I Have a Dice Left by a God-Chapter 417 - 9: Your Real Family Always Saves a Room for You
Li Xin carried two large bags with both hands, now barely a semi-famous writer. Although he is currently in an interruption period, he still earned some manuscript fees before. The cost of living in Dragon Capital is cheaper than in Hedan.
In the kitchen, Lin Fei was busy preparing a large table of dishes, while Xueyin was pulling Li Xin aside, asking all sorts of questions. She had heard Hedan had beautiful landscapes, a pleasant climate, and produced all kinds of delicious fruits, which made Xueyin’s mouth water.
Li Xin wasn’t one to just talk without action. He really brought some fruits, all stored in the Yazama Karashi, where they are preserved. Looking at the various odd fruits, Xueyin was extremely happy.
"Not bad, you’ve grown taller and matured a bit, not a child anymore," Lin Fei laughed, finally feeling that Li Xin had truly returned.
"Aunt Fei, I’ve long stopped being a child," Li Xin said with a smile, "Hedan is indeed a livable place, very nourishing."
"Ah Xin, are you going back? Can’t you just stay?" Xueyin asked sweetly, with a Golden Fruit in each hand.
"Not going back. Sister Kathy said the issues have been resolved, and I will stay in Dragon Capital. It’s just that the air pollution here is too severe; doesn’t anyone manage this?" Li Xin said while eating.
"Eat slower. It’s a side effect brought by Hex-Tech, and the Cabinet is discussing this issue," Lin Fei said, "What are your plans going forward?"
"I’ll wait for Sister Kathy to arrange it. I must latch onto the Little Rich Lady’s thigh, probably sticking to the job of Night Patrol; there’s not much else I can do," Li Xin said. Perhaps because of Luo Jin, Christie, and Ma Zhe; he bears the mark of Night Patrol.
Lin Fei nodded without objection. In this world, trying to avoid everything will lead to avoiding nothing.
"Mom says Auntie Kathy is amazing; she is now my idol. I want to become someone like Auntie Kathy in the future!" Xueyin said, "Holding onto her thigh!"
Li Xin nearly choked on his meal laughing. The family’s generational hierarchy was so confused. After dinner, Lin Fei and Xueyin listened to Li Xin talk about his experiences in Hedan. Of course, he glossed over things like the Inner Demon, only briefly mentioning the friends at Lirong Inn. Clearly, these strange and unique friends greatly piqued Xueyin’s interest.
A handsome David? How handsome could he be?
A painter whose skills rival the Hex Camera? A magician? And even a gourmet!
But when Xueyin excitedly planned to get to the bottom of it, she was sent off to do her homework. A poor child looked at Li Xin with a face filled with resentment. Li Xin could only shrug helplessly, unable to assist.
Lin Fei poured Li Xin a cup of hot milk. In front of Xueyin, neither of them mentioned anything else.
"Aunt Fei, how did Sister Kathy become the secretary?" Li Xin was still curious about it, jumping from a temporary team leader of Night Patrol to the secretary of the Red-robed Archbishop in the Church Court. That was quite a leap.
"After becoming the team leader, Kathy launched a comprehensive clean-up of Celestial Capital’s Hidden Powers. The results were reportedly good, so she went to Dragon Capital to receive an honor. The one who awarded it was Sir Li Xiuwen, who was initially sent to Celestial Capital to investigate Archbishop Matthew’s incident back then. He wasn’t the chief then, but he had connections. Within half a year, Kathy’s Hidden Powers grew fast, catching Bishop Li’s attention in Dragon Capital, becoming his student. It happened that there was a vacancy for a secretary, and Kathy filled it. When Kathy advanced to Judgment Angel in less than two months in Dragon Capital, it was said to have stirred the whole Cardinal Hall, silencing many doubting voices," Lin Fei said with pride in her eyes.
Li Xin was genuinely shocked; he knew very well of Kathy’s level. How long has it been? Angel?
It made him reflect on himself.
Only then did he understand what Kathy meant by saying Hidden Powers were too easy yesterday. She wasn’t giving others a chance. Those members of the Zodiac Twelve who believed they were chosen ones, struggled through many hardships, and reached a maximum of Three Lives, while Kathy moved from inheriting Luo Jin’s Original Embryo to Angel in perhaps a year. Logically, shouldn’t she understand it from the start? Of course, it might also be due to different kinds of love.
No wonder the Red-robed Archbishop admired such potential.
A powerful, aunt-like Little Rich Lady!
"Kathy said it’s not just because of this. There are many capable people. Forces in Dragon Capital are complex, and Bishop considers the overall situation. As the secondary capital, Celestial Capital cannot fall too far behind, requiring such a person. She happened to fit more suitably," Lin Fei said, "Dragon Capital is much more complex than Celestial Capital, you’ll know in the future."
"No worries, Sister Kathy is at the top," Li Xin laughed, "Is Hex Bird Society’s work comfortable? Many pursuers?"
Originally, a somewhat serious atmosphere was broken with that abrupt question. Lin Fei was taken aback, suddenly pinching Li Xin’s ear, "Serious for not even three minutes, daring to joke even with me."
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, Aunt Fei is irresistible; I’m just showing some concern."
"If you didn’t remind me, I’d forget. You’ve grown up; it’s time to consider settling down!" Lin Fei said, examining Li Xin, this is the age to establish a family and career, "Settle down this time; your work path I won’t interfere, but focus on solving major life issues. With Kathy around, she’ll surely find you a good match."
Why does this sound like he’ll become a live-in son-in-law? Li Xin patted his own mouth, "Aunt Fei, I’m still a kid."
In the room next door where Lin Xueyin was doing her homework, a sudden shout came, "I’m the kid, Mom! What good match, so much homework will stunt my growth!"
"You rest a while; I’ll go talk to her." Lin Fei didn’t indulge but went to Xueyin’s room and closed the door.
Clearly, Xueyin’s struggle was quashed; there was no special treatment because Li Xin returned. Homework had to be done attentively, not only in quantity but also quality.
Seeing Li Xin finished his milk, Lin Fei led Li Xin to the bedroom on the first floor, "This is your room; not much has been prepared; make do for now and we’ll add whatever’s needed tomorrow."
In this seemingly unprepared room, everything was in place. The pillows and quilts were neatly folded; the quilts felt fluffy and soft, with a sunny scent. Opening the closet, it was filled with Li Xin’s seasonal clothes and pajamas. He specifically instructed Sister Kathy not to reveal his return to surprise them, but apparently, the surprise was for him.
There’s always a place for him at home. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
He changed into fragrant pajamas, pulled out the typewriter from Yazama Karashi, placed it on the desk, and lay sprawled on the bed, so comfortable he couldn’t help but moan.
This night was the first time in a long while Li Xin slept a full night, no longer waking from nightmares...
