Although they bicker and fight every time they see each other, the two little ones are still twins after all, and they have a very good relationship. When Shen Liang saw Rosalia and Lilia's long hair bobbing up and down with their breathing, his brain, which was engaged in the thinking of a reliable adult, relaxed a lot.
He closed the door, took off his coat, kicked off his shoes, got into bed, picked up the quilt and made it up again, then lay down properly in the middle and tucked the quilt in.
The two little girls groggily opened their eyes and glanced around, but perhaps because they had been playing games too late, they were still too sleepy to get up. So, like caterpillars, they twisted to his left and right sides, hugged his arms, and rested their heads under his head, continuing their sweet dreams.
Shen Liang gently stroked her two younger sisters' hair, and feeling the drowsiness from a long day, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
------
Three days later, the seawater rice seeds that Shen Liang had arranged to purchase domestically arrived.
When the deliveryman arrived, Shen Liang was playing League of Legends with Rosalia. Rosalia had been playing the game for a year and was still in the Bronze rank, which basically meant she was in the late stages of cancer. But she loved playing. Although Lilia and Bronya were also in high ranks, they didn't want to carry this burden and help her climb the ranks, so Rosalia had no choice but to ask him for help.
Shen Liang bought her a Platinum account for duo queue, where she played Kayn in the jungle, Rosalia's Yuumi, and Ezreal in the bot lane.
It's obvious that the AD carry player is indeed a Diamond player. When he saw the jungler and support picks, he realized that he would have to sacrifice himself in this game. So he picked Ezreal, who has strong self-preservation ability and can even solo the bot lane. He even specifically chose Heal instead of Teleport, which is commonly used in this version, to protect Yuumi.
Even though he was mentally prepared, he didn't expect Rosalia to be this bad. In order to get some passive, she was hooked six times by the enemy Thresh in ten minutes and didn't survive. She even asked him why he didn't use Heal!
It's been eleven minutes and Yuumi still hasn't reached level six. He thought that once Yuumi reached level six, he and the jungler would be free! He wanted to hold back from criticizing because of the jungler's godlike performance, but when Yuumi came back online and got solo-killed by Thresh, he really couldn't stand it anymore!
Except for Yasuo: I understand you're carrying a girl, but at least drop a few ranks first before you do it. This is Platinum/Diamond ranked, and you're carrying a bot game, so how can you expect to get a bit of a rip-off?
Shen Liang remained silent, but Rosalia couldn't stand it.
Cherry, the older brother: Who are you calling a bot! I have an 85% win rate against bots! Platinum isn't that great. My brother and I have played so many games and we've always won. It's only when we meet you that we can't beat the bot lane!
Goodnight, except for Yasuo: ...
Goodnight Yasuo (except for Yasuo): Bro, I don't want to be too blunt, after all, this was a promotion match, but an honest player who's carrying a girl should walk down the lane himself. You're being unfair.
Shen Liang remained silent; he would rather be criticized than play AD.
Rosalia simply stayed in the hot spring and didn't come out, typing away furiously to lane against the AD carry. At this point, the mid laner Viktor couldn't stand it anymore and joined the fray.
Joining the glorious evolution: Ha, I really envy some girls who can just call out "brother" and their boyfriends will help them reach Diamond rank. I'm getting chased and beaten to a pulp by your boyfriends, damn it.
When it comes to fighting against those who try to climb the ranks by cheating, League of Legends players are surprisingly united.
This was quite aggressive. Shen Liang turned his head to see if Rosalia would be so angry that she would cry, but when he turned back, he found Rosalia staring at the screen with her lips turned up extremely high. She was practically... no, she was already laughing out loud.
What are you laughing at?! You're the worst!
Just then, the doorbell rang. Shen Liang was instantly killed by the enemy mid laner's flash combo, his teammates suffered a crushing defeat, and the enemy team secured the dragon and pushed forward. Someone started surrendering, making it 3-1 in an instant. Shen Liang smiled and pressed confirm.
"Hey! Why are you surrendering? Rosalia thinks there's still a chance to pull something off!"
"Go get the package." Shen Liang pinched the little girl's cheek.
Rosalia ran to the door, opened it, and after a brief conversation with the post office clerk, returned carrying a cardboard box and a file folder.
“Brother, brother, it’s not just a seed, it’s also a letter from you.”
"A letter?" Shen Liang was puzzled. He had almost no acquaintances in Japan and received mostly official letters from publishing houses or the tax bureau. Why would someone write to him?
Rather, people don't write letters these days; they usually send emails.
"Wow, it's sealed with lipstick! No way, Rosalia has to keep an eye on it for Bronya!" Rosalia rushed over as soon as she saw the opened letter, very wary.
“This isn’t lipstick, it’s sealed with wax.” Shen Liang said, noticing the seal on the wax. Then, looking at the sender’s name, he paused slightly. “Schariac… a letter from the Schariat family, but the sender’s name is Theresa Apocalypse.”
Dear Mr. Shen Liang:
We apologize for informing you in such a sudden way, but we have discovered that you have used extremely sophisticated hacking techniques to forge your identity, creating a 21-year-old Mr. Shen Liang on the internet as your public persona. Your hacking skills have even blocked the Japanese government until now, which is enough to call you a genius.
Furthermore, we have discovered that you have connections with Russian mercenary forces overseas, the reasons for which are unclear.
A mysterious genius like yourself is dangerous, and what's interesting is that my niece, Kiana Schariac, now lives in your private residence. She's an overly enthusiastic and energetic troublemaker, and I hope you two can get along well.
However, as Kiana's aunt, I have to consider her safety. Although I personally do not believe you pose a threat to Kiana, the Schariac family values this daughter highly and has repeatedly instructed me to keep a close eye on her, so I may need to keep a close watch on Kiana's life.
Therefore, we would like to ask if you have any intention of joining St. Freya Academy, or if you would like to bring your sister with you? Our school has always adhered to the philosophy of recruiting gifted children, and our education system is very suitable for extraordinary individuals like you who have mature thinking and are even extremely capable.
Please do not rush to refuse. St. Freya Academy is not affiliated with the Schariac family, and I, Theresa Apocalypse, as the headmistress, am neither a relative nor a supporter of the Schariac family. I hope you will enroll out of responsibility to Kiana and consideration for you. Even if you are unwilling, St. Freya Academy will not reduce its supervision of you.
This is not a threat, but a statement made out of desperation, which I hope you will understand.
If you wish to visit the school, please inform Kiana directly. Please do not search for St. Freya Academy online or on maps; our school is a completely private institution, and searching for related information will be a waste of your time.
Thank you for your cooperation!
德丽莎·阿波卡利斯
[Respectfully yours]
Chapter Twenty-Six: People say I'm padding my writing when I write about daily life.
Shen Liang's first reaction after reading it was that it was machine-translated.
It's obvious that this letter was written in another language and then translated into Chinese. The original author was probably unfamiliar with Chinese culture, at most only familiar with the Chinese language, so although the wording is polite, the writing style is still noticeably stiff.
The fact that such poorly crafted and even rather casual writing came from the hand of a school principal either indicates that the school doesn't care about him, or that the school itself is not very good.
Although this judgment was arbitrary, Shen Liang genuinely doubted the legitimacy of this so-called St. Freya Academy. It couldn't be found on the internet or on any map, and such a school didn't seem like a legitimate place at all.
He didn't trust Kiana yet, and he distrusted this school of dubious origin even more. If St. Freya Academy wanted to monitor him, so be it; it was unlikely that their surveillance of Kiana would extend to his home.
His current focus is on exploring Teyvat, and he doesn't have time to deal with Kiana's family, her aunt, or those random schools that sound like all-girls schools.
"Brother, do you want some Pocky?" Lilia sat down on the sofa to his right.
Shen Liang turned her head and saw her coming closer with a blueberry-flavored Pocky stick in her mouth, like a cute little animal.
"Mmm mmm mmm." Lilia gestured for him to take the other end.
This is a game that people who get along well in the orphanage often play. Two people hold the two ends of a long strip of food and bite towards the middle to see who can eat the most.
Shen Liang made a symbolic bite, and then Lilia suddenly abandoned her ladylike and cute appearance, and with a big bite, she took a large chunk of Pocky and charged at him like a tiger descending a mountain!
Shen Liang skillfully bit off the Pocky and turned his head, only to have the blue-haired little tiger bite his left cheek, leaving a faint chocolate sauce mark.
"Tsk." Lilia clicked her tongue noticeably.
Rosalia, who was still watching the game replay, belatedly realized what was happening. Enraged, she pounced on Lilia, pinned her to the ground, and raised her little fist: "You ran away again! I'll kill you!"
Shen Liang picked up his cola. "Speaking of which, where's Kiana?"
"What are you doing?" Kiana leaped down from the second floor, landing lightly, and casually picked up a Pocky stick from Lilia's plate. "Landlord, are you going on a trip to another world?"
"Don't worry, a school principal who claims to be your aunt sent me a letter. Do you want to take a look?"
"Damn it! Aunt Flo?" Kiana took the book, her face darkened after reading the first few pages, and she became quite depressed after finishing it. "Landlord, do you want me to move out now... No way, I don't want to live at St. Freya's. What's the difference between that and staying at Shaniat's house all the time?"
Observing Kiana's reaction, Shen Liang confirmed that the Shaniat family did indeed believe that his "21-year-old adult male" persona on the internet was created by him through hacking. Fortunately, he hadn't left many photos online, and after Bronya cleaned them up, he was indeed much safer now.
But this is only temporary. The truth will eventually come out. If the Shaniat family is willing to conduct a thorough investigation, they will find that the traces he left in many places could not have been done by a "fifteen-year-old child prodigy".
For example, the clothes he buys online are all in adult male body shape.
But the Shaniat family might think he deliberately bought oversized clothes to create a fake persona.
"I just wanted to confirm if this letter is real or fake. Since it is indeed a letter from your relative, there's no need to pay attention to it." Shen Liang had just finished speaking when he suddenly thought of the Coral Palace's Xin Hai matter. He changed the subject, "By the way, do you have time to go shopping with me?"
"Hey, I'm your tenant, not your girlfriend!" Kiana's eyes widened, then she laughed. "Unless..."
"I'll cover all the expenses."
"Deal~"
Shen Liang brought up Rosalia, "Where did you buy that maid outfit you bought the other day?"
Rosalia's little maid outfit was exquisitely made, clearly not the kind of cheaply made goods sold in online stores, so Shen Liang was certain that she had bought it from outside.
"Brother, do you want to see maid outfits?" Rosalia exclaimed excitedly. "Rosalia bought a lot! She even bought styles that fit brother perfectly!"
“No,” Shen Liang refused decisively, “Did you buy a lot? Do you have any large sizes?”
"No."
Kiana, who had just readily agreed, suddenly sensed danger upon hearing the words "maid outfit, maid outfit..."
But she could no longer refuse.
Twenty minutes later, in Shibuya, at the Hikarie Building, a custom-made brand clothing store.
Shen Liang sat calmly in the circular seat in the center of the store, while the lobby manager served him freshly brewed white tea, which the other waiters watched with envy.
This handsome, aloof little boy was truly a case of appearances can be deceiving. At first, no one paid much attention to him when he came with two little girls and an older sister. But when the lobby manager saw the two little girls, his eyes lit up and he rushed over with a genuine and bright smile that was definitely not the kind used for sales. As a result, all the staff watched as this group of people made 700,000 yen in sales within minutes of entering the store.
This little boy bought clothes for his two younger sisters without batting an eye, and didn't even ask the price of anything he thought looked good. Although this is a brand-name store and there's no shortage of wealthy people, such extravagant customers are usually the kind of rich guys who want to show off their wealth in front of their girlfriends or mistresses. Who would have thought that a group of cute little boys and girls would noisily spend hundreds of thousands of dollars?
Shen Liang never hesitated to spend money on raising the A-Lin sisters. The A-Lin sisters grew up in the harsh Siberian region. Because supplies were so difficult to transport, their food and daily life were extremely difficult. They even had to save a box of cherry cake to eat over a month. In the end, the cherries went bad and they cried so much that Shen Liang couldn't comfort them.
Now that Shen Liang is no longer in financial straits, he should raise his daughters well since he can. At least his younger sisters have become quite picky about food, so they won't be easily tricked by other men when they grow up.
At that moment, the locker room door opened.
Shen Liang looked up and saw that the Arlene sisters, dressed in maid outfits, had dragged Kiana, who was also dressed in a maid outfit, out of the room. Kiana's face turned bright red with embarrassment.
The surrounding waiters immediately began to whisper among themselves. At first, they thought it was an older sister, a younger brother, and two younger sisters, but now they began to doubt Shen Liang's nature. Who would let older sisters and younger sisters dress up in maid outfits to feast their eyes on? But then again, who knows? Hiss—the family relationships of the rich are truly intricate.
"Brother~" Rosalia chuckled, "You ordered the white-haired maid!"
"There's only one set that fits me in the store. Okay, here you go. Is it alright?" Kiana spoke loudly, trying to appear calm. She even lifted her skirt and twirled around, deceiving herself into thinking that no one could see that even the tips of her ears were bright red.
Shen Liang calmly looked Kiana up and down, making her feel uneasy.
