MTL NOVEL 35: I Reckon
Ye Lan came to Ling Miao’s room to absorb knowledge.
After all, the boss had ordered her to quickly master her Star.
However, Ye Lan, a small novice, only had a superficial understanding of Stars. To explore her potential, she needed to grasp more knowledge.
Of course, perhaps she could use the power of “I reckon,” and maybe it would work instantly.
Ye Lan could also self-study, but it was too boring.
Some things might be incomprehensible, and having someone explain might be more efficient.
Anyway, if left to her own devices, she’d probably start slacking off and lying around after just a few minutes.
Once a person starts to slack off, that’s how it goes.
Ling Miao, on the other hand, was happy to teach Ye Lan. After all, it could highlight her senior status, making Ye Lan subconsciously form the idea that everything the senior says is correct. This way, Ling Miao could use more methods to “bully” her.
Just thinking about it was exciting.
As for Bai Yu, she now also needed to know some common knowledge.
Her family members were all Night Watchers, and she herself possessed a Star. She would inevitably become a Night Watcher sooner or later.
Doing some homework beforehand was a good thing.
Of course, Bai Yu would rather play with Ye Lan.
Moreover, Bai Yu discovered something: Ling Miao’s aggressiveness towards Ye Lan was too strong!
So strong that if she wasn’t by Ye Lan’s side, Ling Miao might recklessly “bully” Ye Lan.
Bai Yu was quite sensitive to emotional aspects.
So she decided she must stay by Ye Lan’s side to protect her friend!
“Um meow… Bai Yu, why do you keep staring at me?” Ling Miao noticed Bai Yu’s strange gaze.
“Am I?” Bai Yu smiled.
“Yes, I can feel it.”
“I don’t think so?”
“No, no, no, it’s definitely there meow.”
Ling Miao felt uneasy.
Because Bai Yu’s gaze contained too much scrutiny, as if she was wary of what Ling Miao might do.
But heaven knows, she hadn’t done anything!
She just often placed her gaze on Ye Lan and occasionally let out strange laughs.
[Oh no meow, although Bai Yu is a bit younger than me and looks cute and obedient, she seems quite intimidating. Her gaze is just like Senior Bai Tu’s. They really are sisters.]
If Bai Yu was always by Ye Lan’s side, Ling Miao wouldn’t dare to launch attacks on Ye Lan.
Wuu wuu wuu~
At this moment, Ye Lan checked the time.
“It’s three o’clock, let’s go for afternoon tea~”
After Ye Lan had told Bai Tu to take care of all future afternoon teas and snacks, Bai Tu had transferred a large sum of money to Ye Lan, saying she should eat whatever she wanted, and if it wasn’t enough, just ask for more. She was extremely generous.
At that time, Ye Lan stared at the long string of numbers in her account, dumbfounded.
This wasn’t just snack money; it was probably enough for a lifetime of meals.
Is this what a beautiful young rich lady is like?
It’s really scary.
Sometimes Ye Lan even had the illusion of being kept.
“Um meow? Eating snacks? Sure, I’m feeling a bit hungry.” Ling Miao licked her cherry lips, already starting to look forward to it.
Naturally, Ling Miao was very willing to accept Ye Lan’s invitation.
“Mm.” Bai Yu also nodded in agreement.
Then the three lolis formed a group and headed to the snack shop, creating a beautiful sight that attracted the gazes of many Night Watchers.
After arriving at the snack shop, the three sat around a table.
Shortly after sitting down, a robot came to inquire.
“What service do you need, customers?”
Ye Lan pondered briefly.
“How about we order some drinks first?”
Ling Miao energetically raised a hand: “I want lemonade, with lots of ice meow~”
Bai Yu thought for a moment and smiled, “Then I’ll have a glass of orange juice.”
Ye Lan hesitated for a moment and also ordered a juice.
“I want watermelon juice.”
“Please wait a moment.”
The robot didn’t leave, perhaps it had transmitted the information to the order processing department.
The three of them were also thinking about what snacks to eat, carefully selecting from the dazzling array on the menu.
Looking at the two cute little lolis beside her, Ye Lan couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
Since becoming a loli, she had started to make more friends.
And such interesting friends at that.
As for why they were all lolis, she didn’t know.
Could it be that she had some constitution that attracted lolis?
Anyway, it wasn’t because she was a lolicon that she became friends with them, it could only be called a wonderful fate!
This pace of life… seems not bad at all.
…
At home.
Gurgle gurgle~
Ye Xing, sitting on the sofa playing games, was hungry again.
Every time Ye Lan ate something, it would affect Ye Xing, who was wasting away at home.
Then she had to spend time foraging for food.
Just as Ye Xing was about to look for some snacks in the storage cabinet, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.
“Hm?”
Ye Xing’s identity didn’t involve any messy social components, so friends and such coming to find her were ruled out.
So the person knocking on the door could only be the neighbor next door.
“Ye Xing, are you home? I made too many snacks again, so I came to share them with you.”
Mo Tu’s gentle voice sounded, confirming Ye Xing’s guess.
What a strange neighbor.
He always seems to come with snacks when her stomach is a bit hungry.
“Hmm…” Ye Xing sat on the sofa pondering for a while, but still went to open the door.
Seeing the smiling black-haired young man standing at the door, Ye Xing couldn’t help but ask, “Um… why is it that every time you make snacks, you always make extra?”
“……”
This question made Mo Tu fall silent.
Ye Xing cast a curious gaze, waiting for his answer.
“Well… I don’t know either. Perhaps subconsciously I want to share the snacks I make, so I inexplicably make too much.”
“Umm… I see.”
Ye Xing seemed to understand this feeling.
When she was still in school, she would buy extra snacks on the way and share them with her close roommates.
So now when Mo Tu makes snacks, does he always think about sharing them with her?
If there’s no strange motive, then he’s truly a world-class good neighbor~
“Then I’ll accept them, thank you.”
Ye Xing bashfully accepted the snacks from Mo Tu’s hand.
“No need to be polite. If you encounter any troubles at home later, you can come next door to find me. Perhaps I can help.”
“Mmm.”
Then Mo Tu turned and left.
Ye Xing returned to her room with a bag of warm snacks and started to taste them directly from the bag.
Crunch~
“Mm~ Delicious. Having a neighbor who can make snacks is too great~”
Ye Xing happily narrowed her eyes and finished the snacks in no time.
Although the amount of snacks wasn’t enough to fill her up, it satisfied her craving.
Ye Xing quickly recovered her state and prepared to continue having fun.
But just as she got back to bed, she thought of a question.
“Come to think of it, should I go check out the theater?”
Staying at home idle is just being idle, and it’s not possible to play games all day, so it’s probably better to go to the Sunrise Theater to check in and make her presence felt.
After all, she is a Spectator~
Moreover, playing games at the theater seems no different from playing at home, as there’s no one there anyway.
Changing the atmosphere might provide a different experience.
“Hmm~ I’ll go to the theater later. Watching the director and others practice their performances seems quite nice too.”
However, Ye Xing decided to go after dinner, otherwise she’d be hungry again.
