Chapter 103.3 – Crying (3)

Seeing Summer, Autumn, and Winter looking at him, Chen You smiled. “It’s fine, it’s fine. Master is just getting old. When my eyes are blown on by the wind, tears will flow. Just close the door and it’ll be fine.”

Autumn Orange went to close the door.

He, Summer Pear, and Winter Dates were unable to calm down. They had this constant feeling that their Master was in a bad mood.

Chen You’s mood was not only bad, it was terrible. “I find you especially annoying now. You tell me not to let my emotions run wild in the mission world and warn me about all sorts of things but at the same time, you deliberately tell me about Second Pup.”

The System said, “This is a test for you.”

Chen You asked back, “Is it?”

The System replied, “You have the potential to become an excellent host.”

“…” Chen You said, “So you did this because you love me?”

The System answered, “You can think of it that way.”

Chen wanted to knock it flying out of the room. “Thank you.”

Intuition told him that this matter was not that simple. There must be a bigger conspiracy.

In the afternoon, Young Master Hu came.

Chen You looked at Summer Pear’s expression and knew that the news had leaked from him to Young Master Hu’s ears.

Young Master Hu’s eyes started to turn red as soon as he entered the house, and he choked up several times. He used to be a hooligan young master who only engaged in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. Children would run away when they saw him. Later, when he met Chen You, he changed his ways, studied hard, and did business. He became a useful person and returned to the Hu family to honor his ancestors.

Therefore, in Young Master Hu’s heart, Chen You was like a teacher. As soon as he heard that Chen You was ill, he rushed over to visit him.

“Brother Liao, are you feeling better?”

“Much better.” Chen You waved his hand. “Move aside. Don’t block the sunlight.”

Young Master Hu uttered, “Oh,” and moved his body to let the sunlight shine on the man’s face. The more he looked, the more frightened he became. Why did he look so bad?

“I’ll ask my uncle to come over and check your pulse.”

Chen You said no. The poison in him still hasn’t been cleared thoroughly, it could still drag on for a while even if it was more dead than alive.

Young Master Hu’s eyes dimmed. “Brother Liao, why are you treating me like a stranger these days? You didn’t do that in the past.”

Chen You thought to himself, you don’t know this but Second Pup is a person who likes to eat vinegar and he minds you and Autumn Orange. In order to avoid any misunderstanding between me and him, I can only distance myself from you.

Young Master Hu said, “Brother Liao, shall I accompany you for a walk?”

Autumn Orange came over and said, “Master can’t leave.”

Young Master Hu was shocked. “Is it so serious? Have you seen a physician? What did they say?”

Autumn Orange glanced at the person on the bed and shook his head at Young Master Hu.

Young Master Hu frowned. “How can he not see a physician? Brother Liao, your health is important…”

Chen You ate a peach. “I can take care of it.”

One sentence silenced Young Master Hu and Autumn Orange.

Young Master Hu felt the man’s deliberate alienation. He sulked and stayed for a while before leaving.

Chen You had been waiting for Second Pup to come back, but he didn’t return.

He didn’t know when it started, but his body seemed to have recovered a lot and he can walk around the room in a small area.

Second Pup had returned.

Chen You was sure that he had eaten Second Pup’s grass, but why didn’t he come to see him?

He asked Summer, Autumn, and Winter to bring their people back to the Qingfenglou. Otherwise, Second Pup wouldn’t appear.

When Summer, Autumn, and Winter heard that their Master wanted them to leave, they were all very surprised. “Master, who will take care of you after we leave?”

There’s Second Pup, he will take good care of me. He is better than any of you. What came out of Chen You’s mouth was, “Master feels nearly recovered. Besides, with so many of you here, the person in the house will be afraid.”

Summer, Autumn, and Winter fell silent.

Master spoke the truth, people suffering from madness couldn’t see too many people as it was not good for their condition.

Summer, Autumn, and Winter dilly-dallied before leaving Bieyuan after repeatedly giving some advice.

After they left, the mansion became quiet. It was especially so when Second Pup’s mother was not hysterical.

Chen You waited for another day, but Second Pup didn’t appear. After two days, Second Pup still didn’t appear.

Still won’t come out? Then you leave me no choice but to set up a trap. Chen You sat up on the bed at night and very slowly went to pour water. As a result, when he reached the table, the man planted himself forward.

If he truly face-planted on the corner of the table, his eyes would go blind.

Chen You has a small problem. It was either do it quickly or do it cruelly.

Just as he was about to hit the corner of the table, a figure flew down from the cross beams, hugged him from behind, and took him safely to the side.

Finally, you’re willing to show up after all that hiding.

Chen You grabbed the hand at his waist and heard a very soft muffled groan at the side. He looked down and his eyes widened.

The hand on his waist was covered with wounds of varying depths. He had just scratched one of the wounds directly bloody with that blow as his fingertips had pierced inside the flesh.

Chen You immediately took his hand away and wanted to turn around to look at the young man behind him, but he failed.

He turned his head back. “Let me look.”

The young man’s cold voice said, “What are you going to look at?”

Chen You said, “You.”

There was a momentary pause in the breathing behind him. “There’s nothing to see.”

Chen Yu suddenly reached out behind him and scratched the young man’s itchy flesh. He remembered that Second Pup was ticklish.

Sensing the chaotic breathing in his ears, Chen You turned around and saw the young man, his rock-scratched face, including the panic that he couldn’t cover up in time.

A handsome young man that was completely disfigured.

Chen Mo saw that the man did not speak and thought he must’ve been scared. Ordinary people would be afraid if they saw him. He sneered and said sarcastically, “I told you there was nothing to see, but you insisted.”

Chen You was quite upset. “Sit on the bed.”

Chen Mo did not move.

Chen You glared at him. “Sit!”

Chen Mo’s eyes flickered slightly. He went to the bed and sat on the edge.

Chen You said with a straight face, “Take off your clothes.”

Chen Mo didn’t move once again. This time was even more strange, causing his ears to be dyed a layer of red.

Chen You turned fierce. “Are you gonna take it off or not?”

Chen Mo pursed his lips. “I won’t.”

Chen You took matters into his own hands. Overhead the young man, he voiced out a dangerous warning. “Don’t provoke me.”

Just admit it! Damn, you’re still so shy, hiding on the roof beams, thinking I’ll think you’re ugly and won’t want to see you? Fvck, am I that kind of person?

Chen You’s heart harbored a bellyful of fire. Second Pup still didn’t believe him, otherwise, his evil points wouldn’t have dropped so slowly.

His lips felt warm as he was kissed.

That time by the edge of the haystack was by chance, but now it was a true kiss. Chen Mo’s face was red.

It probably had something to do with Chen You opening his eyes to look at him.

If it were anyone else, they too would feel embarrassed if they kissed someone and the other party stared at them while doing so.

Chen You pursed his lips. Hmm, not bad. Delicious. “Take off your clothes. I’ll apply some medicine for you.”

Chen Mo expressionlessly said, “I’m not injured. What medicine?”

Chen You knitted his brows. “Let’s talk.”

He asked, “Are the things of the past already of the past?”

Chen Mo did not answer.

Chen You asked again, “Or, is it not over yet?”

Chen Mo still did not give an answer.

“……”

Have you let it go or not? Chen You grabbed him anxiously.

The strength was very small, and Chen Mo treated it as the man making a scene.

He turned his head and coughed, wiping the blood from his lips. “Does it matter?”

Chen You did not see what happened. “It does.”

“I don’t think so.” Chen Mo said lightly, “If this is what you wanted to talk about with me, then there’s nothing to talk about.”

Chen You pulled the young man’s face back to him, but the other turned it away again.

Chen You pulled again, and the young man turned again. The two of them were as childish as children.

“What happened to this?”

“Scar Five’s men did it.”

Chen You kept slapping him in his heart. Really? Tell me, how can you be so dishonest every time? Do you know that children who love to lie will be spanked?

He touched the young man’s face. It was smooth to the touch before, but now it was so full of cuts and pricks that it hurts just to touch it.

“If you think it’s disgusting, then don’t touch it.”

As soon as Chen Mo finished speaking, the man came up and very gently touched the wound on his forehead with his lips.

“I won’t be disgusted with you. Don’t even mention these big and small cuts, if you were simply an ugly person, I’d still like you.”

Chen You coaxed him and said with a smile, “Can you take off your clothes now and show me your injuries?”

“I won’t take it off.”

I can’t control you anymore, can I? Chen You raised his hand and hit the young man’s butt.

After the hit, he had ‘damn’ written on his face. This skill hadn’t been rusty at all after fifteen years.

Chen Mo’s face turned black then red. “Liao. Qing. Feng!”

Chen You coughed and pretended to be weak.

The move was effective. He could see the tension on the young man’s face. Apparently, his buttocks have been saved this time.

No matter what method Chen You used, he couldn’t get a look at the injuries on the young man’s body. He knew from the System’s description that they must be very terrifying.

He didn’t see him immediately after he came back, which meant that his injuries were even worse a few days ago.

Chen You had a load of things on his mind. His hand rested on the young man’s body and he did not sleep all night.

So did the man next to him.

Chen Mo stayed in Bieyuan. Because the injury on his face hadn’t healed, he didn’t appear in front of Granny Wang or else the old woman would be scared.

He would stealthily go to the opposite room, or when the person there came to the courtyard, he would stand at the door and watch.

Every time Chen You saw Second Pup, he sighed and felt sorry for Second Pup.

His mother was right in front of him but she didn’t remember or recognize him. How pitiful.

Chen You walked to the young man’s side and gave him a warm hug. “If you want to cry, just cry.”

Chen Mo lowered his head and rubbed his chin against the man’s shoulder. “I never cry.”

I once thought so too. In the end, at a certain point, I cried like a dead dog. Chen You continued hugging him and patted as well.

More than half a month later, Chen You heard a loud scream in the morning. It was Granny Wang.

He put on his coat and walked out of the room. Before he could get close, he saw a pair of feet hanging in the air, swaying gently.

At that moment, Chen You felt a chill down his spine. He knew what was happening inside.

Second Pup’s mother had hanged herself.

In the house, Granny Wang was so frightened that she fell to the ground. The young man was motionless.

Chen You gulped. He slowly walked over to the woman and looked up.

This was Chen You’s first time seeing someone hang themselves. It was impossible to not be afraid, but it seemed sadness was more prevalent. After all, it was someone close to him.

Chen You took the woman’s head out of the rope and slowly carried the body to the bed. Sister, you can go find your Qiao Lang in peace. If there is anything you want to do but haven’t done yet, just come to me. I will help you in whatever way I can.

But hurry up, I don’t know when I’m leaving.

Sister, I don’t know if you still remember that you have a son. He’s right here. Now that you’re gone, his only family member is gone too. He’ll feel very sad.

Chen You gazed at the woman and thought of his dead mother. He moved his fingers and carefully and gently touched the white hair on the woman’s temples. Looking at her like this, Second Pup’s eyebrows looked very similar to his mother’s.

Sister, I have known you for many years. There is something I still want to say—you are really not a qualified mother. You admit this, right? Also, I beg you for one thing. If you are free, go to your son’s dream and talk to him. He merely has a difficult temper but he’s very kind.

Chen You turned his head and saw that the young man was still rooted where he was earlier, crying without a sound.

Author’s note:

By the way, from 2014 to now, this is my fourth quick transmigration wherein the protagonist isn’t a professor or a boss who plans various schemes and are very intense. Some protagonists even act as the system. Youzi is one of the most flawed, common, and least calculating and intellectually scheming protagonists I’ve ever written. 

There’s probably no one who’s very very lackey-like, shameless, and vulgar as him. He’s a little sunshine who lights up the summer, weak, stupid, pure, cowardly, nagger, believes in God, loves to pray, a noob, happy-go-lucky, simple-minded, loves to dream, silly, a little perverted….. and an N number of omitted descriptions. He is completely incapable of those kinds of powerful acting style, like being noble and cool in appearance, or being quiet, and calm and indifferent. He falls off his horse every minute and exposes his stupidity. He must say whatever is in his heart, brainlessly and happily.

He really is like this. He will be spoiled by a big boss to the heavens once he returns to the real world, and will not get any better. Darlings, don’t dislike him hahahahaha

Love Youzi, Love you all
