Chapter 339: The Orange Situation Is Good
Zhao Yuyan’s younger sister was named Zhao Zilan. Next semester, she would be a third-year high school student. Like Zhao Yuyan, she liked to play games online and was also very fond of spending money on them. Whenever she had no money, she would go to her older sister to ask for some, extremely corrupt.
“Little sister, we haven’t played together for a while. Have your skills gotten better?”
“No, you’ve gotten worse, big sister.”
“Mmm, you’re so hurtful…”
“And, big sister, you seem to have gained weight.”
“…”
This younger sister was not cute at all. I wanted to hit her.
Zhao Zilan controlled her character, skillfully killing the small monsters, opening a path for her older sister, Zhao Yuyan, to clear this dungeon together. At home, the two sisters liked to play games. This was their common topic. Especially after Zhao Yuyan debuted as a novelist and started to make a lot of money, Zhao Zilan would often ask her for money to spend on gacha draws. Zhao Yuyan, who doted on her younger sister, would of course give it to her. Later, after her mother found out, she was given a good beating, and only then did she restrain herself a little.
“Big sister, I have a character I want recently, but I don’t have the money for a ten-pull.”
“Got it. I’ll give it to you in a bit.”
“Love you. But… if Mom finds out, she will definitely beat me to death.”
“It’s fine as long as she doesn’t find out.”
Zhao Yuyan was very experienced in this.
The two of them controlled their characters and went deeper into the map, continuing to farm monsters and pick up equipment and materials. They had already decided to pull an all-nighter to play games tonight. It wasn’t that they lacked self-discipline, but that this game was too fun. They couldn’t help it.
Zhao Zilan would definitely become a useless person like her older sister in the future. For some reason, I had this feeling.
Later, it was only when their mother called them to go to Luo Nan’s house for dinner that they came down, and they were also given a good scolding. Zhao Zilan’s shoulders drooped, with an indifferent look. This made her old mom very angry, and she pulled her face and walked out.
“Mom, it hurts, it hurts! I was wrong, I was wrong! I’ll never do it again.”
“You little brat, you’re becoming more and more like your sister. If you can be as outstanding as your sister in the future, I won’t say anything to you. But you’re almost in your third year of high school and you’re still so wild. Do you want to be taught a lesson by me?”
“Mom, you have to know, my academic performance has always been better than my sister’s. I can do better than her on the exams.”
“Hmm?”
“It hurts, it hurts! I won’t do it again, I won’t do it again! I will take my older sister as a role model, be proud of her, and strive to earn a lot of money every year like her.”
Afterwards, Zhao Zilan touched her own cheeks. They were red. She almost shed the tears of a strong man.
Her older sister, Zhao Yuyan, was a big celebrity. It was an indisputable fact that she could make money. Although she was also a useless person, at least she could make money.
Zhao Yuyan silently showed a wicked smile on the side. Haha, this younger sister has finally gotten her lesson.
…
The Zhao family and the Luo family lived very close to each other, and the two families were also old friends. Their parents had known each other before they were born. The two families had even thought about whether to arrange a childhood engagement, but later they had given up on this idea. After all, it was different from the feudal era of the past. If the two families’ children really had that idea, that was their business. It couldn’t be forced.
Yes, their parents had once thought of arranging Luo Nan’s older brother for Zhao Yuyan. But later they had given up. Mainly because when she was little, Luo Nan had heard about the childhood engagement between the two families and had thrown a huge fuss about it, she couldn’t let Zhao Yuyan marry her older brother. The two families thought about it and decided to just forget it. After all, those two didn’t have any feelings for each other.
Actually, they didn’t know that Luo Nan’s real thought was not to let Zhao Yuyan marry her older brother, but to marry her…
Today, Luo Nan’s older brother was not at home. He had said he was out on a date with his girlfriend. The two families started their dinner in a cheerful atmosphere. After all, the two families were very familiar with each other, and their conversations were inseparable from their children. The most talked-about topic was Zhao Yuyan and Luo Nan, because they were both novelists now, and were also famous in the industry, so they would naturally be brought to the table to be discussed.
“Luo Nan, I saw your TV show last time. You were very pretty on TV.”
“You’re too kind, Auntie.”
“How could you be? You’re quite successful now, aren’t you? Your name is often compared with my Yuyan on TV.”
Zhao Yuyan’s mother praised Luo Nan endlessly, wishing she could treat her as her own biological daughter.
And Luo Nan’s parents were also praising Zhao Yuyan, saying that her novels sold well and her animation was not bad. They had all watched it. Because Zhao Yuyan had been on TV a long time ago, they didn’t mention it much. What they were more concerned about was Zhao Yuyan’s novel and animation sales.
In short, Zhao Yuyan and Luo Nan were a little carried away. They were a little embarrassed to be praised by their elders like this. Especially since the two families had even said they wanted to open a bottle of wine to celebrate. They were shocked. It was only after much persuasion that they convinced their parents to just drink one cup. They didn’t want to drink at this time.
“Big sister, when are you going to find a boyfriend to bring back?”
At the dinner table, Zhao Zilan asked about Zhao Yuyan’s private affairs while eating. At this question, Zhao Yuyan almost spat out her food. She fiercely knocked her younger sister on the head, telling her to just eat.
“Little sister, I don’t remember ever teaching you this.”
“But you’re also 22. Shouldn’t you be thinking about a partner?”
“That’s not for you to worry about.”
Letting go of her younger sister’s face, Zhao Yuyan returned to the dinner table and continued to eat, pretending this topic didn’t exist. Only Luo Nan was quite concerned, listening to every word. So Zhao Yuyan doesn’t have a partner yet. That’s good. She had thought this person had found a boyfriend with this figure. If that were the case, she would have to castrate that man. It was a good thing she didn’t have a boyfriend.
After dinner, Luo Nan cleared the dishes and wiped the table. While the two families’ parents were chatting in the living room, she called Zhao Yuyan to go for a walk together. Zhao Yuyan had originally wanted not to go, but thinking of the fat on her stomach, she still agreed to the request for a walk.
Going for a walk after dinner was the best way to lose weight. Thinking back to when Zhao Yuyan was being supervised by her three sisters in the dorm to lose weight, and had to be driven to the sports field to run every day after eating, it was really funny to think about. Now everyone had gone out for internships. The next time they would meet should be when they were getting their graduation certificates.
“Luo Nan, you’re about to have an internship too, right?”
“Isn’t that the same as you? You’re writing novels, and I’m writing novels too. Our internship content is the same, just going through the motions.”
“That’s true. I plan to take this profession as my lifelong career.”
“Isn’t that a matter of course now?”
They would be graduating soon, unlike Yu Linna and their university lives. Their university life was about to end soon. They had debuted relatively late, but they had also made corresponding achievements. Whether in the novel or animation field, they had succeeded. What they should do next, only they themselves knew clearly. They all wanted to leave their own mark in this era, to have their names remembered.
“Yuyan, have you thought about getting married?”
Luo Nan, who was always calm, couldn’t help but blush and even feel nervous when she asked this question. More than anyone else, she was concerned about Zhao Yuyan’s future. If Zhao Yuyan were to really marry a man in the future, in what form would she stand by her side? As a bridesmaid? No, she didn’t want that.
“No. In fact, I don’t want to get married so soon.”
Hearing her say this, Luo Nan’s tightly clasped hands also loosened.
“Then, are you planning to marry a boy or a girl?”
“Eh?”
“No, no, I was just joking. Just pretend I didn’t say it.”
Luo Nan coughed drily to hide the blush on her face. As expected, I was too hasty. I shouldn’t have asked this question.
Zhao Yuyan also felt a little hot because of her question. What is this girl talking about? It’s all her fault. Now my heart is beating super fast.
The little tagalong from before had really become more and more presumptuous after growing up.
But…
She didn’t hate it.
“Luo Nan, you… and you? When are you getting married?”
Perhaps to hide the awkward atmosphere, Zhao Yuyan also found a similar topic.
“I want to marry the person I like.”
As a result, Luo Nan’s answer was irrelevant to the question. It was an answer that was not like an answer at all.
“Isn’t that a given? I was asking you about your type.”
“Mmm… as for my type, it would be best if they are very useless in life, have irregular meals, are addicted to the internet, don’t wash their clothes, don’t clean up, and just eat snacks when they’re hungry, and don’t like to go out.”
“Isn’t that a waste among wastes?”
“Mmm, that would be best. Precisely because her life is so bad, she needs me to take care of her. I will help her clean up, cook for her, wash her clothes. I just need to be by her side like this.”
Luo Nan’s face was slightly red, but her smile was very bright. She was saying these words from the bottom of her heart.
Zhao Yuyan was stunned listening to her. Her face also turned red. The type of person this girl liked was so much like her. Could it be her… Zhao Yuyan shook her head fiercely, trying to tell herself that that was not the case.
“Yuyan?”
“Mmm? It’s nothing, nothing. I’m just hungry.”
“Didn’t you just finish eating?”
“I’m hungry again.”
“Really, you’re going to turn into a pig if you keep eating. Let’s go buy some fruit. Fruit is not easy to get fat from eating. Really, how are you going to live without me? Do you understand?”
“I understand, I understand.”
Zhao Yuyan said with a fawning smile.
Luo Nan looked at her like this, and her heart softened. No matter when, she wanted to protect this smile, she wanted to protect her well. Before, it was she who protected Luo Nan. Now, Luo Nan wanted to protect her.
Luo Nan was very greedy. Having this, she wanted more. She still wanted more, more time with Zhao Yuyan.
Thinking like this, she took a step forward, and before Zhao Yuyan could react, she hugged her, pulling Zhao Yuyan into her embrace, greedily inhaling her scent. People were coming and going on the street. Occasionally, a few passersby would look at the two girls hugging each other. Most of them just smiled. No one really thought too deeply about it.
“Luo Nan?” Zhao Yuyan said.
Luo Nan didn’t answer. She just held her, feeling her warmth, her heartbeat, and her breath. As expected, she couldn’t let her go. She really wanted to be with her, to create more memories, to be like this for a lifetime.
“Yuyan, you still need to exercise. The flesh on your stomach is so soft.”
“What? That’s too much! I have been exercising properly.”
“Alright, alright, you’ve worked very hard. Let’s go running together again tomorrow.”
She rubbed her head and smiled like she was coaxing a child.
Their shadows were stretched very long, their laughter never stopping. Luo Nan still didn’t say the words out loud. She chose to be silent. But Zhao Yuyan was not a fool. She probably also knew something, but she just didn’t mention it. Neither of them planned to pierce that window paper.
