I will never give in to Miss Death

Yin Xiamo sat down next to me: "I love Nuoer deeply."

"Nasty."

"Is this corny?"

Under the charming stars, the girl next to me grabbed my hands and pushed me down on the top of the tower: "Do you want me to teach you what is really disgusting?"

"Hey!"

Realizing what this guy was going to do, I said in horror: "We are at the top of the tower..."

"Then let's have a kiss."

"Haven't you kissed enough at home? Hmm..."

"..."

The starry sky above Minami-nagi Tower lit up brightly tonight.

No. 168 A wedding and two cats

The temperature on Friday finally dropped a bit compared to the previous few days.

Of course, the temperature is not a big problem for me, who spends most of the day working in a coffee shop and then goes straight to the air-conditioned room when I get home. At most, I will be exposed to the sun for ten minutes on the way back and sweat profusely.

I can clearly feel that my life has improved significantly after these few days of hard work.

When playing online games, what people hate the most is not the hard work and money spent, but that I have worked hard and spent money but cannot see any obvious improvement and don’t know where the road ahead lies.

The electricity bill in the small apartment is 1.5 yuan per kilowatt-hour, and the rent is less than 12 yuan. If I turn on the air conditioner at home for half a day, cook with an electric rice cooker and range hood at night, and keep the computer on for 30 hours to type, the electricity bill will be degrees, more than yuan a month, which is more expensive than the rent.

At that time, my salary was only two or three thousand, and with the royalties it was just over three thousand. If I chose to lie down after a holiday or when I got home from work, I would not get any royalties. If I wrote in the living room, I would be shivering with cold in the winter and almost get heatstroke in the summer. I had to turn on the air conditioner if I wanted my brain to function normally. Then all the money I earned from writing novels went to electricity bills. I had no idea what "hope" was.

While working in the coffee shop and trying hard to serve customers, I could see its popularity growing almost every day. More and more customers came to the store, and my number of fans on Tongmeng.com also increased. I felt very good after returning home, and my ideas for writing novels also opened up. It was a virtuous cycle, and Yin Xiamo and I had more and more "available assets".

"You guys should go back today. I have received the money from that person and also got the plan. Just let me set up the store."

Around four o'clock in the afternoon, Ouyang Xue gave Yin Xiamo, Elodie and me a day off: "Nuo'er and Xiamo will come on time tomorrow and work half a day, and then your friend's wedding will be held in the afternoon."

"Ok."

After changing into my daily clothes and walking out of the bathroom with Yin Xiamo, I looked at the project plan in Ouyang Xue's hand curiously: "Can you tell me what specific requirements he made?"

"Want to know?"

Ouyang Xue looked mysterious. She looked around at the customers in the coffee shop who were either playing with cats or drinking Coke and surfing the Internet on their laptops. She came up to me and said, "Is your friend also from the ACG world?"

"Eh?"

I was a little surprised: "Why do you say that?"

"The makeup artist he hired specializes in the ACG field. I know her."

Ouyang Xue pointed to some sample pictures on the project plan and said, "Tomorrow her bride will be cosplayed as Saber from Fate Zore, the bride Saber. If I hadn't watched this anime and had a certain understanding of these cultures, I might not have accepted this job."

Cosplaying as a bride Saber getting married? Is this a big deal?

Jiang Wei's various personalities emerged in my mind when playing the game.

It seems... He does like watching anime, and can be considered an 2D person, but I remember that guy's favorite is not the Touhou series? What's the matter with Saber?

But if you really want to be picky, there doesn't seem to be anyone in the Touhou series who is suitable to cosplay as a bride at a wedding.

Reimu Hakurei? You can't marry a miko, right? Kirisame Marisa? My only impression of this human magician is that he's a tomboyish "big thief". He's a good friend, but his wife is a bit weird... Could he find one from the Earth Spirit Hall in the Scarlet Devil Mansion? Remlia Scarlet? Flandre? Komeichi Ren? Or Beni Meiling? Or some witch who gets asthma when she moves?

You can't go to Yongyuan Pavilion to catch a rabbit to be your bride, can you?

With this calculation, it seems that it is normal for Jiang Wei not to choose characters from the Touhou series. After all, a wedding is not a trivial matter. Hanayome Saber is similar to an ordinary bride except that she needs to wear fake hair. It won't be too embarrassing if friends and relatives who don't understand this aspect come to the wedding.

I remember Jiang Wei seemed to have said that he only wanted to hold a very small wedding, keeping everything simple, and not inviting too many people, so he booked our newly opened coffee shop. It was meant to help "bring good luck" to the opening of our new store, and it also reflected Jiang Wei's philosophy on life.

Jiang Wei has said more than once in voice messages that he really doesn't like the current society, where you have to treat people to drinks when you ask them to do something, and good brothers and good friends have to drink when they get together. Not drinking is considered looking down on others. The more people there are at a wedding, the more glamorous it is, and the more luxurious the car, the more face it has. There are also boarding fees, getting off fees, and fees for changing one's name... Every time he talked about these things, he was very disdainful and claimed that if his wedding was like this, he would rather not get married for the rest of his life.

Finally Jiang Wei compromised, met the girl he loved, and prepared to get married at lightning speed.

I guess... maybe the girl's attitude towards marriage is highly consistent with Jiang Wei's, otherwise it would be impossible for the two of them to hold a wedding after dating for less than a month.

Nowadays, the price for a big hotel to arrange a wedding is generally tens of thousands, but the coffee shop is not a high-end hotel after all, and the daily turnover is not that high. Besides, Jiang Wei is my good friend. Taking all the above into consideration, Ouyang Xue gave him 8888 yuan for booking the place from afternoon to evening, which can be regarded as a reward for his "help in bringing good luck".

"It should be a girl's request."

After thinking for a while in the coffee shop, I took a bag of cookies from the snack bag next to me and said, "That girl must be truly in love with Jiang Wei."

I think her name is "Ye Zi"? A very beautiful name.

And I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but Jiang Wei and Ye Zi…I once saw this pair in a book.

I was still in high school at that time, and it happened to be a period when painful literature was popular. The youth magazines in the newsstands around the school and various bookstores sold similar things, such as "Reflection on the Left Hand, Years on the Right Hand", "Sadness Goes Against the Current like a River", "Angels Will Love You for Me", etc. At that time, I borrowed a book from the school library called "Youth is Useless".

It tells the story of a youth tragedy in an ordinary school. The male protagonist is Jiang Wuwei and the female protagonist is Ye Zi.

"Why are you following Elodie's lead and starting to eat snacks?"

Seeing me chewing the bear biscuits, Ouyang Xue said with some amusement, "Like a rabbit."

"Then the store manager bought it for us to eat!"

I complained, "All the delicious food was cleared out by Elodie overnight, so only these cookies are left."

"Be careful not to get fat."

"No way."

I said disdainfully: "I wish I could gain some weight."

My current weight is about the same as that of my two cats. If this number were made public, a lot of people would probably say that I’m malnourished.

In fact, I look quite "round", at least not the type that is skin and bones. My small face is fleshy, and my calves and legs are very slender but have the right flesh where they should be fleshy and the right lean where they should be lean. There is a vague curve on my belly, and a vague vest line in the middle, which I guess is the result of the hard work I have done every morning and evening these days.

"Yes, yes, yes. When a coffee shop thrives, the store manager suffers. When a coffee shop fails, the store manager also suffers."

Ouyang Xue sighed softly: "Alright, alright, go back and have a rest, leave this to me."

"Is Nuoer Xiaomo off work too?"

At this time, Lan Jiajia, who had also changed her clothes, walked down from the second floor: "I heard that someone is going to hold a wedding here tomorrow?"

"Yeah, a friend of Noel's."

Ouyang Xue took the mop and started cleaning: "Lan Jiajia, you live with Yin Nuoer and the others, right? When you go back, tell Elodie to take a day off tonight as well. I need to make some arrangements here tonight."

"it is good."

Lan Jiajia, who changed into her daily clothes and had a more magnificent chest, came over and took my and Yin Xiamo's hands on the left and right: "Let's go, little ones. It seems like this is the first time we're going back together!"

I couldn't help but mutter, "Why do I feel like you are carrying two daughters..."

Lan Jiajia turned around, her chest shaking: "What did you say?"

I quickly turned my head away: "Nothing, nothing."

"..."

As I walked out of the coffee shop, by coincidence, several people wearing strange clothes and carrying cameras walked over. The woman in the lead, who was wearing sunglasses, was very excited when she saw me. She waved her hands wildly at me, "Wait a minute! Those people over there!"

While shouting, these people ran towards this side.

"Hello, are you all the maids working here? Especially this one... Yin Nuoer, we have been paying attention to you for a long time."

The woman wearing sunglasses took out a business card from her jacket pocket and said, "I'm the team leader of the "World Dreams" crew. You can call me Sister Wang. Are you interested in joining the entertainment industry?"

"Not interested in?"

Because I have rejected many similar people in the past few days, I shook my head as soon as I heard this person say: "I just want to live an ordinary life now."

"There are many benefits to joining the entertainment industry. Not only can you make a lot of money, but you can also gain a lot of fame and let the whole world know your name and what you look like. You can buy a lot of beautiful clothes at will and never have to worry about money again."

The woman in front of him seemed unwilling to give up: "We have investigated. You seem to have been writing novels online recently? It can be seen that you must be very short of money. I promise you that as long as you join the entertainment industry, you don't need to go far away with your looks. When the time comes, you can hire countless writers to write any plot you want with just a little money. You can even adapt the novel you want into a comic, anime, or a movie. No problem! If you don't believe it, you can check our company online. We are formal..."

Seeing that this person was about to continue talking, I took out a small cookie from the cookie box that I had just stolen from the coffee shop.

"Dry……"

The woman was puzzled: "What?"

I asked in my “innocent” voice, “Do you have this?”

"I...I don't have this."

The woman obviously had no idea what I was going to do. She was stunned for a moment before she said, "But I have a lot of money, more than your manager gave me."

I took out another bear cookie from the cookie box and handed both cookies to the woman: "Here you go."

"what?"

The woman took the two cookies I handed over, at a loss.

"Now you have cookies too."

As I said that, I signaled Lan Jiajia and Yin Xiamo next to me to run away quickly.

"puff……"

It was not until they trotted a long way along the tree-lined path outside the coffee shop that Lan Jiajia couldn't help laughing out loud: "Nuo'er, you looked so cute just now!"

"Recently, it's all these people who are trying to poach my employees. I hate them so much."

I ate the last cookie and put the empty box back into the bunny backpack behind me. "No matter what I say, he won't listen, so I have to take unconventional measures."

"Yes, I also think that the director's brain is short-circuited right now."

Lan Jiajia looked at me curiously: "Who did you learn this from?"

I shook my head: "Self-taught."

Or rather... forced by life.

Not to mention that in real life there are often people who advise me to become a star, join the entertainment industry, or become a voice actor, there are also many people on the Internet who find me through various special channels.

These people wouldn't listen to anything I said, so in the end I had no choice but to just fight back regardless of what they said.

For example, some people joined the novel QQ group, and then contacted me as the group owner. They started by saying, "Have you ever considered changing careers? I'm XXX from a certain company." I immediately sent them a recruitment notice for a coffee shop - "Our store is short of a security guard recently. Do you want to come? I'm an agent, and I want to take half of the salary from above."

There are also those who come up and ask if there are any "special services". I directly send them the beautiful pictures of men related to "Brother Jie, please don't do that" and "114514" that I have prepared in my computer.

"What do the two little ones want to eat later?"

As they walked together on the small road leading to the community under the slightly hot afternoon sun, Lan Jiajia acted as if she was going to show off her skills tonight: "It's rare for the four of us to have dinner together."

"I want to eat fried pork ribs and that saury!"

Yin Xiamo immediately responded: "It would be best if we could have a big pot of fish head soup! Nuo'er made it before, with tofu in it, it was delicious!"

"Yeah, spare ribs, saury, and fish head soup."

Lan Jiajia turned to me and asked, "What would Xiao Nuoer like to eat?"

"I'm not picky about food."

I thought about it and said, "Oh, by the way, I'll make two more portions when I cook later."

"Make two more servings?"

Lan Jiajia was puzzled: "Do you have friends coming?"

"Yes, it's the ACG guy that Sister Ouyang just mentioned who asked his wife to dress up as a bride Saber to get married. He said before that he would come to help us install the computer."

The message Jiang Wei sent me two days ago came to my mind: "Since someone else is coming, I want to invite him to have a meal."

"That's good, it's more lively when there are more people."

Lan Jiajia was obviously very happy to have someone come to her house: "I'll go to the market to buy vegetables later, you guys go to my house to entertain him first."

"Buzz buzz-"

As I was speaking, the phone in my pocket vibrated, and Jiang Wei and his group's exclusive ringtone, the German tank "Hallelujah", rang out.

If you really say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.
