“How come I feel like I’m living off a woman’s money?”
Looking at the brand-new, just unboxed, latest model Laptop placed on the Small square table, Watanabe Yu fell into a brief silence.
The Saintess seemed to have Exploded gold coins for him again.
This time, it wasn't just a little bit.
He had just checked the specifications of this Laptop; it was the top configuration for mobile devices in this era.
The only slight regret was that this computer was a Laptop rather than a desktop.
However...
Heaven knows if the Saintess did it on purpose, but inside the original Laptop packaging, she had tucked in a piece of paper with four simple characters: Voluntary Gift.
It truly left him Laughing and crying.
【Isn't this a bit too valuable?】
Taking out his Mobile phone, Watanabe Yu tapped into the Chat Interface with Amemiya Ayana. After glancing at that familiar Ragdoll Cat avatar, he typed out this line of text and hit send.
About ten seconds later, the message showed as read, and Amemiya Ayana’s reply arrived as expected.
However, contrary to his expectation, this time Amemiya Ayana didn't answer his question at all; instead, she posed a new one.
【Do you like it?】
Staring at those three glaring words on the Mobile phone screen, Watanabe Yu was suddenly at a loss for words.
He suddenly began to understand why those Overbearing CEO dramas were so popular.
But my Brothers can handle it!
【Why aren't you talking? Is it that this Laptop isn't to your liking?】
Amemiya Ayana on the other end seemed to have lost her usual patience. Seeing that Watanabe Yu hadn't replied, she sent another message after about ten seconds.
【It’s not that I don’t like it, I just suddenly went quiet and don’t know how to reply to you.】
This was his Truth.
The message instantly showed as read, and after more than ten seconds, Ayana’s reply appeared on his Mobile phone screen.
【If you like it, you like it; if you don't, you don't. There’s no such thing as not knowing how to reply. If you don't like it, we’ll return it. You pick one you like, and tell me, and I’ll buy it for you.】
Even through the screen, Watanabe Yu could feel the overwhelming wave of immense wealth washing over him.
What a genuine Young Miss looks like.jpg
【I do like it quite a bit, but there’s no need for a gift. After I finish the complete Norwegian Wood, I will transfer the money for the Laptop to you.】
Watanabe Yu wasn't overly sentimental.
He indeed needed a Laptop right now; with this thing, he could greatly improve his manuscript writing efficiency.
Based on his input speed before Transmigration, which was comparable to an Advanced typist, replicating the complete Norwegian Wood would take him less than a week if he worked a little Overtime.
When he received the manuscript fee, he would then transfer the money for the Laptop.
Some favors can be accepted, but some cannot.
【What you said sounds very distant.】
On the other end of the network, Amemiya Ayana, looking at her Mobile phone screen, curled the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile.
A significant part of the reason she could show her unguarded side to the 'Frost Ogre' was here.
Although he occasionally said things that made people Laugh and cry, and he liked to engage in suggestive behavior, deep down, he was a person of strong Principle.
However, she genuinely hoped he would accept a small token of her affection.
【It’s not about being distant; it’s that some things just shouldn't be accepted. You can call me sentimental, or say I adhere to unnecessary Principles, but in short, I will pay you for the Laptop later.】
Watanabe Yu would not take such a favor.
【So what you mean is, this is a loan purchase for now?】
The smile on Amemiya Ayana’s face grew brighter.
The current development was slightly beyond her expectations, but overall, it hadn't deviated from the main direction.
【Something like that.】
Although he felt the other party's statement sounded like an Opening Move in certain situations, Watanabe Yu still gave an affirmative answer.
【Is there interest on a personal loan?】
Amemiya Ayana continued to gently guide him.
【Generally, yes.】
Watanabe Yu frowned slightly; he instinctively felt that the situation was starting to develop in the wrong direction.
【As interest, you’ll do me a small favor later, no problem, right? Don't worry, it’s nothing that will put you in a difficult position.】
Amemiya Ayana typed this sentence.
Then, she thought for a moment and sent another message immediately after.
【This is to Cope with my family.】
In a sense, this wasn't an Excuse; the reality was indeed so.
Since he had already created the illusion of staying out overnight, he should logically continue to maintain that illusion.
Even if everyone clearly knew what was actually going on.
【Fine.】
Watanabe Yu agreed after half a second of thought.
【I will set the time and the specific content, is that okay?】
She didn't have much time recently; her schedule was packed, and there were many things she needed to participate in.
According to her itinerary, the earliest she would be free would be next week.
【No problem.】
Watanabe Yu agreed quite readily.
His thinking was straightforward: since I’ve already agreed, there’s no issue with letting you decide the time and specific content as well.
【I am looking forward to the complete Norwegian Wood, Mr. Ogre, please work hard!】
Amemiya Ayana frankly expressed her thoughts.
Heh.
Looking at this line of text, Watanabe Yu suddenly burst out laughing.
So, she’s already starting to Urge for manuscript now, huh.
【Got it, but I’m the Knight who works hard!】
He would indeed grind hard, as this related to his stable income going forward.
However, he still had to tease her verbally.
As a Transmigrator, how could he be so easily pressured to submit manuscripts!
Don't even think about it.jpg
【Aren't you the Frost Ogre?】
Looking at Watanabe Yu’s reply, Amemiya Ayana’s lips curved slightly upward, and her slender fingers tapped lightly on the screen, sending back this message.
【When you are out in the world, your identity is what you make it.】
How could a true man be bound by just one identity!
A few seconds later, Amemiya Ayana’s reply arrived.
【Leg Photo.jpg】
After glancing at the dazzlingly white long legs on the screen a few times, Watanabe Yu calmly saved the picture and put away his Mobile phone.
Heh, one picture is nothing. See if you dare send a few more!?
Shaking his head, Watanabe Yu stood up and walked to the Stove.
He had already washed the Food container the Old Granny next door had lent him, but just returning it like that wouldn't do.
He had to give a Return Gift of some sort.
He basically knew all the dishes the Old Granny liked.
Compared to spicy food, the old lady preferred dishes that weren't too strongly flavored.
But unfortunately, among the dishes he knew that weren't strongly flavored, there were only a few.
Looking at the current state of the Refrigerator, either he lacked ingredients or had no ingredients at all. The only thing he could make was the classic of classics: Fried rice with eggs.
He would make this for dinner and as a Return Gift.
Thinking this, Watanabe Yu picked up the Egg he had casually taken from the Refrigerator when he came back.
2/2
It’s better, but still hard to bear.
Damn it!
As usual, asking for votes ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
