Translator: WhenEverIWantTo
Since they lived under one roof, they should help each other when the other needed anything.
Xu Ze had a bit of need today, so he took the initiative to find Yang Yan. Of course, Yang Yan would not refuse. Not to mention trivial matters like these, he sometimes even thought that if Xu Ze wanted the stars in the sky, he would have used every means to pluck them off for Xu Ze.
Xu Ze didn’t want stars. He only needed two things from Yang Yan. One was the 10 million yuan, and the other was occasional physical help.
It was now January, which meant that he was about four months pregnant. Yang Yan has already transferred 2 million to his card, which was received at the end of each month.
For one of the apartments that Xu Ze had set his eyes on before, the full price was about 1.6 million yuan. The small apartment was more than 40 square meters and was finely decorated. The landlord also had only acquired the house for about a year. All the household appliances were high-end brands, and Xu Ze wanted all of them.
After waiting for a while, when the landlord came back from out of town, Xu Ze and the landlord made an appointment to meet and sign a purchase contract. The intermediary was handling the relevant procedures. Xu Ze only needed to go and sign then give the landlord the money.
Since Xu Ze was buying the house with full payment, the procedures were completed quickly. However, the real estate certificate has not been transferred for the time being, still having to wait for another month or so. But the landlord handed the key of the house to Xu Ze. Taking the key, Xu Ze walked to the newly bought apartment, opened the door, and walked in.
Modern people had a high degree of pursuit for houses. It seemed that their heart would only feel a bit of belonging once they had their own house.
Having your own house, having it be yours, had a special meaning.
Before going upstairs, Xu Ze swept around the apartment building a little. As he expected, there was a shop for installing door locks outside the apartment. Xu Ze took the boss’s business card and asked the boss when he had time since he planned to change the door lock. The boss said that the person who installs the door locks was outside right now. They could change the lock tomorrow morning.
Xu Ze thought about it for a while. Anyway, he didn’t come to live here right away. It would be fine if he waited for a few days.
Xu Ze put the boss’s business card in his pocket. He returned to the apartment and sat on the sofa. This apartment had a good location. It was facing the inner courtyard, not towards the outside road, less dust, and a relatively quiet environment.
Xu Ze leaned back and onto the sofa. He was already looking forward to living here after the baby was born.
After staying in the apartment for a few hours, Xu Ze leaned on the sofa to sleep for a while. After he woke up, Xu Ze got up and left. While waiting in the elevator, Yang Yan’s phone call came. Yang Yan asked where Xu Ze was right now.
Xu Ze’s eyes flashed slightly. He lied that he had just finished watching a movie and was on his way back. Naturally, he couldn’t say that he had bought an apartment and had already obtained the key to the house.
On the other end of the phone, Yang Yan did not suspect him. He told Xu Ze to pay attention to safety when he’s taking a car to return.
“En, I’ll pay attention.” Xu Ze slightly smiled. After all, the money for the house was all given by Yang Yan, so his tone was much softer than before.
Yang Yan could hear the little change in Xu Ze’s voice. However, he only thought it was his concern that made Xu Ze feel a little touched. He had no idea that while living with him, what Xu Ze was thinking was to buy a good house, then waved his hand and leave when the time came.
Xu Ze went downstairs and called an online car to return home. When he went back, he even thought that Yang Yan was at home because Yang Yan asked him where he was. The meaning of those words clearly seemed like Yang Yan was waiting for him.
In the end, the living room was empty. Auntie Dong, who was cooking in the kitchen, noticed that Xu Ze was back. She walked out of the kitchen and saw that Xu Ze seemed to be looking for someone. Auntie Dong told Xu Ze, “Yang Yan just came back then left again because of temporary matters.”
Xu Ze nodded, indicating that he now knew about this matter.
An alluring scent came from the kitchen, and Xu Ze asked, “Auntie Dong, what are you cooking? It smells so good!”
“Sweet and sour pork ribs, your favorite.” Auntie Dong would make sweet and sour pork ribs often. After working here for a while, Auntie Dong basically knew everything about Xu Ze’s preferences.

Xu Ze had a good appetite this night. Auntie Dong made all the dishes he liked, and those dishes were especially good. Xu Ze even ate two bowls in a row, eating until he burped at the end.
After dinner, Xu Ze sat on the sofa. He picked up his legs and put them on the sofa. He took the remote controller in his hand and turned to the music station to listen to songs.
Xu Ze rubbed his stomach lightly since he ate too much. He put his hand on his stomach and waited. Most of the time, the baby was sleeping. However sometimes, when he put his hand on his stomach, he could feel a little movement from the baby.
Since that time Xu Ze knew that the baby would play and blow bubbles inside, this situation has been happening often.
Even sometimes when Xu Ze was in class at school, the baby would suddenly become very lively and blow bubbles for a while. That kind of feeling could not be described in words. Xu Ze would press his hands on his stomach during class. His roommate Zhou Xing saw Xu Ze clutching his stomach. After class, he came to Xu Ze and quietly asked him if the thing in his stomach made him uncomfortable—Xu Ze once revealed to Zhou Xing, saying that there was something growing in his stomach. Because it was benign, the doctor recommended that it be removed after a few months. Zhou Xing only knew this, not knowing that the thing was actually a child.
Xu Ze also stopped making excuses, lest after this excuse, he would still need to use other excuses to make up for them.
He nodded as in yes.
“Then go to the hospital for another checkup?” Zhou Xing was concerned about Xu Ze’s body.
“I just went there last week. I go to the hospital every month. I don’t have any lesions. However, occasionally I feel a little uncomfortable.” Both the first and last sentences were true, but the middle one without lesions was false.
“How many months do you have to wait for the surgery? Though it’s good that it’s benign.” Zhou Xing said, staring into Xu Ze’s eyes.
Xu Ze didn’t say too much.
“Do you know about a certain matter?” Zhou Xing changed the subject and lowered his voice.
Zhou Xing had thick eyebrows and big eyes, looking innocent, yet he had a heart of gossip in his bones. Xu Ze raised his eyebrows, knowing that even if he didn’t ask Zhou Xing, he couldn’t help but say it himself.
“I heard that Yang Yan bought a house right outside the school. He’s even cohabiting with a certain boy in our school. You say, is the world really becoming so flamboyant?” Zhou Xing shook his head in lament as he spoke.
Zhou Xing didn’t pay much attention at that time, not knowing that when he said this, the color in Xu Ze’s eyes had some slight changes.
“Who did you hear this from?” Xu Ze asked with a smile.
“The class next door. It seems that one day someone saw Yang Yan driving his car with his little lover inside.” Zhou Xing had a cheerful gossip-sharing expression.
Xu Ze shook his head and laughed: “The final exam is approaching. If you have nothing to do, read more books. You don’t need to score too high, but you need to have at least 60 points right?”
Hearing that the exam was about to take place, Zhou Xing’s originally excited face collapsed. He stared at Xu Ze with mournful eyes: “We are still good friends if you stop mentioning the exam!”
“Then let’s break up!” Xu Ze’s smile deepened.
Zhou Xing was stunned before staring at Xu Ze: “Xu Ze, you’ve become bad.”
After returning that day, Xu Ze mentioned the rumors about their cohabitation to Yang Yan. His meaning was that the two of them should try to avoid going in and out together in the future. He didn’t want to have any trouble. If his classmates knew that he was with Yang Yan, Zhou Xing alone would probably be able to talk so much in front of Xu Ze. Since he lived with Zhou Xing for a few years, Xu Ze still knew Zhou Xing's character.
Regarding Xu Ze’s request, Yang Yan wanted to say no at the first moment. However, facing Xu Ze’s clear and bright gaze, the words of refusal stopped in his throat. Yang Yan’s reply could only be one, that was, nodding and saying ok.
After that, the rumors seemed to fade away slowly. Zhou Xing’s feedback to Xu Ze was that Yang Yan and his new lover most likely broke up. Recently, Yang Yan was all by himself.
Xu Ze wondered why Zhou Xing was so concerned about Yang Yan’s movements, and Zhou Xing said: “He’s our school’s school grass. You don’t even know that the school also has a special fan club just for him, do you? Inside that club is full of his fans. Some people even take Yang Yan as the male lead and then write themselves talking about love with Yang Yan.”
“You tell me if they’re crazy or not?”
Zhou Xing couldn’t help smacking his tongue when he said this. He couldn’t figure it out, so he asked Xu Ze: “You say, other than Yang Yan growing to be a bit handsome and that his family has a bit of money, what other advantages does he even have?”
Xu Ze raised his hand and touched Zhou Xing’s forehead with the back of his hand. After confirming that Zhou Xing was not sick, Xu Ze asked, “Isn’t any one of them enough?”
Having money or having looks, just one of them was enough for many people to pursue, not to mention Yang Yan had both.
Zhou Xing glared at Xu Ze angrily: “What nonsense truth are you talking about?!”
Xu Ze shook his head, not bothering to pay attention to Zhou Xing, who was always full of drama.
No one in the school knew that Xu Ze and Yang Yan were together, so school life was simple and ordinary. Occasionally, on a classmate’s birthday or other things, everyone would arrange to eat together. If they wanted to drink, Xu Ze would find an excuse. Everyone was classmates, so they would not force Xu Ze to drink.
However, in any place, any place outside, even if the indoor air conditioner is turned on, Xu Ze would not take off his down jacket. Because if he took it off, his slightly protruding belly would be exposed. One less problem was always better than one more.
Quickly pulling back his thoughts, Xu Ze sat on the sofa. As he listened to the beautiful singing of the star, Xu Ze smiled faintly. He seemed to have a little impression that listening to more music during pregnancy was good for the baby’s growth.
Xu Ze gently stroked his belly. Speaking of which, he still didn’t know whether the baby in his belly was a boy or a girl. But no matter what it was, it would be a little naughty cutie.
So two dreams this week.
The shorter one on Feb 23, 2022:
I was at a party at a restaurant that apparently my parents owned and worked at. This was a small 7-8 people party where we just ate food and didn’t drink much.
Then when the party was finished, there were two cars to drive us back home. The younger juniors went on one car and the older seniors went on the other. Also, we’re teenagers now for some reason.
Before we left my dad, the main cook, made some soup for everyone to take home. Not hangover soup, just normal soup.
As I made it home, I was the only person at my house. I’m guessing my parents still had to work? I found a note on the ground. As I went to pick it up, someone pushed me down from behind.
He started to ask me questions like “Where is [Something]” or “How do you [Something]”. I don’t remember the specifics. I answered back with “I don’t know” and even wanted to know as well.
Then the person realized I actually didn’t know anything and released me. As I turned around, I saw a very fit older man with a scar over his right eye and gray hair. I could basically see his muscles under his clothes. To put it short, he was hot. But unfortunately not my kind of hot, but still hot.
The person then started telling me about the 5 ancient creatures. The first was Entia(?), an ancient tree that I apparently knew was actually a dog. Then I woke up soon after. I don’t remember the rest but they should relate to the 5 elements.
The very long dream on Feb 26, 2022:
So this was a very long dream that took me some time to write down. This was a weird one, yet very interesting. Most likely because I did cool things in the dream, but still. Also, a warning that this dream gets dark at moments so be prepared for that.
To begin, I was a zombie that could shoot out strings from my hands. Basically zombie spiderman. I also have 4 other zombie friends that we hunt with.
What do we hunt? Of course humans! We hunt them down to eat. While I don’t remember actually eating anyone, I still hope I wasn’t a cannibal. I definitely still killed people in my dream though.
One time when we were hunting near a school, we were almost caught. But thankfully, I called another zombie friend of mine. Then soon, a school bus drove over to us.
The driver was a female zombie with stitches over her body. As my friends and I entered the bus, we saw that there were 10-20 little child zombies on the bus.
We drove around after we lost our pursuers. We stopped in the middle of nowhere when we saw people. Next to the road was a 6-9 group of gangsters huddling around a car. The driver zombie wanted to hunt, but I said that my friends and I will do the hunting as thanks for the help.
We got off the bus and were questioned by one of the gangsters. I didn’t bother replying and rushed forward. I got right next to him in basically an instant and slit the gangster’s throat.
Yeah… I may or may not have read too many action novels with death always involved.
Continuing on, I continued moving forward and shot out two strings, one from each hand, towards two of the gangsters. I pulled them up into the air then slammed them to the ground close to me. I finish them off, not slitting their throat this time.
As my friends took care of the gangsters, there was one left who started running away. I chased and killed them. However, there were people coming up the road.
My zombie friends and I rushed to the bus. One of my friends and I went to the car(it’s there now, don’t ask questions) in order to save time. It’s also because I left some string there since I could reuse them. Even though I could magically produce them anyways.
I opened the front passenger door and scooted quickly to the driver’s seat. I did some quick organizing as my friend sat in the front passenger seat. I leaned out the driver’s window. I shot my string at the bus, wanting to use the bus to drive instead of actually driving. Unfortunately, The bus started too soon and I missed it.
Then, I sort of went back in time. I think I rewinded time to the point where I just killed the last guy. I have even more powers I guess.
This time I rushed faster and didn’t bother organizing. I shot my string and it landed on the bus. Now comes a long driving period. The bus moved forward, pulling the car along. However, because it was on a string, the car kept crashing into things like rails and other cars.
Not only that, the string for some reason also started to stretch out. It’s not breaking at all, since it’s unbreakable I think, it’s just stretched more and more. I had to keep pulling the string more and more in order for the car to keep up with the bus.
Once that mess ended, because none of us zombies actually ate, we decided to go to a rich people’s party. We went and this time my friends and I suggested we go sneaky. We went with this plan as the driver and the children zombies waited behind.
We sneaked into the 15ish people party. I went and crawled the ceiling and looked down at everyone. One of my male zombie friends went in as a waiter. Now it was a view change focusing on the friend.
The friend went around giving people drinks that were drugged. However, one female drank it and got really drunk. The people at the party were suspicious of the friend, but they stopped when they saw that the friend drank it and was completely fine. They just thought that the female was weak at drinking.
The party continued and the friend continued passing around the drugged drinks. This time no one got drunk until every single one got to have a drink. Then the fun began.
The friend started to hypnotize everyone. Using the effects from the drugs, every person because a slave, a blood slave. They were ordered to live in an apartment(to help the environment I guess), continue working, and live their life like normal. The only other thing was to send them blood once in a while.
How you ask? Why, it’s through a portal! The portal that one of my female zombie friends could make all this time!
The driver zombie was happy about the constant blood since this will at least satiate them partially. However, he still asked about flesh. I then told her to just wait. Then the portal opened and one of the people came out because that person broke through hypnosis.
So while that rich man broke through hypnosis, he was in his apartment that was filled with spiders of a variety of sizes. They were all over the floor, the wall, the ceiling, and all the furniture.
The man tried to escape while a really large spider chased after him. He then tripped and landed on a lot of little spiders, which then carried him to the portal. As the flashback(?) ended, I turned towards the children zombie and said, it’s time to feast.
A time skip happened. We were now at a company that we decided to raid. However only I went in and the other went elsewhere, most likely to get more food.
After I got halfway through the company, I realized this company’s security was really strong, as they sent waves of humans and robots with weapons to hunt me down. I was in too deep to leave, so I had to run around as the security hunted me everywhere.
I remember having to crawl through vents to save my life. One time I was in the vent, I hid right over the vent cover, wanting to leave immediately once the robot left the room. However, they were too smart. They opened the vent and shot at me. I rewinded time once again and fixed my mistake.
There was a part where I had to swing myself like spiderman around a floating, protrusion-like building out of the main one. I had to go back and forth, over and under the building to escape the chasers, I felt really cool during that part since I swung around in the air.
Finally, when I reached the top of the company and entered the room I needed to be in, I woke up. Yay.
This was a long dream to write out, being 1207 words in total for this one alone.
Currently TLing Chapter: 28
