Suddenly

  Kobayakawa Rinne seemed to have realized something and suddenly picked up a few green peppers and put them in Kobayakawa Seiki's bowl.

  But unexpectedly, those green peppers hadn't even reached the bowl in Xing Village when they suddenly disappeared...

  What's with the green pepper?

  Koumura Rin's smile on her face completely froze, because there was nothing on her chopsticks, and Koumura Seiichi's bowl only had plain white rice, and there wasn't even any green food that had fallen onto the table.

  So what about the green pepper she was originally going to give to her son?

  Was she so blind just now that she didn't even pick it up?

  The puzzled look turned to Kōmura Kaishin, the master of the house shook his head indicating he was just thinking about something and didn't notice; then looked at Kōmura Shiomie, the little girl pouted, shaking her head indicating she didn't know, because it seemed like this was the first time she saw her mom serve food to her brother.

  She thought for half a day, always thinking that in the past five years, when they had dinner together as a family, when did her mother ever serve dishes to her brother?

  The answer is definite. In memory, Mom never served dishes for brother, and even Dad was not.

  Looking up at the girl who was still quietly eating her rice across from him, a faintly mocking glint appeared in Shio's eyes.

  The first person to give her brother food in this family was actually this stranger she had just met for the first time, it's really laughable.

  That's an outsider. Her mother only reacted because of her actions, and realized that for many years, she had never even given her own son a single dish to eat.

  Xiaomei couldn't help but touch her heart and ask herself, this home that she had always thought was warm and happy for her brother, wasn't it also the same warmth?

  It's chilling to the bone!

  The green pepper disappeared, and Ringo Kobayakawa picked up a chicken leg again. This time the chicken leg safely fell into Koba's bowl.

  "Come, Jing City, eat chicken legs."

  "......Thank you, mom." He said softly, and Kōmura Seichi smiled somewhat awkwardly. Looking at the two chicken legs in his bowl, he lowered his head to eat, but never touched those two chicken legs.

  "Speaking of which, Coach Kato told me last month that Seiichi is the most talented and hardest working kid he's ever seen." Holding his chopsticks, Kaiya carefully picked up some green vegetables and placed them in Seiichi's bowl. "He's really our pride! Seiichi is amazing!"

  "Ah, is that so? That's really great." Riko Koumura responded somewhat stiffly.

  The couple looked at each other and smiled as they talked about their happy memories of Jinichi's childhood, but somehow the smiles felt stiff.

  For their son, however, there are few memories of him in their minds, faint to the point where almost no trace is left.

  What an irony, as a parent, can't even remember their own child's birthdate.

  With a faint cough, Yukimura Rinne covered her eyes, filled with deep remorse. She didn't even have the courage to face this child now.

  It wasn't until now that she realized what she had done.

  Are outsiders' gossip and rumors really that disturbing? This is her son, the child she gave birth to. Even if he's a boy who grew up so beautifully captivating, he's still her and Haishen's child...

  "Come, Jing Shi, drink more of this green pepper and vermicelli soup. It's good for your body..."

  Koumura Rin placed a bowl of soup in front of Koumura Seiichi, but then looked at Yan Yan who was sitting next to him and suddenly stopped eating. She lifted her head, and the girl's black eyes looked at her uncertainly, as if what she was doing now was a very strange thing.
