Chapter 85 No room for intervention

Chen Ling lay on the bed full of doubts.

Strange.

Why didn't sister Rika ask about the bank card given by the system today?
  He obviously had already thought of a reason to deal with it, but in the end, he remained silent and just let it go.

Playing hard to get is the most deadly.

The more this happened, the more confused Chen Ling felt.

Where did that curious baby lady go?

Or had he deceived her so many times that he had developed patience and just let it go?

Hey, what's wrong with boys having their own little secrets?

So what if you have multiple bank cards?

A man saving personal money is tantamount to...

After returning from the recording studio, everything was as usual, and there was no doubt about Rika's attitude and words.

Like the calm before the storm.

Chen Ling couldn't sleep for a short time, so he chose to stay up late playing games. After logging in, he thought for a while and decided to stay online.

It's okay to play games.

Nothing really.

I didn't receive any inquiries or words from Rika Shona all night.

Until the chicken finished the rice and the fire broke the lock...(bushi)

Chen Ling didn't know how long he had slept when he suddenly felt something moving around on his body.

But he was sleeping really deeply, so he turned over and continued sleeping.

But the feeling continued, giving him a small nightmare in just half an hour.

Dreaming about losing your teeth means that you will lose your teeth.

A very disturbing, common dream.

Then he felt someone step on his face.

Soft and furry.

Again, and again.

Until there is a slight, pinprick-like feeling on the face.

This forced Chen Ling to break out of his half-dream and half-awake state.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a black tail brushing his nose.

"Ah...ah sneeze!"

Ah, very good! The sleepiness is gone.

Chen Ling looked at Meow Jiang rolling around on his bed, leaving quite a lot of black cat hair behind.

Tmd, you know how to open the door, right? Are you a spirit?
  It seemed like this guy woke him up.

Chen Ling clearly remembered that he closed the door when he went to bed last night, but... it was not locked.

Needless to say, who else in the family has the ability to open the door, except Chen Ling.

So this is the belated retribution?
  After looking at the time, it was almost time for Rika to wake him up.

He got up, took the cat out of bed, and put it at the door. When he was about to close the door, he noticed some noises coming from the kitchen, and Chen Ling's familiar figure stood under the range hood.

Miss?
  Can you actually cook for yourself? !

Where does the sun come from today? After all, since Chen Ling started cooking, Rika has almost ignored this matter, and now she actually gets up to make breakfast by herself.

what's the situation.

She also let the cat in on purpose.

The black-haired girl didn't seem to notice the sound from Chen Ling behind her, and continued busy with what she was doing.

After being driven away, Meow-chan stretched out and walked slowly towards the floor-to-ceiling window of the living room.

If the eldest lady prepared the lunch by herself, there should be no chance for him, Chen Ling, to show up, right?

Just as he was about to close the door, Chen Ling heard the cold voice of the eldest lady: "Chen Ling...after breakfast, go to bed."

Ok?
  Do I have a share?

Are there eyes on the back, sister?

"Yes, sir!"

Chen Ling quickly scraped the bed with a sticky roller, then washed up and came to the kitchen.

Rika, whose long black hair was tied into a ponytail, had just completed the final preparations.

She reached behind her and seemed to want to untie the apron that Chen Ling had worn.

But after trying it a few times, something doesn't seem to work.

The eldest lady pursed her lips, glanced at Chen Ling, and then came to Chen Ling with her back to him.

"?"

"As you can see, I can't do it myself."

OK OK, so you want me to help you take off your apron, right?

"Then I'm going to do it."

Chen Ling said, Rika remained silent and kept her back to him.

a piece of cake.

Chen Ling stretched out her fingers and pinched two pieces of the bow ribbon tied around Shona Lixiang's waist.

As an able-bodied boy, he subconsciously looked at the girl's waist.

When you hold it, it undoubtedly has a very attractive softness.

Chen Ling, who has never been involved, can also make this judgment.

Well, it is indeed a bit tight.

After untying it, what was left on the neck was still there.

All you can see is delicate and smooth skin and a slender neck, giving you the illusion that you can hold it with one hand.

Chen Ling suddenly understood Neon Man's inexplicable XP system.

This unique condition is coupled with the youthful spring uniforms of Tokyo high school girls.

Low collar with round placket.

One thing to say, it is indeed very pleasing to the eye.

Chen Ling was slightly distracted when his fingertips touched a sliver of skin, and the eldest lady waited for him to untie her belt as if nothing was wrong.

"All right."

Why do you feel like you are undergoing some unknown test?

"Thank you."

The no-nonsense answer, accompanied by the blue flowers swaying in the ponytail of the black hair, gave Chen Ling a heavy blow.

After hanging up the apron, Rika Rika tidied her clothes.

He glanced at Chen Ling, who had a strange expression, then picked up his lunch box and schoolbag and walked towards the entrance door.

"Watch it while it's hot."

Please don't say such weird words, okay?

Chen Ling is still too dirty.

"Great. Be safe when you go out~"

After Rika Shona left, Chen Ling sat at the dining table and checked her phone for a while.

Look at the steaming breakfast on the table.

Well, tamagoyaki, flower sausage, white rice, miso soup, standard Tokyo light diet.

I'm used to eating hometown dishes, and it's actually quite good to have a Tokyo meal to spice things up once in a while.

There is also a tofu mixed with green onion, which is pure and white?
  OK OK.

When Chen Ling looked at the light yellow tamagoyaki and the refreshing tofu mixed with green onions, he could not help but think of what he had just seen.

Fooled.

Have a bite of the sweet egg tamagoyaki, a bite of rice, and a sip of hot soup.

It has to be said that this level of cooking is indeed due to Rika Shona's long-term "bridal training".

He has eaten Japanese food cooked by the eldest lady twice so far, and he felt this way every time.

Not worse than many restaurants.

However, Chen Ling suddenly understood something.

Isn’t what the eldest lady is doing now, first giving you a slap in the face and then a handful of candies?
  Damn, what a classic scumbag approach.

Forget it, never mind, this rice is so delicious.

On the subway, Rika Shona was sitting in the seat at the back of the car. She had an indifferent face, her head lowered, and she kept strangers away. Her aura was particularly strong.

No one knows what she is thinking at this moment.

The black-haired girl looked at her white and delicate right hand.

A little rough, but warm, much warmer than her own hands.

But... it turned out to be too much oil.

……

"rika"

This unfamiliar online singer account has frequently appeared in the public eye recently.

Two high-quality singles, plus offline video a cappella bonus points, the green ghost and white fox masks add mystery and charm.

The improved custom-made mask exposes the area below the lips in order not to affect the human voice.

The pink lip color, flat lip corners and perfect jawline create a huge contrast.

Offline reality shows, or some pop music radio stations, have also begun to invite "rika" as a special guest, wearing a mysterious mask to show off her singing voice.

Of course, the producer of "Green Ghost" often attends major offline programs with her.

Calls himself Nanye, a musical genius.

He doesn't speak much, but he is humorous and occasionally speaks a few refreshing words about abstract art.

In general, "rika", as an online singer, is now transforming into an offline debut singer.

When conditions permit, we may be able to start the first small fan club.

Through drawing, or selecting one or two hundred fans, Chen Ling and others will rent and build the venue at their own expense to perform offline.

It’s certainly not as big as a concert, but it can solidify your status as a powerful singer, rather than a vase of flowers or an embroidered pillow.

You can also make some money by selling some peripheral products.

At present, Chen Ling's next phased plan is to successfully hold the first small-scale fan club. After the success, it will gradually expand the scale. At the same time, he will initiate album production and sales and initially establish an industrial chain.

Singing can be a hobby or a career.

For Rika, it is a weapon in the pursuit of freedom.

During this period, Chen Ling and Rika Shona would receive certain offline reality shows or simple personal interviews from time to time.

The schedule on weekends is getting fuller and fuller, which makes Chen Ling have to consider whether Li Xiang can find time during the week.

In the past, we could see in the series that students who choose to debut in high school will inevitably let work gradually take up their campus life. This kind of thing is usually agreed upon after communication between the agent and the school.

But this matter is a problem for Rika Shona.

Because our requirement is to develop singing properly without affecting the performance.

If she takes time off in the middle of the week to participate in various music variety shows, it will inevitably have a negative impact on her performance.

No matter how good your grades are, as long as you have less time to go to school, your progress will be slow and you may not be able to keep up with school progress.

Therefore, the possibility that Rika Sumana’s family would agree to this approach is really very low.

Chen Ling didn't know what to say for a while.

I'm worried that the eldest lady will use more radical methods to force my family to agree if she finds out.

For the time being, we can only develop like this.

However, the only thing that Chen Ling feels a little frustrated about is that when he goes to participate in the show now, after wearing a mask, he has to keep a distance from his dear sister Lixiang. You can interact, but you must be a gentleman, don't use inappropriate names, and don't do inappropriate actions.

For example, walking side by side.

Anyone wearing a mask must maintain a very good social distance from their peers.

No one would be happy with the feeling that two people who get along day and night in the same apartment have to pretend to be ordinary partners when they go out.

There is a sense of helplessness that the distance is torn apart.

After all, no one would know them without the masks. Once they put them on, they would become a rising star duo that is gradually becoming known on the Internet. If some strange news spreads, it will definitely attract the attention of our family.

However, every time he kept a distance after wearing a mask, it was Chen Ling who took the initiative. The eldest lady did not take the initiative or cooperate. Of course she understood the meaning of Chen Ling's actions.

For her, she had to accept it even if she didn't want to.

"Chen Ling."

"Ok?"

Chen Ling put down the Japanese textbook in his hand and found the eldest lady sitting across from him looking at him.

Sorry, I'm having a hard time learning Japanese lately.

There is no way, he participates in the program more and more frequently. He speaks Japanese very well. When he doesn't understand, he can only smile or say: "I don't know this question."

Still want to work harder.

The black-haired girl tilted her head slightly and held her pretty face with one hand. Chen Ling was confused by her unreadable eyes.

what's going on.

Scrutinize me?
  It is not my intention to work hard, but it is all caused by life.

"What's wrong with you?"

Ok……

Shouldn't I ask you this?
  Their eyes met and Chen Ling thought about it for a moment.

Are my recent worries obvious?

It’s better not to cause Li Xiang any more troubles.

Chen Ling wanted to shake his head, but looking at Jina Lixiang's deep eyes, he couldn't make such a move for a while.

Although her face was expressionless, the eldest lady's gaze gave him a feeling that she would definitely look at her until she got the correct answer.

He could only shrug and sigh. "Okay, then please promise me first not to do impulsive things, okay?"

"Have I done something impulsive?"

she questioned.

Do you have any self-awareness?

"The program invitations I received recently include mid-week recordings, and they are all programs on influential TV channels. But Rika, you have to go to school. Is this an agreement with my family?"

The black-haired girl's eyelids drooped slightly, and her lips tightened slightly. It looked like she had encountered something difficult.

Of course she can understand it herself, and lying is not valid, because the program is recorded in the middle of the week and broadcast in the middle of the week. Once it appears on the TV program, the family will of course understand the truth.

So when this matter was brought up, it was a dilemma for Rika.

"I can try to negotiate."

After all, the content of TV channel programs is high enough, and it is an opportunity.

"Brother Naoki said that the possibility of our family agreeing is very low. The reason is unknown."

It's possible... My parents felt that the speed of Rika's rise was a bit unexpected, and the subjective balance began to tilt unknowingly.

It's normal. One day something you can control suddenly makes an exaggerated progress, and even makes you feel vaguely out of control. Even if it's only one ten thousandth, wouldn't you feel a little bit afraid?

"Anyway, I think Rika can just maintain the status quo now. There is nothing she can do about it. Let me handle the matter of rejecting the invitation."

But it is indeed much easier to say it. You can't hide everything from Rika, otherwise the status of the two parties will not be equal.

Equality, mutual benefit, and common progress are the basis for long-term cooperation.

The eldest lady seemed to be still deep in thought.

"Don't do stupid things, you understand?"

Chen Ling looked at her quietly, and then he breathed a sigh of relief after the other party nodded slowly. Don't think of yourself as too powerful.

The two continued to spend the night studying together until the eldest heard the sound of cat litter being picked up. After a minute, she couldn't help but frown a little.

"Chen Ling."

The eyebrows under the slightly longer melon skin twitched.

"what?"

"Go and clean up."

Nothing wrong with it, it does taste strong.

"But Rika, do you want to give it a try? Just treat it as an experience."

Jina Lixiang looked at him expressionlessly, and Chen Ling could only sneer and go shovel the cat litter.

……

April always reminds Chen Ling of a girl with long blond hair.

April has arrived again without you.

It's a pity that I can't swipe it again, throw in a coin, and contribute to the views.

Hey, don't tell me, if your eyes are blue, Miaosang, you must look like the cat in the series.

Facing Chen Ling's scrutinizing gaze, Miaojiang yawned and started to raise her feet and lick here and there. Chen Ling also saw the Tokyo Dome he was dangling around and the little Kunkun that was gradually revealed.

Oh, you kid, are you going to start meowing?
  Although you are very obedient and never let me find a chance to take action, there are some things that you can't control when spring is full.

Isn't Chen Lingcai jealous of the giant egg?

Meow Sang has not yet begun to miss certain little female cats that have passed through his life, but that day should not be far away.

He got cat food and drinking water for Miao Dazuo, and returned to his room to continue studying the mixing.

The skills provided by the system are not just simple song production, but also more experience, including how to use the keyboard and how to create good music.

Chen Ling plans to buy a keyboard and try it out, so that he can perform on stage with Rika.

It's not interesting to be behind the scenes, but it's more interesting to stand beside Lixiang and watch her shine more and more dazzlingly.

You can also save money on hiring a keyboard player.

A drop of water hit the window glass of Chen Ling's room. The next moment, more and more drizzle fell from the gloomy white sky, constantly hitting the window, making a hypnotic sound.

Chen Ling glanced at the time.

It’s already this point.

I had asked Rika Shona when she would get out of school before, but maybe she was just having fun lately, so she got home later than usual.

He's not a parent, so why would he ask this?

Just cook later.

But it suddenly rained today, and it was fashionable and sunny to go out in the morning. Chen Ling remembered that Lixiang didn't have an umbrella in her hand when she went out.

Hmm, not so sure.

Make a call to confirm.

After ringing for a few seconds, the eldest lady answered the call.

"Ok?"

The clear and delicate female voice was mixed with the patter of rain, and it was as if one could see the black-haired girl standing in the teaching building, staring at the rain curtain and answering the phone.

"rika, is it raining heavily over there?"

The rain was quite loud.

"Ah."

She took a step back slightly, because some of the water mist touched her calves, which made them feel a little cold.

"Did you bring an umbrella?"

Rika Watana turned her head and looked at Hayami Ai, who was holding an umbrella and chatting with her friend not far away.

"No."

"Remember to check the weather forecast when you go out in the future...Do you need me to give you an umbrella? But you have to help with dinner, otherwise it will be very late."

Rika Jina raised her eyes and saw two birds flying by the rain among the treetops in the distance. She suddenly felt that rain was not necessarily a bad thing.

"Well, thank you."

"It's a small matter, then you stay in school for a while and I take a taxi over?"

"It's all right."

Sit a little longer or sit a little less, which is actually not bad for her.

"OK, I'll leave now. Take the subway and save some money."

"Ah."

Having said this, Chen Ling hung up the phone, took two umbrellas, changed his shoes and went out.

I have done this a lot before. The group of people in the dormitory often rained without bringing umbrellas.

Now that I think about it, they should be exposed to the rain!
  As for the eldest lady, it is our duty to do so!
  The raindrops outside the teaching building fell on the ground so densely that they coated the ground with a light mist.

She tapped her feet lightly, glanced at the time, and put her hands into her pockets.

A minute or two later, Hayami Ai's cute voice came from behind.

"Rika-chan, you've been waiting for a long time. I accidentally ended up playing for a while while chatting with my friends."

"It's ok."

In Zao Jian Ai Yi's eyes, the pretty face with a plain expression was now filled with a faint smile, which made people's hearts beat faster just like the white snow smile in winter.

"Hey, didn't Rika bring an umbrella today?"

"Yes."

Zao Jian Ai Yi raised the umbrella in her hand.

"That's right. The rain is so sudden right now, and the rehearsals in the class have been temporarily suspended because of this. However, Mommy insisted on stuffing an umbrella for me in the morning. She said it was because of the weather forecast, and it turned out to be useful."

Rika Shona nodded, suddenly feeling that the man at home was a bit like "mom" and would also mention the weather forecast.

"Rika-chan, shall I take you home? By the way, I want to say hello to big brother. I haven't seen you for a long time. I wonder if his pot head has grown longer."

Zaijian Aiyi held open her umbrella, which was yellow and matched her usual outfit.

The umbrella is not small, and it can cover the two girls without any problem.

Surprisingly, Rika Shona shook her head.

"I'll be at school for a while."

"Eh? Then how can Rika-chan go back?"

Zao Jian Aiyi used her little brain and came to a conclusion.

"Big brother is here to give you an umbrella, Rika?"

"Ah."

"Wow, it feels like the plot in a TV series. I thought the eldest brother would only tell some weird nonsense."

The look of the little girl covering her mouth in surprise was really standard.

"I asked him to come."

"I see, I can't refute the order from my childhood sweetheart."

Hayajian Aiyi nodded, expressing understanding.

"It's not like this."

The sudden denial made Hayajian Ai a little overwhelmed.

This was the first time she had seen Rika Rika, who was calm and unhurried, answer in such a hurry.

"Rika-chan, what are you denying...what are you referring to?"

Hayami didn't get an answer from the other party.

"I saw you earlier. Do you like Chen Ling?"

Hearing this, the little girl's eyes widened.

"Eh?"

Why do you feel that there is no logic between the words?

"Why did Rika-chan suddenly ask this question?"

"Just wanted to know."

Zaojian Aiyi's emotional intelligence is not low, and he can get the answer with a little thought.

"Ah... I'm sorry. What I just said was because I just think my eldest brother's hairstyle is interesting, and I haven't seen him for a while..."

The little girl who was trying to explain could notice that Rika Shona had been watching her seriously, and her voice gradually became weaker. In the end, everything fell silent, leaving only the sound of rain outside the door.

"Okay, although I didn't actually plan to say it out loud originally. But now I feel that I still have to make things clear with Rika-chan. Maybe... I have a little crush on my eldest brother. Although he speaks weirdly, he is unexpectedly kind-hearted, and he doesn't look good. Oh no, my voice is also my favorite type, and I can also write songs... I just like older boys like Big Brother, but don’t worry about Rika, I just have a little liking for it, and there’s nothing more to it. idea.”

Rika Shona looked at her and pursed her lips, not knowing what to say.

"From the moment I started to realize that I had slightly different thoughts about my eldest brother, I already knew the result. After all, everyone can see that there is no room for anyone else to get involved between Rika-chan and my eldest brother."

The little girl still had a smile on her face, but she seemed a little more miserable.

"I have never done anything outrageous to my elder brother. He probably thinks that I am a little kid who knows how to dress up. Of course, my intention to be friends with Rika-chan is from the bottom of my heart, and it definitely does not exist. Any idea of ​​taking advantage.”

"I see."

Rika Shona's expression was a little stiff. She just blurted out that question and didn't expect to receive such a reply.

She didn't understand the reason for asking this question.

"So, Rika-chan actually likes big brother, right?"

The black-haired girl looked at her and saw Aiyi looking at the rain outside the window.

"I……"

"Even if you don't ask about this kind of thing, of course you know the answer."

Zao Jian Ai Yi showed a smile.

"To me, big brother will always be big brother. I just want to meet him once. No one can avoid this thought."

I do not know.

"Rika-chan, I'm going home first. See you tomorrow."

Holding the umbrella, she stepped into the evening rain and looked back at the eldest lady. The smile on her face remained as if she had no regrets.

"Thank you, Aiyi."

The smile on the little girl's face became brighter.

"It seems good to use this information in exchange for getting closer to Rika-chan."

The girl holding the umbrella was covered by the rain curtain, and her back did not contain the slightest regret.

The rain was unexpected, and no one knew whose heart the raindrops hit.

Rika Watana returned to her classroom and sat on the window seat.

Read books or do homework.

Or maybe he is proficient in the lyrics and music that Chen Ling recently gave him.

I don't know why, but I can't do anything.

She glanced at the clock in the classroom, and then looked at the school gate in ecstasy.

The crowds of people gradually became sparse, and the sounds on campus gradually decreased.

Time is long, time is short.

When will it be long and when will it be short?

I don’t know the child’s name, Lixiang.

She took out her cell phone and prepared to dial the familiar phone number.

But after thinking about it, I gave up on this move.

I always felt that after hearing Hayami Aiyi's confession to him, he had a very strange feeling in his heart.

Rika Shona doesn't like this feeling.

The heart beat at a slightly depressed frequency, as if proving some conclusion.

She looked out the window until a big black umbrella stopped at the school gate.

The parachute bearer seemed to be talking to the security guard.

The distance was not close at all, but for some reason, the black-haired girl in the classroom seemed to have seen the flattering smile on his face at this moment.

"Uncle, I am the younger brother of the Shona family, Naoki Shona. Do you still remember me?"

Chen Ling held an umbrella in one hand and another umbrella in the other. He faced the security guard's gaze with great confidence.

I've shaved before going out. Let's come over here.
