Conan: The Self-cultivation of Fake Wine

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 356 In my dream, I didn’t realize that autumn was already deep

Hattori and Haha's flight was at noon the next day.

Early the next morning, Lu Ren and the others started packing their things, reloading the camping equipment into the car, and bagging and taking away the garbage generated by the camping.

After working like this for a while, at ten o'clock in the morning, Lu Ren drove Hattori and his wife to Narita Airport in Tokyo. Conan also came over to see them off.

The doctor took the other four little ones back to his home and said that he suddenly remembered that he had a wedding invitation that he would send back tomorrow. But he couldn't remember exactly where the invitation letter was, so he planned to go home and look for it.

Lan also had other things to do. There was a new limited edition brand-name bag released today. She and Yuanzi ran to the sales point in advance to queue up.

As relatively fully evolved carbon-based organisms, most humans have a hidden switch in their bodies. When you hear the keyword, this switch will be activated, then sanity -N, desire to buy +N. The unknown number N is linked to one's own economic level and degree of self-control.

For example, most of the keywords that turn on the male switch are high-tech electronic equipment, discounted games, brand-name sneakers, and black silk. cough.

Female keywords are mostly brand-name cosmetics, brand-name bags, brand-name clothes...

In addition, there is a common keyword for both men and women. That's it - limitation. Once restrictions are added to anything, the desire to buy it will definitely increase. If you fill in another suffix - after this time limit, the item will be out of print. Then the desire to buy will probably be overwhelming.

To take a less appropriate example, an artist's paintings become more valuable after the artist himself dies. Because it's out of print.

Take for example today’s new limited edition designer bags. Keywords: brand-name bags, important prefix restrictions. Once the two are superimposed, the switch is activated.

If she and Ye hadn't taken the flight at noon today, she would have already queued up with Lan and the others. Not only Kazuye, but also Haibara's eyes lit up when she first heard the news. But she didn't go along because she didn't want to spend time in line unless the bag was Prada.

……

After seeing off the young couple in Osaka, Lu Ren drove Conan back home. Then the shower was turned on, Lu Ren took a shower, and Conan took a bath.

As the only strong worker in the camp yesterday, Lu Ren did the most work. It’s just that his physical fitness is better than Hattori’s, he looks effortless and barely breaks a sweat. But it must be dirty. It was washed in the river yesterday. I'll give it a good wash when I come back today.

Conan was sitting in a bathtub full of water, soaking and watching Lu Ren wash. He watched the hot water wet Lu Ren's hair and face, covering his entire upper body and all the way down.

At this point, Conan looked away.

……

In Conan's view, Lu Ren's physical fitness is quite outstanding. It is different from the gnarled muscles and distinct muscles of bodybuilders. Except for his abdominal muscles, the other muscle lines on Lu Ren's body are not obvious. Combined with his height, wearing clothes even makes him look thin. But Conan knew that this was just an illusion. Lu Ren's overall muscle lines are very smooth, like an agile cheetah, containing extremely powerful explosive power.

only……

"You finished fishing yesterday. At least you put on your clothes when you came back. You came back shirtless." Conan half complained, half dissatisfied.

"What's the problem?" Lu Ren closed his eyes and started to apply shampoo on his head.

"What a big problem!" Conan pointed at Lu Ren, "You don't even look at how many scars you have on your body."

Yes, if Lu Ren's body was smooth and undamaged, there might still be some beauty. At least I am qualified to be an art model for others. Unfortunately it's not.

Deep or shallow scars crisscrossed Lu Ren's body, like scarlet lines unintentionally carved by a delirium when he was talking. Not to mention the shallow ones, the deep scars were like dark red centipedes, twisting ferociously on Lu Ren's back. It adds a bit of ferocity to it.

Knife wounds, gunshot wounds, and more injuries that Conan couldn't recognize. This is not an injury that an ordinary reporter can cause.

When Lu Ren appeared shirtless in front of everyone, Xiaolan and Ye were not shy. They were caught off guard and frightened.

"I said that I used to be a war reporter, so it's normal for me to have more scars on my body. You're just a normal ghost. Do you think Xiaolan and the others believe it?"

"It doesn't matter whether they believe it or not." Lu Ren finished washing his hair and sat down with his back to Conan, "Help me rub my back."

"Oh."

After taking a shower, Lu Ren took Conan to have something to eat at a restaurant near his home. During this period, he had phone calls with Haiyuan and Lan respectively.

The doctor still didn't find the invitation letter, but turned the house into a mess. Conan was going to go back and help him find it himself.

Xiaolan was still waiting in a long line, and her companion Yuanzi ran to pack hamburgers for lunch.

Speaking of this, Conan remembered what happened yesterday and began to complain that Lu Ren cheated him, saying that Lan's attitude towards him was obviously wrong now, and he always felt that she might have seen something.

In this regard, Lu Ren said that he had bought a cemetery with good Feng Shui for him.

"I don't know if I can talk about other things. But about the two of us taking a shower together, who pressed your head and forced you to take a shower with her? Just wish yourself well, kid. You can't escape for the rest of your life. Unless You choose to just let it go.”

Conan was speechless.

……

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the car arrived at the Rice Flower Cafe. Conan got off the car here and prepared to walk back to the doctor's house.

Lu Ren also proposed to sit in the store and order a cake for the two of them. Conan firmly rejected this proposal, saying that he was eager to return home. Lu Ren didn't force it anymore.

After watching Conan leave, Lu Ren parked the car and opened the door and entered the cafe.

"Brother Ren, roar in the afternoon! Long time no see, I'm back!"

Shiina Hana, who was wearing an employee apron, suddenly jumped in front of Lu Ren.

Lu Ren rubbed her head. "Welcome back."

Last night, Shiinahua had a phone call with Lu Ren and told him that she had returned to the cafe.

Lu Ren sat in his special seat. Shiina Hana sat opposite him and looked out the window.

"Brother Ren, where is your new car? I heard from Sister Junhui that you bought a new car. It's a bright gray large off-road vehicle."

Lu Ren replied: "Take it to wash. Next time I drive over and let you have a look."

Shiina Hana nodded fiercely.

"By the way, shouldn't you ask me what I want to drink now?" Lu Ren joked, "Have you stayed at home for too long and forgotten all the basic skills?"

"Excuse me sir, what do you want to drink?"

The person who said this...was not Shiina Hana.

Lu Ren looked up when he heard the sound and saw Shimabukuro Kime, who was also wearing an employee apron. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Jun Hui, why are you still here?"

Shimabukuro Kimie replied: "It's boring to stay at home. Just keep working here. You have free time, you can come when you want, and you can't come if you don't want to. I don't want a salary, I just eat some of the cakes and desserts here."

Working for free is okay.

Hey~

Earth online version updated. The rare character Hana Shiina returns to the game, and the limited character Shimabukuro Kimie becomes a permanent character.

"As long as you are happy." Lu Ren added in a low voice, "As long as you are not paid to work."

Shimabukuro June smiled and said: "It's not bad. I like it here very much, and I also like making cakes. Now I'm learning to make cakes and drinks with the boss. Just treat yourself as an apprentice without a salary. Maybe in the future. One day, I will also open my own cake shop."

Lu Ren held his chin and roughly calculated the accounts. "Judging from the salary I'm offering you now, you probably won't be able to wait until that day."

"..." After a while of silence, Shimabukuro Kime smiled and stretched out his hand, "So, boss, give me a salary increase?"

"Bring me a cup of bitter coffee, hot, without sugar."

"Hmph╭(╯^╰)╮."

After Shimabukuro Kimie turned around and left, Lu Ren looked at Shiina Hana, who was having fun, and said warmly: "Little Hana, have the test results come out? How did you do in the test? Do you feel confident?"

cough cough cough.

Shiina Hana coughed a few times, straightened her back and said seriously, "After this period of study, I deeply understand a truth."

"tell me the story."

"That is, every thought you had in the past that you wanted to study seriously might be your future self desperately asking for help."

"So." Lu Ren smiled, "Did you fail the test?"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

ps: Shiina Hana returns. It’s still easy to write my own character. When writing other people's roles, you have to worry about whether they are OOC or not.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 357 Is the lingering love for others?

Shiina Hana lay on the table, holding her head and sobbing, as if to prevent Lu Ren from hitting her head.

In fact, Lu Ren did have this plan. Just not too hard. However, after seeing her gesture, he gave up the idea and instead picked up the hot coffee handed to him by Shimabukuro Kimie and sipped it slowly.

Coincidentally, they are both seventeen years old.

Mao Lilan, a sophomore in high school, lives a somewhat profound life. Her innate personality and acquired experience make her too gentle and too mature. Always smile and be decent in front of others. This kind of personality is not bad, but sometimes I have some scruples when dealing with people. I always feel that this should be her ideal look ten years from now, when she is twenty-seven. She is like what parents call "other people's children."

——Mature and sensible, with good academic performance, good sports performance, and has won various awards.

On the contrary, Shiina Flower is much more lively. Stumbling and swaying. Will always feedback the truest emotions to others. Her troubles and joys are clearly visible.

When I stay with her, I always feel very relaxed, with an indescribable but real sense of lightness.

After sipping the coffee for a while, Lu Ren put down the cup and said, "Get up, are you afraid that I won't beat you?"

Shiina Hana put her hands down and stretched before getting up.

"Actually, it's not bad. It's just that a few subjects are too difficult and I can't get an excellent grade, but passing them is definitely no problem."

"As long as you have a sense of discretion in your own mind."

"Yeah." Shiinahua nodded. Seeing that Lu Ren didn't seem to want to delve deeper into the results, she quickly changed the topic and said excitedly: "By the way, Brother Ren, the photo I sent you yesterday, you Did you read it?"

"Looked."

Last night when a group of them were watching the fireworks on the top of the mountain, Lu Ren received an email from Shiina Hana. In the email were some photos she took at the fireworks display.

"I came here specifically to find you yesterday. I was going to ask you to go to the fireworks display with me. But you weren't there."

Lu Ren sighed, "I went camping in the mountains. If I had known there was a fireworks display tonight yesterday, I probably wouldn't have gone camping."

The fireworks show that everyone talked about last night was actually a summer fireworks display. That is, the fireworks display that appears very frequently in various Japanese campus romance comics or romance novels.

Having read a lot of Japanese comic novels, Lu Ren is naturally no stranger to them. Every July and August, fireworks displays are held in many places across Japan, usually lasting one to two days.

To be honest, Lu Ren is not very interested in this. At his age, talking about the beautiful memories of youth is purely against himself.

But he was interested in taking Haibara to see the fireworks show. She is still young and has enough time and reasons to make up for the beautiful memories she has never experienced.

They can watch fireworks, visit temple fairs, eat snacks, fish for goldfish, and play shooting games...

In addition, Lu Ren also wants to buy a few more kimonos for Haiyuan, which will definitely look good.

It's a pity that the fireworks display near Yoneka Town only lasts for one day. I can only wait until next time.

Lu Ren took out his phone, clicked on his mailbox, and pulled out the photo that Shiina Hua sent him last night.

The first photo was taken by Xiaotong when she was visiting the temple fair.

In the photo, Shiina Hana is wearing a light pink kimono, wearing wooden geta barefoot, and a white fox mask hanging on her head. She faced the camera and happily extended her hand to make a V, holding a bright red whole candy apple in her left hand. At least the side facing the camera is intact.

As mentioned before, people in Ke Xue's world are generally good-looking. But even so, when I see certain people, I still subconsciously lament the partiality of the Creator.

"Doesn't it look good?" Shiina Hana said proudly. She obviously knew this too.

"Well, it's quite cute." Lu Ren returned.

"Just cute? Can't you use some other adjectives?" Shiinahua clapped her fingers, "gentle, mature, intellectual, elegant, generous..."

Lu Ren was very happy to hear this. He pressed the key on his phone and pulled out another photo sent by Shiina Flower.

In the photo, she is squatting next to a small pool, fishing for goldfish in the pool with a paper net bag. There were six or seven damaged net bags stacked beside her feet, and she held five or six net bags in her hands.

"What's wrong with scooping up goldfish? A lot of people are doing it! I just scooped up more often!"

"Of course there's no problem with catching the goldfish. But before you do that..." Lu Ren pointed to a certain part of the photo, "Shouldn't you wipe the syrup off your mouth first?"

Shiinahua wiped her mouth subconsciously and murmured in a low voice, "Observe so carefully. Care about everything and be careful not to have a girlfriend."

"You don't have to worry about it." Lu Ren looked calm. An attack of this level was not painful at all. He flipped through other photos sent by Shiina Hana, including looking up at the fireworks, squatting on the ground and setting off fireworks, and a photo taken with Kiri Shiina standing together.

Shiina Kiri wore a navy blue kimono and had the same big eyes as his sister. The two stood together, and Xiaotong was slightly taller than his sister. He smiled reservedly into the camera of his mobile phone.

"Xiaotong looks more mature than you."

"..."

"Those adjectives you just mentioned can probably be applied to you in ten years."
