I used the modern ways of keeping time here, but the original terms were Sangeng (midnight) and Wugeng (3am), which were the traditional ways of keeping time. These terms refer more to periods of time at night rather than a specific time. Sangeng is the period of time from 23:00-00:59, while Wugeng is the period of time from 03:00-04:59.

Joss paper, also known as ghost or spirit money, are sheets of paper or papercrafts that are burnt as offerings. This is a common practice in Chinese ancestral worship and is to ensure that the spirit of the deceased has plenty of good things in the afterlife.
Ahh, the
old man! I´m interested to see what we´ll get to know about him, since you said
we´ll see some more of him this chapter ~
It´s a
dragon again, isn´t it? That would be so typical of these overgrown snakes …
Aww, the
old man is worried about his cat and wants to hurry home and Fu Li is worried
about the old man – cute how he chooses this excuse :3
The old
math teacher is so cute but when he mentioned that it won´t work when he´s
chasing a girl I had to hold back a laugh. Because – Fu Li? Chasing a girl?
Pff, nah he´d never do something like that. I can imagine him being chased, but
I doubt he´d ever do the chasing, he´s too emotionally constipated for that. Or
rather: he doesn´t know enough about emotions to do that xD
Fu Li´s
thoughts are kind of on point, but it´s so cute how confused he is about this
.<
At the
least the old man understands from his reaction that our boy is completely
clueless – I´m kinda happy that he´s invited for a meal though. Especially
since there´ll be a cat. I´m kind of interested how the cat will react to our
dear FL?
Aww, so
it´s a tiny, shaggy, fat cat! It sounds so cute :3
Lmao, it
just instantly shows it´s belly for pets – such a nonchalant cat xD
I really
like their interactions, because we now see Fu Li interacting for a length of
time with an actual human being. It´s interesting to see both of their
reactions.
His wife
died, didn´t she? QAQ This description is making me kind of sad, the house
sounds so empty, lifeless. Kind of grey … he´s pretty lonely, isn´t he?
Fu Li
sure loves all kinds of furry little beings, doesn´t he? And the cat´s reaction
to being able to do anything because it´s overpowered by Fu Li is simply
hilarious xD
‘That´s
my servant, not owner’ is such a typical cat-thing to say – oh my gosh, this is
too funny xD
… what
are Fu Li´s ulterior motives for wanting to learn how to cook?
And the
old man´s on it again with his ‘chasing girls’ advice. I can´t, this is too
funny – especially with Fu Li´s inner commentary. What with ‘On order to be in
the woman´s good graces, they were willing to do anything’ ~
The cat
sure is spoiled – and Fu Li kind of wants to pet it too, doesn´t he? xD
Aww, the
old man really is too cute! He wants to help Fu Li! And … he loves those
doesn´t he? They seem to remind of other times …
‘He
looked at Fu Li as if he was looking at the cleverest younger generation’ – my
heart!
Awww,
he´s so happy that Fu Li´s coming to visit him – he´s adorable, but it´s also
so sad, because … didn´t anyone ever come to visit him? Does he really have no
one? QAQ
Haha, the
cat´s being tortured every time Fu Li strokes it´s head xD
…. I
smell drama. Something happened to the old man, didn´t it? I hope everything´s
going to be alright QAQ
Also: how
did the cat know where he was? How did he know where Fu Li worked?
Nooo QAQ
This is
extremely sad – who´s cutting onions?! QAQ
At least
… his funeral was well-attended? Poor cat though … first it is chased out of
his master´s (friends`) funeral hall and then he´s lost so much weight, because
no one seemed to care about it. And then ‘You´re just a cat who hasn´t
cultivated a human form’ – that sounds kind of mean actually …
And Wang
Zhen is here again. And Fu Li is actually blocking his path and doesn´t even
know why … is this emotional development? O.O
And he
even explains that it won´t do the old man any good – I like him
Their
last interaction is so sad! But … it really seems as if our boy actually had
some emotional development and I´m really happy about it. But I´m also crying,
so there´s that …
The fact
that he can´t even touch his cat and it still acts the same just made me cry
harder. The fact that he looks forward to seeing his wife doesn´t make things
any happier …
Oh? Is he
on the way of experiencing sadness as well? ‘That area didn´t seem very happy’
sounds … really bad when taken out of context xD
His
confusion as to why he feels the way he does is kind of cute, but also
heart-breaking. Because he is this close to understanding why he feels that
way, but he can´t see it because he´s never had a need for emotion…
‘acquired
their flawed tendency to be unreasonable’, huh?
Lmao,
ZQ´s thoughts are way off the mark – he thinks too highly of himself xD
I didn´t
think that Fu Li´d want to borrow money though O.O
I mean –
yes, ZQ´s reaction is a 1000% worth it, but still. What does he need that money
for?
Thank you
for the update!
Okay, something is wrong with this formatting, everything looked normal, when I had it in the comment section, why does it look so different, when it is posted?
I hope, it won´t make any problems … have a wonderful weekend!
The formatting for comments has been a little wonky lately, I have to edit my longer comments to make sure the formatting’s right too >.> Anyways, I don’t have problems reading it, so all’s fine ^^
It really is quite funny when everyone keeps worrying themselves over FL’s love life, or lack thereof, when chasing after girls is the last thing on his mind lol.
That statement does sound kind of mean, doesn’t it? But I’d like to think that FL didn’t have mean intentions… there’ll be more on the cat in the next few chapters!
FL has taken baby steps towards understanding emotions T.T but he still has a long way to go…
The money will be explained next chapter 🙂
Thanks for the comment as usual and I look forward to seeing you again on the next chapter ^_^
Voou. So long…
I’m sad Teacher Yao passed away. It’s 5am and I am crying quietly.
Fu Li, jiayou! You have to ace the exams. Wait, what do you need so much cash for?
Thanks for the chapter ❤
Fu Li doesn’t really need the money for anything so maybe to pay off the funeral,,? They did say that teacher Yao isn’t all that rich and since he’s donating everything I doubt he has money to buy a plot of land for his grave
Thanks for the chapter.
Thanks for the chapter! Oh, a fleeting friendship 🙁
It really did feel fleeting, yet the emotion could be felt ><
aaahh im tearing up while eating kuaci… i love elderly kindness in stories so much… im really glad that this short bond was what taught our mc of grief, i think it’s really wholesome and touching. thank you for the chapter ♡
The scene of Teacher Yao’s spirit and his cat o(╥﹏╥)oo(╥﹏╥)oo(╥﹏╥)o
Esto es melancólico
Gracias por traducir!
Lol Fu Li trying to borrow money from a dragon be like a person trying to take skin from a tigers back 🤣 🤣… a monumental task
I’m literally crying ever since the mother and son chapter. Human life is short but full of wonders.
aaahhh what a good teacher and a person!!
i don’t know why but i’m so sad about what happened to teacher yao when this honorable teacher only appeared on one chapter. i’m even imagining what would happen to him in the future chapters but as just what my gut told me, bad feeling.
🫧🦭🫧Thank you for the chapter~💕
The occassional angst always catch me off guard. Daaaang ninja cutting onions
Thank you for translating 🥰
Fu Li not being a feline Yao confirmed–otherwise he would never make such a blunder, getting the cat-human relationship so completely wrong.
Humans and their flawed tendencies to be unreasonable! Even affecting the state of Fu Li’s chest! 😭😭😭
Poor kitty went from fat to thin 😢
noooo QAQ !! ah! T^T !
at least he’s happy to be with his wife now!
i like how this novel brings up death, in a way it makes it normal, maybe if i read enough like this i won’t be as scared when my time comes 🙂
Agreeing to the above, let's poison them. The more
I feel bad for Qi Lele 😞
has zhu wuyou been suspicious for a long time or d
Is he insinuating that he is an omega?
Spider are cute. Take that back.
Thank You for the new chapter ♡(˃͈ �
