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]
Hmmm. Making him use Girls clothes is suspicious. Maybe they’re trying to make him impersonate her for something.
Thanks for the chapter!
My child, you are too innocent… Sigh…
Yes this child please read FOD then come back ahh….
I love your innocence. Interesting to know the opinions of someone who didn’t read FOD yet.
I feel bad for her though.
