Chapter 114.2 – I’m a little crybaby (2)

When Chen You arrived at the school, the homeroom teacher was sitting behind the podium with his chin resting on a teacup, looking like he hadn’t woken up yet. The people below were holding books with a look of mysterious concentration on their faces.

He stood at the door of the classroom and shouted, “Present!”

The mixed sounds in the classroom stopped and everyone looked over.

The little fairy has been very popular recently.

The homeroom teacher’s chin brushed against the cup lid and he woke up. He looked at the boy at the door and asked, “Why are you late?”

Chen You kept wavering between excuses like “I felt sick to my stomach”, “traffic jam”, “something happened at home”, and “my dad was menopausal and wouldn’t let me come to school”. Finally, he said honestly, “I got up late.”

The homeroom teacher seemed satisfied with his honesty, so he said, “Stand up on your seat.”

Chen You went to his seat, took out his Chinese textbook from the table and started to memorize it while standing.

Xiao Langgou took advantage of the homeroom teacher getting up and walking around to say, “You saw me at KFC last night, why did you pretend not to know me?”

Chen You then said, “You were dating a pretty girl there, wouldn’t it ruin the good mood between you two if I went over?”

Xiao Langgou looked up from below and saw that the little crybaby’s eyes were swollen. He must have run out of KFC last night and cried silently in the corner for a long time. He sighed with melancholy. If he wanted to be friends with the little crybaby, he shouldn’t say too much.

After the morning self-study session, Xiao Langgou found the little crybaby in the cafeteria. “Sheng Xia, come with me.”

Chen You walked as he ate buns. “What’re you up to?”

Xiao Langgou glared. “Just come over here!”

The two of them stopped in a corner of the playground. It had just rained, the air was moist, and the north wind was blowing.

Chen You stuffed the last bite of the bun into his mouth and swallowed it in two or three chews. “Hurry up and say what you want to say. It’s so windy today, it’s giving me a headache.”

Xiao Langgou sneered. “You get a headache just from the wind. How come you’re more delicate than a girl?”

Chen You turned to leave.

Fvck you, this body gives me a headache when the wind blows, and there’s nothing Laozi can do about it.

His arm was grabbed, and he could hear the school grass huffing beside his ear. “Well, last time when you confessed to me, I was scared, so I said what I said to you. Anyway, that thing is in the past. How about we become buddies from now on?”

Xiao Langgou usually spoke incessantly and fluently, but now he stuttered.

“That’s what I think too.” Chen You said seriously. “I was wrong before. I didn’t like you. I just thought you were good at studying and playing basketball. The teacher liked you and everyone admired you, so I wanted to be friends with you.”

Xiao Langgou looked doubtful. “Is that true?”

Chen You pushed his hand away. “It couldn’t be more true.”

Xiao Langgou stared at the little crybaby who was half a head shorter than him. “You’re not gay?”

Chen You answered, “Of course not!” But I’m gay.

Xiao Langgou let out a long sigh. “That’s good.”

He ignored the inexplicable emotion in his heart, patted Chen You’s shoulder, bumped him in the front like a brother, and then let go. “Follow me in the future and I will make sure you stay away from last place.”

“Now that you mentioned this, it reminded me of something.” Chen You walked towards the school building. “My dad and my grandma said that if I rank in the top 30 in the final exam, I can get a cell phone.”

“Top 30 in the whole grade?”

Xiao Langgou laughed as if he had heard a very funny joke. He stood there laughing, holding his stomach until he choked.

Serves you right. Chen You rolled his eyes.

He kicked a stone. “Show me your notes.”

Xiao Langgou readily said, “Okay.”

“If you don’t understand anything, you can ask me. I may not have the time to answer you, but you can mark it all first, then I’ll explain it to you all at once when I’m free.”

“…” Chen You put his hands in his pockets. “My dad found six teachers to give me extra lessons. I will try my best and give it a try.”

Xiao Langgou clicked his tongue and said, “Six, you’re really good.”

After passing the day muddleheadedly, Chen You returned to the mansion and found his teacher waiting for him.

It was the geography teacher.

Chen You’s geography performance was hard to describe. He had the impression that he scored the worst in the class. When the teacher called out his name and score, he would have a look of despair on his face the whole time he went up to get his paper.

The geography teacher discussed while spinning the globe in a much more dedicated manner than the teachers at school.

There was no other way since the Sheng family invited him personally.

Chen You’s eyelids were drooping, so he pulled and pinched them, then pinched and pulled them, and held on with all his might until the teacher left.

The little yellow dog was discharged from the hospital on the weekend.

Chen You walked down the street holding the little yellow dog, feeling sad. “Laifu, I tried my best, but I really can’t contact your family.”

He patted the dog’s head. “Gege wants to raise you, but there’s a very fierce aunt at home and many unsympathetic bad guys, so I can’t take you home.”

“What to do……”

“Sheng Xia.”

Hearing a shout from behind, Chen You turned around and saw the school grass. This time there was no pretty girl around and he was wandering alone.

After a while, the two of them were sitting on a bench in the park. The little yellow dog was squatting beside them, chewing its tail for fun.

It was sunny and the weather was nice.

After listening to Chen You’s explanation, Xiao Langgou fell silent.

Chen You asked, unresigned, “Does your family like puppies?”

Xiao Langgou said, “My mother is allergic to dog hair.”

Chen You looked disappointed. “Oh, it seems there’s no hope.”

Xiao Langgou said, “Aren’t there some dog lovers out there? Go find them.”

“Oh yeah, I don’t have a cell phone, but you do.”

Chen You immediately asked Xiao Langgou to use his mobile phone to take a full-body photo of Laifu and upload the headshot to a forum to see if anyone would want to adopt him.

There were replies under the post very quickly, all of which said that the puppy was so cute and adorable.

Chen You picked up the little yellow dog and put it on his lap, smoothing its fur and sighing.

Xiao Langgou saw the boy’s anxious face and blurted out, “How about I go to my grandmother’s house instead? She likes puppies and is good at raising them. She raised several puppies before.”

Chen You You’s eyes lit up. “Okay!”

Xiao Langgou wanted to carry the little yellow dog, but the little yellow dog shrank into Chen You You’s arms and refused to let him hold it.

“……”

Xiao Langgou said with a sour face, “This little thing doesn’t like me, what should I do now?”

Chen You told him that it shouldn’t be the case because he’s the school grass ai. He said to the little yellow dog, “Laifu, this is the school grass. He’s kind-hearted and not a bad guy. You should go with him to his grandmother’s house and stay there for a while. I will find a little home for you and then pick you up when the time comes.”

Xiao Langgou rolled his eyes. “Why are you talking so much to a dog? It doesn’t understand, it’s just a waste of your feelings.”

Chen You snorted. “You’re not a puppy, how do you know it doesn’t understand?”

Xiao Langgou choked off.

The little yellow dog would be sent to the other’s grandmother’s house, so Chen You finally put his mind to rest. He felt much more relaxed. He bought some food and drinks and went to the Internet cafe with Xiao Langgou to play games for two hours.

Xiao Langgou was typing away on his keyboard, chatting privately with a friend from the guild, while saying to Chen You, “Go to Wei River, I’ll take you to a dungeon.”

Chen You was chewing gum and blowing bubbles. “I don’t want to battle.”

Xiao Langgou said, “Get your weapon.”

Chen You followed.

He found a boatman at the pier and took a boat to the other side of Wei River, then to an island. It was a level 60 instance. Xiao Langgou swept through the enemy troops along the way while Chen You followed behind him, busily picking up things here and there.

The sleeves of a warrior in white clothes fluttered in the game as a chat box appeared above his head: [Let’s battle again and I’ll take you to catch a pet.]

A box also appeared above the head of the bearded muscular man opposite: [No, I don’t like pets.]

Xiao Langgou was biting a cigarette in his mouth. “Then I’m going to go play a game of three on three with a few friends. We’re going to play attack and defense at seven o’clock later. You can do the tasks by yourself.”

Chen You was playing on his own so he hasn’t joined any faction yet. Attack and defense have nothing to do with him.

At seven o’clock, Chen You ran to Magpie Mountain to watch.

There were a large number of green player names densely packed on the hillside. Anyone with trypophobia would definitely turn off their computer on the spot when they see it.

Xiao Langgou’s voice rang out in the midst of the attack and defense, “Now everyone get on your horses, follow Ji Mao once you see him and gather at Wangfu Cliff, quickly——”

Chen You moved closer to his side to watch.

Xiao Langgou wasn’t paying attention and his mouth touched something when he turned his head. It seemed to be the little crybaby’s ear.

All sounds around him seemed to come to a standstill.

Chen You was still looking at the computer. “Xiao Langgou, why aren’t you moving? Run ah.”

Xiao Langgou’s tone wasn’t right. “Get out of the way, don’t block me!”

I’m not even allowed to watch? Then forget it. Chen You went back to his own computer and searched for relevant reports on Shengshi Culture.

Xiao Langgou made frequent mistakes in command in the second half, and the channel was filled with messages saying that Leaf’s boss was up to some shit and was messing with them. That it won’t do, so just let someone else take over. He became so angry that he threw away the microphone and asked another person from the union to take over.

Hearing the sound of the mouse being thrown down, Chen You curiously asked, “What’s up?”

Xiao Langgou glanced at him again and again with the corner of his eyes, but the little crybaby didn’t notice it. Luckily.

Otherwise it would be embarrassing.

He secretly glanced at the little crybaby’s exposed ears. They were small, white and quite pretty.

In the afternoon, Chen You separated from Xiao Langgou and wandered around aimlessly. He learned from the system that Sheng Qing was going to see a performance by Sheng Guang tonight.

Ai, Sheng Guang and Sheng Jing, one plays the cello and the other plays the violin, and they both play very well too.

Chen You couldn’t play anything, but he can blow air and shoot off his mouth¹Blow air and shooting off one’s mouth both used characters that could refer to playing an instrument through the mouth..

“Isn’t Sheng Qing very busy? How can he still have time to watch a performance?”

The system said, “If you participate in a competition, your Daddy will also go to watch it.”

Chen You muttered, “I have to study and complete the mission, so how can I have the time to sign up for the competition?”

When it was dark, Chen You sat at a food stall and ordered peanut beer and dozens of skewers of grilled squid. When he was halfway through his meal, the system told him that Sheng Guang had won the championship trophy.

“So what?”

The system said, “Your Daddy and your two brothers went to a high-end restaurant for dinner.”

“Okay, that’s it. I don’t want to know what happens next.” Chen You munched on the grilled squid. “Can I get drunk?”

The system said yes.

Chen You asked again, “I probably won’t say anything I shouldn’t, right?”

The system said no. “Hosts have restrictions in the mission worlds. Any content related to the mission will be banned.”

Chen You felt relieved. He opened the pull ring and drank the beer.

Having nothing to do at home, Xiao Langgou came over to help his aunt as a waiter for free. When he saw the person at one table, he was stunned for a while before laughing. “Two times in one day, when did M City become so small?”

“Don’t you have make-up lessons tonight? Why are you eating here?”

Chen You looked up when he heard the voice and almost spit out the beer in his mouth. Fck, why are you here again?!
