“This is just a slow method. If you trust me, Sister Yuanzi, I have an even faster method, but I’ll be in trouble if I use it,” Li Wei said.
"What method is it?" Machida Sonoko asked quickly.
Machida Sonoko realized that her behavior was not dignified enough, which made her a little embarrassed. Although she worked as the editor in charge of the paperback, reviewing one unconventional story after another, she was very disciplined. Now, faced with this situation that went beyond the rules, she was somewhat at a loss.
Machida Sonoko swallowed hard, waiting for Li Wei to continue.
“The quickest way is also very simple. Didn’t I bring you back, Sister Yuanzi? Shiyu thought you were completely drunk, so she asked me to stay here to take care of you tonight. Why not take this opportunity to make it a fait accompli and create a fait accompli?” Li Wei laughed.
Machida Sonoko was like a cat with its fur standing on end; she almost jumped off the sofa.
"This...this...how can this be? I'm not ready yet!" Machida Sonoko was a little flustered. Li Wei's second idea was like a heavy cannon shot, directly shattering her defenses.
Li Wei simply smiled. The second method was indeed the fastest way, but after using it, he would be severely punished by the three girls.
But if this is enough to get Machida Sonoko into his arms, then even if he has to accept punishment, it's not a big deal, since he can handle it anyway.
“Sister Yuanzi, there’s no need to panic. All we need to do is create a nominal fait accompli and make them believe that we’ve done something irrational. That’s enough,” Li Wei said.
Li Wei's words relieved Machida Sonoko. It was much more reliable to buy a ticket before boarding than to board first and then buy a ticket later.
However, Machida Sonoko's mind was in a mess right now, and she didn't notice one problem: even if it was just a nominal fact, it would still affect her reputation. And if everyone believed it, she would be like mud falling into someone's crotch—even if it wasn't shit, it would still be shit.
However, this is also one of Li Wei's tricks. No matter whether Machida Sonoko boldly chooses to board the train first and then buy a ticket, or honestly buys a ticket first and then boards the train, she cannot escape his grasp.
All of what I said before was a setup for this moment. I used a series of words to confuse Machida Sonoko's judgment and hid my ultimate move in my normal attack, all for the purpose of killing her in one hit.
For Li Wei, getting on the train first and buying the ticket later was the most advantageous option, since it created a fait accompli, leaving Machida Sonoko with no room for regret.
If you buy a ticket first and then board the train, it doesn't really make much difference. Li Wei, a pillar author of the library, can directly deal with the editor-in-chief and shareholders of the library. Some top authors are even shareholders of the library themselves.
As long as Li Wei subtly reveals to Murata Yuichiro and other shareholders that he is very satisfied with Machida Sonoko and that he already has an ambiguous relationship with her, such rumors, spread from top to bottom, will eventually force Machida Sonoko to make a decision.
Li Wei could completely distance himself and define this series of statements as rumors, but even rumors can become a powerful force, and at that point, Machida Sonoko would have no choice but to make a decision.
Machida Sonoko gritted her teeth, stood up, grabbed Li Wei's wrist, and said, "I choose to believe you! I'll stake my entire life's happiness on it! I hope I haven't misjudged you."
“You won’t have a chance to regret this, Sonoko. I will make you one of the happiest women in the world.” Li Wei also stood up, took Machida Sonoko’s hand in return, and looked serious, as if they were holding a wedding ceremony.
“Hmm…” Machida Sonoko responded softly, keeping her head down and not daring to look at Li Wei.
The next morning, around six o'clock, Li Wei got up early to prepare breakfast for Machida Sonoko. Machida Sonoko had expended a lot of energy and was currently sleeping soundly, so he didn't want to disturb her sweet dreams. Taking advantage of the ample time, he simply...
Prepare breakfast and lunch for her.
Back at the apartment, he also made breakfast every day. Although Kasumigaoka Utaha and Kato Megumi didn't have the habit of sleeping in, neither of them were very good at cooking. In addition, Li Wei wasn't used to the Japanese food, so he would get up in the morning to make breakfast and bento boxes himself. For someone with superhuman strength, this didn't take much time or effort.
When Machida Sonoko woke up, she found herself all alone, and she felt a little disappointed.
"Has he already left? Well, he's a high school student, he has to go to school, it's only right that he left early." Machida Sonoko sighed, grabbed the clothes next to her and put them on, and just then, she smelled the aroma of food.
"He didn't leave?" Machida Sonoko quickly put on her clothes, slipped on her slippers, and left the bedroom. From a distance, she saw Li Wei busy in the kitchen, and she excitedly covered her mouth.
Chapter 91. Unexpected Success
In Li Wei's perception, he already knew that Machida Sonoko had gotten up. He, who had been using his supernatural powers to cook, obediently returned to his normal speed. He didn't want to reveal anything about himself yet, at least not now.
"Sister Sonoko, aren't you going to rest a little longer?" Li Wei revealed a hearty and masculine smile, his muscular upper body bare, wearing only the cartoon-style apron that Machida Sonoko often wore.
"Hmm... I think I do need to rest a bit more." Machida Sonoko leaned against the kitchen doorway, looking at Li Wei's handsome smiling face, a silly, happy smile appearing on her own.
Machida Sonoko felt a mix of pain and pleasure. She didn't get a break until around 3 a.m., her whole body covered in sweat. Now she wanted to take a shower to cool off.
She originally planned to take a shower after it was over, but who knew it would last so long? Exhausted, she fell into a deep sleep and only remembered to take a shower now.
“I thought you had already left,” Machida Sonoko said with a smile. Disappointment turned into delight—a feeling she hadn’t experienced in a long time.
“Even if I have to leave, I will take care of everything before I go. Besides, I’m not very good at housework, so I won’t be able to leave before you wake up, Sister Yuanzi,” Li Wei said in a very straightforward manner.
However, in Machida Sonoko's view, such directness is not necessarily a bad thing. At least when the two sides communicate, they don't have to go through so many detours. If there are too many detours, it is very difficult to convey the real information to the other party.
"Do you need me to ask for leave for you, Sister Yuanzi?" Li Wei said with a smile.
“I’d better do this myself,” Machida Sonoko said with a smile.
Machida Sonoko only needs to oversee the work of two authors, Li Wei and Kasumigaoka Utaha, so she doesn't have much free time on weekdays—a privilege she enjoys through connections. However, enjoying such privileges comes at a price, as evidenced by the hints given to her by the editor-in-chief and shareholders.
Machida Sonoko doesn't have anything to do right now. Even if she goes to the paperback headquarters, she'll just be slacking off and pretending to be busy.
Li Wei has just finished publishing the first volume, and its popularity hasn't fully taken hold yet, so there's no need to consider the second volume for at least the short term.
Meanwhile, Kasumigaoka Utaha was busy preparing her new work. Although she said it was going smoothly, it would still take more than a month to complete, so Machida Sonoko was in a relaxed state during this period. Li Wei was a rare talent in the industry who could maintain both quality and speed while meeting deadlines. Although Kasumigaoka Utaha was very troublesome in terms of time, the quality of her work was guaranteed, so Machida Sonoko didn't need to worry too much. Machida Sonoko suddenly realized that because of Li Wei's presence, she had prematurely entered a life of retirement, but this kind of life wasn't so bad.
"I'm going to get a scolding when I get back today, but it's all worth it. I'll introduce you to the other two when I have time later." Li Wei finished his work quickly, and a neatly made bento box was born from his hands.
"I haven't even figured out how to get past Xiaoshi yet. Isn't this too fast?" Machida Sonoko was a little worried. After all, she was the newcomer. Perhaps she was the oldest, but in this kind of thing, the order of events was the most important thing. Age was just a minor detail.
"I'll handle Shiyu's mindset, no need to worry. They're all very nice girls. Once you get to know them, you'll see that these things aren't as scary as you imagine," Li Wei said with a smile. After untying his apron and hugging the sweaty Machida Sonoko, Li Wei left a kiss on her forehead: "Now I have to go back to my apartment. It's school day today, and I need to go back and change into my school uniform."
Li Wei placed the prepared breakfast and bento boxes on the dining table and said, "Even if you don't work today, you still need to eat three meals a day properly. I have to go now. I'm taking two bento boxes with me, and I'll bring them back later."
Machida Sonoko didn't pester Li Wei, because time was running out. After changing into his school uniform at home, Li Wei wouldn't have much time to rest before having to leave again. She was a sensible and mature woman who knew her husband had important things to do. Her job was to take care of all the trivial matters in Li Wei's life. Before, she did this as an editor; now, she was entering Li Wei's life openly and legitimately as his wife.
After leaving, Li Wei took a taxi back to his apartment. It was already rush hour for commuters, and squeezing onto a tram at this time would be quite an ordeal.
Back at the apartment, Li Wei unlocked the door with his key. The living room was quiet; it seemed that Kasumigaoka Utaha and Kato Megumi hadn't gotten up yet.
Li Wei placed the breakfast bento on the coffee table. Just then, the bedroom door opened, and Kato Megumi and Kasumigaoka Utaha, dressed only in their pajamas, stood on either side of the doorway like guardian deities. (Please give flowers.)
"It's only a little past seven o'clock. I got up earlier than usual today," Li Wei said.
"I heard the door close and knew it was you coming back, so I wasn't sleepy anymore." Kasumigaoka Utaha tidied her long hair, which was a little messy from sleeping.
Kato Megumi, standing to the side, didn't have such worries. Short hair does have its advantages in certain situations, at least saving time on styling. Li Wei took a deep breath and seized the initiative, saying, "I'm sorry, something out of control happened last night." Kasumigaoka Utaha's hand, which was fixing her hair, froze in mid-air, and Kato Megumi's eyes sharpened unusually. "Don't tell me you and Sonoko-nee had a 'battle'," Kasumigaoka Utaha said, her tone somewhat unfriendly.
"Uh...yes," Li Wei replied, forcing a smile.
To Li Wei's surprise, Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't seem angry at all; he couldn't even sense any anger from her, which puzzled him. On the other hand, Kato Megumi, standing nearby, seemed to harbor a slight anger, though not much, enough to warrant his attention.
Kasumigaoka Utaha continued fixing her hair: "If it were anyone else, I'd be a little angry, but with Sonoko-nee, I can accept it. After all, she's almost thirty and still single; her unfortunate experiences could fill a book. I'm actually quite happy for her to have found happiness. It's just that when we meet, I'll tie her up and tickle her feet with feathers. How can you join the family without paying a price?"
"Is that the editor from before? She's quite a beauty." Kato Megumi puffed out her cheeks slightly, giving off an expression that said, "I'm very angry, come and coax me."
Li Wei's heart tightened. This was a death trap question; no matter how he answered it, it would be wrong. So he quickly changed the subject.
"Ahem, I've prepared breakfast bento boxes for you. Come and try them. Today's recipes are all new." Li Wei's smile was a little forced.
Kato Megumi deflated like a punctured balloon and said, "My dear is so cunning. If you do this again, I'll really be angry."
"No, no, I won't dare." Li Wei nodded hurriedly, while serving breakfast bento boxes to the two girls who had just gotten up. It would be best if this matter could be left unresolved. As for Eriri's situation, it was relatively easy to handle.
Chapter 92. Aki Tomoya's bad luck
As it turns out, most problems with tsundere girls are quite easy to solve once you learn to soothe them. The intense emotions that I felt in front of Kasumigaoka Utaha and Kato Megumi were no problem at all with Eriri. Li Wei handled the situation as easily as coaxing a cat.
As the days passed, Li Wei, as a member of Aki Tomoya's game development team, watched as the latter gradually rebuilt a fallen group. He had to admit that Aki Tomoya's strong drive and astonishingly thick skin often brought rewards.
After demonstrating sincerity and providing sufficient funding, a brand-new game development team was barely able to be assembled. Although the team was still short-handed, basic production could begin.
However, Aki Tomoya was really unlucky. Just when the group was finally established and could officially start work, he was in a car accident.
Li Wei was at a loss for words. This matter had nothing to do with him; it was simply a problem with Aki Tomoya. Aki Tomoya had gone out shopping by bicycle at night and encountered a group of bikers speeding on his way home. Fortunately, these bikers were motorcyclists, not motorcycle gangs; otherwise, Aki Tomoya wouldn't just be lying in a hospital bed; he would have been sent straight to the crematorium.
He was riding a bicycle when he collided with a motorcycle gang member. Both of them fell flat on their faces. Because the motorcycle gang member was not wearing a helmet, he suffered a mild concussion and multiple soft tissue injuries all over his body, and two of his ribs were broken into several pieces.
Aki Tomoya's situation is somewhat better; at least he didn't suffer a concussion, but he did have a fractured shinbone in his left leg, fractured middle and ring fingers in his right hand, and multiple soft tissue contusions throughout his body.
As a result, Aki Tomoya will not be able to come to school and will have to stay in bed for at least two or three months. He will only be able to move around in a wheelchair, and Li Weixian has to pay for his medical expenses first.
Because of this incident, Aki Tomoya's mentality collapsed again. Li Wei gained another 1000 points, bringing his total points to 10400. Li Wei's points finally broke through the 10,000 mark, enough for two 10-pulls.
Li Wei visited Aki Tomoya in the hospital. With Li Wei's comfort, the devastated Aki Tomoya finally cheered up and prepared to create the game he had in mind.
Li Wei glanced at the script drafted by Aki Tomoya and thought to himself, "Good heavens, this guy has a grudge against the players."
After experiencing a car accident, Aki Tomoya revised his original script, adding elements of a car accident.
The game's plot is quite simple. The male protagonist has three female confidantes: a senior female student, a childhood sweetheart, and a classmate. Originally, the male protagonist was living a happy life, juggling these three female confidantes.
But the good times didn't last long. The male protagonist was in a car accident and was hospitalized due to serious injuries. His best friend took a long leave of absence to take care of him. During this time, the male protagonist's best friend developed feelings for the three female protagonists, which led to a series of NTR plots that made people exclaim, "This is something else!"
In the end, when the male protagonist was discharged from the hospital, he could only watch as his three former confidantes happily leaned on their best friends, while he could only clench his fists.
Aki Tomoya also revealed that the script didn't have a good ending at all; no matter how you chose, it was all bed endings, which can be described as quite a revenge against society.
After playing this game, players will probably be so angry they'll break the disc, and might even send razor blades to Aki Tomoya. Li Wei finds this quite amusing.
Li Wei felt a strong sense of déjà vu about the script, as if it were a reflection of him. However, Li Wei didn't care about such things at all. Even Aki Tomoya himself wasn't afraid of airing his dirty laundry in public, so what did he have to worry about? He just needed to provide Aki Tomoya with enough funds to ensure the smooth production of this future NTR masterpiece.
"An Yi-kun, I'm really afraid you'll get ambushed by the players in this scenario." Li Wei put down the script.
Aki Tomoya lay on the hospital bed with an indifferent expression. He was eating an apple with his uninjured left hand, his eyes calm and expressionless.
"It doesn't really matter how you look at it. Besides, the real world isn't that wonderful. I'm just educating the players, letting them know that three-dimensional girls are far inferior to two-dimensional girls." Aki Tomoya added in his mind, at least two-dimensional girls would never betray the protagonist.
While feeling grateful to Li Wei, Aki Tomoya also loathed him. When Li Wei turned around, his eyes were filled with malice, as if he wanted to kill him outright...
Aki Tomoya comforted himself, thinking that Li Wei was just a stepping stone on his road to success. As long as the game was successful, he would be able to get noticed by game companies, accumulate experience, start his own business, and finally achieve financial freedom before the age of 35.
Li Wei felt Aki Tomoya's malice towards him, but he was neither sad nor happy. As his own power grew stronger, he cared less and less about Aki Tomoya's thoughts. It should be said that a person would not ask the ant's opinion or whether it was in pain before stepping on it.
In Li Wei's view, a tool is just a tool that is easy to use. Now that this tool is starting to become less and less useful, he can start thinking about wrapping things up.
"Whether it's three-dimensional or two-dimensional, it's not absolute. Since you seem to be doing well, I'll take my leave now and come see you again later." Li Wei stood up from the chair next to him and picked up his backpack.
