Illusory Reality [6]

Chen Liguo who got the menu basically sold off his soul.

Lin Zhaorong looked at Chen Liguo’s eager appearance as he held the menu and found it humorous. He said, "These dishes taste good, do you want to try them?"

Chen Liguo said, "Okay okay."

Lin Zhaorong asked, "You’re not afraid of being unable to finish by ordering so much?"

Chen Liguo almost blurted out ’It’s not me paying the bill anyway’ but he still wittily found an excuse and said, "Didn’t you say that the portions here are small?"

Lin Zhaorong: "......" Ai.

After ordering the two chatted about trivial matters.

Everything Lin Zhaorong asked was about Chen Liguo’s life. Such as which university he planned on going to, whether or not he was going to join a basketball team, what kind of car brand he liked......

People who were eating were soft spoken. Chen Liguo answered obediently.

Lin Zhaorong said, "This isn’t our first time meeting, you remember right?"

Chen Liguo thought, ’You’ve already kidnapped me once yet you’re still here pretending with me.’ But he still had an ignorant expression on his face as he said, "Ah...... I remember. I met you once when waiting for the bus."

Lin Zhaorong smiled but did not answer.

Chen Liguo felt that Zhou Yi’s warning about him had made sense. At first glance it could be seen that Lin Zhaorong, this person, wasn’t easy to get along with. Although he showed his understanding and gentleness that was like water while in front of him, Chen Liguo reckoned that his expression could turn faster than he could turn a page.

The restaurant was very quick and Chen Liguo finally ate what he ordered.

This shop’s food was really worthy of its prices. Chen Liguo drank a mouthful of his soup, it was so good his eyes were filled with stars.

Lin Zhaorong looked at the stars in Chen Liguo’s eyes and the corners of his lips hooked up slightly.

It had to be said that Lin Zhaorong looked very good. He was in his mid-thirties and his entire body exuded hormones. If it were any high school girl here instead perhaps they wouldn’t be able to resist his tender attack.

However, what kind of person was Chen Liguo? Chen Liguo was but a man who had transmigrated into countless small and big people. The beautiful men he’s seen was even more than the dishes he ordered today. Thus, upon seeing Lin Zhaorong’s expression he still had a ’Who am I? Where am I? Why is this soup so tasty?’ expression.

Fortunately, Lin Zhaorong didn’t care about this and watched Chen Liguo eat with a smile on his face throughout the entire course. He asked, "Does it taste good?"

Chen Liguo stuffed in a mouthful of pudding and said, "It’s delicious ye."

Lin Zhaorong felt that Chen Liguo was like a hamster. He had an extremely bright and happy expression while he ate everything with great care, as if afraid to make a mess and cause his owner to become unhappy and take the food away.

However, he had to admit that Chen Liguo who looked like this was especially cute.

The two ate for an hour. Chen Liguo was finally full. He rubbed his bulging stomach drank a glass of water.

Lin Zhaorong asked, "Done eating?"

Chen Liguo nodded.

Lin Zhaorong said, "Waiter, the bill."

Only then did Chen Liguo lay his heart at rest and once again stuffed a dessert into his mouth.

Lin Zhaorong: "......" This kid.

As for how much the cost of this meal was, Chen Liguo didn’t know. However, according to his calculations it was definitely not less than five figures. When they left the restaurant Chen Liguo sobered up a little and found that obviously he should have been the one to pay back his benefactor for saving his life, yet in the end he had actually dug another pit for Lin Zhaorong.

Chen Liguo immediately felt terribly ashamed and confessed to the system.

The system said, "You know to regret now?"

Chen Liguo said, "I was always very regretful while eating."

System: "Yet you still ate that much?"

Chen Liguo said, "It’s all already passed......"

System: "......"

However, Chen Liguo decided that he would definitely invite him again next time when the opportunity arises. The noodles from the place near the school gate tasted very good.

The system really had nothing to say to Chen Liguo. It even suspected that if Lin Zhaorong knew what Chen Liguo thought he would regret saving him.

Sitting in Lin Zhaorong’s car, Chen Liguo arrived home. After getting home he even said to him, "Goodbye Uncle."

When Lin Zhaorong heard this ’uncle’ his expression twisted for a moment. Then he told Chen Liguo, "You can directly call me by my name."

Chen Liguo looked confused. He said, "That would be too bad, very impolite ah."

Lin Zhaorong said, "Call me Lin Zhaorong or invite me for a meal."

Chen Liguo: "Goodbye Lin Zhaorong!"

Lin Zhaorong: "......"

He watched Chen Liguo head back home while jostling his school bag on his back and felt the urge to bite his lips but Lin Zhaorong suppressed the thoughts in his heart and started the car with a tranquil expression as he drove off.

Chen Liguo’s parents had yet to return when he arrived home. He took a shower and read for a while before laying in bed to rest.

Before he fell asleep he received a text message from Zhou Yi. He asked him what he was doing and why he didn’t attend self-study.

Chen Liguo sent back that he skipped class.

Zhou Yi asked: Skipped to do what?

Chen Liguo responded: To eat dinner.

Zhou Yi questioned: Why didn’t you take me if you’re going to eat dinner?

Chen Liguo thought, ’If I brought you I fear that Lin Zhaorong wouldn’t have paid the bill......’ Of course, these words couldn’t be said, so he sent: Just went home and randomly ate something.

Zhou Yi was silent for a few moments before sending two words: Good night. Although there were only two words it was as though Chen Liguo could imagine his gentle expression from them. Chen Liguo rubbed his phone against his chest a few times and then said, "My family’s Yiyi is so cute ah."

To phase it a little unconventionally, meeting Zhou Yi took up Chen Liguo’s lifetime of luck.

Once third year began the entire grade studied until the sky became dark and the earth black and both the sun and moon dimmed. Chen Liguo seemed to see a shadow of himself from these people.

At that time he would carry some flashcards in his pocket when working and would take advantage of the time when there were fewer customers to memorize two of them. It was because he worked so hard that he could support himself while keeping up his academic achievements.

When Chen Liguo went to play at Zhou Yi’s home last time Zhou Yi had said that they would take supplementary lessons together the next semester. Chen Liguo had thought that he was joking. He didn’t expect that he really came to find him not long after their third year started, telling him to not attend self study in the evening and instead take supplementary lessons with him.

At that moment Chen Liguo had been stunned and asked, "Ah? Supplementary lessons?"

Zhou Yi said, "Didn’t I tell you before?"

Chen Liguo said, "But......"

Zhou Yi said, "No buts." His tone left no leeway for refusal.

Although the system was currently helping Chen Liguo with exams in order to prevent others from having suspicions, Chen Liguo’s progress was still very finite. With his current achievements wanting to go to a university with Zhou Yi was simply a fantasy.

Zhou Yi said, "I’ll come find you after school."

Speechless, Chen Liguo could only watch Zhou Yi walk away with wide eyes.

After Zhou Yi left, Chen Liguo finally said, "Tong-er ah, do you need supplementary lessons?"

System: "......"

Chen Liguo said, "Tong-er ah, don’t be silent. When you don’t speak my heart falls into a fluster."

The system said, "If I can’t swear I have nothing to say."

Chen Liguo: "......" Dad, you can’t not want your son ah.

Zhou Yi came and found Chen Liguo after class finished. Chen Liguo said that he didn’t tell the teacher yet but Zhou Yi said, "I already told them."

Chen Liguo had no way out and could only be carried away by Zhou Yi.

When they left the classroom all the students in the class had gratified expressions. In particular, the class representative who was very concerned about Chen Liguo’s education. They even said to Chen Liguo, "Chen Liguo, study with Zhou Yi well ah, we will wait for you to return home in glory."

Chen Liguo: "......"

"Yes," said Chen Liguo’s deskmate who had fallen on hard times. "Zhou Yi, we will hand over Chen Liguo to you. Although there are problems with his brain don’t give up on him ah."

Zhou Yi actually acted in rapport with them and said, "Won’t abandon, won’t give up."

Chen Liguo: "......" You people are poisonous!!

There was already a car waiting for them at the school gate. Zhou Yi carried Chen Liguo to the car as though he were a chicken and after he was sure that the other couldn’t run away he said, "Uncle Li, back to home."

The driver drove towards Zhou Yi’s home. Chen Liguo turned and looked at the school gate that was moving further and further away. The sadness in his heart was no less than that of Wang Zhaojun who had been married out of the Great Wall.

Dinner was already prepared at Zhou Yi’s home.

Chen Liguo hadn’t met Zhou Yi’s parents often. He only knew that they lived abroad the whole year round and would only return home several times a year. In any case, Chen Liguo had lived with Zhou Yi for several years in university but only met his parents once.

Dinner was very sumptuous and there was even steamed pig brain and lettuce.

Chen Liguo asked, "Didn’t you not eat pig brains?"

Zhou Yi said, "You eat it ah."

Chen Liguo: "I don’t like to eat it either ah."

Zhou Yi said, "Be good, eat the food where supplements are."

Chen Liguo looked at Zhou Yi pitifully. Zhou Yi said, "If you don’t eat today then pig brain Tian Ma stew will be made for you tomorrow."

After hearing this goosebumps appeared all over Chen Liguo’s body. Although he hadn’t eaten this thing before he had seen classmates eat it, this pig brain and Tian Ma stew with sugar added.

This dish that he had never eaten before made him feel a kind of faint discomfort in his stomach, so much that he truly shivered all over when he heard it.

Chen Liguo: "I’ll eat it, isn’t it fine if I eat it!"

Zhou Yi watched Chen Liguo wrinkle up his face into a steamed bun and eat half of it.

The teacher that Zhou Yi invited arrived after dinner.

The thing that Chen Liguo was the worst at was English because he couldn’t get a good command over it and recognized too little words, reading was even more painful than reading classical Chinese. The teacher came and gave them two tests to gain an understanding of their English levels.

It took half an hour to finish the test. Zhou Yi got full scores and Chen Liguo flunked.

The teacher said, "Your levels are quite the distance apart ah."

Chen Liguo showed a pitiful expression.

Seeing this Zhou Yi was both angered and humored. He said, "You think it’ll be alright if you just sell meng?"

Chen Liguo said, "Then sell two?"

Zhou Yi said, "If you don’t study well then don’t go home anymore. I surmise that if I tell your mother you’ll live in my home for supplementary lessons she would probably agree right away."

Chen Liguo: "......" He felt so too.

The English teacher assigned tasks for Chen Liguo who could only obediently do what he was told with a sullen face——He was probably the first transmigrator in history who was forced to study properly even with a system.

This lesson lasted until 11pm. Chen Liguo went to the washroom and when he came back, he saw Zhou Yi talking on his mobile phone.

"Yes auntie, he’s here taking supplementary lessons." Zhou Yi said. "My parents invited some teachers over for me and thought that Guo-er could tag along and learn with me as well."

"You’re too courteous Auntie." Zhou Yi said. "It’s just that I thought that the university entrance exams are coming soon and if you don’t mind, let Guo-er live at my place, so some time can be seized on both weekdays and weekends."

Chen Liguo: "......" He could already guess the outcome.

Sure enough, Zhou Yi blinked at Chen Liguo and smiled. "That will do, you speak with Guo-er."

Chen Liguo felt his soul fly away from his body. He floated over to Zhou Yi and accepted the phone.

"Hello." Mother Chen’s voice sounded. She said, "Darling son, Mom thinks that Zhou Yi’s words are very good. Besides, I heard that his parents aren’t there and that he is home alone. You can stay there and accompany him."

Chen Liguo said, "Mom——"

Mother Chen’s character had always been swift and decisive. She said, "Then it’s settled."

Chen Liguo suspected that Zhou Yi had said some other stuff to his mother before he came out. Otherwise, his mother would not have agreed so easily.

However, as for what he said, Chen Liguo did not know. He only knew that he was sold by his mother to the landlord, Zhou Yiyi.

The landlord said, "Pajamas have already been prepared for you. Go take a shower. The auntie has made a midnight snack."

Chen Liguo said, "I......"

The landlord said, "Don’t tell me that you miss your mother now."

Chen Liguo’s excuse was jammed in his throat and he couldn’t say anything. Thus, he turned around in dejection and went to take a shower.

After showering Chen Liguo came out and saw Zhou Yi eating the midnight snack. Zhou Yi told him, "Sit, I’ll blow your hair for you."

Before Chen Liguo could react he saw Zhou Yi come over with the hairdryer and walk behind him.

The warm wind blew onto the back of Chen Liguo’s neck, making Chen Liguo curl up slightly.

Chen Liguo mumbled a bit but heard Zhou Yi gently say, "Don’t move."

Chen Liguo felt Zhou Yi’s fingers gently run through his hair and then gently began to knead his head.

Zhou Yi’s fingers were slender and travelled back and forth between Chen Liguo’s hairs. The orange lights casted on them seemed like a layer of gauze.

Zhou Yi called out Guoguo.

Chen Liguo felt that everything was wonderful like an illusory dream.

Zhou Yi watched Chen Liguo’s body gradually relax and in this way fall into a dream.

He was stunned for a moment then found it a little amusing in his heart. He called out softly, "Guoguo."

Chen Liguo didn’t speak. His breathing evened out.

Zhou Yi knew why Chen Liguo’s grades didn’t go up now. He could fall asleep even like this. Chen Liguo being able to study properly, as if.

However, Chen Liguo had no idea what Zhou Yi was thinking. He was practically falling off his chair.

Zhou Yi was helpless and could only reach out and carry Chen Liguo, bringing him from the study to the bedroom.

On the big white bed Chen Liguo curled up into a dumpling. The youth’s body was still unripe but already exuded a special temptation. The collar of his pajamas was open, revealing his delicate collarbone and fair neck. Chen Liguo puckered his lips. Seeing this Zhou Yi’s eyes darkened. He reached out and pinched Chen Liguo’s face, saying with a light sigh, "Silly Guo-er."

It was a dreamless night.

When Chen Liguo woke up in Zhou Yi’s bedroom he was stunned for a long time before he exclaimed, "Ah——I’m actually in Zhou Yi’s bed!"

He buried his head in Zhou Yi’s pillow, feeling like the whole bed was filled with Zhou Yi’s scent. Chen Liguo’s face turned red and like a good-for-nothing, turned hard.

The system thought that Chen Liguo really was a weirdo. Others would have all kinds of reactions when they like someone but his was simple and clear——To be able to get hard was Chen Liguo’s greatest show of approval for the other.

Zhou Yi knocked on the door from outside and said, "Chen Liguo, it’s time to get up."

Chen Liguo protested, "Isn’t today Sunday——"

Zhou Yi said, "You need to go home and get your bags."

Chen Liguo asked, "What?"

Zhou Yi said, "I’m coming in."

Chen Liguo refused, "Don’t——" He hadn’t finished his sentence when he saw Zhou Yi had already pushed open the door and come in.

Chen Liguo stared at the chicken’s nest on his head and asked, "What bags?"

Zhou Yi said, "Your mother agreed to let you live at my place. Quickly get up."

Chen Liguo: "......"

He watched Zhou Yi walk in and then watched him walk out. Then, he cried to the system, "Tong-er, I got scared soft!"

System: "......" It’s best you get scared into impotence.

When Chen Liguo saw his mother he vaguely guessed what Zhou Yi had said to her.

His mother pulled him aside and tactfully asked if Zhou Yi’s parents stayed abroad all year round. Chen Liguo said, "That’s right, what’s wrong?"

His mother sighed deeply and said, "It isn’t easy for Zhou Yi. Since his grades are so good, learn a bit more with him."

Chen Liguo was confused.

His mother said, "He’s so young but is living along, alas."

Chen Liguo finally vaguely understood what Zhou Yi said to his mother. This person actually pretended to be pitiful in front of her! Zhou Yi ah Zhou Yi, I didn’t think that you were actually this kind of Zhou Yi.......

Chen Liguo said with a bitter face, "Mom, he’s not pitiful, really......"

His mother said, "What child living alone isn’t pitiful. Children without parents at their sides should be cared for more."

Chen Liguo heard this and all his words of refusal clogged up in his throat.

His mother said, "I wouldn’t let my child be alone."

Chen Liguo forced a smile.

His mother rubbed Chen Liguo’s head and said, "Children are all mother’s treasures."

Chen Liguo finally couldn’t smile anymore. He really wanted to say, ’Mother, do you know your treasure really misses you sometimes?’

Mother said, "Silly son, how come you’re crying? If you really don’t want to go then you don’t need to go."

Chen Liguo wiped away his tears with the back of his hand and mumbled, "Go, I’ll go."

Mother Chen and father Chen were busy recently and only came home at almost 9 o’clock in the evening. This was one of the reasons why mother Chen agreed. There would be no one at home anyways, letting the two children learn from each other was a good thing.

Zhou Yi really was smart and had a clear understanding of mother Chen’s mentality.

With a few words he succeeded in convincing mother Chen to let Chen Liguo live at his house and the next day he directly took Chen Liguo home.

Zhou Yi said, "You’re this reluctant to live with me?"

Chen Liguo said, "Everything would be good if there’s no need to study......"

Zhou Yi asked, "Why come to my house if not to study?"

Chen Liguo thought, ’We can do □□ ya.....’ Thankfully he didn’t say it out loud else he would have looked like a perverted uncle.

They returned to school on Monday. Chen Liguo announced in a high profile that he was living together with Zhou Yi.

Everyone expressed their shock at this but what they were shocked about was how Zhou Yi had gained the hobby of picking up trash at some unknown time.

Chen Liguo said, "Ai, how do you all speak ne, where am I trash? Where am I trash?"

As a result, after seeing this he came across the person handing out the exam papers. When they placed Chen Liguo’s English exam in front of him they said, "If your exam is trash then it’s definitely the recyclable kind......"

Chen Liguo looked at his exam and couldn’t refute.

At noon the trash and trash picker went home together.

The trash picker asked what trash wanted to eat. Trash said that they wanted to eat spicy noodles. Trash picker said ’sour son spicy girl’ and said that it was a good omen.

Chen Liguo actually knew long ago that Zhou Yi was the sort who became more lively the more you knew him. However, he didn’t expect that he was already this spontaneous in high school.

Thus there was the addition of a dish called live-caught lettuce.

Chen Liguo ferociously went through several bowls of rice.

Zhou Yi said, "I’m going to take two days off the day after tomorrow."

Chen Liguo asked, "You’re going abroad?"

Zhou Yi asked, "How did you know?"

Because Chen Liguo remembered that this time seemed to be Zhou Yi’s mother’s birthday. Every year he’d go abroad for a few days.

Chen Liguo said, "Oh, I guessed it."

Zhou Yi said, "En, guessed quite well. Want a reward?"

Chen Liguo said, "No studying today?"

Zhou Yi said, "Memorize ten more words today."

Chen Liguo: "......" Would have been better to not guess ne.

There were several teachers teaching them courses. The one coming today was the science teacher.

The evaluation that the science teacher gave Chen Liguo was quite high. They said that it would be fine if Chen Liguo worked hard. Chen Liguo blushed and asked, "Then Teacher, do you think that I have a good chance at getting into University A?"

The teacher asked, "What is your English grade?"

Chen Liguo: "89!"

Teacher: "......"

Seeing this Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Don’t make things difficult for the teacher."

Chen Liguo said, "Ai......"

The teacher coughed dryly twice and continued teaching.

The teachers that Zhou Yi invited over were all in their forties. They had more than ten years of teaching experience and had a comparatively more lively line of thought. Their teaching methods weren’t rigid and taught through interest. It could be considered as enjoyable lessons.

Chen Liguo’s English grades were already improving. At the very least, he passed.

Chen Liguo was very satisfied with this, saying that he had already found the trick.

Zhou Yi told the Chen Liguo who had found the trick to English to not forget to take his supplementary lessons tomorrow.

Chen Liguo asked in astonishment, "I still have to take supplementary lessons even when you’re not here?"

Zhou Yi asked, "You think that my English needs to be supplemented?"

Chen Liguo said, "That’s right, if you don’t need it then why did you invite teachers?"

Zhou Yi said, "Invited for you." His true face was finally exposed.

Chen Liguo was struck dumb. He asked, "Invited for me?"

Zhou Yi said, "I need to take responsibility for you."

Chen Liguo asked, "You need to take what responsibility?"

Zhou Yi sighed deeply and said, "Didn’t I send you a game console......"

Chen Liguo: "......"

Zhou Yi said, "So......"

Chen Liguo said, "Don’t stop me. I’m going to go back and smash the game. Whoever blocks me will be smashed!"

Zhou Yi said, "Even if it’s smashed you need to continue taking lessons."

Chen Liguo asked, "Why ah?"

Zhou Yi patted his head with a smile and said, "Because you’ve already been picked home by me."

Chen Liguo: "......"

Zhou Yi said, "Be good."

Chen Liguo suddenly felt that Zhou Yi’s entire person turned black.
