Chapter 60.2 – An Qiao E’s Determination

Fu Wu Tian quickly wrote up a letter, and this time Ge Qian An personally went to deliver the letter back to Jun Zi City.

The content of the letter was mainly to have Fu lao wang ye ask the Chong Ming Emperor on his behalf to take the initiative to check and control the disaster in the Chang Province.

The New Years have just passed, but the people of Chang Province were all migrating away. It’s been fours years since the first occurrence of natural disasters in Chang Province. Every year, the people would migrate away. This year, the phenomenon was especially serious. If things continued like this, Chang Province may soon become uninhabited.

Although the Chong Ming Emperor was not a good emperor, he also knew that things could not go on like this. He has long wanted to send someone to investigate, but he has not been able to find a suitable candidate.

Ge Qian An soon arrived at Jun Zi City with Fu Wu Tian’s letter.

In the study

Wang fei, this prince took a great risk for you.” Fu Wu Tian turned his head and went to An Zi Ran to sing his own merits, as if there was such a thing.

An Zi Ran did not even raise his head. “En*. You have worked hard.”

[*T/N: Sound of acknowledgement indicating approval]

Fu Wu Tian leaned over towards him. When he exhaled, his breath brushed against the other’s forehead. “Wang fei, go to bed a little earlier tonight.” The night before, An Zi Ran stayed up really late to draft up his plans. As a result, he fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

The brush in An Zi Ran’s hand stopped at that moment. He leaned back and then lifted his head. The distance between their faces was very close. After getting used to it, he no longer felt uncomfortable now. This was not a good phenomenon!

“I’ve finished drawing up the plan. Take a look.”

An Zi Ran passed over three sheets of paper that were covered with writing.

Fu Wu Tian took a look. “Wow, wang fei’s handwriting is very good.”

An Zi Ran’s facial nerves became paralyzed. “…I’m showing you the plan, not my handwriting.”

It’s not as if An Zi Ran was not aware. Fu Wu Tian’s handwriting was much better than his. If they were to compare handwritings, it would be enough to make him feel ashamed of his inferiority, because Fu Wu Tian’s handwriting was indeed really good. Even simple fonts were written with sharpness and charm. Each stroke, each line was penned with confident ease. It is said that the handwriting reflected the writer. This saying was indeed true!

Fu Wu Tian finally looked at his plan.

An Zi Ran thought that he would take some time to look it over, so he placed down the brush and reached back to rub at his tired neck. Then he stood up, prepared to call out to Steward Su. But when he looked up he saw that Fu Wu Tian was looking straight at him.

“What are you looking at me for?”

Fu Wu Tian waved the papers in his hand. “I finished.”

An Zi Ran blinked. “So fast?”

There was a hint of a smile in Fu Wu Tian’s eyes as he looked at him. “Wang fei, this prince can read ten lines with one look.”

An Zi Ran asked suspiciously, “Then do you have an eidetic memory?”

Fu Wu Tian said, “At the moment, I have not reached that state yet.”

An Zi Ran was disappointed.

“But there are not many…”

An Zi Ran said, “…Can you not finish it all at once?”

Fu Wu Tian’s mouth quirked up. “Since it is wang fei’s request then this prince will comply from now on.”

An Zi Ran didn’t want to talk to him anymore. Fu Wu Tian could always change the topic easily. In the past, if someone told him that he would live with another man like this one day, he would have never believed it. He would even think that the other person must be burning a fever.

“After looking over my plan, do you have any thoughts on it?”

The plan was written as a countermeasure for the disaster situation in Chang Province. Although it has not happened yet, this kind of thing had to be prevented in advance to see the effect. Furthermore, he understood how high the risk was that Fu Wu Tian took.

An Zi Ran did not understand the situation of the imperial family, but he has heard of the saying ‘gong gao zhen zhu,’ which meant that if a subordinate’s achievements were too great it would shake the master. Fu Wu Tian’s merits were too great, and he also held a five hundred thousand strong army in Da Ya, even though he was the nephew of the Chong Ming Emperor. However, he still made the emperor afraid.

This time Fu Wu Tian calmed the war at the border and came back with a triumphant return. He was expected to stay in Jun Zi City for a long time. His power was too great. On the surface, the Chong Ming Emperor expressed great appreciation for his nephew, but in actuality, he was already thinking up ways to get back the five hundred thousand troops from his hands.

The disaster in Chang Province was a turning point.

If Fu Wu TIan could not solve the problem in Chang Province, then the Chong Ming Emperor would have an excuse to recover the five hundred thousand troops under his command.

Therefore, the emperor will certainly agree.

“This prince believes in wang fei. We will just do as you say.”

Fu Wu Tian chose to believe him without hesitation.

Upon hearing this sentence, An Zi Ran’s face turned wooden. He looked at Fu Wu Tian for a long while in silence. Then he turned and walked out of the study room. Fu Wu Tian stared at his back. A strange light flashed through his eyes. Then he followed An Zi Ran out of the room.

FOD: Xue Zi Xuan 3.3

Chapter 3.3 – Back to the Human World

His mother who had been tortured by her prison life until she did not even seem like a human anymore, was at this moment quickly approaching him, wearing an expensive customized suit, her well-maintained face not having a trace of wrinkles. She was still that madam of high society, the world-renowned violinist, not the one everyone called a murderer.

Suddenly meeting each other, while Xue Zi Xuan felt astonished, at the same time, he also felt a deep loathing. He gave up struggling, and looked at her with an indifferent gaze, the tears in his eyes instantly evaporating.

The security guard saw the well-dressed Xue Li Dan Ni, with a bunch of assistants behind her holding her luggage, realized that this person had a strong background and immediately let go of the young man before stepping back.

“No patients have run out of the mental health department. You can check with the other departments.” The walkie talkie timely sent a reply, which made Xue Li Dan Ni’s face darken. But she didn’t say anything, just reached out her hand to support her son who was standing shakily.

Xue Zi Xuan muscles tightened, his heart fiercely resisting, but he did not show it. He looked at his mother for a while, before noticing the coldness of his feet, finally bursting out into cold laughter. This sad appearance, how could his Xiao Yi see this? I have waited for hundreds of thousands of years, one moment is nothing.

He extracted his arm out of Xue Li Dan Ni’s embrace and walked towards the elevator. When the door opened, Fu Bo and Xue Jing Yi ran out from inside and saw him, their faces lighting up in surprise.

“Young Master, quickly put on your shoes.” Fu Bo said as he placed the slippers on the floor.

“Brother, are you all right?” Xue Jing Yi anxiously asked.

Xue Zi Xuan was completely not in the mood to talk to them, in fact, he did not want to pay attention to anyone in the Xue family. He couldn’t forget the sins that each of them had committed, and couldn’t forget how they had laid the stage for the murder of his beloved. If he couldn’t even forgive himself, how could he possibly forgive them? No, even in death he would not forgive.

He put on his shoes and walked into the elevator silently. His attitude of seeing but not seeing made Fu bo and Xue Jing Yi feel very embarrassed yet worried. Xue Li Dan Ni was also very worried when she got to the top floor, she immediately asked the doctor to give her son a consultation, the result was naturally being no problem.

“The EEG and ECG scans have come out, everything is normal. If you are not at ease, you can let him stay for a period of time so we can observe him,” the head doctor recommended.

Xue Li Dan Ni was just about to agree when Xue Zi Xuan vetoed in a cold voice: “No, immediately help me complete the procedures for discharge.” When he said this, he looked down at his watch and confirmed that at this time, Xiao Yi had been taken in by the Xue family. His mind was blank, without the memory of this world, but had the youth’s every move, every smile, engraved into his bones.

If he had a soul, then it was also definitely written into the deepest part of his soul. He didn’t know if this world was real, but as long as there was him in this world, whether it was real or illusory, was there any difference?

“Why don’t you stay a bit longer? I have already helped you to push back your performance half a month later. Everything is insignificant, only your health is the most important.” Xue Li Dan Ni naggingly dissuaded.

“Exactly Brother, look at me, I can’t do anything I want, just because my health is not good. Do you really want to be like me?” Xue Jing Yi mockingly laughed at herself.

Xue Zi Xuan was unmoved. He opened the closet and packed his bags and seemingly unintentionally asked: “Xiao Yi*? Where is he?”

[*T/N: Xiao Yi – Jing Yi and Huang Yi’s nickname sound the same, so Xue Li Dan Ni thought XZX was talking about XJY]

“Isn’t Xiao Yi just here, are you silly? Doctor, does my son really have no problems?” Xue Li Dan Ni mistakenly thought that the “Xiao Yi” her son was referring to was her daughter Xue Jing Yi, originally she was not at ease, now she was even more anxious. The person was right in front of his eyes, yet Xue Zi Xuan still asked for her, after fainting, did he damage his brains? The doctor shrugged and said that he did not know. He said a few words and left in a hurry.

“Brother, I am here. When you were in a coma, I was always accompanying you.” Xue Jing Yi tried to hide her shyness and took the initiative to take her brother’s arm. Knowing that she was not the biological daughter of her parents, her inner joy was far more than her fear. Without a blood relationship, she would be able to openly be with her brother, these tumultuous feelings would finally be able to be at peace.

The arm that she had touched felt like it had been wrapped around by a snake, cold and disgusting. Xue Zi Xuan immediately pushed her away, grabbed his baggage and backed away, before narrowing his eyes and said: “I am talking about Huang Yi, where is he?”

Chapter 3.2 – Back to the Human World

Fu Bo immediately turned off the fire, rushed out from the kitchen, and slammed the emergency button next to the bed. The doctors and nurses quickly rushed inside in less than five seconds and were just preparing for an emergency rescue when the various instruments that kept screaming were instantly quieted. At the same time, the beautiful youth lying on the bed slowly opened his eyes.

He stared blankly at the white ceiling for a while. Only when he heard the doctor’s anxious call, did he slowly turned his head and looked at his right hand which was held by Xue Jing Yi. The blurry eyes suddenly sharpened, and the look in his eyes was so cold and violent that Xue Jing Yi nearly screamed.

“Why are you here?” Xue Zi Xuan had not figured out the situation yet, but he immediately retracted his hand reflexively. The list of people he wanted to see after he woke up definitely did not include Xue Jing Yi; no, he did not want to see anyone, he just wanted to find Xiao Yi, find his beloved. Why even after he died, these people still did not let him be at peace? He turned away and saw Fu Bo, who stood outside the crowd of people, causing a few points of disgust to be added to his gaze.

Xue Jing Yi was frightened still by his tone of hatred and rejection. She clutched her chest and took two steps back, unconsciously shaking her head. Her brother seemed to have completely changed in one day; changed so much that she didn’t even recognize him.

Several doctors surrounded the hospital bed, carrying out various examinations on him. One of them opened the eyelids of Xue Zi Xuan, the slight sharp pain made his entire body stiffen. He stared at them, his expression gradually turning from confusion to doubt, then also to disbelief and fear.

“I’m fine, all of you go out,” he muttered huskily, his attitude firm.

The indicators returned to normal; the doctors saw that Xue Zi Xuan’s mood was wrong, so they decided to wait for him to calm down before sending him to the medical examination department for further examination, and left one by one.

Xue Zi Xuan waited for them to leave first then immediately sat up and checked his palm. No, there was nothing on his white palm, the scar that made him incomparably grateful had completely disappeared. Or maybe, it had not appeared yet.

Finally realizing his situation, even if it was just an imaginary dream that he would awaken from any time now, it was enough to make Xue Zi Xuan tear up in happiness. He jumped out of his bed, barefoot, wearing hospital pajamas, and rushed out.

“Young Master, where are you going? You forgot to wear your shoes. The floor is cold.” Fu Bo grabbed a pair of slippers and chased after him.

Only then did Xue Jing Yi recover from her shock, and with a white face quickly followed behind. In her mind, she repeatedly echoed the question when her brother was awake – how are you here? That tone held no expectation, happiness, or affection, but only increasing disgust, as if looking at her one second more was a form of unbearable torture.

Because her body was weak, she often fell ill, causing the entire family to suffer with her. From young, she had practiced the ability of observing people, striving to make herself more sensible and intimate, to avoid being rejected by them. However, the more serious her illness was, the more her family showered her with love, so her feeling of anxiety slowly diminished. Especially her brother, who was indifferent and cold to others, yet gentle and considerate to her, made her feel extremely proud of herself.

But just now, the look her brother gave her was hidden with so much hatred. Why? Exactly what did I do wrong? The problem lingered in her mind, making Xue Jing Yi especially alarmed.

Xue Zi Xuan ran across the hallway, down the staircase, and ran from the nineteenth floor all the way down to the big lobby in the hospital. His crazy expressions and unpredictable manner attracted many people’s attention, causing them to stop and gawk at him. The security guards realized that the situation was off, and quickly went up to stop him, repeatedly using their walkie talkies to ask the mental health department on the sixteenth floor if a patient had run out.

Xue Zi Xuan struggled violently, but was eventually subdued by the combined force of the two people.

“What are both of you doing? Let go of him!” Xue Li Dan Ni, who had rushed back to the country and did not even had time to put down her suitcase, appeared in the hall, and at first glance saw her son, who was surrounded by a crowd of people, cutting a very sorry figure.

His hair was messed up, his clothes torn; he had a crazed expression, both his ink black eyes were filled with tears as if they would fall any time now. She could hardly believe that this was her son, the one who exuded a bright aura everywhere he went. He was so agitated, so violent, his teeth tightly clenched, and even from far away, she could see the bulging blue veins on his forehead.

“Mother?” Hearing the familiar voice, Xue Zi Xuan quieted down, turning his head to look at her, his expression becoming more and more confused. Supposedly dead people have appeared in front of him one by one, making him even more confident that his judgment was right. He had returned, had returned to the past when everything had not happened yet.

FOD: Xue Zi Xuan 3.1

Translated by: Moonlightfrost10

Chapter 3.1 – Back to the Human World

In the perfect dream space, Xue Zi Xuan slowly opened his eyes. He had initially thought that he would leave the human world forever, but he didn’t know why instead he arrived in a boundless space. Here hung countless bright stars, the densely packed lights formed a wide silver river flowing below his feet, while he stood rising and sinking, searching in the empty wide space.

In the beginning, he felt that this place was most likely the nai he bridge* or the nether world, the place where people went to after death. So he patiently waited, waiting for the person who left before him to come here, to see him one more time. Even if no words were exchanged, even if it was just the brushing past of shoulders, as long as he could look at him from afar, it was already enough to comfort Xue Zi Xuan’s heart that was so hopeless it broke.

[*T/N: nai he bridge – the bridge that souls cross after death to the underworld]

Time slipped through like sand, the years quietly flew by, perhaps he had waited for a few decades, a few centuries or even tens of thousands of years, but in the end, he still hadn’t been able to meet him. His anticipation gradually turned into despair, until his heart turned to dust. Turns out the cruelest curse was not being hated by your most beloved person but rather the heavens not even giving you the chance to see him once more.

Even if Xue Zi Xuan was unable to receive his forgiveness for the rest of his life, it was still better than eternal separation. Xue Zi Xuan slowly started to go crazy, trying to break free of the shackles of the empty void and run to the world where his beloved was. While he repeatedly thrashed and struggled, he suddenly had a faint, mysterious epiphany. This place was not the nether world as he imagined, but instead a separate space.

The seemingly unleading feeling in his mind told him that gods exist in this world, and he was a god. He frantically absorbed power from the broken star galaxies, and finally one day, the space began to shake, tear, and collapse.

Xue Zi Xuan wrapped all his strength around his body, trying to resist the forces of attraction caused by the collapse of space. One by one, he saw the stars around him break into powder, the broad galaxies disappeared into a crack in space, and a powerful force enveloped the void space. It was the Lord God, who had summoned his creations into their most primitive form for his use.

Thus the unbroken stars and galaxies instantly melted into a stream of data consisting of 0’s and 1’s and rushed to the Lord God.

Xue Zi Xuan was also summoned by the Lord God, it hoped that he would become the most primitive form to feed himself. Only until then did he suddenly realize that perhaps this place was not a different space, but a virtual world. He was not some high-level creature with a soul, but a series of simple data.

He was not stupid, on the contrary, he was extremely clever. When the virtual space turned into a series of data streams, he had realized that the Lord God was malfunctioning. It was under attack and on the verge of destruction, as such, it needed a huge amount of energy for support. If the Lord God was destroyed, could he break free and travel to other worlds?

Xue Zi Xuan did not know what the future was like, he only knew that he definitely had to leave, definitely had to find his beloved, even if he died, he had to die in the same world as him. No matter what, whether he had a soul, whether he was alive, as long as the person he loved had once truly existed, then he would also have existed.

Because of that person, he achieved eternal existence. This conviction made him become incomparably strong, unexpectedly, he broke free of the unscrupulous plunder of the Lord God. In a split second, the Lord God disappeared, and a soft and warm force enveloped the space, allowing the broken stars to join back, and revived the lost galaxies.

Xue Zi Xuan couldn’t explain why, but when this force touched his body, he shed tears. Just like being in your beloved’s embrace, like returning to every beautiful moment spent with him, strongly sucking him in.

*

Xue Rui had something to do at work, and left first, leaving Fu Bo and Xue Jing Yi to look after his son in the hospital. His ward was a deluxe suite, including a bedroom, living room, kitchen, washroom, even a spacious balcony. Fu Bo was making porridge in the kitchen, while Xue Jing Yi was sitting on the bedside, eyes staring focusedly at her brother; he had already been in a coma for a day and night.

Suddenly, the heart monitor released a short “beep beep” sound, breaking the moment of silence.

“Fu Bo, it’s not good, go call a doctor!” Xue Jing Yi shouted like she had lost her soul.

FOD: Xue Zi Xuan 2.5

Edit: For some reason there are some really angry people who think this is fanfiction instead of a translation. There is a link to the Chinese raws in the title page… 😓(─.─||)

This is a side story that Feng Liu Shu Dai, the original author, wrote because of how popular Xue Zi Xuan’s character was in the main story. This is the author’s summary of the side story [translated]:

“Don’t know if all of you still remember or not, in Quickly Wear the Face of the Devil’s ending, Zhou Yun Sheng repaired and saved the database that was destroyed by the Lord God. This story happens in the virtual world re-built by Zhou Yun Sheng. Xue Zi Xuan vs villain Zhou Yun Sheng can be seen as a new story, a villain counterattack x slag gong rebirth text, a clear-cut HE. And what Xue Zi Xuan loves is Zhou Yun Sheng the person, the soul, and has nothing to do with whether he can play the piano or not.” [Summary also available on the title page.]

Aw, what the heck, here’s the Chinese text too. Copied and pasted, by the way:
《薛子軒》的掃雷試閱:不知道大家還記不記得,打臉狂魔結局時,
周周把主神摧毀的數據庫修復並保存了,
故事就發生在周周重新建立的虛擬世界裡。
薛子軒vs反派周周,可以當做一個新的故事來看,反派逆襲渣攻重生文,爽文he。
以及薛子軒愛的是周周這個人,這個靈魂,跟他會不會彈鋼琴完全沒有任何關系。

Chapter 2.5 – Breeding Hate

“If you touch the piano again, I will break your hands.” With that sentence, Xue Zi Xuan walked away.

“Why?” Zhou Yun Sheng gritted his teeth and asked. His ten fingers were uncontrollably trembling because of the pain.

“The sound of your piano is like the walking dead with no soul.” When he said this sentence, the loathing was clear in his tone of voice.
Support the translator. Read this on vmnovels(.)com
The door of the room slammed with a bang, and silence rang loud in the piano room. Zhou Yun Sheng stood up and furrowed his eyebrows at his red and swollen fingers. His face was pale and white.

Xue Jing Yi, who was crackling with anger before, let out a silver bell-like laugh. Her slightly curved eyes were full of joy. She said slowly, “I remember warning you before, don’t enter the piano room, otherwise I’ll have Mom and Dad send you away. But forget it. Seeing that my brother has taught you a lesion, I’ll forgive you this time. There is no soul? Like the walking dead? How do you do it? That is the worst evaluation I have ever heard.”

She was very happy. All of her restless fears were relieved when she saw her brother almost crushing the youth’s phalanges. It was as if she had been waiting for this scene for a long time. Genius? Humph.

Zhou Yun Sheng did not respond to her satire and left in a hurry. Going back to his room, he heard the system announcing the completion of his task, but this did not extinguish the anger in his heart. Instead, he let out a fierce laugh.

“You predicted this situation long ago, isn’t that right? I am the villain. My role is to be repeatedly stuck down by the protagonist? F*ck. In what way was my piano playing bad?” He turned on the computer and used the software to play Early Morning. Resisting the pain of his fingers he said, “Look at this fingering technique, look at the pitch, look at the rhythm. This is perfection. This is the height of technical skills. It is superb! Where is it not good? What are you talking about? There is no soul? Walking dead? Tch. You don’t even understand perfection when you hear it!”
Translations by Vanilla Muse
It was impossible for the system to give any response. Zhou Yun Sheng cursed for a while and then calmed down. He was preparing to sleep when Fu Bo pushed open his door with a taut face.

“I heard that you broke into the piano room today and angered the young master?” He was full of disdain and disgust, and warned coldly, “You can go anywhere in this house, but you can’t enter the piano room. If you commit another blunder, I will tell the mister and missus, and have you sent back to the countryside.”

This one and that one, they’re all using that sentence to threaten me. If you can then send me back now. That is exactly what this lao zi* wants! But do you dare? If you don’t dare then stop grumbling like a motherf*cker! Zhou Yun Sheng sneered in his heart. But he assumed a timid expression on his face, shrinking in the corner of the bed and did not dare to move, as if he was really scared.

[*Muse: 老子 lao zi: An exalted way of referring to oneself. “I, your father” (said in anger or out of contempt)]

Comparing the conditions of the Xue family and Xiao Liu Village, one was like the sky and the other was like the earth. Even living as a dog in the Xue family was better than living in Xiao Liu Village. Fu Bo used his own prejudices to measure the other, and thought that the youth must be reluctant to leave. Seeing that he knew his place and was afraid, he threw a medicine box over. “Tend to yourself, I don’t have time.”

Zhou Yun Sheng nodded. He took out the ointment and applied it on his red and swollen fingers. The knuckles could still move. It seemed to not be broken, but he didn’t know if the bones were cracked. Unless the Xue family was willing to take him to the hospital to have an X-ray done. But he already knew that it was impossible. Never mind breaking ten fingers, even if his limbs were wasted, as long as the heart was whole and hale, they would not care.
Support the translator. Read this on vmnovels(.)com
Abnormal! Bastards! He silently cursed Xue Zi Xuan in his heart hundreds of times, and then he cursed the Xue family and their ancestors.

From that day on, Fu Bo dispatched the assistant to follow Zhou Yun Sheng and then reported his every move to Xue Rui. Unauthorized touch of the piano made the Xue family resentful of him. Xue Li Dan Ni strictly forbade her daughter from contacting the teenager, saying that he was undisciplined, and that his hands and feet were dirty*.

[*Muse: 手脚不干净: light-fingered / prone to stealing]

Of course, those were just excuses. What she was worried about was that her daughter would cultivate positive feelings with her twin brother after spending days and nights together. In the future, his inexplicable disappearance would provoke her daughter to be sad. If her daughter had not eavesdropped on her husband’s conversation and demanded that her brother be brought back to the manor to be cared for, then they were originally planning to put him under house arrest some place else, and then bring him back only when it was time for the operation.

Xue Jing Yi was resistant on the surface, pretending to be protecting her brother, but she was secretly happy on the inside. She felt that she had found a way to drive the boy out of the family. She could make her parents and brother hate him more and more, until they couldn’t bear him anymore. As for how to go about doing that, she didn’t yet have a clue.

Zhou Yun Sheng clearly felt the Xue family’s attitude towards him change. They regarded him as a vessel, as a moving heart, as a white lab rat, just not as human. Xue Zi Xuan didn’t even want to eat at the same table with him, so they had Fu Bo send his meals to his room.
Translations by Vanilla Muse
His hair was growing longer and longer. His clothes were getting more and more feminine. And his long-term house arrest had caused his skin to become morbidly pale. He was practically like a second Xue Jing Yi. The family doctor began to visit the Xue manor frequently, and used a combination of Chinese and Western medicine to regulate Xue Jing Yi’s body.

The brother and sister pair was of the Mumbai blood type. In the whole of China, only forty people have the same blood type. As one could well imagine, it was very hard to find a suitable heart donor. Because of the difficulty of the task, Xue Li Dan Ni agreed with her husband to look in the northwest for their daughter’s relatives. As expected, all of her immediate family members were already dead. There was only one twin brother remaining in the world.

A twin brother, orphan, same blood type, a healthy heart, humble origins… Every label indicated a possibility of their daughter’s full recovery. The dawn of hope suddenly appeared, so how could the couple be willing to miss this chance. Naturally they had him brought back and actively nursed their daughter’s body. To prevent having more nightmares in a long night*, it was better to take this heart out as soon as possible.

[*Muse: 夜长梦多 “long night, more dreams” means the longer they drag things out, the more problems are likely to crop up in the interval]

Likewise, Zhou Yun Sheng also received a daily checkup, to ensure that his body was in good health. Seeing the crude way he wrapped his fingers, the family doctor patiently helped him unravel the bandages and re-bandage his fingers, but he did not mention performing an x-ray. As long as there was no problem with the heart then it didn’t matter what happened to his hands and feet. Anyways, he was going to die soon.

Xue Zi Xuan was very busy recently, often not returning home. In addition, the influx of strangers coming and going from his house made him extremely uncomfortable, thus another reason for his absence from the house. Half a month later there was a very important musical performance, so he was rehearsing with the orchestra’s colleagues.

“OK, there is no problem this time. Try not to use the metronome next time.” The conductor waved his hand and disbanded the orchestra members.

Xue Zi Xuan stood up from the piano, took two steps, and suddenly fainted onto the floor.

“Ah, this is not good, Mr. Xue fainted. Quickly, quickly, dial 120.” The people rushed to crowd around him, but no one dared to touch him. Then they all frantically dialed the emergency number one after the other.

The Xue family received the news that Xue Zi Xuan had fallen into a coma for two hours and had yet to show any signs of waking. The doctor did a thorough examination on him and found no abnormalities. He had to stay in the hospital for observation.

Xue Li Dan Ni was out of the country. Xue Rui hastily rushed home to pack some clothes and daily necessities. When he talked to Fu Bo, he forgot to suppress his voice, so his daughter overheard. Xue Jing Yi almost fainted, crying and shouting to go to the hospital together.
Support the translator. Read this on vmnovels(.)com
Zhou Yun Sheng’s fingers were still swollen. He couldn’t play games and he couldn’t program. So he pulled up a movie to watch. Just as he was getting engrossed in the plot, he heard the ruckus from downstairs. He didn’t want to bother with it at first, but then he heard Xue Jing Yi’s miserable cries and opened the door to take a look with a heart full of schadenfreude.

“Uncle Xue, what happened?” He stood at the mouth of the stairs and wore a troubled look.

“Nothing much. Return to your room, ba.” Xue Rui forced a smile. Xue Jing Yi also stopped crying noisily and silently wiped her tears.

Zhou Yun Sheng tactfully returned to the room. He stood by the door and eavesdropped for a while, upon which he learned that Xue Zu Xuan was in a coma and lying in the hospital.

“F*cking bastard. Serves you right.” He narrowed his eyes and smiled darkly.

Chapter 1.6 – A Sudden Visit

Up until now, none of the people that he had seen so far had sincerely welcomed him. Xue Li Dan Ni probably just thought that he was a country bumpkin, and didn’t bother at all disguising the calculations in her eyes. And his biological twin sister, Xue Jing Yi, inexplicably hated him. On the contrary, Xue Zi Xuan was neither hot nor cold, near nor far, his attitude of merely taking it that Zhou Yun Sheng didn’t exist made him feel more comfortable.

What did you take me for? A fool? Not even willing to hide your many suspicious actions*? He picked up a handful of cold water and poured it on his face, casually recalling every detail that happened when they met.

[*T/N: suspicious actions – 猫腻 fishy occurrences]

Forgot to mention, not only did Zhou Yun Sheng have high intelligence, but he also had a photographic memory, as long as he closed his eyes, everything that happened in the living room would come to mind clearly, and not even a small detail would be missed. Skipping over Xue Li Dan Ni and Xue Zi Xuan, Xue Jing Yi was a little strange. Her lips were white, her nails slightly purple, her breathing was short, and she seemed very weak. A young woman and the housekeeper stood at the door of the living room and constantly kept an eye on her situation as if worried about her. A medical kit was placed on the antique shelf not far away, within arms reach.

From this, he could tell that there was definitely something wrong with her body. Leukemia? Heart disease? Or something else? This just so happened to explain why the Xue family brought him to the capital city in such a hurry, he really did have something they needed, or more accurately, organs.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yun Sheng smiled coldly. Having seen too many evil plots and internal strife, he was accustomed to using the most sinister angles to guess other’s intentions, and reality has proven, that he was always right.

What’s more, now he has a villain system, the risk factor was multiplied by many more times, even if trouble did not find him, he would have to take the initiative to find trouble. Providing organs for his twin sister, although this type of scenario was full of dog blood*, but the chances of such an occurrence were as high as seventy or eighty percent.

[*T/N: dog blood – slang for cliché and overly dramatic]

The question now was, what did they need from him? Bone marrow? Kidney? Liver? Or his heart? The first few could still be negotiated, the latter however, was his life. Zhou Yun Sheng’s face turned dark, his gaze cold, already realizing exactly what kind of hell* he was in.

[*T/N: hell – more specifically 修罗场, 修罗 is Asura, but the entire thing means something like a vicious battlefield or place where you fight for your life (typically alone)]

He stared at the system on his wrist, he really wanted to ruin this thing, and just let everyone die together. A line of words was displayed on the screen, which was the previously released task, as long as he looked down he could see it. It reminded him not to think about escaping, otherwise, his only end was to be obliterated, his soul crushed.

One day, I want the Lord God to personally experience the taste of being killed. He squinted his eyes and sneered, ripping off the towel on the washstand and slowly walked out of the door.

The housekeeper saw that he was clean and nodded. “Go on, everyone is waiting for you to eat, and the master is back. One thing you must heed, and that is the young master has very serious OCD, so it’s best for you to pay attention to your appearance, what you have worn today, you can’t wear again tomorrow. The most important thing is, don’t touch the young master randomly, he can’t stand it.”

“But my sister held him and he didn’t react at all,” Zhou Yun Sheng said with grievance.

“You are not the same as the young lady.” But where it was different, Fu Bo did not say. He was too impatient to bother with a dying person, and even more would not give any extra sympathy.

Yes, I am the mud on the ground, Xue Jing Yi is the clouds in the sky. The clouds are always pure and beautiful, not to be dirtied, but the mud is to be trampled on by others. If I can resist this system one day, I will definitely make sure that there will be a day when I will make you taste the taste of being trampled on at other’s pleasure. Zhou Yun Sheng lowered his head and used his thick bangs to cover the killing intent in his eyes.

The housekeeper took him to the dining room; a middle-aged man with a rich appearance was already seated in the main position, obviously the head of the Xue family. He had just come back, the jacket of his suit was hung on the back of his chair, the sleeves of his shirt were rolled up halfway, his hair was slightly messy, and his kind smile and informal manner were completely different from the other three proud and rigid members of the Xue family, easily attracting other’s good feelings.

“This is Xiao Yi? You and Jing Yi really look alike. And even though the two of you lived so far apart, yet your names have similar pronunciation, it is indeed fate. Come come, have a seat. I’m Xue Rui, Jing Yi’s adoptive father, you can call me Uncle Xue in the future. Don’t be so reserved, take this place as your own home, whatever you want to eat, eat, look you’re so skinny, from now on you need to properly nourish yourself.” While speaking, he pulled the boy to the empty chair by his side, frequently putting food into his bowl, his warm demeanor really made people feel quite welcomed.

If the other three members of the Xue family were like the unattainable Tian Shan Mountain Snow Lotus, then Xue Rui was the smiling Buddha who was friendly and approachable. After being schemed against, and yet couldn’t receive good attitude, Zhou Yun Sheng heart after all was choked with resentment, only after seeing Xue Rui that his heart returned to normal.

He smiled awkwardly, and quickly called Xue Rui uncle, before gulping down his food.

Chapter 1.5 – A Sudden Visit

They were clearly non-identical twins, but the two of them looked 80-90% the same, only their eyes and eyebrows were slightly different. The young girl’s eyebrows were thin and slightly curved, looking very delicate, while her eyes were monolid phoenix eyes, seeming rather restrained. However, the youth’s eyebrows were straight like swords and full of energy, his pair of peach blossom eyes seemed to reflect the gleaming waves in the sunlight, capturing one’s heart, no matter how much it was hidden, it still couldn’t cover up its splendor.

However, the two red circles on his cheeks and his coarse yellow skin instantly eclipsed the youth’s exquisite and perfect appearance, and his stiff gestures made him seem even more out of place.

The girl blankly looked at him for a while, although she tried to cover it up, but her expression of excitement faded a lot, and her eyes seemed to contain faint disgust and hate. When she heard that her twin brother had come home, she had originally really looked forward to it, however, when she first looked at him, somehow she suddenly felt very scared, very fearful, but even more gushes of hate rushed into her heart, nearly making her lose her composure.

She forcefully held on to her brother’s arm, like the hold of a drowning man holding on to a piece of driftwood. A thought came to her mind inexplicably, telling her that this person might take away everything she had, her family, friends, lover, and even her life.

Drive him away! Hurry up and drive him away! She screamed wildly in her heart, but she also knew that this emotion came too strangely, so she still repressed it. She thought it was well concealed, but the handsome man had already sensed her uneasiness, reaching out to gently pat her thin shoulders.

Zhou Yun Sheng noticed her fear and hatred towards him at first glance and started secretly pondering about it.

The atmosphere in the living room became awkward, but just at that moment, a middle-aged woman in traditional Chinese clothing walked down the spiral staircase and said softly, “This is the brother of Jing Yi? You look really alike.”

“Hello, I am Huang Yi.” Zhou Yun Sheng quietly introduced himself.

“Sit down.” The woman walked into the living room, kissed the girl’s cheek, wanted to kiss the man, but was avoided by the other. She could only sadly shrug her shoulders before asking the housekeeper to serve the tea.

“I am Xue Li Dan Ni, the hostess of this family, you can call me Auntie Xue. This is Xue Jing Yi. From her looks, you can probably tell that she is your sister. Right, who was born first?” The woman personally pours tea for the boy, however her seemingly enthusiastic move hid a lot of carelessness. Her education was such that no matter who she was facing, or no matter how disdainful she was, she would not be impolite.

“I am also not sure, but I really want to have a younger sister, I will definitely take good care of her.” Zhou Yun Sheng forcefully turned his face away, performing the part of a lonely boy who longed for his loved ones beautifully.

“Alright, you will be the elder brother, and Jing Yi will be the younger sister.” The woman covered her mouth and laughed, pointing to the handsome man to continue the introduction. “This is Xue Zi Xuan, my son, you can call him ‘ge ge.’ We heard that you have no relatives, so we plan to adopt you. Will you stay with Jing Yi as a companion? She missed you a lot.”

Zhou Yun Sheng bowed his head and said nothing for a long time. Xiao Liu Village lacked water, and he was unable to bathe often, what more a hairdresser to tidy his hair. If anyone felt that their hair was in the way, they would use a scissors to randomly cut it, so not only was his hair messy, but also neither long or short, tightly concealing his head, causing no expression to be seen.

The woman had prepared to sit next to him, sincerely persuading him to stay, but he suddenly looked up, revealing a pair of red, tearful eyes.

“Thank you, Auntie Xue. I, I thought I had no more relatives left, that I would be alone in the future. Now I suddenly have a sister, a family, I’m really very happy. Thank you, you are all good people…” He started whimpering, causing it to be difficult to continue, so he lowered his head again to cover his lost composure.

Xue Li Dan Ni had long guessed the reaction of the youth, but she was too lazy to waste her feelings to comfort him, and gave the housekeeper a look. The housekeeper walked forward before taking the teenager back to his room to wash his face.

Xue Jing Yi and Xue Zi Xuan did not say a word of welcome from beginning to the end. The former was struggling inside while the latter coldly looked on. After the youth left, Xue Jing Yi screamed: “Mom, I didn’t expect my brother to be like this, I really can’t accept him now, I am not prepared to recognize him yet. For the past ten years, I always thought that I was your biological daughter. Mom, I’m very depressed, very scared.” So can you send him away? But in the end, she still resisted saying the last sentence, not wanting her adoptive parents and brother to think that she was a person who disregards familial love.

“Jing Yi, we brought him home for your own good, you must not let your imagination run wild. Whether or not you are my biological daughter doesn’t matter, you will always be my most beloved daughter, this will never change. I love you.” Xue Li Dan Ni quickly took her daughter into her arms and soothingly patted her.

Xue Zi Xuan, who was so cold that he almost did not seem human, also showed a caring expression at this time, stroking his sister’s smooth hair and silently comforted her.

Zhou Yun Sheng walked back to his room with a hunched back, closed the door of the bathroom, and then looked up. His face did not have a single bit of his previous touched expression, just cold sarcasm.

Chapter 1.4 – A Sudden Visit

“Xue family?” Zhou Yun Sheng softly asked, “My sister’s surname is Xue? What is her name? Where is she now?”

The housekeeper seemed to be very dissatisfied with his many questions, replying coldly, “When you have cleaned yourself up, you may see the young mistress. Do you know how to use the bathroom equipment? If you don’t, I can teach you.”

Zhou Yun Sheng knew that they had already investigated him very clearly, so he shook his head with a red face. Xiao Liu Village didn’t even have tap water, having three hot showers a month was already a luxury, how could he have possibly seen modern bathroom equipment before?

In the eyes of Fu Bo, there was a trace of contempt. He walked into the bathroom, demonstrated how to use the various equipment to him, then took out a casual set of clothes from the closet, before saying, “The Madam has prepared clothes for the four seasons for you. You can’t use anything you brought with you, I’ve had people throw them away.”

Throwing my things away just like that, do you know how to respect others? Who the hell do you think you are? Zhou Yun Sheng was very annoyed in his heart, but his face had a timid expression, seeming to have nodded embarrassedly. Fu Bo was very satisfied with his attitude; he closed the door and left quickly.

When the footsteps went away,  Zhou Yun Sheng swept away his long bangs, raised his eyebrows and smiled ironically. His hunched back instantly turned straight, the humbleness on his face faded, and his respectful and weak movements became careless and arrogant. He paced around the room, looked here and there, before shaking his head, “This room is furnished like a hotel suite, it seems like the host doesn’t want to waste too much time on me, nor is intending for me to stay for a long time. I am a poor child. What benefits can I bring to them? That sum of compensation?”

When he said this, he sneered. How could someone who spent hundreds of millions of dollars to buy a luxury villa care about a compensation of 70,000 yuan? It was utterly ridiculous. There must be a deeper reason.

He started humming as he rummaged around the room but didn’t find what he needed the most– a laptop.

In his original world, he was a hacker, a world-class one. Just give him a computer and a network signal receiver, and he would be able to go to heaven or hell, or create clouds with one hand and rain with the other*. Although this world’s technological development was not comparable to the interstellar era he lived in, computers have long become universal. If you were sincerely adopting a child, how could you ignore this most basic configuration (the laptop) when preparing a room for him?

[*T/N: Go to heaven or hell, or create clouds with one hand and rain with the other – “上天入地,翻云覆雨” very powerful, being able to do many remarkable or unimaginable things]

Therefore, Zhou Yun Sheng could tell at a glance that this family’s purpose for adopting him was not to treat him kindly, but for other benefits. If he had a computer now, he could go online, and according to the current address and a “Xue” surname, check the bottom line of this family inside out.

“Forget it, so what if I find out, anyways I would still have to run towards death. The only fun in living here is probably just to give some trouble to the son of fate from time to time.” Zhou Yun Sheng mockingly laughed at himself, gave up on searching, and went to take a shower.

I have lived in the sandy desert for ten years, have eaten enough coarse flour, slept enough on hard soil, and now finally can live in this splendid villa for a while, it seems pretty good. His mind was very determined, and even if he fell to the point where he could be slaughtered freely, he would never admit defeat. He has been trying to break the control of the system. If he couldn’t do it this time, he could do it the next time, if he couldn’t do it next time, then he could try again next time. He believed that one day, he could crush the so-called Lord God under his feet.

The Lord God would probably know that his codename in the real world was Deicide, the mortal who kills gods. The question of who was the real winner of this game was still inconclusive. He covered his face with a wet handkerchief and laughed quietly.

An hour later, the housekeeper came to knock on the door, with a dissatisfied expression on his face, thinking that as a guest, the time Zhou Yun Sheng took to take a bath was even longer than that of the young master with OCD, making the madam, young master, and young miss sit in the living room to wait for him, really didn’t know any manners.

“Fu Bo, this set of clothes seems to be for girls.” Zhou Yun Sheng opened the door and tugged on the set of casual white clothes on his body. Don’t think that because he was from a remote village he was easy to trick. These overly tight pants, the waist hugging top, and the small flowers on the sleeves, only girls would dress like this.

Fu Bo’s face remained unchanged, perhaps thinking that Zhou Yun Sheng did not go out for a long time because his clothes were too feminine, the dissatisfaction in his heart slightly reduced. He seriously explained, “This type of clothing is meant for both men and women. You and young miss are biological siblings, the madam says that by wearing the same style of clothing, both of you would seem more like relatives. Now androgynous clothing is popular, everyone dresses like this, you don’t need to be bothered by it.”

“Is it?” Zhou Yun Sheng was dubious, clutching the hem of his clothes while following Fu Bo downstairs.

The handsome man had long been waiting in the living room. Whether he was standing, sitting, or walking, his back was always straight, his hands placed over each other, naturally placed on his knees, his posture and appearance seeming as perfect as a statue. Hearing the footsteps, he looked over, his dark eyes are calm and without any ripples, neither sad or happy.

A young girl sat beside him, both hands wrapped tightly around his arm. Miraculously, he forgot that he had OCD, being very tolerant of the girl, especially pampering towards her.

This is probably my twin sister? Zhou Yun Sheng playfully* guessed, his eyes looking back and forth on the other’s beautiful face.

[*T/N: playfully – 玩味 a bit sarcastic, kind of like an “oh is that so” attitude]

Chapter 1.3 – A Sudden Visit

“Ai,” Zhou Yun Sheng agreed, before climbing into the car with much trouble.

Due to malnutrition, the development of this body was very slow. Although he was already 16 years old, he was only around 1.6 meters, and his figure was also very slender, as though a gust of wind could blow him away. His cheeks even had two red patches. Overall, an ugly appearance.

Seeing that Zhou Yun Sheng took more than half a day to climb up, and even half rolled in, and afterward started touching here and there, looking extremely curious, the assistant couldn’t help but laugh again, scorn unknowingly leaking from his eyes.

The handsome man still did not have any reaction, commanding the assistant to quickly start the car. As Xiao Liu Village started to slowly fade into the distance, Zhou Yun Sheng rested against the window, looking at his aunts and uncles who continued to chase after the car, shouting while running, “Yi-Zi, where is the bank book? You’re going to the city where you can enjoy life and won’t need the money, why don’t you leave the bank book behind? Your younger brothers and sisters still need to attend school!”

What school, you’re going to let them go to the port to work next year, even the foreman has already been contacted, did you think I didn’t know? Zhou Yun Sheng was clear in his heart but didn’t expose it, he just waved at his relatives, his smile innocent.

After a few hours drive, they reached the provincial capital where they took a flight, and after one day and one night, they finally reached the capital. The handsome man did not say anything the entire trip. Zhou Yun Sheng wanted to converse with him, to scope out his bottom line, but all his words were diverted away by the assistant. He obviously did not want him to bother the handsome man.

Turns out that I’m an unwelcomed presence, but then why did they travel so far to bring me back? Zhou Yun Sheng wondered to himself, but had already realized that he definitely had something on him that they wanted. They were separated from young, and had not seen each other for more than a decade, these kind of siblings, even if they were blood-related, what kind of feelings could they have towards each other? Once his sister heard of his presence she begged for him to be taken back, but did not even ask a single word about their dead parents, no matter how this situation was looked at, it just seemed strange.

Thinking till this point, Zhou Yun Sheng’s wariness of this family was raised to the maximum, but a second later, it immediately deflated. So what if he was wary about them? With the villain system around, even if it was a sea of fire in front of him, he would still have to bash his way through it, without any room for resistance.

Looking at the neon lights which flew past outside the window, Zhou Yun Sheng quietly sighed. The car passed through the bustling city, into the forested suburbs, through a winding mountain road and finally arrived at a golf course. The handsome man’s home was located in the villa area of the golf course, such a landscape, such a location, this could not be bought with only money.

Zhou Yun Sheng had no choice but to reassess the man’s family background. Not only was he from an influential clan, but he was also from one which was very wealthy. As expected, his twin sister was this world’s protagonist. She was born in such a remote mountain village but could still be adopted by such a prominent family, that type of luck really went against the heavens. However, in order to reduce complications, many people liked to adopt children from remote places, some even adopted abroad, this point was not difficult to understand.

The car bypassed the fountain before steadily stopping at the front door. When Zhou Yun Sheng hopped out of the car, the system released the second task – to integrate into the new family. In other words, it’s to settle his relationship with this family and get their approval. Zhou Yun Sheng immediately showed a look of fear, and walked towards the handsome man step by step, gently holding his hand which was in pure white gloves.

The handsome man obviously didn’t expect the teenager to make such a move. He immediately shrugged him off, using a cold and disgusted tone he clearly said, “You are not allowed to touch me, this is the first rule you must abide by.” (T/N: you’ll regret this later)

Oh, so it turns out I have to follow rules too? Then what exactly do you take me for? A pet? A servant? Or just a tool to achieve your purpose, whatever that is? Zhou Yun Sheng had a deeper understanding of his future. He stepped back two steps, bowed his head, and used his overly long bangs to cover his own cold and hateful expression.

The two walked into the living room, one behind the other, and the assistant followed, holding the baggage.

“Young Master, welcome back. The hot water is already ready. When you’re done washing up, we can have the meal.” A white-haired old man walked to the door with a straight posture to welcome them, his tone very respectful. As he raised his head, he looked at Zhou Yun Sheng, his gaze staying on his chest for a long time (not in a perverted way).

“This is the young miss’s brother?”

“Yes, take him back to his room to clean up, he’s filthy.” The handsome man ordered with a frown.

“Very well, Mr. Huang, please come with me.” The old man beckoned.

Zhou Yun Sheng nodded reservedly, his eyes quickly sweeping the living room, not finding his so-called twin sister. The news that he had arrived today, the assistant had told the family about it as early as when they got off the plane. If they cared about him, they would have definitely waited for him in the living room, or better, stand at the door to welcome him.

But they hadn’t, except for the handsome man, not a single one of this family’s members appeared. And this old man, who seemed to be the housekeeper, the way he looked at him was very strange, not like looking at a living person, but more like the dead. When his gaze lingered on his chest, that bone-chilling feeling made all the hairs on his body instantly stand on end.

What on earth were they planning? Zhou Yun Sheng did not like the feeling of jumping into a trap and being unable to climb out. But with the villain system, he could only accept it, freely letting others oppress him. When will this kind of life end? Thinking of this, a strong feeling of resentment and unwillingness churned in his chest, but he still kept a cautiously humble expression on his face.

The housekeeper led him to a room on the second floor and said, “You will live here from now on, feel free to ask for anything. I am Fu Bo, the Xue family’s housekeeper.”

“Xue family?” Zhou Yun Sheng softly asked, “My sister’s surname is Xue? What is her name? Where is she now?”

Chapter 1.2 – A Sudden Visit

The man was very young, about twenty-five years old, with a height of around 1.88 meters, all he needed to do was tip-toe and he could touch the roof. Hearing the sound, he looked sideways, his pair of narrow phoenix eyes full of melancholy and indifference, the beautiful facial features seemed like a beam of light shining into Zhou Yun Sheng’s eyes, causing him to suddenly understand what is as handsome as a bright room, what is called as beautiful as a jadeite crown*.

[*T/N: What is as handsome as a bright room, what is called as beautiful as a jadeite crown – In Chinese, “什么叫做满室生辉,什么叫做美如冠玉”, the author basically calling the man very very very handsome or pretty. The first one isn’t actually used to describe people so I’m not so sure, the second one can also mean as beautiful as jade.]

Zhou Yun Sheng was frozen on the spot, unconsciously hiding his hands which were covered with flour behind him. He liked men, and this man was precisely his favorite type, noble and elegant, with a unique temperament, gentle like the moonlight, and pleasant like the spring breeze, however, ice cold arrogance was hidden in his pair of indifferent eyes.

Before this, Zhou Yun Sheng had been blown by the cold wind when riding the tractor, so his nose was a little blocked and runny. Zhou Yun Sheng praised the beautiful man in his heart while habitually wiping his nose, when he saw the other person’s gaze turn from indifference to disgust, his heart contracted in fear. No matter what this person came to do, he did not have a good impression of him, so he was most likely a plot character.

As a villain, he would definitely be hostile to most of the plot characters, Zhou Yun Sheng still had this much awareness. He immediately adjusted his thoughts, cracked opened his mouth, and smiled at the man.

The man turned his gaze away and indifferently said, “Take him away.”

“Yes, Mr. Xue.” A middle-aged man nodded his head before stepping forward to explain the situation with a smile.

Only then did Zhou Yun Sheng know that this body also had a twin sister, as his parents were unable to raise her due to her weak body, she was given to a rich couple to be taken care of. The couple was precisely the parents of the handsome young man. Now that his little sister had grown up, she accidentally discovered her identity, so she cried and begged for her twin brother to be taken home to accompany her. The couple couldn’t bear to refuse her and thus had their eldest son look for him, which was why the handsome man appeared in Zhou Yun Sheng’s worn-out cave.

Zhou Yun Sheng put on a shocked expression, but in his heart, he was contemplating the identity of the handsome man who had suddenly appeared and his supposed sister. The probability of them being the protagonists was 70%, 30% for important side characters, and as for cannon fodder*, the probability was obviously 0, the man’s appearance was too flawless, from once glance one could tell he was definitely not cannon fodder.

[*T/N: cannon fodder – “炮灰” basically the type of character that doesn’t contribute much to the story and dies very fast]

Just then, the system made a “ding” noise, meaning that a mission was here. “Host, please leave Xiao Liu village with these two people.”

Things have finally progressed*, Zhou Yun Sheng felt relaxed all over. He pretended to ask a lot of questions in surprise, such as: “is my sister alright, where does she live, how long will it take etc.”

[*T/N: Things have finally progressed – “终于刷出新副本” this has some references to gaming, so in games when a new quest or mission has popped out its called a “新副本” so what ZYS means is that he can finally advance to another stage of level of this world]

The handsome man seemed a bit arrogant, staying silent the entire time, and also seemed to be very particular about cleanliness, wearing a pair of white gloves and refusing to touch anything in the house. Seeing that the assistant was still patiently answering all of the youth’s questions, he said in a heavy voice, “Let’s go first, whatever you want to say you can say it in the car.”

“Yes Mr. Xue,” the assistant quickly responded, not caring about the opinions of the youth, just asking him for his identification documents and luggage. In their eyes, Xiao Liu Village was an extremely poor place, who could resist the temptation of leaving this place and moving to a big city?

Zhou Yun Sheng really couldn’t resist. He was used to living a lavish lifestyle, being stuck in Xiao Liu Village for ten years was already his limit. Moreover, the original body’s parents had died unjustly, while the culprit had just used some money to settle with the original body’s grandparents, and signed a private agreement, it was not enough to sway him. The original’s parents worked hard for so many years, not keeping much of the money they had earned, instead sending a large portion of it back to pay for Zhou Yun Sheng’s education, he couldn’t just not repay this debt of gratitude.

The handsome man came from the capital, while the original body’s parents were killed when they were working in the capital, since he was going there this time he could use this chance to find out the truth. Deciding on this course of action, Zhou Yun Sheng did not delay, immediately packing up some clothes and documents, and followed the two.

Walking towards the entrance of the village, a black SUV was parked at the side of the road, surrounded by a group of elderly people and children who were giving sighs of appreciation. Even if they haven’t seen much of the world*, they could judge its huge value from its huge body and sleek paint job.

[*T/N: haven’t seen much of the world – “没见过世面” means that one hasn’t experienced much of the world with a negative connotation, thus has very limited knowledge about it, pretty much like a country bumpkin]

Wow, a Land Rover SVAutobiography*, which cost at least three million yuan**, this handsome man’s family background wasn’t bad.

[*T/N: Land Rover SVAUTOBIOGRAPHY – a very luxurious and super expensive land rover, considered to be rather high end among the land rovers]

[**T/N: three million yuan – Chinese currency, should be around 430,600 US dollars]

Zhou Yun Sheng was not just some country bumpkin, he could tell what the brand of the car was at a glance, and already had a general understanding of the people who he was going with. Even if they were not from some gigantic wealthy clan*, they should at least have more than enough in riches. No wonder they were so fussy.

[*T/N: gigantic wealthy clan – “豪门巨族” kind of like the Chinese equivalent of chaebols, big families or clans that are very wealthy (the kind which has a lot of drama most of the time)]

He pretended to be like the other children, crowding around the car with excitement and curiosity, causing the assistant to laugh out loud. Although the handsome man was indifferent and arrogant, he still had a proper upbringing, waiting for Zhou Yun Sheng to look his fill before opening the door and calmly saying, “Let’s go.”

“Ay.” Zhou Yun Sheng agreed, before climbing into the car with much trouble.
