"Why do you look so tired?" asked Evan, who had just arrived at Riki’s apartnt. Evan brought sothing with him.
"A lot has happened, and I got caught in the rain, so my body feels very tired," replied Riki. He felt that his body was still fine, but at the sa ti, he felt that sothing was strange about his body.
"Since when did you get sick just from getting caught in the rain? Your immune system is much better than mine." Evan sat on the sofa in front of the big television.
On the table in front of the sofa, Riki had prepared so food, which he had ordered from a nearby restaurant. Riki didn’t have ti to cook, and besides, he didn’t want to bother.
"Whatever, what did you bring, Evan?" asked Riki, who was curious about Evan’s belongings.
Evan opened the package he was carrying, revealing sothing that felt nostalgic to Riki.
"That’s..."
"Sweet potatoes, you like these, right? I brought them for you. You rember if i have an inheritance, right? One of them is a large plot of land in the village. Before I sold it, the land was actually planted with sweet potatoes. But because it was neglected, it was just abandoned. Now the new owner of the land is clearing it. He harvested all the sweet potatoes and distributed them to the neighbors. And it turns out he also picked the good ones and sent them to . I’m sharing them with you. There are purple sweet potatoes, yellow ones, and white ones too... all of them are definitely sweet. Oh, there’s also a bonus of purple taro."
Riki still rembers that Evan’s family often gave him sweet potatoes. Riki used to roast or steam them. He often couldn’t eat for a day, so he was very happy when he got sweet potatoes, cassava, or sotis potatoes from Evan’s family.
But what Riki liked the most were the yellow sweet potatoes.
Evan smiled seeing Riki so happy to receive sothing as simple as that. Even though Riki now had a lot of money, he hadn’t changed. Evan was very relieved to see that. He thought Riki wouldn’t accept the sweet potatoes.
"I’ll make sothing with these later. Let’s eat first, Evan, I’m hungry."
"While watching a movie, okay? What movies are trending right now?" asked Evan, who had already turned on the TV and was choosing a movie to watch on a popular app.
"I don’t know, you know more about these things than I do, right?"
Evan glanced at Riki in surprise, "You’re younger than , but you don’t even know what’s trending among young people? Have you ever opened your social dia?"
Riki, who was ready to eat his al, turned to Evan and looked at his friend with a lazy gaze.
"When I didn’t have money, I didn’t have ti for things like that because I was busy working while studying. Then after I had money, I was still busy working to start a business, Evan. I only look at social dia when I need to."
"But people need entertainnt, Riki! Let’s go camping on the weekend, or go to the movies."
"Do I need all that? I have a campervan, but I think I’ll go to Hayper Entertainnt on the weekend."
Evan looked at Riki in disbelief. How busy was his friend that even on the weekend he had to go to Hayper Entertainnt?
"Why are you going there, Riki?"
"I was asked to co, Evan... it seems like they want to talk to about sothing. Actually, I already handed that kind of thing over to Jake."
"You’re making Jake very busy, Riki!"
"Don’t worry, now there’s Jean—you rember the student council president, right? He works with now."
Once again, Riki made Evan look at him with an expression of disbelief. Of course Evan rembered Jean. A friendly person, with many friends, skilled in everything, always looking like soone with a bright future.
"Jean?"
"Yeah, you were in the sa class as him, right? He even graduated before you."
Evan clicked his tongue in annoyance, "Don’t compare to soone as smart as him! Besides, I took a leave of absence from college, right? Of course he graduated first, but I’ll graduate and get my degree soon, just you wait and see."
Riki chuckled at Evan’s annoyed expression. That was ridiculous.
"Okay, hurry up and choose a movie and eat! You’re wasting too much ti just choosing a movie!"
Finally, Evan chose the latest movie starring Deva and Travis. It was a fantasy teen movie about fairies, vampires, and werewolves. Even though the movie was released about a month ago, it was still very popular. There were even many requests for a second season.
It was a movie that made Devano and Travis famous in a short ti. Moreover, their visuals were very suitable for the characters they played.
Devano, with his snow-white skin and blood-red lips, was perfect for the vampire character. Likewise, Travis, who had a tall, exotic, and sexy light tan body, with a face like a prince from a fairy tale, was perfect for the werewolf character.
Moreover, the actress playing the fairy is a young actress who has been in the acting world for a long ti.
Selene Rozeth.
With her iconic fairy-like beauty, she also has extraordinary acting talent.
Their food was gone in no ti, even though the movie wasn’t over yet.
Riki, who rarely watches movies, was easily drawn into the storyline. Although there were many things he thought were a bit strange, it was fantasy, so of course anything could happen.
However, since things like systems and magic really existed, could sothing like fairies also exist?
Well, that was just Riki’s wild imagination. Besides, what would he do if he t such a creature?

Liz stared bored at Kaivan, who was playing computer gas in front of her. The girl sighed repeatedly as she read an article about Riki that was trending on social dia.
People were starting to find out about Riki because he had repeatedly made surprising appearances in the virtual world.
This ti, suddenly, out of nowhere, they were talking about the mansion that Riki had just bought. Riki hadn’t posted anything on his dusty social dia accounts.
But Zeno, who had helped Riki get the mansion, posted about it. It wasn’t surprising, because Zeno had connections with luxury real estate agents. Zeno has many followers on social dia and he often posts things like that. Because if soone buys property through him, he will get a commission.
That’s how the conglorate’s grandson gets richer every day.
The sound of a courier delivering food orders could be heard. Kaivan imdiately rushed over to the courier, because he was the one who ordered food that night.
It was very rude considering Liz was trying to lose weight.
Even though she received a gift from Riki that helped her lose fat, she still maintained her diet. Liz was also trying to learn skincare and makeup from her cousin, Angeline.
However, Angeline herself was busy with the garden design that Riki had requested.
Liz felt like she was the only one with nothing to do.
She felt very left out.
Even Kaivan, who was playing gas, wasn’t just playing. Her twin brother had loved gas since he was little, and he even learned how to make gas and now had his own startup company. The company made several gas that were currently very popular with children and teenagers.
The ga Kaivan was playing at the mont was the latest ga he was developing with several of his professional employees.
Once again, the girl sighed heavily.
Should she do sothing too? But what? All she could do was sing, but she didn’t even know if she was good at singing.
Liz left the living room before she was tempted by the donuts and pizza Kaivan had bought.
"Where are you going? Don’t you want a donut? There’s a vanilla cheese donut that you like, with strawberries on top," said Kaivan.
Liz hesitated to take the donut or not.
The donuts Kaivan bought were Liz’s favorite too, they were soft donuts with delicious vanilla cream in the middle.
"Okay, I’ll take one," Liz took one of her favorite donuts.
"That’s unusual, you usually take two," replied Kaivan, who also gave Angeline a chocolate strawberry donut.
"Where are you going?" asked Angeline, when she realized that Liz was standing up, about to leave.
"I’m going to do sothing in my room," replied Liz, who hurriedly left before they could ask any further questions.
Angeline and Kaivan looked at each other, feeling that Liz was very strange.
"I don’t understand why the girls in our family like one young man, who is even very bad at understanding won’s feelings," Angelo suddenly appeared. Angeline’s younger brother was ready to try Kaivan’s new ga. But eating donuts was more important.
"Finally, soone understands my feelings too. I don’t like Riki, but I also understand why they both like him," said Kaivan.
Angeline clicked her tongue in annoyance, "I actually like n who are not easy to get, like him."
Angelo and Kaivan looked at Angeline with surprised expressions. Then Angelo said, "He’s clearly a jerk, Angeline! Wake up."
"He’s not a jerk, he’s just—"
"Just what? You can’t defend him anymore? He is a jerk!"
Liz, who heard their argunt from upstairs, just shrugged, not really caring.
There was sothing she had to do in her room at that mont.
She had to make herself proud of sothing, so she wouldn’t be compared to Angeline anymore.
Liz had to find her talent.
