Chapter 47

Family members, should we believe her kindness and understanding, or should we believe I

Unknown planet

Inside a dimly lit basement.

On a dilapidated wooden bed, a petite girl with fair skin and pigtails is strapped to it.

Both wrists and both ankles were locked with heavy iron chains.

The person was fixed in a star shape.

Perhaps because she hadn't eaten all day, Hanabi's shrunken belly was already making "gurgling" sounds.

Meanwhile, sitting opposite Xi Yao, there was a variety of delicious food laid out in front of her.

There is fried chicken, hamburgers, and fries.

Cakes, bread, egg tarts,

There's also delicious milk tea and soft drinks.

Xi Yao casually picked up an egg tart, took a bite, immediately closed her eyes, and made a sound of utter satisfaction with a look of blissful delight.

"Well……"

"This is so delicious!"

After quickly finishing the egg tart, Xi Yao picked up another one and slowly walked up to Hua Huo.

Holding the egg tart in her palm, and pointing it at a spot where the fireworks were visible but out of reach, Xi Yao asked with a smile:

"Firework-neechan, do you want some?"

Looking at the golden and tempting egg tart in Xi Yao's hand, Hua Huo silently swallowed.

It smells so good!

It looks delicious!

But she knew that Xi Yao was just toying with her.

As long as you say you want to eat it, she will smile mischievously and say:

"I want to eat it!"

"I won't give it to you!"

If you say you don't want to eat, she will say with a regretful look:

"I really wanted to share the food with Hanabi-neechan, but unfortunately, Hanabi-neechan didn't want to eat it."

"Okay, okay~"

"Then all this delicious food will have to be eaten by one person alone~"

In short, no matter what, she wouldn't actually give the food to herself.

She just wanted to see that itchy, unbearable feeling of wanting something but not being able to reach it.

It's just a little trick.

I am the most beautiful girl in the universe, the invincible Hanabi-sama!

How could I possibly fall for such a scam?

Even if I starve to death here today, I won't eat a single thing from you!

"Coo coo coo..."

My stomach rumbled again, at an inopportune moment.

Clearly, our Lady Hanabi is starving.

Hanabi:......

No!

We mustn't fall for Xi Yao's treacherous scheme!

But I'm so hungry!

Waaaaah~

Although she was a little hungry, it wasn't unbearable.

But that egg tart was just so delicious.

This amplifies Hanabi's hunger to an extreme degree.

My lower abdomen feels empty and very uncomfortable.

She stared longingly at the egg tart that was within reach, her pink eyes filled with yearning.

But in order to prevent Xi Yao from succeeding, she gritted her teeth and didn't say a word.

Poor Hanabi-neechan, she was so upset about not getting her egg tarts that she had a mental breakdown, crying and making a fuss. Waaah, so pitiful!

It has to be said that Hanabi's desperate attempt to endure was quite adorable.

"Hanabi-neechan, you're clearly hungry, why don't you say anything?"

"Are you afraid that Xi Yao won't give you anything to eat?"

"Little Xi Yao, I'm very understanding~"

"How could we let our lovely Hanabi-neechan go hungry?"

Xi Yao smiled and looked very kind.

Fireworks: (¬_¬)ノ

Understanding and considerate?

you?

How could you even say those four words?

Family members, do you believe her kindness and understanding, or do you believe I am the Goddess of Joy?

"Sigh, I never thought Hanabi-neechan thought of me like that."

"I'm so heartbroken~"

"Waaaaah~"

"Xi Yao, in the end, I still gave my heart to the wrong person."

"It's alright, I won't blame you, older sister~"

"The things are here. Since you don't want to see Xi Yao, then Xi Yao can leave."

Perhaps seeing through her inner thoughts, Xi Yao produced a handkerchief from somewhere, pouted, and wiped away non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes with the handkerchief while shrinking her nose, looking very aggrieved.

……

Hanabi's lips twitched, and she was utterly speechless.

Where did that green tea smell come from?

And you can just leave whenever you want.

But you should at least let me go before you leave!

How am I supposed to eat if I'm locked up here?

Seeing that Xi Yao was about to leave, Hua Huo became a little anxious.

It's so frustrating to have such delicious food right in front of you but not be able to eat it, especially since you're really starving.

Forget it.

Being fooled is better than going hungry.

"Xi Yao, wait a minute."

"I want to eat!"

"Oh?"

Xi Yao turned around instantly, smiling as she stared at the fireworks.

"Hehehe~"

"You just said you wanted to eat it, right?"

She held an egg tart in one hand, her light blue eyes slightly narrowed, and a mischievous smile appeared on her lips, giving her a sinister look.

Hanabi:......

Sigh, I knew it.

Just when she thought Xi Yao would definitely say with a wicked smile, "I won't give you any,"

Xi Yao, however, directly held the egg tart to her lips.

Hanabi:?

What's going on?

Are you really giving it to me?

Is she really that kind-hearted?

The idea was immediately rejected by Hanabi.

impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

There's definitely some kind of conspiracy involved!

I understand!

There must be something in this egg tart!

For example, those powders that cause unbearable itching all over the body when ingested!

She definitely wants to see me make a fool of myself!

Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, Xi Yao realized what she was worried about.

But she pretended not to know anything and asked innocently:

"Firework-neechan, why aren't you eating?"

"Didn't you just say you wanted to eat it?"

Then, as if suddenly realizing something, she covered her mouth and exclaimed:

"Hanabi-neechan, you don't think I drugged it, do you?"

"They saw that you had difficulty moving around, so they personally fed you. I never expected you to think of them like this."

"Waaaaah~"

"I'm so heartbroken~"

Hanabi:......

Why don't you guess why I have difficulty moving around?

Are you feeling wronged?

"It's alright, Xi Yao won't blame her sister."

"Since you have doubts, then Xiyao can eat half of it first."

As she spoke, Xi Yao cut the egg tart in half and casually put one half into her mouth.

Then he handed the other half back to Hanabi's mouth.

After watching Xi Yao swallow the egg tart and waiting a while to make sure everything was alright, Hua Huo couldn't wait to eat the remaining half of the egg tart.

At this moment, she didn't have time to think about why Xi Yao would actually give her food; she just wanted to fill her stomach first.

"Well……"

"It's delicious!"

In her extreme hunger, Hanabi was so happy to eat such delicious food that she almost cried.

However, she had been hungry for a long time.

Half an egg tart is not enough to fill your stomach.

Moreover, once the desire for food was aroused, my stomach became even hungrier.

She looked pitifully at Xi Yao beside her and said:

"Could we have a little more food?"

"Of course!"

"Little Xiyao, I'm very sensible."

"How could we let Hanabi-neechan go hungry?"

As she spoke, Xi Yao walked to the side and picked up a hamburger.

Perhaps because she was too hungry, Hanabi wolfed down her food, finishing the hamburger in just a few bites.

Xi Yao picked up a fried chicken and a cup of milk tea.

But halfway there, she suddenly stopped.

Seeing this, Hanabi sighed silently.

I knew it; what was bound to happen would eventually happen.

How could she be so kind as to actually let me eat my fill?

I guess they're trying to whet my appetite first, and then stop feeding me, just to torment me.

It's alright. I ate at least half an egg tart and a hamburger. Although I'm still a little hungry, I can bear it.

As if to confirm her guess, Xi Yao put the fried chicken and milk tea back.

Is that really the case?

Hanabi sighed and lowered her head.

Looks like my tummy will be hungry for a while.

Just then, she suddenly heard Xi Yao's voice in her ear.

"Hanabi-neechan, eating like this is too much trouble. How about I let you go and you just go eat over there?"

Hanabi looked up, completely bewildered: ∑(O_O;)

"what?"

...

P.S.: Dates are still in short supply!

Have a happy day today!

Thank you so much for your love, my lovely readers!

The young author was so happy that he jumped up and hung his head on the ceiling!

Also, regarding update speed (very quietly)

The young author really didn't slack off (poor thing.jpg)

Unfortunately, this humble author isn't a pro, and writing is indeed quite slow (crying emoji).

But don't worry, everyone, the young author will work even harder!

I'll think of a way to try and achieve three updates a day for now.

Anything beyond that, well, that's up to fate.

Finally, thank you again for all the gifts and positive reviews!
