Green plums cannot become lovers.

So he started learning video editing and registered an account on a video website. The website was called bibicico, a very well-known video website that covers multiple fields and has thus attracted enthusiasts from various fields.

The largest group among them is a group of anime enthusiasts.

Driven by their passion, they posted various anime MAD or AMV videos they edited on the website, gaining a large following.

This website is also witnessing a surge in the creation of edited anime videos. These videos often require suitable background music, otherwise, they can feel disjointed.

Good music is certainly available, but since most videos of all types use only a few tracks, many viewers have complained that the background music is overused.

Even so, people still enjoy listening to and commenting on the music. Meanwhile, creators are actively searching for new background music as a way to attract audiences.

Therefore, An and Asuka chose to enter the game at this time to give it a try.

Editing itself isn't difficult; the challenge lies in creating creative cuts and finding suitable source material. To address this, besides daily study and practice, he watches animations and videos, noting down anything that interests him.

This state of affairs lasted for a month, and An and Asuka finally completed their first video.

He watched the video repeatedly on the editing software, and after watching it with the girls and listening to their opinions, he finally sent it out.

The video is not long, only about two and a half minutes long, and it is almost entirely landscape painting. There are no exciting lines or any ideas it tries to express. It is just a series of bright landscapes changing with the rhythm of the music.

This editing technique is somewhat disadvantageous compared to other types of videos, but unfortunately, his current editing level is only level two, which is not very high, so he can't create those breathtaking scenes.

Moreover, he didn't really want to bring any shock or thought to the audience. Everyone is already very tired from going to school or work, and he wanted to bring relaxation to their minds.

The video uploaded very quickly, and it was uploaded in no time.

Anhe Feiniao immediately searched for his own videos from a user's perspective. Looking at the landscape painting on the cover, he couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

What will be the outcome of this first video?

He wished he could get a million views overnight, but he knew that was impossible, so he just thought about it and then calmed down.

An and Asuka shut down the website, stretched, and got up from their chairs.

The clock on the wall had unknowingly reached eleven o'clock. The girls had gone to bed early, and he was the only one in the empty living room.

Silence enveloped him, broken only by the whirring of the fan. In the dead of summer night, the temperature was no longer as scorching as during the day; in fact, it was pleasantly cool.

Thinking that tomorrow would still be summer vacation, and not feeling particularly tired, An and Asuka didn't go back to sleep, but instead opened the door on the side of the living room.

He sat alone in the corridor, looking up at the bright moonlight in the sky.

As darkness falls, the hustle and bustle of the day fades away, and everything seems to fall into a deep sleep. When thoughts quiet down, the body unconsciously relaxes as well.

huh~~~

An and Asuka let out a soft breath, no longer straightening their backs, their shoulders slumping down.

Keeping his body on edge and struggling to stay mentally sharp every day is exhausting, especially after he rescued one girl after another; that's when he truly understood what real hardship meant.

Although he awakened to his past memories early on, which were different from those of ordinary people, he is now a teenager just entering puberty, and in the past few years he was just a child.

He has been almost entirely alone throughout this journey, which has been incredibly tough. It's especially difficult considering he also has to support three girls facing family crises and whose mindsets are far from mature.

He often wondered if he could really afford to support their lives.

But whenever he had this thought, he reminded himself that since he had chosen to help them, he had to make sure they were all happy.

So in the end, he gritted his teeth and persevered, and through his hard work, he made their lives better and better.

He will make them happy.

He wouldn't be a coward and abandon them, leaving them to face life alone.

Volume 1: Chapter 96 What Game?

Silent all night.

The first thing An and Asuka did upon waking up the next day was to open their homepage and check the data from their submissions the previous night.

Views: 103

When they saw this data, An and Asuka were silent for a moment, and finally couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Although I was mentally prepared for the data to be bad, I still couldn't help but feel disappointed when I saw the bleak situation.

It took a month of hard work to create this, and after several hours, it only has this few views.

However, he quickly came to terms with it, after all, it had only been a short time, and the number of views might skyrocket and it might even top the trending charts.

Moreover, although the number of views wasn't great, there were several comments under the video, all asking what the background music was called.

So this way, I've achieved my goal.

An and Asuka closed the webpage, deciding to log back in a week later. Then he went to make breakfast and then went to wake the girls up to wash up.

The morning sun was not intense, and the air was crisp and clear.

After finishing breakfast, the girls took their summer homework and started writing it on the coffee table. (7) 2000 is ??V??? 2000. This summer, they spent most of their time on other things and didn't do much homework.

There are only a dozen days left until the end of summer vacation. Although it is still a long time, if we are too relaxed, time may fly by and it will be time for the start of school. So I should finish writing as soon as possible so that I can feel at ease.

Meanwhile, An and Asuka, who had already finished writing, sat quietly to the side reading, occasionally offering guidance to the girl who was struggling.

The atmosphere was peaceful and harmonious.

But a slight ripple is stirring in the turbulent online world.

In the afternoon, when it was time for the three girls to finish their homework, An and Asuka rode their bikes out alone, leaving the three girls at home to continue doing their homework.

However, he wasn't going out to play; rather, he was running low on food at home and needed to buy some, otherwise everyone would only be able to drink plain porridge for dinner.

Staring at the blazing sun, An and Asuka Nakano went to a supermarket, picked out enough ingredients to last for two days, and then prepared to go home.

However, just as he was about to walk out, a familiar voice appeared in his ears.

"Birds".

Turning around, he saw a blue-haired girl standing not far away waving at him, holding a plastic bag in her hand, which he knew was full of snacks.

An and Asuka didn't want to stay outside any longer and wanted to go home immediately, but ignoring it would definitely hurt the girl's feelings.

So in the end, he took the initiative to walk over and stand in front of Anna Hanami.

"Apricot vegetable, it's been a long time."

"You know it's been a long time, haven't you?"

When the boy greeted her, Anna Hanami directly expressed her dissatisfaction.

He hasn't contacted her since the holiday started, and he's not even in that little park anymore; it's like he's vanished.

If it weren't for this chance encounter today, I might not have seen him again until the start of the semester.

Do you still consider me a close friend?

"Of course." Seeing that the girl was a little grumpy, An and Asuka smiled and took a lollipop out of the plastic bag in their hands, and handed it to the girl.

"Here, this is a milk lollipop for my best friend."

Originally, I planned to give one to myself and one to the three girls in my family, but now I just need to give my share to her to appease her.

"Hmph." Banai saw Anja give a coquettish snort, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up. In the end, she completely dropped the pretense, took the lollipop, tore open the wrapper, and put it in her mouth.

Seeing this, An and Asuka knew that her mood had improved, so they pressed their advantage and asked, "So, did Anzai also come to buy things alone?"

"No, there's also Mom and Dad." Banami shook her head and said, "But they're probably still upstairs picking out new clothes. I was bored, so I came down to look around, and I didn't expect to run into you."

She didn't know whether it was a coincidence or not.

"I see."

"And what about you? Didn't Marina and the others come with you?"

Banami saw Anwa looking at Asuka and then noticed the vegetables and pork he was carrying.

Is the boy running errands for his family?

"They're doing their homework at home. Have you finished your summer homework?"

Upon hearing the boy's question, Banami's gaze immediately shifted. Seeing this, Anwa and Asuka smiled helplessly.

Forget it, summer vacation is such a precious time, let's not talk about sad things like homework.

After chatting with the girl for a while, An and Asuka decided to leave, since going home early would allow them to rest sooner.

Before he could even say goodbye, the girl seemed to remember something and said excitedly, "Oh, right, Asuka, there's an event going on over there."

What activity?

If it's a discount event, then he'd be interested in participating.

"It's a game event!"

When Anna looked at An and Asuka, her eyes sparkled. She had wanted to try it out when she saw the event, but then she thought that she would only embarrass herself if she went up there with her own abilities, so she gave up the idea.

But upon meeting the young man before her, the flame that had just been extinguished in her heart was rekindled.

She believed that if she teamed up with the boy to play the game, they would definitely dominate.

"let it go."

Upon hearing that it was a game activity, An and Asuka immediately lost all interest. But Banami, as if she had already guessed his reaction, said with a smile, "Don't be so quick to refuse, the rewards for this game are very generous."

"It's a 50,000 yen shopping voucher and a 20% discount coupon from this supermarket,"

The girl coaxed him gently, and An and Asuka were indeed tempted. The 50,000 yen in vouchers and discount coupons were very useful to him, as they could save him a lot of money.

"So, are you tempted?" Seeing the boy's face showing some interest, Bana smiled smugly at Anzu.

"So, where is it located?" An and Asuka asked.

"Over there, come with me."

As Anna answered, she took An and Asuka's hands and ran towards the activity area.

Seeing this, An and Asuka thought for a moment but still did not break free from the girl's hand.

Soon after, An and Asuka saw that an event was indeed being held in an area, and the rewards were indeed vouchers and discount coupons. The girl had not lied to him.

At this moment, it seemed that a round of games had just ended. The host was on stage saying something to everyone, giving some encouragement, and then a new round of games began.

An and Asuka watched the game on the stage. After several rounds, people were eliminated one after another, until only one person was left.

The other team did not receive the final reward due to insufficient points.

Volume 1: Chapter 97 I've really been underestimated.

"This is the final round of the event. The grand prize is still up for grabs. Is anyone going to try their luck? Anyone else willing to give it a shot?"

The host pointed to the final grand prize on stage, enticing the audience with words. Many raised their hands to sign up, not caring whether they won the prize or not, just wanting to have some fun.

"Birds".

Yana saw Anza tug at Anwa Asuka's sleeve, looking at him with some longing. Anwa Asuka hesitated for a moment before nodding.

"join."

There's no reason not to participate in this cost-free endeavor; they suffer no loss regardless of winning or losing.

"Great."

The girl cheered happily, then unceremoniously grabbed An and Asuka's hands and walked towards the stage, shouting, "We want to participate too!"

When the host on stage saw that there were two children participating, he couldn't help but joke: "Little ones, this is not a school, so we won't be giving you simple math problems. And you're playing around while running errands, you'll probably get scolded by your parents when you get home."

Upon hearing this, the onlookers couldn't help but laugh. However, there was no malice in their laughter; after all, who would harbor any ill will towards two children who looked like they were just entering puberty?

Everyone's here for a bit of fun. We've already seen how a bunch of adults were embarrassed, so seeing the little ones looking distressed is kind of entertaining too.

When Anna heard this, she puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction.

"You've really been looked down upon."

In contrast to the girl's dissatisfaction, An and Asuka were quite open-minded about it. However, they couldn't lose in terms of momentum, so they raised their eyebrows and replied with a smile, "It's okay, anyway, it can't be more difficult than addition and subtraction within ten."

Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in laughter once again. The host was also taken aback, seemingly surprised to be retorted by a child and left speechless.

He twitched the corners of his mouth, resuming his professional smile: "Very good, very impressive! Then please invite the two little ones to come up on stage."

An and Asuka temporarily put down what they were carrying and pulled the girl onto the stage.

The rules for this activity are very simple: answer questions.

Those who answer correctly will receive points, while those who lose will remain unchanged. The questions become more difficult as the series progresses, and the points awarded increase accordingly. Before their arrival, no one had ever answered all the questions correctly.

"Now, everyone who's coming up, please introduce yourselves. Let's start with our kids' group."
