Dating the Strongest BossChapter 16

“Senior Xiao Chen, I like you!” A girl with braids and tiny dimples on her cheeks blocked Xiao Chen’s way. She seemed clever and had very good skin, giving off the feeling of a little girl next door. This feeling was refreshing and clean, and the girl was shorter than Xiao Chen by a head. 

Xiao Chen blanked out. X5PvuG

When he heard the word “Senior”, he would always think of that person, the one who had told him to wait for him, but had been dead for three years. 

Xiao Chen pursed his lips and shook his head as he said, “I’m sorry.”

The girl was stunned. With one glance, anyone could tell that she was a little miss who had been pampered since birth. She had never been rejected, so when Xiao Chen did so, her eyes reddened. But she quickly recovered and stuffed the drink she had bought into Xiao Chen’s arms, before running away without looking back. 

Xiao Chen was a bit absentminded as he held the drink. He glanced in the girl’s direction and silently clasped the drink.  gI4r2u

“F*ck, it’s Senior Xiao Chen! The real person looks too much better than the photos!”

“Senior Xiao Chen is really so kind! He’s studying design, and his clothes are matched exactly like a celebrity’s!”

“I’m crying, I didn’t imagine that I could meet the living Senior Xiao Chen. I heard that for the whole last semester, he was away at an internship. I didn’t expect that he would come back as soon as the new semester began!”

“Hmph! Such a good-looking senior, see for yourself how many girls peeked at him just now!”

qjsRrD

Discussions rose and fell one after another, and the large majority of those participating were female. Xiao Chen sighed in his heart. He had long grown used to constantly being watched like a monkey. 

Today was the first day of university for the first years, so there were many immature and unfamiliar faces. 

Xiao Chen had a monotonous lifestyle and a flat attitude towards everyone. People who didn’t know him well would believe that he was gentle, but those that did would say he was merely aloof. 

Just when Xiao Chen was ready to go, someone called him. 1EpiBu

“Xiao Chen!” A voice shouted his name extremely loudly. 

Xiao Chen hesitantly turned around.

“You were fooled, okay? You didn’t think that you would be caught by me! Let’s go! Today, all the freshman girls are starting school, so help my club recruit new members!” It was one of Xiao Chen’s dormitory roommates, a rough Northeasterner named Li Guo.

Xiao Chen seldom refused others in such matters, and Li Guo had deliberately asked him because he noticed this. uI tfN

Xiao Chen helplessly nodded.

 

There was a throng of both boys and girls gathered on the basketball court. During these hot days, there were few such scenes in the school. 

“This is too weird, why are there so many people at the basketball court today?” Li Guo was a heavy gossiper and very outgoing. He had always liked to join in on lively things. “Isn’t it simply playing basketball? Weird!” CgnNRl

Xiao Chen could hear the continuous screams and cheers on the basketball court from a long distance away. The basketball hit the ground with a thump, and was followed by the girls’ excited shrieks.

Goal! Goal! Another goal! 3cwH2Y

Xiao Chen’s gaze was light as he glanced at the situation on the court.

“Ah!” Something happened, and suddenly everyone exclaimed together at the same time. Before Xiao Chen could react, he saw that they were all staring at him in horror. A basketball was about to collide with his body.

Xiao Chen was startled and used his hands to protect his head. 

The basketball didn’t reach him as expected. AoxTjZ

A black shadow stood in front of him, having moved so fast that it was incredible. Even Xiao Chen was taken aback.

“……”

“Are you alright?”

Xiao Chen slightly opened his mouth. 1fed6C

The boy had a pair of gray eyes, mature facial features, and thin lips that were perfect. 

“You…” Before Xiao Chen could finish speaking, the boy turned back indifferently and threw the ball he had just caught towards the basketball court.

“Clunk.” Three points.

The audience was silent. Bqe1wl

The boy returned to face Xiao Chen with a smile again. “Senior, let’s go together.”

Xiao Chen was shocked. As if he had lost his soul, he let the boy take his hand and head to a place with less people. Even as Li Guo yelled loudly behind him, he didn’t listen. He could only feel the warmth of the palm touching his own.

“Xu Sheng?” Xiao Chen tentatively said, uncertainty in his expression. 

To be honest, this person, except for the gray eyes, was nothing like Xu Sheng. His overall appearance, face, and disposition were different. But somehow, Xiao Chen already thought in his heart that he was Xu Sheng. Gk1afy

The other party chuckled, “It’s me.” He stopped, gazing deeply at Xiao Chen. “Senior, I’m back.”

A University’s formal post was pushed up again. 

The post’s title was: I’m crying, the school grass and the computer department grass are together. 3TNRn8

Topic creator: Foreword: Don’t look me up, I’d like to keep a pair of underpants for the New Year.

Topic creator: Don’t ask me who I am, I can only say that I am an admirer of the school grass!! My mood at this moment is extremely complicated! Why, you ask? I f*cking saw the school grass being pressed against a tree and kissed by the department grass! (Ten thousand critical hits to single dogs.)

In the beginning, I couldn’t figure out who they were because it was nighttime. It was also in the little forest near the cafeteria, where few would go at night. Back then, I could see two people from very far away. And obviously two men!

At that time, I went WTF. My curiosity was killing me. I thought that the pair had hid because they were too shy, which meant that they would not allow me to meet them. The result? The result was that in the next second, I observed the department grass hugging the cute school grass as they walked out of the little forest! Ignoring me the entire time! I cried! G5MhN8

I can guarantee that the department grass definitely recognized who I am! He just wanted to show me!

Why? Because I have confessed to the school grass before (cold face), because I am in the same department as the school grass, and I have a class with him. I confessed to him in the classroom, but the department grass was sitting by him when I did so! I was wondering then…but I didn’t imagine…

But this is all not the point! The following is!

How do I say this, this is the first time I’ve seen the school grass smiling so joyfully! The school grass has always been gentle and elegant. He is very good to everyone, so good that it almost makes one feel that it is false. But he is exploding in Su, and is immensely skilled at poking girls’ hearts! He has a light smile and slightly raised lucky phoenix eyes, the kind that will melt hearts! But the smile I saw this time was the real smile of someone happy to their bones. When the two of them looked at each other a little, they freely showed their scorching hot feelings!! InNmSv

I’m dead!! Really!! The Su blasted away this old lady’s young heart!!!

So, the topic creator was full of questions and boldly asked the school grass on the second day. 

After the school grass heard my question, he actually smiled again, my god!

He just said one word. “En.” rhvdCe

AHHHHHHH!

Anyways! In short! I love this couple!

 

Topic creator: Yes, it’s me again. I’m here to share the things that have to be said between the school grass and the department grass! dmKS I

Ever since I discovered the relationship between the two, I have been really fed full by the dog food.

Now that it’s winter, I have honestly been accustomed to lovers giving each other scarves or gloves or whatever as gifts.

Please visit chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

But! Do you guys know what I saw?

As the male god of our department! Straight A student! He wasn’t listening in class, and was secretly doing something else! What was he doing? KUXfgs

Oh, I’m certain that you have already guessed what it was! Knitting a scarf!

Afterwards, I watched with wide eyes as the school grass knit that scarf for three whole days! The following day, it appeared around the department grass’s neck! What else can I say???

Is this not true love?

  yVD3Sp

Topic creator: It’s me, it’s me! It’s me again! I’ve come again!

The focus of today’s breaking news is the department grass!!! This man is d*mn sweet!!

Truthfully, it might be because I encounter the school grass more, so I only noticed his actions. In my heart, I had always thought that the school grass was the one who contributed the most to the relationship. 

But today, my beliefs were completely overturned!! qAcGJ7

Many people must have heard of the event today. I’ll tell you guys, I happened to be at the scene!! I’ll recount the plot for you guys!

At that time, our school grass and department grass were separated by about two meters. The school grass was on the phone. So when the car came, he was clearly dumbfounded. He stopped functioning and froze in place.

The department grass was like a cheetah, and that speed, oh my god! Too amazing! He rushed up and pulled the school grass into his embrace, tightly hugging him!

You guys all know about this, right? But there’s actually more!! ekwYCP

The department grass was crying as he held the school grass! I actually saw the school grass repeatedly coaxing and comforting him!

In that moment, really, I thought that their world couldn’t fit anyone else, and they were the perfect match!

I can only say that they will be together for a long time! Unmistakably! I have very accurate vision! Their feelings are too real! Let the others beside them be envious of this powerful love!

T/N: That wraps up arc 1! Did anyone else notice that it started with an online post, and ended with an online post? I was grinning the entire time I was translating this. (´⌣`ʃƪ)

Translator's Note

I read a good article on this type of girl. Search “邻家女孩,是90%男生的一粒春药”, click on the first link, turn on MTL, and then enjoy.

Translator's Note

A goal in a basketball game made from beyond the three-point line is worth three points.

Translator's Note

精华帖, which is a type of post in a forum that is created by the moderator or administrator. Generally, they are rich in content and have excellent quality. The text is original, detailed, and has a good layout.

Translator's Note

校草, school grass, is the boy recognized as the most handsome in the school. This phrase came from Taiwanese students. It originally referred to those who sold herbs at the entrance of the school. The school grass has beautiful facial features, an innocent temperament, and excellent communication skills and academic performance.

Translator's Note

This basically means that the topic creator wants some privacy.

Translator's Note

卧槽, which is meant to be the same as f*ck. Due to the Chinese government’s internet censorship, people can’t type 我操 or 我草 online, which are the actual words for f*ck. So some netizens use 卧槽, which has the same pinyin as the other two. Over time, it has evolved to also express sighing with emotion at something amazing.

Translator's Note

苏, a term often used to describe boys who are very handsome, very manly, have pleasant voices, etc. This kind of boy can easily captivate girls. The online interpretation of the word was derived from “Mary Sue”, the name for any absurdly perfect character.

Translator's Note

狗粮, dog food, and it refers to the affection shown by couples. Single people are called single dogs, and as they need some love in their life, dog food helps them feel better and worse at the same time.

  1. I think you should use knitting instead of weaving.

    Weaving is used when you weave a piece of cloth, like a rug or fabric. And you usually need large tools to do so. Well, you could weave something with homemade tools, but its still inconvenient. People usually knit scarfs, socks, mittens and so on. And you can easily knit everywhere because you only need yarn and knitting needles.

    • Thank you for the chapter!

      Did XS possessed someone I wonder. Then it would be reasonable for him to be missing for so long since he needs to adjust to the body and its life.

      Wish I could see an epilogue to the first arc more =3=

  2. omg i love this novel!! thank you so much crepescule for introducing this novel to us!!! the ending for this arc was perfect and i love it to bitss

  3. That ending is too sweet, though I wish MC and ML could have had more moments together. Anyway, this was a fun arc.

  4. Great arc! But I’m confused, how did Xu Sheng come back? And in another shape? ❓ I’m lost. 😅

    Thank you for the sweet HE of this arc~!

  5. Awwww! I’m glad they had a sweet end!

    Thank you for the chapter!

    Fufufu! One of our comrades has witnessed it all!

    I’m excited for the next arc~☆ This arc was pretty exciting and gory! I love it : )

  6. Ah, I can’t wait for the next arc. The ending is so sweet, I love it. I’m also grinning about the online post too, I wonder what the next one will be about. But one things makes me ponder, how exactly did XS come back? Did killing and driving the people (who did him wrong) make him come back to life? Was that like the price to come back to the living world with his Senior? Some deal with the devil or something? Or did he simply posses a random person?

    • My theory is that since Xu Sheng was the “Big Boss” of the movie, his ghostly powers are far stronger than the normal ghost’s. So he must have spent some time gathering ghostly energy from tormenting assholes to level up, then spent all that energy to return to the world of the living. I probably didn’t get all the details right, but from what I know about Chinese ghosts, the stronger ones can do all kinds of bullshit magic.

  7. Aww, this is so cute! I’m happy for our Senior, I’m glad that Xu Sheng came back, I love that they love each other like that! Also, it seems that they have been through a few reincarnations already.

    Ah, I’m so curious about the backstory! There absolutely has to be more, ah!!

    Much love to the translators! 😘😍

  8. Honestly the bullies had it coming , low-key would be happier if the plot of all of them dieing would be better but eh ,you can’t expect a angry ghost to be merciful , literally fulfilling the phrase , death would be a merciful release .

    Thanks for your hard work ,I do have a minor feedback tho ,the translation is amazing but is there a way for you separate the t/n in the middle of the story or make it distinct that it is t/n cos it makes it hard for me read what is t/n and the story . I think there was a function that other translators used in the stories that the word would be highlighted in red then clicking on it would show the translator notes .

  9. This is so cute! I’m glad Xu Sheng could meet up again with Xiao Chen! Thanks for a whole arc, Crepescule!!!

  10. Is it just me or are the TN notes not working properly? For example: ” The post’s title was: I’m crying, the [tn content = 'school grass']校草, school grass, is the boy recognized as the most handsome in the school. This phrase came from Taiwanese students. It originally referred to those who sold herbs at the entrance of the school. The school grass has beautiful facial features, an innocent temperament, and excellent communication skills and academic performance.[/tn] and the computer department grass are together.” is what I see.

    It might be just me.

  11. This is such a fluffy ending for such a grim arc! I’m glad they ended up being so happy in love~ they’re so cute!!

    Your tling is amazing, and that bit you made up with context clues in the previous chapters felt so frictionless to read, it was great!

    Also, is it just me or does it feel like XS and XC have had previous meetings? Like, in their previous reincarnations?? I thought this would be the first time they’d encountered each other when I started reading this novel but…

  12. OMG , my heart was throbbing

    I was so happy that i almost cried when i read the part where ML cried

    And that conclude the first arc

    Can’t wait for Arc 2

    Thx for the chapter

  13. I can already feel the sweetness radiating already from the online posts…. This bowl of dog food is too powerful ahhhhh

    Thanks for the chapter! 💜

  14. Owww thEY ARE SO CUTE!!!! I loved this CP sm!!
