Chapter 119.5 – Sweet and Sour is Me (5)

Translator: Xena @dummynovels dot com

It was already rush hour so the road was a bit congested.

The journey that should have taken about thirty minutes took more than fifty minutes, which was almost twice as long.

The car stopped, Chen You waved to the uncle, and went into the building with his schoolbag on his back.

He thought it would be like those plots seen on TV, where the young master comes to the family business for the first time, and the front desk clerk is so tactless, making things difficult for him, and driving him away. Then the young master slaps them back in the face.

But there wasn’t one. Chen You went in and saw Sheng Qing’s secretary waiting there. It seemed that she had been waiting for a while.

Chen You knew her last name was Zhang, so he called her Secretary Zhang.

Secretary Zhang took Chen You to the chairman’s office. “Young Master Xia, what would you like to drink?”

Chen You took the bag off his shoulder. “Where’s my dad?”

The secretary answered, “The chairman is in a meeting.”

Seeing that she was still waiting, Chen You blurted out what he wanted to eat tonight without thinking, “Duck neck.”

Secretary, “……”

Chen You turned his head and said, “Do you have Coke?”

The secretary said, “Yes, wait a moment.”

Not long after, Chen You sat on the sofa drinking Coke with a huge bottle of it on the glass table in front of him.

He talked to the system, “Did you notice the secretary looking at me twice just now? And both times were a little weird.”

The system said, “Maybe because you’re cute.”

Chen You didn’t believe it this time. “No, I think she discovered the relationship between Sheng Qing and me.”

The system asked, “What relationship?”

Chen You answered, “It’s one where we can kiss and henghenghahei.”

System, “She’s not blind.”

Chen You was shocked. Has it become that obvious? He scanned the huge office and uttered a fit of curses. It was such a big place, but there was not even a mirror.

“Take a look at the strawberries Sheng Qing planted for me.”

“I saw.”

“How is it?”

“Exactly like strawberries.”

Chen You, “….”

Chen You ran out, intending to go into the bathroom to look in the mirror when he met the secretary.

“Young Master Xia, the chairman has ordered that you cannot go out.”

Chen You said, “I just want to go to the bathroom.”

Secretary Zhang told him, “There’s one in the office.”

Chen You went back.

He walked around the office, pushed open a door, and went in to find that it was a lounge.

There was a bed, blankets, closet, cabinet, and a bathroom.

Chen You went inside the bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror. Damn, it was not ordinary strawberries. They were mutated due to excessive injection of growth hormones. They were incredibly large and very dark in color.

He touched it with his hand. He hadn’t even noticed they were such big pieces.

I’m so glad that all the students in the class are pure and innocent. I guess they thought he was allergic and didn’t know what strawberries are.

Sigh.

Chen You looked at the teenager in the mirror and hehehe-ed several times. “If you’re not mentally retarded, then who is?”

The teenager in the mirror had a pair of big eyes full of contempt.

Chen You lay down on the bed, turned over and lay on his stomach. He fell asleep unknowingly.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen You was awakened by a heavy pressure on his back. He turned his head and asked, “Dad, why are you pressing me down?”

Sheng Qing said, “Dad likes to put pressure on you.”

Humph, I see that you also like to screw me. Chen You was being pressed down like a dead fish.

After two or three minutes, the weight on his back disappeared and the mountain moved away.

Sheng Qing loosened his tie, pulled it off and threw it on the bed. “Let’s go eat.”

Chen You was fascinated by his tie-tugging action.

So ridiculously handsome!

After a while, Sheng Qing took Chen You to a restaurant near the company. Not long after they sat down, the beauty from last time came over.

When Chen You saw the person coming, his sixth sense told him that this meal was not simple.

After some introductions, the three of them ate quietly.

Chen You cut small pieces of steak and stuffed them into his mouth, wondering what would happen.

After a while, Sheng Qing went to the bathroom and only Chen You and the beautiful woman were left at the table.

The beauty put down her knife and fork, picked up the wine glass and took a sip of red wine. “Xiao Xia, what do you think of your father?”

Chen You was startled. He asked the system, “Did Sheng Qing leave on purpose to let the beauty get information out of me?”

“Ding ding ding——”

A series of dings in his head suddenly sounded, causing Chen You to almost drop his fork. “What’s wrong with you?”

The system seemed to be frightened. “Lag.”

“How did you come up with that?”

Chen You curled his lips. “I guessed.”

What? It also takes intelligence to guess, right?

Chen You told the beautiful lady, “My Dad is very good.”

The beauty said, “Really? I think he’s a workaholic. He has no interest in anything else except work.”

Chen You expounded, “No, my Dad eats with me, buys me delicious food, listens to me sing, checks my homework, and patiently explains to me when I get the questions wrong. He never scolds me.”

He just turns on the air conditioner to freeze me.

The beauty held her chin in her hand and asked, “Do you like your Dad very much?”

Chen You answered, “Mn, I like him very much.”

He held the fork in his hand. “I never want to be separated from my Dad for the rest of my life.”

The beauty said, “When you reach your Dad’s age, he will be old.”

Chen You returned with, “I will grow old too.”

The beauty said, “When you’re old, your Dad may no longer be alive.”

Chen You: “…” Sister, we can’t continue this conversation.

The beauty didn’t intend to stop there. “Have you ever thought that you and your father can’t grow old together?”

“I haven’t.”

Chen You added, “Why should we think about tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, today? Isn’t that just making things difficult for yourself?”

The beauty was slightly stunned. “You thought of this yourself?”

Chen You replied, “Yes, when my dad gets old, I will cook his meals softer, count his black hairs, watch the sunset with him, and sing for him if he likes.”

The beauty sighed. “What a filial child.”

He didn’t know what hit the spot, but Chen You started crying.

Fortunately, Sheng Qing came over at that time, otherwise the beauty would not be able to handle it.

The meal ended early with Chen You crying.

When they returned home that night, Sheng Qing had little to say.

In the second half of the night, there was another person on Chen You’s bed. He was not thrown to the ground, but told to sleep on the other side.

From then on, Chen You slept in the same bed with Sheng Qing.

Actually, this is really not that bad.

What was worse was that Sheng Qing changed rooms late at night and took him with him.

Chen You was at a loss for words.

Time flew fast and the final exam arrived in a flash.

Chen You and Xiao Langgou were not in the same examination room, so they only ran into each other during the morning, noon and evening.

It was impossible for them not to talk all the time because they were desk mates.

But Xiao Langgou always looked at Chen You with an indescribable look. Once he tries to speak, the other party would either leave or talk to other students, making it clear that “I don’t want to listen, I don’t want to listen, I don’t want to listen.”

This made Chen You, who wanted to know about Laifu’s situation, go to the system to inquire.

After the final exam, Chen You played games crazily on the computer Sheng Qing bought for him.

The school grass’ account would sometimes come online, but he would always hide from him.

The two were on the same server yet never met each other.

There was just this phenomenon: Chen You was doing a task to collect something from the monsters. When he flew over, all the monsters there were lying dead.

Or he would go to a mission point like a village to get something, but the monsters and leaders who were of higher level than him were already lying there, dead.

He knew it was the school grass who did it.

If the person didn’t want to see him, Chen You won’t force it as it would be uncomfortable to play games together.

In July, the final exam results came out and Chen You ranked 21st in his grade.

When he learned the news, Sheng Qing had already bought the cellphone.

He simply liked how straightforward it was.

Chen You held the latest model of cellphone and praised Sheng Qing like a sunflower in his heart.

Aiya, his struggle was worth it.

“It turns out I have so much potential.”

Chen You boasted to the system, “Do you think if I work harder, I can become the top scorer in liberal arts in next year’s college entrance examination?”

The System replied, “You can pray. Then on the day of the exam, you will be the only one to enter the examination room. You’ll be the top scorer, as well as second and third place.”

Chen You, “…”

Sheng Qing poured a glass of water and drank. “In seventeen days, it will be your eighteenth birthday.”

Chen You put on a brave face and said, “Yes.”

Sheng Qing stroked his hair and said, “Dad has decided what to give you.”

No need, really no need. I don’t celebrate birthdays. Chen You was sitting in a room with the air-conditioner at a moderate temperature, but he would shiver occasionally, which scared him a lot.

The 21st was the original’s 18th birthday. Sheng Qing packed a few sets of clothes and daily necessities then took Chen You out to the sea.

After arriving at the dock, Chen You looked at the yacht in front of him as the sea breeze blew. He felt that he would become a lump of rotten cabbage on that ship.

By the time he was ashore, he was no longer himself.

Sheng Qing discussed with the staff on the other end before pulling Chen You up.

Before Chen You had the chance to see how luxurious the inside of the yacht was, Sheng Qing was already feeding him a bottle of yogurt.

The kind that was suitable for family.

It was sour and sweet, and quite tasty.

It was probably the same as wine. The longer it was stored, the better it became.

Chen You drank till he was bursting. He shook his head and was about to say he couldn’t drink any more, but when he opened his mouth, he threw up a lot.

Sheng Qing used a tissue to wipe Chen You’s mouth and fed him another big mouthful.

Chen You died of fullness.
