Lei Ming had just finished talking with some subordinates when he saw the child in the corridor, leaning against the wall while knocking the back of his head. He didn’t know how long the youth had been standing there.
These subordinates were all male and were the impetuous and hot-blooded type. Upon seeing such a beautiful young man, their blood vessels burst.
Without any prior consultation, they all acted in unison, covering their crotches and awkwardly rushing away.
As Chen You made his way to Lei Ming, his mind was only filled with paste. As a result, he involuntarily blurted out, “I want to eat paste.”
Lei Ming asked, “Rice paste?”
Chen You shook his head, “…Not that.”
How do I say this, ah? He scratched the back of his neck, and then abruptly grabbed Lei Ming’s pants. As soon as he made contact, he started unzipping them.
Lei Ming’s brows furrowed.
Chen You raised his eyebrows meaningfully and gave a surreptitious wink. You understand now, ba?
Now that he was beautiful, doing this sort of action wouldn’t induce laughter. He just looked charming and seductive.
Lei Ming’s expression only had a minute change as he learned yet another new word.
He didn’t know how many strange and eccentric things were stuffed in this boy’s mind, but he was always invariably surprised.
Then, the boy started walking away.
Lei Ming followed the youth to the bedroom and just as he picked him up, the child struggled to get down.
Chen You said, “Let’s go to the bathroom.”
There was a crack in Lei Ming’s eternally stoic expression.
After entering, Chen You pointed at the bathtub, “Can you put the paste in here?”
“…” Lei Ming’s thin lips were tightly closed, as if he was patiently bearing something, “Can’t.”
Chen You was extremely disappointed, “Why not?”
Lei Ming’s inborn way with words was truly formidable, and now he finally learned to use it. “The paste only comes out when there’s electricity.”
He said these words with a complete poker face, looking decent and respectable.
It took Chen You half a day to figure out his words. They basically meant that he would need to be stimulated by the electricity inside of Chen You. It’s over, I can only count the days until I’m ugly again.
Suddenly, a thought came to mind, “Then Major General, do you mean that it never came out even once before…”
As Lei Ming turned around to leave, he heard the child mutter behind him, “Really pitiful.”
His figure stagnated, and he lifted the boy up.
Chen You instinctively grabbed onto the man’s waist, hooking his legs around and latching on like he could stay in place even if the man ran 8000 meters.
Afterwards, Chen You asked the system for a needle and thread, took Lei Ming’s uniform, and started poking here and there.
He thought back to those days, when he used to make all kinds of clothes with a sewing machine. He truly had too many talents.
Chen You gave a deep sigh as he embroidered characters on the inside of the military uniform’s sleeve, “Mother is worried.”
System, “…What are you embroidering?”
“Safe.” Chen You tutted, “Do you think I’m like you, thinking dirty thoughts?”
System, “…” Did I say anything?
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.
In fact, Chen You was afraid of being found out. He not only embroidered the two characters for peace and safety, but he also added a smiley face.
Pa kjr j ilaaif fwyjggjrrlcu.
“Mbg atf rjxf bo atlr wlrrlbc, P tjnf cb ybaabw ilcf.”
Vsrafw, “Tbe tjv bcf?”
Chen You, “…” Of course I had one once. I just don’t know when exactly it left me in cold blood.

A golden head emerged from the blanket. The child rubbed his eyes and let out a huge yawn.
Lei Ming asked, “Didn’t sleep?”
Chen You’s eyes were almost glued shut, “Waiting for the major general to sleep together.”
Lei Ming’s heart inexplicably heated up. He laid down and ordered, “Come here.”
Chen You rolled into the man’s arms. The little animal rubbed against his chest and quickly fell asleep.
Lei Ming closed his eyes and took in the child’s scent. After smelling, his headache disappeared and his symptoms of insomnia were relieved.
In his sleep, Chen You’s forehead felt damp and hot, as if it had been kissed.
The next morning, Lei Ming set out. In an unprecedented occurrence, he didn’t bring the adjutant who served as his right and left hand with him.
Catching sight of the adjutant’s depressed face, Chen You felt that he was a fox spirit, bewitching the king and bringing harm to the country and its people.
The adjutant sighed, “This is my first time being away from the major general.”
Chen You sighed, This is also my first time being away from him.
The adjutant stated, “It’s best that you don’t go out.”
Chen You agreed, “Okay.”
The adjutant muttered to himself, “I’m going to go contact the major general.”
Chen You followed along and saw the figure of Lei Ming on the screen. He stood tall and upright in his military uniform.
The adjutant saluted and Chen You followed suit with an air of importance, “Major General, good day.”
Lei Ming seemed to smile a bit, “Un.”
Chen You lifted his head and waited with the adjutant for Lei Ming to give out orders.
Lei Ming’s gaze simply stopped on the youth as he remained silent.
The adjutant felt that he was an unnecessary character.
Chen You saw another man walking behind Lei Ming. If he wasn’t wrong, that man was Wu Wei. He turned his head to ask the adjutant.
The adjutant explained, “Wu Wei is the accompanying military doctor.”
Chen You, “Oh.”
After this ‘Oh,’ he left. It was obvious that his mood was downcast and that he wasn’t happy.
The adjutant’s mind was sensitive, and he noticed something. He reported, “Major General, the child seems unhappy that Dr. Wu Wei is following you.”
Lei Ming’s cold voice rectified this statement, “Wu Wei is not following me.”
“It’s a slip of the tongue.” The adjutant added, “Dr. Wu Wei is serving the country!”
Lei Ming said, “Take good care of him.”
“Yes!” The adjutant saluted, “Major General, do you have any further instructions?”
Lei Ming, “You must keep him safe.”
The adjutant, “…There’s nothing else?”
The other side terminated the connection.
The adjutant took the cap off his head and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He had been working for the major general for many years, but he had never seen him show tenderness to anyone before.
Whenever there was any sign of conflict, the major general would immediately jump in. He was ruthless and decisive. This time, it was different.
He was 80% sure the major general had fallen.
There were so many outstanding people in all aspects, including Wu Wei, but they unexpectedly lost to a child.
This thing called fate was truly not good.
As soon as Lei Ming left, Chen You began constantly looking in mirrors, paying close attention to his face. Without the paste, sooner or later he would wither.
However, most potted plants would still be okay even without watering for two or three days. How could he be inferior to a potted plant?
System, “You need water, you’re not drought-resistant.”
Chen You, “I don’t want to talk to you.”
The old man sent someone to pick up Chen You to eat lunch. On the way there, Chen You asked the adjutant if he needed to bring anything.
The adjutant was surprised. He didn’t expect the little one to know about traditional etiquette.
“I’ve already bought a few things. Later, I will carry some, and you can carry the rest.”
Chen You smiled from ear to ear, “Thank you, Adjutant. You really are a good person.”
The adjutant coughed and sat very seriously. It really was fatal. This task that the major general had assigned to him required a considerable amount of self-control.
When they arrived, the old man started chatting with the adjutant. Chen You walked around, stretching his legs, and bumped into an unfamiliar man who was dressed like a wealthy noble.
Once the man saw Chen You, he stepped forward and gently gave a polite introduction.
Chen You said, “Sir, I have a master.”
“I have a lot of money, “ said the man, refusing to give up. “If you want something, as long as you ask, I’ll give it to you.”
Chen You stated, “I don’t love money.” Lord, please allow me to tell this little lie.
The man was stunned. He directly laughed, “Then what do you love?”
Chen You answered, “Why should I tell you? We’re not familiar.”
The man gave a hearty laugh, “Little guy, you’re very interesting.”
Chen You didn’t understand. This is interesting? I don’t think it’s interesting at all.
The man threw down this classic overbearing president-style line, then left with a wave of his sleeves, stirring up dust.
After the meal, Chen You went out to walk again in order to aid his digestion and ended up finding a piece of jade. He was the only one around, so if he secretly hid it in his pocket, no one would know.
At this time, Chen You finally realized what was happening. Once the dust cleared, it was obvious the old man was the only one who could’ve facilitated these events.
First, find a handsome man to test his loyalty to Lei Ming. Then, throw out a piece of jade to observe his moral character.
Chen You licked his lips. Old man, it’s not that I’m not talking bad about you, but taking advantage of your grandson’s absence to test one of his people like this. It really isn’t good.
The old man was very satisfied, and his eyes were very kind.
Chen You’s scalp tingled. It was as if he could see himself on the day of his marriage.
On the fourth day after Lei Ming’s departure, he was in a meeting and unbuttoned his cuff. Due to this action, he inadvertently saw the words in his sleeve and was rendered speechless.
“Major General?”
Lei Ming restrained his expression, “Continue.”
Everyone looked at each other. Continue with what, Major General? Right now, we’re waiting for your orders.
Wu Wei lowered his eyes, his face showing no signs of peculiarity, but the hands on his legs clenched.
Since the day of his failed plan, he hadn’t had the opportunity to communicate with Lei Ming at all.
In the army, he had to keep his head lowered and not look up. Even when sitting in a room for a meeting like this, he wasn’t able to make eye contact.
Some mutual friends had noticed that something was off and inquired about the situation intentionally or unintentionally.
Wu Wei pursed his lips. Lei Ming, in this war I will show you that my value to you far exceeds that of the child.
On the other side, Chen You was going crazy in the game world. Suddenly, a mechanical sound rang in his mind. He thought that Lei Ming had finally seen his embroidered characters and was deeply moved. The system had sent a task progress prompt.
Who knew that this was definitely not the case.
The system took the initiative to apologize first, but Chen You was already paralyzed with fear.
“Because the coordinates of two worlds is only one number off, an error occurred when the soul entered, resulting in all the information being wrong…”
After listening to the system, Chen You was taken aback, “Then, what you’re saying is that I accidentally switched task worlds with another host, so Lei Ming is his mission target.”
“And the one he’s dealing with should be mine?”
The system said, “Yes.”
Chen You’s mouth was filled with curses. No wonder, regardless of what he did in this period of time, Lei Ming’s Evil value was never affected. It turned out that there was a big mistake from the beginning.
Chen You panicked. Did this mean that the third task world was considered a failure and he would never be able to return home?
He was swollen with anger. “This is all your inside workers’ fault. We’re all victims!”
“That’s true.” The system stated, “As long as you carry out that host’s task, it will be counted as your third completed mission.”
Chen You heaved a sigh of relief, this was as expected, “Then what is that person’s task in this world?”
The system said, “To change the target’s fate.”
Chen You hurriedly asked, “What fate?”
The system explained, “This time, Lei Ming’s fate is to never return.”
“…”
Chen You hehe’d, “444, you come out. I promise I’ll send you flying.”
Luoshenhua: Apologizing to all the readers for a super late chapter, but my work is an essential business and we have quarterly (in April we process things from March) deadlines so work got a bit busy. I should be relatively on schedule for the next two months, but just warning in advance that I might go missing for a week or two in July. Anyways, here’s the chapter! I bet you didn’t see this coming hehe (I didn’t.)
Omg i love it. Poor baby
So, who is real host? is wu wei?
The real host is in a different task world, and I don’t think he’ll show up? The only thing that changed for Chen You is that his mission is different. Instead of decreasing Evil points, he has to change Lei Ming’s fate.
Thanks for the chapter😚♥️♥️♥️
Thank you for the chapter! Take your time~
