CLOSE-KNIT SIBLINGS

Chapter 6

"Ashe, get up! Get up!"

Before I could figure out what was going on, Luna had already pulled me out of bed. Luna threw my uniform to me and said, "Aria, hurry up, you're late!" Then she ran away.

Late? How could it be, my alarm clock hasn't rung yet? I quickly put on my clothes without knowing why, and ran downstairs in a hurry. When I saw the clock in the living room, I almost got angry.

"Luna, it's only six o'clock, why am I late!" Please help, I went to bed earlier yesterday, and you woke me up at six o'clock.

Staring at Luna, who had just finished dressing up in the bathroom and was wearing a standard office suit, I looked like you'd better give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise I'll make you pay.

But Luna didn't take my vicious look to heart at all. While putting on her small earrings, she said nonchalantly, "I'm going to be late."

Oh my God! What sin did I commit in my previous life! Why did you give me such a Luna?

I yelled, "What does your being late have to do with me? Why did you wake me up so rudely?"

Luna smiled and said, "Of course it matters. You have to take me to work."

I said angrily, "Why do I have to take you to work? Where's your motorcycle?"

Luna said, "It's broken and hasn't been repaired yet."

"Then you won't take a taxi!" I still refused to compromise.

Luna pleaded with me pitifully, "It's the end of the month. I don't have enough money. I have to ask you for help. You are my only brother!"

It's really hard to refuse a beautiful woman who pleads with you with a pitiful expression! Although I know that this woman is actually a rude, cunning, sarcastic and good at disguise, I still have to agree to her.

But before I agreed, in order to maintain my last bit of dignity, I still said: "Stop saying these mushy words, okay! I'll take you to work, but this won't happen again."

Luna cheered, picked up her bag, and rushed out with me. Looking at Luna's expression, I knew that she only heard that I agreed to take her to work, and turned a deaf ear to other words. I could only ask the heavens in silence.

Riding my six-speed Giant, I took Luna to the TV company. To be honest, it was really far.

Halfway through, Luna asked me: "What time did Aria come back yesterday?"

I replied: "I came back after 10 o'clock."

Luna said "oh", and didn't say anything.

I hesitated for a while, but still said to Luna: "Aria's situation yesterday was very strange."

Luna said in surprise: "Oh! What do you mean?"

I told her about Aria's situation yesterday. After listening to it, Luna pondered and said, "It's a bit strange. It seems to be related to Aria's meeting with Chad's parents yesterday. We have to find out what happened that day. For Aria's happiness, we may have to play Conan Doyle once." "Conan Doyle?" I asked doubtfully. Luna said proudly, "Don't you know? It's a detective!" I said, "It's Sherlock Holmes, right? Conan Doyle should be the author, right?" Luna's face flushed, and she gave me a slap in anger and said, "Stop talking nonsense. If necessary, you have to play Arsene Lupin." This violent girl! I touched the place where I was slapped, and said with a sad face, "No need to play a thief!" Luna was stunned for a moment. Looking at her face, I guess she didn't know that Arsene Lupin was a professional thief. She just thought he was a mysterious handsome guy with a mask. But she still insisted: "For Aria, you should go through fire and water without hesitation."

I smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, yes, you go through fire and water, I go through fire and water, we will go through fire and water without hesitation."

Luna nodded with satisfaction.

After arriving at Luna's company, Luna said: "Starting from the day after tomorrow, I will have four consecutive days off, including Sundays, so there will be five days. Then we will go to investigate Aria together."

I said: "How can that be possible? I still have to go to class."

Luna said firmly: "For Aria, I have to go even if I have to take leave."

I had no choice but to say: "Yes! I understand, I will go through fire and water without hesitation." Poor my perfect attendance award.

In the next few days, everything was very calm. Aria and Luna went to work as usual, and I went to class as usual. But I knew that an exciting detective game was about to start with Aria's happiness as an excuse.

As time was getting closer, when Luna and I looked at each other, we both found the excitement in each other's eyes, and the game was about to begin.
