Brother complex
Chuuya returned to the villa and collapsed onto the sofa. Only in his own space could Chuuya relax a little and allow the suppressed sadness and pain to flow into his body.
"Chūya-nii?"
Chuuya also has excellent night vision, and he could spot Yumeno standing at the top of the stairs on the second floor at a glance, forgetting that there was a child at home.
Zhong also perked up and sat up straight.
"Sorry, I forgot, have you eaten?"
“There are vegetables at home, and my brother Amuro Tooru taught me how to cook some simple dishes.”
Chuuya rubbed his temples, remembering the blond, dark-skinned boy.
"Chūya-nii, are you in a bad mood?"
Little Mengye groped her way downstairs. When Chuuya returned, he hadn't turned on the lights. Now he was actually a little relieved, at least the child couldn't see the emotions on his face.
"I'm fine, I'll take you home tomorrow."
"I'll get up early tomorrow, Chuuya-nii should get some rest."
Sensing that Chuuya wasn't really keen on the topic, Yumeno Kyusaku nodded and didn't press for details, leaving Chuuya to his own devices.
Chuuya chuckled self-deprecatingly and raised his hand to cover his eyes.
[You damned Dazai, I challenge you to a duel!]
I feel so sorry for Xiao Zhong.
[Dazai Osamu, you better not regret this!]
[Even though he was just lying on the sofa, the sense of desolation seemed to come through the screen.]
I'm going to cry...
The next morning, Chuuya was woken up by Yumeno on the sofa. Chuuya blinked his slightly sore eyes and was pushed to his room before he was fully awake.
"Chuuya-nii, you go ahead and wash up. Leave the breakfast to me."
Upon hearing this, Chuuya realized that his stomach was completely empty, as he hadn't eaten anything since he ate something when he first woke up yesterday.
Chuuya went into the bathroom and let the cold water pour over his head to wake himself up.
When Chungya came downstairs again, he was no longer the dejected man he had been. A simple breakfast was laid out on the table, but the portion was quite generous.
Yumeno's eyes lit up. Chuuya-nii was dressed very uniquely today, a style completely different from his usual one. Moreover, he wasn't wearing that hat today, so his exquisite and outstanding features were exposed to the air. He looked relaxed and approachable, less like his usual aloof demeanor.
"Chūya-nii, you look so handsome today! You're incredibly handsome!"
Yumeno, being quite tactful, didn't ask why Chuuya woke up on the sofa today, but instead turned around and praised Chuuya's outfit.
Is that so?
Zhong was taken aback by such straightforward praise and became somewhat uncomfortable.
"Mmm! Super handsome."
"Okay, let's eat first."
[Xiao Zhong looks super handsome today!]
[Did the official account see this? I want this new pattern image.]
Is it okay for Chuuya to not wear a hat like this? I remember that hat was for controlling the balance of Chuuya's abilities.
[Chūya should be aware of this.]
[Chuuya seems normal during the day, as if the feeling of disarray I had last night was just my imagination.]
Chuuya lowered his eyes, ignoring the comments that expressed sympathy for him. He didn't need anyone's pity; his most comfortable state was like Yumeno Kyusaku, remaining silent and unasked.
Even though we're from different worlds, please give me some privacy! Haven't you ever seen someone heartbroken?
After finishing their meal and tidying up briefly, Chuuya flew over with Yumeno just like last time. This time, Yumeno wasn't as nervous as she was the first time, and she even curiously tried to grab onto the clouds that were flying by.
Chuuya landed near Yumeno's place and, not far away, around a corner, encountered that amazing elementary school student and Ran, who was very popular with the comments.
If they could, they would have liked to turn around and leave immediately, without causing any further trouble, but the other party had obviously already seen them.
"Kusaku! You're back! And Mr. Nakahara, are you feeling better?"
"Yes, Sister Xiaolan."
Ran greeted him, then looked at Chuuya with a worried expression.
"Thank you for your concern, Miss Lan. I'm much better now."
Zhong also gave a proper answer, thanking the elder sister for the etiquette lesson.
"Did Kyusaku and Nakahara-nii come back yesterday? But I didn't see the light on in Kyusaku's room yesterday?"
Conan had already walked nearby and looked up at Chuuya curiously. Chuuya looked down at him, and Conan blinked innocently. Chuuya silently pulled away and took Yumeno with him.
Conan gave a deadpan look. He remembered that Chuuya had called him a jinx last time. Did he still think that way? I already said it's perfectly normal for a detective to be at the scene of a murder!
There was no reaction from Chuuya, but Yumeno nervously answered first, and even tugged at Chuuya's sleeve.
"Yes, but my brother showed me around Tokyo and we stayed at a hotel there!"
"I'm not usually in Tokyo, so I had Kyusaku show me around since I finally got to come here."
Chuuya also played along, covering up Yumeno's lie perfectly. After all, they couldn't have gotten here right now if they had used normal transportation or taken the Shinkansen.
"I see. If Mr. Nakahara would like to explore Tokyo, I can recommend a few good attractions to you."
Xiao Lan nodded knowingly and kindly offered her suggestion.
"I don't have much time this time, and I won't be staying long, so it's better not to bother."
Chuuya smiled apologetically, and Ran nodded understandingly. Chuuya then looked down at Yumeno.
"Then I'll leave you here. You can take care of yourself."
"Yes, no problem, brother."
Yumeno realized that Chuuya didn't intend to stay long, so she let go of Chuuya's clothes. Seeing Yumeno's sensible appearance, Chuuya felt a little uncomfortable. He scratched his hair in frustration and spoke in a stiff tone.
"If you don't have enough money, just send me a message. Enjoy your life now, and don't worry about anything else."
[Handsome and kind-hearted Xiao Zhong]
Because they're afraid their hard-won happiness will disappear again, they're being extra careful.
Chuuya glanced at the analysis in the comments again and softened his tone.
"If you encounter any trouble or have any problems that you can't solve, feel free to message me. Don't be afraid to bother me."
After Chuuya finished speaking, he casually ruffled Yumeno's hair. As if he had touched a switch, Yumeno hugged him the next second, and her starry eyes melted into egg-shaped eyes. Chuuya froze on the spot.
"I understand. Then don't be sad anymore, Chuuya-nii. Hisasaku is worried about you, very worried about you."
"Um."
Zhong also relaxed his body and awkwardly reached out to pat the child's back.
[So beautiful, the livor mortis on the corpse has decreased a lot]
Two wonderful babies!
They really do look like brothers now.
"I thought your brother didn't care about you much, but I didn't expect you two to have such a good relationship."
"Of course! It will get even better from here on out!"
Watching Chuuya's departing figure with red ears, Conan shared his previous opinion. Hearing Yumeno's reply, Conan gave a deadpan look again. Yumeno is definitely a brother complex guy!
