"Ah, it's been a long time since I played with you. Let's finish the main storyline of "Heroic Warriors" tonight!"

After clearing another level, Ren Suo, who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, drank a sip of juice and smiled happily.

In the past few months, he bought a Hell 4 Pro game console and a few games, but he hasn't played them. This time when his sister came, Ren Suo was also interested and played games with his sister for an afternoon.

This feeling of not having to consider the consequences, enjoying the game wholeheartedly, and being able to make the game character invincible by playing a few random moves, made Ren Suo's dry wooden brain secrete dopamine, and he enjoyed the long-lost fun of the game.

Even if Ren Suo himself didn't realize it, he had already treated the Small World Game Console as a job.

Of course, he still feels the pleasure of exploration and immersion when playing games, but because the game in the small world is of great importance, Ren Suo has to pay full attention to the game almost all the time, for fear that his operational errors will lead to missing out on achievements and reducing the chance of passing the level.

There was nothing wrong with playing games seriously, but having to do so all the time made Ren Suo a little nervous.

Now that he could play a lawn mowing game with his sister that had beautiful graphics and cool special effects, Ren Suo could completely relax.

"Brother, you are such a noob. You have died so many times. This is my first time playing and I have to save you."

"Tsk, this is my first time playing this too. Come again, I'll show you what real skills are."

"Aren't we going to Sister Dong's house for dinner?" Ren Xingmei said with a smile, "Before I came here, my mom said that you must have instant noodles for takeout every day, but I didn't expect you to have a small kitchen!"

Ren Suo stared at the screen and said, "Ah, it's a rare opportunity for you to come to Lianjiang, and I want to take you to eat some delicious food."

"But I haven't enjoyed myself much in Lianjiang in the past few years. I just eat in the school cafeteria or have a bowl of noodles."

"Brother, you've been working hard too." Ren Xingmei complimented Ren Suo, "Did you go to bed very late last night?"

Ren Suo sighed: "Yeah, I didn't go to bed until seven last night."

"So you got up early today?"

"No, I was woken up by the alarm clock during lunch."

After completing "The Magician Under the World Tree", Ren Suo spent the next whole day practicing, completely digesting the last energy of the "Lotus Jade Pendant", and then slowly studied the bond system. After all, the bond system is here and will not go away, and there is no telling when the effect of the "Lotus Jade Pendant" will dissipate.

Ren Xingmei spent 0.3 seconds to do the mental calculation: 19:00~12:00 (1) = 17 hours.

(This guy went to college and turned back into a baby...?)

"Then let's go." Ren Suo stretched to get his keys and phone, and walked to the door first. "You don't need to wear anything."

"But... Brother, you're going there in slippers like this? Aren't you going to Sister Dong's house?" Ren Xingmei was shocked when she saw Ren Suo wearing a hat, a white T-shirt, beach pants and flip-flops.

"What else?"

…

…

"welcome."

Gu Yueyan opened the door with a smile on her face - if it was just Ren Suo, she would probably just see a sour face - her eyes lit up and she said, "Hey? Sister Xingmei, you're so cute."

Although Ren Xingmei was still wearing men's clothes, she washed her hair and fixed her hairstyle before coming out. In addition, next to her was Ren Suo, who was wearing beach pants and slippers, which instantly highlighted her feminine beauty.

"Thank you, but don't call me sister. I'm about the same age as you. Just call me Little Star." Ren Xingmei walked over and held Gu Yueyan's hand and said with a smile, "You make it sound like I'm older than you."

"No, I just finished my second year of high school, and you're already going to college." Gu Yueyan smiled, "One year older is still older."

(Could it be that this little girl just likes that silly guy?)

(Could this tomboy be a brother complex?)

Ren Suo looked at Gu Yueyan and Ren Xingmei getting familiar with each other with confusion. When he saw Lin Xianyu there, he greeted her and asked, "Are you coming to eat with me today?"

"Brother Ren, you used the word 'also' really well."

Lin Xianyu glanced at Gu Yueyan and Ren Xingmei who were having an intimate conversation, and asked curiously, "Brother Ren, are you very familiar with your sister? Generally speaking, shouldn't siblings of this age be more distant?"

"Hmm? Not bad, right?" Ren Suo sat down and said, "We've been playing since we were little. When we had handheld game consoles, my sister and I would play online with one each. Later, when we got a computer, she insisted on playing games that two people could play together, such as Monopoly. After high school, I only had holidays, but I basically played multiplayer games like League of Legends with her."

"But I'm a noob. I've always been at Silver level. But she's already reached Diamond level, and she insisted on taking me flying."

Lin Xianyu exclaimed: "Xiao Xingxing is a master at games!"

“Great!” Ren Suo praised, and turned to look at Lin Xianyu: “By the way, Xiaoyu, is there anything I can help you with?”

"What can I do with your help?" Lin Xianyu asked curiously.

Ren Suo was stuck for a moment, thinking about what difficulties a high school girl might have. However, he had only helped Gu Yueyan before, so he said, "For example, I could accompany you to go somewhere to play, etc...."

(Is this... another way of saying date?) Noticing Gu Yueyan's gaze, Lin Xianyu quickly waved her hands: “No no no no no—I won’t fall for your trick!”

Huh? Ren Suo looked confused, but he couldn't do anything if Lin Xianyu didn't want to - a bond couldn't be established by force, it had to be something both parties were willing to do.

Ren Suo didn't mind this, after all, the bond system had just been acquired, and he had plenty of time to study it. And as far as the content of the bond system was concerned, Ren Suo didn't need to cast a wide net, a few higher-level bonds were enough for him.

The more bonds he has, the more time he has to spend on improving the bond level. However, Ren Suo still needs to practice, play games, and write papers, so he doesn't have so much time for socializing.

…

…

The food was served. This was a rare gathering of so many people: Ren Suo, Ren Xingmei, Lin Xianyu, Gu Yueyan, and Dong Chengling.

Originally, Ren Suo wanted to take his sister out for dinner, but before Dong Chengling left, he asked, "Will you come for dinner tonight?" Ren Xingmei quickly realized something and insisted on coming to Dong Chengling's house for dinner with Ren Suo, and even said she would cook for him herself.

"I can only cook some home-cooked meals. I don't know if they are delicious... I am not very good at cooking~~" Ren Xingmei said with a smile.

Gu Yueyan and the others took a bite and had to admit - it was delicious!

"It tastes better than what Teacher Dong made!" Lin Xianyu added in time!

"Brother, what do you think? If I have this cooking skill, can I be your girlfriend?" Ren Xingmei asked happily - she learned to cook whenever she had time, and her cooking taste was even better than her mother's. Wouldn't she capture Ren Suo's stomach now?

Ren Suo smacked his lips. The bond ability of 'Insight into the World' improved his sense of taste a lot. "Hmm, too sweet. Add one gram less sugar."

Ren Xingmei narrowed her eyes: I didn’t ask you to make suggestions!

Having been a class monitor for so many years, Gu Yueyan could no longer sense the hostility in Ren Xingmei's words, and immediately changed the subject: "Sister Xing, didn't you just finish the college entrance examination? How many points did you get?"

"I performed normally this time. I'm basically satisfied." Ren Xingmei said, "It was only 91 points higher than the first-tier line, ranking ninth in the whole school."

Gu Yueyan pulled the corner of his mouth and continued to change the subject: "You must be studying very hard, right? Do you have any hobbies?"

"I don't have any hobbies. Apart from playing games with my brother, I also won first place in a campus singing competition playing the electric guitar. I also contribute articles to newspapers and magazines like Readers to earn some royalties in my spare time. I also worked as a subway volunteer for a few days before coming here." Ren Xingmei said with a cheerful smile.

Lin Xianyu was shocked: "Cooking, studying, music, literature, and you're cute... Are you really brother and sister?"

"Of course!" Ren Suo put his face close to Ren Xingmei, "Do we look alike?"

"Yeah, they all have a pair of eyes."

"Yes, and they all have a nose."

Gu Yueyan and Lin Xianyu came to this conclusion after careful observation and serious argumentation.

“Shouldn’t the sister be cute and the brother be handsome?” Ren Suo curled his lips.

At this time, Ren Xingmei hugged Ren Suo's arm and said with a smile: "In my eyes, brother is the most handsome and outstanding!"

Ren Xingmei thought to herself: (So you should all kneel down in shame!)

"Sister Xing, how long do you plan to stay here?" Gu Yueyan suddenly changed the subject: "You should have a lot of activities during your summer vacation, right?"

"You can just call me Little Star - I plan to stay for a month or two. Anyway, I have finished my exams and have a lot of free time during the summer vacation." Ren Xingmei laughed and replied, "I will play with my brother these days."

One or two months?

Dong Chengling looked normal, but Gu Yueyan and Lin Xianyu's expressions changed slightly. Ren Xingmei saw it and smiled secretly - of course she wouldn't really stay that long. Anyway, if Ren Suo went out on a date, she would find a way to get involved so that they wouldn't have to make trouble and ruin the atmosphere.

When they lose their patience with Ren Suo, Ren Xingmei will naturally be able to go home with a winner's smile and treasures!

"Brother, what do you think--"

Ren Xingmei turned her head and saw Ren Suo looking at her with his arms crossed.

"No."
