Chapter 28

You can be a cuckold for the rest of your life.

Back home, Chen Yi was somewhat depressed.

Despite putting in a lot of effort, he still couldn't repair his relationship with Kexin.

That damn blond guy even came and took over my niche; now I have no excuse to go find Kexin anymore.

The more frustrating thing is related to "Yan Youyou".

When we said goodbye yesterday.

—Um, your name is Yan Youyou, right? I'm Chen Yi…we're in the same class.

--oh.

—Thank you so much for your help. I thank you on behalf of Aunt Meizi.

--Um.

—Aunt Meizi is alright now. It's so late, it's not safe. Shall I take you home?

No.

What's going on?!

Mingming was just like me, an outsider in the class.

An insignificant nobody, yet he acts all high and mighty.

It's disgusting!

Click-clack—

The door lock is open.

On the sofa, Chen Yi's mother was sitting with her legs crossed, eating sunflower seeds.

The popular TV series "Tokyo Love Story" brought tears to the eyes of a woman nearing forty who had gained weight, and she muttered:

"I should marry a 1.85-meter-tall handsome guy from Tokyo!"

Unlike the virtuous and hardworking Miko, Tsuchihara Ruko is a typical housewife.

At home, all I do is use my husband's money to watch TV series, order takeout, and hire housekeepers...

The only thing I did myself was probably put the ingredients I bought on a plate and pretend that I had worked hard all afternoon to make them.

The surrounding ladies all envied her good fortune; despite being fat and ugly, she had found "the perfect man in every woman's eyes"—a silent ATM.

"Mom...I'm back," Chen Yi called out timidly.

"Okay," Tsuchihara replied, wiping away her tears. "Go wash your hands, and while you're at it, wash the blueberries and bring them over."

Chen Yi nodded, turned around and went to the kitchen, where he saw a girl wearing a thick mask and a uniform with "Shenma Housekeeping" printed on it cleaning the corners of the kitchen with a rag.

Yan Youyou sighed inwardly; the rubber gloves were still too stuffy.

But the thought of having money to buy a phone after starting work, and being able to add Mr. Knight on LINE, is so appealing.

She was full of energy.

After all, LINE is much more fun and cheaper than SMS chatting, and it also allows video calls and sending emojis...

"Yan Youyou?" Upon seeing the person he had fallen in love with at first sight, Chen Yi's heart skipped a beat.

The curses that had been hidden in my heart vanished.

My goodness, could there be a more serendipitous coincidence in the world?

"Let me help you," Chen Yi said, grabbing a rag without even washing the blueberries.

He started cleaning up the hard-to-reach corners of the kitchen on his own.

"Um?"

Yan Youyou was thinking about Jiang Ling the whole time, and only noticed that there was another person when Chen Yi walked up to her.

"How can a little girl like you do such hard work?" Before Yan Youyou could speak, Chen Yi deliberately rolled up his sleeves, showing off his thin muscles.

"You look tired, go and rest over there."

There are blueberries on the table that you can eat.

Yan Youyou: ...

"No, thank you." Yan Youyou quickly snatched the rag and said coldly.

"This is my job, please don't bother me, thank you, it's very important to me."

If the boss finds out I'm absent without leave, he'll dock my pay!

How can I pay tuition and buy a phone if I don't have money?

"Well... hehe, okay, I'll go wash some fruit first. Remember to come out and eat when you're done."

Hearing the word "thank you".

Chen Yi felt refreshed and believed that his image and favorability in Yan Youyou's eyes had improved even more.

……

The house has a robot vacuum cleaner, dishwasher, washing machine, dryer...

In addition, Mrs. Tsuchihara hires a cleaning service once a week.

Therefore, Yan Youyou's job was neither dirty nor tiring; she only needed to take care of those corners that no one paid attention to.

About two hours later.

Everything has been cleaned up and is now in perfect order.

Mrs. Tsuchihara nodded in satisfaction and sighed, "That damned Chen Daxiong is so lucky to have a wife like me."

If it were another woman...

She had already seized all the family property, and while she was at it, she sued him for marital rape and sent him to jail, then ran away with her gigolo.

The total cost for two hours, including the tip, was 8000 yen.

Yan Youyou bowed gratefully to Mrs. Tsuchihara.

After all, the tips, which make up the majority of the money, don't need to be handed over; they're a bonus that belongs solely to her.

Mrs. Tsuchihara yawned, tired of watching TV, and decided it was time to go back to her room for an afternoon nap.

After his mother returned to her room, Chen Yi finally mustered the courage to look up.

"Yan Youyou, you've worked hard. Have some blueberries."

"Oh, no thanks," Yan Youyou said casually after counting the cash.

She has never accepted food from strangers.

Chen Yi then presented a sliced ​​apple, saying, "This apple took me a lot of effort to slice."

As he spoke, he deliberately showed off his index finger, which had been cut by a knife, as if to say, "Look, I made a great sacrifice for you!"

"I...don't want to eat anything right now," Yan Youyou said, sounding a little annoyed.

Does this guy not understand human speech?

But then I thought about how the other woman's mother had just given her a large tip.

She couldn't very well directly yell at the other person's son.

Seeing that Yan Youyou was serious, Chen Yi didn't press the matter further.

However, he thought of an even better way to improve his public image.

"Yan Youyou, the sun is really strong outside. If you go out like this, you might get heatstroke."

"Take this parasol."

"You can do it next time my mom asks you for help."

Yan Youyou's attention was entirely focused on the seven words, "Mom will talk to you again next time."

"Okay," Yan Youyou thought for a moment, then nodded gently. "Thanks, see you next time."

See you next time...

Next time...

See……

Oh my god, so sweet!

Chen Yi's mind went blank, with three words echoing in his head.

For no apparent reason, a saying came to mind: "If she sheds a single tear, I will slaughter a city."

"Let me walk you part of the way," Chen Yi said, clearing his throat. "I'm going downstairs to the supermarket to buy groceries for tonight."

Yan Youyou wondered if she could buy a second-hand smartphone for 8,000 yen.

After all, the only software she needed was LINE.

Not long after I went downstairs.

Just as Chen Yi was following Yan Youyou around a corner, he was excitedly following her.

*Thud*, Chen Yi, not looking where he was going, stepped on something soft.

"Hey! You stepped on my foot!" A very arrogant voice suddenly came from beside my ear.

Chen Yi shuddered, turned his head to look, and was almost startled.

A group of burly thugs were standing in the alley.

His muscular upper arms were covered with a terrifying blue snake tattoo.

The bald, burly man at the head of the group gave a wicked smile, sized him up, and said with a laugh, "You're Chen Yi?"

"I'm not Chen Yi!" Chen Yi was so frightened that he hurriedly waved his hands, his legs trembling like a leaf.

Suddenly, a thought struck him. Suppressing the fear in his heart, he swallowed hard and said:

"I...I'm Jiang Ling. Chen Yi? Who's that? I...I don't know him!"

Snapped--

The bald, burly man slapped him across the face with such force that he was stunned.

"Damn it, Chen Yi, you dare to lie to me? You must have a death wish!"

The bald, burly man gestured with his lips, and his henchmen surrounded him, "inviting" the two men into the alley.

Yan Youyou: ...

Her slender, pale fingers flew across the phone as she typed.

However, just before she could send the message, the bald man's henchmen snatched her phone away to prevent her from calling the police.

"Our boss said he's going to punish you severely!" the bald, burly man said, scratching his head.

To be honest, he didn't understand why he was testing this weak student.

They still had to follow the steps sent by the boss and test things out one by one.

Furthermore, the leader left a message: "This kid is terrifyingly dangerous, be extremely careful!"

"Uh, first of all, see our tattoos? We're from the Viper Gang," the bald man began his first probing.

Chen Yi knelt down with a thud. "Big brothers... I... I... I... I'll give you all the money, please let me go."

Bald, burly man: ...

Boss, is this kid really that terrifying?
