cook?"

"You think you can do it?"

"Why not."

Zhou Zhongqing doesn't know how to explain to this little bit, of course it's okay to find someone to fall in love with, but now he doesn't have extra thoughts, you say find a girl who lives wholeheartedly, but it's not so easy in today's society where love is cheap and sincerity is rare, and his family situation is enough to discourage many girls.

When Zhou Zhongqing's idea is very simple, do a good job, get a good job, and then pull his sister up, it sounds simple, but these have consumed all his energy, and he really has no extra thoughts to distract from other things.

……

After dinner, Zhou Zhongqing cleaned up the dishes and went to wash the dishes, and his sister and the cat sat cross-legged on the floor watching TV.

"Don't sit so close to watching TV, you're going to be short-sighted!"

“…… Did Xiao Mang hear it, his brother said don't sit so close when watching TV, you are going to be short-sighted! ”

"Meow ......"

"I'm talking about you!"

"Talk about you! Xiao Mang! ”

Zhou Zhongqing turned around, but his eccentric sister had already honestly returned to the sofa from the floor with the cat in her arms.

"Hey, brother, did you buy incense?"

His backpack and the paper incense he bought were thrown on the sofa, and his sharp-eyed sister naturally found out.

"Do you want to light incense for Mom and Dad today?" Zhou Xiyu said curiously.

"Hmm...... No. ”

This incense was bought by Zhou Zhongqing when he left the subway station, and he thought that Bai Yueying's lying track was gone, and he thought about burning a little for her.

When his parents died two years ago, his sister was still young, and after the labor pains, he had the love and care of his brother, and now he has come out of the haze, compared to his sister, Zhou Zhongqing obviously endured more, but he never showed it in front of his sister.

Thinking of something, Zhou Zhongqing, who came out of the kitchen, said curiously: "Xiao Yu, what if you meet a bad person?" ”

"You can't go with strangers, you can't ask for strangers' things, you have to shout for help when you meet bad people, and you have to call your brother as soon as possible!"

"Well, what if you run into something more dangerous?"

"Well, hmm...... Then take out the ear plucker and pluck the ear! Because the teacher said that when a person plucks his ears, no matter who he is, he can't be touched! ”

Zhou Zhongqing almost didn't squirt out a mouthful of Coke, and said angrily: "Go take a bath, I'll check your homework after taking a shower!" ”

"Whew——!"

Zhou Xiyu screamed and reluctantly went to take a bath.

Zhou Zhongqing took the incense candles he bought back thoughtfully, turned around and opened the door and walked outside.
