When Ning You woke up, Sha Luo was staring at her. Her face was rosy and radiant, and she looked like a big apple, which was very tempting.
Feeling a little embarrassed by her gaze, Ning You asked in confusion, "Big sister? What's wrong?"
"N-nothing, Xiaoyou, may I call you that?" Shaluo said, taking Ningyou out of her arms and placing her beside her.
"Gurgle…" Ning You's stomach suddenly made a loud protest, as if urging its owner to eat quickly, making Ning You quite embarrassed.
"Are you hungry?" When Shaluo saw Ning You's appearance, her tense face relaxed. She thought that the bite was probably just because the child was too hungry.
"Um… a little." Ning You scratched his head sheepishly. He had just transmigrated and encountered Hilichurls, and then been chased for a while, so he was already tired.
Moreover, with his current small frame, let alone a Hilichurl, even a wild boar could easily defeat him. Nowadays, Ning You can probably only fight against emergency food.
"Come on, have something to eat." Sara said, picking up a piece of bird egg omelet for Ningyou. She wasn't quite sure what the child's tastes were.
But the old servants in the house had some experience taking care of children, so they bought some bird egg cakes, tricolor dumplings, milk, and other desserts that the children liked.
"Mmm, thank you, big sister." Ning You took a bite of the bird egg omelet. The subtle sweetness mixed with the aroma of eggs was very tempting, and every bite was full of happiness.
"Little brother You, you don't need to call me big sister anymore. My name is Kujo Sara, just call me… Sara-neechan." Sara couldn't help but gently pinch Ning You's face and playfully squish it.
Looking at the adorable little guy in front of her, Sara even had the idea of sleeping with him tonight.
"Then what should I do next, Sister Saluo?" Ning You asked. Although Saluo was very kind and gentle, and the milk foam was very comfortable to sleep on.
But he is ultimately not a person of this world, and he must prepare for the future.
"As for someone like you, Xiaoyou, the Heavenly Commander…" Sara's expression gradually darkened as she spoke.
For an orphan like Ning You, who has neither parents, there's a high probability she'll be assigned to the final episode and trained from a young age to become a suicide soldier or ninja…
"Sister Saro?" Ning You saw Saro's appearance and knew that her fate might not be good, so she quickly put on a well-behaved look.
"Xiao You…you really can't find your parents?" Sara asked earnestly, feeling a pang of heartache for the little boy in front of her.
She wandered alone in the mountains and forests when she was very young and never saw what her parents looked like.
Perhaps because of her past experiences, seeing Ning You, who was also an orphan, gave her the illusion that they were both in the same boat.
Moreover, the days when the Heavenly Order was in effect were not very good for Sara.
As a general, she had to maintain her dignity, and the Kujo family only gave her a surname and a title.
What has sustained Sara all these years is General Raiden, but looking at the little guy who has gone through the same thing, Sara really doesn't want to see him become some kind of suicide soldier.
"No, I've never seen my parents since I was born. I was always wandering around in Liyue. Later, an old man grabbed me and put me on a ship, saying he was going to sell me to Inazuma. I found a chance to escape…" Ning You half-truthfully recounted his origins. Since he insisted he was an orphan, Sara couldn't find out the truth.
Moreover, he was indeed an orphan without parents. In his previous life, he had already suffered enough as a working man. Now that God had given him a chance to be reborn, he wanted to live a good life this time, instead of working 007 every day.
"I…I understand." After hearing the rest, Sara couldn't take it anymore. Perhaps it was because of her vivid imagination, or perhaps it was because Sara was still immature.
I couldn't help but imagine Ning You's miserable life as a homeless person, and the experience of being beaten and scolded on the boat.
"Sister Sara…" Ning You suddenly tugged at Sara's finger and lowered her head shyly.
"What's wrong?" After hearing Ning You's experience, Sara, who had been somewhat hesitant, had a thought. Although it was tough following her, it was still better than becoming a ninja.
"I…can I go with Sister Saro? I'm very sensible, I can help Sister Saro cook, clean, and also…" Ning You counted on her fingers, trying to sell herself.
This sensible yet innocent demeanor, like a real wound, completely broke down the defenses of the heartbroken Sara.
Seeing Ning You's appearance, Sara, who never caused trouble for Kujo Takayuki, had an idea that went against the head of the family and hugged Ning You directly.
"From now on… you'll be my younger brother. I'll take good care of you in the days to come," Sara said softly.
She wasn't sure if keeping Ning You by her side was the right thing to do, but she really didn't want to see Ning You suffer.
"Sister Shaluo!" Ning You called out in a very cooperative manner, wrapping her two small hands around Shaluo's snow-white neck, and secretly vowing in her heart that she would definitely repay Shaluo well in the future.
Because Ning You arrived suddenly, and although there were rooms in Saro's house, they hadn't been prepared yet, Ning You had no choice but to sleep with Saro.
Ning You was taken to take a bath by the servants of the Shaluo family, and several middle-aged women surrounded little Ning You, marveling at her.
He even picked it up and weighed it in his hand, saying things like, "A girl who marries Ning You in the future will definitely be very happy."
This left Ning You, who had lived two lives, extremely embarrassed. After taking a bath and changing into the clothes bought by the servants, she fled into the Shaluo room as if trying to escape.
Shortly after, Sara, having finished her bath, returned to her room. The weather was so hot that even Sara, a tengu, couldn't stand it.
So she was wearing a loose white tank top and shorts, her smooth, delicate thighs and slender arms exposed to Ning You without any concealment.
"Gulp…" Ning You couldn't help but swallow. Although he was a little young now, he was still a man at heart, and he couldn't stand seeing Sha Luo like this.
"What's wrong, Xiaoyou?" Shaluo casually picked up a palm-leaf fan and waved it. She didn't really like summer because the hot weather could easily make the soldiers faint during training.
Moreover, my chest sweats very easily, and even after taking a shower, my white undershirt is already slightly soaked with sweat.
This is something that often troubles Saro, who even wishes it could be flatter so that it would be easier to draw the bow.
"It's nothing, it's just that Sister Shaluo…" Ning You hesitated, especially when she saw the milk foam turn into a milk ball, the destructive power of which was just too deadly.
"Are you hot?" Sara gently waved her fan at Ning You. The Kujo family naturally had some special ways to cool down, but Sara didn't really like this kind of relaxing enjoyment.
But seeing Ning You covered in sweat, she felt a pang of sympathy.
"A little, but Sister Saro's thighs are cool, so I'm not hot." Ning You rested her head on Saro's plump and soft thighs, greedily inhaling the faint fragrance emanating from Saro's body.
"What a spoiled little thing." Saro couldn't help but gently poke Ning You's cheek.
Looking at this little guy I've only known for less than a day, I feel like we've known each other for a long time.
"Tomorrow… I'll go explain to Father… at least I need to keep Xiaoyou by my side."
