## Chapter 240 – Side Story 7 – Chinatown Date With Ruilin (1)
***
Starting a week after the Lunar New Year, as he continued his dates with the slaves,
Si-yoon impregnated a total of four females: Do-hwa, Ji-woo, Chae-ryeong, and even Ruilin.
“Up to yesterday, that makes four in total….”
While imagining the future appearances of the children to be born filled him with warmth,
he also worried about the problems these children would face as they were born and grew up.
Simply put, the difficulty of raising many children
was not a problem at all with the wealth of those residing in the hideout.
The biggest problem was that he had as many as ten females.
Basically, the concept of polygamy itself is now difficult to accept in society, unlike in the past,
and it is uncertain how the children will accept this fact when they grow up in the future.
Perhaps because of this, Si-yoon woke up much earlier than his usual early wake-up time,
lying in bed, seriously contemplating what to do.
“Creating a school just for the children… that might be a good idea.”
Fortunately, Si-yoon’s females did not try to monopolize him or become jealous,
but rather got along so well that they were practically like real sisters, which was truly a relief.
Considering that at least ten or more children would be born in about nine months,
creating a space just for the children and them would be a good idea.
Imagining them learning about the world and growing up together in that space,
Si-yoon wore a warm smile as if he had never been worried.
“I wonder if the person I’m going on a date with today… is awake yet?”
Scratching his disheveled hair, he opened the door and went outside,
sitting on the living room sofa where the afterglow of the still dark night was reflected.
Ji-woo, who usually woke up earliest in this hideout and cleaned the living room, was also asleep,
so only a cool air flowed through the spacious living room and kitchen.
Not wanting to wake them up by watching videos from the early hours as usual,
Si-yoon quietly put water in the coffee pot in the kitchen.
“Should I have a cup of cocoa while feeling the cold breeze?”
Cocoa was something that Ji-woo and Ruilin, who liked sweet things, had bought to make,
but Si-yoon also secretly made himself a cup when the two were not in the hideout.
“Hehe… I guess this is what they call a small happiness.”
He took about four spoonfuls of cocoa powder from the cupboard into a mug,
poured in the boiled water, mixed it well, and decorated it with about five small marshmallow pieces.
Then, he put a few leftover pieces of bread from the refrigerator on a plate,
placed it on a tray with the cocoa, and slowly climbed the stairs leading to the rooftop.
***
The rooftop of Utopia’s hideout is largely divided into two areas.
A space that is open without a roof or walls, where you can feel the outside breeze and sunlight,
and a space surrounded by glass walls, where you can relax while looking at the scenery.
In particular, the indoor space has a small study where you can sit on the sofa and read a book,
and a place where you can enjoy a bath while looking at the outside scenery.
“I’m glad it’s not snowing today.
I had a hard time yesterday clearing the snow that had accumulated on the roof.”
Si-yoon opened the door to enter the study, placed the tray on the table,
and picked up the cup filled with warm cocoa.
“What is it? Is someone taking a bath from the morning?”
After taking about two sips of cocoa, Si-yoon noticed a light seeping through the door,
put down the cup, got up from his seat, and opened the door leading to the bathroom.
On the sink were underwear and a cute animal pajama set,
and underneath it, a rather ornate cheongsam was neatly folded.
“She usually wakes up the latest… did she wake up really early because it’s our date?”
Si-yoon knew exactly who was in the bathroom just by looking at the clothes.
“Hmm hmm… hmmm…♥”
Opening the bathroom door very quietly and peeking inside,
he could see Ruilin humming and soaking in the warm water.
“She’s even taking a bath from the morning… is she preparing hard because it’s our date?”
“Kyaa?! O… Older brother?”
Ruilin, who had been absorbed in her bath, heard Si-yoon’s voice,
startled and turned her head, but let out a deep sigh when she realized it was him.
“You surprised me! I thought the kids were coming to play pranks again from the morning.”
Unless Ruilin uses body transformation to change her figure to glamour mode,
she is the smallest and most petite of the females in the hideout.
Relatively smaller than Seraphina and Aquamarine, who are the youngest,
they often treat Ruilin, who is one year older than Si-yoon, as the youngest and play pranks on her.
“I woke up a little early and came out to have a cup of cocoa…,
but I came to see if anyone was there because the bathroom light was on.”
“Co… Cocoa? Ji-woo and I bought that to drink!”
Ruilin’s eyes widened when Si-yoon said he was drinking cocoa.
It seemed she thought she had hidden it secretly.
“Well… it can’t be helped since you hid it in a place where it could be easily found.
I’ve only had two sips, do you want to drink some too?”
Ruilin looked a little sulky at the fact that she had been caught so easily,
but her expression quickly brightened at the mention of drinking cocoa and she walked out of the bathroom.
“Slurp…♥”
While Si-yoon was drying her long turquoise hair with a hair dryer,
Ruilin wrapped a towel around her body, sat on the sofa, and drank the cocoa with a truly happy expression.
‘Older brother’s lips touched this cup…♥’
She may like sweet food very much,
but the fact that Si-yoon had left some meant that she had indirectly kissed him.
“So… what would you like to do and play today?”
“Chinatown! I’m going to Chinatown.”
Ruilin answered ‘Chinatown’ to Si-yoon’s question about the date plan.
Generally, Chinatown refers to a place where Chinese people living abroad gather,
but it is also a meaningful place for her, who spent her childhood in China.
“I thought so… I saw a newly bought cheongsam on the sink.”
“Ah…?! I… I was going to show it to you later…!”
Ruilin doesn’t seem to have any talent for hiding or lying.
Si-yoon chuckled as if he thought so,
and nodded, imagining Ruilin wearing the new cheongsam.
“If it’s Chinatown, you’re talking about the one in L City…,
so it’ll take about an hour and a half by car from here.”
“The shops usually open around 10 o’clock, so it’s okay to go out slowly.”
“Then… let’s eat from the morning and move slowly.”
Using the map app on his smartphone to check the distance between the hideout and the destination,
Si-yoon dried all of Ruilin’s long hair and went down from the rooftop first.

Considering the opening hours of Chinatown and the time it takes to get there,
Si-yoon and Ruilin finished a light breakfast with the cocoa they were drinking.
“Even though it snowed a few days ago… it’s not as cold as I thought.”
While waiting for Ruilin, who usually takes the longest to prepare because of her hairstyle,
he is looking at the way to drive on the map app several times.
“Older brother!”
Ruilin, who had finished preparing to go out, walked out of the front door.
She is wearing a luxurious cheongsam with black fabric and gold embroidery,
and a white fur coat that gives a rich and warm feeling on top of it.
While showing off her cute charm with her round dumpling hair and cute face,
she also has a sexy charm thanks to the design that highlights her larger breasts and beautiful legs.
“Shall we go?”
Looking like a nobleman’s son from a martial arts movie or novel,
Si-yoon treats her like a princess, holding her hand and carefully putting her in the car.
“Hehe…♥”
Ruilin is even more pleased with Si-yoon’s princess treatment.
After sitting in the passenger seat, she gently touched the hand that Si-yoon was holding,
and then smiled brightly and kissed Si-yoon on the cheek, who was sitting in the driver’s seat.
“This is… a thank you for treating me like a princess.”
Ruilin is passive and timid in situations that do not involve bombs or explosions,
but her personality has become more active and outgoing than before while living together in the hideout.
Of course, that activity is still lacking compared to the average person,
but being able to do skinship like this first is a great development.
Si-yoon carefully kissed Ruilin’s hand again,
expressing his gratitude for Ruilin’s cheek kiss.
“It’ll take quite a while to get to Chinatown, so get some sleep.
You must be quite tired from waking up early in the morning to prepare.”
Ruilin had already started nodding off just a few minutes after the car started moving.
She usually wakes up later than Si-yoon, who wakes up when the sun is high in the sky,
so it is natural for her to be sleepy now that she has woken up 6 hours earlier.
“But… it would be a waste of time if I slept during the trip.”
“If you don’t sleep even a little bit during this free time… you might not be able to do it in the evening?”
“Th… That!”
If she continues to doze off like this, her condition will worsen and she won’t be able to enjoy the date properly,
and she might not be able to do the main event in the evening.
Ruilin decided to accept the advice of her one-year-younger older brother,
and leaned her head on Si-yoon’s solid shoulder, who was driving, and closed her eyes.
