Chapter 89 – How Did You Get Up There?

Sixth High’s monthly exams for the day finally ended.

Picking up her school bag, Little Peach marched toward the school gate with stiff but powerful steps.

On her way back home, she avoided eye-contact with others while also behaving courteously to her fellow pedestrians, stopped at red lights, and continued walking at green lights. Even her gait was measured, the steps she took never deviating by more than half a centimeter.

Fifteen minutes later, she arrived before the apartment building the Chen family resided in and entered the elevator.

“Ho-Hold up! Wait for me!”

At this time, a young man carrying a large bag filled with milk tea and snacks came running over in a hurry, the man stretching out his leg to stop the elevator door from closing.

“Ah? Little Chen? Isn’t it Sunday today? You have school today as well?”

“Mhm.” Little Peach nodded before pressing the 19th-floor button.

“Get my floor for me, will you? My hands are tied up at the moment. I had to queue for half an hour to buy these snacks. I was in such a rush that I even forgot to use the bathroom after waking up this morning. I can barely hold it in now.”

Hearing these words, Little Peach could not help but be stunned as she looked at the young suspiciously.

She did not recognize this youth. She also did not know which floor the other party lived on. However, judging by his tone of voice, this young seemed to be closely familiar with her master.

Hence, to avoid exposing herself and hurting her master’s relationship with his neighbors, she felt that she should not ask which floor the youth lived on.

After thinking for a little, her brain cleverly came up with a surefire solution to this problem, and that was to press all the buttons from the 2nd to the 22nd floors. She didn’t even let the alarm button off the hook…

Meanwhile, the neighbor, who had sandwiched his crotch with his thighs, stared at Little Peach with a disbelief look. “???”

After accomplishing her deed, Little Peach nodded and politely smiled at the young man.

His house was bound to be on one of the floors, right?!

So she thought…

…

Ding!

A few minutes later, Little Peach reached the 19th floor and exited the elevator. After leaving the elevator, she turned back to look at the small puddle found at a corner of the elevator. “Humans are so troublesome.”

Pulling out a key, she unlocked the security door to the Chen family’s abode. As soon as she entered the living room, Chen Erke and Chen Sanke promptly dashed at her.

“Big Brother is back!” Chen Erke said as she swiftly hugged Little Peach’s left leg. She then started rubbing her head against the disguised robot girl’s leg.

“Big Brother is-ah.”

Chen Sanke was not only slower, but she also messed up her steps and tripped herself before she could reach Little Peach.

“Mhm, I’m back.”

Not daring to speak too much, Little Peach only nodded and gave a brief response before shaking off the two little girls. After arriving before Chen Yu’s bedroom, she pulled out a second key and opened the door.

“Huh? Where’s Mr. Chen?”

“…I’m above you.”

Stunned, Little Peach raised her head and found that Chen Yu was currently stuck on the ceiling, his body rapidly spinning around in circles.

Bang!

At a loss on what to do, Little Peach hurriedly shut the door and asked, “Ho-How did you get up there?”

“The design of this thing is broken! The propeller stopped spinning already, yet why am I still spinning?!” Chen Yu bellowed as he pointed at the propeller that was stuck into the ceiling. “Hurry up and read the manual for me! How do I stop it? I can’t hold on anymore!”

“Uh! Mhm!”

Hurriedly nodding, Little Peach picked up the instruction manual on the ground and hastily read through it. She then said, “Uh… If you wish to accelerate, think of the word ‘accelerate,’ and the speed will increase.”

Hum, hum, hum!

As soon as Little Peach said these words, Chen Yu started spinning even faster, his body seemingly becoming a spinning top…

“…You fool! I asked you to find a way to stop it! Don’t say any other-

Blergh!

Other nonsense!”

“Oh! If… If you want to stop the aircraft’s operation, think of the words ‘Take-off Prohibited Immediately,’ and the aircraft will stop running.”

“Ta-Take-off Prohibited Immediately!” Afraid that his mind would fail him at a critical moment, Chen Yu even shouted the keywords out loud.

In the next moment, the rotation stopped.

Click.

The three clamps linking Chen Yu to the aircraft also unlocked, and he hurriedly struggled free from them before falling to the ground.

“Mr. Chen, are you alright?” Little Peach asked worriedly as she ran over to help Chen Yu up. “Your face looks so red.”

“You’ll turn red if you get spun like that as well! Bring me the trash can, quickly! Ugh…

Blergh… Cough, cough…

”

After vomiting for several minutes, Chen Yu wiped his mouth before laying down on his bed, panting. Currently, he felt as if the world around him was spinning.

“W-Why is the damned deactivation key so long?! How can you even guess it without reading the instruction manual?!”

“You should’ve finished reading the instructions before operating it.”

“Stop talking about this. Find… Find a way to get that propeller down for me. I need to lie down for a while. Ugh… I’m dying…”

“Understood.”

After saying so, Little Peach took the chair in front of the study desk and placed it beneath the Spiral Ascending Aircraft. She then jumped onto the chair and grabbed the propeller with both hands before yanking hard.

Crack!

The propeller came out of the ceiling.

At the same time, fragments of the ceiling board and concrete also fell.

Chen Yu: “…”

“Mr. Chen, I got it down,” Little Peach joyfully said as she raised the propeller in her hands.

Clang!

As soon as Little Peach was done speaking, a large piece of concrete fell from the ceiling and hit Little Peach on the forehead. However, despite the heavy impact, Little Peach remained smiling as if nothing had happened at all.

“Oh, my god…”

Covering his face, Chen Yu no longer wished to think about anything as he shut his eyes.

Meanwhile, after jumping off the chair, Little Peach carefully inspected the Spiral Ascending Aircraft before saying, “Mr. Chen, there are no damages. This propeller is very sturdy.”

“Yes, but the room isn’t.”

“It’s fine. The damage to the ceiling is only on the surface.”

“Fine.”

Patting his head and feeling slightly more comfortable, Chen Yu sat up and looked at the ceiling. “No more rocks will fall down, right? I’ll get injured if one lands on my head.”

“That won’t happen. Everything that will drop has dropped.”

Clang!

In the next moment, another piece of concrete fell and landed on Little Peach’s head.

“What were you saying?”

“I said everything that will drop has dropped.”

Clang!

Another piece of concrete fell…

Pinching his forehead, Chen Yu asked, “I know you’re not afraid of pain, but it looks very unpleasant for me. Can you not stand directly below that hole?”

“Okay.” Taking a few steps back, Little Peach asked, “Mr. Chen, do you need me to repair it? All I need are the raw materials.”

“No, there are hundreds of lives living in this building.”

Getting out of bed, Chen Yu circled around the damaged area of the ceiling and walked up to Little Peach. He then grabbed the Spiral Ascending Aircraft from her hands and gave it a thorough inspection, finding that there was indeed no damages to the aircraft. At most, there were some scratches on the three propeller blades.

“As expected of a material from the future. It really is strong.”

After placing the aircraft to a corner of the room, Chen Yu looked up at the ceiling and felt his head ache.

He could only seek out the help of professionals to repair this kind of damage. While he was at it, he might as well get his floor repaired as well.

Pulling out his phone, Chen Yu made an
