Chapter 74 New Family Member
Chapter 74 New Family Member
"Human, what are you up to?" Kanna stared warily into Shichen's eyes.
"What could I possibly want?" Shi Chen asked calmly. "What do you have that I could possibly want?"
"Hmm..." Kanna bit her lip unwillingly, a point she couldn't refute, but she wouldn't be completely unguarded either.
"Humans cannot be trusted. You must be trying to use me for something."
"Ugh."
Shi Chen sighed, released her, and gently rubbed her little head, whispering, "It's true that humans can't be trusted, but can't you trust me, whom Thor trusts?"
"This..." Kanna glanced at Thor, who was all smiles, and then looked at him.
Shi Chen's smile remained unchanged: "I know it's only natural to be cautious when you're in unfamiliar territory, but you have nowhere to go right now, and Thor is here too. Can't you try trusting me for once?"
"..." Kanna stared blankly at him.
"It's fine to remain cautious for now, but how about we get to know each other slowly?"
Shi Chen lowered his head, moved closer to Kanna, and looked her in the eye, his smile gentle: "After we get to know each other, become familiar, and become friends or family, then you can trust me, okay?"
"Family..." Kanna murmured to herself.
"Yes, family." Shi Chen nodded.
"I...I understand." Tears suddenly welled up in Kanna's eyes.
"What's wrong?" Shi Chen was startled and quickly wiped away her tears.
Kanna didn't answer, she just sat on his lap and kept crying, her little face puffed up, looking very aggrieved.
"Don't cry, Kanna, or people will misunderstand and think I'm bullying you."
"I know what's going on!" Thor suddenly said from the side.
"What?" Shi Chen looked at her in confusion.
"Kanna was probably kicked out for playing a prank."
"A prank?" Shi Chen frowned; he didn't have a strong impression of it.
"Hmm." Tore looked at Kanna with amusement. "Kanna loves playing pranks, and her father probably went too far in disciplining her, so she was kicked out."
"...How outrageous does it have to be to get kicked out?"
"You'll have to ask Kanna."
"Hmm..." Kanna suddenly threw herself into Shichen's arms, pretending to be silent.
It seems that Thor's revelation of her reason made her very embarrassed.
However, this made Shi Chen understand why she was crying.
Kanna is indeed not mature enough, and her father doesn't care about her. Her prank was probably meant to attract attention, but it backfired and she got kicked out. She must feel wronged.
And he just said he wanted to become a family... Kids really care about that.
"Kanna." Understanding the reason, Shichen reached out and hugged Kanna again, letting her leave his embrace and look at him.
"W-What is it?" Kanna cautiously raised her head, her eyes still wet with tears.
Although she looked a little pitiful, Shi Chen still thought she was adorable and almost couldn't resist kissing her little face.
They're so chubby and cute, they're just too tempting.
However, we should be patient and wait until we are more familiar with the process before taking action.
Shi Chen looked at her tenderly, his eyes sincere, and said slowly, "From now on, this will be your home. Let's get along well, okay?"
"Yes!" Kanna nodded vigorously.
"That's great!" Thor exclaimed happily from the side.
"As expected, Lord Chen is very gentle. I like him the most."
"Okay, okay, I like you too, Thor."
Hehe~
"And what about me?" Kanna suddenly asked.
"Sorry, I only like Lord Chen," Thor replied, looking at her expressionlessly.
"...Hmph! I didn't ask Lord Thor, I... I asked this human!" Kanna turned her head away insincerely, looking pitifully at Shichen.
"Hehe~ I like Kanna too~ Also, my name is Shichen, you can call me big brother..."
"I understand, time." Kanna nodded.
"...Fine, call me whatever you want."
"Well, since you like me, Shichen, then I'll like you too," Kanna said seriously, her little face beaming.
"Really? I'm so happy!"
"Mmm!" Kanna couldn't help but laugh.
Thor, standing nearby, objected: "Lord Chen, this is...cheating?"
"...Where did you learn that word?" Shi Chen's lips twitched.
"Isn't that right?"
"Of course not! These two likings are different!" Shi Chen denied.
"Lord Chen, what's different?"
"Hmm, what's different about the time?"
"This is different..." Shichen looked at Thor from the left and then at Kanna, realizing that it was not appropriate to explain in front of her.
She's still too young.
"Different is different, but let's not talk about that for now. Kanna, let me introduce you to the other members of this family."
As Shichen spoke, he picked up Kanna and got up to walk towards Kasumigaoka Utaha and the others.
"Ah! Lord Chen, explain yourself clearly! Don't run away!" Thor quickly followed.
"How did it go? Did you successfully snag her?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha had been sitting behind the cashier with Nishiki Chizuka. When she saw Tokimitsu carrying Kanna over, she propped her face up with one hand, rested her thigh on her hand, and glanced at him sideways.
"What do you mean by 'bringing her back'? Kanna just couldn't go back, so I took her in," Shichen denied righteously.
"Tch~" Kasumigaoka Utaha scoffed.
"So her name is Kanna." Chizuka Nishiki looked at Kanna with a big smile.
Shichen introduced the two to Kanna: "Kanna, these two are Kasumigaoka Utaha and Nishiki Chizuka. You can just call them older sisters."
"Oh, Shiyu-neechan, Chizuka-neechan," Kanna called out obediently, not caring about seniority just because she had lived a long time.
"Hello, Kanna-chan~" Chitsuka Nishiki waved with a smile.
"H-Hello, Kanna...-chan." Faced with Kanna's soft and cute voice, Kasumigaoka Utaha could hardly remain indifferent.
"Brother Chen, can I hug Kanna-chan for a bit?" Chizuka asked.
"Asking me about this is useless."
"Then Kanna-chan..." Chitsuka Nishiki looked at Kanna expectantly.
"No...no." Kanna hugged Shichen's neck tightly.
"How could this be..." Nishiki Chizuki shrugged, her disappointment clearly visible.
"Haha~" Shichen couldn't help but laugh: "It seems you still need to slowly build a good relationship with Kanna."
"Then why does Kanna-chan let Chen-ge hug her?"
"You don't know this, do you?" Shichen explained smugly, "Kanna likes Thor, Thor trusts me, so Kanna trusts me too."
"Damn it, so Brother Chen benefited from Thor's influence."
"That's right, it's all thanks to me, yet Lord Chen still falls for someone else!" Thor complained from behind Shi Chen.
"What do you mean by 'falling in love with someone else'? Thor, don't talk nonsense!" Shichen rolled her eyes at her, annoyed.
"That's right, Lord Chen just said he likes Kanna."
"Oh~ so Brother Chen likes children, no wonder he saved me before." Jinmu Qianshu joked with a smile.
"What? Chen, are you a lolicon?" Kasumigaoka Utaha realized what was happening and looked at her dangerously.
"You guys..." Shichen shook his head helplessly, then carried Kanna towards the kitchen.
"Kanna, let's ignore them. Are you hungry? How about I cook something delicious for you today?"
"Thank you for the timing," Kanna nodded, thanking him in a childlike voice.
"Hehe~ Is there anything you'd like to eat?"
"The timing is fine."
"Kanna, you're so cute!" Shichen couldn't help but rub his face against Kanna's chubby cheeks.
It's really smooth and bouncy.
Shichen carried Kanna into the kitchen, while Thor and the other two stared blankly behind them.
"Could Brother Chen really like little girls?" Jinmu Qian Shu couldn't help but mutter to herself.
"That wretched Kanna, how dare she steal my Lord Chen!" Thor gritted his teeth.
Only Kasumigaoka Utaha remained calm.
"What are you two still standing there for? Didn't he just say he was going to cook it himself? Don't you want to try it?"
"what!"
The two realized what was happening and rushed to the kitchen.
Kasumigaoka Utaha watched the two hurried figures disappear into the distance, shook her head, then looked down at her proud figure in front of her, then at her long, shapely legs, nodded in satisfaction, and finally caught up with the two.
What's the use of being cute?
Sexiness is worthless!
