April 30, 2011, at 18:30, on the dining table at the Aragaki family.

"Ayase, can't the work during the May Day period be cancelled?"

"Sorry, Dad, I've already said it? The work arrangements were already set half a month ago. How can we cause trouble for everyone because of our private reasons?"

"But this time it's different. Your brother is finally back. Mom and I are looking forward to a real family trip where the whole family gathers..."

"Ah, that's it. But this time it really doesn't work, sorry.

Wait...Summer vacation, is it good? I will say hello to my agent in advance and have some time off."

Ayase looked at her somewhat disappointed parents with a very sorry look, and then secretly glanced at her brother sitting next to her as she withdrew her gaze.

Her biological brother who had been separated for many years was chewing food expressionlessly, without saying a word, as if he didn't care about the content of the conversation between her parents and her just now.

Is this person really my biological brother?

Despite the DNA identification results to prove it, Ayase still thought so more than once.

It’s not because there was one more person at home, and it was hard to accept that a brother was suddenly there... Although there was indeed such a reason, the most important thing was that Ayase could not feel any affection in this "big brother".

It is even said that Ayase did not find the existence of "feelings" in this seventeen-year-old boy named Chu Xuan. He was like a robot.

Although Ayase once asked this question privately and obscurely, her parents all believed that it must be the painful experiences of more than ten years that made the child look like he is now.

Ayase did not listen to her parents telling the details of what kind of painful experience this brother had in China, but she would feel sad when she saw her parents' extremely guilty and self-blame expression.

Perhaps it is because of this that her parents were extremely tolerant of all the strange actions of her brother... and even indulged in her, even her last name and name did not ask her brother to change her surname.

But even so, for nearly half a month when her brother "returned" to the Aragaki family, he still never showed any expressionless expressions. He seemed to have never even said a few words to his family. Apart from morning exercises and evening walks every morning, he just locked himself in the room all day long and didn't know what he was doing in front of the computer.

This kind of person is the legendary "that", squatting at home, otaku, NEET, etc.

But her parents...ah, they were completely blind in terms of their brother's affairs. As long as the brother was happy, he would do whatever he could.

But, that Chu Xuan, can he really laugh?

"Then, that...big brother?"

Ayase, who was thinking in her heart, tried to talk to Chu Xuan with some timidity.

“…”

The eldest brother sitting next to her put down the dishes and turned his head expressionlessly, and was still chewing food regularly in his mouth.

"Brother, sorry, do you feel unhappy?"

Ayase looked like a frightened little animal, looking up at Chu Xuan's face with her eyes. Her slightly thick eyebrows were slightly frowned into a figure-eight shape, and she asked softly in a caring tone.

"Why do you ask this?"

Chu Xuan asked faintly, the voice that made people want to frown unconsciously was not so cold as to be cold - as if they were irrelevant as if they were irrelevant, they were as calm as if they were irrelevant as if they were watching the world as calmly as if they were irrelevant.

Ayase felt a little regretful in her heart because she went to talk to Chu Xuan rashly. She replied softly with a wince:

"Because, because there has never been a smile on my elder brother's face, so...I think you are not very happy..."

"Sorry, this is how my face always looks."

Chu Xuan pushed down his reflective glasses and replied casually.

Although he just told a fact calmly, the sensitive Ayase was able to feel the heavy truth behind it from the calm words.

What kind of past should a child of high school age spend all the time with an expressionless expression?

A photo I had seen in Ayase suddenly appeared in her mind:

In a poor area of ​​Africa, children with skinny and bone-skinned children with large heads and bulging belly were looking at the camera expressionlessly. Not far away, a few vultures fell there, waiting to eat a child who died of hunger.

"Ah... hug, sorry, I shouldn't have asked that. No, it's okay..."

Ayase lowered her head, feeling very complicated.

"It's okay. It's my expression that makes you feel unpleasant, I'm sorry."

Chu Xuan nodded in understanding, then sat up straight again, as if he started eating again programmatically like a robot.

If you observe carefully, you will find that the direction and angle of each chopstick is optimized, and you can use the gravity of your hand to reach the food in the most labor-saving way.

Moreover, he always stands like a pine tree, sits like a bell, walks like a wind, and slept like a bow, so he feels like a soldier.

All this was not something he did, but because his brain could control every subtle movement of his body very accurately, so his body was just an ordinary person but also had a C-level reaction - this had reached the extreme of his physical ability.

When he heard that Chu Xuan seemed a little cold, he apologized very seriously. Ayase, who lowered her head, felt a little sore in her eyes and nose.

"It doesn't matter, just live in this home in the way you think is the most comfortable, and then do what you want to do. We won't interfere with you at all."

Chu Xuan's father, Aragaki Councilor put down his chopsticks and said seriously, his wife also nodded repeatedly.

I don’t know if this is the real idea of ​​the Aragaki couple, or if the main god system interferes with their thinking, to avoid their excessive concern for their son who had been "lost for many years" and seriously affecting Chu Xuan’s strategy actions.

The main god didn’t want Chu Xuan to be a son, but asked him to help his sister and other beautiful girls!

Because Chu Xuan has always followed the rule of "don't eat and sleep", he did not speak, but just nodded silently.

After the meal, Chu Xuan spoke for the first time:

"I plan to study in the second grade of the prefectural Chiba Benzhan Higher Education."

"Okay, my mom and I will ask someone to do it immediately. You can go in after Golden Week."

Perhaps he was already used to Chu Xuan's cold tone, or perhaps because of the thinking interference of the main god system, Aragaki nodded immediately without any abnormality.
