The bathroom is a very magical place. Sometimes you don’t feel anything, but when you get there, hey, there it is!
As soon as Sheng Qing entered the bathroom, Chen You followed him in with a sudden urge to urinate.
There was a row of urinals inside, and a guy was using the urinal with his cell phone clamped between his ear and shoulder, seemingly talking to his girlfriend.
“Dear, don’t be angry. I was wrong. Of course I’m sincere to you. What do you want me to do so you’ll believe me? Okay, I swear if I lie to you, I will get hit by a car and die!”
Chen You glanced at him silently. Dude, you’re too ruthless to yourself. Anyone can tell at first glance that you’re doing big things.
“I’ve already sworn an oath, what else do you want? Stop crying, I’ll come find you later, just wait for me at home.”
The guy put his phone in his pocket, pulled up his pants and made another call. “I’m not coming over tonight.”
“I have something to do at the company, so I have to work overtime. Don’t wait for me. I’ll work all night. Hm, I know. Don’t stay up late. Go to bed early. I’ll buy you something delicious tomorrow. I love you. I love you so, so much. If I’m lying, I’ll get hit by a car and die when I go out!”
Chen You, “…”
Wow, Dude, you are so awesome. The two boats are moving forward side by side1Two-timing is also described in an idiom as 一腳踏兩船, lit. one leg on two boats with a whoosh.
After hanging up the phone, the guy glared at Chen You and asked, “What are you looking at?”
He then saw Sheng Qing next to Chen You. His throat tightened due to the strong sense of oppression. He walked out quickly and bumped into the door frame because he wasn’t paying attention.
The sound was very loud.
Chen You felt pain upon hearing it. Serves you right for shamelessly playing with two girls.
The guy covered his face in pain and walked out.
Chen You blurted out without thinking, “Dad, it was really karma when that guy got hit in the face just now.”
Having heard what he said, Sheng Qing’s thin lips drew a sharp arc. “What is karma?”
Chen You’s heart skipped a beat. Oh no, he touched Sheng Qing’s reverse scale.
When this man was a child, he killed someone in order to escape. When he grew up, he even killed his own parent and siblings in order to survive. Later, in order to gain real power, he strategized to destroy many companies, causing the ruin of countless families.
In recent years, he still hasn’t held back his hand to become a serious businessman.
Chen You could understand why it couldn’t be held back. People like Sheng Qing did so many bad things that once they lost their power and influence, they would be killed on the same day.
The atmosphere was quite bad.
Aren’t you here to pee? Why are you so nervous?
Chen You licked his dry lips. “There are several couples in the class who are dating, and they are doing well.”
“I think that relationships should have loyalty. Dating two people at the same time and lying to them, like the guy earlier, is wrong.”
Sheng Qing smiled a smile that was not quite a smile. “Lying is wrong, do you think so?”
Chen You nodded vigorously. “Mn.”
Sheng Qing’s meaning was unclear. “Is that so?”
Why does it have to be a rhetorical question? Chen You felt an inexplicable sense of creepiness.
He grabbed his left hand with his right hand, feeling very panicked.
Sheng Qing said indifferently, “Your ability to change the subject is average.”
Chen You, “…..”
He heard the slight sound of a metal zipper unzipping and did it as well.
Two people, one big and one small, one tall and one short, stood side by side in front of the urinal.
Chen You ‘s peripheral vision flew over. What the fck, truly incredible at a glance.
He couldn’t help but want to clap his hands. Beautiful, beautiful, so beautiful!
The system suddenly popped up. “Don’t smile.”
Chen You’s attention was distracted, but then he focused it again. “I’m not smiling.”
The System said, “I mean don’t smile in your heart.”
Chen You was unhappy. “What’s wrong? I’m very happy right now. Is it not okay for me to smile a little in my heart?”
The System told him, “Your smile is disgusting.”
Chen You was speechless. When he looked again, the man had already turned around to wash his hands.
Ai, what a pity, I can’t even look at it for one more second.
Chen You sighed, not knowing whether he could touch it the next time he saw it.
“I really like it.”
System, “……”
Chen You added, “I was lucky enough to see the School grass’ pet bird yesterday. Oh, it’s too thin and looks malnourished. It’s no good. It’s hard to say whether it can grow strong in the future.”
“I think it’ll be difficult.”
The System asked, “How about your Daddy?”
“Great ah, exceedingly great!”
Chen You snorted. “You won’t understand even if I tell you. I just like it in that pure kind of way.”
“Whenever I see a beautiful bird of rare species, I want to reach out and touch it, but I don’t want to be pecked by it, really.”
“I believe.”
The System said, “But have you ever thought about how the bird will feel when it is touched? Will it or will it not get angry?”
“I haven’t thought about it. I’ll think about it when I have time.”
Seeing the man leave without calling him, Chen You quickly washed his hands and went out.
The six teachers come from two schools in the city. They all passed the assessment and have arranged their class schedules from Monday to Sunday, without missing a single day.
Chen You slumped down in his chair with despair, feeling that he was on the brink of death.
He thought of Sheng Jing’s contempt at that time and became furious. His father often said that as long as one is alive, one should fight for one’s life.
Chen You slammed the table. Then let’s fight for it!
Chen You didn’t want to go back to the mansion tonight. Because firstly, he wanted to make progress on the mission, and secondly, that place was big and eerie like a haunted house.
When in his room, he would always feel a cold wind blowing around, making him awfully paranoid.
There was a large cemetery behind the mountain where all the Sheng family ancestors were buried after all. It would be creepy to pass by it during the day, let alone at night.
Chen You left the coffee shop and followed the man’s lead, then quickly got into the car and refused to leave.
Sheng Qing tilted his head. “Your grandma told me about it. She said she would buy you a cell phone if you get in the first thirty of the school. I think that’s a good idea.”
He raised one arm and placed his palm on the boy’s head. “Show Dad.”
Chen You was stunned. “Oh.”
More than half an hour later, the car stopped outside a high-end club.
Sheng Qing asked the driver to take Chen You back.
Chen You got out of the car behind him and shouted at his back, “Dad, I’ll wait for you on the roadside. I won’t go home tonight. I want to sleep with you!”
Passers-by looked sideways one by one.
Chen You closed his mouth and jumped onto the steps beside the flower bed and squatted down.
He was very determined and refused to go back.
The temperature has been fluctuating these past two days, so there weren’t many long legs on the street. Chen You scanned every passerby who passed through his pupils, particularly at the shoes they were wearing.
After an unknown amount of time, the driver walked up to Chen You and said, “Master Xia, Sir asked me to take you to KFC.”
Chen You ‘s eyes curved. “Okay.”
KFC was just across the street. There were a lot of people inside and not that many seats were available.
Chen You bought his favorite Coke, spicy chicken wings, chicken wraps, French fries, and two hamburgers.
He pursed his lips. “Uncle, I’m so hungry.”
The driver received the change and thought to himself, Uncle can see that you are very hungry.
Chen You saw the school grass and the pretty girl. They were talking about something, and the pretty girl started pushing the school grass and flirting with him.
The driver looked over and said, “Young Master Xia, do you want to sit with your classmates?”
Chen You shook his head. “No, they’re a couple and I don’t want to be a third wheel.”
Xiao Langgou on the other side accidentally caught a glimpse of a figure. Just as he was about to wave, he saw the other person turn his face away, looking very hurt.
He frowned and decided to find time to talk things out with the little crybaby.
Isn’t it nice to just play games and kill monsters together as buddies? It’s no fun to get involved in anything else.
Chen You waited until almost nine o’clock before he saw Sheng Qing walking out of the club. There was a beautiful woman next to him. She was very tall and had the same figure as the pretty girl, all legs below her chest.
Not only does she have long legs, she also wore very high heels which were approximately ten centimeters high. She has a strong aura, causing the average person to not be able to walk with her.
Chen You stood up and stretched his arms and legs, then trotted over. “Dad.”
He turned his head. “Hello, beautiful sister.”
The beautiful lady smiled sweetly. “Sheng Qing, is this your son? So cute.”
Sheng Qing’s face darkened. “Why haven’t you gone back yet?”
Chen You lowered his eyelids, unable to control his tears. “I told you, I won’t go back tonight, I’ll sleep with you.”
He flattened his lips and said, “You promised.”
Sheng Qing asked sternly, “When did I agree to this?”
Chen You shrank his neck. “Teacher said, no refusal is a yes.”
The beautiful lady was laughing so hard that her body was shaking. “It’s very common for a father and son to sleep together. There won’t be any problem.”
Chen You heard it. Why did he feel like the beautiful sister’s tone was for comforting a sick patient?
He asked the system, and all he heard in his mind was a ding: Please leave a message if anything’s the matter.
Chen You left a message to the system, “Is Sheng Qing sick? Please reply if you receive it. Please reply if you receive it. “
After saying her greetings, the beauty drove away in her car.
Sheng Qing walked away without saying a word.
Chen You pulled the man’s hand, but was shaken away. He tried to pull again.
A cold warning sounded overhead, “Sheng Xia!”
Chen You cried. “Dad, I was wrong.”
He cried so hard that his face and eyes were soon sopping, and his little shoulders were shaking.
With his thin body, he looked very pitiful when the wind blew.
“I’m… I’m sorry… I’ll… I’ll… leave now… now…”
Chen You cried until he was gasping for breath and his chin was submerged in water. “Dad, you… don’t be angry…”
Shit, it’s so uncomfortable, I can’t even stop.
Sheng Qing carried the boy into the car, threw him into the back seat, and ordered in a cold voice, “Drive.”
The driver didn’t dare breathe and did as he was told.
Curled up into a ball, Chen You cried as he wiped his tears. Damn it, this time he didn’t cry to death, but he cried and hurt himself.
A terrible low pressure pervaded all the way.
The car had driven into an apartment building. Chen You took a breath and followed the man into the corridor.
Hahahahaha I’m finally here!
Chen You knew that under normal circumstances, Sheng Guang and Sheng Jing could not come here without permission. This apartment was Sheng Qing’s private residence.
After entering the door, Sheng Qing handed the youth slippers. “Go to the guest room and sleep.”
After saying that, he went to the study.
Chen You put on his slippers and looked around the apartment. There was nothing good to see. Everything was old-fashioned and monotonous, without a single bright color.
He left another message to the system, “I’m not going to sleep tonight, bless me ah.”
The guest room was on the left. Chen You opened the door and went in. There were beds and blankets inside.
Sheng Qing has a quirk. He liked to change rooms in the middle of the night when sleeping.
It meant being in the master bedroom for the first half of the night and then suddenly waking up in the second half of the night to go sleep in the next bedroom.
Even when traveling on business, Sheng Qing would book two rooms next to each other.
How thrilling.
Chen You threw his schoolbag on the bed, lay on it, and took out a test paper, textbook, and pencil case.
Ai, he must study hard and make progress every day.
There was a wall clock in the living room, and Chen You checked the time with it every once in a while. When it was eleven o’clock, he knocked on the door with the test paper in hand. “Dad.”
A hoarse voice of a man came from inside, seemingly waking from sleep. “What’s the matter?”
Chen You said, “I have questions I can’t answer.”
After a while, there was a response, “Ask the teacher tomorrow.”
That won’t do, my dear father. I want to talk to you about life tonight, ai. Chen You said in a helpless tone, “Dad, there’s more than one question. I don’t know many of them. Please help me look at them. They are due tomorrow.”
No response.
Chen You poked his forehead with the cap of a gel pen. What should he do? The system was not there. It felt bad to struggle alone.
The door suddenly opened. Chen You was caught off guard and fell forward.
He didn’t fall to the ground because he was stopped by very hard pectoral muscles.
The man’s cold voice was by his ear. “You don’t know how to answer a lot of the questions? Did you listen carefully in class?”
Chen You was brought to the side. He stood firm and looked up. The man was wearing a dark gray bathrobe, his meticulous hair was a little messy as if he had just come out of bed.
This image of him was still very abstinent, like a statue carved out of marble.
Chen You thought for a moment and said, “My brain is stupid.”
The only option left was to use the route of ‘I am a little stupid bird just like you were.’
Sheng Qing’s face was cold and stern. He pointed at the sofa in the room and said, “Go over there and wait.”
Chen You quickly followed his instructions.
Sheng Qing went to the bathroom and then made a cup of strong coffee before sitting on the sofa. “Bring it here.”
Chen You handed over the test paper and moved his butt over.
Sheng Qing put on his frameless glasses and looked at the test paper. “They’re all wrong.”
Chen You was unconvinced. “Not a single question is correct?”
He pointed at a multiple-choice question. “I calculated this one twice and it’s still wrong?”
“You’ll still be wrong even if you calculate it ten times.”
Sheng Qing’s brows were knotted. “If you don’t listen in class, don’t memorize the formulas, and just wait to get your diploma, then that’s it.”
“I used to think like that, but now I don’t.”
Chen You took the blame for the original and said, “Dad, I will try my best.”
Sheng Qing shook the test paper. “And this is the result?”
Chen You’s face turned red.
It seems like a bit of a stretch to not get one question right. Maybe he ate too many chicken wings tonight and burned his brain.
“Grades are not the only accurate measure of a person’s excellence, but…”
Sheng Qing threw the test paper on the sofa. “If you don’t make progress even when you are still a student, don’t try to persevere and just muddle through, it will be much more difficult for you to enter society compared to others.”
Chen You said, “I don’t understand.”
Sheng Qing stood up to get a cigarette, lit one, and put it to his lips. “Don’t pretend in front of Dad.”
It’s over, it’s over, it’s over, I’m exposed. Chen You swallowed, blinked his eyes and asked, “Pretend?”
Sheng Qing exhaled a cloud of smoke, his deep eyes fixed on the boy through the smoke. He sighed and said, “Dad hates naughty children.”
