My Underachieving Seatmate Doesn't Need Any ComfortingChapter 107

Chapter 107

Qiao Shao felt that was both funny and distressing. “Well, wake up. Do you know where you are?” If this was like a dream then he was going to feel like he was dreaming for a very long time. uLDSTQ

After waiting for a while, He Shen unexpectedly didn’t reply. Qiao Shao sent him another message. “What’s the matter?”

Still no reply… Did he go take a shower?

Qiao Shao was a little tired after a whole day of activity so he threw down his phone and took a shower.

Even if He Shen went to take a shower, he would have sent a message first. The reason why he failed to return the message was because someone had knocked on his door. RYBpdg

He put down his cell phone to open the door. Qiao Zongmin looked at him. “You haven’t washed up yet?”

He Shen immediately said, “I will in a while.”

Qiao Zongmin sized him up and he was inwardly quite satisfied. Compared with the Xie Shen, who handled everything so flawlessly in the Xie Family house, this He Shen who found it hard to conceal his nervousness was much more charming.

He’s just seventeen, he should act a bit like a youngster.

Qiao Zongmin entered the room and asked him, “Does it suit your taste?”

He Shen said, “It’s very nice.”

Qiao Zongmin said, “I had it furnished based on Qiao Shao’s room. If there’s something that doesn’t suit your taste, you can just let me know.”

It was just like Qiao Shao’s. What could He Shen be unhappy with? Gf2FLp

He shook his head and repeated, “It’s all very nice.”

Qiao Zongmin’s manner turned a lot gentler. He sat on the high-back chair by the window. “I hope you’re not about to sleep yet.”

He Shen knew that he had something to discuss with him and said, “Not yet.”

Qiao Zongmin gave a quick nod and said, “Sit.” QDVFiN

He Shen sat on the bed, his back straight, like a child listening to the teacher.

If anyone in the Xie Family saw him acting like this, their jaws would drop from astonishment. When has their family’s prodigy ever been this ill at ease? Even when faced with the harsh and strict Xie Yongyi, he was always relaxed, he would never make a fool of himself.

But right now, unprecedentedly, he felt very nervous. It’s because he attached value to it that he was nervous. The happiness he has aspired for so many, many years was right under his nose. Who wouldn’t be flustered?

Qiao Zongmin smiled and said, “I have accepted your relationship. I’m not going to make things difficult for you again.” YHh8dp

He Shen’s heart warmed up and he said, “Thank you.”

Qiao Zongmin said, “There’s no need to be so polite between family. I never asked Shao Shao to be overly polite with me as his father. Our family doesn’t care about those things. We’re relatives but also friends. So you don’t need to adhere to traditional protocol either.”

These words made He Shen’s heart warm up even more and he didn’t know how to respond.

In the end, Qiao Zongmin wasn’t the sentimental type, and he wasn’t here to comfort He Shen—his son was already doing such a good job of coaxing this stinky boy, what need did he have to do it! 2BP1wh

Even if his lover was someone of the same sex, it didn’t matter. tMaKlk

Remaining alone would be too lonely. His parents wouldn’t be able to accompany him all his life. It would be perfect he could find his other half.

“So,” Qiao Zongmin said, “Your gender is not a problem with me, and I am more worried about your family.”

He Shen had vaguely guessed why Qiao Zongmin wanted to talk with him alone. Most likely, it was to discuss about the Xie family.

He Shen said, “I won’t get Shao Shao involved.” E29FDe

Qiao Zongmin got right to the point and asked, “Are you willing to abandon the Xie family?”

He Shen gave a resolute and decisive answer. “Yes.” He’s never cared about the Xie Family and he’s never regarded them as family. Although his mother committed suicide, in He Shen’s heart, she had been engulfed by that family.

Qiao Zongmin stared at him. “Although the Xie family has been on the decline in recent years, its assets …”

He Shen said, “I know, I read the latest earnings reports.” nPz5A

Qiao Zongmin said, “You don’t want any share of that?”

He Shen said, “I only want to break away from them.”

Qiao Zongmin bent his lips and smiled. “So young.”

There was a bit of mockery in these two words, but there was also a bit of admiration, allowing people to make out this thoughts. 4ML10i

He Shen looked at him.

Qiao Zongmin said, “You must control the Xie clan if you want to break away from them.”

He Shen understood clearly in his heart, but …

Qiao Zongmin said, “Maintain a relationship with them while you’re still a minor. Don’t shed all pretenses of cordiality yet.” EG6zRT

The space between He Shen’s brows wrinkled. There was a rarely heard childish tone in his voice. “I don’t want them to continue enjoying the privilege of power and wealth.”  Once he inherited the Xie family, he would have enough capital to toss them about. He wanted to cause trouble and have the Xie family go bankrupt. He wanted these worms to fall from their spot in the clouds and to roll around in the mud.

He didn’t care about the Xie Family’s assets and their worldly possessions. As long as he worked hard, he could make a fortune just as big as their Xie Family’s!

Qiao Zongmin’s expression unexpectedly became more and more relaxed. He liked He Shen’s childish manner. In the first place, youngsters had no business acting like adults. If they did, what was there left for adults to do?

He said, “What you’re doing is called attacking the enemy with a thousand and damaging yourself with eight hundred.” oDu15U

He Shen went silent.

Qiao Zongmin said, “Why do you insist that they suffer?”

He Shen’s lips pressed thin, and he was even more unwilling to speak.

Qiao Zongmin said slowly, “Do you know what pengsha means?” N6f3De

He Shen was stunned.

Qiao Zongmin patted him on the shoulder and said, “There are a lot more ways to make them eat their own bitter fruit. There’s no need to either kill the fish or let the net split.”

He Shen looked at him. “Mr. Qiao …”

Qiao Zongmin said, “Don’t worry, wait until you are an adult and take your time. As long as you prescribe the right medicine for an illness, the wicked will be ground down by evil alike.” Cl48Rd

Qiao Shao finished taking a bath. He blow dried his hair and went to check on his phone.

Huh? He Shen hasn’t replied to his message yet?

Could it be that he’s already fallen asleep? Impossible, he’d tell him first.

But he was in his home, what could have happened? It couldn’t be that he fainted from all these happy events occurring all at once, right! Xve9 t

Was He Shen that weak?

Qiao Shao decided to just give He Shen a call. But He Shen had put it on silent and wouldn’t even know that there was a phone call without looking at the phone.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Qiao Shao couldn’t sit still. He wanted to go downstairs to see.

This was He Shen’s first night here! He can’t let anything happen! UPw Xs

Qiao Shao moved quietly, fearing that he would run into his dad. When he descended the stairs, he wanted to do so on tiptoe, fearing that Da Qiao, with his exceptional hearing, would hear him and catch him …

Qiao Shao breathed a sigh of relief when successfully reached the first floor. Good…he hadn’t attracted Da Qiao’s notice. He could go look for He Shen.

He carefully moved to stand before He Shen’s door. Qiao Shao gently knocked on the door.

The two people in the room, who were seriously discussing business, suddenly went quiet. p7nKCW

Qiao Zongmin raised his eyebrows. He Shen sat upright and still.

President Qiao, who had been enthusiastically “teaching” He Shen how to handle matters, was instantly unhappy. At this time, who else could be knocking on the door? What could Qiao Shao Shao be doing knocking at his door at this hour?

Qiao Zongmin warned He Shen, “Even if he pesters you, you are not allowed to join him!”

He Shen’s heart shivered and he said solemnly, “I wouldn’t…” gHwUZ1

I wouldn’t, my ass! I was young once too!

Qiao Zongmin stood up and opened the door. Qiao Shao wasn’t expecting to see his dad and he took two involuntary steps back in fright.

Qiao Zongmin stared at him.

Qiao Shao said, throat dry, “Dad, why are you here?” DJRvCN

Qiao Zongmin asked him back, “What are you doing here when you should be asleep?”

Qiao Shao had legitimate reasons but he had been so scared that he couldn’t say anything.

Qiao Zongmin carried him in his arm and said, “Go back to bed.”

Qiao Shao: “Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh …” He saw He Shen in the room, and he finally relaxed and he could speak properly. “I came to look for He Shen.” dNSLIK

Qiao Zongmin said, “What’s there to look at?”

Qiao Shao said, “I sent him a message but he didn’t reply even after a long time. I wanted to make sure that nothing has happened to him …”

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Qiao Zongmin’s tone relaxed somewhat, “I was just talking to him.”

Qiao Shao was curious again. “Talking about what?” zg8lJS

Qiao Zongmin pushed him back to his bedroom and said, “Nothing you need to worry about.”

Qiao Shao: “???

Qiao Zongmin said, “Now go to sleep.”

Qiao Shao was relieved when he learned that He Shen was fine. But he was very curious. “What were you two talking about?” v9gDL7

Qiao Zongmin wouldn’t tell his son about these filthy matters. He raised his eyebrows, “Are you going to sleep or not?”

Qiao Shao had a thought and he closed the door, saying. “Sleep! Sleep!”

Tsk, if Da Qiao won’t tell him, then he’ll just ask He Shen!

Qiao Shao picked up his phone again and saw that He Shen had replied. “I’m fine, but the phone was on silent.” jJEWrO

Qiao Shao didn’t care about this. He quickly asked, “What did my dad talk to you about?”

He Shen paused and sent back, “Some important things.”

Qiao Shao was itching with curiosity. “What’s the matter? Tell me.” He was dying from curiosity here!

He Shen was now in a good mood, the world in front of him was suddenly bright, and he went back to his usual self. “Well … xSBhca

Qiao Shao urged him. “What?”

He Shen sent him a voice message. “You know, just some important discussions about marriage.”

Qiao Shao: “…………………………”

  1. Lmaoo “just some important discussions about marriage” sure sweety sure

  2. DA QIAO IS SUCH A GOOD DAD ISTG!!! Honestly, this isn’t my first time seeing a supportive parent, but I don’t think I’ve seen one like him. sighs He’s such a family man, and a really good one at that. Really the MVP of recent chapters.

    I love how he just coolly accepts He Shen Shen in to the family and gives him advice. We need more men like him in this world! (And in novels)

    And lmao @ Qiao Shao getting caught while sneaking around xD

    Thanks for the chapter! 🙂

  3. Boss Da Qiao, leveling up the Demon Lordling. XD

    It like, “If you’re gonna marry my baby, you must be stronger and more vicious than me. Let me show you the way…”

  4. Pfft He Shen Shen return to his old self heh

    Seeing him acting like his age really is nice. Having a reliable adult guiding him properly for once is really really nice sigh

    Somehow I want him to call Da Qiao dad lol

    Thank you for the chapter~

  5. The dad is very rational for a webnovel dad character. Especially a BL webnovel, lmao

  6. Someone give Da Qiao best dad award!!! Of course talking about marriage ah~ Xiao Qiao Shao your dad is marrying you off!!

    Thanks for the chapter -3-

  7. Too cute. TOO CUTE! 💘💗💖 I never saw such a cute side to He Shen before. Qiao Shao is just always cute. Long Qi writes the best characters.

    If you think about it Da Qiao throwing an ashtray at He Shen and then getting over it and accepting their relationship was pretty darn tolerant (even though that scene briefly hurt my heart), given what he’s experienced from losing his wife and briefly his son–and then needing to help his son with his trauma.

    I love this story, thank you for the chapter! 💕

  8. ” just some important discussions about marriage”. I mean, he isn’t exactly wrong. Those discussions are important to maintain their relationship and happy life lol. Thanks for the chapter!

  9. So so happy that Qiao Zongmin and Qiao Shao is giving He Shen Shen a semblance of a family ;____; after being deprived of that feeling for so many years !!!! AAAAAAAA I’m really really feeling so happy for He Shen Shen QAQ……

    also LMAO marriage….. i guess you can consider that when you finish settling the Xie Family…..

    Thanks for the chapter!!!

  10. Comrade Da Qiao will help He Shen tackle the Xie family. Aww, lovely that He Shen also has people supporting him out of his troubles. He’s not alone 🥺

    Thanks for the chapter 💕
