Chapter 15

Recently, Hiyuki's life at school has been quite miserable, and the reasons for this phenomenon are multifaceted.

Firstly, his homeroom teacher, Liu Siqian, seems to have a grudge against Hiyuki that goes back eight generations. There isn't a single day when she doesn't find fault with him. In the first half of the semester, Hiyuki has already cleaned the grade head's office seven times, helped the grade head carry water four times, delivered papers three times, and helped the grade head avoid annoying male teachers twice... On the contrary, Qinyue and Ms. Liu have become good friends. Yes, they are friends. Ms. Liu really likes Qinyue's music, so she helped her get the privilege to use the music room at will. Every day, they would go to the music room to play for a while, and this was one of the few times when Ms. Liu didn't pick on Hiyuki, which made Hiyuki marvel at the magic of his sister's music more than once.

Apart from her sacred role as a teacher, Liu Siqian is just a girl who recently graduated from university. She loves snacks and likes to be playful, and occasionally she would cuddle with Qinyue and act cute. No matter how Hiyuki looked at Liu Siqian, she didn't seem like someone who should be a teacher, but her Chinese class was always lively, and she seemed like a completely different person after class.

Secondly, Hiyuki was quite upset to find out that he had become famous at No. 4 High School. The name "Truant Brother" had already spread throughout the school, which only had a few hundred students. Every day, many students would come to see the "hero" out of admiration, and even some bold girls would give Hiyuki love letters, though Qinyue would always take them and destroy them humanely.

Being famous isn't a good thing, because it means that teachers will pay more attention to you, especially when you become a negative example.

Fortunately, Hiyuki's desk partner played the role of a shield perfectly. His desk partner was named Qin Shou, who claimed to have 888 degrees of myopia from sitting in front of a computer for too long. Qin Shou was an extreme otaku who would take out his deluxe PSX to play moe-style dating sims during breaks, and sometimes he would forget to plug in his headphones.

This guy was also a legend. He claimed to be the fifth of the seven LV5 members of the Chinese Moe Alliance, and people called him "Ghost Boy."

What a bizarre nickname.

Hiyuki's high school life slowly progressed in this extraordinary yet ordinary way until one day...

========================= Ordinary Divider =========================

The last class was Chinese with Ms. Liu, who, as expected, once again asked Hiyuki to carry papers for her.

Hiyuki carried the thick stack of Chinese test papers, one for each of the forty-odd students, and tragically followed the carefree Ms. Liu, who was blessed by everyone.

Ms. Liu turned her head and looked at the aggrieved Hiyuki, covering her mouth and laughing unscrupulously.

"Hiyuki, do you want to know why I always pick on you?"

"Of course, do you need a reason for menopause?"

Hiyuki rolled his eyes, rushed in front of Liu Siqian, and kicked open the grade head's office door at a 45-degree angle.

"Is that so..." Liu Siqian still smiled as she took out a white fur coat from a standing wardrobe by the door and put it on. "Aren't you a bit curious?"

"What's there to be curious about? Menopausal women are the most unreasonable."

"Menopause... Menopause your sister!"

Liu Siqian's smile finally couldn't hold. She tried to make a fierce expression and slammed the door shut, making a loud noise as she locked it.

"Uh, what?"

Hiyuki looked at the enclosed space and the fuming Liu Siqian, swallowing hard.

"What, what do you want to do? I'll scream."

"Scream all you want. My office is specially designed to block any sound below 130 decibels."

Liu Siqian cracked her knuckles and sized up Hiyuki, as if deciding where to cut a piece of meat.

"What, what do you want to do? Just say it, and I'll do it."

"You said it? No backing out."

Do I have a choice? Hiyuki looked at the corner behind him and the cactus with thorns next to him, but he didn't say it out loud.

"Alright, then take this." Liu Siqian took out a small green book from her pocket, with a small round steel stamp on it.

"What?" Hiyuki took the suspicious item and read the words on it. Then he finally understood. He finally knew why Liu Siqian's teaching always felt off and why she always picked on him.

National Security Protection and Defense Department Intern Qualification Certificate, Serial Number 57014, ID: J-0113. Inside, there was a color photo of Hiyuki, his birth date, and other information, even more detailed than his household registration.

"You're from the National Security Agency!"

========================= NSA Divider =========================

Liu Siqian told Hiyuki that she was an examiner from the National Security Agency, responsible for evaluating new recruits. The evaluation usually consisted of two parts: professional skills and character. Hiyuki's professional skills had already been approved by his team leader, so only his character needed to be evaluated. The past month of harassment was an evaluation of Hiyuki's character, and Liu Siqian decided to issue the certificate because she believed Hiyuki had passed.

"But, how did you know it was me?"

"Of course, we are the state apparatus. Isn't it easy to check your household registration?"

"Uh, that's true. Knowing my IP address would reveal my address, and it would be easy to find me."

Hiyuki fiddled with the green book, flipping through it. It even mentioned his part-time job at Jialong International.

"So, what's your evaluation? Why did I pass? I think I argued with you more often."

"Tch, just a little sis-con."

...

========================= Sis-Con Divider =========================

When Hiyuki came out of Liu Siqian's office, it was almost seven o'clock. He found that Qinyue had been sitting in the corridor, doing her homework.

"Why didn't you come in?"

"I came early, but the door was slammed so loudly that I didn't dare to knock." Qinyue pouted and then suddenly picked up the test paper. "Look, I did my homework so quickly. I finished a whole set in just a little while."

"English?"

"No, math."

"So fast? Was it easy?"

"Not really, but my mind was particularly clear here, and I could think quickly."

"Strange."

... The two siblings gradually walked away.

At this moment, Liu Siqian quietly opened the door, frowned, and looked at the two laughing siblings in the distance.

"Strange..."

========================= Strange Divider =========================

Hiyuki and his sister had already reached the gatehouse when his sister suddenly stopped, looked up and down at Hiyuki, and tilted her head in confusion.

"?"

"Bro, aren't you going to take your backpack?"

"Uh... (╯﹏╰)b... I forgot... Wait for me."

"O(∩_∩)O Haha~ Dumb brother."

Ignoring his sister's gloating, Hiyuki ran all the way to Class 8, which was still open.

Feeling lucky, Hiyuki just picked up his backpack when he suddenly felt a chill, and a cold sweat broke out.

Because a strange object was rising from below, accompanied by a piercing, eerie laugh.

"Uh, Qin Shou?" Yes, this strange object was Hiyuki's desk partner, Qin Shou.

"Ah?" Qin Shou looked up, probably not seeing clearly, so he leaned forward until his glasses were almost touching Hiyuki's face. "Ah! It's Brother Long. What do you need?"

"Nothing, nothing." Hiyuki looked at the night outside. "Why aren't you going home? It's dark."

"Dark?" Qin Shou slowly looked out the window. "It really is dark. It's already so late."

"What were you doing that you forgot to go home?"

Suddenly, Qin Shou seemed to be electrocuted, shaking violently for a moment before returning to normal, which Hiyuki didn't notice.

"Hey, Brother Long, do you have a computer at home?" Qin Shou's tone suddenly became energetic, unlike his usual lethargic self.

"Ah, yes."

"Do you have games?"

"No, I don't like playing games."

"How can you have a computer without games, you fool!" Qin Shou slapped Hiyuki's shoulders. "A life without games is a failure. To become a winner in life, play games, young man!"

"Huh?"

"What are you saying? From today, from now, work hard for your rosy future."

Qin Shou took out a CD with Japanese writing from his pocket and solemnly handed it to Hiyuki. "Remember, to avoid regrets in life, start tonight."

"Uh, I'll try it at home. By the way, what's the game called?"

"Super Classic 3D Full Save Uncensored Chinese Version of 'Himouto! Umaru-chan'!"

========================= Uncensored Divider =========================

In the evening, Hiyuki stopped his sister, who was about to watch TV.

"Qinyue, do you play games?"

"?"

"My desk partner gave me a game disc. Want to play together?"

"Uh, sure. I've never played computer games before." Clearly, Qinyue was also interested.

The two siblings moved two soft stools from the bedroom to the computer room and started to study the disc.

"Okay, put it in... wait a moment. Oh, there's a manual. It says we need a projector. How fancy."

"There's a guide too. What do these lines mean?"

"I don't know. There's a sister line. Let's play this one? It's about a brother and sister."

"Sure. There are so few options, 1122. Got it, let's start."

The two siblings eagerly started the game, which looked like a 3D movie.

...

"Uh, the sister is so pitiful. She wants to be with her brother, but he doesn't know. I'm much happier."

"Did the brother do that with the neighbor's sister when he was so young? What does that mean?"

"That neighbor is so mean..."

"The sister really likes her brother."

"Is this level of... still considered family?"

"Stupid, the brother is definitely the sister's. The dumb brother is pretending not to know..."

Then came the part where the brother spies on the sister.

"..." Hiyuki secretly glanced at Qinyue and found that she was also secretly looking at him. Both quickly turned their heads away.

Why is my face so hot? Am I running a fever?

The plot developed, and the two siblings were engrossed. Soon, they reached the part where Haruhi responds to Umaru.

"......"

"......"

"Bro..." Qinyue softly said one word.

"?"

"If I did that..."

"......"

When the class president discovers Haruhi and Umaru, Umaru runs away, and the anxious Haruhi realizes that everything he has been holding onto is meaningless, and nothing is more important than his sister.

"Brother... why can't it be the brother?"

"......"

Umaru saves Haruhi, and Haruhi cries while hugging Umaru.

With the "GAME OVER" screen, the room gradually fell silent...

Hiyuki had never imagined that the relationship between a brother and sister could go to such an extent, so his mind was a mess. The clash of ethics, family, and love left him at a loss.

Qinyue quietly looked at her brother and then forcefully turned his blank head towards her.

"What are you confused about, brother? You are my brother, and I am your sister. We were, are, and will always be. Nothing can separate us, and I don't care what others think, brother!"

"Qinyue..." Hiyuki looked at his sister's face, which was so similar to his own, and opened his arms to hug her tightly.

"Not separate, okay..."

For the first time, Hiyuki kissed Qinyue.
