Xiao Rong

After breakfast was finished, Xiao Yun waited outside for Xiao Rong to change into her uniform.

After a few more minutes of waiting, Xiao Rong walked out of the house in her elementary school uniform, a sky blue shirt, and a blue skirt.

"Ready?" he asked her.

She nodded. "En."

Xiao Yun smiled and they left the house with Xiao Rong leading.

"Can I hold your hands?" she asked the second they left.

"Of course," he held his hand out to her, and she grabbed it with a bright smile.

His hand was warm, it gives her the feeling of security. She believed that even if the sky falls on them right now, she would be fine as long as she held onto his hand.

During their walk, Xiao Rong asked him many questions.

"Big brother, are you going to stay with us or do you have to go back to school?"

"I plan on going to college soon, but I will remain in the city," he said.

"So you are not going to school overseas?"

"No, I am staying here."

Xiao Rong smiled with relieved upon hearing that he was not going to leave her alone again.

"Big sister is a jerk now, so I only have big brother," she suddenly said, her voice low.

Xiao Yun chuckled. "How so?" he asked her.

"She never plays with me anymore and always stays inside her room to play her stupid game. Big brother used to do that too, play games all day, but at least you still played with me when I asked," her voice sounded a bit happier when she recalled her memories with him.

"Don't you have friends at school you play with?"

"I do, but it is only when I am at school. I am always bored at home."

"If only we have a pet a home…" she added.

"Want one?" he asked.

"I have already begged dad many times before, but he still refused to get me a pet. He said that owning a pet has too many responsibilities and someone like me will be overwhelmed."

"Well, he is not lying… Taking care of a pet is not easy."

"...."

Xiao Rong turned quiet.

"If you were to get a pet, what would you want?" he asked her.

"A dog!" she answered without hesitation.

"What kind?"

"The yellow one with the cute cheeks!"

"...."

Xiao Yun was a bit baffled. What kind of description was that?

"Do you know the name of this type of dog?"

"No, but I see it all the time on television and internet."

Xiao Yun pondered and began searching on the internet.

[Yellow dog with cute cheeks.]

It took mere seconds before millions of result popped up.

He showed her the screen where it showed mostly the same looking dog. A yellow dog with cute cheeks. He was surprised at how accurate her description was.

"This is it! I want this dog!"

Xiao Rong confirmed that the dog shown on his phone was the type of dog she wanted.

"A Shiba Inu? That's a Japanese dog," he said.

"I don't know. I just know that it is very cute and I want one."

Xiao Yun chuckled and said, "Then do you want to take a look at a few dog shops after school? We will see if there are any."

Xiao Rong looked at him with a surprised and confused expression mixed together.

"Are you going to buy one?" she asked, her voice filled with yearning.

"If my cute little sister wants a dog, of course, I will get one," he smiled.

"Really?! Really?! Really?!"

Xiao Rong stopped walking to jump while tugging at his cloth at the same time. She was clearly beyond excited.

But then she remembered her father and calmed down.

"But father…"

"Hmmm, then how about this?"

Xiao Yun dialed a number on his phone and puts it on speaker.

"Xiao Yun? Did something happen?"

It was their mother.

"Ah, I know this is sudden, but I plan on getting a dog for the house if you don't mind," he went directly to the problem.

"A dog? Why so sudden?"

Xiao Yun looked at Xiao Rong who was shaking her head vigorously.

She did not want him to mention about her…

"Do you remember when I used to want a dog? It just came up on my mind and I want to fulfill that childhood dream of mine."

He was not bullshitting with her. He really wanted a dog long ago.

"So can you speak with dad for me when he wakes up? I won't be back until later on this afternoon."

Xiao Rong gripped her tiny fists, hoping to hear what she wanted to ever since she saw that yellow dog from a meme…

Their mother was silent for a moment to ponder.

Then she finally spoke, "Why are you even asking us? Are you not the man of the house now? You can do whatever you want. I am sure your father will not say anything either. Just get one if you want, but make sure you can handle the responsibilities it comes with."

Hearing their mother's approval, Xiao Rong's eyes began shining brightly, and the aura around her big brother had suddenly turned holy in her eyes. It was as if he had turned into a god who could achieve anything!

"Okay, thank you. I will get one then," said Xiao Yun.

"Is that all?"

"Yes, that is all for now. Bye."

He hung up.

"YES! YES! YES! THANK YOU, BIG BROTHER! I LOVE YOU!"

Xiao Rong began shouting in the open streets, gathering curious gazes around her.

Xiao Yun laughed at her enthusiasm and said, "Anything for my cute little sister. Just promise me that you will be a good girl and go to school diligently."

"I will! I promise! Big brother, squat down, I want to give you a kiss!"

Still laughing, Xiao Yun listened to her and squatted down, receiving a big kiss on the cheeks from her.

Seeing how she was unwilling to let go of his face, he said, "Okay, that's enough. Any more and I'm afraid you might accidentally create a hole on my face…"

Xiao Rong listened and separated her wet lips from his face, leaving a red mark on his face.

Xiao Yun did not know whether to laugh or cry. His cheeks were in more danger just now that the missions he would go on where death was always staring at him from a distance.

This little sister of his is really dangerous...
