Chapter 83

Xia Xia Xia Mujun explained:

"Remember that female colleague of mine you saw when you were waiting for me near the coffee shop after work?"

"Her friend had some extra free movie tickets, so she said she'd treat us to go see it together."

"As for me, it doesn't really matter whether I see it or not."

"If you want to go, we'll go together; if you don't, then forget it."

Hearing this, Xia Mururi instantly understood the situation; her cheeks puffed up visibly, and she felt a bit moody.

When she saw that Fujiwara Aoi back then, she knew for sure that this girl was coveting her brother!

Now she was even taking the initiative to invite her brother to a movie, and bringing her along too?

No matter how she looked at it, it was a trap!

Only her idiot brother would believe that Fujiwara Aoi just happened to get three movie tickets by coincidence!!

Xia Xia Xia Mujun pressed:

"Are you going?"

Ruri said, pouting:

"I'm going!"

"What time is it this weekend?"

Xia Xia Xia Mujun thought for a moment and said:

"We're both on the morning shift this weekend."

"It should be after three or four o'clock."

Upon hearing this, Ruri fell into deep thought for a long time.

Xia Xia Xia Mujun, however, didn't think much of it and was simply enjoying his late-night snack.

He really liked the egg fried rice his sister made.

But as for the miso soup and such, it wasn't that his sister didn't make it well.

He just wasn't used to drinking miso soup; apart from being salty, he couldn't taste anything special about it...

Thinking this, Xia Xia Xia Mujun suddenly felt a bit nostalgic for the delicious soups he drank before he transmigrated.

Now that he had acquired the equipment for cooking, it wouldn't be bad to cook some authentic soup for his sister when he had time, to help her get more nutrition so she could grow up quickly.

Late at night.

"Brother, I'm turning off the lights."

"Mm... go ahead, Brother."

Lying on the bed, Xia Mururi rubbed her eyes, feeling drowsy.

Click—

The room plunged into darkness.

Xia Mururi had already fallen peacefully asleep on the side.

Xia Xia Xia Mujun felt his way back to his own bed in the dark.

Like before, he didn't rush to sleep, but took out his phone, intending to write.

Just as he opened it.

He discovered that Fujiwara Aoi had sent a message around 10:30.

[Fujiwara Aoi: Xia Xia Xia Mujun, about the movie, what did your sister say? Is she free?]

[Xia Xia Xia Mujun: Yes, she said it's fine. She wants to ask what time we're meeting this weekend?]

[Fujiwara Aoi: (〃'▽'〃) Our morning shift ends at 3. The movie starts around 4, so shall we meet your sister at the cinema around 3:30?]

[Xia Xia Xia Mujun: That works.]

[Fujiwara Aoi: ?(?>?

After replying.

After replying.

Xia Xia Xia Mujun wrote with peace of mind until around twelve o'clock, when he prepared to sleep.

Before sleeping.

Xia Xia Xia Mujun checked the word count of his novel.

He found that he was still about 15,000 words short.

If he worked a little harder tomorrow and the day after, he would definitely be able to finish it.

Thinking this, he could indeed book an editor in advance.

Xia Xia Xia Mujun knew that publishers' editors were actually quite busy.

If you don't book an appointment and just show up, they won't necessarily pay attention to you.

And booking also depends on whether they have time.

Because there are actually quite a lot of people submitting manuscripts.

Thinking this, Xia Xia Xia Mujun planned to book two days in advance.

He tapped on his phone, looking for a suitable publisher.

Soon.

Xia Xia Xia Mujun found a place called Midnight Library.

This Midnight Library was said to be the preferred place for mystery and suspense novelists, and it had the support of many mystery and suspense readers in Japan.

And this publisher happened to be in Shibuya.

Xia Xia Xia Mujun thought about convenience and decided to book an editor from this publisher.

He flipped through it a little.

He found that many editors were already fully booked for Saturday afternoon.

But fortunately, Xia Xia Xia Mujun finally found an editor who wasn't fully booked.

After the booking was successful.

Xia Xia Xia Mujun went to sleep peacefully.

The next day.

Subway platform.

Xia Xia Xia Mujun and Xia Mururi were waiting for the train here as usual.

In the gaps between writing, Xia Xia Xia Mujun looked around at the pedestrians or other students.

He was trying to find if there were any special equipment.

But it was a pity that he didn't encounter a single one...

Xia Xia Xia Mujun pondered that he still had to start with the special equipment he had encountered before.

Otherwise, he would have to continue enduring the trouble caused by the 'delay'.

Xia Xia Xia Mujun's gaze turned to the bracelet on Xia Mururi's hand that was emitting an unusual glow.

It was a pity that to obtain these 'special equipment', the person involved must be willing to transfer ownership; he couldn't take shortcuts.

Otherwise, Xia Xia Xia Mujun would have already obtained this bracelet.

However, he had thought of a way to obtain it in the past few days.

As for now, the time wasn't right.

He would wait until the time came to say it.

The train moved along the tracks, making a sound as it traveled from far to near, and soon stopped in front of the platform.

Hearing the sound, Xia Mururi said in surprise:

"Brother's train came early again today."

Xia Xia Xia Mujun rubbed her little head and urged:

"Then I'll go first. If anything happens, remember to call me."

Xia Mururi said happily:

"Mm-hmm, bye-bye, Brother."

Xia Xia Xia Mujun waved his hand and turned to enter the train.

After entering.

There were still no empty seats today.

There wasn't much standing room either.

Xia Xia Xia Mujun scanned the area, and his gaze immediately met Yukimura Suzune's, who happened to look up, and he found that there was an empty seat near her.

Yukimura Suzune paused, wanting to look away, but saw Xia Xia Xia Mujun walking straight towards her.

"Good morning, Yukimura-san."

"Morning..."

After greeting her, Xia Xia Xia Mujun didn't intend to say anything else, but took out his phone and started writing.

Seeing this, Yukimura Suzune was slightly silent, then continued to look down at her literary novel.

Soon.

The train arrived at Hibiya Station.

A large number of students left the carriage and headed to school.

Yukimura Suzune glanced at Xia Xia Xia Mujun on the side, her pace paused slightly, but she still chose to leave alone.

Xia Xia Xia Mujun was used to going to and from school alone, and he walked on the way back to school with the flow of students.

On the way.

Xia Xia Xia Mujun noticed that there were quite a lot of vehicles entering the school today.

And just as he was about to step into the campus.

He heard a few disciplinary committee members whispering at the gate.

"Did you hear? It seems Student Council President Mido is finally coming back today!"

"Really? Hasn't she not been back since the start of the semester? Why is she suddenly coming back now?"

"Today is the opening ceremony. No matter what, she's the student council president, so she has to go on stage to speak, right?"

"I don't think so. President Mido hasn't been back for the past few days, and Vice President Hanyu has basically been handling the opening ceremony matters."

"I think so too."

"Maybe it's a good thing she doesn't come back. After all, President Mido is still very scary..."

"Shh, are you crazy?! Keep your voice down, don't let it reach President Mido's ears!"

"Exactly, exactly!"

Hearing this, Xia Xia Xia Mujun remembered that today was Friday and the opening ceremony was to be held.

However, hearing the surname Mido, he recalled Aunt Miyuki saying that the last 'chess-related relic' seemed to be at the Mido family's place.

Could it be that the one Aunt Miyuki mentioned was Student Council President Mido's family?

It shouldn't be such a coincidence...

But it didn't matter whether it was or not.

Anyway, Xia Xia Xia Mujun currently planned to give up on that chess relic; the difficulty of obtaining it was too high, and there was no need to struggle with it.

He already had a bunch of them he hadn't obtained, so why bother.
