I will never give in to Miss Death

Turning around, I walked on the tree-lined path in the community filled with the scent of plants and flowers. The more I thought about it, the angrier I got, and subconsciously glanced at Yin Xiamo next to me.

Today she was wearing that summer-style black dress, and for some reason her hips stood out from my angle, making her look much sexier than usual.

My eyes fell on the girl's buttocks, and then I lifted my feet wearing round-toed casual shoes.

"puff!"

"Ow!"

Knowing that I was just joking, Yin Xiamo screamed exaggeratedly, rubbed her butt, and then raised her foot and pointed it at my butt——

"puff!"

"Xiao Mo, you actually dare to fight back!"

I rushed towards the girl in front of me: "Don't think you are a god...don't run!"

"Hey hey hey, Nuoer's short legs can't catch up!"

Yin Xiamo in front of him had an expression that said "Come chase me!" "Little Loli, short legs, little milk teeth, little kitten, meow!"

"Who can meow?"

I quickened my pace: "Don't run!"

"Come and chase me. If you catch me, I will let you...hehehe..."

"..."

While chasing each other, Yin Xiamo and I quickly ran to the downstairs of Jiang Wei’s newly bought single-family house. Jiang Wei just opened the door and walked out. Seeing us, he subconsciously waved: "So early? Hey, you two..."

"Excuse me, little kitten Nuoer is getting angry, hehe."

Yin Xiamo was the first to enter Jiang Wei's room, and then said to Ye Zi inside: "Good morning, Sister Ye Zi, I'll leave the little kitten in the back to you."

"..."

……

Three minutes later, Yin Xiamo and I sat in Jiang Wei's living room and put the fruit on the small coffee table in the living room.

As the hostess here, Ye Zi poured each of us a cup of hot milk.

"Thank you."

I took the milk and took a sip: "Your new home is so beautiful."

Jiang Wei's small single-family house looks very much like European art from the outside. The house has three floors. The first floor is mainly a utility room and warehouse. I took a quick look when I passed by just now and found that it was full of computer accessories and various host monitors. The second floor is where they live. The area is very large, preliminarily estimated to be about 200 square meters, with a large living room, two bathrooms, three bedrooms, and an exquisite kitchen.

Especially the kitchen, I fell in love with it at first sight.

At this height... I shouldn't need a small stool to cook there, right?

This is exactly the kitchen I've always dreamed of! It's classy and short, so even a short person can stand and cook. When Xiaomo and I have a family in the future, we're going to decorate a kitchen like this.

"Thank you."

Ye Zi seemed to like the way Yin Xiamo and I looked, and half-jokingly asked, "Can we be considered neighbors at this distance?"

"Well... eh?"

I took another sip of milk. “It takes less than twenty minutes to get here from Minami-nagi.”

"twenty minutes?"

Ye Zi was stunned: "Did you come here by taxi?"

"No, a bicycle."

I signaled to Yin Xiamo beside me with my eyes: "She is a professional player."

In other words, faster than professional players.

She can use drainage ditches to turn, and she can also use her bicycle to drift downward, then use the heat generated by air friction and wheel rotation to collect N2O, and finally the back of the car will be on fire and the speed will be miles per hour.

Jiang Wei brought over a packaging box and a mouse pad. "Is that computer okay? Is there anything wrong with it?"

"Nothing wrong with it. It boots up really fast, and, uh... it types really smoothly."

I really don't know what to say to improve my mobile computer, so I just made one up: "Play APEX at a stable 60 FPS."

"Stable 60 FPS means your computer screen only supports 60 FPS at most, and you must have turned on vertical sync."

Jiang Wei put the large packaging box and mouse pad on the table: "Ye Zi told me before that you are still using a keyboard from a long time ago to type. This is an extra one in our store. It is suitable for typing. There is also this mouse pad with the same pattern as the computer case on it."

"This……"

I hesitated for a moment whether to accept it: "Is it expensive?"

"As an author, and a girl at that, don't use a bad keyboard when you're typing, or your hands will get hurt easily over time, like I did before, with recurring tendonitis for several years."

Jiang Wei smiled and said, "As for the money, I've told you many times before. The fortune teller predicted that we would have a disaster after we got married. You helped me avoid that disaster, but we still owe you money."

"It's not that weird."

Ye Zi covered her mouth and smiled: "Don't talk about this, you two are guests, just treat this as a gift."

"Well, a small gift, Noer, we are old friends, so don't talk about this."

Jiang Wei cleared his throat: "Today we invited you to come here, mainly to ask you for a favor..."

"Su Yunjin said that he was embarrassed to come to you guys, so he came to me."

"The mayor of Kamihama City wants to meet with you."

"..."

……

No. 187 Turtle Cat Rotating Cute

The mayor of Kamihama City? Want to see us?

Jiang Wei's words left me at a loss for words.

Before Yin Xiamo turned me into the little loli I am today, I had always been a very law-abiding person. Let alone people of the mayor's level, I didn't even know anyone who could be called an "official", including the school principal and even the dean of studies.

Because ordinary people are like this. If you want the principal to know you in school, you either have to be naughty to a certain extent, study well to a certain extent, or do bad things in school to a certain extent. For example, there was a person in our class in junior high school. Because his family was relatively wealthy, he had several thousand yuan in pocket money every month, and food expenses were separate. He did not study well in school day by day, and bribed students and teachers everywhere, even the truck driver who delivered food to the school cafeteria was bribed.

The result was that this student basically never attended school for a single day. Every day he rode in the driver's car to and from the campus, fought with others outside, looked for women, and got jealous. He caused a lot of cases and gave the principal a lot of headaches.

In addition, there was a genius in the school at that time. She maintained the top score in all subjects in the grade for three years of high school. She also participated in competitions in physics, chemistry, and computers, and won a lot of awards. Finally, she was admitted to Peking University. The principal personally awarded her a special award and transferred more than 500,000 yuan in scholarships to her in front of the whole school.

Firstly, I have a relatively honest personality and never cause trouble or violate discipline. Secondly, my family is poor and I don't even have a home, let alone make any big trouble. Let alone the principal, even if I go back to the school now to find my homeroom teacher or subject teachers and ask them who Yin Shiren is, I guess those teachers may not remember him.

Now Jiang Wei told me... Someone like me actually alerted the mayor directly? Without the deputy?

Previously, I looked for Su Yunjin because of the Xingguang Primary School issue. His background is quite complicated. I guess he is not just a "rich second generation" but may also be a "official second generation" as well. Then he contacted the deputy mayor and temporarily solved the problem of Xingguang Primary School. But at that time it was just a matter between the "adults" and had nothing to do with me, right?

At this moment, the only reason I could think of for the "mayor" to come to us was that Yin Xiamo was photographed by a satellite when she was "persuading" the typhoon to retreat, and even Xiaomo's use of magic in the eye of the storm was exposed. Because this matter is relatively anti-scientific, the mayor came to talk to us in person.

But when I think about it carefully, it doesn't make sense. Yin Xiamo has clearly claimed that nothing was exposed about the typhoon incident. The impression Xiaomo has given me during this month of getting along with her is that she is very reliable. Apart from the usual minor jokes and pranks, as long as she does something seriously and gives a positive answer, there will basically be no deviation.

Moreover, considering Xiaomo's age of over 6,000 years old, it is unlikely that she would make such a small mistake - unless modern technology has surpassed magic.

"Hmm...I don't really understand."

After listening to Jiang Wei's description, I hesitated for a moment and asked in a slightly naive tone: "Why does the mayor want to see us?"

Since we just came up directly on the first floor of Jiang Wei's house, we only know that it is a large warehouse. The second floor is very well decorated. There is a large living room as you enter the door, and the dining area on the right. Further in is the kitchen and the living room bathroom. On the left is a master bedroom and two small bedrooms. The master bedroom is connected to a small bathroom and balcony.

Maybe because Jiang Wei is older than me, an uncle, the decoration in the house is relatively "retro". Most of the furniture is made of wood, and it is the kind of wooden furniture carved with classical patterns. There are various paintings on the walls, giving it the feeling of... a wealthy man's small villa.

It was Ye Zi's request that I come to Jiang Wei's house as a guest. After they got married, Ye Zi said that since we live so close to each other, we can be considered neighbors in the future. Nuoer, you can come to our house and play on your day off. If you pass by the Glory Zone in the future, you can come in and visit at any time. So Yin Xiamo and I found a day off to visit the young couple.

"Oh, don't be nervous."

Perhaps he saw the worry on my face, Jiang Wei quickly waved his hand and said, "It's not an official meeting, but a private one."

"A private...meeting?"

I became even more curious: "Does the mayor know us?"

The mayor of Kamihama City... I remember correctly, she's a woman, right? She seems to be the first female mayor since the establishment of Kamihama City. She's said to be quite young, in her thirties but not yet forty. When I graduated from university, I lived in a small apartment and occasionally saw people in the WeChat group mention this female mayor. Her surname was Ye, but I didn't remember her name.

Apart from anything else, as a native of Kamihama, I do have some say in the changes in Kamihama City in recent years. Kamihama City did not develop well in the past, especially forty or fifty years ago. It was really a poor place through and through. I am not sure when Mayor Ye came to power. I only know that Kamihama City has developed rapidly in the past five years. Moreover, the situations often reported in other cities, such as "prove that your father is your father" and "the masses have to squat the whole time to get things done without even a chair", have hardly ever occurred in Kamihama City.

For example, as a novel author, we need to pay taxes as long as the royalties exceed 800 yuan. The calculation of this tax rate is a bit complicated, and it can be roughly understood as the total royalties multiplied by 14%. That is, if the monthly royalties are 1000 yuan, you have to pay 140 yuan in taxes, and you get 860 yuan. The website will temporarily pay the 140 yuan for you, and in the second year, the author can go to the tax bureau to apply for a "tax refund" by himself.

Most authors are eligible for this tax refund, unless they earn more than 100,000 yuan in royalties per month, or have other high-income jobs besides writing. These people have to "pay additional taxes". Even if you are a lazy author like me, who only pays about 200 yuan in taxes a month, it still adds up to 2,000 to 3,000 yuan a year. When it comes time to refund, you can go to the tax bureau and it's a considerable amount of money. When the "tax refund" service was first launched across the country, there were many misunderstandings, and they required proof of this and that. Only in Kamihama City the tax refund was very smooth, and the tax bureau's service was also very good. The authors in Kamihama City have all given us unanimous praise online.

Later, in order to provide faster services to such freelancers, an APP was launched online that could process tax refunds directly on mobile phones. Every second year, the author group would always hear complaints from authors about how their tax refund services were not being processed, why it was shown that they were not eligible and they had to take their ID cards to the tax bureau to process it, etc. At such times, Kamihama City was often very fast. While authors in other cities were still worried about not being able to log into the APP, or that the app was stuck or failing the review, authors in Kamihama City had already completed the tax refund process, and the money was credited to their accounts in less than a week.

Although I don’t know this female mayor, the development of Kamihama City in recent years is indeed visible to the naked eye, and the service in "official affairs" is also very good, so I still have a good impression of this mayor.

"You may not know her, it's okay, don't say you're nervous, I'm actually... I'm nervous too."

Facing the curious looks from Yin Xiamo and me, Jiang Wei took a bite of the grapes on the table and said, "The mayor said he would come to our house in a while, in a private capacity, and asked us not to be too formal, just treat us like old friends like Su Yunjin... I suspect Su Yunjin will come too."

As he was speaking, Jiang Wei's cell phone rang.

"Look, what did I say?"

Taking out his phone, Jiang Wei gestured at his phone screen: "Brother Long called, most likely they will come together."

Um... okay.

I cast a helpless look at Ye Zi standing aside.

After spending these few days together, Ye Zi still left a very good impression on me.

When she cosplayed as Edward Yeezy in his wedding dress in the coffee shop before, I was really shocked by the affectionate look she and Jiang Wei showed on the stage.

It’s like “I suddenly believe in love”.

Ye Zi has a very gentle personality. She is always "elegant" in her gestures and words. An idiom can be used to describe her as "Yamato Nadeshiko". Previously, Ye Zi helped to install the machine in Elodie's house. After the installation, she patiently explained to me the precautions of each accessory, as well as various computer-related knowledge. When she was with Jiang Wei, this elder sister completely entered the state of "wife".

I think any boy would fall for a girl like this, and a guy like Jiang Wei who has always claimed that "I will never get married or have children and just lie down and do nothing" is no exception.

At that time, I had even begun to imagine what my wedding would be like if I got married in the future.

You know, before this, I didn’t even dare to think about getting married.

"Hello? Oh, are you here? Are you outside the gate of the community? The guard won't let you in?"

Jiang Wei answered the phone in front of Yin Xiamo and me, and he didn't seem to be shy. He started chatting with the person on the other end of the phone: "Well, Brother Ji, you guys wait there. I'll go out and take you in. The underground garage here is a bit remote and may be difficult for you to find. Right, right, okay, I'll go out now."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Wei signaled us to be more casual: "I'm going to go out and pick someone up. Xiao Zi, you entertain them."

"We are old friends, so why bother entertaining others? Nuo'er doesn't like your way of doing things."

Ye Zi rolled her eyes at Jiang Wei, then turned around and said, "Nuo'er, Xiaomo, let's ignore them. Come, sister will take you up to see the turtle."

See... a turtle?

Confused, Yin Xiamo and I followed Ye Zi to the third floor of their house.

It was not until then that I realized that this house, strictly speaking, seemed to have four floors, and the fourth floor was an open-air balcony. The single-family houses we had seen along the way were basically of this design. The roof area was very large, and all kinds of flowers and plants could be planted on it - vegetables and fruit trees could be grown.

"Brother Jiang Wei has had a hard time these years. Something happened at home, so he ran away to work, saved some money, and then started his own business."

Taking the key to open the door on the third floor, Ye Zi walked into the floor filled with all kinds of large vats while talking: "He rented a store near the computer city before, but because he was too conscientious, he was excluded by his peers around him. Those unscrupulous businessmen sent messages to their customers and asked them to tell their relatives and friends which store in the computer city was a black shop. Within half a year, those who came to buy computers knew about Jiang Wei's store and stopped buying computers from him, even though they had never been to the store."

"Brother Jiang Wei couldn't pay the rent for the store and owed a lot of money. He was being chased by debt collectors. In order not to drag me down, he took the initiative to break off relations with me. He disappeared... for seven years."

Leading us to the largest metal vat in the middle, Ye Zi slowly uncovered the cloth on top of the vat: "For the past seven years, Jiang Wei has been working very hard. He has tried every possible way to make money, such as selling goods online, writing novels, and making videos... I heard from his friends that when he was working the hardest, Jiang Wei didn't rest for more than three hours a day on average for the whole year. It was also from that time that he started to suffer from many diseases. Until today, he is married now. I told him not to think about making money all the time, but to raise turtles at home and let me take care of the store."

As Ye Zi removed the cloth covering the large vat, I could hear the sound of some small animal crawling in the vat, which was so big that I could probably lie down and stretch my arms and legs.

I curiously leaned over and looked inside -

Lots of turtles.

There is an area in this tank that is full of water, which should be for the turtle to rest. The other side is dry. The type of turtle inside is not the "red-eared slider" that I have always been very familiar with, but a kind of... well, its back is a little fiery red, and the turtle's head looks very domineering.

The turtle inside is about the size of a palm. I'm not a professional and can't tell its age, but it should not be very big.

But it's cute in a very cute way.

At this time, several turtles did not seem to be afraid of people. They were looking at this side curiously with their little heads tilted up.

"Noel."

At this time, Yin Xiamo came over and said in a slightly infatuated voice: "You are wearing a cat bell, and then you stick your head in to look at the things inside. You look so cute like a curious little kitten..."
