So, I watched the two of them happily eating sweets.
Surprisingly, it seemed that Shinyo-chan was also quite aware of me.
"Yo-chan too! Here you go."
Shinyo-chan handed me a piece of potato chips and put it in front of my mouth. It seemed like she wanted me to eat it.
"Your stomach was growling, wasn't it? Yo-chan, there's nothing I can do about it."
No, it's not like I'm hungry or anything... but it's a kind gesture so I'll accept it.
"Thank you, Xin Yang."
"Nihihi♪ Of course, she's my future bride. Aaah♪"
I ate it, or rather, it was pressed against my lips, so perhaps it would be more accurate to say I was being forced to eat it. Shinyo's fingers were trying to reach into my mouth without any regard for me, so I was careful not to bite into them and only accepted the potato chips.
Yeah, the consommé flavor is delicious too. I think my sister prefers light salt, but I guess Shinyo chose the sweets. My favorite flavor is black pepper, so my sister and mother said it was unorthodox and didn't buy it for me very often. It's delicious, though.
"Yo-chan, here you go!"
As soon as you eat the first one, they immediately force a second one on you. As expected, they don't give you a choice. You have no choice but to eat it.
"Yes, open your mouth."
"Hmmm... Xinyou-chan? Isn't the pace a little fast?"
Hime only had one, and he was more gentle with his hands.
He was rough and forceful with me, and he kept trying to make me eat one after another as if I was a glutton, so I almost choked.
"You're a boy, right? Eat a lot, okay?"
"...I'd be happy if you could just take it easy for a bit."
"Huh? You have to eat a lot to get full."
I think that's my line though.
Shinyo-chan, it seems like you've always treated me like I'm younger than you. I think it's probably because of your mother's influence.
My older sister dotes on me, her younger brother, so I guess she treats me in the same way.
And it seems that the child who saw it was also somewhat influenced by it.
"...Youhei, please have this too."
I wonder if she was jealous of the interaction between me and Shinyo-chan.
Hime held out a cookie to my mouth.
"Eat lots and grow big"
No, that's why it was my line.
What's more, Hime is so petite that her build is not that different from Shinyo's, so I think she's the one who should eat a lot.
Although there is only a difference of two years in age between six and eight, the difference of two years is quite large, so it is normal for the difference in physique to be obvious at a glance.
In the early grades of elementary school, the difference in physique between children born early in the year and those born later is obvious. And yet, the fact that the two are of similar build means that Hime is small.
And since I'm of average build, I feel like if I eat too much I'll actually get fat.
"...Aren't you going to eat it?"
"I'll eat it! Of course I'll have it, itadakimasu!"
Hime looked sad and downcast, so I quickly swallowed the potato chips and ate a cookie.
No good... Maybe I really do care about Hime.
No matter how legitimate the reason, he thinks it would be better to push himself than to see Hime's gloomy face.
