When his sister goes to the University of Tokyo, she will definitely not live here for the convenience of attending school. She will need a dormitory or a new rental house, which will cost tens of thousands of yen a month.
Then, girls in college are different from those in high school. Social expenses, new clothes, and cosmetics are all essential for girls in modern society. Admittedly, his sister is very sensible, but that doesn't mean Lu Li is willing to let her live worse than others.
In addition to the above, there are also food, transportation, and water, electricity, gas and other expenses for the new house.
It is no exaggeration to say that the amount of money Lu Li spent on his sister during her four years of college was absolutely astronomical.
After living in Tokyo for so long, Lu Li has suffered all the hardships he should have suffered. He no longer has any demands on himself and currently has no other wishes or ideas. His only goal is to make his sister's life happy and smooth.
Whether it's selling crepes or playing simulators, Lu Li now does everything for only one purpose, and that is for his sister.
So, he needed cash.
The less copyright share, the better. He needs more cash to support his sister's subsequent college expenses, and he also needs cash to help Xiangzi get through the most difficult time for the band Ave Mujica.
This is how life is. Time is money. Sometimes, even though we know that some things are a loss, we still need to make some seemingly unreasonable choices for the sake of the present.
Lu Li also thought about writing a light novel at the same time, which is the so-called dual opening, but in fact, he thought about it and it didn't make much sense. Dual opening would greatly affect the quality of the work. In order to ensure the quality of writing, he would never dual open, so it was just right to maintain the current state of selling cakes while writing light novels.
Two jobs, two incomes, selling cakes during the day and typing at night. He doesn't feel particularly tired, this state is just right.
[“Lu Li, are you going out?”]
[“Yeah, I was planning to go out for dinner with my sister.”] Lu Li replied with a smile.
The contract has been negotiated. Now we just have to wait for his reply and then we will transfer the money after we sign the contract.
In every sense, today is a day worth celebrating, so Lu Li plans to take his lovely sister out for a good meal.
[“Huh? So, Lu Li, do you have other family members?”]
"Yes, I have a younger sister who lives with me. Sister Miao Meng, have you eaten yet? Do you want to come out for dinner? I was busy during the day and didn't have time to greet you. This meal is my apology to you, Sister Miao Meng."
Lu Li invited Ruomai of Youtian Temple. As a Chinese, treating others to a meal is a common practice.
[“Can I come? Can I come?”]
"Of course you can, as long as you don't mind, Sister Miaomeng."
[“No, where are you going?”]
[“I think this is a good restaurant. I’ll send you the location.”]
[“Okay! Then I’ll come over and bother you for a bit.”]
After a while, a location was sent to Yutiansi Ruomai's mobile phone. After seeing the specific location, Yutiansi Ruomai's mouth corners slightly raised.
uh-huh.
Eating is a good opportunity. Now she can finally observe Lu Li up close.
Walking to the wardrobe, Yutenji Wakami opened the door.
"What should I wear?"
Although Lu Li is not a very important person to her now, he is still a social...
"Dress up nicely!"
Volume 4: Chapter : Turbid Old Tears (K)
The place Lu Li chose was a very ordinary family restaurant.
The restaurant doesn't occupy a large area, the decoration is very ordinary, and there are not many customers in the restaurant. There are probably at least 500 family restaurants like this in Tokyo and even in the whole of Neon.
The Lu family's fake orthopedic duo, who read as brother and sister but wrote as a couple, did not order food first after arriving at the restaurant. After all, there was another guest besides the two of them this time.
"Brother, this is Miss Yutenji?"
After sitting down, Lian picked up her phone and searched for the online name that Lu Li told her on the way here, and then she saw some videos about Yutiansi Ruomai on the Internet.
"What a beautiful sister."
"There are almost 100,000 followers! That's amazing!"
Lian's voice was filled with a hint of surprise.
With more than 100,000 followers, this should be the person with the most Internet fans she can currently reach in reality.
"Brother, facing such guests, isn't the level of our hospitality a bit low?"
Lian was a little worried.
This sister looks very powerful. Will she lose face for her brother by entertaining the other party in such an ordinary family restaurant?
"Yes, she is very powerful, but you don't have to worry about it, Lian. I have told her about this in advance. If she cared about it, she wouldn't have come." Lu Li replied indifferently.
Sister, you don't have to worry at all, because I have reminded Teacher Da Miao about the choice of restaurant. Anyway, I have made it very clear that we are going to eat in a most ordinary family restaurant today. She can come or not.
As for losing face, Lu Li didn't take it to heart at all.
If it's a loss of face, then so be it. If Big Cat respects him, then respect him. If he doesn't respect you, then forget it.
And even if I invite Teacher Da Miao to a Michelin restaurant, will Teacher Da Miao look at him differently?
think too much.
Although he had the misfortune of traveling through time before Ave Mujica's animation came out, which prevented Lu Li from being able to see any bizarre actions of Big Cat afterwards, this did not prevent Lu Li from fully understanding Yutenji Wakamai.
Just the conversation between Teacher Da Miao and Xiangzi in the restaurant at the end of mygo is actually enough.
Lu Li's evaluation of Yutian Temple Ruomai is just three words.
Adults.
Yes, adults, and adults who have been beaten by society.
"Rian, you don't need to feel too stressed. We didn't come here specifically to treat Yutenji Wakami to dinner today. We just happened to be together."
"But, brother..."
"It's nothing to worry about. She and I are not from the same world. We weren't in the past, we're not now, and we won't be in the future... probably not either. Just be natural."
Lu Li thought very thoroughly.
If it was possible for him to have some interactions with girls like Xiangzi, Soyo, and Wakaba Mutsuki, then there was probably really no point of interaction between him and Yutenji Wakamu.
As for why, the answer is very simple. First of all, it is the gap in age and experience.
Take Lu Li as an example. In fact, the reason why he can become friends with Soyo, Xiangzi and Mutouren is largely because these girls are still underage JKs.
Toyokawa Shoko and others are not very old, and it can be said that they do not have much experience. It is not difficult to get to know these girls early, open up to them and become friends with them before these girls have experienced the harshness of society. At least compared to Yutenji Wakami, this difficulty is much lower.
After all, minors are easier to fool than adults, and these problem girls are actually good girls. They are still at the most tender and emotionally eager age, so it is very easy to make friends with them.
However...Yutenji Wakami is different.
This is not an ignorant underage girl, but a strong woman who has fought hard in Tokyo for several years. As a person who has been selling crepes in Tokyo for almost three years and is actually an adult, Lu Li understands too well what it will be like for someone who has been beaten by society.
Take himself as an example. He still remembers that when he first started selling crepes, he couldn't even keep smiling at the customers. At that time, he felt that he would become a great man with the system in hand. However, the result was extremely cruel. The crepes he made were ugly and unpalatable. In addition, he didn't know how to entertain customers, so he didn't have a single order all day long.
In fact, Lu Li was not without ambition when he just traveled through time.
Once upon a time, the sixteen-year-old Lu Li was full of vigor and ambition. As the king of Hengshui Middle School, with the system in hand and the identity of a time traveler, he really felt that he was the master of this world.
Especially after Lu Li knew that there were many anime heroines that he was familiar with in this world, he became even more arrogant and thought that he would be able to have a blast like those two-dimensional harem novels he read, and then all the anime heroines would fall for him, everyone would love him, everyone would chase after him and lick him, he could choose whoever he wanted, and this world would be an entertainment venue for him and his harem.
However, the reality was completely different from what Lu Li had imagined.
His system was useless at that time. The so-called newcomer gift package only gave him a food truck to make a living. As for the power of the King of Rolls that he was proud of, there was no room for him to use it at all, because he couldn't even afford the tuition fees. In addition, he had no identity documents at that time, so no school was willing to accept him.
As for the possibility that a kind-hearted person would suddenly appear and be willing to adopt him, there was no such thing. He was a tall and strong boy of sixteen or almost seventeen years old. Who would be willing to adopt such an outsider with no identity?
So, Lu Li had a very hard life at that time.
The crepes were so poorly made that they couldn't be sold, and he didn't even have money for food. Lu Li remembered clearly that before he officially sold his first crepe, he had almost eaten up the crepe ingredients for two weeks.
When Lu Li used his money to buy the first seaweed rice ball and put it into his stomach, he remembered that tears welled up in the corners of his eyes at that moment.
Yes, Lu Li cried at that time.
Although there were only a few turbid old tears, he was indeed Rem.
A seventeen-year-old boy thought he could become the protagonist of the world. After traveling through time, he planned to do something big with his dreams, but in the end he lived like a dog. This was the true portrayal of his life after traveling through time.
The toilet was a public toilet, and we slept on the floor in the dining car. Before we had money to rent a house, we took a shower once every three days in the cheapest public bathhouse.
If you insist on saying that this kind of life is bad, it is much better than being a real beggar, but it is a world of difference compared to the ambitions I had when I just traveled through time.
Society is the best way to temper a person's character.
When Lu Li first crossed over, he was sixteen and about to turn seventeen. At that time, he was full of vigor and vitality. But who would have thought that in just a few months, the once conceited boy had shed his childishness, no longer being picky about clothes, no longer complaining that the 100-yen rice balls in the convenience store were hard to swallow, and no longer thinking that everyone else in the world was a minions and he was the protagonist when walking on the street.
The skin, which was originally pale, gradually turned yellow, and the arrogance on his face turned into politeness.
He used to not pick up a one-yuan coin that fell on the ground because he thought it would roll too far, but now he smiles and reminds customers when they forget to give him a fifty-yen coin.
This is what growth is all about. The teenager who used to be obsessed with drinks and even threw them away after taking a sip because they tasted bad has finally become an adult who carries a hot water cup with him under the polishing of society.
What really makes people grow up is not age, but experience. Only after suffering and enduring pain can one truly understand the reality of this world.
This is how Lu Li came here, and so did Yutiansi Ruomai.
We are all adults, and the more adults we are, the less likely we are to trust others. If the difficulty of opening up to girls like Toyokawa Shoko is 100, then the difficulty of opening up to Yutiansi Wakomai may be 10,000. This is the same for Lu Li and Yutiansi Wakomai.
If you want to have a heart-to-heart talk with an adult who has been working in society for many years, you can either make friends with him when he is still a minor, or you can only try to gain his trust slowly with true sincerity.
However, neither Lu Li nor Yutenji Ruomai could actually do this. They did make plans to have dinner together because they were members of the same band, and they would chat with each other with smiles, but they both knew that all this was so-called "socializing."
The two are not from the same world.
It wasn’t like that before, it’s not like that now, it won’t be like that in the future, it wasn’t like that before the simulation, and it probably won’t be like that after the simulation.
For Lu Li, the simulation was just for his sister. No matter what the situation was in the simulation, he would not take the initiative to have a too deep heart-to-heart talk with Yutiansi Ruomai.
As for Yutiansi Ruomai, Lu Li didn't think that the other party would take the initiative to open up to him. After all, he had a simulator and Yutiansi Ruomai didn't. And if Yutiansi Ruomai had it, Lu Li estimated that Yutiansi Ruomai would only report him immediately instead of making friends with him. After all, who would want to get to know a criminal?
"Anyway, don't worry too much, really."
Picking up a glass of water, Lu Li took a sip and then said calmly, "Lian, if I'm not mistaken, Yutiansi Ruomai just wants to get to know me briefly. This is just normal socializing. After this time, she probably won't talk to me much, so there's nothing to worry about. Lian, you don't even need to make too many friends with Yutiansi Ruomai. She's different from Xiangzi and the others. We can't get along."
"Is that right?"
Lian glanced at her brother and felt something was wrong.
Although what her elder brother said made sense, she just felt that something was wrong...
Should I say intuition?
She always felt that the relationship between this sister and her brother was more than just a simple acquaintance.
"Yes, it is like that."
"Ok."
Although she felt something was wrong, Lian would definitely listen to Lu Li's words.
Whatever her brother said was right.
"Sorry to keep you waiting!"
At this moment, a figure came in front of the two of them and greeted them warmly.
Hearing the voice, Lu Lian and Lu Li raised their heads and looked towards the source of the voice. Then, they saw an urban beauty with a completely different style from them.
Short purple hair, fan-like eyes, and a faint smile.
The upper body is a light blue patterned tank top, and the lower body is a dark short skirt.
Today, Yutian Temple Ruomai was carrying a small leather bag that looked very expensive. Her makeup was very delicate, and as she approached, Lu Li could smell a faint fragrance.
"Sister Meow Meng."
The moment he saw Yutiansi Ruomai, Lu Li's expression and tone changed instantly. As if he was receiving a guest, he stood up and greeted Yutiansi Ruomai in a very standard way.
"Lu Li, good evening!"
With almost the same tone and smile, Yutenji Ruomai responded to Lu Li.
"Is this your sister?"
"Well, her name is Lian." Lu Li took the initiative to introduce her.
"Hello, Sister Youtiansi, my name is Lu Lian." Lian, who also stood up, bent down very politely towards Youtiansi Ruo.
