I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

"Eh? Sakura, Lorelaia, what are you doing?"

Familiar voices and affectionate names belong to only one person in this world.

Sakura and Lorelaia couldn't believe their ears.

he--

he--

he--

He's not, how could he be?

First, let me explain the status of Sakura and Lorelaia.

Lorelaia was facing the door of Matou's house, walking backwards, Sakura pushing her in front. Because Sakura had just started growing, and Lorelaia was already almost there, Sakura was completely blocked by Lorelaia, and the two girls couldn't see what was going on behind them.

Tsuruya and Kariya are different. They are both tall (compared to minors, they are actually not very tall, just about 173 or 174). They are still standing at the door, and it is clear what is happening in front of their house.

When he saw the short figure wearing a gray cloak with only a pair of dark blue eyes exposed, he was suddenly filled with surprise.

"son!"

"Shinji!"

"Oh, father, uncle, did you know that I was coming back today and came out to welcome me?"

Shinji waved his hand and walked past the two girls who were stiff and seemed to be in a state of petrification.

"By the way, is there anything to eat? I haven't had lunch yet and I'm starving."

It was this move that lifted Sakura's "petrification". The girl took a step across and stopped in front of her brother.

"Brother, is it really you?"

"Why, you don't even recognize me as my brother. It's a shame that I love you so much." Shenji stretched out his left hand and rubbed his sister's head.

Feeling the familiar touch, Sakura suddenly felt that the whole world became brighter. All the pain and sadness disappeared without a trace, leaving only the joy that filled her body.

"Ah, it's brother, it's brother, brother is back, brother, I miss you so much."

Sakura held down Shinji's hand and kept rubbing her head on the latter's palm.

"Okay, okay, stop acting like a baby, I've only been away from home for a month."

While Shinji was comforting his sister, he caught a glimpse of Loreleia who was looking at him in a daze, and said with a smile:

"Long time no see, Miss Lorelaia, why are you coming to my house if you don't accept the engraved inheritance at home?"

"Shenji, is it really you?" Lorelaiya murmured.

"Well, why did you say the same thing? And the strange expressions of my father and uncle. It seems that something happened that I don't know about. Forget it, let's talk about it after entering the house. Compare it with the historic Bartholomew family. It looks a little shabby, don’t mind it, young lady.”

Shinji said, taking his sister's hand and walking into the house.

Loreleia, who was following him, shook her head repeatedly. She didn't mind, not at all. At least it made people feel better than the Bartholomew family. Moreover, it is more important than anything else that you can be safe and sound.

When she thought of this, Lorelaia's steps became extremely brisk.

The Matou family, which had just been covered with a layer of gloom and gloom, suddenly cleared up and the sun shone brightly.

◇◇◇

The scene once again returned to the Matou family's living room. Broken teapots and teacups were scattered on the floor, and the tea spread directly under the coffee table.

Under Shinji's strange gaze, Sakura stuck out her tongue in embarrassment and trotted to get the mop.

After sitting down again, Shen Er swallowed the fruits on the coffee table while continuing to ask the question: "Tell me, what happened? Why did you come to Japan? What happened before?"

Lorelaia is worthy of being the lord in charge of the legal affairs department. She has returned to normal in just a few minutes from the door to the living room: "You ask me? What else do I want to ask you? From that night to now, it has been such a long time You’re neither home nor in London, and what’s worse is that you don’t even have any news, what are you doing?”

"Well, it seems that you already know about that matter. You can't blame me for that." Shenji swallowed a banana and said, "You know better than me how difficult that old monster Ottenrose is. During this period of time, I Just busy running for your life.”

"Then you should spread the news. Even if we can't help in time, we can at least let me and your family feel at ease."

Lorelaia's words resonated with Tsuraya and Kariya.

"Miss Lorelaia is right, we are very worried when you haven't heard from you for a month."

"Yes, yes, especially Sakura. She stays in front of the phone every day, afraid of missing your call."

As if in response, as soon as Kariya finished speaking, Sakura, who had just cleaned up the floor, ran out of the kitchen, sat next to Shinji, and hugged Shinji's arm without letting go.

"Brother, why didn't you call back for so long?"

"Because my phone got damaged due to water damage." Shenji scratched his cheek, "During this period, I spent more than half of the time soaked in water, and I was worried that I might be discovered by the family members of Oteng Luoxie, so I didn't dare to go there. The place where I lived was floating along the Po River for half a month. It wasn't until my injuries stabilized that I found a nearby airport and slipped onto a plane bound for Japan, hiding in a warehouse and smuggling back."

"Brother is injured!" Sakura's expression changed instantly, and she stretched out her hand to pull Shinji's cloak, "Where is it injured? Come and see, is it serious?"

Shenji quickly held down Sakura's hand to prevent her from lifting her cloak: "It's better not to look at it, I'm afraid I'll scare you."

"No, I want to see it." Ying Buyi said.

"I just won't give it." Shen Er persisted.

The brother and sister suddenly got into a fight.

However, Shinji could guard against Sakura, but he couldn't guard against another girl who cared about him.

When Shenji wasn't paying attention, Lorelaia quietly left the sofa, walked around behind Shenji, and pulled off his hood.

Then, Lorelaia was dumbfounded, Sakura was dumbfounded, and so were Tsuraya and Kariya.

"Shen, Shen Er."

"Brother, brother."

"your hair--"

"——And the eyebrows, why are they gone?"

Yes, hidden under the cloak was a bald head, a bald head without a single hair, so smooth and shiny that it could reflect Lorelaiya's own face.

"So, I told you not to look at it." Shenji touched his new hairstyle, even though he had no hair, "I didn't dare to look at my reflection when I was rafting, so don't tell me anymore."

"You still haven't answered why you lost your hair?" Lorelaia asked.

"Ottenrose was killed. To escape from that thousand-year-old immortal, you have to pay a price."

Shinji said it casually, but it didn't sound so casual to Lorelaia's ears.

Shen Er's head was very clean, with no wounds or scars, proving that his head was not directly injured. But he also said that Ottenrose had lost it, and it had not grown back after such a long time. There must be a reason for this.

Lorelaia turned her eyes away from the striking bald head and turned to other parts still covered by the cloak, one of which caught her attention.
