Start with a core cabin

Chapter 1599 One night has passed (driving the Euro truck and working hard every day)
"Thank you for your hard work!"

It was already evening when they walked out of the JIF venue. Ruby raised her hands and stretched hard.

"Did you see that? So many people are cheering for us today!"

"Yeah, although I expected it, I'm still very happy to see so many people willing to show their support."

MEM also nodded in empathy.

"My mother and brothers also came to see me today. My mother even cried when she met them just now. I feel a little embarrassed. After all, I am already 25 years old..."

"My mother came too and she was very happy too."

Fengbin Hexiang also smiled, although it was a little forced.

"Ruby, what about you? Oh, by the way, the president is your mother. She has been watching from the backstage."

"Ahahaha, that's right, but my sister is here too, I saw it."

"Hey? Ruby has a sister?"

Fengbin and Xiang were a little surprised to hear Ruby's answer.

"Ah."

Ruby nodded vigorously. Standing on the stage, how could she not see the white hair fluttering on top of the tall billboard? The person next to her should be Sister Chiyin... How to say it, based on Ruby's understanding of her sister, this really didn't surprise her at all.

After all, they have lived together for so long, and she has long been accustomed to her sister's extraordinary behavior.

"……………………Ruby, do you like your sister?"

"well enough………"

Ruby was a little surprised by the question suddenly asked by Fengbin Hexiang. She tilted her head and thought about it.

"Well... rather than saying I like her, I'd say I'm a little afraid of her."

"Afraid? Is she not nice to you?"

"That's not true."

Ruby smiled and waved her hand.

"My sister is very caring towards me, but sometimes...she gives me the feeling of a strict father. Whenever I do something out of line, she will scold me harshly."

"But it's a relief that you're willing to listen."

MEM seemed surprised to hear Ruby say this.

"I can understand that feeling. In fact, when my younger brothers acted naughty, I would scold them. But they never listened to me and always said that I was only a few years older than them and had no right to teach them a lesson..."

“Ahahahaha, I thought so at first, but…”

"but?"

"My sister is very scary."

Thinking back to her childhood, Ruby trembled all over. She had indeed been willful and would do something out of line, just as MEM had said. And every time this happened, Duanmu Huai would scold her. At first, Ruby was really annoyed by Duanmu Huai. They were just born and raised together, but she would not accept him scolding her just because she was his elder sister! After all, she was a reborn genius child!

Then Duanmu Huai grabbed her and spanked her on the ground, making Ruby scream.

Even if she wanted to talk back, she would shut up when she saw Duanmu Huai's murderous eyes.

However, as long as Ruby is obedient, Duanmu Huai will not punish her, and Ruby can grow up smoothly... Well, sugar and whip are both part of family education.

In fact, since Kyoko Saito was busy with the work of Berry PRO, it was Duanmu Huai who took care of Ruby most of the time.

"Every time I did something wrong, she would scold me seriously. If I dared to talk back, she would catch me and spank me. I have never experienced such humiliation before... But my sister doesn't scold me every time. As long as I don't do anything out of line, she is still quite gentle to me."

"That's it..."

Hearing what Ruby said, MEM, Fengbin and Xiang all had complicated expressions. Although Ruby said that her sister often beat her, looking at Ruby, it seemed that she didn't mind at all.

"By the way, what were they beaten for?"

"The last time I remember... was when I was in elementary school. I was making curry and ran to watch TV. When my sister came back, she found the whole kitchen was filled with black smoke..."

"………………………"

"My sister came back and turned off the engine, then she pushed me down on the sofa and spanked me. It still hurts when I think about it now."

"…Why did you go watch TV in the middle of cooking?"

“Because at that time I suddenly remembered that there was an idol variety show I wanted to watch! But I forgot about it while watching it… ahahaha…”

"…………………"

How should I put it? If you say he deserves to be beaten, he really does deserve to be beaten.

"Okay, you guys get ready too, we're going back to the office."

At this time, Kyoko Saito had also finished packing and came over to speak. The three of them followed her out of the venue and walked towards the parking lot.

But then again... I have never seen my sister act like a spoiled brat in front of others.

Ruby, who was walking at the back carrying a suitcase, was enjoying the evening breeze and looking at the night sky in front of her when this thought suddenly popped up in her mind.

Whether in love or with Kyoko, Ruby would act like a spoiled child to them, and sometimes she would be willful. But her sister never did that. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that when she was a baby, she was a person who had a gap with others. She didn't interact with her much at that time. At that time, Ruby thought that her sister was developmentally retarded. In fact, Duanmu Huai just found her annoying.

When she grew up, her sister gave Ruby the impression that she was a lonely child who didn't like to talk or communicate and was always alone. For example, when she was in kindergarten, she rarely interacted with other children and just sat quietly by the side. Even when facing her mother, she didn't get close to her.

But she wasn't the kind of lonely person who hated everything, or to Ruby's taste, she was the kind of strong person who could survive even if she was alone.

Thinking of this, Ruby always felt a little sorry for her sister. Although she had encountered many things over the years, Aunt Kyoko and her sister also cared about her and had close friends with her.

But my sister... doesn't seem to have anyone similar.

It was only recently in the office that I saw her talking to Kana Arima and Akane Kurokawa, but are they good friends?

………It’s a bit subtle.

Why not go back and ask?

Thinking of this, Ruby made a decision and got on the car back to the office.

However, Duanmu Huai did not return home that night.

"Um…………………"

Duanmu Huai stood up, facing the sunlight outside the window, and stretched.

"I really didn't expect it to turn out like this, eh......"

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

While muttering to himself, Duanmu Huai turned his head and saw Kurokawa Akane sleeping soundly on the bed behind him. Judging from the messy traces on the bed, it was not difficult to imagine how fierce the battle had been here.

That being said, this is a bit unexpected.

Last night, when Duanmu Huai was taking the train to take Kurokawa Akane home, the latter suddenly looked very uncomfortable, with a flushed face and shortness of breath. So Duanmu Huai hurriedly took Kurokawa Akane home to rest, but what Duanmu Huai didn't expect was that when he was helping Kurokawa Akane into the bedroom, the little girl actually pushed him down!

Duanmu Huai was completely confused at that time.

What's going on?

At that time, Kurokawa Akane was gasping for breath and staring at himself, which made Duanmu Huai wonder if someone had poisoned her!
But soon, when Duanmu Huai saw the strange tentacle mark on Heichuan Akane's arm, he immediately understood what was going on.

Indeed, people who are engaged in art can easily connect with the spirit of the Old Ones and are easily in tune with the spirit of Cthulhu. These people are also painters, singers, writers and the like. Actors can also be considered to be in this category and are naturally also easily influenced.

But...it doesn't mean that you will be affected inexplicably, there is always an opportunity.

Even those who were polluted by Cthulhu's spirit were not connected to Cthulhu inexplicably. They either read Cthulhu's stories or got Cthulhu's statues. After all, gods are like this. They need some kind of opportunity to connect with other people.

But...there is no such connection between me and Kurokawa Akane?

Although Duanmu Huai didn't know what was going on, he couldn't let Kurokawa Akane succeed!
After all, she is just a little girl with no special abilities, and Duanmu Huai can easily make her obedient with just one hand!
Of course, the price is that the whole sheet seems to be soaked... Well, it shouldn't be dehydrated.

probably not.

"Why……………"

Duanmu Huai sighed silently. He really wanted to have a cigarette at this moment, but unfortunately, he only had a cell phone in his hand.

When he turned on his cell phone, he saw a series of missed calls, so Duanmu Huai had to call back.

"—————Where on earth have you been, sister?"

As expected, Ruby's angry roar came from the phone the next moment.

"Didn't I leave a message saying that Chi Yin wasn't feeling well, so I was taking care of her at her house?"

Duanmu Huai said that he did not lie, everything was true. As for why he felt unwell and how he took care of himself, there was no need to delve into the details.

"But you don't have to not answer a single call!"

"forget."

"Aha……………"

Faced with Duanmu Huai's straightforward answer, Ruby was completely speechless.

"Anyway, it's a good thing you called back, otherwise Aunt Kyoko would have called the police if you were a little later."

"I'm sorry to have made you worry. I need to check on the situation today. Please ask for leave for rehearsal."

"Okay, I get it, sis."

"Oh, by the way, Ruby. I saw your performance yesterday. You did a great job."

"hey-hey……………"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, Ruby smiled proudly.

"I knew you would say that, sister."

After praising Ruby a few more times and making the cat purr, Duanmu Huai hung up the phone. At this moment, the voice of Kurokawa Akane came from behind Duanmu Huai.

“Hmm… Umm… Is it morning already…?”

While yawning, Kurokawa Akane sat up, but when she saw Duanmu Huai standing in front of the window the next moment, she suddenly froze.

"Xiao, Xiao Ai?"

At this moment, everything that happened last night came back to Kurokawa Akane's mind. She remembered very clearly that when she encountered that scene in the train, it seemed to awaken the hidden memories in her body, and all her rationality was almost burned out in the blazing flames.

When Xiao Ai helped him back home and he felt her breath and petite body, Kurokawa Akane's last bit of rationality was broken, and then...

"Ughhhhhhhh!! What did I do!?"

At this moment, Kurokawa Akane's face turned red, and he almost wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it!
"Anyway, I'm going to go get something to eat."

Duanmu Huai didn't even look at the panicked Kurokawa Akane and walked straight out of the room, while Kurokawa Akane lowered his head and couldn't say a word.

Or rather...she simply didn't know what to say!
