Summoner: Recognize Kain as the big brother at the beginning

Just as the two were immersed in the aroma of roasted meat, a slight rustling sound broke the silence. Yuxi looked up inadvertently and found a petite figure standing behind Kain.

"Brother, there is someone behind you." Yuxi reminded softly.

"You just saw it now. You need to be more vigilant," Kain joked.

Then, a pretty girl walked out from behind Kain. Her eyes were fixed on the barbecue in Yuxi's hand, as if she could smell the tempting aroma.

"It smells so good." She couldn't help but exclaim.

In the light of the fire, the girl's delicate features were particularly eye-catching, and Yuxi couldn't help but exclaim: "Wow, brother, this girl looks so much like you."

Kain frowned and glared at Yuxi, but Yuxi didn't care and continued to joke, "Is this your daughter?"

Kain was obviously impatient. He said coldly, "Are you sick?"

Seeing that Kain was angry, Yuxi quickly stopped smiling and explained, "It was just a joke. I just wanted to liven up the atmosphere. Don't mind it, big brother."

Kain snorted coldly and turned sideways to continue enjoying his barbecue. But Kain acted too cold.

Yuxi watched the little girl walking towards him, his eyes still fixed on the barbecue in his hands.

At this time, the little girl finally spoke. She whispered softly, "Big brother, can you give me something to eat?"

When Yuxi heard her plea, she couldn't help but wonder in her heart: "The system didn't give any hints. What kind of creature is this? Is it a human? However, her appearance in such a strange place is too inappropriate."

"Big brother?" the little girl called softly again.

"Hey! I'm calling you." Kain reminded.

Yuxi came back to her senses and said, "Ah? Oh, what did you say?"

The little girl said pitifully, "Big brother, I haven't eaten for two days. I'm so hungry. I escaped here from Jinting City, and there are terrible demons everywhere." She sobbed as she spoke, which made people feel pity for her.

Yuxi thought to himself that since Kain did not do anything, the little girl might really be just a helpless vagrant. He felt pity for her and gently cut the horse meat in half, handing one of the pieces to the little girl.

"Here, take it and eat it, eat slowly so you don't choke."

The little girl gratefully took it with both hands and put it into her mouth eagerly, seeming to forget that her hands were still covered with dust. With stars twinkling in her eyes, she sincerely praised: "Thank you, big brother, you are such a good person!"

Yuxi watched her wolfing down the food, and a trace of worry welled up in his heart. He asked softly, "Little girl, how old are you this year?"

After the little girl swallowed the meat, she whispered, "Brother, I am twelve years old."

Yuxi was slightly stunned and said in surprise: "Only twelve years old? You are really brave. What about your family?" As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly realized the sensitivity of the question.

As expected, Xiao Xiao's eyes dimmed, and her cheerful expression from the barbecue turned heavy. She whispered, "I am the only one left in my family. My parents were eaten by the demons... Woohoo, they hid me in a water tank and I escaped..." As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, and her sobbing was heartbreaking.

Kain covered his head with his hands, looking impatient, and urged: "If she cries, comfort her."

Yuxi was immediately flustered and hurriedly comforted her, "Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked. Don't cry, it's not good for your health."

Xiao Xiao's crying gradually subsided, and she comforted Yuxi: "Big brother, I don't blame you, it's just... I'm too hungry, can you give me some more food?"

"I still have some barbecue left. You can take some and I'll grill some new ones for you." He generously handed over the barbecue that he had only eaten two bites of. The little girl seemed to be in a happier mood because of this.

Xiao Xiao smiled sweetly and said gratefully, "Thank you, big brother."

Yuxi responded: "You're welcome. Is this barbecue enough to fill you up?"

Xiao Xiao's face flushed, she lowered her head shyly and whispered softly: "Actually... I'm still hungry. I haven't eaten for two days."

"That's okay, take your time eating, I'll roast some more for you." Yuxi said considerately, while using the dagger in her hand to lightly cut a few pieces of horse meat and slowly roasted them over the fire.

Yuxi looked at Xiaoxiao and couldn't help but sigh at her beauty and tenderness, thinking to himself: "What a charming little girl. She has such a fascinating face at such a young age." He continued to grill the meat, but his thoughts drifted far away.

Then, he remembered that Kain seemed to have only eaten one piece of barbecue, so he asked with concern: "Brother, are you full?"

Kain glanced at him, a barely perceptible smile flashed across his lips, and he shook his head slightly, indicating that he was full. He pulled out a cloth and carefully wiped the blade until it sparkled, then put away the knife with satisfaction.

"I'm full~~" Kain said lightly.

Yuxi didn't care about the strange way Kain spoke.

After grilling another piece of horse meat, he handed part of it to Xiao Xiao. He couldn't wait to take a bite and immediately felt that the meat was delicious and had an excellent taste. Although there was no seasoning, the taste was unforgettable.

"Why is this barbecue so delicious?" Yuxi couldn't help but exclaim.

Xiao Xiao nodded in agreement: "Yeah, my brother's grilled meat is really delicious."

Hearing their praise, Kain explained calmly, "This isn't a horse from the Misty Forest, so it's not affected by the mist. Of course, it tastes better."

Yuxi suddenly realized: "So that's it."

After finishing the barbecue, Yuxi found that Kain had fallen asleep casually lying on the ground. He quickly cleared a clean area and was about to lie down to rest.

"Brother, I don't even know your name yet." Xiao Xiao approached and asked softly.

"My name is Yuxi."

"Then Brother Yuxi..." Xiaoxiao's tone was filled with anticipation: "Can Xiaoxiao sleep with you?"

Yuxi was slightly stunned, then politely refused: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate, you can just sleep next to me."

Xiaoxiao looked pitiful: "But the night's chill makes Xiaoxiao feel unbearable...Brother Yuxi, Xiaoxiao promises that she will not move and will be very obedient. Really, Xiaoxiao just wants to hug her brother and fall asleep."

Yuxi hesitated and suggested, "If you feel cold, I can cover you with my coat." He hoped that this would make Xiaoli give up.

However, tears welled up in Xiaoxiao's big, crystal clear eyes.

"Wuwuwu...Brother Yuxi, you don't hate Xiaoxiao, do you?" Her voice trembled a little.

Seeing this, Yuxi panicked: "No, I have never had the habit of sleeping in the arms of others."

"Wow, wow, wow... Xiaoxiao has slept with her mother since she was young... If I don't hold someone else, I can't fall asleep... Every time night falls, I dare not lie in bed alone." Xiaoxiao sobbed, and her voice revealed a hint of helplessness, but she accidentally woke up Kain next to her.

Kain frowned and said impatiently: "Why are you crying? Since she wants to hold you to sleep, then just hold you."

Yuxi hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "...Okay."

So, Yuxi lay stiffly on the ground, feeling the warm embrace of Xiaoxiao and the exotic flower fragrance emanating from her body. He tried his best to turn his head away to prevent his thoughts from wandering.

Under the starry sky and bright moonlight, Yuxi slowly closed her eyes.
