Chapter 60 Sick, definitely sick

"Do you think we can still be normal siblings after we just kissed?"

Zhou Miao's expression was serious, trying to make Lu Xiaoxiao realize that her idea was wrong.

At the same time, he also wanted to see what kind of biases had occurred in her perception.

Lu Xingyu used to be her pillar of support, keeping her within the range of a "normal person".

But after losing her pillar of support, Lu Xiaoxiao's heart had actually collapsed, but the resilience she had cultivated since childhood still managed to hold her up.

But the main reason for this resilience is that Lu Xingyu is only missing, not dead.

So his appearance was particularly coincidental, perfectly filling the void in her heart.

However, because it wasn't Lu Xingyu himself, Lu Xiaoxiao's emotions were actually quite unstable.

According to the Japanese manga setting, she has always been on the verge of turning evil.

If Zhou Miao leaves, causing her to lose her emotional support again, she will completely turn into a yandere.

"We can be siblings!" Lu Xiaoxiao insisted.

But Zhou Miao's serious expression frightened her.

So she cautiously approached, leaning forward and taking the initiative to get closer.

Zhou Miao instinctively wanted to dodge; at this moment, there was no longer any romantic atmosphere.

The brother felt guilty because his sister, who was perfectly healthy, had become abnormal.

But as soon as he moved aside, he saw Lu Xiaoxiao's expression, like a wounded little animal, which made him afraid to move any further, lest even the slightest movement severely provoke her.

His lips felt a soft touch again, but this time he didn't react at all.

A few seconds later, Lu Xiaoxiao stepped back slightly, revealing a fawning smile: "Brother, let's be brother and sister, okay? We won't be boyfriend and girlfriend, and we won't get married."

They're sick, really sick, and quite seriously sick. Are they even proper siblings?

Even those who are against marriage will not oppose romantic relationships between boyfriends and girlfriends.

Zhou Miao didn't know what to say at this moment.

At first, when he was kissed in his sleep, he thought Lu Xiaoxiao was a little impulsive, but after putting himself in her shoes, he understood her unease.

Why did she suddenly become abnormal after the topic of boyfriends/girlfriends and marriage came up? It was as if a very serious mental illness had suddenly erupted.

Zhou Miao felt he couldn't upset her any longer. He should at least wait until she calmed down before trying to ask her why she resisted dating and marriage. Perhaps he could understand her from that.

Therefore, he tried to give a natural smile and agreed, "Okay, let's be siblings."

"Mmm, brother, you're so nice!" Lu Xiaoxiao happily pounced on him, hugged him tightly, and clung to him all the time.

Zhou Miao rolled her eyes and didn't dare to move.

Even though a beautiful girl throwing herself into his arms should be a pleasant thing, he only felt extremely tormented because he was facing a "patient".

However, the anger that had been suppressed for several years was finally stirred up by her.

Lu Xiaoxiao, who was enjoying the close contact, sensed something was wrong as she hugged him.

She immediately realized what was happening, and after her initial shock subsided, the girl's shyness took over.

Lu Xiaoxiao immediately let go of him, feeling embarrassed, but then curiously peeked at the spot he was hiding.

"Ahem...you rest for a while, I'll change my clothes and go buy groceries, I'll cook you something nice for dinner."

Zhou Miao quickly got up and walked into the room. Although she had changed into loose shorts after taking a shower, they still couldn't completely cover her up.

As his figure disappeared, Lu Xiaoxiao's turbulent emotions gradually calmed down.

Thinking about what she had just done, she suddenly covered her face with her hands, her fair feet in slippers arching tightly as if she wanted to dig into the ground.

Lu Xiaoxiao suddenly got up, rushed into her room, closed the door, and then pounced on her bed.

"What have I done?!"

After reason prevailed, she even began to doubt whether the person she had just seen was actually herself.

Lu Xiaoxiao wasn't regretting her impulsive kiss at the beginning, but rather it was an emotional outburst triggered by the impulsiveness of marriage.

But the thought of marriage still made her frown, and a strong feeling of disgust welled up inside her.

"Phew, this is fine. Even if we get a little closer, it's okay. I just like my brother, and we're not related by blood anyway."

Lu Xiaoxiao murmured to herself in a self-comforting manner, feeling quite overjoyed at the confirmation of her current sibling relationship with Zhou Miao.

However, this is just the beginning. If she wants to maintain the sibling relationship in the long run, she cannot stand still.

Originally, Lu Xiaoxiao didn't know what to do, but the result of her impulsive actions in the afternoon made her feel that she should continue to maintain this kind of close contact in her daily life.

Hearing the door open outside, and knowing that Zhou Miao was going to buy groceries, she quickly got out of bed, determined to strengthen the bond between the siblings from this moment on.

"Brother, let's go grocery shopping together!"

Seeing her expectant gaze, Zhou Miao checked the time and realized it was still quite early, so he nodded and said, "Okay, you can change your clothes and bring your swimsuit. We still have time, let's go learn to swim first."

"Mmm!" Lu Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously, then closed the door and went to change her clothes.

After she changed her clothes, Zhou Miao took her away.

After what happened in the afternoon, this normal outing felt very different from the past.

Lu Xiaoxiao suddenly changed a lot. She smiled more and seemed more cheerful than before.

Secondly, you should be much more intimate in your behavior, even if you are just sitting on a tricycle, you should stick close to him.

After practicing swimming at the swimming pool, she rubbed against him without any regard for his feelings.

This made him dare to stay in the water and not dare to go ashore, for fear that he would lose his temper.

This left Zhou Miao both amused and exasperated. They were supposed to be siblings, but how was this any different from a girlfriend's behavior?

However, given Lu Xiaoxiao's mental state, he could only try to avoid excessive physical contact and not show obvious resistance.

At that moment, Zhou Miao suddenly thought of a popular internet phrase from a few years ago—"painful yet joyful."

However, after dinner, he lost interest in these things.

Originally, Zhou Miao's small boat was not suitable for night fishing, but to avoid any unforeseen problems, he still wanted to hurry up and catch the big fish that Luo Qianqian had mentioned, which she suspected was a giant grouper.

So in the afternoon he took his headlamp and flashlight to charge them so they would be convenient to use at night.

Once Zhou Miao had made all the preparations, he set off with Lu Xiaoxiao.

It's impossible not to bring her; this girl can't be without him for a moment now.

However, she might need to assist us at night as well, since our cooperation during the day is quite good.

Upon reaching the top of the fish path, Zhou Miao continued his daytime fishing routine, using pig's blood to create bait.

Lu Xiaoxiao would then fish for small fish, and if she caught one that wasn't valuable, she would bleed it and throw it back into the water.

Although groupers may come out to forage in the morning, they are actually nocturnal fish and are most active at night, which is the opposite of coral fish such as parrotfish and blue wrasse.

In other words, Zhou Miao did not night dive. If he were to dive now to look for parrotfish in the reef area, he would find that they are very sluggish and may not even react after being touched several times.

But without them, there will only be more predators in the water at night.

While fishing for small fish, Lu Xiaoxiao suddenly noticed that the fish she had hooked this time had a strong pull. As she pulled the fish up, she was surprised to find that it was a grouper weighing two or three pounds.

"This is a grouper?" Zhou Miao exclaimed in surprise. "Xiaoxiao, you're lucky! Grouper usually sells for around 150 yuan per jin (500g), so yours is worth 300 or 400!"
