Walking out of the smoky Internet café, the young man with the "work equipment" on his back walked in the direction of home without hesitation, and the pace was amazing.

"Hey, wait for me! Zhao Nuo, you bastard. The woman next to her followed breathlessly.

The woman is about 20 years old, wearing a light cyan top and a denim skirt, and her face is perfect and her figure is perfect. But his long dark brown hair was a little messy, and his steps were vague and his complexion was poor. Apparently just had a long journey.

"Where's the luggage?" The young man called "Zhao Nuo" asked casually.

"Dumped at your doorstep, there's nothing valuable anyway."

The woman said and took out her mobile phone to look at the time, and said in a rather heroic voice: "Go back quickly, I'm sleepy and going to sleep." ”

"Anyway, you're a woman, can't you be quieter?" Zhao Nuo sighed a little weakly.

He looked in the direction of the residential building and was relieved to see that the building was already lit up with sparkling lights.

-- Now that the power supply has been restored, it seems that we can continue the "decisive battle until dawn" tonight.

However, how to deal with this guy is estimated to be more troublesome......

Zhao Nuo glanced at the young woman beside him: Those people in the Internet café just now seemed to have misunderstood something. In fact, this guy's name is Jian Hitomi and he is his cousin.

If I guessed correctly, my cousin should have been sent by her family to supervise her job search.

After graduating from university, I rented a small single room near the school, and then started a "otaku" life of playing crazy games every day. Although they can make ends meet by going out to do odd jobs, most of the people in the family are obviously dissatisfied with their current situation.

In the eyes of the older generation, it is necessary to find a regular job as soon as possible, and it is the king to find a partner to marry.

So, they sent Jian Tong to supervise themselves to live a "normal life".

This cousin of mine is a writer for a youth literature magazine, and belongs to the kind of profession that can work no matter where she is. Although this job is not very stable in the eyes of his family, it is still much better than himself who "does not do his job properly, eats and waits for death".

So, now we have to find a way to deal with this guy.

Open the dark door and walk up the stairs quickly, and when he found 302, Zhao Nuo saw a crimson suitcase in front of the door, presumably Jian Tong's luggage.

After dragging the suitcase to the side, taking out the key and opening the door, Zhao Nuo felt the switch next to the door to turn on the light.

With the soft dim light lit up, a familiar sight greets the eye.

I rented a small one-bedroom apartment. The living room, bedroom, bathroom and kitchen add up to only about 30 square meters.

But it was this prosaic scene in Zhao Nuo's eyes that made Jian Tong exclaim:

"I rely on ......"

is different from the "dirty and messy" room of ordinary otaku, Zhao Nuo's room is neither dirty nor bad, but the word "messy" is carried forward to the extreme. All kinds of game consoles and CDs, as well as the packaging of genuine games, almost filled the entire room, even the flat-screen LCD TV hanging directly opposite the door was crooked.

For Jian Hitomi, who suffers from mild obsessive-compulsive disorder, the sight was simply unbearable. She narrowed her eyes away from the clutter in the room and exclaimed, "Can you clean it up?" I'd go crazy living in a place like this. ”

"Ugh." Zhao Nuo grabbed his hair.

Although I know that my cousin has always been straightforward and fast-talking, she will say whatever comes to mind. But Zhao Nuo didn't want to touch any decoration in his room.

He had already memorized the location of everything here, and if he changed the place, he would probably not be as convenient as it is now if he wanted to find a game to play.

"Let's clean up, you're like a pig's nest here." Jian Tong frowned as she spoke, looking like she couldn't bear to look at it directly.

Seeing that her cousin was about to reach out for a large pile of PS4 game disks that she had placed on the coffee table, Zhao Nuo hurriedly stepped forward and stopped in front of her:

"Wait a minute."

"You're not trying to stop me, are you? No, it's too messy here to clean up. Although Jian Tong was tired, her attitude was still resolute.

"You go to my bedroom, there's little stuff there, I'll sleep on the couch."

Zhao Nuo said without hesitation and pushed Jian Tong's shoulders and pushed her into the bedroom. Then he brought her suitcase in.

The bedroom was less than 10 square meters, and there was nothing but a wooden single bed near the window and an old wardrobe next to it that hadn't been opened for an unknown amount of time.

Although the area is small, due to the lack of things, this room does not seem cramped, and it looks relatively spacious.

Perhaps because of the tiring journey, Jian Tong's attitude finally slowed down. She sat on the bed and stretched her body, let out a long breath, and said:

"Forget it today, but tomorrow you have to clean up the living room."

Speaking of this, Jian Tong paused, looked at Zhao Nuo's fading white T-shirt and torn jeans, and then continued: "Also, prepare a more formal set of clothes tonight, and I will take you to the talent market tomorrow, and a job fair is being held in the past few days." ”

Her request seemed very simple, but Zhao Nuo couldn't help frowning, this kind of thing is really difficult for a strong man, because-

"All I have is this outfit."

"Hmm...... Yes? Ahh Are you kidding? Hearing this, Jian Tong's expression was like seeing a ghost.

"Well, that's really all I have." Zhao Nuo tried hard to make his words sound more credible.

But he soon found that his efforts were in vain, because Jian Tong's complexion obviously became worse.

The young woman, who was about to collapse on the bed, suddenly stood up and opened the door to the closet, choking on the dust that came her face. Then I saw that it was empty, not to mention clothes, not even a hanger.

"Brother, how the hell did you survive! What to do when this suit is to be washed, is it naked? Or have you never done your laundry at all? Jian Tong expressed her shock in an exaggerated tone.

"I don't usually need to go out, I just stay at home and wait for it to dry." Zhao Nuo replied.

"It's only been five years since we saw each other, how did my lovely brother become like this!" Jian Tong almost looked up to the sky and roared, and then grabbed Zhao Nuo's shoulder: "Do you still have money there?" If not, I can go out, get up early tomorrow and I'll take you to buy clothes, you can't go on like this! ”

"It can't go on like this" right? Zhao Nuo remembered that someone had said this kind of thing to himself before, who was it? He couldn't remember anymore.

Looking back on the old days, I spent almost every day in the game. Although I don't regret it, now that I am an adult, I should really think about my future career development.

Looking at his cousin, who stood in front of him, seemed very sad. Zhao Nuo, who has always been only interested in games and deaf to other things, nodded unprecedentedly.

"Maybe it's time for me to go back to the real world."
