"You want people to notice you without doing anything. Unless you are a rare beauty that only appears once in a thousand years, there is no such thing as a good thing."

"I, I'm not incapable of taking the initiative... Besides, even if I'm not a beauty that only appears once in a thousand years, I'm at least a beauty that only appears once in fifty years!"

Even now he is still looking for excuses, and I have never seen this person take the initiative.

"How can someone who does nothing but walks around in circles attract other people's attention? I don't quite understand whether you girls think that it would be weird to take the initiative to talk to the opposite sex. Anyway, if you can't muster up the courage, just forget it. Just sit there and wait for others to come to you - although that will take some time."

After a passionate outburst, Ming Hai put his phone aside and began to rehearse intensively with his partners. These were his first few performances as the keyboardist of the band, so naturally he didn't have much time to chat with Eriri.

But when he finished his performance on stage and returned to the lounge to pick up his phone again, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded by the bombardment of text messages from Eriri.

"Who are you looking down on?! Of course I know about that kind of thing!"

"Your method of provoking me is so poor, do you think I didn't see through it? Haha, this is too bad, too bad——!"

"It's just a straight shot! It's just using delicious food and fun things to tempt him! Who doesn't know how to do that?! Look, I'm going to find that guy right now and take him down for you to see!!"

"ha?"

When Ming Hai saw that the latest message was successfully sent two minutes ago, he was stunned - you know, the performance had just ended, and Eriri must not have left Fanxing yet.

"No, I mean to think long-term. At least you should think about the specific process and how to avoid other people and talk to them alone..."

But while he was typing this sentence at a rapid speed, the door of the lounge was suddenly opened.

"Well?"

When the other members of the band who had just finished their group were looking at the blonde girl who suddenly appeared at the door in confusion, alarm bells suddenly rang in Ming Hai's heart - he couldn't even imagine what Eriri, who was completely out of control, could do.

As expected, the blonde girl with a flushed face and heavy breathing glanced at the faces of the people present and fixed her eyes firmly on Ming Hai.

Then shocking words came out of her mouth.

"I've been looking for you for a long time! Bro!!"

When these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned.

“Follow me!!”

The lounge fell silent in an instant. Eriri realized that she seemed to have said something very serious. In a fit of anger, she simply walked up to the boy, grabbed his wrist, and dragged him out of the lounge.

Ming Hai, who originally just wanted to force Eriri to tell the truth, never expected that the word "brother" would come out of her mouth.

"What do you mean... Could it be that Eriri..."

Another possibility emerged in his mind, and Ming Hai could vaguely feel that there would be a very important truth waiting for him to discover.

Chapter 86: So you are not an NPC?

How to express to the boy in front of her "I once saw you in a very strange dream. In the dream, you were my brother and died for me" was originally a difficult problem for Eriri to overcome. In the end, even she herself did not expect that she would perform beyond her expectations and said the word "brother" to him.

However, the questions that followed made Eriri unable to help but pick her toes.

The words she blurted out in the Fanxing lounge made everyone present look at her in astonishment, even the boy who was addressed like that was particularly confused - and Eriri herself felt extremely ashamed the next second, and after pulling Ming Hai out of Fanxing, she held him hostage all the way to the best restaurant nearby.

With the primitive idea of ​​"treating frightened prey with delicious food and drinks", Ying Lili ordered a luxurious Western feast with a wave of her hand. While bluffing, she was also looking at the expression of the boy in front of her nervously.

"Uh...thank you very much for your invitation. But I won't go AA with you."

After a long silence, Ming Hai curled his lips and spread his hands. After all, such high consumption was not in his plan.

"Of course, I'm treating you, so just eat until you're full."

The girl with blonde hair and twin ponytails crossed her legs, pretending to be nonchalant, but her weak appearance was just to hide her guilty conscience.

“Why did I say something so incoherent in someone’s lounge… Those girls in the band must have thought I was crazy!”

But it was useless to feel upset now. Her only hope was that the curly-haired boy in front of her would not also regard her as an inexplicable mental patient.

"…Do all the ladies from wealthy families have this habit, randomly grabbing a lucky passerby on the street and treating him to a feast?"

“No, no!! It’s just because it’s you that—well…”

The straightforward confession was on the tip of her tongue but was swallowed back by the embarrassed Eriri. Her pitiful look of wanting to say something but stopping herself actually made Minghai restrain his original bad idea of ​​teasing her.

"It's me...?"

The curly-haired boy raised his eyebrows, looking at Eriri's expression as she wanted to say something but couldn't bring herself to say it, and then he realized that he was the only one who could speak frankly.

"Come to think of it, I also felt a little strange. Miss Qianjin suddenly ran into our band's lounge and called me "brother" out of the blue..."

Ying Lili clasped her hands together nervously. If the gaze of the boy in front of her hadn't been so hot, she would have wanted to take out her cell phone to ask the netizen who had been giving her advice what to do.

"Can you tell me why?"

Ming Hai made the question as clear as possible, waiting for Eriri to give a response that would verify his guess.

That is, the possibility that "Eri might really retain the memories from the simulation."

"I, anyway, you won't believe it..."

Sure enough, this guy started to back down again.

"If you don't tell me, I won't believe it, and I'll think you're weird."

Ming Hai, who was almost losing his patience, curled his lips and made a gesture as if he was ready to leave at any time.

"How about I withdraw first? Please treat me to a nice meal, young lady."

“No, no, no, no! Wait! Ugh…!”

After holding it in for a long time, Eriri finally overcame the psychological struggle and almost gave up on herself. She lowered her head and clutched the hem of her shirt as she spoke the truth.

"I, I only said that because you look like my brother!"

“…So…?”

"That's when I suddenly burst into the lounge and called you bro!!"

"Do you have a brother?"

"……No."

"Then may I ask what you are doing...?"

"Well………"

Forced into a corner, Eriri hesitated again and again, but finally organized her fragmented words and confessed everything she knew.

"I know that you may feel confused by my sudden visit to you...but what I am going to say next may make you feel even more confused."

"Okay, okay, I declare in advance that I won't laugh at you."

Ming Hai raised his hands to make a promise. With his full understanding of Eriri in the simulation, he already knew what kind of promise he needed to make to Eriri in order to make her let down her guard.

"I, I had a very strange dream..."

After hearing Ming Hai's assurance, Eriri gradually calmed down and began to slowly tell her story.

"Although this may sound confusing, but..."

Like a pitiful puppy, the blonde girl lowered her head and turned her gaze to him.

"In that very strange dream...you seemed to be my brother."

Sure enough, hunches aren’t always wrong.

"Don't rush to refute me! I know you will definitely think I'm crazy, but I can explain everything! Um..."

Eriri waved her hands clumsily and tried to explain something, but found it difficult to organize self-consistent logical language, and it was also difficult for her to express her feelings accurately. Seeing all this, Ming Hai held his forehead and decided to complete this extremely difficult task for Eriri on her behalf.

"I'm not going to refute you. Because..."

After pondering for a long time whether the benefits of doing so would outweigh the disadvantages of exposing everything, Ming Hai still spoke in a deep voice about the fact that he had not originally intended to reveal to anyone.

"I had the same dream, too."

"...?"

Now it was Yinglili's turn to be dumbfounded. She never expected the other party's answer to be like this.

"…Meaning that in your dream, I am your brother?"

"…Don't let anyone hear you, or they'll think you're being racist."

The curly-haired boy held his forehead helplessly. He couldn't help but wonder whether Eriri had always had such a strange way of thinking or if her brain was really confused.

"I mean, if you've ever dreamed that I was your brother... then I've definitely had the same experience."

"you mean……"

Eriri's blue eyes, which were originally filled with indecision and suspicion, were gradually replaced by another emotion.

The curly-haired boy reflected in her pupils no longer gave her the same strange and wary impression as before, but was gradually becoming familiar.

"…I know what you've been through, Eriri."

Ming Hai smiled and nodded at her. At this point there was nothing to hide from Eriri.

"..."

The blonde girl's eyes sparkled with sparkling light when she was addressed in such an intimate way.

"I, we haven't introduced ourselves yet, right? Which means..."

In response to her cautious question, Ming Hai just smiled and nodded.

"You should know my name, Narumi Toru - or would you be more familiar with the name Sawamura Spencer Toru?"

The next moment, a loving hug from his sister came towards him, which was actually what Minghai expected.

"thorough--!"

He smiled and steadily caught the blonde girl who rushed towards him, but in fact, the reason why he admitted his identity so frankly was because he had his own considerations.

"At least this way, dear System-kun owes me an explanation, right?"

Chapter 87: The Development Plan for Brother Con

The current situation is actually a little bit delicate.

After coming out of the high-end restaurant, Eriri called the butler over directly, took Minghai to the Sawamura family's black car and returned to the empty home, and took him on a "pilgrimage" very enthusiastically.

"You still remember, right? This is the kitchen, you often cook for me! And, over there is the living room, you usually love to snatch the remote control from me to watch your favorite channels - upstairs is your room, but mom has turned it into a storage room, I'll ask mom to vacate the room for you after a while!"

"Eri, you're really enthusiastic once you've explained yourself...wait."

Etc., etc.

Ming Hai, who came to his senses while sitting on the sofa, frowned and turned to look at the blonde girl beside him who wrapped her arms around his waist and unscrupulously pressed her warm and soft body against him.

"Wait wait wait, Eriri."

"Hmm? What's up, Toru?"

When the girl raised her head, she had a smiling face, and she looked nothing like the arrogant and domineering rich girl in previous memories. Her slightly chubby little face was so adorable that people couldn't help but want to pinch it.

"...You don't want me to move back in with you, do you?"

"Hmm? Isn't it possible? Anyway, we have been living together like this before, right?"

"No, no, no, don't you think something is wrong? For example, why did we become brother and sister in your strange "dream", and why did we meet each other after returning to the real world?"

"Hmm? Isn't this because it's destined?"

Eriri tilted her head and gave an explanation that left Narumi speechless for a moment.

"Um... Na Yinglili, have you ever thought about "why" we became brother and sister...?"

"Hmm... but it's obviously not something I can figure out, so let's just leave it alone. Anyway, we have successfully recognized each other now, right?"

"No, so you've just given up thinking, Eriri?"

Ming Hai, who was almost angry and laughed at Eriri's simple logic, rubbed his head. Eriri also shifted her gaze to his black curly hair with a look of disgust.

"By the way, why is your hair black, Toru? I didn't recognize you at first glance. I felt like you were a million miles away from being a handsome guy."

"Is it possible that this is because you and I are not blood siblings in real life, so naturally my hair can't turn into the same golden color as yours, Eriri."

Ming Hai pouted and pulled away Eriri's hand that was rubbing his head. Although the latter pouted a little unhappily, she still obediently did not do anything else. She just hugged the boy's waist like a child and refused to let go.

"I'm too lazy to think about that... I can't come up with any conclusions, right? Anyway, being able to reunite with Toru is enough."

This is probably the reason why they say that fools have good fortune. But even though Eriri maintains a contented attitude, Minghai feels that this is far from enough.
