Chapter 116

"Of course, I promised you before that I'd let you see it when I finished. But wait a moment, let me finish washing this school uniform."

"Yes, yes... No! Brother!! Didn't I say I'd wash the clothes!"

"It's just once or twice, it's nothing."

"No! If I see you washing clothes again, Ruri will really be angry!"

"..."

Xia Xia Xia Mujun was helpless and couldn't say anything more.

As for washing the school uniform this time, it was actually because he had shed a lot of dead skin and sweat after improving his physique.

So he wanted to wash it off quickly.

Xia Xia Xia Mujun wrung out the washed school uniform, turned around, and stood up, ready to hang the clothes.

"Move aside, brother is going to hang the clothes."

However, when he turned back.

Ruri Natsume saw the current Xia Xia Xia Mujun.

Her pupils shrank, her small mouth opened clearly, and she quickly grabbed Xia Xia Xia Mujun.

"Brother..."

"What's wrong?"

"Brother!"

"What exactly is wrong?!"

"Brother!!"

"So what exactly is the matter?!"

Ruri Natsume's face flushed, a little excited:

"Brother, what did you do? Why does Ruri feel you look much better than before? Your skin seems to have improved a lot too?"

Xia Xia Xia Mujun was silent for a while and could only bluff:

"Didn't do anything."

"Just went for a run today, sweated, and came back to take a shower."

"It's normal for my face to be cleaner after a shower..."

As he spoke.

He felt a little guilty, walked away from his sister, and took the clothes to hang.

And Ruri Natsume, after her brother finished hanging the clothes, still couldn't help but pull him to look carefully.

She found that Xia Xia Xia Mujun's skin after the shower was exceptionally smooth and delicate, even much better than her own skin.

She couldn't help but puff out her cheeks and mutter in a low voice:

"Why is your skin still so good when you never use skincare products?"

Xia Xia Xia Mujun coughed twice:

"Go to bed early and wake up early, and your skin will naturally be good."

Ruri Natsume opened her eyes wide and said angrily:

"Brother, you usually go to bed after twelve, and I go to bed around ten-thirty!"

"Who is the one going to bed early and waking up early?!"

Xia Xia Xia Mujun was stunned for a moment, then laughed it off:

"Exercise... yes, it's exercise!"

"Your brother has been exercising these days, that's why."

However, when he said this, he muttered in his heart: How does Ruri know what time I go to bed?

Ruri Natsume blinked:

"Really?"

Xia Xia Xia Mujun nodded:

"Yes, yes, really."

"Didn't they say that exercise makes the skin look healthy and the whole person look younger?"

Ruri Natsume thought about it and felt it made sense.

Her brother rarely exercised before.

Now that he started exercising, it's normal for his skin to improve.

But her brother was already very handsome.

Now after exercising, he feels even more handsome than before.

Ruri muttered in her heart: She clearly observed her brother every day.

This time after her brother took a shower, she realized he became more handsome after exercising?

She found out too late!!

This kind of mistake is simply a dereliction of duty for her as a sister!!!

"Ruri, it's already five o'clock, let's get ready and go out."

"Brother, are we eating at home before going out today?"

Xia Xia Xia Mujun thought about it and smiled:

"My novel was approved today, I guess I'll have royalties next month, I'm in a good mood, let's go out and eat ramen!"

"(〃'▽'〃) Yes, yes, then Ruri will read your novel after we come back!"

Ruri Natsume happily changed into her best-looking blue and white long dress, slung her cute little bag, and then left the three-mat room with Xia Xia Xia Mujun.

In the ramen shop.

Xia Xia Xia Mujun sprinkled a little pepper on the ramen.

[Cooking successful, ramen flavor increased by 20%!]

Seeing this effect.

He couldn't help but be a little confused, thinking, is the effect of this "Oden Immortal's Damaged Soup Spoon" equipment conceptual?

How come no matter what dish it is, as long as he moves it, the flavor increases?

Probably really is.

Xia Xia Xia Mujun dripped a little pepper into his sister's ramen.

[Cooking successful, ramen flavor increased by 20%!]

"Ruri, the ramen here is better with a little pepper."

"Really?"

Ruri Natsume had been to this shop before, how did she not know about this?

She picked up her chopsticks and picked up the ramen half-believing, then opened her eyes wide and covered her small mouth.

"Delicious! Brother, how did you find out?"

"A friend told me."

"What's his name?"

"Panel... no, it's called A-Mian."

"A-Mian? What a strange name."

While the two were eating ramen, Ruri Natsume was still very concerned about Xia Xia Xia Mujun's novel being approved.

"Brother, after the novel is approved, you don't need to pay any money to put it on the shelves, right?"

"No, the publishing house handles all that. After the novel is approved, wait for the editorial department to notify you to sign the contract, and then you can ignore everything and leave it to them."

"I see... but, but did they say how many copies they expect to sell?"

"This, who can say for sure?"

"That's true..."

"Why ask this?"

"Ruri was thinking, if your novel can make money, we won't have to live so tightly. And your tuition, maybe we won't have to go to the bank to sign a student loan. After all, the bank's student loan interest is quite high..."

"Don't worry, it will definitely make money, then brother will take Ruri to eat and drink well every day!"

"(*^▽^*) Yes, yes!"

Although Ruri Natsume hadn't read the novel her brother wrote yet, and didn't understand the novel industry.

But she was willing to believe her brother.

Because her brother is the brother she likes the most!

Shibuya streets.

Neon lights flowed.

Pedestrians came and went in a hurry.

Among them were many foreign tourists.

Even some foreign female tourists were attracted by Xia Xia Xia Mujun, who was standing alone not far away, with looks of amazement in their eyes.

There were even young and beautiful foreign blonde tourists who took the initiative to come forward and ask for contact information using mobile phone translation.

But they were all refused by Xia Xia Xia Mujun with a shake of his head.

Ruri Natsume, who had just returned from the bathroom, saw this scene, her fair cheeks puffed up slightly, and she quickly ran to Xia Xia Xia Mujun's side and pulled him away.

To avoid being picked up by other girls again.

"Brother, is there anywhere you want to go?"

"No, you decide."

"Then Ruri wants to go to the Hachiko Statue, many of my friends have been taking photos and checking in there recently, I want to go too!"

"Okay, let's go."

Soon.

Ruri Natsume and Xia Xia Xia Mujun arrived at the Hachiko Statue.

There were many people checking in and taking photos here.

Many of them were young girls, especially high school girls.

They especially liked to come here in groups to hang out and check in.

Just as he walked here, Xia Xia Xia Mujun's gaze couldn't help but look at the Hachiko Statue, finding that this statue was not special equipment.

Seeing this, he wasn't disappointed, but became more curious about the origin of special equipment.

He had previously speculated that the equipment might be produced by someone's strong longing.

Now it seems, that's not the case?

Because if that were true, the Hachiko Statue should be special equipment.

Even museum collections, old school items, and various things in life should have a lot of special equipment.

But Xia Xia Xia Mujun had been in Tokyo for almost a month and had only seen a few pieces of special equipment.

In this way, the appearance of special equipment does not seem to stem from someone's intense emotions or thoughts.

Then where did it come from?

Can't figure it out...

Xia Xia Xia Mujun still had no clue, only feeling that after collecting more special equipment, he might find clues.

And just as Ruri Natsume was pulling Xia Xia Xia Mujun to take photos—

In a corner where no one noticed.

The poker-faced girl Hitomi Konoe was holding a telephoto camera, secretly filming Xia Xia Xia Mujun and Ruri Natsume shopping.
