Liu Zilang was speechless when he saw Zhang Xiaotong's message.
'Sister complex?
I'm just trying to ease my relationship with her.
Become normal.
How did I become a sister complex? '
Just as Liu Zilang was about to explain himself, Zhang Xiaotong sent him a few more messages as though she was a chatterbox.
"Haha, uncle, you must be a sister complex." (Covering mouth and laughing emoji)
"Mmm, I'm so envious of your sister."
"You must really care about her. It would be great if my brother could treat me like you do." (Crying emoji)
Liu Zilang was slightly stunned when he saw these messages.
He scratched his head and pondered for a while before typing, "Your brother might really care about you, but you just don't feel it. Maybe he's trying to ease your relationship."
As soon as Liu Zilang sent the message, Zhang Xiaotong quickly replied, "Hmph!
That's not it!
He doesn't care about me at all. "
"Then what do you think is considered caring?" Liu Zilang probed.
"Mmm …" Zhang Xiaotong was silent for a while as if she was thinking.
Not long after, a long paragraph of messages was sent over.
"Don't stay in the room alone. Watch TV with me sometimes, understand my hobbies, and bring me out to play during the holidays."
"Also, wake me up in the morning and say good morning. If I'm sleepy, make breakfast, feed me, and send me to school …"
"Also, say good night to me when you sleep at night. If I can't sleep, coax me, it's best if …"
Liu Zilang looked at Zhang Xiaotong's messages and his face darkened …
In the end, the corner of his eye twitched.
'F * ck!
'How is this brother?
Even a boyfriend can't do this, right? '
Liu Zilang felt that Zhang Xiaotong was basically talking about the plot of a comic novel.
'This girl must have watched too many comics. How could there be such a brother in real life?
'Good morning?
'Good night?
'Isn't it awkward to say this every day as a family?'
However, there were some things that were fine, such as bringing her out to play and understanding her hobbies …
Liu Zilang interrupted Zhang Xiaotong who was still daydreaming and typed, "That … I think what you said makes a lot of sense, but these things have to be done in an orderly manner. It's best to do it step by step, so you have to give your brother a chance first."
Zhang Xiaotong was silent for a while. Then, she replied, "Yes, but my brother won't care about me."
It seemed that the little girl was a little disappointed.
Liu Zilang chuckled when he saw the message.
That might not be the case!
At this point, he felt that he was almost done chatting. The more he spoke, the more mistakes he would make. If Zhang Xiaotong saw through him, he would be done for.
Therefore, Liu Zilang quickly typed, "Alright, I suggest that you give it a try. I'm going to eat too, let's have chicken dinner next time if we have the chance."
Zhang Xiaotong was probably feeling dejected at that moment. She only replied with a "Hmm" when she saw the message and did not say anything else.
.....
After dusk, the last rays of the setting sun disappeared from the window of the living room.
The sky outside the window gradually darkened.
Liu Zilang switched on the lights and lay on the sofa in the living room, absent-mindedly watching the television.
"Creak!"
Zhang Xiaotong's door opened.
Wearing koala pajamas, she came out with a lunchbox. She was stunned when she saw Liu Zilang lying on the sofa watching the television. Then, she silently lowered her eyes and walked toward the kitchen.
Liu Zilang heard movement behind him and turned around. When he saw Zhang Xiaotong, he quickly stood up and blocked her way. "Let me do it!
I'll help you wash it later. "
Hearing Liu Zilang's words, Zhang Xiaotong raised her head and looked at him suspiciously. However, she still put down the lunchbox and turned around to return to her room.
Liu Zilang would not let go of such a good opportunity. He immediately smiled and said, "Xiaotong, why don't we watch the television together and chat?"
Unexpectedly, when Zhang Xiaotong heard Liu Zilang's words, she suddenly shrunk back.
The smile on Liu Zilang's face instantly froze.
'Didn't you ask for this?'
Then, he suddenly came to a realization.
'That's right.'
It was indeed awkward for the two of them who did not talk much to each other to suddenly sit together and watch the television.
Thinking about this, Liu Zilang smiled again and said, "Then let's chat. Oh right, you like anime, right? Actually, I quite like anime too …"
Hearing Liu Zilang's words, Zhang Xiaotong pursed her lips. Suddenly, she tilted her head and looked at him. The expression on her face was obvious that she did not believe him.
Seeing that, Liu Zilang hurriedly said, "It's true, it's true. Aren't you guys in anime now?
When I was young, I liked to watch anime too. Things like the Flying Little Policewoman, Schuck and Betta … "
Halfway through his sentence, he saw that Zhang Xiaotong's face seemed to be a little dark. Suddenly, he embarrassedly stopped his "reminiscence".
Zhang Xiaotong expressionlessly raised her head and looked at him again. The corner of her mouth twitched.
This time, it seemed like she was really going back to her room.
At that moment, Liu Zilang also knew that what he said earlier was probably a little off topic. He looked at Zhang Xiaotong and was about to walk away.
In a hurry, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and blurted out, "Have you watched Fate's Void before?"
When Zhang Xiaotong heard that, she felt that it was a little familiar.
Then, she suddenly stopped in her tracks. She turned her head and looked at Liu Zilang with a pair of big eyes.
Seeing that, Liu Zilang was secretly happy. He felt that he had hit the nail on the head.
However, the next moment, Zhang Xiaotong's face suddenly turned red. She stared at Liu Zilang shyly and angrily. "Pervert!"
After saying that, she stomped her feet and walked out of the room in her slippers. Then, she closed the door with a "bam".
.....
'Pervert?
'How am I a pervert?'
Liu Zilang looked at Zhang Xiaotong's back dumbfoundedly. He was suddenly at a loss.
Speaking of which, he had very little contact with things like anime. Other than watching some anime when he was young, he basically did not watch anything else.
As for the Fate's Void that was mentioned earlier, Liu Zilang had actually not watched it before. The reason why he knew the name was because Li Muqiu in his previous team liked to watch it.
Three years ago, when he had just joined the team, he happened to see Li Muqiu sneakily staring at the computer one night.
When he moved closer, Li Muqiu suddenly turned off the screen.
Liu Zilang asked him what he was watching. Li Muqiu said that it was nothing, just an anime. Then, he excitedly introduced it to Liu Zilang.
He said that the anime he was watching was called Fate's Void. It was a godly work that talked about human kinship. Men would fall silent after watching it, women would cry after watching it … and so on.
Liu Zilang suddenly thought of this earlier, so he said it casually.
However, at that moment, he thought about Zhang Xiaotong's reaction and Li Muqiu's constant cheeky expression when he introduced it.
Suddenly, he felt that something was amiss!
Thinking about this, Liu Zilang quickly took out his phone and found Li Muqiu's number.
"What's the content of the anime that you told me about before?"
As soon as the call was connected, Liu Zilang went straight to the point.
On the other end, Li Muqiu was stunned. He asked curiously, "What anime?"
"The one that you watched the other night. It's a godly work that talks about human kinship." Liu Zilang reminded him in an unfriendly tone.
"Uh … What's wrong?" Li Muqiu asked cautiously.
"I recommended it to someone else." Liu Zilang said.
"Who?" Li Muqiu asked.
"My sister." Liu Zilang answered.
"…" Li Muqiu was speechless.
The next moment, a busy tone came from the other end of the phone.
"Hello?
Hello? "Liu Zilang picked up his phone and saw that the call had been disconnected.
Instantly, his face darkened. He dialed the number again.
"Sorry, the user you have dialed is powered off …"
A melodious female voice came from the phone.
