"Are we idiots?"
Eleven in the morning.
Although they said they were going to look at apartnts, after breakfast, Chen Lusi and Lin Ying just ended up circling back to Qinyuan and Mansion.
Because there are apartnts for rent at Qinyuan and Mansion.
And from every perspective, continuing to live at Qinyuan and Mansion has its advantages.
Not to ntion, moving is easier.
Plus, the location is great, the rent isn’t outrageous, and there’s a two-bedroom apartnt ready for rent... there’s really no better choice around.
So, it seems like the two were all set to go out, but ended up just having breakfast.
"To seem less like idiots, we could go look elsewhere."
Lin Ying didn’t mind, seed quite happy, and softly said after watching the agent leave, "Either way, we’re already out."
"Does this count as going out?"
Chen Lusi glanced around.
Currently, the two are in a new apartnt, right above the one Lin Ying used to rent.
Compared to the old apartnt, this new one is much larger, but most importantly... it has an extra room.
The two have already signed the rental contract and got the keys, ready to move in anyti.
Lin Ying replied, "It’s not hard to go out again."
"Aren’t you hot?"
Chen Lusi glanced at Lin Ying, who wasn’t wearing a dress, yet it seed she should feel quite hot.
Because he felt hot wearing just a t-shirt.
Lin Ying gently shook her head, "I don’t feel it."
Chen Lusi: "Are you sure you’re not just pretending?"
"..."
Lin Ying pursed her bright red lips, then gently kicked his leg and looked up, "Chen Lusi, when a girl says she’s not hot, you shouldn’t say that; how am I supposed to respond? Admit I’m pretending, or ask you to help take it off?"
"Just say if you’re hot."
Chen Lusi thought for a mont, then reached out to tidy her shoulder-length hair, "You’ve never been one to hide your feelings since you were young."
"Alright, it is pretty hot."
Lin Ying sighed, looking down at her clothes, "But it’s not the clothes, it’s hot in this weather no matter what, unless wearing swimwear, but I don’t want to go to the beach."
"It is sumr after all."
Chen Lusi turned to look out the window, feeling nostalgic, "You sisters both aren’t fond of heat."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Ying also glanced at the window, then looked at Chen Lusi’s back with a nostalgic expression.
anwhile.
After a mont, Chen Lusi suddenly said, "Alright, let’s go down to take a break, change into cooler clothes, and plan how to move."
With that, he took the lead heading out.
Lin Ying snapped back, quickening her pace to catch up with Chen Lusi, suddenly saying, "Chen Lusi... do you rember what happened a few years ago? That sumr Lin Wan and I thought it was too hot, suggested ’swimming’ in the bath and you didn’t want to, so I just poured water on you."
"I rember."
Chen Lusi nodded, "That was when you were most childish."
"But it was when I was happiest."
Lin Wan looked at Chen Lusi’s back, smiling gently, "Back then we didn’t have so much to think about, but in the blink of an eye, Lin Wan is about to graduate high school... ti flies, it’s really nostalgic."
"You can’t have youth and the feeling of youth at the sa ti... maybe that’s what it is."
Chen Lusi paused at this, then led Lin Ying into the elevator, "But I think what you’re feeling now is probably a temporary illusion. While ti does pass quickly, if you were to drag Lin Wan to ’swim’ in the bath now, she likely wouldn’t refuse, and you two would probably still have fun.
What you’re feeling nostalgic for is simply due to the distance with age growing, you miss Lin Wan a bit."
"..."
Lin Ying raised her fair chin after hearing this answer, looking at the back of Chen Lusi’s head, "What about you?"
"?"
Arriving at the door, Chen Lusi took out the key to open it, then asked curiously.
"Well, if I pour water on you again, what would you do?"
Lin Ying stepped inside, standing gracefully in front of Chen Lusi.
"What can I do? Can’t hit you, probably just watch."
As Chen Lusi replied, he stepped forward, lifting her silky shoulder-length hair, revealing her fair neck, "Relax, nothing’s changed."
With that.
He paused, gazing intently at her serene face nearby, "Feeling cooler yet?"
"..."
Lin Ying was slightly taken aback, then asked with a flowering smile, "Just watch?"
"What else can I do? Join you guys?"
Chen Lusi said expressionless, "Still acting like you’re in your teens? Lin Wan is already eighteen."
"You can pretend I’m fifteen."
Lin Ying put her hands behind her back, slightly tiptoed, stretched to accentuate her graceful curves, "Anyway, whether I’m fifteen or twenty-five in front of you doesn’t make a difference."
Chen Lusi hesitated for a mont, then said, "Actually, it does."
Lin Ying curiously asked, "What difference?"
Chen Lusi: "..."
"Hmm?" Lin Ying stepped forward.
"Before leaving, I’ll feed you a few Spirit Balls."
Chen Lusi suddenly changed the subject, raised his hand to make a Spirit Ball.
Then.
Without waiting for Lin Ying to decline, he directly pushed it into her mouth.
"Mmm——"
Lin Ying widened her beautiful eyes, half-laying against Chen Lusi, softly slapped his shoulder, then reached to hold him tightly, pressing close, burying her face in his chest.
"..."
Chen Lusi clasped the delicate body in front, stiffly adjusting his mood.
"...Is this the difference?"
After a dozen seconds.
Lin Ying recovered, suddenly kicked off her shoes, lifted her small, fair foot to step on Chen Lusi’s foot, slightly raised her head, nudging his chin softly, asked.
"Correct."
After a long silence, Chen Lusi lightly responded.
"So I’m not fifteen anymore... don’t treat like I am."
Lin Ying lightly rocked on her tiptoes, nudged him, "And... co back early, I’m not really missing Lin Wan, it’s not her I’m longing for."
"What kind of sister are you?"
"That’s just , unless you take off my skirt... then go be her sister?"
"I refuse."
"...Idiot."
Lin Ying gently nudged his chest with her head, then raised her eyes, "Alright then, help move today!"
Chen Lusi looked at her, sowhat silent.
Thoughtful, subtle yet graceful, hard to grasp.
This is probably what girls are like.
...
That day.
The entire day, Chen Lusi was helping Lin Ying move.
And the next day, after settling everything, he embarked on the journey back to his hotown.
To be honest.
Coming to Peng City, even Chen Lusi did not expect to stay so long.
From the first mission trip until now, it had been almost a month. Fortunately, he didn’t have any pets, otherwise, going back now, he’d probably have to deal with a dead one...
Sitting by the window, just as this thought rose, Chen Lusi suddenly saw outside the window, a snow-white creature resembling a cat flashed by, seemingly jumping onto the roof of the bus.
A cat?
Noticing this scene.
Chen Lusi silently looked up at the roof of the bus.
Was that a cat?
The bus is quite high, could it really jump up there?
He wanted to confirm it, but before he could stand, the bus started moving.
He could only sit down, look back, and as the bus started, nothing fell off.
An illusion?
Looking at the empty back of the bus, Chen Lusi was puzzled.
And after reaching the destination, he specifically checked the top of the bus.
Nothing was on the roof.
He stuffed his hands in his pockets, quietly activated the Authority Ability, and looked again, still seeing no traces.
Probably an illusion.
Chen Lusi shook his head, and after repeatedly confirming nothing unusual, he left the station.
And about twenty minutes later.
He finally returned to the long-lost ’ho’.
It had been nearly a month since he left.
The rental in Jiangchang City remained unchanged, probably because Lin Wan or Lin Ying might have co to clean it, not much dust could be found.
Only the air was a bit stuffy.
Chen Lusi pushed the door open, looked at the familiar room, and paused.
To be honest, although the ti was not long, he always felt like it had been ages.
Probably because he experienced quite a lot during this period.
He stood for a while, then closed the door and took out his phone to send a ssage to Lin Wan.
But there was no reply.
Today is Friday, she’s probably still in class.
And it’s almost June; the most important days for her are coming soon.
The ssage Chen Lusi sent her also emphasized that if there’s no ti, she shouldn’t leave the school.
After sending the ssage.
Chen Lusi thought for a while, didn’t do much else, but pulled out the chair in front of the desk and turned on the computer.
In fact, returning this ti, besides fulfilling promises, planning to see Lin Wan,
he also planned to pick up his novel again.
That novel, "Tomb Sweeping and the Future."
Back when he first returned from his hotown, he had the idea to start a new book.
But just as he started, he paused because he joined the Celestial Strategy Mansion.
The idea was shelved.
But now it’s clear he cannot continue to let it sit... If he exits the Celestial Strategy Mansion, he’ll need to find a new source of inco.
Although the journey with the Celestial Strategy Mansion wasn’t pleasant.
But one thing Chen Lusi must admit is that——it really enriched his experiences trendously.
Superpowers, all kinds of people as well.
These were things he couldn’t encounter staying at ho before.
These things... might serve as inspiration.
Consider it as finding a way out for himself.
As Chen Lusi thought about it, he opened the docunt.
Looking at the docunt.
Instantly, the people and events he encountered during this ti flooded into his mind.
Chen Lusi thought for a mont, began typing, and quickly got imrsed in it.
In the room.
Only the monotonous sound of the chanical keyboard punching keys remained.
And when Chen Lusi ca back to his senses, it was already evening.
He turned his head to look out the window, then glanced at the phone beside him.
As he directed his gaze over, the phone vibrated.
A ssage arrived.
It was from Lin Wan.
Chen Lusi picked up the phone, glanced at the ssage she sent, then stretched, turned off the computer, picked up the phone, and left ho.
Outside.
Night and evening glow intertwined.
Although the air was slightly stifling, there were quite a few people out.
Chen Lusi avoided the crowd, went to a nearby shopping mall, and directly took the elevator to the fourth floor.
Even though different cities might vary, in his impression, most major stores seem to have cinemas on their top floor.
This shopping mall was no different—the largest building on the fourth floor was a cinema.
And on the way to the cinema by elevator, on both sides were drink shops and snack bars, probably because it was Friday evening, business was pretty good.
Chen Lusi observed the surroundings while looking for the store Lin Wan ntioned.
"Wenxin!?"
And then.
In the slightly noisy environnt.
A sowhat piercing voice suddenly appeared.
Although the person quickly lowered their voice, Chen Lusi still heard it.
He turned to look, the voice ca from the right—a group of three n and one woman leaning against the edge railing, conversing quietly.
The mont Chen Lusi directed his gaze there, the group noticed him as well, and seeing him, their expressions changed.
"..."
Chen Lusi saw their expressions change, slightly furrowed his brow, sowhat puzzled.
