粑粑 is translated to Daddy.
Chen You’s acting skills would plummet at a terrifying rate every time he entered a mission world, from 100 points to 50 points and then to 0 points.
He was new here, and his acting was at 100.
Under tremendous pressure, Chen You adjusted himself to the original Sheng Xia’s state. With a whoosh, he began to tremble. His trembling was of very high quality and occurred in layers as well. First, it was his hand clasping the bowl, then his lips, and finally his entire body.
In the original’s heart, Sheng Qing was a godlike existence. Powerful, terrifying, and revered. A mouse could hide from a cat, but he didn’t dare hide. He’d just tremble on the spot.
Chen You lowered his eyes and put on a pitiful crying-out-of-fear appearance. Small droplets of water condensed on his eyelashes. Not only that, he also challenged the difficult act of biting his lips for the first time.
The System replied, “Not bad.”
The little man in Chen You’s heart was swaying proudly. He quickly used his Nunchakus’ henghenghahei. “Tell me what everyone’s reaction is like.”
He had lowered his head and could not see anything except his thighs.
The system described, “Your grandmother and your two younger brothers are gloating, waiting for you to be reprimanded and scram out of the room.”
Chen You asked, “What about my Daddy?”
The system replied, “Your Daddy looked at you and wondered what you looked like.”
Sh!t, this is really something. Chen You’s hair knot trembled. He was sure Sheng Qing didn’t know what grade the original was in, let alone how old he was.
Of course, Sheng Qing didn’t even have the time to pay attention to the two teenagers’ studies.
When Sheng Qing brought the original back to the Sheng family, he had asked about him out of the camaraderie he had for his subordinate. However, the original was submissive and could not answer all the questions. He was trembling and crying at every turn.
Cowardice, inferiority, timidity, incompetence, and being below average were all things Sheng Qing could not tolerate, and the original had them all.
Therefore, the number of times Sheng Qing asked about him gradually decreased.
In order to silence the elders in the family, Sheng Qing adopted two sons. They were educated in all kinds of things and were very outstanding. They made the original even more useless, turning him into dust in the corner. He would either not be seen or would only be an eyesore if seen.
If someone wanted to catch Sheng Qing’s eye and hear a compliment from his mouth, it was not enough to be good, they had to be the best.
The original worked hard, and the other two worked harder than him. He was left far behind by those two. He felt that he could not learn anything well and could not compare to them no matter what so he had long given up on himself.
Now that the two adopted sons were competing secretly, it was uncertain who would win.
After a short silence, Madam Sheng said, “Xiaxia, what’s wrong with you? You can’t even hold a spoon properly.”
Chen You’s lips trembled again. He waited for a while and felt his nose warming up. His breathing was blocked and he started to utter words with a sob. “I’m… I’m… I’m sorry…”
Madam Sheng did not hide her disgust. “How old are you? You’re crying?”
He glanced at the two teenagers and a satisfied expression appeared on her face. “Boys should behave like boys. Look at your two younger brothers, when did they cry and fuss like you?”
The two teenagers didn’t make a sound and were very obedient.
Chen You turned his voice down to the lowest level. “Grandma, Dad, I won’t do it again.”
And then something really weird happened.
He suddenly began to cry. Tears flowed uncontrollably, as if there were two little floodgates in his eyes and now that someone had opened them, they flowed out with a crash.
Chen You cried as he asked the system, “Fvck, what happened? I didn’t want to cry.”
The system said, “I forgot to tell you, the original is a crybaby.”
Chen You continued crying. “Then how do I stop ah?”
The system told him, “You’ll stop crying when you’ve had enough.”
Chen You, “…….”
The system added, “With the original’s crybaby package on the side, the likelihood of your acting falling off the course and being suspected is diminished.”
“That’s so good but why can’t I be happy at all?”
Chen You cried until he was out of breath. His tears flowed down his cheeks down his neck.
No one paid attention to him as they were already used to it.
The man at the head of the table stood up and left without looking at him.
Madam Sheng asked the servant to clean up the table. She picked up the napkin beside her and wiped her hands. “I can’t even enjoy breakfast.”
“Xiao Guang, Xiao Jing, don’t go back tonight. Tomorrow is a weekend, Grandma will take you to the aquarium to see dolphins.”
Sheng Guang sipped his milk. His face, which was the same color as milk, had a cute little angelic smile. “Grandma, I can’t. I have make-up lessons.”
Sheng Jingchang’s expression was a little cold. He also said the same thing.
“Why are you still taking make-up lessons? Grandma is telling you, your father is too strict.” Madam Sheng’s next sentence was a little harsh. “You both get the highest marks every time, and you still work so hard. Meanwhile, some people are ranked last and you don’t even see them doing a single homework.”
Chen You hiccuped as she talked nonsense.
Back then, the original’s father was one among the large number of people who died in the Sheng family’s open and secret struggle for power. He was also one of the few people whom Madam Sheng did not like. Naturally, he did not treat his child any better.
If Sheng Qing had not personally instructed everyone to keep their mouths shut, Madam Sheng would have told the original about his background long ago. The original would definitely not have the face to stay any longer and would have gotten out of there by himself.
Soon, Chen You was alone in the drawing room. He was still hiccupping, his eyes were red, and so was his nose.
So vexing.
Sheng Qing hated it when people cried. Wasn’t he stepping on a landmine?
Chen You rubbed his eyes and went upstairs to put a towel on top of it.
Not long after, the servant called him so they could go pay respects.
The graves of the Sheng family ancestors were at the back of a mountain.
The weather wasn’t good today. It was cloudy and it may rain at any time.
Chen You pulled up the hood of his sweater and walked at the back of the group with his head lowered, watching the flowers and plants they pass by from time to time.
The servants did not completely restrain their usual cunning and contemptuous attitude even when the Master returned. This was because in their eyes, Sheng Xia was trash. How could the Master pay attention to him?
Chen You, who had just taken over the trash in the script, wanted to counterattack.
Wasn’t there a saying that you still have to have dreams, just in case they come true?
The System said, “That’s just another word for ‘to hell with it’.”
Chen You snorted. “I’ll bite you!”
A servant came over and said, “Young Master Xia, you’re dawdling behind us. You’re being disrespectful to the ancestors of the Sheng family. Madam will blame you.”
Chen You quickened his pace and walked past her.
The servant was unhappy but the person beside her stopped her. “Why are you arguing with a piece of trash?”
Chen You heard it.
Sigh, the original had lived in such a dirty atmosphere for more than ten years. No wonder he had depression and committed suicide.
If it were him, Chen You would put his hand in his jeans pocket and laugh twice. He would make others depressed instead.
Upon arriving at the graveyard, there was a strong wind, causing the trees on the mountain to shake.
Chen You stood aside and looked at the man squatting in front of the grave, lighting incense candles. He recalled the other party’s personal information.
Sheng Qing was the youngest. When he was young, he was extremely thin. His brain was slow-witted and he stuttered a little. His two older brothers were more excellent than him. They often laughed at him for being stupid and imitated his speech.
Once, a shooting took place. Sheng Qing’s father saved his two brothers first whilst he was captured and lived a hellish life for three years.
He escaped on his own, killing people, fleeing, and enduring the fear and torment of blood when he was still very young.
After Sheng Qing escaped back to the Sheng family, no one, including his parents, cared about how he survived those three years, what happened during that time, whether he was injured or not, or how he escaped.
Perhaps bloodshed, defeat, humiliation, and even death were a normal thing within influential families.
If he didn’t want to be treated like a chess piece, he had to become the strongest and be able to decide the life and death of others.
Sheng Qing was still a stupid child on the surface, but he had been secretly using all the cunning he had learned during the past three years on those who had given up on him.
He casted his net and slowly retrieved it.
Because Sheng Qing was prepared, he chose to take the initiative when he learned that his father was going to give up on him again. A battle of fame and power evolved into a battle of self-destruction.
That’s a lot of evil points ah.
Chen You’s head hurt. He was scared out of his skin. He looked down and realized that it was a pine cone that had fallen from a tree.
He was about to pick it up and play with it when white sports shoes with a famous brand appeared in his field of vision.
Seeing the color, Chen You knew that it was Sheng Guang. This person loved white. If others wore the same color as him, he would be unhappy. Hehe, he really thinks he’s an angel descended from heaven.
“Xia-Gege1Gege is Older brother, Didi is little brother, that pine cone is so beautiful. Pick it up and let me play with it.”
The youth’s voice was soft and melodious.
Chen You grabbed the pine cone and stood up to hand it to Sheng Guang. “Guang-Didi, take it and play.”
Sheng Guang didn’t reach out to pick it up so the pine cone fell to his feet. He blinked innocently and said, “Xia-Gege, I’m sorry. I missed it. Can you help me pick it up again?”
Chen You’s thumb moved. Little brother ai, Big brother really wants to give you a like oh, then I’ll let you fvcking roll to wherever the hell you came from.
Motherfvker, you’re forcing Laozi to curse!
Chen You was currently the pitiful Sheng Xia. Even if Sheng Guang wanted a leaf from a tree because he thought it looked good, he would have to climb up and pick it, let alone Sheng Guang asking him to pick a pine cone from the ground.
This was because this had happened before, and more than once. Sheng Xia was just something the two teenagers, Guang and Jing, used to pass the time.
The second time he picked up the pine cone, Chen You did not hand it over, but instead he grabbed Sheng Guang’s hand with his other hand and stuffed the pine cone into his.
He was about to cry again. Chen You tried his best to hold it in. “Guang-Didi, hold it steady. Don’t drop it again this time.”
After saying that, he pretended to finish looking for pine cones. He didn’t want to wait for even a second. Otherwise, Chen You would not be able to resist rubbing the youth’s beautiful hairstyle into a bird’s nest. You’re so fond of messing with others at such a young age but you weren’t born as a young master. You were lucky enough to pick up a young master’s life and just started playing crazily. Sooner or later, you would die by your own hands.
Sheng Guang looked at the pine cone in his hand and disgust instantly appeared at the corner of his mouth. He threw them onto the ground and took out a pack of tissues from his pocket.
Sounds of footsteps approached as Sheng Jing walked up from the left side and said, “Why are you suddenly interested in that piece of trash?”
Sheng Guang wiped his hands carefully with a tissue. “I’m bored.”
He crumpled the tissue into a ball and threw it into the bushes. He mumbled, “Dad comes back every year to visit the graves, and he even brings us along. I really don’t know what the point is.”
Sheng Jing looked at the tall figure not far away. “You can ask Dad.”
Sheng Guang also looked over, his eyes full of worship and admiration. He seemed to have thought of something terrifying. His face turned pale and his voice sounded a little strange. “Forget it. I don’t want to see Dad’s face darken.”
Chen You, who had walked away, looked around again. He cut off a few tender green branches and walked to the man’s side.
He watched as the other party laid out the offering and put a handful of new soil on the grave, then he handed over the tender branches in his hand.
Sheng Qing glanced at it but did not say anything. He simply took it and inserted it into the new soil.
This scene was captured by everyone present, and they all had their own thoughts.
