“All right, this should be fine ba.” Yu Qinghuan huffed as he took the opportunity of a green light to drag the man across the road and placed him by the curb.
He is already a full-grown adult, yet he had the cheek to say that he did not know how to cross the road by himself. Today, he will be a benevolent person till the end and see what type of tricks that man can pull out of his hat!
The man glanced at his own hands and then at Yu Qinghuan’s, silently standing in place the entire time, refusing to utter a single word.
No matter how much Yu Qinghuan grumbled at the man, he still could not get a single reaction out of him. With his wind ruffled hair, he looked coldly at an old style milk curd store by the roadside and his eyes lit up in an instant.
The North’s winter is extremely cold and arid. At this moment, getting a bowl of piping hot red bean milk curd would be the best thing on earth.
Thinking about this, Yu Qinghuan cast the man aside and walked straight towards that little store. As it was a working day, the shop had only a handful of people. Amongst the people there, there were a few sweet looking young ladies by the front counter, noisily chatting away.
Yu Qinghuan admired the view for a few minutes, then shook his head regrettably. What a pity, sure they were pretty, but they weren’t of the right gender.
One of the young ladies noticed that someone was entering the store and hurriedly straightened herself. “May I know what you would like to order?” She asked. The moment she looked at Yu Qinghuan, she immediately blushed.
Yu Qinghuan was not only good looking, he was also extremely charismatic. At that moment, he was leaning sideways at the front counter, wearing a smile as he raised his head to look at the menu. He had an elegant posture even when he was just standing there.
A few young ladies immediately became demure as they stole fleeting glances at him.
“One serving of red bean milk curd and one serving of durian milk curd.”
Yu Qinghuan took a single glance and made his decision.
“Alright, please sit there and wait for a while.” The young lady was bashful, but did her job well. She skillfully received the order, gave the change and assigned Yu Qinghuan to a seat.
Yu Qinghuan nodded and walked towards the seat by the window.
At this moment, the wind chime hanging on the dessert store’s door began tinkling again. Before he could even turn his head to see who had walked in, the hem of his shirt suddenly tightened and a sense of foreboding came rushing into his heart.
It can’t be……
Yu Qinghuan turned his head incredulously, and sure enough, he saw the man’s handsome face.
“What the hell are you doing?” A few servers curiously looked in their direction. Yu Qinghuan hurriedly pulled him towards the window, and coldly questioned, “Did you think I made you lose face and you want to find it back?”
What kind of good luck is this, it’s definitely a misunderstanding ba. If not, why would he run into a crazy person the moment he stepped foot outside.
The man looked at him without saying a single thing.
The man made Yu Qinghuan feel rather irritated and his voice had a hint of impatience, “Speak? Are you a mute?”
This time, the man replied rather quickly, “I am not mute.”
He seemed very serious.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Yu Qinghuan felt so angered by the man, he could not hope more than to punch him across the face.
“Ktfc kts jgf sbe obiibklcu wf? Llaalcu bc wf? Qjca ab yf oglfcvr klat wf?”

He may not have eaten pork but he has seen pigs run. Yu Qinghuan looked at the man’s attitude of wanting to cling on to him and he knew that the man wanted to hit on him.
His gaze travelled across the man’s face closely, as if it were two furry little paws, tickling the hearts of people. The few young ladies from afar felt their hearts starting to palpitate wildly. However, the man in front of him did not have any reaction.
Instead, he seemed quite confused, eyelashes trembling a little, “Hit on……what does that mean?”
Yu Qinghuan:“……”
Did this person come from Mars?!
“Then, what problems do you have with me?” Yu Qinghuan dragged out his chair, sat down, and proceeded to scoop a spoonful of piping hot milk curd into his mouth. The rich aromatic fragrance of the milk curd washed away the irritation in his heart. Yu Qinghuan sighed in contentment, controlling his impatience and asked once more.
“I……” The man obediently stuck his hands to the side of his pants, seeming like a domesticated German Shepard, extremely well-behaved. He looked down rather restlessly, not daring to look into Yu Qinghuan’s eyes and lowered his voice, “I am lost.”
Yu Qinghuan’s spoon paused momentarily: “So?”
“Can I trouble you to send me home.”
Yu Qinghuan: “……”
Tsktsktsk, young people nowadays have such niu bi ways of hitting on people. Not asking for any Wechat or phone numbers, but instead wants someone to directly send him home. Did that man take him for a fool?
He raised his eyebrows, looking at the man as he extended his clean and slender hand: “Phone.”
The man fumbled in his pocket for a long time, before taking out a brand-new phone and unguardedly placed it in Yu Qinghuan’s hands.
Yu Qinghuan lowered his head to look, it was even the newest model of Apple.
“Password.”
The man furrowed his eyebrows and thought for a while before honestly shaking his head, “I forgot.”
Just as Yu Qinghuan was about to lose his temper, the man seemed like he suddenly remembered something. He lowered his head and began rummaging through his bag. Ater a short while, he took out an exquisite looking notebook from his bag and earnestly handed it to Yu Qinghuan.
What is this? Yu Qinghuan suppressed the anger in his heart, harbouring a “Let’s see what other tricks he can come up with” attitude, and flipped open the notebook.
The handwriting on it was sharp and beautiful. They were very consistent and neat, and showed that the person who wrote definitely has OCD.
However, what shocked Yu Qinghuan was not the handwriting, but instead the contents written.
Phone password, email password and even the credit card password were all written clearly.
He raised his head to look at the man, before exclaiming in his mind, this person can’t be a dumbass right? He can even give a complete stranger his credit card password?
Yu Qinghuan typed the password according to the notebook and unlocked the phone. He found out that the man’s phone was extremely bare; the factory apps were placed in a file, leaving only a single APP which was the navigation app.
So……this person really had a terrible sense of direction? He wasn’t deliberately trying to hit on him?
Yu Qinghuan’s expression could not help warming up. He first checked the recent contacts and saw that it was really clean with absolutely nothing in it. He could only open the navigation app and asked the man: “Your house address.”
The man swiftly reported an address, as if afraid that he’d be scolded once again.
That city was the most high-end villa district. Only the richest would live there. In his previous life, Yu Qinghuan had strived continuously until he finally had the qualification to buy a house there. Regrettably, he did not even have the chance to obtain it before he was inadvertently reborn.
Thinking about this, he could not help but give the man a scathing look. The man stiffened up after seeing the look and uneasily took a step back with his hands still obediently stuck to the side of his pants.
Yu Qinghuan: “…….”
He entered the man’s address into the navigation app and enhanced the page, carefully reading the route to the man. After that, he extended his finger, pointing out of the window: “The hired car is outside, let the driver drive according to this route.”
The man did not move.
Yu Qinghuan: “What?”
The man swiftly glanced at him, before quickly looking down again, all the while having an aggrieved expression.
Yu Qinghuan: “What’s the matter? Speak!”
The man’s head drooped and a tuft of black hair on his head was pitifully blown to the side by the air-conditioner, “I do not know how to take a taxi.”
Yu Qinghuan, “……”
Yu Qinghuan: “Don’t know how to cross the road, don’t know how to take a taxi, don’t remember your own password. Let me ask you, what do you know how to do? Do you know your own name?”
The man opened up his mouth, as if really indignant, “I remember my own name, I am Huo Qu.”
Yu Qinghuan sneered sarcastically, “Oh, you can remember your own name, what an achievement. Do you want Gege to reward you with kisses, hugs and carry you up?”
Huo Qu’s eyes swiftly widened, before his face gradually turned red, even his snow white ears were dyed a shade of red.
“Enough, I will do a good deed today.” Yu Qinghuan licked the last drop of red bean milk curd in the bowl and glanced at Huo Qu, “Wait for me to finish eating and I’ll send you back home.”
After probing a few times, Yu Qinghuan already knew that Huo Qu was perhaps not acting, but really did not recognise roads or know how to take a taxi.
What type of person is able to raise this type of shaoye ah, this is probably what the legends mean by “rich man’s disease”.
He shook his head and was about to reach for the other bowl of milk curd. “Gulu.” A loud gurgling noise came from Huo Qu’s stomach.
Yu Qinghuan froze, and so did Huo Qu.
“No, how many days have you not eaten?” Yu Qinghuan took pleasure in his suffering and laughed. Even his peach blossom eyes formed a crescent. “Here, eat this serving of milk curd ba.”
Huo Qu’s face became even redder, seeming very flustered and did not dare to meet Yu Qinghuan’s eyes. However, he still honestly answered his question, “Since morning until now.”
It was already past 6pm and this person actually hadn’t eaten the whole day.
Yu Qinghuan let out a sigh, waved his hand for the server to bring out a clean spoon and stuffed it into Huo Qu’s hands, “Hurry up and eat ba, want to order anything else? I will treat you to this meal.”
Huo Qu shook his hand and stiffly held the spoon while scooping the milk curd. However, for some unknown reason, this simple action seemed very difficult when executed by him. He often had to scoop for a few times before being able to scoop out a small amount of food.
Yu Qinghuan felt that this was very novel and stared at him with great interest. He stared till Huo Qu’s head was about to start smoking. Only then did he shift his gaze away out of consideration.
Although Huo Qu’s house was in the villa district, it was not very far away. It was surrounded by mountains and lakes and the view was spectacular. As the district was extremely well-known, there was no need for the navigation app. Once the taxi driver heard the location, he immediately knew where it was.
Yu Qinghuan and the taxi driver chatted away happily. However, Huo Qu did not speak at all, quietly sitting at his side with his back extremely straight and both of his hands placed on his knees, as if he were a student waiting for the teacher to conduct a hygiene inspection.
Yu Qinghuan sneaked a peek at him while chatting and was so amused by him that he started laughing.
The villa district did not allow non-residents to enter. As such, the hired car could only stop outside the gate. Yu Qinghuan took Huo Qu’s small notebook and flipped a few times before finding the page for recording contact numbers. He said to him: “I will leave you here. If you can’t find where your house is, just give your brothers and parents a call, let them come fetch you.”
Seeing Huo Qu staring with his pair of black eyes and listening intently, Yu Qinghuan continued to say: “All right, I’ll be going now. You should go back, have a meal and rest well ba.”
After finishing speaking, he paid the fare, pulled open the car door and got out of the car. He waved at Huo Qu before quickly disappearing into the crowd.
Huo Qu quietly sat in the car for a whole minute until the taxi driver urged him to get off. Only then did he awkwardly unfasten the seat belt and prepared to alight.
As he scooted across Yu Qinghuan’s seat, he suddenly noticed a sticker. His hand peeled it away from the seat to reveal two lines of tiny words on the surface: Number 29 Yu Qinghuan.
Yu Qinghuan, Qinghuan.
Huo Qu gingerly placed the sticker into his bag and thought for a while before taking it back out. He treated it like priceless treasure while folding it up and placing it into his breast pocket.

Translator’s note:
UWAAAAAAAA!!! I’ve never written a TN before but hello! Thank you Xuan and Shimmering for being such wonderful co-translators and editors~ The following chapters are so hecking long but don’t worry, they won’t be split into parts. Every chapter will be full length!! Since a lot of people are wondering why this was being picked up again: We’re native speakers who have read through the raws and wanted to convey the novel in the most accurate way as possible. That is to say, we try our best to retain the context. The sentence structure follows the raws as close as possible (but we do edit it if it doesn’t flow well in English), and if there’s any phrases that can’t be accurately translated into an English equivalent, we’ll add in notes for the context! If anyone’s curious about how the process goes for each chapter, generally speaking, either Xuan or I will fully translate one chapter first. Following this, we will cross-check each other’s translations before Shimmering edits it. Finally, we’ll call one another and finalise the chapter to make sure nothing gets cut/changes in meaning. I hope this clears up any doubts/makes sense, haha!
Xuan: Hope y’all enjoy this translation <3 (She told me relay this haha, give her some love! She’s the person who translated this chapter~ She translates every odd chapter btw HAHA otherwise I would actually cry at the amount of work)
Shimmering: see you again next week 🙂 (thank you Shimmering for being a godly editor btw HEHE)
