Chapter 752
She couldn't wait to press.
"Which bookstores will it be sold in? I want to run over and see it the first moment!"
Kaga Reisa also nodded vigorously; she truly felt that the story Natsume Chikage wrote was very exciting.
"I-I also want to go! Want to buy a copy to support Natsume-brother!"
Natsume Chikage felt warm in his heart and explained:
"I don't fully know which bookstores will have stock. However, one thing is certain, that 'Shimizu Bookstore' near our home will definitely have it."
"You can go there and see after school tomorrow."
Natsume Ruri immediately planned.
"What about you, Brother? Will you come back and go to the bookstore with us after your competition tomorrow?"
Natsume Chikage shook his head.
"After my competition tomorrow, I might have other things to handle in the afternoon."
"I will try to come back as early as possible. If I can make it, we will go together."
The two girls said happily:
"Mm-mm! Then Brother, you have to work hard in the competition and come back early!"
"O-okay!"
At this moment.
Natsume Ruri looked up at the clock hanging on the wall, the hands quietly pointing to ten.
She remembered something and reminded:
"Brother, it's not early anymore. I've already put hot water in the bathtub before, you go take a shower first."
Natsume Chikage nodded and stood up.
"Okay, then I'll go wash first."
Natsume Ruri remembered something else and hurriedly added:
"By the way, Brother, Reisa-chan is also staying overnight at our house tonight."
Kaga Reisa lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly and explained in a small voice:
"Today Mom and Dad came back for a trip... explained some things, and then went on an urgent business trip again."
"Ruri said... since we are going to school together tomorrow, she let me stay here tonight."
Natsume Chikage, hearing this, was stunned for a moment.
In his mind, the scene of the last time Kaga Reisa stayed over, because her sleeping posture was not honest, and the next morning she almost rolled to his side, flashed by.
But thinking about it, the room is much more spacious now, and there is enough distance between the two beds.
It should... not happen again, that embarrassing situation, right?
He pressed down the subtle premonition in his heart and showed a gentle smile to Kaga Reisa.
"Of course, just treat this place as your own home."
Kaga Reisa heard his affirmative answer, felt a relief in her heart, and a faint blush appeared on her face.
"Thank you, Natsume-brother..."
Natsume Chikage soaked his whole body in the warm water of the bathtub, sighing comfortably.
He hadn't taken a bath so pleasantly for a long time.
The hot water covered his shoulders, taking away the fatigue of the day, and also making him feel the real happiness brought by the improvement of his living environment more clearly.
From the cramped three-ping snail dwelling to this ten-ping apartment, which is not luxurious but fully functional and spacious.
This change itself symbolized the meaning of all his efforts during this period.
At least, he and his sister had escaped from the bottom-level state of being stretched thin and anxious about survival at all times.
This was a solid, upward new starting point.
He summoned the attribute panel that only he could see.
That one newly acquired free attribute point was still lying there quietly.
Considering that when improving the "Spirit" attribute, it was often accompanied by a brief trance or deep sleep.
This moment was clearly not the time to use it—his sister and Kaga Reisa were both still awake, and both under the same roof.
For the sake of safety, it was better to wait until tomorrow morning.
At that time, they should still be in their dreams.
He could get up early and quietly complete the addition in the bathroom.
With his current wake-up time, it was completely in time.
After a period of time.
The night was already deep.
Natsume Chikage stood by the light switch at the door of the room.
The two girls were already lying side-by-side on the laid-out mattresses, covered with soft thin quilts.
Natsume Ruri was obviously sleepy, her eyes almost unable to open.
Kaga Reisa was still a bit awake, revealing half a small face from under the quilt, looking at him shyly.
"I'm turning off the lights," Natsume Chikage said softly.
"Mm... Brother, turn it off..." Natsume Ruri responded vaguely, her voice almost drowned in sleepiness.
Kaga Reisa also nodded gently. "Mm, good night, Natsume-brother."
Click—
Natsume Chikage pressed the switch.
The soft light disappeared instantly, and the room was shrouded in peaceful darkness.
He felt his way back to his mattress and lay down.
He took out his phone, and the screen light illuminated his handsome side profile.
He clicked on LINE and found that he had received quite a few messages.
Akita Sana, Yukimura Lingyin, Xiyuanji Qilai, Fujiwara Aoi, Kondo Miyuki, Yasui Ryoto, Araki Yua, Tsukishima Rin... the avatars all had small red dots.
Natsume Chikage first clicked on the message sent by Akita Sana.
【Akita Sana: (*? ▽`)ノノ Good evening, Natsume-kun, have you gone to sleep?】
【Natsume Chikage: Not yet, what's wrong?】
The message was replied to quickly.
【Akita Sana: 【Akita Sana: I was really happy to play games with you today, and I think you are indeed very good at playing games, Natsume-kun. You know, among the two games Street Emperor and Fist Overlord, several boys I know, especially Yamaguchi-kun and Asagiri-kun who have some strength in playing games, are not as good as you, they can't beat me, only you can.】
【Natsume Chikage: Haha, how can it be so exaggerated, perhaps they just didn't take it seriously.】
【Akita Sana: Hee hee, you are too modest, Natsume-kun. By the way, that... did your sister tell you that I plan to find time to come over and play with you again in the future?】
【Natsume Chikage: She told me.】
【Akita Sana:... You won't mind, right?】
【Natsume Chikage: Of course I don't mind. Also, I have moved to Room 102 downstairs now, remember not to go to the second floor when you come over to play games in the future.】
【Akita Sana: Σ(⊙▽⊙" Ah? Why did you suddenly move?】
Natsume Chikage explained a little.
Akita Sana was also shocked when she learned that Natsume Chikage actually had a deal with the Yutang family.
She didn't know at all how he had established a relationship with the Yutang family.
You know, in school, I don't know how many people want to establish a relationship with Yutang Zhiji and Konoe Tong.
But those two wouldn't pay attention at all.
And most of the time they wouldn't even appear at school.
If you annoy those two, it's possible they could directly expel you, or even directly mess with your family's company, all in a simple sentence.
So at school, even if most people want to latch onto the Yutang family's thigh, they have to weigh whether they really have the strength to be looked upon by the Yutang family.
If it doesn't work, it's stealing a chicken only to lose the rice.
And Natsume Chikage could actually do what everyone else couldn't?
How could this not surprise Akita Sana.
Although she was very glad that the boy she liked could be so amazing, she couldn't help but worry a little.
Fortune and misfortune depend on each other.
