The white rose I picked up cried and said she liked me.

"Little Creek, open your mouth, ah~"

In the KFC restaurant in the mall, Izumi Masamune held a piece of Colonel's Chicken in his hand and slowly brought it close to Izumi Sagiri's mouth.

Sagiri opened her small mouth naturally and swallowed the chicken nugget in one gulp.

The cosplayers and tourists watching this scene couldn't help but feel envious.

"Wow, this young man is so doting on this young lady."

"Of course! Look at their attire, one is Izumi Sagiri, and the other is Izumi Masamune, they must be siblings."

"It's perfectly normal for an older brother to dote on his younger sister."

As Xu Xi listened to their conversation, a sweet little joy rose in her heart, and her two little feet, covered in white stockings, swung gently back and forth under the bar stool.

"Are you full?" Xu Nian asked after feeding the girl the last piece of chicken.

Xu Xi gently shook her head, tilted her head back slightly, opened her mouth wide, and dragged out a long, drawn-out "Ah—", looking like an obedient baby waiting to be fed.

"What a little glutton." Xu Nian chuckled helplessly, raised her hand and gently tugged at her fluffy silver hair, then turned and walked towards the food counter to continue ordering.

After changing into this classic brother and sister cosplay outfit, Xu Nian felt a strange sense of familiarity, as if she had instantly returned to the time when the two first met ten years ago.

Back then, Xiaoxi wasn't some wealthy and powerful tycoon; she was just a sweet, clingy little girl who followed him around, waiting for him to make money and feed her.

Although Xu Xi is still the same sweet little girl who follows him around calling him "brother," the huge change in her status and position has made it impossible for Xu Nian to experience the joy of raising her.

It seems that now, it's the older brother who's being raised.

"Sir, your set meal is ready." The waiter handed a tray to Xu Nian.

Xu Nian reached out and took the food, returning to Xu Xi's table.

Xu Xi caught sight of the hamburger on the tray, her eyes lit up instantly, and she couldn't wait to pick it up and take a big bite.

The soft dough wrapped around the tender meat patty, instantly making her cheeks bulge out like a little hamster hoarding food.

"Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you." Xu Nian looked at her eager expression and helplessly pinched her little cheek.

"But it's so delicious!" Xu Xi said, her mouth full of food, her words muffled.

Xu Nian chuckled and handed her a Coke to help her settle down, while she picked up another hamburger, tore open the wrapper, and took a small bite.

Xu Xi is right, it really is delicious.

In Xu Nian's mind, hamburgers, fries, and fried chicken have always been high-end Western dishes that can stand shoulder to shoulder with pasta and steak.

In his youth, he was never willing to eat. Even when he occasionally went into a hamburger shop, it was to reward Xu Xi for getting good grades on her exams. He would sit beside her, watching her eat with a doting expression, her face beaming with happiness.

Today, thanks to the optimization of breeding technology and supply chain, the cost and price of fried chicken burgers have dropped again and again. They are no longer expensive high-end foods and have become one of the most cost-effective lunch solutions for working people.

In fact, at one fried chicken chain store, you can now get a six-piece set of burgers and fried chicken for less than nine yuan.

The childhood regrets etched into one's bones can never be easily erased.

He lacked hamburgers, fries, and fried chicken in his childhood, and now that he has money, he wants to make up for it.

The delicious food I couldn't enjoy as a child, I now want to make up for it now that I have the means.

Forget about heavy oil and salt, cardiovascular burden, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.

Zhang Feng is right. Isn't the point of living this life to eat well?

Life is too short to have fun.

......

After finishing their meal, the two left the restaurant, burping contentedly.

At this moment, the sun had already sunk into the sea of ​​clouds, and a bright moon slowly rose from the horizon. The lantern-shaped streetlights on both sides of the street were lit up one by one, and the neon lights on the signs of shops throughout the market were turned on.

The entire shopping mall appeared even more lively under the lights.

As a girl with two stomachs, Xu Xi naturally couldn't neglect her stomach, which was meant for snacks.

She held Xu Nian's hand and strolled around this stall and that stall, soon filling her hands with all sorts of snacks.

"Brother, try this! This grilled squid is so delicious!" She stretched out her little hand and held a skewer of fragrant grilled squid to Xu Nian's mouth.

Xu Nian's stomach was already full of hamburgers and fried chicken, and she felt nauseous at the sight of the sizzling barbecue. She quickly waved her hand and said, "No, Xiao Xi, I can't eat anymore."

"Alright then." Xu Xi reluctantly withdrew her hand, not bothering to dwell on it. In the blink of an eye, she was attracted by the rich aroma of grilled cold noodles not far away, and skipped over with her snack in hand.

Xu Nian watched her lively figure from behind, feeling both amused and exasperated.

This little girl ate just as much as him at KFC, how come she still has such a good appetite?

What puzzled him even more was that Xu Xi had an amazing appetite and ate so much at every meal, so why didn't she gain weight?

Xiao Chen, who has a similar appetite, has already eaten over 200 pounds and went to cosplay as Snorlax.

Xu Xi still maintains a golden weight of less than 100 pounds, with a slender and petite figure. She plays the role of the frail Izumi Sagiri exactly, which is really puzzling.

Could it be that all the food she ate was secretly transported to another dimension, without being absorbed at all?

As she was pondering, Xu Nian felt her sleeve being gently tugged.

"Hello, little brother!" Two young ladies dressed as platelets called out to Xu Nian, giving him sweet smiles.

"Hello, what can I do for you?" Xu Nian nodded politely in response.

One of the platelet donors pulled out a camera and winked at Xu Nian: "Hey bro, you look so handsome! Can we take a picture together?"

Want to take a photo together?

Xu Nian hesitated.

Now he no longer plays female roles that make him ashamed, and he doesn't mind appearing on camera.

Moreover, cosplayers at anime conventions seem to never refuse requests for photos.

Just as he was about to nod in agreement, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a petite figure rushing towards him out of the corner of his eye.

"Damn, no photos allowed, this is mine!"

Xu Xi pulled Xu Nian behind her and then stared warily at the two platelets. Her two little hands, full of snacks, were raised in front of her chest, making a big X, like a kitten guarding its food, as if it might hiss at any moment.
