Chapter 169 – You’re Quite Bold, Huh?
Once, Chen Yu had a magical Invisibility Cloak.
So long as he donned it on his body, aside from Chen Erke, nobody else could locate him.
One day, however, he casually threw it aside and couldn’t find it again…
In the end, he still ended up getting scammed…
Where did it go?
At seven o’clock the next morning, Chen Yu had school bags hung all over his body like always as he went to school together with his three little sisters. Throughout the journey, his mind had been thinking of the Invisibility Cloak.
He had searched both his room and the living room. He had even employed the husky’s help. However, he still failed to locate the missing cloak.
Dammit! My points…
After letting out a long sigh, Chen Yu stopped his footsteps and looked at the kindergarten ahead of him. Passing the school bag in his left hand to Chen Sanke, he said, “Third Eldest, have fun and listen to the teacher.”
“Okay.” Chen Sanke grabbed her school bag. Simultaneously, she squinted angrily at Chen Erke.
“What are you looking at?” Responding to Chen Sanke’s glare, Chen Erke, who had band-aids placed on her cheeks and forehead, revealed a defiant look as she said, “You want another beating?”
“Bleh! Bleh! Bleh!” Chen Sanke stuck her tongue out at Chen Erke. “Disgusting person!”
“You’re the disgusting person!” Chen Erke brandished her fists angrily.
Chen Sanke: “Reflect.”
Chen Erke: “Reflect again.”
“Reflect again! Full stop.”
“Revise, reflect, full stop. No more revisions allowed.”
“Remove with liquid paper, reflect! Whoever reflects again is a dog!”
“Woof! Reflect!”
A frown formed on Chen Yu’s face as he listened to his two little sisters’ argument. Quickly, he dragged Chen Erke away. “Time to go.”
Meanwhile, after getting dragged across the street, Chen Erke angrily looked at Chen Yu and said, “Brother, why are you stopping me? I’m going to teach her a lesson!”
“Take a look at yourself. Look at how much Third Eldest beat you up.”
“I lost yesterday because the living room was too small. I couldn’t put my strength to full use.”
“You failed to run away, right?”
“Brother!” Stamping her feet, Chen Erke complained, “If we’re fighting with real weapons, she won’t be my match.”
“Fine, fine, fine. You’re the best.”
“Brother.” Puffing up her cheeks, Chen Erke said, “I want to learn Taekwondo.”
“What are you trying to do?” Chen Yu asked as he visually inspected his little sister. “Revenge?”
“Do you think I’ll need martial arts to beat Third Eldest?” Chen Erke said in contempt. “I’m just doing it to strengthen my body. My teacher already said that girls need to learn some self-defense skills. Brother, you have money now. Can you enroll me in a taekwondo class?”
“This…”
“Please, Big Brother. You’re the best,” Chen Erke pleaded as she hugged and rubbed her head against Chen Yu’s thigh. “Please! If you let me learn it, I’ll give you back massages every day.”
“Really?”
“Really! Really!” Chen Erke nodded repeatedly.
“Fine, then. Big Brother will enroll you in a taekwondo class. You must finish at least the first term. If you can endure the hardship, I’ll even let you continue.”
“Really?! Big Brother, you’re the best! Big Brother, you’re awesome! Thank you, Big Brother!”
“Stop, stop! Stop rubbing! Stay away from me!”
“Brother! Are you really going to let Second Eldest take revenge on Third Eldest?” Chen Yike, who stood behind the brother and sister duo, asked, frowning.
“What revenge? Children will forget about their fights after a few days,” Chen Yu said as he raised his pants. “Letting Second Eldest learn some self-defense skills is a good thing as well. If she has a strong body, she won’t get bullied at school.”
“Right!” Chen Erke nodded in agreement.
“Your stop is here. Time to go to school.” Stopping his footsteps, Chen Yu passed the school bag in his right hand to Chen Erke and said, “Listen to the teacher. If anyone bullies you, tell me.”
“I know. Big Brother, I love you.”
“I love you too.”
After seeing off Chen Erke, Chen Yu turned toward Chen Yike and fell silent for a moment. He then said, “How about I enroll you into a class as well?”
“Me? What class?”
“How about the piano?”
“P-Piano?” Chen Yike’s face suddenly flushed. “I-I don’t like the piano! Why should I learn it?”
“Do you really hate it?”
“I… I don’t like it.”
“Oh.” Grinning, Chen Yu said, “Nevermind, then.”
“Mhm.” Hearing Chen Yu’s words, Chen Yike hesitantly opened her mouth to say something. In the end, however, she merely grunted in affirmation before silently following Chen Yu.
After walking for another four minutes, the two siblings arrived before the entrance of a middle school. After tossing the bag on his chest to Chen Yike, Chen Yu turned away while saying, “Pay attention to class, and no dating. I’ll break your legs otherwise.”
Hugging onto her bag, Chen Yike blankly stared at Chen Yu’s departing back without saying anything.
…
After arriving in Sixth High’s Class 2-2, Chen Yu sat on his seat.
Xing Biqi, who sat in front of Chen Yu, turned around and greeted, “C-Chen Yu, you’re early.”
“Mhm.” Chen Yu nodded perfunctorily. He then took out his phone and visited Bilibili’s platform to look at the edited version of yesterday’s livestream.
“Have you eaten?”
“I did.”
“I-I made some snacks again. Would you like to try them?” While saying so, Xing Biqi had already pushed a delicate lunchbox toward Chen Yu.
Frowning, Chen Yu asked, “Why are you making food for me every day? Where did you get the extra money?”
“I saved it,” Xing Biqi squeaked.
Accepting the lunch box and opening the lid, Chen Yu discovered a pink strawberry ice cream cake inside. After remaining silent for a moment, he picked up the chopsticks Xing Biqi provided while asking, “You made it?”
“Mhm.” The girl nodded with a blush on her face.
“I nearly believed it.” While replaying some spy movies in his mind, Chen Yu stabbed his chopsticks into the cake, picked up a piece, and stuffed it into his mouth.
Meanwhile, Xing Biqi clenched her fists as she looked at Chen Yu expectantly. “H-How is it? Is it delicious?”
In response, Chen Yu simply shook his head as he swallowed the cake. He then proceeded to grab another bite.
“Is it bad?” The young girl looked very disappointed.
However, Chen Yu simply continued shaking his head and grabbed another bite.
“Is it good, or not?”
Chen Yu still shook his head in response.
“C-Chen Yu, can you give me a comment?” Xing Biqi asked as she pinched the corners of her shirt. “I-I’ll improve next time.”
“I’ve already given you my comment,” Chen Yu said.
“What?”
“See my hand holding the chopsticks?”
“I see it.”
“Take the chopsticks away.”
Xing Biqi skeptically pulled the chopsticks away.
Meanwhile, Chen Yu kept his hand in its chopstick-holding position as he indifferently asked, “Can you see what this gesture is?”
The girl carefully stared at Chen Yu’s right hand, and her eyes gradually widened as realization dawned on her.
Noticing the girl’s realization, Chen Yu gradually railed in his little finger, ring finger, and middle finger, making the “ღ” gesture his index finger and thumb made even more apparent. Smiling, he said, “I’ve been expressing my opinion all this time.”
Xing Biqi covered her mouth, her eyes instantly becoming moist. With a stifled voice, she said, “T-Thank you.”
“Although I’m not sure if you actually made this, it’s delicious.”
Withdrawing his hand, Chen Yu swallowed the last piece of cake before saying, “You can turn around now.”
“Mhm!”
The girl wiped her tears, and excitedly turned away. A moment later, however, she suddenly turned back and whispered, “C-Chen Yu, can I trouble you with something?”
“What is it? Speak.”
“The finals are coming soon. I…” Glancing at Chen Yu shyly, Xing Biqi continued, “I still have many things I don’t know. C-Can you come to my house and teach me in a few days?”
“Go to your house? To teach you how to study?”
“Mhm. M-My grandparents won’t be home during this time❤~.”
“Is that so.” As if deep in thought, Chen Yu asked, “Which subject?”
“Physics.”
“Oh…” Realization dawned on Chen Yu as he visually inspected Xing Biqi. A moment later, the corners of his lips curved up as he said, “Sure, sure. I’m good at physics. I have something to do these next few days. We’ll do it next week. I’ll go to your house to
teach you
.”
Chen Yu deliberately emphasized the last two words.
“He, hehe.” Xing Biqi’s blush had spread all the way to the roots of her ears. Quickly, she turned around and leaned against her table. She also stamped his feet repeatedly in excitement.
Meanwhile, a sneer had appeared on Chen Yu’s face.
You’re quite bold, huh?
