I loaded the dream game

“So, after seeing his business pick up while they lost customers, the shops that were originally on the sidelines began to follow suit... and then it became like this.” The girl concluded.

"So that's how it is..." Xia Zhi nodded, roughly understanding what was going on.

Anyway, this is always a good thing for travelers like them, right?

"Let me ask you for the record... who was the person who gave the advice for the first store?"

"It's me." The gray-haired witch replied.

"..."

Looking at the "free" iced dessert and coffee in front of her, Xia Zhi fell silent.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I'm not doing that kind of thing for a free dessert."

Facing his suspicious look, Irena said dissatisfiedly.

"Because a few days ago, I met a man who looked like the mayor on the road and asked me what my impression of this town was."

Xia Zhi actually wanted to know what kind of person would look like the mayor.

As for the girl's impression of the town, he was not curious.

After all, as early as the first day Irena came here, she gave her evaluation of this place:

...half dead.

Xia Zhi could probably imagine what expression the man who looked like the mayor had.

Irena ignored the boy's look and continued, "He also admitted what I said... so he entrusted me with the task and wanted me to help him think of a way to revive this town."

"."So you came up with this idea?" Xia Zhi asked.

"Look, this is a place that relies on tourism, right?" Irena said.

What is the most important thing in the tourism industry? Besides the attractions, it is of course the atmosphere.

In this remote town, everyone lives a peaceful life and neighbors get along harmoniously with each other, giving a sense of non-aggression.

Such an atmosphere is certainly very suitable for retirement, but it is not quite suitable as a tourist destination.

No one likes a lifeless place. Locals can understand this, but foreign tourists don’t have the patience to learn so much. They are just traveling and having fun, and the first impression is the most important. Therefore, it is necessary to make it lively in order to leave a good impression on tourists.

"Besides... Isn't it the Obon Festival a few days after the Tanabata Festival? This can be considered as a rehearsal in advance, so as to try to keep the tourists who come by then."

Xia Zhi had to admit that what Irena said made sense.

But...something still feels wrong?

"Click..."

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly heard a slight sound coming from the side.

Xia Zhi turned around and found a man in work clothes holding a camera, apparently taking pictures of them.

"Sorry, my two guests, I disturb you..."

The man apologized at first, then continued:

"It's like this. Our store has launched a new promotion for couples. If you take a photo, you can get a free meal. The photo will be hung on our newly opened couple wall as a souvenir."

"Because it was just opened today, you should be considered the first couple to take pictures here. We will give you an extra permanent 20% discount card."

"Free of charge means... no matter how much you order today, it's free?" Irena's attention didn't seem to be on the latter sentence.

"Of course," the photographer replied, and then added:

"If possible, can you let me take a few more pictures?"

If this is the case...

Xia Zhi looked at Irena hesitantly, but saw that the girl didn't care at all. She even took the initiative to sit next to him, moved her body closer to him and held his hand.

"What's wrong?" Irena looked at him in confusion, then urged, "Hurry up, I still have several dessert flavors that I haven't tried yet."

In your eyes, am I just a tool to get free food?

Xia Zhi complained, sighed slightly, and took the initiative to hug the girl.

Xiao Xiazhi, who saw this scene when she came back from a distance: "..."

We just broke up not long ago, and it seems my brother has a new girlfriend.

Chapter 710: My sister is still a worry

Xiao Xiazhi was very angry, especially after she saw the photo posted on the couple's wall, she became even angrier.

Originally, she wanted to take a photo with her brother and post it, but was stopped by him.

"I'm sorry, little sister, this is a couple's wall. We don't support brother-sister business for the time being." The photographer politely declined.

Moreover, if there are photos of the same man and different girls on the couple's wall, it feels like the style has changed completely, right?

Xiao Xiazhi puffed up her face in annoyance.

What brother and sister? Can't you see we are related?

You are so blind. You don’t even need to use this air conditioner!

She thought to herself, turned around angrily and said to the boy:

"Brother, shall we go to the coffee shop across the street?"

Ah, this...

Xia Zhi looked down at the cold drink he had just ordered and hesitated.

"They just waived our bill."

If he just left like that, wouldn't the photo he just took be in vain?

"I don't want to eat the food that you, brother, exchanged for your body." Xiao Xiazhi snorted.

Why does this sound weird?

Xia Zhi was thinking about it when he felt someone pulling the corner of his clothes.

He turned around and saw Irena sneaking up to him. She glanced at the angry girl opposite and asked in a low voice:

"I feel like when she was little, sister Xia Zhi's personality was much worse?"

As she approached, Xia Zhi could feel the breath she exhaled when she spoke lingering around his ears, with a hint of sweetness.

It's vanilla ice cream.

Xia Zhi quickly figured it out and thought to himself.

"It's just that my possessiveness is a little too strong." He thought about it and spoke well of his sister.

People's experiences will affect their personality, and Xia Zhi's age is the most vulnerable to influence. After experiencing the past, Xia Zhi developed a more likable and lively personality. But now, Xia Zhi seems to be developing into a jealous person?

So, has my education level declined?

Xia Zhi fell into self-reflection.

"You two, the photos have already been taken, how long are you going to be so affectionate?"

Seeing the two of them still sitting side by side on the same chair, so close to each other, Xiao Xiazhi puffed up her cheeks and said dissatisfiedly.

Irena didn't care much. She pushed another cup of ice cream in front of her to the girl, winked at her, and asked:

"Want to eat? It's my treat."

"No." Xiao Xiazhi turned her head away and refused decisively... She was still angry.

"Eat it?"

"Don't eat!"

"I see..." Irena thought for a moment, then said, "But I can't finish it all by myself...I have to ask Xia Zhi to help me finish it."

Solve it together... that is, eat a cup of ice cream together?

That scene appeared in Xiao Xiazhi's mind, and she quickly shook her head with a red face.

My brother would never agree to something like that—she had absolutely no confidence in saying that.

As she hesitated, Irena took the opportunity to stuff the prepared scoop of ice cream into her mouth.

Xiao Xiazhi opened her eyes slightly, but soon, the coolness and sweetness that melted and spread in her mouth softened her whole body.

It turns out that girls can’t resist sweets.

Looking at the girl who was refusing just now but now making a "wuwu" sound and seemed to be licking the spoon with her little tongue, Xia Zhi thought to himself.

"Then this cup is for you~"

Irena said this, calling the waiter over and ordering another serving of the same flavor.

By the way, why did you order the same thing...and didn’t you say you couldn’t finish it?

"So I ordered a small portion this time." Irena replied.

"The one just now has melted a little because it has been left for a long time."

Xia Zhi thinks that slightly melted ice cream is the most delicious.

“By the way, give me ten more servings of this flavor... and two servings of each of the others,” the girl continued.

"Can you finish it like this?" Xia Zhi looked at her flat belly and couldn't help but complain.

"I'd like to make it clear in advance that I'm not responsible for the aftermath."

"Don't worry, I can preserve it with magic, so it won't be wasted." The girl said as she picked up the cold drink on the table and took a big sip.

Summer Solstice:…

It turns out that it was used as food reserve.

Even if someone offers you a free meal, they won't take advantage of you like this, right?

He complained in his mind.

But, speaking of it...

Looking at the glass of cold drink in the gray-haired girl's hand, Xia Zhi suddenly remembered something.

That seems to be the drink I just drank?

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Noticing his gaze, Irena loosened her grip on the straw, tilted her head slightly, looked at him in confusion and asked.

"...No, nothing." Xia Zhi looked away.

The girl never ordered any cold drinks. She had only been drinking coffee from the beginning.

So, she actually knew that the cold drink was hers.

Even so, she still didn't care.

Looking at the girl who lowered her head again and sipped the cold drink from the cup, Xia Zhi thought to himself.

...If you think about it carefully, it is true that indirect kissing, based on the direct contact that has already happened, does not seem to be a big deal.

Just as he was thinking this, he heard a girl's voice coming from the other side.

"elder brother……"

Upon hearing this, Xia Zhi raised his head and looked across.

Xiao Xia Zhi was holding her stomach and looking at him pitifully: "My stomach hurts..."

Looking at the empty ice cream cup in front of her, Xia Zhi probably knew why the girl had a stomachache.

In other words, it hasn't been long since I finished a whole cup of ice cream. It would be strange if I didn't have a stomachache.

Xia Zhi sighed helplessly.
