It was a summer so hot it felt like a boiling furnace as wide as the heavens had descended. Those walking on the ground were ants crawling in a pan. When exhaling, everyone’s breath was humid and created steam.
Chen You ran to the bus stop and looked through the stops on the bus stop sign. Several places seemed too familiar.
Even though he was in this parallel world, he still felt the sensation and excitement of returning home.
The system commented, “You must be happy.”As soon as Chen You heard the voice, he was reminded that he would need to play around with a maniac and immediately turned unhappy.
“Don’t talk to me today.”
The system stated, “This line is currently busy, please leave a message after the tone.”
Chen You, “…” I’m upset with him.
“Just let me be happy. Soon I’ll be forced to be miserable.”
Pacifying his good system, Chen You went to his school. From the entrance to the dormitories, the buildings he passed by and the overall environment, it was all identical to the one he’d attended before.
As a handsome yellow-haired boy walked past while weeping hard enough to create the sound of rainfall, many students shot sidelong glances and started gossiping about him.
Chen You was choked up with sobs, You don’t understand. Laozi can’t control the tears streaming down. My heart is sore.
Inside the dormitory, he stopped in front of door 605, unsure if the trio inside would be the same.
A bare arm and a stomach with two layers of a swimming ring groaned as he came over, “Who are you looking for?”
Chen You turned his head away. It was Wang Yao, Wang Fatty. His eyes widened and his trembling lips closed, unable to make a sound.
Wang Yao tutted, Is this man sick in the head? Has he never seen a fatty before? Why are his eyes so wide?
Meeting his good brother’s parallel self, Chen You really wanted to hug him fiercely. He had a lot of things he wanted to say, but they were all useless. If he really said them, he’d be arrested and accused of having a mental disorder.
After all, this is not the Wang Yao he knows.
Half a day passed before Chen You finally blurted out his own name.
“You’re looking for You-zi?” Wang Yao stated, “Early on, he already went to study abroad.”
Study abroad? How did this world’s me do so well? Chen You asked, “When did this happen?”
Wang Yao observed Chen You, suspicious of his identity and of what his motives might be.
He put up his guard.
This parallel world brother didn't have the foolish look of his real world brother.
Chen You explained, “I’m a distant cousin of his. I just arrived.”
Wang Yao made an understanding noise of assent, “He went abroad last semester. You didn’t know?”
“We didn’t contact each other much before,” Chen You said, “Thank you.”
Wang Yao, a straightforward and frank person, replied, “No problem.”
Chen You suddenly stopped his good brother Wang Yao and took a few final glances. Later on, he would have to complete his task and probably wouldn’t have any time to visit again.
“By the way, do you know how his parents are doing?”
Wang Yao answered, “I’m not too sure. I heard that they spend most of the year abroad and don’t return home often.”
Chen You thanked him again, then leisurely wandered through the school. When he got to the canteen, he bought some of the boiled foods he used to always get and his eyes glistened with tears as he ate. So delicious.
On the way out, he purchased five yuan’s worth of soybeans and twenty yuan’s worth of duck neck at the side of the canteen to eat for dinner.
“So satisfying, ah.”

In the real world, his mom had left early on, leaving his dad on his own.
Their house was in this city and Chen You went back every week to cook dinner for his dad.
Upon arriving at his destination, Chen You knocked on the door and an unfamiliar old lady opened it. As soon as he saw her, he knew that his trip had been in vain.
But Chen You still persisted in asking a question.
The old lady waved her hand and said, “Don’t know, don’t know. You should quickly go, my son will be back soon!”
Chen You turned his head and left. The old lady clearly regarded him as a suspicious bad person. He was afraid that if he didn’t leave immediately, unable to differentiate between good and bad, he wouldn’t be able to leave later on.
As he left the community, Chen You fell into a despondent mood, his earlier happiness and anticipation wasted.
Forget it. Knowing that they were alright, unlike his current situation of being trapped in a hole, was enough.
While Chen You was on the way back home, he passed by the stop for his school and couldn’t help sticking his head out the window to take a look.
This time, he noticed that the name on the school gate was wrong. Instead of XXX Technical College, it was XXX University.
Chen You hastily searched on Baidu and found that in this parallel world, his college had unexpectedly risen the ranks and was a famous school.
Though it might seem like everything was the same, in actuality, it wasn’t.
He caught a glimpse of some staff members at the school gate putting up a banner. When he saw the contents of the banner, it was as if he had seen a ghost.
Just as the bus doors were about to close, Chen You hastily jumped out of the vehicle, pulling out the section of his clothes that was caught on the doors, and ran towards the banner.
He stopped a passing female student to ask her a question.
The female student looked at him, her face suddenly red, “You’re talking about Professor Jian? He doesn’t teach many classes, and there are too many people who want to attend. The school organized a lecture for tomorrow at 1:30pm, but it’s almost impossible to get a seat.”
Chen You’s mind was in disorder. A perverted, insane murderer was not only a successful boss, but was also a professor at a famous university.
Do you really need to play around like this?
He hated exchanging blows with smart people because his stupidity would be exposed more quickly.
After jotting down the scheduled time, Chen You went to the supermarket to buy some adult diapers, following the online suggestions of people with similar conditions.
At the supermarket, Chen You circled around the store, but he couldn’t find any diapers. A small hill already piled up in his cart, but his qilin hand still stretched out towards the chicken feet.
Endure it, I can’t buy more. He left, repeatedly turning his head back before he eventually threw a bag into his cart with a whoosh.
“Not buying any more, really not buying any more.”
Chen You hurriedly pushed his cart away and escaped from the snack aisle. He found an attendant, asked where the diapers were, and followed the attendant’s vague directions to search.
Over there, he found two older attendants leaning against the shelf and chatting with relish.
When they spotted Chen You, one came up to him, conducting himself in a professional manner, and asked if he needed any help.
Chen You was very embarrassed, his face burning as he explained, “I’m buying this for my old man.”
The attendant recommended a well-known brand, “This one is for the elderly. I suggest you buy one that is more breathable.”
How could Chen You stay and continue the conversation? He took three packs and left without looking at the price. He sighed mournfully as he walked. Will I ever be transferred to a rich second generation’s body?
It’s probably hopeless.
Good resources never fell to him.
When Chen You arrived at the door of his apartment, he saw a slim figure with straight hair, wearing a white skirt that was neither too long nor too short. The waist was thin, as well as the calves that were exposed below the hem of the skirt.
From the view of her back, it seemed to be a weak and soft woman.
As the silhouette turned around, the face was very in line with the rest of her body, as tender as water.
Chen You lowered his head to look at his phone and compare the woman with her photo. He had no choice but to admit that the beautifying function was too powerful.
This was the original owner’s girlfriend, Xu Ling. It was fortunate that she came over on her own, saving him the effort of spending extra time and brain power to resolve this.
Xu Ling viciously scolded him, “I called you, why didn’t you pick up?”
Chen You said, “It was on mute. I just saw it.”
Xu Ling came up and linked arms with him, “Ah-Sheng, I took some time off in order to come here. It was hard to have a clear conversation with you over the phone. Let’s have a chat.”
Chen You’s arm got plastered to something soft and his entire body turned stiff.
His brain crashed, “Talk, talk about what?”
This was in line with the original owner’s settings. When interacting with his girlfriend in person, he simply shut down.
Xu Ling let out a little laugh, “You open the door first. Surely you don’t mean for us to stand in the corridor and talk?”
The corners of Chen You’s mouth twitched. If you want to speak, then speak. There’s no need for you to squeeze my arm. He didn’t open the door, reasoning that it was better to make things clear outside. This way, if someone lost their temper, there wouldn’t be anything to smash.
They shouldn’t do it inside. If a cup was randomly shattered, then he would have to clean it up.
“Ling Ling, there’s something I haven’t told you.”
Xu Ling asked, “What is it?”
In a low-spirited, ashamed tone, Chen You confessed, “I wet the bed.”
Xu Ling didn’t react, “Ah?”
Chen You pursed his lips, “I was born with a weak kidney. It’s an old problem I’ve had since childhood until now.”
Xu Ling understood. She was almost thirty, so upon hearing that the man’s kidney was weak, she knew what the implications were.
“Are you joking? Then why didn’t you tell me from the beginning?”
Chen You’s face was full of suffering, “I’m sorry.”
PA——
Xu Ling’s hand flew by, “Gu Sheng, you son of a bitch!”
Chen You stuck his tongue out the feel the inner wall of his cheek. Fuck me, little sister your hand strength is too much!
He is gay. Staying in an unclear relationship with a girl would just delay her life.
Moreover, the other’s family was waiting for him to sell his house in order to make a living. He couldn’t do this, and the original owner had already hung up.
Ai, the only troublesome thing was, the boss of the phone and screen protector marketplace was Xu Ling’s relative. As a result of this, 80% of his work would disappear.
Looking for a job…
Chen You searched up Mingrui Company on his phone. There were some recruitment postings, but they were all for technical personnel or HR.
With only a high school diploma, it would be difficult to enter a good company.
Being a warehouse mover might work. Chen You, with a face of woe, thought that if even that was rejected, then he might as well randomly submit his resume everywhere.
That night, he suffered from nightmares.
The next day, Chen You went to his school and headed to the classroom. Though the door wasn’t open yet, a crowd of students gathered outside.
“……”
Chen You checked the time. The lecture started at 1:30, but he purposefully came half an hour earlier.
Is class that exciting? Enough for people to charge over?
Not long after, a teacher came with a key, “Everyone, step aside.”
Everyone pushed and shoved each other back, their gazes all focused in the same direction. The teacher was very experienced, so as soon as he turned the key, he rapidly moved out of the way.
The scene was chaotic.
Chen You relied on his strength and height to squeeze his way to the front of the crowd and occupy a seat in one of the front rows. He intended to study the target from a close range.
Regarding micro-expressions and the like, he specially bought a book on them and studied hard, pushing through his fear.
At 1:25, there was a commotion at the door before it abruptly turned silent again.
Chen You looked back.
For certain people, no matter where they went, they would always be the center of attention.
The man was around twenty seven or twenty eight years old, wearing a top quality white shirt and black trousers. He steadily walked into the classroom, not too fast and not too slow, and was tall with a graceful bearing.
In the aisle, there was a girl who almost tripped, and he warmly said, “Student, pay attention to safety.”
The girl blushed, “Thank you, Professor Jian.”
Chen You clicked his mouth in admiration at the Mary Sue scene dazzling his eyes.
The target is a fiend in the shape of a tall, rich, and handsome human.
Jian Dan’s lecture was about his own entrepreneurial journey. The classroom was only filled with his calm and relaxed voice. Occasionally, when he mentioned something interesting, he would smile, causing the students to feel as if a spring breeze was washing over them.
Just like in previous classes, during the break there was an interactive activity. This time, it was to let students share their own dreams.
Everyone was extremely proactive, especially the females.
A group of girls from the same dormitory sat next to Chen You and starting from the time Jian Dan had stepped up on the dais, they had not stopped fervently emitting the scent of flowers.
No one could blame them. After all, compared to successful men like Jian Dan, college boys were way too naive.
It was rare to get a chance to rinse their eyes. How could the girls not be excited?
Suddenly, Chen You noticed a line of sight coming from above, startling him. He lowered his head and scratched the back of his neck, reciting, “You can’t see me, I can’t see you.”
“444, the target has found me. Have I already been discovered?”
“Say your prayers.”
Chen You wanted to cry. He simply stared and studied the other’s expression, not daring to do anything else.
Jian Dan minutely smiled as he said, “The male student sitting in the fourth seat on the second row, why don’t you tell us about your dream?”
The rest of the classroom shifted their gazes over.
The only male student in the second row, Chen You, peeked from the corner of his eye, “I don’t want to talk about my dreams with you, you maniac.”
Unable to feign death, he slowly stood up.
Luoshenhua: So…this chapter was actually ready to go out yesterday, but I wanted to do a double release. Unfortunately, I don’t have time to finish editing the next chapter today, but it is fully translated (thanks to a lovely co-tl who joined me 
) and should be released tomorrow! Regarding this chapter, I definitely sympathized with Chen You when he was buying adult diapers. I had to buy some for my grandpa before, and even though I clearly knew no one could mistake that they were for me since they were men’s diapers, I still inexplicably felt a bit embarrassed. Looking back on it though, now I just feel bad about the feeling embarrassed over buying something that my grandpa needed…
Loushenhua, don’t worry. It’s something almost all of us have done at one point – Being embarassed for something natural and feeling guilty later on for ever thinking that way. Don’t beat yourself about it~
(●´ω｀●)Thanks for the chapter!
(˶⸃ ⴰ⸃˶)♡
Broski I think we’d better do summersaults while headin to the door 🙈
I feel so bad for Chen You, he’s just an ordinary person with a bright personality yet his system treats him as if he’s one of those op transmigrator host. I mean, isn’t it normal to panic when every world is basically a dangerous sudden death mode and you don’t get any information?? The system treat this as if it isn’t their fault Chen You is in the shit ಠ_ʖಠ
I feel like Chen You is walking on egg shells everyday relying on this system.
Thanks for the chapter!
不是现实世界卖了还替人数钱的样儿: Chen You is remarking on how this parallel world friend doesn’t have the same foolish (so foolish that he would help to count the money after he has been sold) look as his real world friend. Does this help?
Oooh thanks! That helps a lot! (ˊᗜˋ)
Thanks for the great translation.
Its understandable to get embarrassed. I had to do the same for my grandma!
Hahaha… scary sweating
This quick transmigration is much realistic than others ‘-‘
Are we gonna see a school classroom play 😂
