Lin Qi shook his head without even thinking.
“No interest at all. You know, I grew up here. I’ve never even heard of or seen any of those so-called blood relatives.”
“Even if you say ‘face’ to the old man 50 times, that’s considered giving him face. In this situation, let’s just leave it at that. Let’s keep to ourselves. Let them go their own way and I’ll go mine. If they come looking for trouble, just pretend they don’t exist.”
"The most important thing for the Yozakura family is family. But to be honest, in your situation, those so-called family members can only be considered as people with blood ties at most."
Erren also spoke up in agreement. After all, this situation hardly qualifyed as family. If they were family, they would definitely care about maintaining contact here. However, as far as she knew, when Lin Qi's father passed away, only these three siblings, who were not related by blood, remained, and their side didn't react in the slightest. In other words, they never even considered paying attention to this place. So, at most, they were just people related by blood.
"I don't care about this kind of thing. As long as they don't mess with me, everything is fine."
"I would rather not see those people. After all, if I show up now, 99.9% of the time they either want something from me or they think I have something to gain from them."
"This situation is forcing me to take drastic measures."
"I personally don't want to take such drastic measures, but when the time comes, I have to."
"Of course, compared to that, I would prefer that if it really is people from there coming to find us, those rebellious guys, then sending them to be sunk in the sea would really not be a psychological burden at all."
At this point, Lin Qi spoke up frankly, without hiding his approach to this situation.
"My lovely Liu Mei, look at this man! He's a complete devil! Hurry up and get a divorce, or you'll have a hard time in the future."
Chapter 395 You wouldn't happen to be a fan of Eriri, would you?
At this moment, as if he had found an opportunity, Kyouichiro decisively jumped out and started causing trouble.
Lin Qi felt helpless. Was it really necessary to go this far? What grudge did we have? All I did was hang you up and beat you a few times. All I did was kidnap your beloved younger sister. Did you have to take this to the extreme for something like this?
After staying there for a while, Lin Qi went home, since he had been out having fun for a few days and it was time to go back.
"Sagiri, come here and let me hug you."
Lin Qi plopped down on the sofa, while Sha Wu, who was watching TV nearby, was startled at first but quickly returned to normal. After all, this kind of unpredictable behavior from his opponent was quite common; he had been doing this every day since the power showdown.
Honestly, I really want to learn, but the other person says I'm not good enough. It's so frustrating!
"Baka Onii-chan, you're covered in dust, stay away from me."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qi shuddered instantly and became completely clean in the next moment.
"Okay, it's all cleaned up now. Come here, let me give you a hug."
"Yada!"
After a period of extreme tug-of-war, Lin Qi still held her and kept rubbing against her. At this moment, Dairenji Suzuka, who had returned and was sitting to the side, saw this scene and her eyes showed the word "disdain".
"You're committing a crime, don't you understand?"
"What constitutes a crime? Hugging and rubbing against your cute little sister isn't doing anything illegal or out of line. At most, countless people will be envious and jealous, because do they even have a sister like that?"
Lin Qi didn't take it to heart, instead acting as if it were perfectly normal.
“Your sister is clearly a child bride, okay? Don’t use the name of your sister.”
Dalianji Suzuka said, "I know your situation perfectly well. We're all on the same side. What's the point of pretending like this?"
Lin Qi didn't take it seriously at the time.
"Changing my title will have to wait a few more months; I don't want to actually commit a crime now."
The white-haired loli, who was being rubbed against and looked resistant, shouted in a hurry after hearing these words.
"You are committing a crime."
Lin Qi had had enough of that, so he released the other person, who blushed and shifted his position as if trying to get away from some monster.
Lin Qi looked heartbroken when he saw this, but unfortunately, his performance did not evoke any empathy from the other party. Instead, the other party picked up the tablet and started playing, choosing to leave the game alone.
Lin Qi could only lie down and watch TV at this point. However, as time went by, he noticed that something was wrong with the other person. Why did that snow-white face turn red? Then, they shared their view and a strange expression appeared on their face.
Is it appropriate for you to be looking at this stuff in the living room? Although we're all family, no one will care, but when did you become so bold?
And after watching it, the expression on his face became even stranger.
"Don't tell me you're a fan of Eri Parmuk?"
The other person was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then spoke subconsciously.
"It's not just about fellow painters looking at each other's works, seeing what's outstanding, and learning from each other."
"I'm not a fan of hers."
After all, they were roughly equals in fame at night. If he said he was a fan of the other person, wouldn't that mean he was inferior to him? But after saying that, he realized something was wrong. How did this person know? Thinking of this monstrous ability, his face immediately turned red, and his body began to heat up from below. Then, after exhaling a puff of red smoke, he shouted with all his might.
"I don't know any Pamu Eri!"
"You idiot, you were peeking from the side!"
"Hentai! Wash your body!"
She immediately grabbed a cushion, her face flushed, and started hitting Lin Qi next to her repeatedly, looking like she wanted to beat him to death with the pillow.
"It's just a glance, why make such a big reaction? And what's there to be embarrassed about? We're all friends here. Most importantly, I know this guy. If you want to get to know him, I can introduce you."
Upon hearing this, the other party stopped attacking and instead looked at Lin Qi with a strange expression.
Lin Qi's lips twitched slightly as he looked at the other person's eyes, then he spoke with a troubled expression:
"Are you misunderstanding something? I'm not really interested in fighting this thing. After all, it's better to do some hands-on practice than just watch."
The other person blushed again after hearing this.
“I know this guy because he’s someone I know in real life, okay? I’ve even known him since elementary school, and Ruiye knows him too.”
Sagiri was stunned when she heard this, and after putting her things down, she looked at Lin Qi with a confused expression.
It's like they're saying something? I can't understand it.
".Pamu Eri is a well-known illustrator in the doujinshi industry, and you know her real identity."
Upon hearing this, Ruiye placed her finger on her cheek, looking thoughtful. She pondered for a long time but couldn't come up with an answer.
"Onii-chan, are you sure you're not joking?"
"To my recollection, no one I know fits these criteria."
Ruiye had no idea that she knew anyone in the relevant field.
"Eiri Rifune."
Lin Qi uttered those three words, and the other person's eyes were filled with disbelief upon hearing them.
"Onii-chan, you're not kidding me, are you?"
"How could Eriri-san possibly have this identity? After all, in my understanding, she is the image of a typical rich young lady."
Ruiye absolutely refused to believe that the other person was in such a state of being at work or at home, which was a fact.
Lin Qi first showed everyone a photo of her in her school uniform, looking every bit the spoiled young lady. Then he showed another photo of her wearing a green shirt, her hair messy, and glasses.
"This girl puts on a really hard show of maintaining her image as a young lady in public, but this is actually how she usually acts at home, especially when she's up all night drawing comics."
The people present were speechless when they saw the stark contrast between the two photos.
Chapter 396 It's all because they're poor!
"Is this how Eriri-chan usually is? I don't think I've ever seen her like this before."
Ruiye also looked surprised at this moment. To be honest, the contrast before and after was too great. She really had never seen anything like it.
"Let me put it this way, it's me."
"This guy is a big shot in the doujinshi industry."
When Lin Qi got to this point, his tone was filled with emotion, but he only noticed that a certain little devil seemed to be harboring evil intentions.
Lin Qi glanced at the other person, then spoke in a strange tone.
"You look like you're up to no good. You're not thinking of pretending to be a fan and calling out that nickname to them one day, are you?"
After hearing this, Suzuka from Dairenji Temple did not deny it. Instead, she thought about it and then gave Lin Qi a thumbs up.
"I have to say, you really are something else. I was still thinking about these things when you immediately realized them. You really are that kind of person."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qi rolled his eyes at the other person.
"You know who I am. If you say you don't know me, believe me, I can go and do whatever I want with her, even things that are beyond what's in the book."
"I wouldn't even threaten him or force him to do anything; I'd go all out with him. After all, I really don't have a bottom line."
Lynch's public declaration has left those who are used to him speechless. Isn't this too blatant and arrogant? Not to mention, is it appropriate to say this in front of a girl?
"Didn't Eriri and you two get along really well? I've noticed that you two haven't been in touch much since we started high school. Did something happen between you two?"
Ruiye tilted her head, a look of confusion on her face.
Even when I go shopping with him, he never mentions you.
Ruiye said she didn't understand, and didn't understand what had happened in the past two years.
"What else could it be? In order to maintain their good image as young ladies, everyone decided to make a clean break with this blond thug and let me pretend that I don't know her."
These people seemed to suddenly understand after hearing this, since the two photos from the other party had already explained the situation.
Ruiye, who knew Lin Qi best, was even more confused after hearing this. Had the other party just agreed so readily?
"Onii-chan, there must have been more than just these things, right? You must have done something."
Ruiye cut to the chase, and Lin Qi gave her a thumbs up.
"That's right, I did do some small things. I just threatened him with the country's most classic quote, right? As a result, he burst into tears and has been giving me the cold shoulder ever since."
"Honestly, we're so close, is it really necessary to be angry? Is it really necessary to be angry until now? Any anger should have been vented long ago. This doesn't fit the script at all."
Upon hearing this, the same thought popped into the minds of these people: Shouldn't the other party be waiting for your apology?
That's right, they were all girls, and they knew very well that the other party was waiting for Lin Qi to apologize, but this guy probably knew it was just pretending not to apologize and wanted to have some fun with the other party.
"Aren't you afraid that your childhood sweetheart will be tricked away one day? After all, it's written in novels and such."
At this moment, Suzuka from Dalian Temple had a smug look on her face, as if she wanted to see Lin Qi suffer a great misfortune.
Lin Qi looked at the girl and gave her a death stare, letting her experience the consequences for herself.
"Come on, that won't happen to me. After all, I'd love to see who can steal my employees."
"If there's a high-quality candidate, why choose those useless and weaklings? Wouldn't that be blind? And I don't think I'd like someone who's blind."
