"There are many longan trees planted in front of Jiang Wei's house. The longan trees are ripe around July, and his parents will pick the fruits and sell them. It happened to be our summer vacation. Every time the longan is ripe, he will bring a lot of fruits to my house, saying that these are the leftovers at home. Every time I open the basket, I can see a whole basket of the biggest and most fleshy longans... If he said he didn't like me at that time, I wouldn't believe it!"

As she spoke, Ye Zi seemed to be lost in some memories: "As for the time when I was bullied by the gangsters, I can hardly remember it. The only thing I can remember is that I was not afraid at all at that time, because I knew that Brother Jiang Wei would definitely come to save me."

"After that, something happened to Brother Jiang Wei's family, but he was still willing to give me milk every morning. When I went home on weekends and rest days, I would help with farm work at home, and he would come from time to time to help us plant rice and farm. He was almost like this throughout my elementary school years. At that time, my mother told me, Ye Zi, if you are able to grow up and still have a connection with this person, mom will not object to you marrying this poor boy."

"Wow……"

Yin Xiamo was somewhat moved by what she heard: "What happened next?"

"Later, Jiang Wei moved to a faraway place. His father and mother divorced. We kept in very weak contact until he changed his phone number without telling me."

While waiting for the computer to install the system, Ye Zi turned around and looked at the little succubus bed sheet in our bedroom: "I know that Brother Jiang Wei was at the lowest point in his life at that time. No one read his novels, and his computer store was about to go bankrupt if it didn't make dirty money, so he cut off all contact... He has always been this kind of person. If he feels that he can't give a girl happiness, he will just let her go. He thinks marriage is too tiring and that he doesn't deserve to be a father, so he just doesn't get married. He even hopes that I will find a richer man to enjoy life..."

"Of course I didn't want to, but Jiang Wei refused to tell me his new phone number and went to work in a big city. So I memorized his social media accounts. Jiang Wei liked computers, so I learned how to use them. I played whatever games he liked. I even pretended to be a stranger in his favorite game, Dungeon Fighter, and asked him to help me with a copy. I liked every video he posted, subscribed to and rewarded his novels, and even joined his fan group."

"It wasn't until this month that my work became stable and I saved some money that I mustered up the courage to find him and confess to him."

This……

Ye Zi’s story moved me a little.

Is this the love story now?

"then you……"

I organized my words a little: "You haven't been in touch for so long, and Jiang Wei has also said that he doesn't want to get married. Aren't you afraid that he will reject you?"

"No, and his refusal doesn't stop me from following him."

Ye Zi looked very relaxed: "Brother Jiang Wei took care of me for so long when I was a child. Now that I have grown up, it is my turn to take care of him. It doesn't matter even if he insists on not getting married. We can still play games together and be good brothers like before."

"..."

At this moment, the newly installed high-speed computer in front of me completed the system installation and successfully entered the Windows interface.

"So this machine is not only Jiang Wei's blessing to you, but also my personal blessing to you. Don't care about the world's gaze, please encourage each other to keep going."

Seeing that the system had been installed, Ye Zi silently put the various tools back into the already loose backpack, and then looked at me with some grievance——

"Well, I'm hungry. Do you have any more of the mung bean and kelp?"

"..."

……

No. 170A storm seems to be coming?

On May 18th, the average temperature in Minaminagi District, Kamihama City dropped significantly compared to the previous few days, from over 30 degrees to over 20 degrees, and it seems to be trending downward.

This is how it is in a seaside city. The temperature is changeable. It rains when it says it will rain, and it gets cold when it says it will get cold. The specific weather depends entirely on the sky.

Kamihama City is not like those inland megacities. Those cities have very serious heat island effect almost every year because of their large number of buildings, little vegetation and low forest coverage. The carbon dioxide and various industrial gases that cannot be dissipated are concentrated in the urban area, making the city like a big furnace.

The climate in Kamihama City, especially in Minaminagi District, is very complicated. Often, rainbow rain will fall while the sun is shining brightly. Large hailstones will suddenly fall from the sky at 37 or 38 degrees, making it difficult to guard against.

"Today's weather forecast for Kamijima: Today to tomorrow... the highest temperature will be 21 degrees Celsius, the highest will be 27 degrees Celsius, the intensity of the sun has significantly weakened compared to last week, and there may be light or heavy rain in some areas..."

Early in the morning, I walked out of the room in a daze as usual and took a quick shower in the bathroom. When I came to the living room to change clothes, I found that Lan Jiajia had already prepared breakfast for us. There were steaming noodles, eggs and milk on the table.

"Good morning, both of you!"

Seeing Yin Xiamo and I, Lan Jiajia, who was still wearing an apron, pointed to the breakfast on the table and said, "You guys aren't picky eaters, are you?"

"Not picky eaters."

I walked over and looked at the noodles on the table.

It smells so good, with thin noodles, thick soup, very thinly sliced ​​beef, and some lettuce and chopped green onions, which makes people very appetizing just by looking at it.

Especially the beef. In my eyes, beef has always been a luxury. Even during the African swine fever epidemic, its price was much more expensive than pork. So when I lived in a small apartment, I would buy a little bit of beef only when the company gave me a bonus or readers rewarded my novel, and I was in a particularly good mood.

When it comes to cooking, what I lack is knife skills.

When I was an uncle, I was not very good at cutting meat. Now I have become a little girl. It is difficult for me to even lift a kitchen knife, let alone handle raw meat. So when I cook at home, I usually ask the aunties and uncles at the vegetable market to help cut the meat and bring it back, or I just cook dishes that do not require cutting meat.

But Lan Jiajia obviously does not have this "shortcoming". I know that the beef was left over from when she went to the market to buy things to make braised beef while Ye Zi was having dinner at our house last night. The thickness of the sliced ​​meat is just between the thin as cicada wings of those stingy "beef noodles" out there and the meat slices cut by ordinary people. Not only is the thickness moderate, but the size is also just right to put on the noodles.

Because the beef is still very fresh, it is put into the noodles and even has rainbow stripes on its surface - fresh beef has some fibers in it which will scatter light when put into water after being cooked, forming a "rainbow". Some people may think it is not fresh when they see the colorful surface of the beef when they go to a restaurant to eat beef, but this is actually a sign of good quality beef.

A bowl of beef noodles with vegetables contains starch and various vitamins contained in meat, plus an all-purpose boiled egg to supplement protein, and then milk to supplement the remaining calcium and sugars. I can give this breakfast full marks.

"Then I'm not welcome!"

Looking at the steaming noodles, milk and eggs on the table, I gave up the idea of ​​going to the balcony to change clothes first and sat directly on the chair next to the dining table: "Sister Lan Jiajia is so nice."

"When I was staying at a relative's house, their child didn't like eating eggs, saying they were stinky, and he also didn't like drinking milk without sugar."

Lan Jiajia smiled very gently, with an "old mother" expression: "Is Elodie not up yet?"

"She probably hasn't slept yet. Last night, when Nuoer and I were almost asleep, I could still vaguely hear the sound of her keyboard."

Yin Xiamo sat down next to me: "I suspect she might still be playing games now."

"She used to be like this. She played many of my accounts and didn't take care of her body at all."

Hearing Yin Xiamo say this, Lan Jiajia stood up and said, "I'll go call her and tell her to eat and go to sleep quickly."

"it is good."

Watching Lan Jiajia walk to the second floor of the house, I picked up the chopsticks and turned my gaze to the TV in the living room.

After a few days of "living together", Yin Xiamo, Lan Jiajia and Elodie and I can almost be said to have gotten used to each other.

Normally when we go to work and come home, we help each other in the coffee shop. After we come back, Elodie, as the "landlord", is mainly responsible for solving various problems in the house, such as paying the electricity and water bills. If she sees that there is not much toothpaste, facial cleanser, and shower gel left in the bathroom on the first floor, she will take the initiative to buy them and bring them over. If there is no paper towel in the living room, she will also replenish it. She almost covers all our "consumables" expenses.

I am responsible for the three meals a day here... I wouldn't say I am responsible, but basically I do it when I have time. In the morning, whoever gets up first between Lan Jiajia and I will go buy enough breakfast for four people. In the evening, I can make some desserts, such as mung bean porridge, ice jelly, jelly, etc. Occasionally, I will buy some fruit when I pass by a nearby stall. Lan Jiajia's "work" is similar to mine. She cooks dinner and breakfast when she has time. If she sees that there are no drinks or ingredients in the refrigerator, she will go buy some. If the eggs, corn, sweet potatoes, etc. in the kitchen are almost gone, I will bring some back when I buy groceries.

If neither of us has time and we are too hungry to wait, we can order takeout or eat at a nearby fast food restaurant.

As for Yin Xiamo, she has almost become the "nanny" of this house, doing things like sweeping and mopping the floor, dealing with dust, washing clothes, watering the flowers, maintaining the balcony... these are all done by Xiaomo.

The four of us formed a very tacit team. No one cared about how much money was spent on groceries, nor would we calculate whether I bought four dishes and a soup today and you bought rice noodle rolls for ten dollars tomorrow and we lost money. No one ever mentioned this and we lived a simple and tacit life.

"In addition, the strong typhoon 'Orchid' is accelerating towards the southern cities of our country. The wind force level of this typhoon is 15... According to the current track and speed of Typhoon Orchid, it is expected to arrive in Kamihama City in about two days. Kamihama City has issued an orange warning signal. Citizens, especially those living in coastal areas, are requested to take precautions."

While sitting at the dining table in the living room eating noodles, I saw the TV in front of me broadcasting the weather forecast for Kamihama City that day.

"typhoon?"

As I cracked the boiled eggs, I asked curiously, "What is a Category 15 typhoon?"

"do not know."

Yin Xiamo shrugged: "Didn't you say there are still two days?"

"There are still two days left. Jiang Wei's wedding is this afternoon. If the typhoon suddenly speeds up and comes over, the coffee shop will be..."

Although the location of the coffee shop at a high point in the Minami Nagi district is very attractive, it also brings a very fatal flaw - if there is any natural disaster, this will be the first place to suffer losses.

After peeling the egg, I handed the egg in my hand to Xiaomo beside me, then took her egg, cracked it open, peeled it with one hand while picking up the phone.

"Typhoons are divided into six categories. The first three categories are tropical depression, tropical storm and severe tropical storm, with wind speeds ranging from level 6 to level 11."

I read the search results on my phone: "A typhoon is a force 11 or higher, a strong typhoon is a force 14 or 15, and a super typhoon is a force 16 or higher... This Typhoon Lanhua is getting close to being a super typhoon."

Yin Xiamo next to him suddenly asked, "How does the typhoon here compare to a nuclear bomb?"

"This...how can this be compared?"

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "A nuclear bomb is... well, an explosion, and there is nuclear radiation. Moreover, different specifications of nuclear bombs cause different destructive power. After an explosion, what's left is nuclear radiation. A typhoon is a continuous physical damage. But if you have to compare, a strong typhoon is indeed not as destructive as a nuclear bomb. Why are you asking this?"

"I thought about this problem before I came to this world, and I made plans for the worst. At that time, I was researching... what to do if we were attacked by the most powerful weapon in this world. I even looked up information about the most powerful weapon on Earth."

"Shouldn't you..."

I had just peeled the egg and put it in my bowl to eat it when I was so scared that my hands started shaking: "You're not going to tell me that you can handle a nuclear bomb, are you?"

"What do you think, kitten?"

Yin Xiamo was noncommittal: "In my eyes, ordinary Earthlings have almost no combat power. Our world is an advanced and complete version of Earth's. The nuclear bombs here are equivalent to the...highest level of magic over there? It's about that level, not even as strong as forbidden magic."

Is it so exaggerated!

"What would it be like if magicians from another world really started fighting? Would they throw Big Ivan at each other?"

When I think of that scene, I feel my own insignificance: "So the security of a country cannot be guaranteed at all? Even the most advanced magic is like this, can the forbidden spell destroy the world?"

"It was pretty much like this in the early stages. If there weren't enough magic shields to deal with it, the enemy mage would cast a top-level spell and a city would be destroyed. But in the later stages, the Demon King's army was almost wiped out, and human cities were built. High-level magic formed a kind of existence between human cities, similar to the nuclear deterrent here."

Yin Xiamo ate the eggs I peeled while speaking incoherently: "As for forbidden spells... most of these magics don't have offensive properties, but their value is higher than the highest level magic."

Like...elixir of life, or soul magic or something like that?

"Then I..."

I asked tentatively, "Can I learn magic?"

"If it were in another world, this body of yours would be the best magic embryo, but not here."

Yin Xiamo said seriously: "The earth does not have any magic power, so I can't learn it..."

As they were chatting, Lan Jiajia came down from the second floor holding Elodie, who had obvious dark circles under her eyes. "What are you two talking about? Magic?"

"Yes, we are discussing whether we can use some magic to drive this typhoon back."

I pointed to the typhoon weather forecast on the screen in front of me. “It would be terrible if it came directly towards Kamihama City.”

Speaking of typhoons, Kamihama City did experience several "typhoon landfalls" a long time ago.

The most terrifying typhoon that hit the landfall was more than ten years ago, when I was still in high school.

At that time, the city directly issued a notice - due to the landing of a strong typhoon, all schools and employers in the city were closed, and everyone in the city was required to stay at home. As a boarding student, I stayed in the student dormitory and watched the wind outside getting stronger and stronger, and the water on the ground getting more and more. In less than half a day, the first floor of the dormitory was flooded.

What followed was power outages and water shortages, and a red alert was issued throughout the city.

It is said that the situation in Minami Nagi Port during those days was even more tragic than in the urban area. The typhoon triggered a huge tsunami, many fishing boats and cruise ships were washed ashore, and the containers at the dock were floating everywhere with the sea water. The entire city was on the verge of paralysis, and the economic losses brought about were innumerable.

It was also after this that the city increased its prevention measures against natural disasters, reinforced many buildings, and replanned the city's drainage system.

The current typhoon is obviously not as strong as the original one, and all I received on my mobile phone was an orange warning. But every time I think of the scene at that time, I still feel a lingering fear. Every time I see news about a typhoon landing, I can't help but feel nervous.

"This is an old house. It can withstand a 16-level typhoon. It's fine."

Elodie sat down next to me with a pair of panda eyes, picked up the chopsticks, and took a look at the beef: "Jia Jia, why don't you put chili in it?"

"You're going to sleep soon, why are you eating spicy food?"

Lan Jiajia was shocked: "Aren't you afraid of getting diarrhea in the middle of the night?"

"Don't worry, I've never had diarrhea from eating spicy food."

Elodie said dissatisfiedly: "Is there any chili sauce in the kitchen?"

"Yes, there are some, but they are all raw peppers. I bought them at the supermarket last night. They haven't been made into sauce yet."

Lan Jiajia frowned: "It's really not good to eat spicy food before going to bed."

Elodie raised her head, looking pitiful: "I want to eat."

Lan Jiajia said firmly: "No."

"is it okay……"

Elodie stood up on tiptoe and grabbed Lan Jiajia's shoulders with both hands: "Aren't you my love? Can you bear to watch... a cute poisonous plant like me... rolling on the ground in anger and anxiety because I can't eat the chili?"

"The chances of you rolling on the floor are smaller than the chances of Noelle's breasts becoming B cups tomorrow."

Lan Jiajia rolled her eyes at Elodie and said, "How should I ask for help?"

puff……

As I was eating noodles and preparing to watch the show, I felt as if something was piercing my chest.

What do you mean my breasts will become a B cup tomorrow? Are you offended by my small breasts?

I lowered my head with dissatisfaction and looked at the poor rabbit inside my pajamas.

It seems... apart from the cute shape, it really... has no advantages.

"My dear wife!"

Facing Lan Jiajia's "old mother" look, Elodie said without hesitation: "My dear wife, I know you are the best! Please help me make chili sauce, please!"

"I'm going to work with Nuo'er and the others in a while. I have to take care of Ye Zi's wedding in the afternoon."
