Chapter 220

"Of course, I promised you before that I would let you see it when I finished writing. But wait for me, I'll finish washing this school uniform."

"Yes... no! Brother!! Didn't I say let me 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!"

"..."

Natsume Chikage 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.

Natsume Chikage wrung out the washed school uniform, turned and stood up, preparing to hang the clothes.

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

However, when he turned back.

Natsume Ruri saw Natsume Chikage now.

Her pupils shrank, her small mouth was clearly open, and she hurriedly grabbed Natsume Chikage.

"Brother..."

"What's wrong?"

"Brother!"

"What's wrong?"

"Brother!!"

"So what exactly is the matter?!"

Natsume Ruri's face flushed, a little excited:

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

Natsume Chikage was silent for a while, and could only fool her:

"Didn't do anything."

"Just went for a run today, sweated, and took a shower when I got back."

"It's normal 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 Natsume Ruri, after her brother finished hanging the clothes, couldn't help but pull him to look carefully.

She found that Natsume Chikage'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 does brother never use skincare products, but his skin can still be so good?"

Natsume Chikage coughed twice:

"Early to bed and early to rise, skin is naturally good."

Natsume Ruri widened her eyes and said angrily:

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

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

Natsume Chikage was stunned for a moment, then laughed it off:

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

"Your brother has been exercising these past few days, that's why it's like this."

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

Natsume Ruri blinked:

"Really?"

Natsume Chikage nodded:

"Yes, yes, really."

"Isn't it said that exercise makes the skin look healthy and the whole person look younger?"

Natsume Ruri thought about it and felt it made sense.

Her brother really 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?

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, do we have to eat at home before going out today?"

Natsume Chikage thought about it and laughed:

"Today my novel was approved, 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!"

Natsume Ruri happily put on her best-looking blue and white long dress, carried her cute little bag, and then left the three-mat room with Natsume Chikage.

In the ramen shop.

Natsume Chikage 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 that the effect of his "Oden Immortal's Damaged Soup Spoon" equipment was conceptual?

How come no matter what kind of cooking, as long as he moves it, the flavor can be improved?

It probably really is.

Natsume Chikage dripped some pepper into his sister's ramen.

【Cooking successful, ramen flavor increased by 20%!】

"Ruri, this shop's ramen is better with a little pepper."

"Is it?"

Natsume Ruri had also been to this shop to eat before, how did she not know about this.

She picked up her chopsticks with half-belief and picked up the ramen, then widened her eyes 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, Natsume Ruri was still very concerned about Natsume Chikage's novel being approved.

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

"No, those are all handled by the publishing house. After the novel is approved, wait for the editorial department to notify the signing, 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 is thinking, if your novel can make money, we don't have to live so tightly. And your tuition, maybe you don't have to go to the bank to sign for 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 delicious food every day!"

"(*^▽^*) Yes, yes!"

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