Shiho was surprised by Shizuru's answer. She never expected Shizuru to answer her so directly.
"Hehe. I'm not sure. I really like ice, and it's the kind of love between a man and a woman.”Shizuru said gently. "But please don't think too much about it, Zhibao. You have to know. The person Bing really likes is you." Shizuru shook Shiho's hand and said. "Let me ask you, Zhibao. Do you like ice?"
"This is…Um…" Zhibao thought for a moment and finally nodded.
"Hehe. I'm not sure. It's because Bing likes you and you like him that I gave up on this relationship and stayed by Bing's side as a sister and a subordinate.”
"Then…Won't Shizuru-san feel sad? The person you like is clearly by your side.”Zhibao asked with a flushed face.
"Silly girl. How could I bear to break you up? After all, it's a fact that the two of you like each other. I can't wait to give you my blessings, so how could I be sad?”Shizuru paused for a moment before continuing. "To be able to see Ice's blissful smile by your side, it's all worth it. It can be said that the reason I can have such a comfortable life now is all thanks to Ice. How can I have too many extravagant requests? So, since she couldn't be her lover, she could only stay by her side and be her closest sister.”Shizuru winked playfully at Shiho.
"Is that so? But... Shizuru. I..."
"Stop thinking about it, Zhibao. You have to know that there is no perfect happiness in the world. Everyone's so-called happiness would have small flaws. I don't want Ice to be by my side. I just want to see his happy smile. That's the greatest happiness for me.”Shizuru held Shiho's hand and said gently.
"Yes, I am. I understand. Thank you, Shizuru-san.”Zhibao also smiled beautifully.
"Yes, I am. It's good that you understand. Cherish the ice around you. A boy like him was very likable no matter where he was.”
"Humph... Who would like that pervert?" Zhibao turned his head to the side and said with a red face.
"Hehe. I'm not sure. Zhibao, you're not being honest." Shizuru chuckled. "But Zhibao. We have to keep our conversation a secret from Ice.”
"Yes, I am. This is a secret between the two of us. I won't tell anyone." Shiho held Shizuru's hand and smiled.
"Ah? What secret?" After cleaning the room, Ling listened to their conversation attentively.
"Hehe. I'm not sure. It was nothing. Thank you for your hard work, Ling. Mary and Taiyi." Shizuru looked at them with a smile.
"That's not important. Shizuru-san, what were you guys talking about just now?”Ling asked.
"Let's talk about whether Ice, that pervert, would come back early for Shizuru sis.”Zhibao replied.
Buzz, buzz, buzz...
At the bedside, Shizuru's phone vibrated slightly. He picked up his phone and looked at it. It was a message from Ice.
"Hey, hey. Shizuru. Was it a message from Ice? Read it out." Ling said excitedly.
"Yes, it's from Bing. Let me see.”Shizuru read the message. Sister Shizuru, I've completed my mission. I still have some things to do in the next two days, so I'm planning to take a stroll outside. Don't worry, I'll bring you gifts. Oh, right. Does your stomach still hurt? Remember to take your medicine. Ice.
Shizuru's face turned slightly red as she looked at Shiho after reading the message. Sure enough, Ice was a considerate boy.
"Hmph, that pervert. Wolf, at least he still has some conscience." Zhibao muttered softly.
"Boohoo…Shizuru-san, I'm so envious that you can text with Ice."”Ling's eyes turned into stars. "I also want to text and chat with him every day.”Ling's eyes were shining with tears as she said pitifully.
"Hehe. I'm not sure. Ling, you have to know that this is what Ice uses to give me orders. If I can't receive his message, I can't reply.”A drop of sweat trickled down Shizuru's forehead.
"But I'm so envious." Ling jumped excitedly. "Right, right, Shizuru sis, quickly reply to Ice.”
"Yes, I am. But what should I reply to?" Shizuru placed her index finger on her lips as if she was thinking.
"Hey. Shizuru-san, let's make a bet.”Ling smiled mischievously.
"Hmm? What are we betting on?"
"Didn't Bing say that he would be back in two days? Let's bet on whether Ice will rush back immediately because of your text message.”
"Eh? This wasn't good. What if it delayed Ice's business?”
"Don't worry, don't worry. My brother must have wanted to play outside for a while longer.”
"Is this alright?" Shizuru asked with a slight frown.
"Hehe. I'm not sure. It seems very interesting." Zhibao also revealed a mischievous smile. "I also want to know if Ice will come back early for Shizuru-san. I'll join this bet."
"Alright, alright." Ling laughed as if she wanted the world to be in chaos. "I bet Ice will come back."
"What's the reason?" Zhibao asked.
"I don't know. I just thought he would come back.”Ling thought for a moment and replied.
"Then…I also bet that big brother Bing will come back."
" Me too," Mary and Tai Yi said one after another.
"Ah. Then it seems that I can only bet that he won't come back.”Zhibao shrugged helplessly.
"What about Shizuru-jie-jie? What are you betting on?" Ling asked.
"Um... Can I not participate in this game? After all, I'm the party involved." Shizuru waved her hand.
"Yes, I am. Alright. Then, Shirley. If you lose, I want you to kiss my brother in front of everyone.”
"Eh?" Zhibao's face turned red. "How…How can this be?" Shizuru sat on the bed and giggled after hearing Ling's words.
"What if you lose, Ling?" Zhibao looked at Ling with a red face and an unyielding expression.
"If I lose. I'll do whatever you want."
"Then…If you lose, you have to call Ice big brother in front of everyone.”
"Eh?" Ling blushed as well. "Why is it like this?"
"Hahahahaha…" Shizuru could no longer control herself. "I say, both of you ended up letting Ice take advantage of you."
"Humph... Even so, we can't let her see us as a joke."
"Humph... Even so, we can't let her see us as a joke." The two little girls shouted in unison.
"Hehe. I'm not sure. I'm scared of you. Then…What should I send?" Shizuru picked up her phone and looked at it.
"Hehe. Leave this to me." As she spoke, Ling grabbed the phone and pressed on it, then displayed the information she had pressed.
Ice, I feel so uncomfortable. Come back quickly.
"This is…It's too embarrassing." Shizuru said with a flushed face.
"It's okay, it's okay. If I didn't send it like this, how could he have come back?”Ling giggled.
"Doesn't that mean I'll definitely lose? Then I won't bet." Zhibao shrugged.
"Hey? Why, Xue Li, are you afraid?" Ling said mischievously.
"If I send it like this, I will definitely lose.”
"Tsk, then let's switch. I bet that he won't come back, and you bet that he will. Do you dare?" Ling was afraid that Zhibao would escape. Hence, he changed his choice.
"Hehe. I'm not sure. Then you'll definitely lose, Ling." Zhibao smiled.
"How can you be so sure that he will come back? What's the reason?" Ling said angrily.
"That idiot... If he doesn't come back now, I'll never talk to him again.”
"Alright, I'll do it. It was a deal. If he doesn't come back, Shirley, you're not allowed to talk to him for the rest of your life.”
"Alright, if he comes back. Ling, you have to call him big brother in front of everyone.”The two girls were at loggerheads. It made the smell of gunpowder very strong.
"Um…" Mary said in embarrassment. "That. What if Big Brother Bing really has something to do and is delayed because of your bet? What if he gets angry?"
"It's alright. If he's angry, I'll be in charge of coaxing him.”Ling turned her head and said to Mary. Then, he turned to look at Zhibao again." This way, Mary and the others won the bet. You won't lose out, right?"”
"Hehe. I'm not sure. Alright. I'll bet with you." Zhibao smiled confidently.
The smell of orchids, the smell of lavender, the smell of home, the wings of angels, the wings of demons, the wings of guardians.
According to Ling's message just now. Shizuru pressed the confirmation button. In less than two minutes, her phone vibrated again. Wait for me, I'll be right back. A short message appeared in Shizuru's eyes.
"Hey, hey. What exactly did she send, Shizuru-san?”Ling looked at Shizuru nervously.
"Hehe. I'm not sure. You guys can see for yourselves." Shizuru threw her phone on the bed and four little heads poked over. Immediately, Ling squatted on the ground with a vexed expression.
"Wuwuwu... If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have swapped with Xue Li." Ling was drawing circles on the carpet.
"Hehe. I'm not sure. If you lose, you have to admit it." Zhibao smiled evilly.
"Humph. If you lose, so be it." Ling looked at Zhibao angrily. "But this also proves that my brother is a good man. So Xue Li, you have to treat him well. If I find out that he was hurt because of you. I won't forgive you!" Ling's words made Zhibao blush again. He didn't know whether to answer or not. This could be considered as letting Ling vent her anger.
Half an hour later.
"I'm back." A lazy voice sounded at the door. Of course, this voice belongs to me.
"Welcome back. "Ice ~" Ling replied sweetly.
"Ah? You're all here. Why were they all gathered here so early in the morning?”I asked.
"Hehe. It's like this..."
After listening to Ling's explanation. I held my forehead helplessly. "You guys. You really know how to have fun."
"Don't be angry, brother. Ling has already made such a big sacrifice.”Ling rubbed against my arm like a kitten.
"Hey, hey, I'm really defeated by you guys. Forget it, there was nothing to be angry about. Let's get down to business. Shizuru-jie-san, how are you feeling? Are you still in pain?”I asked Shizuru who was lying on the bed.
"Yes, I am. She had just taken her medicine, so she was fine.”
"That's good. But then again... Ling, you're actually willing to call me brother because of a bet with Zhibao. This makes me very happy." I smiled wickedly at Ling.
"Humph. Don't even think about it in the future.”As she spoke, Ling shook off my arm and said angrily.
"Hey, hey…Can you not change so fast? I haven't adapted to it yet." I narrowed my half-moon eyes at Ling. Ling also squinted her half-moon eyes at me. He reached out his hand.
"Where's the gift?"
"Hmm?"
"Didn't you say you would bring a gift back?”
"Who asked you to rush me back? I haven't bought a gift yet." I pretended to be angry and turned my head away from her.
"Ah... Sob, sob, sob. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have made this bet with Xue Li. This is a big loss." Ling was drawing circles on the bed with tears in her eyes.
"Really. You made a mistake and still want a gift." I squinted my half-moon eyes and used my clothes as a cover to pull out five exquisite boxes from the necklace. "Open it and take a look."
"Eh? This is... Wow. "What a beautiful brooch!" Ling opened the box with her name on it and shouted in surprise. "Thank you, brother ~" Ling then rubbed herself against me like a kitten.
"Hehe, it's good that you like it. Taiyi, your tie clip, and Mary, your hair clip.”I handed them their boxes.
"Thank you, Big Brother Bing." The two of them took out their gifts. He quickly put it on.
"There's more. Shizuru-san, this is yours. Zhibao, this is yours." I handed the last two boxes to them.
"Hehe. I'm not sure. Thank you for the ice." Shizuru smiled gently. Zhibao looked at me in a different way. "Ice. Why is my box different from theirs?”
"Ah, I'm not sure. Because the purple diamond I got can only be divided into four parts. So the thing in your box is made of another diamond.”I replied.
"Only mine is different?" Zhibao looked at the box sadly.
"Silly girl. Don't get the wrong idea. Your gift is much more precious than theirs.”I narrowed my half-moon eyes at Shiho.
"Exactly. That's why you're the one Bing likes.”Shizuru smiled.
"Tsk... They were showing off their love again. Taiyi, Mary, let's go. It's time for class.”Ling said sourly.
"Yes."
"Yes."
The three of them left my room one after another. I could only smile helplessly at Ling's sour expression. "Aren't you going to open it and take a look?" I asked the two beauties in the room.
"Hehe. I'm not sure. Then I'll open it." Shizuru opened the box first. An elegant necklace appeared in front of her. "This necklace…It's so beautiful." Shizuru's eyes were filled with joy and tears of happiness. "Thank you, Ice. This is the best gift I've ever received.”
"Idiot, why are you crying? Come, let me help you put it on." I smiled. She undid the necklace and went around Shizuru's neck.
Shizuru looked even more mature with the necklace on. "Hehe. Shizuru. You're even more beautiful now." I giggled.
"Hehe, thank you, but Bing, you should take care of your Zhibao first.”Shizuru pointed behind me. I turned around. I found Zhibao staring at us in a daze. His eyes were filled with envy and hope.
"What, Zhibao? Aren't you going to take a look at your present?”
"Ah, I'm not sure. I... I... I'll go back and take a look." With that, Zhibao turned around and walked out of the room without looking back. I was left with a puzzled expression.
