Surviving as a Brainwashing Villain in a Hero World 241

## Chapter 241 – Side Story 7 – Chinatown Date With Ruilin (2)

***

After an hour and a half drive from Utopia’s hideout,
Siyoon and Ruilin arrived at Chinatown, located on the outskirts of L City.

“It’s been a little over a year since I last came… it hasn’t changed at all.”

Ruilin gazed at the massive red gate proudly adorning the entrance to Chinatown,
a strange expression on her face as if lost in reminiscence.

“You’ve been here a few times before, it seems.”

“I can’t say it’s exactly the same… but it feels similar to the place I lived when I was little.”

She had lived in Korea until she entered elementary school,
but after that, she lived in a remote city in southeastern China before returning to Korea.

L City’s Chinatown was settled by people who had lived in southern China and Taiwan,
so Ruilin could see somewhat familiar food and street scenes.

Even during her time as a villain executive in Korea, she would often visit this place,
eating Chinese food and occasionally reminiscing about those memories.

“If there’s one difference… it’s a relief that people here don’t chew betel nuts.”

“Betel nuts… I know they’re bad for you.”

In the place where Ruilin spent her adolescence, many people chewed betel nuts,
which are tree nuts containing a strong psychoactive substance, a type of drug.

The problem is that they contain large amounts of potent carcinogens that cause oral and esophageal cancer,
so as a child, she could easily see people dying on the streets from betel nut addiction.

L City’s Chinatown is a tourist attraction directly managed by the city,
so it is incomparably cleaner and safer than slum villages or drug streets.

“When I think about it… it’s better to be here while living in Korea.
Above all, I have my precious big brother with me now!”

Ruilin held Siyoon’s thick, large hand tightly with her slender, small hand,
and began to stroll through the familiar-looking streets of Chinatown with cheerful steps.

“I’ve never actually been to China, but…
I somehow feel like I’m really on a Chinese street.”

Walking down the street, you can find not only Chinese food but also traditional snacks from various countries,
and the exterior walls of the buildings are painted with murals that evoke a strong sense of China.

“Here! A small gift for you, big brother.”

Ruilin went into a store, quickly bought something,
and placed the item she bought on Siyoon’s hand with a bright smile.

“I know what this is. It’s called a fortune cookie, right?”

“That’s right! We’ll use this to predict your luck, big brother.”

Siyoon gently broke the cookie in half,
unfolded the slip of paper inside, and read the contents written on it.

“You will have a good time with someone precious…
I thought these were superstitions, but it’s quite accurate?”

The meaning of ‘You will have a good time with someone precious’
is the same as Siyoon currently dating Ruilin here.

Siyoon doesn’t believe in superstitions or luck,
but he thinks there’s no harm in believing it when a good interpretation comes out like now.

“What does yours say, Ruilin? Did something similar come out?”

Ruilin also broke the cookie in half next to Siyoon,
suddenly her face flushed, and she hurriedly put the slip of paper in her pocket.

“Th-that’s! It’s… it’s the same as big brother’s.”

“Really? Looks like you picked one with the same message.”

Siyoon, seemingly not paying much attention, took Ruilin’s hand again,
and walked towards the place selling Chinese dumplings that she said she wanted to eat in the car.

‘The saying that you will soon welcome a precious life…
must mean that I will have big brother’s child…♥’

The content of the slip of paper she picked was ‘You will soon have the joy of welcoming a precious life’.
It was clearly implying that she would have Siyoon’s child.

“Is that it over there? I think the place I saw online is over there, right?”

“That’s right! That’s the store.”

Barely calming her pounding heart, they arrived at the dumpling shop.

Even though it wasn’t long after Chinatown opened,
already about half a dozen people were lined up waiting.

“If it’s featured a lot online and people are lining up to eat it…
it’s definitely a decent restaurant.”

Siyoon and Ruilin held hands tightly so they wouldn’t lose each other,
and joined the line of customers waiting for dumplings and bread.

As the people standing in front of them left one by one with bags of dumplings and bread in their hands,
after about 10 minutes, it was finally the two’s turn.

“Welcome!”

A middle-aged female employee with a warm and kind impression.

Seeing Ruilin wearing a cheongsam, she seemed to like it, giving a thumbs up,
and briefly explained the menu sold at the store.

“Two clay oven dumplings… both with meat, please.”

The employee who received the order put a long spatula into a kiln that looked like a large jar,
and took out two dumplings baked golden brown from inside and placed them on thick paper.

Then, with a kind smile, she handed the dumplings along with the change to Ruilin, who was full of anticipation.

“Oh… it’s piping hot because it’s freshly baked.”

The two who received the dumplings sat on a bench near the dumpling shop,
and began to split and share the steaming dumplings.

“Mmm…♥ Delicious…♥”

The savory juice and vegetable flavor bursting from the crispy and chewy crust.

Ruilin, as if moved by the taste of her hometown that she felt after a long time,
made all sorts of sounds mixed with admiration and ate the dumplings in an instant.

“Is it that good…?”

Siyoon, who watched her reaction from the side, also took a bite of the dumpling,
nodded, and understood why she was showing such an enthusiastic reaction.

“Big brother! Let’s go eat that!”

As soon as she finished the dumplings, Ruilin got up from the bench, grabbed Siyoon’s arm tightly, and ran somewhere.

Siyoon didn’t let go of Ruilin’s hand, who was running well even in heels,
and simply smiled at her cute appearance as he followed her.

From late morning until just before sunset, the two indulged in all sorts of food in Chinatown.

Starting with bread and snacks such as dumplings and mooncakes,
they mastered everything from familiar Chinese dishes such as sweet and sour pork and jajangmyeon to Koreans,
and even Dongpo pork and xiaolongbao that are usually difficult to find.

“Haa… I’m so full that my stomach is about to burst…”

“I’m worried that I won’t be able to digest it until tomorrow morning.”

Afterwards, the two sat in a resting area on a hill inside Chinatown,
holding their stomachs that seemed about to burst because they had eaten too much food.

“It’s okay! I used to eat things in the trash can and it was no problem.”

Ruilin talked about the garbage-level food she ate in the slum village when she was young,
and nodded, saying that there would probably be no problem.

“Hearing you say you ate such food… it hurts my heart somehow.”

“After returning to Korea, I still ate a lot of delicious things.
And… I got something more precious than delicious food, didn’t I?”

Looking at the sky of Chinatown, where darkness was slowly approaching as the sun set,
Ruilin hugged the arm of the ‘more precious being’ to her tightly.

“The fireworks will probably start soon…
Shall we slowly go inside the hotel now?”

“Not watching from outside?”

“I’ve booked a place with a similar view to this!
You’ll probably be able to see the fireworks well from the large glass window there.”

Just a moment ago, she said it was hard to even get up because she was so full,
but Ruilin soon seemed to have finished digesting and started walking down the hill, holding Siyoon’s hand.

“It definitely looks different after the sun goes down.”

As the lights and neon signs of Chinatown’s streets lit up as the sun set,
it makes you feel like you’re in a Taiwanese or Chinese night market.

Walking while feeling the red light of the beautiful lamps and the savory scent of street food again,
before they knew it, their steps stopped in front of a clean and luxurious high-rise building.

A luxurious hotel where you can see the night view of Chinatown.

Perhaps because it is in a tourist destination, it is more expensive than luxury hotels in the city,
and it is quite difficult to book a room because there are quite a few tourists.

“I almost couldn’t make a reservation… I’m glad I did.”

Ruilin also sighed in relief, recalling the time she was looking at the computer all day,
as if the hotel reservation process was not easy this time.

– Beepㅡ

After checking in, Ruilin and Siyoon took the elevator up and entered the room.

The interior of the room is made of glass like a hideout, so you can see the outside scenery clearly,
and the bed is structured to face the scenery so that you can enjoy the scenery comfortably.

“It’s almost time for the fireworks to come out…
We should slowly prepare to burn up hotly too…♥”

Ruilin took off her white fur coat and hung it on the sofa,
and raised her arms high, subtly showing her bright red armpits with sweat flowing.

‘The guys who are usually quiet are more active and daring at times like this…’

Siyoon, who was about to take off his coat and go into the bathroom to wash, scratched his chin with his finger,
and recalled Lumi, who didn’t wash and mixed her body vigorously while feeling her body odor.

“Hehe…♥”

Without stopping at her armpits, she slightly lifted the hem of the cheongsam covering her legs,
revealing her crotch without a single piece of underwear.

Perhaps thanks to the fact that she had gained a moderate amount of weight on her body that had been dry as a slave,
Ruilin’s abdomen and thighs, slightly wet with sweat, exuded an exquisite charm.

‘The fireworks… I guess this is what they mean.’

Not only showing her bright red armpits with sweat flowing,
but also a perverted younger sister who shows the fact that she was only wearing a cheongsam without underwear.

A big brother is needed to properly educate such a younger sister.

“Kyaa…!♥”

Siyoon, who was watching Ruilin’s tempting appearance, unbuttoned half of his shirt, rolled up his sleeves,
and lifted her up as she was and went up onto the bed.
