Chapter 126 - Someone Else’s Sister (2/2)
Xing Ta Ge wandered around, grabbing a bottle of ice cola from the fridge to calm his excitement.
Soon, Meng Fan moved all the boxes to the living room. He accepted the drink Xing Ta Ge passed to him. He opened it and then said, “Although the apartment was renovated recently, we bought the place a long time ago. I think we purchased it while I was in elementary school or junior high, so it wasn’t that expensive at the time. My dad’s in architecture, so the interiors look good, but didn’t cost that much.”
“You bought it that long ago? Aiyah, is your family the famous real estate tycoons from Wenzhou?” Xing Ta Ge was very curious about this. After all, they were once the renowned Zhen • Asia Corporation!
“You’re overthinking it.”
Meng Fan found a pair of scissors and began unpacking.
“I’m gonna keep taking a look around, heh.”
Xing Ta Ge’s interest was all on the apartment. No, the decor in particular. He was curious, so he browsed the rooms again before returning to Meng Fan’s side. “Fatty, I have a small immature suggestion…”
Meng Fan gave Xing Ta Ge a side eye. “Then tell me when it’s more mature.”
Xing Ta Ge rubbed his hands on his temples for a moment. “It’s maturing…”
Meng Fan didn’t even look at him. He continued to unpack the manga carefully then said, “You can come anytime you want and live here too if you’d like. But if you want to bring a girl over… No way in hell.”
Xing Ta Ge sneered. Suddenly, he was stunned for a minute before walking toward the side. There were several photographs on the table and the walls as well.
The sets of picture frames were brought by his sisters with individual photos, group photos, and ones with Meng Fan in them…
“Holy f*ck, fatty, who are all these pretty girls?” Xing Ta Ge’s eyes lit up as he saw them. Then he screamed. “They’re all so pretty… Ah ah ah ah ah Meng Cai Wei!”
Xing Ta Ge picked up one of the pictures Meng Fan had with Meng Cai Wei and stuck it in his face. “You have a photo with Meng Cai Wei and so intimate too!? That’s too badass. How did you get a photo with her? I heard her temper is huge. Even if she did take a picture, she wouldn’t be this intimate… Wait, wait! Your last name is Meng! What is she to you?”
Meng Fan had forgotten about these photos. He didn’t expect Xing Ta Ge to have such a sharp eye either, but since he already saw them, Meng Fan didn’t see any reason why he needed to keep it from him. He picked his nose. “My sister.”
“Your older sister? Your sister is Meng Cai Wei?!”
After confirming this surprising information, Xing Ta Ge didn’t know how to remain calm. Someone else’s sister!
Meng Fan folded all the boxes up and tied them together, sitting in between them as he posted to his social media.
Meng Fan very seldom posted to his social circle, posting twice a month. Sometimes he would go months without updating. But he had to share his published manga, as it was very important to him, and he had paid for it himself.
After posting to his social circle, he sniffed the new books. His face was full of satisfaction as he sat in a mound of his manga, flipping through the novels.
The quality of the individual publications was also very high. Meng Fan had illustrated the cover himself, with a delicate binding and high-quality paper.
‘Gurgle.’
Meng Fan’s rumbling stomach was enough to calm Xing Ta Ge down. They went downstairs to eat, and afterward, Xing Ta Ge drove the highlander back with the remaining box of books.
Once Meng Fan arrived back home, he once again sat among his mound of books and smiled dumbly to himself before heading to the study.
He sent Wu Tong a special picture of himself grinning in his pile of books. He then began to familiarize himself with the new attributes he got.
Drawing skills +3, set design +3, scriptwriting +3.
These were the rewards from [Manga Artist].
Before this, the system had already cumulatively rewarded Meng Fan with +6 drawing skills. Adding these three, he had gained 9 points from just the system alone. Even if he started out with 0 skills, these +9 points would allow him to be beyond proficient in drawing.
And Meng Fan already had existing drawing skills. Everything combined, the value was a bit scary.
