"Well, I still have to ask you first, brother... have you awakened some dirty abilities?"
Ren Xingmei looked at the four graceful and distinctive girls in front of her, chatting and shopping in the aisle of the mall. At least 50 people turned their heads to look at them. The other 50 were all low-key people playing with their phones.
"What kind of dirty awakening ability?" Ren Suo asked doubtfully.
"It's hypnosis, time stop, sensory stimulation, puppetry, and charm..."
Ren Suo glanced at his sister intriguingly, thought for half a minute and said, "My old computer should have been formatted and partitioned, and there should be no traces at all before I gave it to you... Could it be the cabinet where I put the notebooks? But I remember locking it!"
Ren Xingmei blinked: "What's locked?"
"The cabinet of my computer desk has a lock."
"No." Ren Xingmei shook her head: "You remembered it wrong."
“No, no?” Ren Suo was at a loss: “I remember I locked it tightly the last time I went home…”
"You've been so busy at work that your memory is confused. You need to have a good rest." Ren Xingmei quickly brought the topic back to the topic: "So, have you awakened some abilities that girls like you?"
"If there was, now it wouldn't be you standing next to me, but your sister-in-law." Ren Suo said while picking his nose.
(No? That’s a little hard to explain this scene…)
Ren Xingmei looked at the team in front of her, which consisted of the proud and beautiful female captain of the Countermeasures Bureau, the calm and tranquil female teacher of the academy, the female high school student with long black hair and the female high school student full of energy, and she always felt that something was wrong.
However, Ren Xingmei's sense of crisis is getting stronger and stronger: the female captain of the Countermeasures Bureau looks very fashionable. If she becomes the girlfriend of the stupid brother, she will definitely drain his wallet;
The female teacher didn't have much desire for material things, but Ren Xingmei felt that she had a strong desire for control, and the idiot brother would definitely hand over the financial power directly to her;
Long black straight hair and full of energy seem to be relatively safe, but Ren Xingmei is also a high school girl. She has seen too many girls' growing material desires in order to compete with each other and she feels uneasy.
(For her brother's wallet!) Ren Xingmei was on high alert and stayed close to Ren Suo to prevent Ren Suo from having any sparks with some girl during this period of time - Ren Xingmei estimated that after Ren Suo went out today, he would not want to go out again for the next two months.
In Ren Suo's words, "Young people go out shopping, singing karaoke, partying, and going to bars, and then when they get home they realize that it's better to stay at home."
As long as this day comes, Ren Xingmei can guarantee the safety of Ren Suo's wallet!
"But I don't know what to buy like this." Lin Xianyu turned to Ren Xingmei and asked, "Is there anything that Xiao Xingxing likes?"
Qiao Muyi smiled and said, "Asking the person himself is cheating. The first point of this game is to kill Ren Suo, and the second point is to guess what Xiao Xingxing likes."
"Then... I should ask Brother Ren not to cheat, right?" Lin Xianyu's mind was still quite normal when he was not eating.
Qiao Muyi: "Of course, Ren Suo is also a participant, and he has to buy a gift too."
Lin Xianyu turned around and looked at Ren Suo: "Brother Ren, what snacks do you think your sister likes to eat?"
Ren Suo: "Hmm... Matcha cookies like Snow Lover?"
Gu Yueyan: "So what does she like to do to pass the time?"
Ren Suo: “Let’s play games.”
Qiao Muyi: "Xiao Xingxing, do you have a boy you like?"
Ren Suo: “No.”
Everyone turned to look at Ren Xingmei: "Is your brother right?"
Ren Xingmei smiled faintly: "Isn't it revealed if I said it? But, you are worthy of being my brother."
(None of them are correct.)
(I don’t like eating matcha cookies, I only eat them when my friend gives them to me as souvenirs.)
(I don’t usually play games, watching TV series is the best way to kill time.)
"Ah," Qiao Muyi suddenly said, "Ren Suo, go find someone to play with. We'll call you when we've chosen one."
Ren Suo looked around and found that there was a clothing store in front. Although he didn't have a girlfriend, Ren Suo had heard how long it took for ladies to choose and change clothes, so he naturally accepted Qiao Muyi's favor and quickly went to stroll somewhere else.
"Brother——" Ren Xingmei quickly stretched out her hand, trying to keep Ren Suo.
"Ignore him. You can tell from the way he's dressed that he has an extreme taste for beauty. He can't help you!" Qiao Muyi and others worked together to pull Ren Xingmei away.
Ren Suo was not interested in buying anything, but he hadn't eaten snacks like octopus balls, grilled squid, and oden for a long time. The cafeteria didn't have these kinds of things, so when he smelled the fragrant smell, Ren Suo headed straight for the snack street.
After eating and drinking, Ren Suo looked at the time and saw that it was almost time, so he returned to the mall.
"ah!"
"careful!"
There were exclamations and screams coming from the escalator in front of him, and Ren Suo's attention was drawn to it. As a good citizen, he decided to go over and take a look at the excitement.
——————
"Xiao Xingxing, you have a great figure. Maybe you can be a model with some training. Why do you wear men's clothes?" Qiao Muyi put her arm around Ren Xingmei's shoulder and smiled at her in the mirror.
Today, Ren Xingmei still went out wearing men's clothes.
"I'm used to it." Ren Xingmei said uncomfortably.
"Do you think this pleated skirt is pretty?"
"I think it would look better if the color was changed to jasmine white."
"Sunflower yellow is nice, too."
"Put on white stockings. It's too inappropriate to wear flat shoes. You need to change your shoes too."
"And the hat!"
When it comes to choosing clothes, even Dong Chengling couldn't help but give a suggestion or two. Ren Xingmei wanted to refuse, but it was hard to refuse such a kind invitation, so she changed her clothes reluctantly and came out.
She was greeted by four pairs of eyes filled with surprise and admiration.
Qiao Muyi pulled her in front of the mirror: "Look, who is that cute girl in the mirror?"
Ren Xingmei was stunned.
The girl in the mirror was wearing a white and pink lace skirt that just reached her knees. Her long and slender legs extended from the skirt and were covered with white stockings and red shoes. She was wearing a white sun hat and her skin was as white as cream and rosy.
"Isn't it beautiful? Very cute?" Qiao Muyi put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Just wear it like this and scare your brother. Your brother doesn't have to pay for it. I'll give you this dress—"
"don't want!"
The others were slightly startled. Ren Xingmei, realizing that she was too emotional, immediately calmed down, forced a smile and said, "I don't like this kind of clothes... No need to buy it, I want to change it back." After that, she immediately went back to the changing room.
Taking advantage of this time, Gu Yueyan walked to Qiao Muyi, pulled her to the other side and pretended to look at clothes, and asked in a low voice: "Sister Qiao, why are you here?"
Qiao Muyi naturally didn't say that she was here to watch the show: "Didn't you say that Ren Suo's sister is very strange, and might be a brother-confused sister who will get in your way? I came here specially to take a look."
"Well, it doesn't hinder me..." Gu Yueyan was a little embarrassed.
"Don't worry, I will help you. I am your love consultant!" Qiao Muyi patted his chest and said, "Trust me!"
Gu Yueyan felt relieved and really went to look at clothes.
At this time, Qiao Muyi turned around and walked towards Dong Chengling who was looking at clothes in the men's clothing area, and asked in a low voice: "Chengling, how are you doing recently?"
"The training went smoothly." Dong Chengling said calmly, "The enchantment of the spiritual energy storage device also went smoothly."
"Of course I won't ask you these questions," Qiao Muyi held Dong Chengling's hand, "I'm asking if your relationship is going well."
Dong Chengling stopped talking.
"You probably seldom talked to boys before, right? You spent most of your time in middle school, high school, and college alone, enjoying solitude, right?" Qiao Muyi said, "You look like someone with great perseverance."
Dong Chengling nodded.
"If you have any problems with your relationship, just come to me and I will help you. Just think of me as your love consultant!" Qiao Muyi patted his chest and said, "Trust me!"
…
…
After coming out of the clothing store area, Dong Chengling called Ren Suo and shook his head: "He didn't answer."
Ren Xingmei and the others felt strange, but they were not panicking. After all, Ren Suo would not get lost in the shopping mall. Qiao Muyi said, "Walk and make a phone call at the same time, maybe we can run into him. If we don't find him after ten minutes, come back here and see if he is waiting here."
"Maybe he didn't bother to go back home." Gu Yueyan said, looking at the ceiling.
"He is not that kind of person." Dong Chengling said lightly.
Everyone wandered around the mall, looking for Ren Suo, and soon found him a little way ahead of the snack street—Ren Suo was sitting on the side of the road with a little girl, the little girl was playing with her phone, and Ren Suo was touching the little girl's body with his hands...
Shocked, Lin Xianyu took out his cell phone first and pressed '1' '1' '0': "I'll find a wild policeman first..."
"Wait a minute," Gu Yueyan said quickly, "This is in public. Even if Ren Suo is crazy, he can't do this!"
When they walked over, they found that Ren Suo's hands were glowing white, and the little girl had severe scratches on her limbs and face, which looked very painful. However, the little girl held the phone in both hands, staring at the screen intently, and although there were tears on her face, she didn't cry.
"Have you finished shopping?" Ren Suo turned around and saw Qiao Muyi and the others. He said, "When I was about to go back to wait for you, I saw this little girl fell down the escalator and was crying loudly. Her parents were not around, so I quickly took her away to heal her."
"Why didn't you answer the phone?" Gu Yueyan asked.
"Phone?" Ren Suo was stunned for a moment, then he looked at the little girl's phone and suddenly realized, "My phone has a game mode. When I'm playing games, I can directly prevent interruptions and won't be notified of incoming calls until I exit the game."
"She suffered a lot of injuries, and I couldn't heal them all at once, so I gave her a phone to play with so she could forget the pain and play games."
Qiao Muyi immediately said, "I'll ask the staff to make an announcement in the mall, notifying the girl's parents to come over."
Everyone immediately gathered around the girl and started to work. Ren Xingmei squatted on the side, staring at Ren Suo blankly with a smile on her face. Seeing this, Lin Xianyu also squatted beside her and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, just remembering my childhood."
"Is it a happy thing?"
"Not really. I was often sick when I was a kid and stayed in the hospital all year round." Ren Xingmei recalled, "Apart from reading, I usually waited for my brother to come and play with me."
"Later, my parents bought us a handheld game console, and he came over every day to play online with me to catch pets. He made so much noise that even the nurse wanted to send him away several times. Sometimes I was sick and in so much pain that I wanted to cry, but when I played games with him, I forgot to cry."
"Sometimes he goes to a classmate's house to play a new game, and he comes to me to tell me how fun and interesting the new game is. When he gets home, he asks me to pester my parents to buy a game console and a computer so that we can play together... Humph, he's using his sister to cheat money."
Ren Xingmei came back to her senses and quickly explained: "Ah, I...my brother actually..."
"Hehe." Lin Xianyu smiled and ran away. At this time, the little girl's parents came over and thanked Ren Suo and them profusely. The little girl reluctantly returned the phone to Ren Suo, waved her hand and said "goodbye brother", then jumped and left in a very healthy manner.
"We've been busy for so long, it's time to go back." Ren Suo checked the time and said, "Once you've chosen your gifts, tell me the store name and items, and I'll go buy them."
Ren Xingmei waved her hand: "Really, there's no need..."
Qiao Muyi and the others looked at each other, and edited their messages and sent them to Ren Suo. Ren Suo took a look and turned away: "Wait for me."
————
At night, after taking a shower, Ren Xingmei went over to hold Ren Suo's arm while he was playing games: "Brother, let me stay a few more days!"
"No, you have to go back tomorrow." Ren Suo said, "My parents also called and asked you to go back. You told them that you would only be here for two days and one night."
"No, no, no!" Ren Xingmei kept shaking Ren Suo's arms.
It was impossible to continue playing with his arms shaking like this, so Ren Suo put down the controller and took out a few shopping bags: "Your gift."
"You really bought some." Ren Xingmei took the bag and pretended to be distressed: "I don't know which one I like best..."
"No need to choose, there is only one."
Ren Xingmei was slightly stunned. She opened the package and found that it contained two sets of skirts, stockings, shoes, hats and other clothes.
"You should dress yourself up properly. Don't stick to me like a tomboy all day long. Be elegant." Ren Suo said.
Ren Xingmei whispered: "I don't like women's clothes..."
"Even they can see it in one day, why can't I see it?"
Ren Suo picked up the controller and continued playing the game, saying, "Well, I rarely pay attention to anything other than games... But at least, I know that you like to make female characters wear nice DLC clothes when playing games."
Ren Xingmei didn't know what to say for a moment. She took Ren Suo's arm and rested her head on his shoulder.
"Found the key."
"Key is asleep, start getting it."
"I found that the key has been formed..."
——————
The next day, after Ren Suo and others finished their meal at Dong Chengling's house, they sent Ren Xingmei out together.
"Can you take the bus to the station by yourself? No need to be sent away?" Ren Suo asked while standing at the school gate.
"No need. I'm already that old." Ren Xingmei, who was wearing men's clothing and a hat, pulled Ren Suo's sleeve and said, "Brother, when are you going to go home?"
"Me? Well... I'll see when I'm free." Ren Suo said perfunctorily.
On the other side, Lin Xianyu watched the interaction between Ren Suo and his sister, and whispered to Gu Yueyan:
"You're seeing things."
Gu Yueyan: "What did I see wrong?"
Lin Xianyu: "Look, she played games very well to match her brother's hobbies, came to celebrate with her brother immediately after getting good grades in the college entrance examination, wanted to live with her brother, and even deliberately wore men's clothes to avoid her brother's suspicion..."
"Isn't this just a super brother complex where you really like your brother?"
Gu Yueyan: "I can't understand brother complex. But fortunately, she is leaving..."
At this time, Ren Xingmei suddenly said loudly: "Brother, it doesn't matter if you don't come back. I will live here permanently in a few months!"
Gu Yueyan and the others were stunned, and Ren Suoqi asked, "What do you mean?"
"I chose Tianlian College and will study here for college!"
Ren Xingmei waved goodbye to them, got into a taxi carrying her backpack and bag, leaving behind a few people with complicated expressions.
…
"This trip is really a waste." Ren Xingmei sat in the car, put on headphones and listened to music, thinking: "I haven't been able to completely eliminate the threat of idiot brother's wallet..."
She touched several bags of clothes, then turned her head to look at the Tianlian Academy which was gradually disappearing into the distance.
"I just do it for the money, eh, what else is there to do?"
