"No……"

In the end, Kotori heard the answer she least wanted to hear. For her, the blow was indeed a bit too big.

Just as Li Yalin said the word "sorry", her petite body couldn't help but start to tremble. What the huge blow brought to her was an indescribable sadness and shake.

She finally found the brother she liked and finally became a happy child, but she didn't expect that this happiness would only last for a few days.

It's really just those few days.

This huge blow made Kotori subconsciously want to escape!

"I don't believe it!"

With Kotori's shout, she turned around and ran away the next moment. She didn't want to believe all this, so she simply thought that as long as she left and pretended that nothing had happened, her brother would not leave.

How great it would be if nothing had happened...

"Kinri!"

Seeing her sister's sad appearance, Shiori subconsciously wanted to catch up, but before she could take a step, her shoulder was supported by Li Yalin.

"Brother Yalin, you..."

"Let me leave it to me. Now no matter what Shiori says, Kotori won't listen. The person who tied the bell needs to be unbuttoned. If I don't explain it clearly to Kotori, she will never figure it out."

Li Yalin knew that Shiori was worried about Kotori, but in fact he was even more worried than Shiori.

It is precisely because of this that he wanted to stop Shiori from participating in it.

He knew very well that if Shiori went to persuade Kotori at this time, it would not only be effective, but would even form a crack among the sisters. Kotori would be difficult to listen to others at this time, even if that person was her sister.

So, in the end, he still had to take action himself, but could he convince Kotori? To be honest, he has no confidence at all now.

In this case, one step can only be calculated.

"Then...then I'll ask you, Brother Yalin."

At first, she was stopped by Li Yalin. Shiori was still a little unresolved, but after hearing Li Yalin's words again, she immediately realized it.

He bowed deeply to Li Yalin. Her sister-in-law could not help Qinli, so all hope could only be placed on her brother Yalin!

"Okay, leave it to me!"

He smiled slightly at Shiori, and then Li Yalin immediately set off and quickly locked in Kotori's position.

After all, she is still a child. Even if she is running sadly, where can she go in this short period of time?

In fact, Kotori didn't run far at all, but stopped at the corner of a building, and his petite body squatted in the shadow of the corner of the building. He hugged his knees with his hands, buried his face deeply.

"Kinri..."

When he walked to Qinli, Li Yalin began to think about how to convince the child. In fact, he had no idea.

"Brother...you don't leave, okay?"

Hearing Li Yalin's voice, Kotori, who had originally buried his face deeply, finally raised his head. After all, Li Yalin was the person involved and Kotori was the brother who was least willing to separate.

Now that her brother has found herself, of course she wants to do her last effort to keep her brother.

"This...sorry Kotori. I have to leave now."

Although he really wanted to agree to Kotori, unfortunately, Li Yalin could not do this, so in the end he still said the answer that Kotori wanted to hear the least.

Even though she worked so hard, she still couldn't keep her brother.

"Why...Does my brother hate Kotori? Is it because Kotori is too weak that my brother leaves Kotori? Kotori can guarantee that he will never cry again in the future and will never act coquettish again! He will definitely become my brother's favorite sister! Brother, please stay!"

Kotori couldn't figure out why her favorite brother left her. At this time, she had already chosen to forget Li Yalin's origin and treated him completely as a real brother.

She believes that the reason why my brother will leave is because of herself. As long as she performs well and becomes her favorite sister, then her brother will definitely stay with her!

only……

"How could my brother hate Kotori? Brother, I... but I like Kotori the most!"

Looking at Qinli, who was tearful in front of her and looking at her pitiful, kitten-like face, as if she had been abandoned, Li Yalin couldn't help feeling distressed and subconsciously hugged Qinli into her arms.

If possible, how could he be willing to separate from Kotori? But the problem is, he does not belong to this time!

"Does your brother like Kotori? Then you can stay, right?"

Qinri, who was hugged by Li Yalin, had no intention of struggling at all. On the contrary, she liked her brother's arms very much, and after hearing Li Yalin's words, her expression was even more surprising.

She simply thought that since her brother liked her, he would definitely stay for her.

It’s a pity that Kotori is destined to be disappointed.

"If I can, I really want to stay, but I can't..."

In one sentence, Kotori directly knocked down from the paradise of happiness to the abyss, and his original expectation collapsed in an instant.

Li Yalin made Konori completely desperate.

No matter how hard I try, will my brother eventually leave?

If Li Yalin didn't say anything to remedy at this time, I'm afraid that Kotori would really completely block himself because of the big blow.

This is definitely not what he wants to see!

"Kinri, listen to me. Although I can't stay now, it doesn't mean we won't meet again in the future!"

Seeing that something was wrong, Li Yalin quickly spoke again. After all, it was not impossible for him and Kotori to meet again, but it would take five years to meet again.

"What? Brother, do you mean...will you come back?"

Originally, Kotori was already desperate and thought that his happiness was gone and there was no chance to keep his brother.

But he didn't expect that, but in the end he turned around, even making Kotori unable to believe his ears.

Brother, will he... really come back?

"You little girl, I don't listen to me. Do you really think I will abandon you?"

Looking at Qinli's cute look overjoyed, Li Yalin couldn't help but stretch out his fingers and gently played them on Qinli's forehead.

Originally, a child as old as Kotori should not like this kind of movement, but Kotori was different. Li Yalin's fingers were flicked on her forehead, which not only did not make her frown, but made her happier!

Because she knew that her brother would never deceive her!

Since my brother said he would come back, he would definitely come back!

She knew that her brother would definitely not leave him alone! He is the brother who loves her the most!

"So...brother, when will you come back? A week? Or... two weeks?"

After the surprise, Kotori began to ask Li Yalin impatiently. Before he could leave, Kotori was already considering the time for him to come back.

But... this time the separation cannot be solved in just one or two weeks.

"Kinri, I don't want to deceive you, but I'm not able to come back in a short time when I leave this time, because a very important task requires me to complete and it takes a lot of time."

In fact, in this case, Li Yalin could just perfunctory Qinli, and there was no problem.

But he didn't want to deceive Kotori, he had to tell Kotori this fact.

"Is it... very long? How long does it take for a long time?"

Seeing Li Yalin's serious expression, Qinli was not noisy, but calmed down slightly, and looked at Li Yalin with big watery eyes, hoping to hear the answer she wanted.

"Five years, I will not be able to come back in five years, but I don't know if I come back in five years, will you still remember me if Koinri?"

Li Yalin knew very well that he wanted to tell Kotori this answer, and even if she heard this answer, she would feel very disappointed.

It is precisely because of this that after he spoke out five years ago, before Kotori could think, he immediately made a self-deprecating expression, as if he had seen that in five years, Kotori would forget himself.

At this moment, his acting skills soared, at least this little girl Kotori could not see any flaws.

Seeing his brother's lonely eyes, Kotori, who had been lost because of five years, immediately became anxious. She liked her brother the most. In just five years, how could she forget her brother?

"I will never forget my brother! I will definitely not forget! Even if my brother comes back in five years, I will definitely remember my brother!"

No longer want to see his brother's lonely and lost expression, Kotori immediately shouted. She wanted her brother to know that she would never forget! No matter what happened, she would never forget!

"Really?"

Although he was very happy, on the surface, Li Yalin still pretended to be disbelief, which immediately made Kotori even more anxious.

"Of course it's true! If my brother doesn't believe it, let's pull it off!"

Qinri, who was eager to show his mentality, quickly stretched out his little finger as soon as possible. As long as he pulled the hook, this was the agreement between the two!

"Okay, let's make an agreement."

"Well! You have to swallow a thousand needles when you lie. Kotori will not forget his brother, and he must come back to find Kotori in five years!"

In this way, the agreement between Li Yalin and Qinli was completed, and finally resolved a crisis invisibly, which made Li Yalin finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Chapter completed!
