C5 Elder Sister Li Feng
Almost instantly, his pocket buzzed. Lee Yun's heart did a double-take. It was the message tone of his second-hand, only 300-Yuan worth phone. He quickly retrieved the device from his pocket.
"Account number: 9600. Deposited on September 25, 20: 51. 3435 Yuan. Available Balance: 7801 Yuan. "
Lee Yun's gaped at the message in disbelief. All he did was help the lady collect her goods from the ground. It was inconceivable that the System would tip him such a handsome reward for a simple task!
The amount was only about three thousand bucks. Yet, it was more than what Lee Yun could make after a month of hardship. It could easily cover the living expenses of his family of four for over a month!
Initially, the family's bank balance had been around five thousand Yuan. Lee Feng kept a little over a thousand Yuan. Suddenly, it had skyrocketed by more than three thousand Yuan. Lee Yun was on cloud nine!
'Cool it, Lee Yun!' he told himself.
Lee Yun had been holding his breath. He checked the account deposit message again to be sure, and finally exhaled.
With the God level System in place, the 3000 bucks was just the tip of the iceberg!
Regardless, it was awesome!
Lee Yun held back his excitement and rushed to the nearest ATM. After confirming the deposit, he withdrew 1000 Yuan and tucked the amount in his pocket. After purchasing groceries, he returned home, humming a happy tune and beaming like the sun.
Lee Yun arrived at home. A pretty girl bustled around in the balcony, engaged in making lunch.
"Hey sis!"
Lee Yun called out. The girl tucked her hair locks behind her ears and turned her head towards him. Her beautiful doe eyes lit up. "Hey, bro! Did you get the groceries? Could you put out the vegetables first? Once the rice is ready, I will make the side dishes. "
Lee Feng was a sight for sore eyes. She was an elegant damsel with an angelic face. The elder sister had been adopted from an orphanage like Lee Yun. The duo had grown up under the same roof, caring for and supporting each other. Time and circumstance had drawn them quite close.
Lee Yun did as he was asked and sorted out the vegetables first. Their old foster father had not been well-off. The home he left behind was a two-bedroom house with a living room. In the absence of a kitchen, the balcony served as one.
"Umm?"
Lee Feng's eyes fell on the variety of groceries that Lee Yun had purchased. At first, she was pleasantly surprised by the assortment of goodies, but then her mood turned sour. "Why did you have to get all these things? How much did you squander? I mean, look at this! Roast duck, meat, pork chops. Wow! Little brother, you went all out!"
Poor families were supposed to be frugal with their expenditure. No wonder the outrageous spending left Lee Feng startled.
"Rest assured, I made some easy money today!"
Lee Yun grinned and hugged Lee Feng. He took out five hundred Yuan and, giving it to Lee Feng, said, "I want you to have this. This is for the wifi and phone bills. "
"Wait, what?"
Lee Feng's cheeks flushed on seeing the wad of bills. "This is much more than the internet and phone bills." she fired back. "Tell me honestly, Lee Yun, where did you get the money from?"
"I know it is in excess. You can take the rest and go shopping for clothes! It will easily fetch two new pairs!"
Lee Yun nagged Lee Feng until she gave in and accepted the money.
He exercised his judgment not to tell her about the God Level System. It was too soon and too ridiculous a story to share at that juncture.
Lee Feng observed her brother for a long time and then suddenly burst into laughter. She leaned towards him and planted a kiss on his face. It was reminiscent of the time when they were children.
"No matter what happens, you will always be my brother~"
"I know that."
Lee Yun's handsome face faltered in embarrassment.
Lee Feng and Lee Yun were not blood-related siblings, and yet they had a very intimate relationship. When they were in puberty, Lee Yun could not help having weird thoughts about her.
Neither of them had ever broached the subject. They had lived as siblings even before their little sisters had grown up. The very notion of being lovers had never appeared.
"All right then. Leave me be. I have to finish the cooking by myself~!"
Lee Feng hustled him out of the balcony, and made preparations for a hearty meal.
Lee Yun gave up and turned to leave. A System prompt appeared.
'Ding! Choice event triggered. Host must choose.'
'Choice 1: Head to the living room and watch TV. Reward: Random gift. '
'Choice 2: Help Lee Feng. Reward Skill: Mid-level cooking, Charm + 1.'
