Zongman: The Qilin Child of Xuanyuan Family

The female waiter pointed to a cup on the counter. It had a pink milkshake base, a layer of chopped nuts and coconut in the middle, and the sliced ​​strawberries and blueberries carefully placed on top made it look more exquisite.

"If you don't like it, there are macarons, cupcakes and cookies fresh from the oven."

"Please get me two strawberry smoothies."

Shiina Mahiru's eyes sparkled as she looked at the various desserts on the counter. After the female clerk's introduction, she made up her mind.

As a heavy sweet tooth, Shiina Mahiru felt that coming to this store was like a drunkard entering a bar, and she wanted to pack up everything and take it home.

In front of Xuanyuan Ning, Shiina Mahiru's reason finally prevailed, and the girl's reserve made her know when to stop.

"Okay, please wait a moment."

After confirming Shiina Mahiru's order, the female clerk prepared to go backstage to pack the food.

Seeing Shiina Mahiru's embarrassment, Xuanyuan Ning pointed to the desserts on the counter that Shiina Mahiru had been looking at.

"Hello, could you please get me two of those five-color macarons? And for the mini cakes, could you please get me one each of the strawberry, blueberry, mango... and cookies as well?"

"Thank you."

As soon as she heard that there was a large order, the female clerk quickly took out a pen and paper and began to record the types and quantities of desserts Xuanyuan Ning wanted to buy. While recording, she also did not forget to continue recommending the desserts in the store.

"Sir, this chocolate pudding is also a hot seller in our store. Would you like some? And this strawberry daifuku."

"Mahiru-chan?"

Without answering the female clerk immediately, Xuanyuan Ning looked down at Shiina Mahiru who was looking at him and asked for her opinion.

Shiina Mahiru nodded.

"Then trouble you."

"No trouble!"

Looking at the dense black words on the sticky note in her hand, the female clerk smiled happily, and even her steps to the backstage to pack became a little lighter.

"rather."

Shiina Mahiru also saw the full sticky notes in the female clerk's hand and pulled Xuanyuan Ning.

Xuanyuan Ning is not very fond of desserts at home, so these desserts are undoubtedly bought for himself.

Buying so much at once, is Xuanyuan Ning trying to turn himself into a pig?

But it feels good to be cared for and loved.

Feeling the pull in his hands, Xuanyuan Ning said to Shiina Mahiru seriously, "If you like to eat, eat more. You only have one life, so be good to yourself."

"I understand, Ning."

Shiina Mahiru lowered her head and agreed softly.

This shop is very efficient and the desserts were packed in no time.

Shiina Mahiru volunteered to take the takeaway bag handed to her by the female clerk and stubbornly refused to let Xuanyuan Ning help her carry it.

In Shiina Mahiru's words, it was Xuanyuan Ning who brought her to this dessert shop, and it was Xuanyuan Ning who bought the dessert for her, so the task of taking it back must be given to her.

Otherwise, if she does nothing, sooner or later Xuanyuan Ning will turn her into a useless person.

"It doesn't matter if I turn little Mahiru into a useless person. After all, little Mahiru is my fiancée."

Anyway, the car was just opposite the dessert shop and it was only a two-step walk away. Xuanyuan Ning did not force Shiina Mahiru to hand over the takeout bag to him, but just teased Shiina Mahiru with a funny look.

"No, it's me who made Ning a useless person."

For the first time ever, Shiina Mahiru began to refute Xuanyuan Ning.

After getting back in the car, the two started heading towards home. In order to prevent the desserts in the takeaway box from being broken, Xuanyuan Ning did not drive fast this time.

......

What a cool sports car.

A luxury car drove past, and Hachiman Hikigaya, who had just finished explaining "thoughts" to Yuigahama Yui in the cooking room, glanced at it unconsciously and sighed.

No boy can resist a sports car, even if it's just for visual enjoyment.

But why did he feel that the Koenigsegg Jesko that just drove by looked so familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before...

Without thinking any more, Hikigaya Hachiman weighed the dessert bag in his hand and couldn't help but reveal a sincere smile on his face.

This dessert was bought by Hikigaya Hachiman from the dessert shop that Xuanyuan Ning strongly recommended to him today, and he bought it with the errand fee Xuanyuan Ning gave him.

When he gets home, he wants to try out the delicious desserts in Xuanyuan Ning Anli's dessert shop.

If the food in any dessert shop isn't as delicious as the one he recommended to Xuanyuan Ning, he will criticize Xuanyuan Ning's poor taste from all angles tomorrow.

Using Xuanyuan Ning's money to buy the desserts recommended by Xuanyuan Ning, and then criticizing Xuanyuan Ning after eating them, just thinking about it makes me feel good.

Hikigaya Hachiman decided that no matter whether the desserts in this store were delicious or not, he would say they were not delicious.

Not for anyone else, just to get the ire of Xuanyuan Ning for saying that the cucumber flavor is from a cult.

Before you know it,

Hikigaya Hachiman has already acknowledged that Xuanyuan Ning is his friend.

Chapter 25 Hikigaya Komachi

Click————

As the key was inserted and twisted, the door was pushed open from the outside.

After school, Hikigaya Komachi went home, changed out of her school uniform, and put on a blue home coat. She stopped teasing the fat white cat in her arms and looked towards the entrance to see who had returned.

"I am back."

Putting the handbag in his hand on the umbrella cabinet at the entrance, Hikigaya Hachiman threw the shoulder bag on the ground and started to change his shoes.

"Welcome home, brother."

Hikigaya Komachi poked her head out from the living room, looked towards the entrance and greeted Hikigaya Hachiman. The white cat named Kamakura, who had been staying in Hikigaya Komachi's arms, began to crawl out, trying to hide.

Because Hikigaya Hachiman's parents come home late from work, most of the time Hikigaya Hachiman lives with his biological sister Hikigaya Komachi.

Although they are biological siblings, the status of Hikigaya Hachiman and Hikigaya Komachi in the family is worlds apart. It is no exaggeration to say that one is flying in the sky while the other is crawling on the ground.

As the younger sister, Hikigaya Komachi has a very high status in the family and is loved and even spoiled by her parents.

As the older brother, Hikigaya Hachiman's status and treatment at home are rather pitiful. It can be said that his status and treatment at home are almost the same as his previous status in school, both at the bottom.

"Komachi, brother bought you some dessert today."

Hikigaya Hachiman picked up the handbag on the counter and waved it.

As an older brother, Hikigaya Hachiman did not complain about the huge difference in status between him and his younger sister. On the contrary, he was an extreme sister-con and also doted on Hikigaya Komachi.

This is also the reason why he went to Xuanyuan Ning Anli's dessert shop today to pack up desserts. He wanted Hikigaya Komachi to try the things recommended by his friend.

"Brother, your words will be a big plus here in Komachi."

"But brother, how can I spare the money to buy dessert for Komachi?"

Knowing that Hikigaya Hachiman bought dessert for her, Hikigaya Komachi smiled happily and then asked Hikigaya Hachiman the reason.

"Well, it's a treat from a friend."

Hikigaya Hachiman scratched his face and made up a reason embarrassedly.

Tell your biological sister that it was the money you earned from running errands for friends and buying them drinks?

He could not do anything that would damage his dignity in front of Hikigaya Komachi, so Hikigaya Hachiman decided to put the blame on Xuanyuan Ning.

The desserts were bought with Xuanyuan Ning's money, so it was Xuanyuan Ning's treat.

Hikigaya Hachiman figured it out and convinced himself immediately.

"Hey! Friends? Did you make friends at school?"

Rather than seeing the fruit cake opened by Hikigaya Hachiman and placed in front of her, Hikigaya Komachi was more surprised that her brother actually had a friend, and that it was a friend that her brother mentioned himself.

Hikigaya Komachi, who also cares about Hikigaya Hachiman, knows how weird her brother's personality is, and she is often troubled by his behavior and personality.

It's only been two days since school started...

Hikigaya Hachiman, who has been alone since high school, suddenly told herself that he has a friend. How could Hikigaya Komachi not be surprised?

"Yes...right...I think so..."

When asked by Hikigaya Komachi, Hikigaya Hachiman replied with some uncertainty.

To be honest, he wasn't sure if he and Xuanyuan Ning were friends now. Perhaps he was just wishful thinking and unilaterally considered Xuanyuan Ning his friend, just like when they were little...

Today, Xuanyuan Ning took the initiative to talk to Hikigaya Hachiman, and everything that happened in the class, Hikigaya Hachiman still feels like he is dreaming.

Apart from my family, no one has ever introduced themselves to me seriously and made friends with me, and then we chatted like good friends.

In Xuanyuan Ning's heart...I should be considered his friend, right?

Hikigaya Hachiman began to hesitate.

He was so ordinary and common that Hachiman Hikigaya didn't understand why Xuanyuan Ning wanted to help him.

"This dessert is delicious! Did you buy it at Indulge? Did you find this hidden gem of a dessert shop?"

Hikigaya Komachi cut off a small piece of cake with a small spoon and put it into her mouth. Her eyes lit up and she looked at her brother carefully.

It was obvious that the two of them always went to "Indulge" to buy desserts. When would her brother bother to change to another dessert shop?

"Brother, was that dessert shop recommended to you by your friend?"

Hikigaya Komachi's words interrupted Hikigaya Hachiman's internal struggle. Suddenly awakened, Hikigaya Hachiman hurriedly replied, "Yes... yes."

"Since my brother made friends without my help and brought back such delicious desserts for me, I decided to give him another 50 points in my heart!"

"May I ask what is the perfect score Komachi would give to her brother?"

"Let's set it at 1,000 points for now!"

"what?"

After Hikigaya Komachi's interruption, Hikigaya Hachiman put aside the question of whether Xuanyuan Ning denied that he was the other party's friend, and started to taste the dessert with Hikigaya Komachi.

Why bother about him so much? It doesn’t matter whether Xuanyuan Ning recognizes you as his friend or not. It’s enough for you to recognize him as your friend in your heart.

Thoughts and feelings are sometimes just a matter of a thought.

After eating dessert, Hikigaya Hachiman Karuizawa lay on the sofa, waiting for the process of self-digestion.

I have to admit that Xuanyuan Ning has really good taste...the desserts are as delicious as the "Indulge" that I recommended to him.

"Komachi, where's Kamakura?"

After returning home, I didn't see Kamakula, and Hikigaya Hachiman mentioned it.

"Kamakula? He was here just now. Maybe he hid himself because his brother went home."

"After all, my brother always bullies it."

Hikigaya Komachi wanted to laugh when she thought about how when Kamakura was a child, Hikigaya Hachiman often made Kamakura pose in various strange positions, causing Kamakura to no longer be close to his brother.

"No, I was just playing with it." Hikigaya Hachiman rubbed his nose awkwardly, his expression a little unnatural.

Perhaps a person's personality is determined by who raises him. Kamakura, who was raised by Hikigaya Hachiman as a child, developed a personality just as eccentric as Hikigaya Hachiman.

He is very close to Hikigaya Komachi and Hikigaya's parents, but he is extremely disgusted with Hikigaya Hachiman.

Hikigaya Komachi took Kamakura, who was lying at her feet, into her arms, stroked the big white ball, and asked curiously.

"Brother, can you tell me about your friend?"

Hikigaya Komachi was genuinely curious about her brother's friends. She wanted to know what kind of person could be friends with Hikigaya Hachiman and change her brother so quickly.

As for why Hikigaya Komachi doesn't think it was Hikigaya Hachiman who took the initiative to make friends...

All we can say is that only family members know their own business.

Chapter 26 The Confused Girl Is No Longer Confused

Dinner is over.

Shiina Mahiru pushed Xuanyuan Ning, who was about to wash the dishes, out of the kitchen. After washing the dishes, she took off her light blue kitchen apron and hung it on the hook.
