Kevin was looking at the conversation in the upper right corner of the screen, about to reply, but he caught a glimpse of his supervisor out of the corner of his eye, so he immediately switched the screen back to the code interface.

"Ahem, I have good news and bad news. Which would you like to hear first?"

The supervisor cleared his throat, drawing everyone's attention.

Kevin: …

Seeing that his subordinates didn't seem very active, the supervisor coughed twice and knocked on the wall next to him.

"The good news is that a big company has approached us for a collaboration. If this deal goes through, everyone's salary this year will definitely double."

"As for the bad news... the collaboration was proposed by Bronya, the lead producer at Reson Studios. She's known in the industry for her discerning eye, so the next proposal will likely need to be revised multiple times."

Bronya?

Kevin blurted out without thinking, "Useless duck, useless duck, always in the top eight, occasionally in the top sixteen, a useless duck?"

Oh, by the way, this was Alicia's comment in the group chat, but Alicia also said it was something An Yu had said in the past, so Kevin just remembered it because it sounded natural.

director:……

The supervisor looked at Kevin with a complicated expression; he hadn't expected the kid to have such a sharp tongue.

Kevin immediately put on a stern face and remained silent, continuing to work with his head down.

"Everyone, get ready. If we can complete this order successfully, our company will also benefit, and we won't lack partners afterward."

After the supervisor left, Kevin suddenly remembered something and quickly went to check the members of Bronya's team.

Sure enough, An Yu's name was prominently listed.

Switching back to the group chat, it seemed that no one had come up with a solution yet, and the situation became even more chaotic after Mebius and Vervière got involved.

Kevin: "It seems like I'm going to be working with ResonStdios soon, so maybe I'll have a chance to get in touch with An Yu and try to persuade him for you."

Alicia: "Wow... Kevin, you're still so reliable."

Aponia: "The sibling relationship was damaged because of a bad friend, and the older sister still chose to believe the bad friend and let him interfere in family matters instead of explaining things herself?"

Sakura: Praying.jpg

Two women, both with years of work experience and not particularly eccentric personalities, were praying at the same time.

Alicia: ...

P.S. After the Paradise arc ended and Hoshino Ai pointed out the Great Wilderness Prison, no one could survive.

It reminds me of the paradise ruled by human laws.

I had a blast in the Abyss, 927, I never expected this.

Volume 11: Chapter 11 Is it the older sister who is disqualified or the younger brother?

Aponia makes sense, although Alicia doesn't understand why Aponia says she's the one being taken care of.

She rolled out of bed, her body still feeling a little weak, and she was also feeling unwell because she didn't have slippers. The cold floor was so uncomfortable to walk on. She should have gone back to bed yesterday.

She stormed into the living room, but hesitated along the way: should she be gentler, more assertive, or just pounce on her and act cute? Either way, it was one of her specialties.

but……

"What are you doing?"

"Playing games."

An Yu looked up, not understanding what was wrong with Alicia again.

What else can you do at home besides playing video games? Do housework? Don't be ridiculous, that's really unfair.

"...Waaaaah, Xiaoyu, is playing video games your way of sulking all by yourself?"

Alicia sniffed and quickly went over to find that An Yu was playing a stress-relieving game that wasn't competitive at all.

An Yu lowered her eyes again: "I have an appointment with a psychiatrist this afternoon, about three hours from now. I'll go after I finish eating, so don't think about running around."

He spoke calmly, as if nothing had happened.

"Xiaoyu?"

Alicia sat obediently to the side with her legs together, seemingly wanting to ease the tension between the siblings. She felt she needed to switch roles for the next few days... although she didn't dislike being the younger sister.

"What's up?"

An Yu continued slicing fruit on the screen. Of course, this wasn't the original version; it was a pirated copy, purely for decompression without a bunch of miscellaneous mini-games.

He cracked it, and this thing can be really stress-relieving sometimes. He doesn't use it for profit, and out of a sense of morality, he didn't even share it with his friends.

"I'm sorry... I should have told you this beforehand."

"unnecessary."

He didn't even look up. There was no need for that; what's done is done, and there's no point in apologizing afterwards—it's useless.

"Can't you even look up at me?"

Alicia suddenly felt a little wronged. Now she seemed like an immature child, even though she had earned their tuition fees through her live streams back then.

"...What you should do now is go back to your room, put on your slippers, chat with your friends, or continue with your weird job to kill some time until around 1 p.m., when I will take you to the hospital to have your brain checked."

An Yu's tone was very calm.

This made Alicia even more heartbroken; a group chat made it seem like she was about to sever her sibling relationship.

Boys are so heartless; they don't give you any room to soften your stance.

Alicia stood up angrily: "Isn't there anything you're hiding from me?"

Why does it seem like she committed some terrible crime in a group chat? She was having a great time during her university years.

Furthermore, an apology should be a matter between two people, and Xiaoyu showed no intention of cooperating at all.

An Yu looked up, and he chuckled softly, "So it is true, right? It's okay, what happened before is in the past, don't think about it too much, sis."

Woohoo T﹏T

Alicia's emotions collapsed instantly. She suspected that An Yu was lying to her, but the two knew each other very well and knew exactly how to make the other person break down.

"I was wrong, Xiaoyu."

She carefully tugged at An Yu's sleeve. Xiao Yu must have been really angry, so she started poking at her heart.

“I said I don’t need it!” An Yu’s voice finally showed some emotion.

"It's your business how you make friends. I also have my own friends, and it's fine for you to call them family. That's just your personality, and I've always known that."

However, after his rebirth, everything went too smoothly for him, giving him the dreamlike illusion that everything in his life was perfect.

It's just a return to reality now, but there's nothing wrong with that. There should be boundaries between people, and most of the time, it's those who don't know how to maintain boundaries who are disliked.

Alicia sobbed softly as she touched her heartless younger brother's cheek.

"Will you still give me the fried egg when we eat noodles in the future?"

An Yu: ...

"And when we eat spicy crayfish, will you still peel the shells for me?"

An Yu: ...

"From now on, when we eat watermelon, will I still be able to take a bite of your sweetest flesh?"

An Yu couldn't hold back anymore. Things that used to be insignificant now sounded so unjust to her.

"Alicia, why don't you go and ruin your future boyfriend's life? Whose younger brother is meant to be bullied?!"

Thinking about it carefully, I wonder if the fact that I've never been in a relationship despite having such a dreamy life is because I was tricked by Alicia, which led me to have some unrealistic fantasies about love.

An Yu held his head, suspecting that Alicia was deliberately poking his heart right now.

"But we've always been like this since we were little."

"I!……"

Heh, heh heh!

An Yu suddenly covered her face and burst out laughing, "Damn it, Alicia, if you keep arguing, I'll want to kill you."

Sigh, playing the lawn-cutting game is still better. He remembered the second level of that little game, which he hadn't tried yet.

But given the current situation, playing games is definitely not an option.

"Then explain it."

"What the heck is this 'loving family' thing? I'm not angry, tell me slowly."

After chuckling for a long time, An Yu leaned back on the sofa, relieved.

"This is my college roommate."

An Yu quipped, "13 people? They change them every year?"

That tone clearly indicates she's still angry...

"I rented a place outside."

Alicia explained.

An Yu: ...

Why don't university students live in dormitories?

"Due to some work reasons, it's not very convenient to stay in the dormitory, and there just happens to be a large villa there, which is cheap but has many tenants."

An Yu remained silent for a long time. There were too many questions, so much so that he didn't know where to begin finding fault.

"Alice! Who gave you the audacity to rent a house like this?"

“Eden was there at the time, and everyone was very nice. That year, the roads were blocked by heavy snow, and the New Year’s Eve dinner was also very interesting.”

Thinking of this, Alicia smiled faintly, her fair cheeks gradually spreading into dimples.

Everyone was very nice, and all 13 of them were very kind. Even the most stubborn Qianjie was considerate of others, which made Alicia think that everyone in the world was like that.

Although after graduating from university, she realized that she had been overthinking things.

"And then you became a family."

An Yu crossed her arms, and she was indeed no longer angry, since the expected reaction had already been calculated.

Alicia: ...

After going around in circles, the problem seemed to have come full circle. She wiped away her tears, which were almost gone, and stood on the sofa, looking down at the viewer.

"Then why didn't you look at my phone before! Why didn't you care about my social life! Why is your desire for control so low!"

"I've never hidden anything from you before, so why don't you ask me?"

"Besides, I'm the older sister, I know everything about you, yet you don't even know who my friends are. Honestly, is it the older sister's fault or the younger brother's fault?"

Volume 1: Chapter 12 12 Alicia can't tell the difference

An Yu didn't argue with Alicia; that would be too stupid. Usually, when everyone is happy, such boring and silly things can be used to enhance feelings. Bickering is a way to enhance feelings, but he wasn't happy now.

It was exactly one o'clock in the afternoon. An Yu lowered her head and walked down the stairs, preparing to call a Didi (ride-hailing service).

Why not ride a motorcycle?

Alicia leaned closer, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

That's quick, and the cramped space can also ease the tension between siblings. After all, being close together means that no matter how stubborn they are, it won't work.

An Yu glanced at Alicia: "Because someone moves around and shouts, and I... have already been to the hospital once because of it."

Alicia grumbled unhappily, somewhat annoyed, but didn't know how to retort.

She snatched An Yu's phone and opened the chat history, only to find that An Yu had only pinned her to the top of his chat list, and had no one on his "Special Care" list...

Why didn't I pay special attention?

She immediately pressed for more information.

"There are still some in the morning."
