The community where Nono lives is indeed relatively high-end. Maybe in Reina's eyes, how could she, a small convenience store employee, live in such a nice place, so she is so surprised now?
Therefore, after Liao Ji repeated the address, he added a supplementary explanation at the end.
He doesn't really live there, he just has a friend. Now he is supporting him and letting him stay temporarily, which is considered renting a house.
Liao Ji originally thought that after his explanation, Reina would not react so much. After all, sharing apartments is quite common in big cities.
But the pink-haired woman in the driver's seat seemed to be frowning even more, her expression a bit indescribable.
Reina opened her mouth several times, as if she wanted to ask more questions, but in the end she stopped talking.
After that, on the way home, Reina, who used to talk a lot when she was out shopping, seemed to be able to chat endlessly, now became dull and looked preoccupied.
Even if Liao Ji took the initiative to find a topic, the pink-haired woman would mostly just give a very absent-minded reply like "hmm".
Nono's community is not far from here, it takes about ten minutes to drive there.
When the car stopped at the gate of the community, Liao Ji did not get out of the car directly. Instead, after taking a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, he proactively asked the pink-haired woman in the driver's seat next to him:
"Nana, do you...want to come up and sit for a while?"
"Sit...sit? Go to your house?"
"Um."
Liao Ji nodded seriously. Just now, out of selfish motives, he deliberately failed to mention that the "sharemate" he mentioned was actually a sister, and a very beautiful one at that.
But from Lena's dullness along the way, Liao Ji could only understand that the smart Lena probably guessed it, so she became sulky.
After all, indeed, if Reina was living outside with another member of the opposite sex, he would probably do the same thing.
What's more, what he did was even more excessive.
He and Nono have already...
It was precisely because of this thought that Liao Ji made up his mind. He knew that it might be difficult for him to defeat Nono by his own will, so he needed to use external forces.
He wanted to take this opportunity to bring Reina home, so that Nono would understand his feelings and put an end to this abnormal relationship.
And the other side.
Reina's mood at the moment was also very complicated.
It's okay to be in the same community, but the buildings are actually in the same building. This was why she was so shocked at first.
And then Liao Ji actually added that he was living and renting a house with someone else. In Reina's mind, the probability that the young man in front of her was sister Nuonuo's brother had risen to 90%.
However, because Liao Ji didn't say the house number, this was the remaining 10% of Reina's fantasy.
But now Liao Ji takes the initiative to invite her up as a guest...
what to do...
Reina was still struggling in her mind, but the actual desire in her heart had already made her answer.
"good..."
The pink-haired woman nodded in agreement.
She didn't want to use that 10% fantasy as a bubble to deceive herself.
she thinks...
Know the truth.
After parking the car, Liao Ji took Reina home.
Familiar unit building.
One floor, two floors... When the elevator rose to the fourth floor, the young man led her to the familiar door. After looking at the all-too-familiar house number "403", Reina only had the last word left. The illusion of success was completely shattered.
Liao Ji...the person I like is really...
Annuo's brother?
"Well... I'm sorry! I suddenly remembered something important. I'll be a guest... I'll just be a guest next time. Sorry."
When Liao Ji took out the key, Reina chose to escape.
Before the young man could react, the pink-haired woman showed a forced apologetic smile and walked quickly downstairs, not giving Liao Ji a chance to stop him again.
】
Not long after Reina's figure disappeared from the corridor, the door in front of Liao Ji was opened from the inside.
"Huh? Xiao Ji, are you back so early today?"
Nuonuo seemed to be going out to take out the trash, and happened to bump into Liao Ji at the door.
Seeing the young man's appearance, Nono tilted his head and asked with a smile:
"What's wrong, Xiao Ji? What are you doing standing at the door? Come in quickly."
"...Um."
After welcoming the young man into the house, Nono put the garbage bag in the garbage channel next to the door. The blond woman behind did not enter the house in a hurry, but looked thoughtfully at Rena's disappearance just now with her green eyes. The place.
"You ran away. This is not the Nana I know..."
"Well, it seems that the recovery is still not enough, and we need to increase the dose of stimulation."
"What should I do..."
The blond woman in the corridor was mumbling to herself, seeming a little distressed, but soon, her phone vibrated from her trouser pocket. Annuo opened it and saw that the caller on it was...Rena.
At this scene, the blonde woman's lips curved into a smile.
"Hello?"
"Sister Nuonuo, are you... at home now?"
"What's wrong at home, Nana? Your voice doesn't sound good?"
"No, it's nothing... No, Sister Nuonuo, I, I happened to be downstairs at your house, would you like to come down here?"
"Hey! Nana, are you downstairs? Why don't you just come up?"
"No, no... no, no, um, sister Nuonuo, you'd better come down. I, I won't go up."
"Okay, then wait for me."
"Um..."
All are all...
downstairs.
Reina hung up the phone, still clutching the phone tightly, with a nervous and hesitant look on her face.
Reina never thought that yesterday she came to visit Annuo and learned that Annuo's brother moved in with her. As a result, today she discovered that Annuo's brother was actually the person she liked!
This this...
The reason why she is so entangled, nervous, and even hesitant now is that she knows the importance of Annuo's brother to Annuo.
Before she moved out, Annuo often mentioned this brother to her. Reina, who is also a woman, knew very well that Sister Nono had great love for this brother and was a complete lover. The brother-in-law, even...
Even Reina was embarrassed to say it, but she had a vague feeling that Annuo seemed to have a deeper love for her brother than between "sister and brother".
Reina was offended by her idea before, but today...
Liao Ji couldn't see any connection with Annuo in terms of appearance or surname, so Reina could almost tell that the siblings were probably only "in name" and not actually related by blood.
That...
Lena couldn't imagine what happened next.
Even if she does think too much, Annuo's cherishment of her younger brother is real, and what she has to do now is to snatch her favorite brother away from Annuo. Such a thing. ..
Reina felt very sorry for Annuo just thinking about it.
Annuo may not be able to accept it. Although Sister Annuo is gentle and kind on the surface, Reina knows that if there is anything that Annuo must not touch, it is undoubtedly her brother.
Can...
Do you want to give up on your own?
When Reina ran away, she did have such an idea. After all, Annuo was the first person she met in this city, and he was the closest person to her. It would not be too much to say that he was a relative.
But...but...!
The pink-haired woman clutched her phone again.
From the moment she made this call to Annuo to ask Annuo to come down, Reina already knew what she was thinking.
she...
don't want!
For the first time, I have someone I like, for the first time I have someone I can go shopping with, take photos with, and play games with...
She doesn't want it!
She just likes Liao Ji!
I just want to spend my whole life with young people!
For this she is willing to pay no matter how much and overcome no matter how many difficulties!
Even Anno...
Can't let her give up either!
As this belief rose in her heart, Reina suddenly felt as if she felt a lot more relaxed. She even felt that some seals in her mind were faintly loosening, and some memory images of Mohu began to flash past her eyes.
It was like the "Falling" world she was currently developing, and she seemed to have really become a character in it, a succubus princess, while Liao Ji became a human lord and the savior of the world. They experienced it together. A lot of them...
When Lena wanted to catch something again, she felt a tingling sensation in the depths of her mind, stopping her from continuing to explore. As if it wasn't enough, she still needed something...
Just at this moment, footsteps sounded from behind Reina, followed by a familiar soft voice.
"Nana, what's wrong with you? Are you dizzy?"
"No...I'm fine..."
Annuo seemed to have a magical power that could make people relax. It had always been like this. Reina shook her head at the blond woman who cared about her. The severe headache faded away like a tide with the arrival of Annuo.
As for those memories and influences, Reina regarded them as random thoughts caused by being too nervous.
"Nono, I actually asked you to come down because I wanted to tell you something."
"Huh? Do you have anything to say outside?" The blond woman tilted her head curiously.
"Sister Nono, your brother came home just now, right?"
"Eh!? Nana, why are you...ah! Wait a minute, do you mean..."
Looking at the blond woman opposite who seemed to realize something and covered her mouth a little, Reina nodded.
"I only found out when I sent him home today. It turns out...it turns out that what I told Sister Nuonuo yesterday was that the person I like is..."
"That's your brother."
Reina took the risk and closed her eyes as if she was going to be judged after she finished speaking.
She had already prepared Annuo's attitude towards her, but suddenly she turned around and became cold and even hostile.
Can...
"That's it..."
"Phew! Great! Then I'll feel relieved!"
The sound from Nono, who seemed very happy and mixed with some surprises, sounded in Reina's ears.
This caused the pink-haired woman to open her eyes immediately with shock on her face.
"What are you doing, Nana? What's your expression like? Don't you think I will... resist you because of this?"
"me..."
When Annuo said it right, Reina lowered her head in embarrassment.
Now it was the blonde's turn to look angry.
"Nana, what am I in your mind? A super brother-controller? Well, I admit that I really like my brother, but because of this, I hope that Xiao Ji can also be happy and find a man. A good match!"
"A while ago, Xiao Ji came home and told me that he has someone he likes. Although I support him, I am still a little troubled. What if he is deceived by some other scumbag outside? After all, Xiao Ji So simple, but now it’s better!”
"If the person Xiao Ji likes is Nana, then I can feel relieved!"
As Annuo spoke, he also held Reina's hand. Her green eyes were full of sincerity and happiness.
"Really...really? Nono, do you really...don't mind?"
"Although it is a bit annoying to think about my brother being abducted by another woman, but...of course, I don't mind at all. After all, I have always regarded Nana as my sister. This would be the opposite. How about...hehe, we are really a family now!"
Looking across from Annuo who seemed to be looking forward to a better future, Reina felt incredible, everything seemed like a dream.
She thought it was the saddest and most difficult test, but actually...
So simple?
"Okay, look at you, if you're still worried, let's go to the head office of Lagou. Anyone who lies is a puppy!"
Annuo took the initiative and stretched out his little finger towards the pink-haired woman opposite.
"Okay, it's a lie! It's a puppy!"
"It's a puppy!"
After the two of them finished the "puppy agreement", Reina was completely relieved. After all, she knew Annuo. The founder of Tangtang Senmeng was a woman with strong self-esteem. If she broke the contract and became a puppy, It seems like a joke, but in reality, for a strong woman like Annuo, it works better than anything else.
Even if Annuo really regrets it later, driven by her self-esteem, she will definitely hide it in order to not be a "puppy", at least not show it openly.
wrong!
What's wrong with me!
Annuo had obviously told her many times that she didn't mind anymore and even blessed herself, but why did she always regard Annuo as an imaginary enemy!
Couldn't she even trust Nuonuo?
"Well, let's do this for today. I'm going back to Nono first. I still have some work in the company waiting for me to deal with..." Reina was a little ashamed of the darkness in her heart and wanted to go back and calm down.
Annuo nodded in understanding.
"Yeah, thank you for your hard work Nana, and oh, don't forget what we said yesterday."
"You said that yesterday?"
"Yes, didn't I say that I will fully support Nana in your relationship? Now it's even better. If he is our younger brother, it will be easier for me to help Nana with assists!"
"Then, I'll leave it to you, Sister Nuonuo!"
"Hmph, leave it to me!"
The last blond woman waved goodbye to Reina's car as she drove away. After watching Reina leave, she turned around and went back upstairs to go home.
After opening the door, as expected, there was a young man sitting on the sofa, holding his head, also in confusion and pain.
There is a certain connection between Reina's and Lord Liao Ji's perceptions.
When one party loosens their "memory", the other party can also recall something.
Annuo quickly came to the sofa and sat next to the young man.
"Xiao Ji, what's wrong?"
"Sister Nuonuo, I...I don't know. I always feel that there are many people waiting for me. I shouldn't be like this. What do I have to do, but I...I can't remember. It's obviously the last I can't forget it, but I...I..."
The blond woman hugged the young man and held Liao Ji in her arms. With the emerald green fluorescence emitting from Annuo's body, the young man who was in pain and struggling gradually calmed down.
Afterwards, Annuo put the young man's head between his knees and gently stroked Liao Ji's black hair with his fingers.
"it does not matter..."
"You have worked hard enough. If you take a short nap, those friends who are waiting for you will not blame you. What's more, you didn't keep everyone waiting for a long time."
It took more than a year for Liao Ji to travel to "The Fall", and on Blue Star, 28 years passed from 2023 to 2051.
In the end, Lena allowed Liao Ji to return to the physical body of the character of "Hai Jin" at the cost of "replacement", and then Liao Ji went to recover Lena, but it was just a few days ago, but Director Lei on Blue Star , appeared several months earlier than Liao Ji.
One day in the fairy world is one year in the human world.
Falling and Blue Star should have been like this, which can be confirmed by the disappearance of Emperor Hui Jin for "five hundred years".
But now it's the other way around.
A year on the Blue Star may be equal to a few days in the Falling World. The variable in between, or in other words, the biggest difference between what happened on the Blue Star when Liao Ji entered the Falling World is...
Back then, there was only "The Fall" on Blue Star, and it only had tens of thousands of players. "The Fall" was so niche that it couldn't be any more niche.
And now "Fall 2" has a huge player base of tens of millions around the world.
Falling has already had a different influence on Blue Star.
Let Annuo have more authority.
Such as adjusting time.
Therefore, although three days had passed when Liao Ji returned to the Blue Star, it might have only been a few hours before he actually arrived in the fallen world.
"Xiao Ji, do you still remember that in the story my sister told you, the elves are the guardians of the world? It should be my sister's responsibility to protect the world, so don't worry and leave it to your sister. There is no need to force yourself so much."
"But...but..."
The young man in the lap pillow was still a little stubborn. He seemed unwilling to obey his sister's arrangements and wanted to fulfill his duties. He should shoulder the burden.
In response, like a sister who has nothing to do with her younger brother, the blond woman shook her head helplessly.
"Xiaoji, if this is your wish, then as an elf, my sister has to help you realize it. As for the way to realize it, we have actually done it many times before."
There is indeed a way to speed up Liao Ji's recovery.
Annuo did indeed do that.
But today.
The blond woman reached out and took out the mobile phone in Liao Ji's pocket. After opening the mobile phone, she saw the intimate photo of Reina and the young man inside...
Liao Ji stared at Liao Ji who had been tricked by Nono into the back room, and found that Nono inside seemed different from before, assuming a very new posture.
This can't help but shock the young version of Liao Ji, and for a while he was a little confused.
"Nono, you...what are you doing?"
"Sister, I want something exciting! I'm tired of being an elf. Occasionally, I also want to experience other species, for example..."
"Compared to, for example?"
"Woof!"
