Chapter 130

After all, a 20,000-yen meal, with his hourly wage of 800 yen, would take quite a few days to earn.

He pushed open the door and entered the three-mat room.

What met his eyes was his younger sister sitting at the small table watching TV.

"I'm home."

"Welcome home, brother!"

Xia Muruli looked at Xia Xia Xia Mujun as he walked over and asked curiously:

"Brother, which friend did you go out with this afternoon, and what did you do? Why are you back so late?"

Xia Xia Xia Mujun also didn't quite know how to explain what happened during that time.

The situation at the Mido family was already very complicated.

He didn't want his sister to know too much, lest she let her imagination run wild and get into trouble herself.

"Nothing much, just a senior who suddenly asked me to go eat and chat."

"I really couldn't refuse at the time, so I just went along..."

What Xia Xia Xia Mujun said was not a lie at all, but he didn't tell the whole story.

Xia Muruli suddenly realized:

"So that's how it is."

As she was speaking.

Her nose twitched slightly, then she leaned in to sniff, squinting her eyes:

"Brother, why do you smell like a woman's perfume?"

"And two kinds?"

"Could it be... are all your seniors women?"

"And what you ate, could it be sukiyaki?"

"Ruli smells beef and sukiyaki sauce!"

Xia Xia Xia Mujun broke into a cold sweat, wondering if his sister was a bit too sharp?

She could even smell that out?

"Ahem, there weren't just two girls."

"There were more than two?!"

"There was also a senior student."

"Oh oh, you almost scared me, Ruli."

"...What were you thinking just now?"

"Nothing, brother, don't worry about it." Xia Muruli smiled sweetly.

"..." Xia Xia Xia Mujun was silent for a moment, then remembered something and asked: "By the way, Ruli, what time did you and Fujiwara-san leave?"

"After dinner, the two of us walked around, and we got home around seven. And Sister Fujiwara is very kind; not only did she treat me to dinner, but she also personally sent me back. Please thank Sister Fujiwara for me later, brother."

"Mm."

Xia Muruli remembered something.

"Brother, where is your keychain?"

Xia Xia Xia Mujun took it out of his pocket.

"Here, why?"

"Give it to me."

Xia Xia Xia Mujun didn't think much and handed it over.

"Here."

Xia Muruli happily took out the two keychains given by Fujiwara Aoi and Yukimura Suzune.

She attached the one with the fox protagonist to Xia Xia Xia Mujun's keys.

And her own keychain had long since been attached with the rabbit protagonist.

Xia Muruli took out both sets of keys and said happily:

"Keychains given to me by Sister Yukimura and Sister Fujiwara."

"Might as well use them; brother and I can each use one!"

Xia Xia Xia Mujun said softly with a smile:

"Mm."

He didn't care about keychain decorations, but since his sister liked them, it didn't matter.

Xia Muruli reminded him:

"By the way, brother, the rent is due in the middle of the month."

"Your salary from the coffee shop should be coming soon, right?"

Xia Xia Xia Mujun nodded and said:

"Mm, it should be coming soon."

"I calculated it, and with the money I have now, it's definitely enough to pay the rent."

Xia Muruli breathed a sigh of relief and smiled:

"That's good."

"Are you hungry now, brother? Do you want Ruli to make you a late-night snack?"

Xia Xia Xia Mujun had just eaten wildly with Konoe Hitomi, and he was really full now, so he decided against it.

"No, brother isn't hungry; I'm planning to take a shower and get ready to sleep."

"Mm-hmm."

After coming out of the shower.

Xia Muruli leaned against the table, supporting her face with both hands, watching TV quietly.

Xia Xia Xia Mujun sat beside her, took out his phone, and started writing the novel "Snow Country."

He planned to take advantage of the time before sleep to write a little bit.

After Xia Muruli noticed Xia Xia Xia Mujun's actions, she asked in surprise:

"Brother, are you still writing a novel now?"

Xia Xia Xia Mujun nodded and said:

"Mm, there isn't much money at home now."

"I'm idle at night anyway, so I might as well write a bit."

Although Xia Muruli knew her brother's grades weren't great and he had no talent in other areas.

She really hadn't expected her brother to have talent in writing novels.

He actually managed to do something her literary female classmate couldn't do.

You know, when Dad was around, brother had never shown any talent, which was why she was so surprised.

But that's true.

Dad at the time never let brother work on writing novels.

Since brother had now discovered his talent for writing novels, Xia Muruli naturally supported him a million percent!

Because as long as brother's novel could be accepted, he would definitely be able to earn some money.

And publishing a novel, as long as someone bought a copy, brother could earn the money for that copy.

A steady stream.

Over time, the income would be quite considerable.

Although there certainly wouldn't be big money.

But small amounts accumulated would definitely make the family less strained.

Thinking of this.

Xia Muruli was a bit curious if the cross-review from the editor had passed, and asked:

"By the way, brother, did the editor contact you, saying the cross-review passed and asking you to go sign a contract or something?"

Xia Xia Xia Mujun said without turning his head:

"Yes, he asked me to go over tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Xia Muruli excitedly rolled twice on the tatami, came to Xia Xia Xia Mujun's knees, and looked up at him:

"Brother is amazing, now our family really has money!"

Natsume Chikage was stunned for a moment, then smiled and ruffled her hair:

"Mm, soon we won't have to be so frugal."
