My anime girlfriend has come into my life

Although Exusiai should have seen that Seele and Black Seele were only separated by a thin white shirt when she was on top of him, and most people wouldn't believe that he and Seele and Black Seele were just sleeping like that without doing anything, Li Chaoge felt that he still needed to struggle a bit.

It's one thing to do something bad, but to bear the stigma of doing something bad when you haven't done anything wrong is something no one can handle.

If Exusiai were to spread this around, wouldn't he lose face?

"Yes, I believe you. When Kal'tsit or Aya arrive, I'll remind them to get you a medical check-up, Boss."

Exusiai immediately nodded in agreement, but her smiling face was anything but convincing.

Why don't you give me a checkup yourself!

Li Chaoge rolled his eyes at Exusiai, that heartless bastard.

He was just touched by Ah Neng, who specially grew his hair long for him, and this guy is returning his gratitude!

"You want to be examined by this new guy, right? Then Seele and I will just leave!"

Hei hope suddenly turned around, glanced at Li Chaoge with an unfriendly tone, and reached out to pull Xi'er away from Li Chaoge.

It's infuriating! Last night, she rejected both Xi'er and her friend when they came to her, but now she's being so friendly with this new, overly familiar person!

Scumbag, scumbag, scumbag!

"Hey! Kuroki, you've misunderstood! That's not what I meant!"

Li Chaoge was speechless. He never expected that Hei hope had overheard his joke with Exusiai. He would have to coax this proud and arrogant girl properly.

"Ah! Blackie, don't run so fast! Wait for the captain and the others!"

Seele quickly called for a stop, but Black Seele wouldn't listen to her. They weren't in the same body anymore, and she wouldn't be so easily restrained by Seele.

"Keep it up, boss!"

Exusiai watched as Li Chaoge ran up to coax Hei hope, and followed him with a grin.

She didn't care much about these things. As the omnipotent doctor of Rhodes Island, Li Chaoge had many admirers.

Although she only stayed at Rhodes Island because of the agreement between Rhodes Island and Penguin Logistics, she made friends with many people and knew that many people expressed their affection for the Doctor openly or secretly.

Assassins, thieves, knights, inspectors, battlefield medics, bounty hunters, noble ladies, princesses... people of all kinds of identities are represented.

If she hadn't known that this beloved doctor rarely showed himself and often hid under a thick protective suit, she would have suspected that Rhodes Island Medical Corporation's reputation was fake and that it relied entirely on the doctor's efforts to win over the leaders or heirs of various factions.

Rhodes Island relies on the Doctor for military command, public relations and connections, and everything else. It feels like the entire Rhodes Island depends on the Doctor.

Compared to one of Rhodes Island's leaders, the Doctor is more like a firefighter, rushing to wherever there's trouble, helping out and rescuing people everywhere.

Although Exusiai doesn't dislike the Doctor for this reason, she supports whatever the Doctor wants to do and will protect him until the end of time.

Chapter 10. The Evil Appearance-Based Society

"Stop running around, I've never bought an apple pie before, I don't know where to find one nearby, let me search and see where they sell them."

"Hey? Boss, isn't business booming around here? There are food shops everywhere."

"Apple pie isn't very popular here; it's considered a foreign food."

"I see..."

After finally catching up with Seele and coaxing the proud Seele back, Li Chaoge suddenly faced another problem. He had never eaten apple pie before and didn't know where there was a good place nearby that made apple pie. He had only eaten taro pie and red bean pie when ordering takeout, and this kind of change of flavor was obviously not what Exusiai wanted.

Fortunately, in this internet age, many things can be found with a simple search.

"I checked, and the nearest apple pie shop is ten kilometers away. I've never been there, so I'm not sure if it's any good. Ah Neng, do you want to go there to eat?"

After checking the apple pie information through a certain group, Li Chaoge told Exusiai, who was watching him expectantly, what he found.

Apple pie is something that very few people eat here. He looked around and it seemed that only two or three places in such a big city as Guangzhou sold it. They were probably all local specialties that most people wouldn't eat.

Upon checking, he remembered that Exusiai often craved apple pie, and he had previously looked for apple pie, wanting to taste what the apple pie that Exusiai loved so much tasted like.

Then, seeing how far away it was, and looking at the apple pie that cost tens of dollars a serving, he gave up the idea.

Looking at the picture of the apple pie, it was completely different from the red bean pie and taro pie he remembered. He wasn't sure if the so-called authentic apple pie was the same one Exusiai had mentioned.

Arknights once collaborated with a fast food chain, with Exusiai serving as the brand ambassador. Unfortunately, the collaboration was just a rebranding of the meal set and the addition of a skin redemption code to increase the price; they didn't actually create an Exusiai apple pie.

"Ten kilometers away... Never mind then, boss, you owe me an apple pie. Let's go eat something else that's good to eat first."

When Exusiai realized she had to go ten kilometers away to find her apple pie, she immediately ran out of ideas.

If it were just a few minutes' walk away, she would definitely go and try it, but she really didn't want to go that far. Everyone was hungry, so did she expect them to go with her to find apple pie?

Even Texas wouldn't listen to her unreasonable request.

"Next time I have the chance, I'll take you to eat until you're stuffed. Let's eat something else to fill our stomachs first, and then I'll take you to buy some clean clothes."

Li Chaoge chuckled and ruffled Exusiai's long, smooth, wine-red hair.

Ah Neng is quite understanding; even if he wants to eat it himself, he won't make things difficult for everyone.

He really likes this about Exusiai; she seems carefree, but she's actually very considerate.

Otherwise, if someone is always smiling and thinking about apple pie, they won't be that popular.

An optimistic girl not only smiles, but also makes everyone else smile.

"Boss, you said it yourself, so don't worry about spending your money later."

Exusiai chuckled and immediately followed Li Chaoge's lead, preemptively offering a heads-up.

"Of course it's fine, go ahead and eat me into bankruptcy."

Li Chaoge agreed without the slightest fear.

An apple pie costs a few dozen yuan, and no matter how much he eats, it's only a few hundred yuan. Besides, he doesn't eat that much often, so he can afford it. Even without considering the revenue from live-streaming gifts, he has quite a bit of savings from working part-time for so long.

It's said that a date with a girl can cost hundreds or even thousands of yuan, so his is probably considered low. Ah Neng and Xi Er didn't ask anything of him.

"A-Neng and Xi-Er, are you guys eating fried dough sticks and steamed buns? Or are you going to eat rice noodle rolls? By the way, Xi-Er and A-Neng, have you ever tried rice noodle rolls?"

Leading the three people beside him along the bustling street, Li Chaoge looked at the many breakfast shops on the street and asked.

If Ah Neng doesn't eat apple pie, he'd definitely prefer to take them to eat breakfast from a street vendor. It's not that he's stingy, it's just that a hot breakfast like this is much tastier than cold cakes and bread.

The fact that there are four or five stone-ground rice noodle roll shops on this street is enough to prove its popularity. Rice noodle rolls are a very common neighborhood food. They are cheap, delicious, suitable for all ages, and known to everyone. They are available in almost every place, from inconspicuous eateries and tea markets to five-star hotels.

Just like white rice, he has never gotten tired of eating rice noodle rolls after so many years.

"Sister Mei has tried making Chinese cuisine, and Seele thought it was quite delicious."

Xi'er nodded with a rosy blush and answered Li Chaoge in a soft voice.

It wasn't that she was shy again; it was just that she had been dragged around by Hei Xi just now, and her breathing was still a little rapid, so she was still catching her breath.

Hei hope, who took the initiative to pull Xi'er along, was much better off, but the proud Xi'er didn't really want to pay attention to Li Chaoge at this moment.

They only know how to please the newcomers, without even asking for their opinions first. I should have been firmer last night and won over this womanizer. Now his soul has been bewitched by other women!

"Hehe, our Penguin Logistics headquarters is in Lungmen. Boss, have you forgotten about Rice Noodle Roll Dragon and Char Siu Cat?"

Exusiai winked at Li Chaoge, a mischievous smile spreading across her face.

She was quite familiar with these things, and the Lungmen accent was similar to the local accent. She and the professor could hear the occasional Lungmen swear words spoken by passersby on the street as they walked along.

"Uh, that's true."

Li Chaoge slapped his head speechlessly. He must have lost his mind to ask such a question.

The prototype of Longmen in the game is not far from their city of Yangcheng. Although it is not shown much in the game, it would be normal for it to have corresponding food in a real world.

Although Ah Neng's "rice noodle roll dragon char siu cat" refers to Inspector Chan and Swire, two officers from the Lungmen Guard Bureau, it has nothing to do with rice noodle rolls and char siu.

"Then let's have rice noodle rolls. If we're still not full after that, we can buy some fried dough sticks and steamed buns. The stone-ground rice noodle rolls here are quite delicious."

Seeing that they weren't too opposed to it, Li Chaoge decided to take them to a rice noodle roll shop he often ate at.

While fried dough sticks and steamed buns are also good, he especially likes soy milk with fried dough sticks; the combination of a bite of fried dough stick and a sip of soy milk is particularly delicious.

However, shops that sell fried dough sticks and steamed buns usually pack them in bags for you to take away, while rice noodle roll shops have seats for you to sit and eat.

Did the four of them buy steamed buns and soy milk and eat them together on the roadside?

They're not rushing to work, so they don't need to be dressed so shabbily.

Seele and Aneng naturally had no objections to Li Chaoge's decision. In fact, Li Chaoge didn't need to think too much; he could have just brought them over to eat. Seele and Aneng weren't spoiled or incapable of enduring hardship, so they wouldn't have felt any problem even if the food wasn't great.

Well, Hei hope wanted to complain a bit, but Xi'er, who was wholeheartedly on Li Chaoge's side, held Hei hope back, making her reluctantly follow along.

There was no way she could win against that scumbag Li Chaoge when Seele betrayed her; she was outnumbered three to one.

Seele might only ally with the newcomer, Exusiai, when it comes to competition, but this newcomer is always smiling, and Seele has become complacent about her behavior.

"Boss, four servings of meat and egg sausage, please."

Li Chaoge led the three to a rice noodle roll shop. He said something to the middle-aged owner who was working tirelessly next to the rice noodle roll steamer, and then sat down with the three of them to wait.

Although every rice noodle roll shop on this street claims to be the authentic stone-ground rice noodle roll, there are bound to be differences. He has eaten here many times and has been able to discern the merits and demerits of each shop.

This place's stone-ground rice noodle rolls are tastier than the others, although the portion is smaller. When it comes to breakfast, if the taste is only slightly different, people prefer places with larger portions and better value, and this place is no exception.

However, money is meant to be spent.

Since it was his first time taking Ah Neng and the others out for breakfast, he naturally wanted to choose something better. After all, it was only a dollar or two more expensive per serving. He planned to take them out to eat, drink, buy clothes, and have fun all day. It didn't matter if they weren't full; they could always have another serving of whatever delicious food they came across while shopping.

"okay!"

The middle-aged owner glanced at Li Chaoge and his group, noted down what they had ordered, and continued making rice noodle rolls. It was early morning, the morning rush hour, and the breakfast shops along the street were all very busy.

Li Chaoge had been to this shop many times, so he recognized it. He was quite surprised that the young man, who usually ate breakfast alone, was suddenly surrounded by so many girls, all of whom were quite pretty, even prettier than the big stars on TV.

However, because Li Chaoge didn't chat much with strangers, their relationship was rather ordinary. He kept these things to himself and didn't manage to tease the young man who seemed to have changed quite a bit.

Rice noodle rolls are quick to make, and if we don't make them quickly, we can't satisfy so many customers for breakfast.

Soon, a child brought over the rice noodle rolls prepared by the rice noodle roll shop owner, one by one.

"Thank you."

Seeing the child carefully placing the rice noodle roll dish on the table, Xi'er softly thanked him.

"Sister, please don't be shy, you can eat slowly."

The child also smiled at Seele.

Children from poor families mature early. Children who are not yet of school age do not play all day long; they have to help with chores around the house.

However, compared to ordinary workers, families with shops may not be as well-off, but they definitely earn more than white-collar workers who enjoy air conditioning in their offices.

Nowadays, white-collar jobs are no longer a symbol of high-paying employment. Compared with many blue-collar workers, their salaries are not as high. They can only say that their work is relatively easier and more respectable.

"Everyone, eat up! If you want more, just let the owner know."

Li Chaoge wasn't particularly moved by this, and once the rice noodle rolls were all served, he invited them to eat together.

Compared to children in cities today, children in rural areas used to have a much harder childhood. They had to cut grass to feed cattle, carry cow dung, and haul firewood to sell for money. That was real hardship.

"Okay, Brother Chao."

Seele nodded, picked up disposable chopsticks, broke open a rice noodle roll, and began to eat it slowly and deliberately.

Her childhood was actually more difficult than that of ordinary children. In the orphanage, she had to carefully plan her meals and not eat too much at one time, otherwise she might go hungry at the next meal. Moreover, most of the children in the orphanage were frail girls who could not go out to do hard labor. Fortunately, they were cute, and sometimes when the food store was clearing out food that was about to expire, they would leave some for them, and they could take it back to the orphanage for a hearty meal.

"Does it taste good?"

Seeing that they had all started tasting the food, Li Chaoge asked.

"Mmm! It's delicious!"

"It's pretty good!"

Seele and Exusiai both nodded in approval, while Black Seele pursed her lips and said nothing.

The longer these street breakfast shops stay open, the better the food will be. After all, people aren't stupid; if one shop isn't good, they'll just go to another. There are pretty much the same shops everywhere. The reason these shops can survive and even do well is entirely due to the support of their neighbors.

"As long as it tastes good. By the way, Ah Neng, is it really okay that I turned off your aura?"

Li Chaoge asked while eating. He knew that at this time, he should treat A'Neng, Xi'er, and Hei Xi equally, but he would definitely favor one over the other when making Qi Ai.

Yesterday he showed the same concern for Seele and Hei Seele, and now that Aneng has just arrived, he naturally wants Aneng to feel his enthusiasm as well.

All he can say now is that he's trying his best to take good care of them and prevent Seele and Heixi from developing too much resentment. A'Neng's appearance right after he'd settled things with Seele and Heixi, before they'd even fully settled down, does put him in a difficult position.

"What are the effects? Will I sleep better in the future?"

Exusiai ate her rice noodle rolls nonchalantly, and after wolfing them down, she called out to the middle-aged owner, "Uncle! Another serving of rice noodle rolls! One serving is too small, can you give me a little more?"

"That won't do. If you're still not full after this, you can order another one."
