While passing by the living room, Jiang Yu found his sister Chan, who was still in front of the screen and looked sleepy. As soon as his mind moved, Jiang Yu put a playful smile on his face, approached quietly, and gently patted Xiao Bury's shoulder, whose attention was all on the game on the screen in front of him, with his right hand stretched out, raised to the position of the opponent's forehead, and put his middle finger on his index finger, ready to go.

After this shot, the flaxen-colored long-haired girl who was secretly called a "big hamster" by Jiang Yu trembled, and subconsciously pressed the "START" button on the handle, and then her head twisted from the right, but what was waiting for her was ......

"Smack!"

"Hmm——!"

Seeing his sister covering her forehead in pain, looking aggrieved and dissatisfied, Jiang Yu pretended to be a tiger and said in a cold tone: "What time is it, don't go to bed yet?" ”

Choked by Jiang Yu's preemptive voice, Tsuchima subconsciously said "go me n na sa yi", and then glanced at the time on the mobile phone not far away, and found that it was only 11 o'clock, and said with some annoyance: "What——! Isn't it only 11 o'clock, brother! ”

Jiang Yu spread his hands and tried to maintain his expressionless state: "It's going to school soon, so adjust your schedule from tonight." ”

Hearing this, Tsuchima's delicate eyebrows furrowed, and his cheeks puffed up. All this shows that the girl obviously did not accept the unconvincing explanation just now, and her mood is naturally gradually deteriorating.

In the eyes of his sister, although he was angry, he still had an extremely cute expression, Jiang Yu's face finally did not tighten, and he shook his head while laughing, making the angry girl look inexplicable.

After laughing, Jiang Yu looked at Xiao Bury's confused expression, and couldn't help but stretch out his hands and rub the girl's hair, causing the other party to be coquettish.

After laughing, Jiang Yu said with a straight face: "Although I really wanted to tease you at first, but those words are true, right?" Then again, you need me to wake you up every morning, I really don't know when you'll be able to wake up early by yourself......"

In the end, Jiang Yu shook his head regretfully, the meaning expressed by that expression was quite similar to suddenly hearing about his favorite work, and there would be no more sequels.

Tsuchima was combing his messy hair, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but pout, and said dissatisfiedly: "How can I be like this! Obviously, when I was at home before, I didn't need my mother to call me, I got up early! ”

Jiang Yu nodded thoughtfully, and said in a slightly lost tone: "It turns out that this is all my fault...... That's a sin......"

Looking at Jiang Yu's indistinguishable look of loss, Tsuchima suddenly panicked, and hurriedly waved his hand and explained: "Eh, I, I didn't mean that......"

In the next moment, Jiang Yu's lost expression disappeared from his face, coughed lightly, and said with a smile: "I don't blame you...... So, go wash up and get ready for bed, little buried? ”

Tsuchima didn't seem to have recovered from Jiang Yu's rapidly changing face, nodded in a daze, then turned around and turned off the game console and TV screen, and began to walk in the direction of the bathroom.

When she finished washing in a daze and returned to her room, she had some memories - she was, after being robbed of a bang and having a confused brain, she subconsciously followed the other party's words to do it?

The girl who couldn't cry or laugh didn't mean to blame her brother, after all, she also knew that the other party was for her own good. And...... Isn't this the life she has always longed for?

Walking to the window, the girl opened the curtains and looked at the shining stars in a dark field. The corners of his mouth slowly rose, revealing a bright smile.

……

After a combination of punches coaxed the earth to sleep, Jiang Yu was naturally ready to continue his original purpose - washing before going to bed.

Just as he walked back refreshed, the door to Shiina Mahaku's bedroom was suddenly pushed open, and then he saw a yellow-haired girl holding a book and walking while reading, and walked straight towards him.

Looking at Shiina Mahaku, who didn't seem to realize his existence, Jiang Yu hurriedly took a step back, stretched out his hand, pulled out the book from the girl's hand, and said with a headache: "I said Shiina you...... Even if you're at home, you have to watch the road, right? ”

The girl raised her head a little dazedly, and looked straight at Jiang Yu...... The book in his hand said softly: "Jiang Yu, that, it was buried for me." ”

"In addition to textbooks, where else will Xiao Nizi read any serious books......"

While muttering like this, Jiang Yu looked at the book in his hand that was the size of an ordinary book, and then two big "ONE PIECES" came into view, and he couldn't help but fall silent.

"Jiang Yu?"

Looking at the young man who suddenly took away the book he was reading in front of him, and suddenly fell silent, the yellow-haired girl blinked her orange eyes and asked suspiciously.

"Ah——!h Jiang Yu came back to his senses and said slightly apologetically, "I'm sorry, Shiina. But...... Why would Xiao Bury want to show you this kind of thing? Haven't you read this manga before? ”

"Xiao Bury just said that after reading this, it might help my comics." The girl raised her head slightly, paused, and her tone was as calm as ever, "I haven't seen this before, it's interesting." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Yu immediately understood why his sister showed Shiina this kind of thing...... However, is this kind of work that relies entirely on plot and fight scenes to win really suitable for this girl whose ability to make up stories makes people quite crippled?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yu glanced at Shiina Mashiro with a somewhat strange expression, and the girl tilted her head, and said in a somewhat puzzled tone: "Jiang Yu, it's so strange." ”

Jiang Yu's face froze, coughed lightly twice, stuffed the comic back into the girl's arms, and said with some embarrassment: "...... In this regard, I think it would be better for you to consult with the editor Iida before deciding which style of manga to learn. ”

"Ayano?"

The girl frowned, then nodded.

"Yes. After all, Miss Iida is your editor, and she should know better than us laymen about the style of art that is trending right now, and, to be honest, in my personal opinion, Shiina doesn't quite fit this type of manga. So looking at this, it shouldn't help much. ”

As he spoke, Jiang Yu pointed to the "ONE PIECE" in the other party's arms, smiled, and continued: "Besides, Editor Iida, I shouldn't have recommended this kind of comic to you, right?" ”

Shiina didn't see any change in expression on her face, just nodded silently, and then turned around, as if preparing to go back to her bedroom.

Seeing this, Jiang Yu hurriedly grabbed the other party and said, "Eh-Shiina, it's so late, aren't you still sleeping?" Let's go wash up! I can wet the towel for you, but according to the previous conditions, you will have to brush your teeth yourself. ”

The so-called conditions are a whole step-by-step plan established by Jiang Yu to help this girl who knows nothing about life to solve this problem.

The ultimate goal of the project is to raise Shiina Mashiro to be a normal adult who can live independently!

After a while, Jiang Yu reluctantly took out a dry towel and threw it on the girl's head, while helping the other party rub it. As for the reason why this happened - it's very simple, when Shiina Mashiro brushed his teeth just now, he didn't know what was going on, and he actually got his hair wet......

Thinking about it this way, the ultimate goal I set before is really a long way to go......

……

After finally dealing with Shiina Mashiro's personal hygiene, Jiang Yu sent the girl back to the room with a tired face, and after telling the other party to go to bed early, he yawned and returned to his temporary room.

Turn off the lights, lie down, and stare at the ceiling in a trance, as if you could catch some inexplicable graphics in your sight, accompanied by a buzzing sound in your ears.

Soon, Jiang Yu felt as if he had sunk into a blue sea, and his thinking was gradually blurred......

At this moment, the phone suddenly rang, it was the canon he had recorded himself.

Jiang Yu suddenly propped himself up, reluctantly walked to the table where the mobile phone was placed, and didn't look at the call message, so he went straight to the point, and said unceremoniously: "Who-the third watch called in the middle of the night!" ”

The other side seemed to be a little surprised by such a tone, and he didn't talk for a long time, just when Jiang Yu was a little impatient and was about to hang up, a familiar voice sounded on the other end.

"Stinky boy! Did you talk to you like that? ”

In his ears, the familiar laughter and scolding of his predecessor father Jiang He, Jiang Yu's expression was stunned, but he still said a little angrily: "Say, what's the matter, I have to call now." I was ready to go to bed just now, and I was directly disturbed by your old phone call. ”

"Uh...... It's really a little bit of a thought on my feet...... But I remember when you used to live at home, you never slept at this point in time, right? ”

Even across the phone, Jiang Yu seemed to be able to see Jiang He's embarrassed expression, as well as the unreasonable posture of forcibly pulling away the topic to resolve the embarrassment.

Sneered, Jiang Yu's unpleasant feeling of being suddenly disturbed in his heart also dissipated a lot, and he exhaled lightly, and said in a flat tone: "Okay, don't talk about these things." Dad, you called me now, did you suddenly remember something, and you were afraid that you would forget it tomorrow, right? ”

He almost has a basic understanding of the character of his predecessor's father, and he also understands that the casual appearance of his predecessor is most likely influenced by Jiang He since he was a child. And he, who has a similar personality to the other party, can't help but have a little more sense of identity in his heart, and he can easily shout out the title that he never had a chance to say in his previous life.

On the other end of the phone, Jiang He leaned against the wall outside the R&D room, a little surprised by Jiang Yu's attitude, smiled silently, and said with some relief: "Then let's get down to business." How is that kid okay lately? ”

"It's not bad, what's wrong?"

"Hmm. By the way, about that child's dream of being a cartoonist, you bastard boy, you have had some strange ideas since you were a child, and you still took Xiao Bury to practice, and you were beaten a lot. But it doesn't seem to be a bad thing now, you remember to help more. ”

“…… I-"

As if he knew what Jiang Yu might say, Jiang He preemptively said: "Don't say you don't want to, this is not my request, it's my old friend, let's help her daughter in all aspects as much as possible." Ahh None of her family, except for her father, was very approving of her development in comics. ”

"Why? I think Shiina is pretty good. ”

At this time, Jiang Yu didn't hold back his desire to ask questions.

“…… Why? I said you...... Even though you became an otaku when you were in junior high school, you don't care about the top painters in the world at all, but you also studied painting for a while, didn't you? ”

"Top ...... Painter? ”

“…… Looks like you really don't know...... Go Google yourself later! By the way - I almost forgot about business, you take that kid with Mahaku tomorrow...... Well, the High School Affiliated to Suimei University of the Arts, go through the admission procedures. That's it, I still have something to do here, so I'll hang up first! ”

After finishing speaking, before Jiang Yu could react, Jiang He hung up the phone. Exhaling a breath of turbid air in his chest, Jiang He rubbed his eyebrows, tried to sober himself up, and walked to the other end of the corridor with slightly tired steps, the assistant who had been waiting for a long time.

On the other side, Jiang Yu looked at the call that had been hung up, and was a little confused.

Obviously, he had been talking to himself about some strange things before, but suddenly he hung up the phone after saying a series of so-called "serious things" in a hurry. He really didn't know if the other party was busy or not.

And...... It's all at that, and there's something to do? Sure enough, it's a plan for a new game that the company is going to promote......

As soon as he thought of the game, Jiang Yu couldn't help but feel refreshed, and even the sleepiness seemed to be dispelled a lot. He is really curious now, even Jiang He, who has already ignored the production of games for a long time, has to concentrate on the game project with all his heart, what kind of finished product can be produced.

After the excitement, it is natural to follow the exhaustion that comes like a tidal wave. Moreover, as long as he thought of going out with Shiina Mahaku tomorrow to complete the admission procedures, Jiang Yu was helpless for a while.

Let's not talk about how long it will take to get the admission procedure, just by going out with the girl who seems to be a blank piece of paper, Jiang Yu felt a pain in his forehead, as if to warn him that he would definitely encounter some inevitable trouble tomorrow.

After glancing at the half-rendered video, Jiang Yu turned around and lay down, closed his eyes, and tried to fall asleep.

Inside, it is tossing and turning.

Outside, it's a hazy night.
