Chapter 93.2

Face-slapping the childhood sweetheart (2)

Editor: Nadralexe

The next morning, Ye Shaoyun found Ru Yu, who had fainted in front of the door.

Zhou Xu was used to sleeping until two or three in the afternoon. When he woke up, Ru Yu had already gotten up, and Ye Shaoyun was already at work.

Several years had passed, yet Zhou Xu and Ru Yu continued to look at each other with hostility.

Ru Yu asked Zhou Xu to fuck off and to leave Ye Shaoyun. Zhou Xu simply laughed and mocked the other for not only being gay but a gay who had gotten rejected.

Ru Yu was pissed, but Zhou Xu continued, telling him that this house had been left for him by his parents. If one party had to leave, it would be Ru Yu and Ye Shaoyun.

During the argument, Ru Yu repeatedly told himself that he must work harder and harder for his future. He pushed Zhou Xu away, closing his eyes as he shouted, “Go away! I just like him.”

But when he opened his eyes, he realized that he had accidentally pushed Zhou Xu down the stairs, and blood pooled beneath the other head.

Zhou Xu had died just like that, but Ru Yu didn’t receive any punishment. Eventually, he ditched Ye Shaoyun and found his true love.

After going over this world’s plot, Zhou Xu felt that it was simply ridiculous. Ru Yu was a hard worker, but what about the others? What about Ye Shaoyun? Zhou Xu?

He was the protagonist and had been lucky enough to get adopted. Then what about Zhou Xu? If Ru Yu hadn’t been there, then just how much easier would Zhou Xu and Ye Shaoyin’s lives are?

The protagonist really deserved to be called the protagonist. Zhou Xu sneered. However, seeing as Ru Yu was already part of his life, then Zhou Xu must force Ye Shaoyun to decide in the following three days, that is, the decision to throw Ru Yu out of this family. Zhou Xu didn’t want to compete with a kid every day. He also wanted to take advantage of his lover while he was still a kid.

Speaking of, the original owner of this body was truly an idiot. He had plenty of money, plenty of time, and plenty of advantages, yet he remained obsessed with Ru Yu. Had he ignored the other, his life really would have been pretty good.

Moreover, the original owner of the body had really liked the piano. He’d even dreamed about becoming a great pianist who would travel to various countries, performing. Unfortunately, that dream was forgotten after he met Ru Yu.

In this world, Zhou Xu decided to fulfill the dream of the body’s previous owner, by marrying Ye Shaoyun, and even going as far as to “have children”.

Yes, although this world was somewhat realistic, it was still a fictional world. In this world, homosexuals can get married and adopt children legally.

They were also respected in this world and treated the same as everyone else.

There was a saying in this world that everyone agreed upon, and that was “any action taken in the name of love is commendable.”

However, Zhou Xu had to solve one problem: at the beginning, Ye Shaoyun hadn’t been gay. So no matter how many times Ru Yu confessed, he’d always rejected the other. He was never interested in men in the first place.

But Zhou Xu was confident. He knew that his lover’s soul would definitely recognize him and become a clingy person who wouldn’t even want to be separated from him for even a minute.

In his room, Zhou Xu saw his current appearance: a white little dumpling-like head, a pink layer of puffy fat on his cheeks, a pair of big and round eyes, a small mouth, and a round nose, making him look like a smart and cute little boy. His face would easily make people have the urge to give it a pinch.

Anyway, this body was his now. Zhou Xu reached out and pinched his face. But when he reached up, he realized that his hand was slightly fat.

He rubbed his face and felt that his child-like face was way too cute. He even wanted to kiss himself.

However, even if Zhou Xu wanted to act cute, he doubted he could do it. But as long as he had this face, it was enough.

He pinched his cute smiling face again and was about to go to bed.

He... he couldn’t climb up!

His legs were too short, and the bed was really high. Zhou Xu stared at the giant bed and was speechless. Because even a two-year-old can get up a normal bed, it was just the design of this bed that was extremely weird.

There were guardrails on three sides and under the bed were stair-like shelves. Which meant that if he wanted to go up, he must step over this shelf.

This bed was a challenge to ergonomics, it didn’t make any sense!

Zhou Xu frowned and pulled out the memories of the body’s original owner. It turned out that there was a hidden compartment on the left side of the self, which was basically a little stool. This helped little Zhou Xu to get on the bed.

He took out the stool, climbed onto the bed, placed the guardrail in place, and went to sleep.

There was a small window in Zhou Xu’s room. The adults can see the situation inside from the outside, but people inside cannot see anything on the outside. This was specially designed by Ye Shaoyun for Zhou Xu.

In fact, he had already seen all Zhou Xu’s actions outside the door. Including how he tried to get on the bed with short legs but couldn’t, then stepping back to think like an adult before climbing up there proudly.

Ye Shaoyun smiled and then took a look at Ru Yu’s room before going to bed.

The next day, Zhou Xu slept until nearly eight o’clock. After waking up, he rubbed his eyes and saw his fat hands again.

He sighed. Zhou Xu wasn’t really used to this body. It was too soft and too... cute.

Sitting up, he stepped on the small stool to get himself out of bed and then placed the stool back to its position. After everything was done, he went to the bathroom to brush his teeth.

Looking at the cute figure in the mirror, Zhou Xu couldn’t help pinching his face again before going downstairs.

Downstairs, Ye Shaoyun had already cooked breakfast. In fact, it wasn’t really a breakfast, it was just milk and croissant, but for Ye Shaoyun, who was only eighteen years old, it was already pretty good to have this every day.

With a slight smile, Zhou Xu said to Ye Shaoyun, “Good morning, uncle.”

Ye Shaoyun also greeted him with a smile, “Little Xu, come here and sit with uncle.”

After a few minutes, Ru Yu also came down.

When Zhou Xu saw Ru Yu’s experience, he was amazed. Ru Yu was the main character after all. The five-year-old child was very tall, and although he still had a young appearance, he looked more like a handsome guy.

At this time, Ru Yu has only been living here for about a week. It hasn’t been long, so Zhou Xu did not look at him with such feelings.

“Brother Ye, you’re up so early. Morning, little Xu,” said Ru Yu.

Ye Shaoyun smiled and replied, “You’re also awake? Come here and sit down. I’ll send you two to school after breakfast.”

Zhou Xu also said gruffly, “Uncle Ru Yu, you’re awake? Sit across from us. Although you’re adopted, I’ll treat you well.”

Zhou Xu’s tone was too serious. Ye Shaoyun found it very hilarious that a kid could have such a tone, but why did he call Ru Yu uncle? He was only five years old.

Ru Yu was stunned. He was suddenly called uncle and Zhou Xu just brought back the topic of how he was adopted. It was like sprinkling salt on his wound.

Ru Yu awkwardly sat across from Zhou Xu and Ye Shaoyun. Ye Shaoyun looked at Zhou Xu, pinched his face, and said, “Why did you call him Ru Yu uncle? He’s only five, only one year older than you. Next time call him Brother Ru Yu, ok?”

Zhou Xu replied in a very serious tone, “You’re my uncle, and he called you brother, doesn’t that make him my uncle too?”

Ye Shaoyun was at a loss for words for a while. He awkwardly turned to Ru Yu and said, “Ru Yu, just call me uncle with little Xu in the future. Don’t call me brother.”

“Okay, Uncle Ye.”

“Mhm.”

Zhou Xu turned his head and said again seriously, “Uncle, why can he change the way he called you so easily? Then can I also change it and call you brother?”

“Of course not. You’re my nephew, Ru Yu isn’t, Ru Yu is...” He stopped and looked at Ru Yu, only to find him with his head lowered.

Ye Shaoyun pinched Zhou Xu’s face again and said, “Little Xu, hurry up and eat. Do not talk while eating, and don’t speak while sleeping.” (Reference to The Analects)

Zhou Xu nodded and said, “Uncle, give me a kiss and I’ll eat.”

Ye Shaoyun lowered his head and kissed Zhou Xu’s forehead. His affectionate kiss made Ru Xu feel very jealous.

In fact, ordinary five-year-olds shouldn’t have Ru Yu’s thoughts, but since Ru Yu was an abandoned child, he was extremely sensitive.

Speaking of it, Zhou Xu also knew very well that if he was driven out of the house, Ye Shaoyun would still pay for his living, because Ye Shaoyun was a kind person.

However, even if Ye Shaoyun would pay everything for him until he grew up, Zhou Xu would not accept growing up under the same roof as him.

Zhou Xu sat on the chair and also wanted to kiss Ye Shaoyun. Seeing that he couldn’t reach him, he stood on the chair with effort and kissed Ye Shaoyun back.

Ye Shaoyun rubbed his head and said, “Hurry up and eat. I will send you to school soon.”

“Okay, Uncle Ye.”

Speaking of it, acting as another person could be addictive. For example, at this moment, Zhou Xu had the heart of an adult yet the body of a child, so he just pretended that he was a four-year-old, but the feeling of this pretending felt very good. Because he was so young, he could do these actions without being seen as weird.

Another example, after they finished eating, Zhou Xu insisted on being held by Ye Shaoyun because he was too lazy to move.

He reached up to his little fat hands and said to Ye Shaoyun softly, “Hug me, uncle.”
