He is like tea growing against the fence.

Skinny yet bushy, cautious yet ambitious.

He was growing crazily, but he couldn't break through the fence no matter what.

He was lying on the hospital bed, watching the light and shadow outside the window intertwined, dancing, changing positions like a ballroom dance, watching the dripping liquid dripping down the thin tube and flowing into his body.

He was trapped, must have been.

By whom?

It’s the water in the basin, it’s the door that was locked that day, it’s the man with fangs, it’s the disease flowing in the blood, it’s this hospital bed, it’s this room filled with the smell of medicine, it’s, it’s——

It's a fence.

It was the fence that had been wrapped around him ever since he could remember.

It turned out that he had never stepped over the fence.

Because he is the tea that grows in the fence.

He couldn't even truly treat one person wholeheartedly with one person, even his sister.

Maybe God is fair - although his physical condition is terrible, his brain must be a little smarter than his peers, even some "adults".

Zhaixiacha is very smart, but unfortunately, he has no chance to turn his "smartness" into "wisdom" - he can only interpret some things as extreme "good" and "evil" under his cognition; it is even more regrettable. What is interesting is that in his exploration of human nature, the lower limit of "evil" is as low as the upper limit of "good".

So even though his past experience and reason told him that his sister and the others were not such people, there was always a low, hoarse voice in the deepest part of his heart, amplifying his fear.

Look, drag the oil bottle.

I killed my mother, and now I want to rely on two strangers.

See, I'm disgusted.

"Little tea?"

The girl looked at Zhaixia Cha's obviously dull expression and reached out to touch his head:

"Do you have any ideas for your new home - like, um... a gentle enough man of the house? Or no man of the house?"

"..."

Zhaixia Cha lowered his head, hid his hands under the quilt, and twisted the corners of his clothes uneasily to prevent the expression on his face from breaking.

Request?

He - is he really qualified to make so-called "requests"?

"Hey kid, wake up, I made a wish."

The wanderer stood aside with his arms folded, looking at Zhai Xiacha with his head bowed and silent, feeling an inexplicable feeling of embarrassment in his chest:

"We are not interested in taking you to open a 'family blind box'."

"I don't have any requirements, as long as they want me."

The slender, drooping eyelashes belonging to a child trembled under the tea in the village, and he opened his mouth, as if he was thinking about whether he could say the next words.

"Say what you want to say quickly."

"Oh," the girl gently put her arm around Zhai Xiacha's shoulders, tilted her head and whispered softly, "Don't be cruel to the child."

"Master, it's not important, I can bear it."

After tea, he gently and tentatively leaned his head against the girl's body:

"If, if possible, Mistress, I would like to be a sister."

"..."

The huge ward fell into an eerie silence for a moment. Except for the sound of rain outside the window, no one spoke or even moved.

"I'm sorry...sister, when I didn't say - I just, really want to be by your side -"

As Zhai Xiacha spoke, he slowly tore his body off the girl's body. Unexpectedly, he was hit on the top of his head by a strong force.

The wanderer withdrew his hand with a dull face and said in a disdainful tone:

"If you really want to stay by her side, just live until you grow up and go find her by yourself."

He gestured in the girl's direction with his thumb:

"Anyway, this guy can live for a long time."

"When you grow up...when you grow up, after I won't trouble you anymore - can I stay by your side?"

Zhai Xia Cha's gray eyes suddenly glowed with life, and he raised his head three times as fast as if he had been pressed for a long time on the screen:

"I - I will get better soon, and I will grow up soon - sister!"

"what?"

The Wanderer frowned.

Why doesn't it feel right?

So he gritted his teeth and forcibly tore the two of them apart:

"Don't worry, I can live for a long time."

Here comes lifespan bullying.

It specifically refers to the strange education given by two immortal species to a child who has no concept of life span.

"you......"

Zhai Xia Cha's eyes wandered between the two, then narrowed his eyes wisely, and then got into the girl's arms again:

"Sister, I am younger than him."

"?"

"?!"

"Pfft."

The girl couldn't hold back, she turned her head and smiled, and rubbed Zhai Xia Cha's head hard twice with her hand:

"We, Xiaocha, are still children."

"I will grow up," Zhaixia Cha did not follow the girl's words for the first time. "I will grow up healthily, and then grow very tall, and try not to be ugly... "

"Then I will come to you, sister."

"what......"

Unexpectedly, it actually aroused Xiaocha's fighting spirit even more.

"Well?"

-

The matter of organizing the adoption for Zhaixia Tea was taken care of by Heizang Luyein - after all, he was a member of the Tianling Order, so it would be much easier for him to do this.

Since that day, whenever it rains, the girl will try to enter Daozuma Castle and spend half a day having tea with the village——

Give him a lecture.

Occasionally, I meet Ichito who comes to visit but has no eyesight, and Kuki Shinobu, who is helpless but amiable...

Then have a 2v2 class with Kuki Shinobu.

"Miss, I'm alone today." After finishing the lecture, Kuki Shinobu took off his mask and took a breath, "Where's Mr. Hat?"

"Ah, let's split up today...after all, he also has a problem."

Moreover, he and Zhai Xiacha were born with incompatible magnetic fields. Although they actually missed each other from the bottom of their hearts, they still had to abide by the law of "distance creates beauty".

Otherwise, the girl won’t be able to coax him.

"We were supposed to accompany you... I'm so sorry."

"It's okay," the girl shook her head, "I should be the one thanking you - after all, you helped me in the beginning."

"...Ms. Broken Qiong, I'm actually a little curious."

"You are capable and willing to do something good for the world - why did you choose to remain anonymous?"

Based on Kuki Shinobu's judgment and the girl's ability, it would not be a problem to find a force willing to protect her and even help her settle some things. However, she chose to live in seclusion in the mountains and even gave up credit and benefits excessively.

It can't be said that she doesn't seem to care about this at all.

"Huh? Oops..."

The girl scratched her head and ran her fingers down her hair, as if she was thinking about how to answer.

"If you really want to say it...just like A-nin."

"A-Nin is obviously very powerful. Didn't he also choose to stay in the Arataki sect and stay with Idou?"
