I will never give in to Miss Death

what?

I was stunned for a moment: "You don't look at the turtle, but at me?"

What does the poem say? You are on the bridge looking at the scenery, and the people looking at the scenery are looking at you?

Others have so many little turtles! Xiaomo, why don’t you go and take a look? Why are all the attention on me?

"This type of turtle is called a flame turtle. It is very easy to raise. It can be used as a medicinal material, as a meat turtle, or as an ornamental turtle. The price is very stable, so it can be considered an investment."

Ye Zi seemed to enjoy watching Yin Xiamo and I play around with each other, and said with a smile, "In addition to this, we also have a lot of golden turtles over there."

As she spoke, Ye Zi walked to the other side of the vat, took off the cloth on the top, and then turned on the light next to it with a "click".

"Golden coin turtles are very expensive, the price is stable, and they are relatively easy to raise. However, because the reproduction rate of this turtle is really too slow, the return of funds is slow. But it doesn't matter. It's better to be slow. Jiang Wei has been tired for so many years. It's good to let him take care of the turtles and play games every day."

I followed it and looked at the "golden coin turtle" which was darker in color than the fire turtle. Listening to Ye Zi's words, I felt like I had learned a lot.

"Is Jiang Wei no longer in the computer business?"

"Yes, but I take care of it most of the time. When he was doing this before, he promised to open 24 hours a day, but he was still there installing the machine at or in the morning, which made him sick."

Ye Zi sighed: "I snatched his computer store from the Internet. From now on, he will honestly raise turtles here. I will supervise him to rest."

When saying these words, Ye Zi acted like a boss of a housewife. I seemed to have seen Jiang Wei's future of being a henpecked husband.

But it’s good to think about it this way.

When playing games before, Jiang Wei did say that he had been "getting more and more tired" in recent years. Although he decided to "lie down", after all, as a novel author, he still has a computer store to look after in reality and an online account to manage, so he has very little rest time every day.

In the past, our author group basically consisted of me, Jiang Wei, and Pipi. Occasionally, Ji Tu Tonglong, also known as Su Yunjin, would come in to replace one of them. Not to mention Su Yunjin, when playing games, the three of us would basically have "drop chains" - in my case, it was a problem with the computer hardware. My old computer would freeze or crash all the time, and the old graphics card and monitor were not suitable for playing competitive games, or the network in the small apartment would fluctuate, resulting in disconnection.

As for Pippi's "accidents", it was when his daughter ganked. Often during a game, little Pippi would drop her toys and cry, or she would want to eat, or she would go to her father's computer desk and cry. At this time, Pippi would have to give up the game and coax his daughter.

As for "Marisa's Iron Butt", it was purely due to physical reasons. Jiang Wei would often say during the fight that he felt dizzy and wanted to take a break, or that he had a stomachache and wanted to take a break.

This is a common problem among middle-aged people, and Jiang Wei used to go hungry. According to him, during the poorest period, he owed money and was harassed by debt collectors everywhere. He could only sleep under bridges and look for jobs everywhere. Once, he was so tired that he fell asleep while standing on the bus. When he woke up, he had been sent to the hospital. Passersby said they thought he had a cerebral thrombosis and called 120.

For some reason, looking at the little turtle in the pond and thinking about Jiang Wei and Ye Zi in real life, I subconsciously turned to Yin Xiamo beside me.

"Yes."

As I looked at her in horror, Yin Xiamo seemed to be thinking, "I think I can... let Nuo'er concentrate on being cute every day, and then I can go out to work and support the family?"

"No, no, no, this is wrong. This is not good."

I quickly pulled the girl over and said, “Our family…our family’s situation is different, we can’t generalize.”

"Ding dong!"

As he was talking, the sound of the door opening came from downstairs, followed by Jiang Wei's slightly embarrassed voice: "Well... ahem, Mayor Ye, our house has just been renovated, we just... just moved in, so it's a bit messy, please don't mind."

"Haha, Brother Jiang Wei, I told you not to be so nervous. Others have arranged their schedules for today. These two hours are private time, and they don't even bring bodyguards."

After Su Yunjin finished speaking, a slightly mature female voice followed: "There is no such thing as disdain or not disdain. You and I are just ordinary people, right?"

"Oh, here they come."

Ye Zi on the third floor heard the noise downstairs and stuck her head toward the stairs: "It really is the mayor. This is the first time I've seen her anywhere other than on TV."

I followed him and looked down curiously.

As Yin Xiamo and I watched, a middle-aged woman with short hair and dressed very neatly in a black suit and trousers was walking up the stairs, "surrounded" by Jiang Wei and Su Yunjin.

"Xiao Mo."

I couldn't help myself and whispered to Yin Xiamo: "You weren't really captured by a satellite when you were photographing the typhoon, were you?"

"How can it be."

Yin Xiamo answered seriously: "I have studied the technology of this world, and it is impossible to fight against magic."

So the mayor is coming here...

"So fast?"

While they were wondering, Ye Zi beside them had already trotted down the stairs and said to them in a half-joking tone: "The mayor is visiting our humble home. This... we are flattered."

"Hey, I already said I'm just here as a friend."

The middle-aged woman pointed at Su Yunjin and said in a joking tone, "Or is it that your circle of young people doesn't welcome an old lady like me?"

"No, no, no, how could that be possible? Welcome, you're welcome anytime!"

Ye Zi waved towards me: "Nuo'er, Xiaomo, come here."

"You... hello."

I walked down nervously and looked at Mayor Ye who was walking up from the first floor: "Um, I... Ahem, nice to meet you."

It was obvious that the mayor of Kamihama City must have taken time out of his busy schedule to come visit Jiang Wei in a private capacity.

As for why she came back and what her main purpose was, I have no idea.

"Hey, you two should be the two who are very popular on the Internet recently..."

Seeing me, the middle-aged woman waved her hand very kindly and said, "Let me think... one is Yin Nuoer and the other is Yin Xiamo, right?"

"Hmm, hello."

I thought about it and added, "Mayor."

"Don't call me mayor all the time. I'm just an ordinary citizen in private. Haha, I came here today just to chat with you guys."

The middle-aged woman signaled Su Yunjin with her eyes: "His uncle and I are old acquaintances. I heard about the things happening in Nannai District recently. In addition, the coffee shop and the pedestrian street commercial street have just started. I just checked it out online and found that the coffee shop is doing well and keeping up with the times. There are maids and this... promotional video and so on. I was thinking if I could ask Su Yunjin for a favor. If you are all friends, why don't you get together privately."

The middle-aged woman took out a large box from her bag and handed it to Jiang Wei: "I heard from Su Yunjin that you like playing games. Here, a PS4, purchased from overseas. It was just sent back yesterday. It's guaranteed to be new!"

"Wow, Mayor Ye, you are..."

Jiang Wei didn't know whether to accept it or not: "This is too expensive."

"It's okay, it's okay. Here's a set of cosmetics. I was too busy before and couldn't come to attend your wedding. This is my compensation."

Mayor Ye then handed a large box to Ye Zi and said, "I wish you a long and happy marriage and a son soon."

After this operation, the extremely serious image of "Mayor Ye" in my mind disappeared, and he became an ordinary person like us. The tense atmosphere in the room dissipated a lot at once.

"Finally, it's your turn. I don't know what you like, but this bracelet was made with the help of a master craftsman from the next city. It may look gorgeous to you, but it's not expensive. However, there is only one pair of them in the world."

Finally, "Mayor Ye" took out two small boxes that looked like jewelry from her bag and handed them to me and Yin Xiamo respectively.

"Eh?"

I took the box subconsciously, feeling a little embarrassed: "Thank...thank you."

The mayor personally delivered the gift...what does this mean?

And she not only sent Xiaomo and me, but also Jiang Wei and Ye Zi. I can't say that she came just for me.

"Don't stand at the door, come in."

Perhaps seeing that I didn't know what to say, Jiang Wei quickly gestured to the inner room: "Let's talk inside if you have anything to say, haha."

"..."

Three minutes later, Yin Xiamo and I sat on a small sofa in the living room on the second floor of Jiang Wei's house. I put on a small silver bracelet on my left hand and Yin Xiamo put on her right hand.

This bracelet is very delicate and small. You can hardly feel anything when you wear it. There is half a sea-blue heart gem in the middle of my bracelet, and there is a red gem on Yin Xiamo's side. The two gems together can just form a complete two-color heart.

It is said that these two gems are made of natural agate. Due to their small size and the fact that the master craftsman himself is a bit "indifferent to fame and fortune", they are not sold to the public. So Mayor Ye gave them to us.

"We didn't cook anything today, just some milk and some cakes."

Ye Zi poured milk for the people around the coffee table, then put the small cakes on the table, and then put the washed grapes on it: "I'll go make some juice, you guys chat."

"it is good."

Su Yunjin was very familiar: "Sister-in-law, I want apple juice!"

"What's happening here?"

Seeing Mayor Ye talking to Jiang Wei over there, I lowered my voice and said to Su Yunjin, "What does the mayor want to talk to me about?"

"I am not sure as well."

Su Yunjin said while chewing grapes. As if afraid that I would misunderstand, she added, "I really don't know. She used her private time to sneak out. I guess it's not something too official."

At this moment, I felt my left hand being held.

"Noer, you are a little too nervous."

Turning my head, I saw Yin Xiamo on the side smiling and saying, "It's okay, I'm here. It looks like just an ordinary gathering of friends."

Just an ordinary gathering of friends?

I looked at Jiang Wei who was chatting with the mayor, and then at Su Yunjin who was eating grapes.

Hmm...it seems to be the case?

"I bet the mayor just came over to chat with us and make himself known to us."

In a trance, Yin Xiamo whispered in my ear: "That's the intuition of their class, just like Su Yunjin."

intuition?

I am even more confused.

"Noer, your appearance... is too cute. Ordinary people might just think you are beautiful and have good skin, but people of their class would try to get to know us first when they see us, because we are very special and beyond their understanding of the world."

Yin Xiamo beside me turned her little hand over, so that her palm was placed against my palm, with our five fingers interlocked.

"It's okay, just chat with them casually. It's not convenient to talk here. We can talk about some special private matters when we get to the island later."

"..."

……

No, 188 Nothing can stop

To entertain us, Jiang Wei's wife Ye Zi worked in the kitchen for a while and made a plate of exquisite fruit milk and a large bowl of porridge that looked like rice and corn.

"You've worked hard. Come, Nuoer, have some fruit."

Putting a bowl of milk with strawberries and apples in front of Yin Xiamo, me and the mayor, Ye Zi gestured to the big bowl of porridge and said, "We were in such a hurry that we didn't prepare anything. Do you want to cook some vegetables?"

"no, I'm fine."

Mayor Ye, who was sitting in the middle of the dining table, said quickly, "Just be casual. Aren't you and Su Yunjin old friends? There's no need to do so much for old friends."

"Su Yunjin and I are not old friends at all."

Jiang Wei on the side joked, "He is the son of the big boss of Tongmeng.com and that company. He is a real rich second-generation young master. His family has several helicopters. We usually play games together. We have really only met a few times in real life."

As he spoke, Jiang Wei signaled me with his eyes: "If we talk about old friends, Su Yunjin and Nuo'er are probably old friends. Nuo'er works in the coffee shop, and Su Yunjin's father's company has supported the coffee shop's work... No, it seems that our relationship is not that close, haha."

"Don't, don't..."

I followed Jiang Wei's words and said, "Brother Yunjin and I are not old friends. I am just an ordinary worker."

"I finally figured it out."

Su Yunjin, who was at the side, was drinking fruit milk while saying in an exaggerated tone, "You guys are teaming up to tease me, right?"

"No, I'm telling the truth."

Jiang Wei casually used a bowl to pour himself a portion of corn porridge: "You suddenly brought such a big shot here, and we, the common people... um, right?"

"Hey, are you used to eating corn porridge here?"

Seeing the bowls on the table, Mayor Ye took the initiative to start a conversation: "My folks in my hometown often make this. Every time I go back to visit my relatives, every household has a big pot of corn porridge for breakfast, corn porridge with pickles or salted fish and bacon for lunch, and corn porridge again in the evening, with a few stir-fried dishes."

Mayor Ye asked curiously, "Jiang Wei, where is your hometown?"

"Me? I...well, my hometown is in Jingzhou."

"Jingzhou Textile Village?"

"The neighboring village, the textile village, is not far from my hometown."

"Oh, then we are from the same hometown. My hometown is next to the textile village."

"real or fake?"

"Really? Isn't there a long river behind the Textile Village? People over there call that river the Landlady River. The Textile Village is upstream, and my hometown is downstream. There are only a few families over there, and it's all high mountains. I came from there."
