Chapter 2 Otaku
"Please, it's only a little past eleven o'clock."
Tangcao's ahoge (cowlick) twitched.
"To be precise, it's already 11:34. We usually refer to anything past 11 as almost 12 o'clock, not 11 o'clock."
Tang Zijun raised his index finger.
"And what do you mean 'only a little past eleven'? It's already late at night, okay?"
"What do you mean late at night? Don't you know that midnight is the starting point for us night owls? Bro, don't disturb my cultivation, okay?" Tang Cao turned his head, his eyes fixed on the computer.
"If you're cultivating immortality, can't you at least consider the feelings of a mere mortal like me?"
"Brother, you're too weak. An old guy like you, almost thirty, can't keep up with us young people anymore." Tang Cao said without turning his head.
Approaching 30?
Tang Zijun instinctively clutched her chest, her lips trembling slightly.
"I'm only twenty-six, you brat! Go to sleep right now!"
"Eek! I haven't finished my [Chain Battle] yet! This is the only way to get new pill recipes, rare items, armor, and other good stuff!"
Having said that, Tang Cao's eyes turned and he smiled at Tang Zijun.
"Brother, why don't you play with me? Consider it as gaining experience for your novel writing. You've been saying you're having writer's block, haven't you?"
"No, I need to get up early tomorrow to go shopping, and this game is offline, so I can play it anytime. Why do you have to stay up all night to play it?"
Tang Zijun glanced at the computer screen. In fact, he had seen the monkey on the screen as soon as he came in.
"It's because of your bad sleep schedule that I haven't been able to get a proper rest for days, you know? Go to sleep now, or I won't buy you any new games when they come out in the future."
"what?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Cao panicked. She threw the game controller aside, then crawled to Tang Zijun's side without any image, pulling his arm and shaking it.
"Brother, please let me play a little longer, just a little while. I'll be done soon, I just need to defeat two more bosses, please~"
Tang Zijun swung his arm, but couldn't break free from Tang Cao's grasp. He stared speechlessly at the girl in front of him.
"You said the same thing last time when you were fighting the Tiger Vanguard, and you ended up fighting all night long, so this time it's off the table. You'd better go to sleep."
"But I can't sleep. If I don't finish playing tonight, I'll keep thinking about it."
"Perfect timing, you fell asleep while I was thinking about you."
"No, I can't sleep at all when I have something on my mind. Even if I do fall asleep, I'll have nightmares, and that will still disturb your sleep."
"Don't make excuses. If you're having nightmares, wait until then. Right now, all you need to do is sleep."
"Please, brother, I beg you."
Tang Cao blinked, as if trying to squeeze out a few tears.
But when she saw that Tang Zijun's expression was still determined, she couldn't help but feel suspicious.
This trick used to work very well; her brother couldn't stand her coquettishness the most. But for some reason, her brother suddenly became tough today.
Upon discovering this, Tangcao immediately opted for a new tactic.
Suddenly, she leaned close to Tang Zijun, half of her body resting on his chest. Then, Tang Cao slowly raised her head, her eyes filled with seriousness.
"Brother, let me play for a little while, I promise, I'll wash my own clothes from now on."
But hidden beneath Tangcao's face was a secret joy in her heart.
Hehehe. A beautiful young woman offering housework in exchange is an irresistible offensive for a nearly 30-year-old single man!
But before she could even finish smiling to herself, Tang Zijun's large hand pressed down on the top of her head.
"Come on, you said the same thing when I bought you the Arceus Legend before, but you couldn't even stick with it for two days."
Seeing that her skills had failed again, Tang Cao pouted, her cheeks puffed out, and she glared fiercely at Tang Zijun.
"Don't look at me like that. I'm doing this for your own good. You have school tomorrow, and I don't want to go through all the trouble of waking you up again."
With that, Tang Zijun pushed Tang Cao onto the bed.
"You have five minutes to wash up and go to bed, or you can forget about getting the DLC later."
Before Tang Cao could react, Tang Zijun swiftly left the room and closed the door behind her.
Tang Zijun rushed back to her room, knocked on the door, and gently patted her chest.
The latest novel is first published here!
Thank goodness, thank goodness I was determined enough, otherwise I almost couldn't help but give in.
That brat Tang Cao is so nonsensical! She keeps pushing herself to the limit. She was such a polite and considerate girl at first, how did she slowly turn into this?
Perhaps because Tang Zijun was an orphan in his previous life, he cherishes his family even more in this life and truly regards his parents and sister as his own family.
For Tang Zijun, it was his family that allowed him to persist in fighting against those weirdos in the mirror plane for three consecutive years.
In three years, Tang Zijun fell down again and again, and got up again and again.
As the only Kamen Rider in the world capable of personally entering the Mirror Dimension to fight, he has no backup or anyone to help him. He can only rely on his own wisdom and perseverance to continuously learn stronger skills and defeat stronger enemies.
Finally, after a long three-year struggle, Tang Zijun successfully defeated the ruler of the Mirror Dimension and completely wiped out the evil forces of the Reversal World. He himself also got into the university he wanted.
Looking back, it was a memory he would cherish for a lifetime.
After being admitted to university, Tang Zijun completely returned to the normal world. He graduated like an ordinary person, found a job like an ordinary person, and became unemployed like an ordinary person.
Now, his only source of income is online writing, a relatively free profession. Although the income is not very stable, there is no annoying overtime work.
The only thing that gave him a real headache was probably his younger sister, Tang Cao, who had just started high school.
Tangcao moved here from her hometown half a year ago. In order to give her a better learning environment, her parents spent a lot of money to send her to a key high school in Xuecheng.
Tang Cao lived up to expectations; her studies were always among the best, and even in a top high school, she was still able to secure a place in the top two and strive for first.
At that time, Tang Zijun was still wandering from city to city without a stable place to stay. After learning about this, Tang Zijun's father called him, hoping that he could live with Tang Cao and take care of his younger sister.
As an older brother, isn't it his duty to take care of his younger sister? Tang Zijun, upon receiving the call, naturally wouldn't refuse.
However, after the two actually lived together, Tang Zijun discovered that there seemed to be some invisible barriers between her and her sister.
Perhaps it was the estrangement from not seeing each other for so long, or perhaps it was the generation gap of being ten years apart; in any case, during the first month the brother and sister spent together, they maintained a distance and politeness towards each other.
As the memory ended, Tang Zijun looked up at the ceiling.
So, when exactly did Tangcao turn into a homebody?
