Living abroad as an immigrant, to put it frankly, was quite different from what he had thought it would be.
Chen You had thought that there would be blue-eyed blond foreigners everywhere, and was in knots over his dismal English—he was worried that after leaving the house, he couldn’t even make it home.
However, in the end?
Jian Dan stayed at a big ranch in town, raising a huge herd of cattle and sheep.
Chen You’s days passed by with just that herd of cattle and sheep for company; besides talking to them, he only daydreamed.
Of course, there were times when he had to do manual labour, such as cleaning up after the cattle and sheep, and getting them to “give him some face” by filling up one or two buckets of milk.
After multiple times of being kicked, Chen You had become experienced. Whenever he noticed that the cow was becoming unhappy and about to kick him, he would scurry back with haste.
“F*ck, didn’t you agree to be my good friend just now?”
Chen You then spoke to that cow again, “How can you be like this? We even shook hands on it! Ai~ Just because you don’t feel like it anymore, you just changed your mind like that. This is too unscrupulous, okay?”
The cow rubbed at the green grass with its hoof, ignoring him.
Chen You scratched the back of his head. “ Mother, elder sister—no, younger sister, please be good. At least give me half a bucket of milk, or else I couldn’t answer to the one at home ah.”
Even calling the cow his younger sister didn’t work. That cow was clearly pissed.
Chen You mumbled to himself, “Is it because I pulled at her too hard? No way, I’m a very gentle person.”
Someone then spoke from behind him, “Such an idiot.”
Chen You turned his head and saw a man standing outside of the fence. He threw the bucket aside, his gestures obviously indicating for the other to come over and try it out himself.
Jian Dan didn’t move.
Chen You snickered, “You don’t even dare to come, yet you dare to make such comments?”
Jian Dan stated, “Goading me won’t get you anywhere.”
His next sentence was, “To rely on you for this, there wouldn’t be enough milk to fill a bucket even when night falls.”
Chen You was ecstatic as he happily said, “Senior, I know that your heart aches for me.”
Jian Dan raised his leg over the fence, approaching the duo. “The one I’m feeling distressed for is the cow.”
“…”
Chen You was angered to the point of wanting to bite him.
This cow, really, it didn’t even have an extra tail or hoof, but this sort of treatment was really like heaven and earth.
When it was Chen You milking her, the cow acted like a tigress. If he were any slower, he would have been kicked long ago.
Yet, when Jian Dan was the one to milk her, hmph, that same cow was excessively gentle, just like a kitten.
Chen You couldn’t accept this reality. “The difference in behaviour is too glaring. It doesn’t make any sense.…”
The system replied, “It’s because he’s more handsome than you.”
Chen You pouted. “No wonder. This junior cow sister is actually a “face-con.”
He then rubbed his face. “I’m not too bad-looking either ah. I’ve been using face masks daily before sleeping.”
The system retorted, “Don’t even mention applying face masks. Even if you “ate them” , you wouldn’t even catch up to the other person.”
Chen You, “…”
He glanced at the side-profile of the other guy. Okay, okay, he was truly handsome, really captivating—he totally had that mature, hunky attractiveness.

Chen You continued, “It’s really not an issue. I won’t learn it.”
Also, it wasn’t even something worth mastering. It was just using two hands to grab it at the same time—this was something that he also knew.
The next moment, the cow demonstrated its might. Chen You was completely caught off guard. He was slapped by its tail.
Jian Dan frowned. “I told you to stay further away from me, you just wouldn’t listen.”
Chen You rubbed his arm, feeling wronged. “If you had been clear about it, nothing would have happened!”
Jian Dan furrowed his brows. “You’re blaming me now?”
Chen You pointed at the cow. “I’m blaming it!”
“This face-con world, it’s really too much.” He surrendered. “Fine, this junior cow sister, I won’t be bothering you on your date with the pretty boy anymore!”
Pretty boy? Date? Jian Dan looked at the “junior cow sister”, shaking his head.
There was a lake at the back of the ranch. The water was exceptionally clear—whenever Chen You walked past it, he would go over and use it as a mirror to tidy his hair.
“How’s the mission progress so far?”
The system didn’t reply.
Chen You looked about on the ground, eventually picking up a rock that was neither too big nor small.
He leaned back, then swung his whole arm. The rock flew from his hand, carving out a beautiful arc through the air as it reflected sunlight in the form of rainbow-hued rays. It then skidded on the water’s surface, creating three splashes before sinking.
Even after he had thrown multiple stones, the system still hadn’t replied.
Chen You laid on the lush green field. “Dear, I’ve prepared myself mentally. Just say it.”
The system then calculated, “At present, you’ve only obtained 5.2 evil points. There are still 4.8 points left.”
Chen You was cheerful. “You don’t have to be so pessimistic about it; I thought that I haven’t even gotten half. This isn’t too bad.”
He crossed his ankle over his knee, shaking it every once in a while. “However, I still don’t quite like this number.”
The system stated, “Then work harder.”
Chen You picked a blade of grass, putting it into his mouth. “I also want to, ah, but Jian Dan doesn’t want to play with me. What can I do?”
The system suggested, “You can try to take a piss.”
Chen You replied, “That overused method is completely ineffective against the current Jian Dan. Just two days ago, he stumbled upon me peeing—aiyo, you just didn’t witness it. He left so quickly; It was as if he saw something disgusting.”
The system asked, “You confirmed with your own eyes that he felt disgusted?”
Chen You recalled the scene and responded after some thought, “Actually, no, he just whooshed around. I didn’t even get to look at his face.”
The system said nothing.
A blue butterfly idly flew over from the left into his field of vision. It fluttered around the field, stopping on a wild flower every now and then—its beauty truly made people feel amazed at the diversity of nature.
Chen You couldn’t resist humming a warning to it, “Precious, fly slowly – be careful of the crystal blue lake water ahead…”
The system, “…” Chen You’s mood was too good to even be described with words—his worries never lasted a day. The following day, he would be as lively as usual again.
Chen You did a kip-up, jumping up directly from the grass. He then ran to the vegetable garden.
Cucumbers and tomatoes were now in season, this year’s harvest being especially bountiful. The produce looked very promising as they dangled heavily from the vines.
Chen You used a pair of scissors to cut off a bright-red tomato. Big Boss Jian( in this case, big boss is a term of endearment used to show that this person is someone whose needs Chen You “has” to satisfy, like he’s the worker and Jian Dan the boss) loved to eat stir-fried tomato with scrambled eggs. He especially loved to drink the soup, and he could eat another bowl of rice with it.
After harvesting some tomatoes, Chen You cut off some cucumbers too. These were all planted by the Big Boss himself: from digging to fertilizing the plants, he did all of them single-handedly.
Chen You also didn’t know what grade the vegetable was—anyhow, when he ate it, it had the taste of a cucumber, and it didn’t taste like a luffa*.
“The weather is pretty good today. I’ll make some dried yardlong beans, ba. After sun-drying it, I’ll also cook up some pork belly—Jian Dan likes to eat those.”
The system commented, “All you ever talk about is Jian Dan.”
Chen You replied, “He’s my mission target, after all.”
The system stated, “It’s all good as long as you don’t get your feelings mixed up.”
“How do I even get it mixed up, ah? I’m not the one who lost my memories. Relax, I’m someone who wants to go home.”
Chen You plucked the yardlong bean. “444, are you capable of eating? If you can, just tell me your favourite dishes, and I’ll make some for you ah.”
The system answered, “I can’t.”
Chen You sympathised with the system for half a second. “How pitiful.”
Chen You returned from the vegetable garden and washed his hands. Then, he took out a carton of fresh milk from the fridge, bending his body to fit in the rocking chair as he began to drink from the carton.
His favourite time of day would be in this moment when he felt extremely content.
This was the life he’d always wanted to have.
To have an inexhaustible supply of milk, fresh vegetables and fruits, and a comfortable rocking chair. When he stepped out the door, what greeted him would be clear blue skies and a rural environment with cows and sheep—it was simply splendid.
To put it this way, he really had Big Boss Jian to thank for giving him the opportunity to live out his ideal life.
Just as Chen You had drunk half of his milk, the man he’d been thinking about carried a bucket home.
Just as he passed the door, he spoke, “Come down.”
Chen You pretended to be deaf.
Jian Dan then said, “So will you be removing your shoes yourself, or will you be removing your person along with the milk as you leave?”
Chen You pouted. “So fierce.”
He removed his shoes. “You were much cuter as a pervert.”
Jian Dan tilted his head. “What are you mumbling about?”
Chen You replied, “The milk was tasty.”
Jian Dan carried the bucket away, then returned, “Get me a carton as well.”
Chen You retorted, “The fridge is closer to you.”
Jian Dan steadily stared at him.
Chen You finally rolled his eyes. Okay, you’re the lord around here.
He placed the unfinished carton of milk on the table and bent over to put on his shoes. When he returned with the milk, he noticed that his carton was missing.
“Where did mine go?”
Jian Dan responded, “I threw it away.”
Chen You stared at him. “I haven’t even finished it. That’s such a waste!”
Jian Dan crossed his legs. “You didn’t say anything, so how would I know that you weren’t done with it?”
Chen You was speechless. “You should’ve been able to feel that there was some milk left ah.”
Jian Dan replied, “I didn’t have that feeling.”
Chen You, “…”
He resembled an angry little bird as he kicked the leg of the table.
Jian Dan said, “Go on, kick it again.”
If I kicked it again just because you asked me to, doesn’t that mean I’ve lost face? Chen You didn’t kick again.
Jian Dan massaged his temples. “I’ve said it multiple times. I really don’t remember you anymore, so you don’t have to stay here with me.”
Chen You grimaced. “I’ve also said it many times as well. I won’t leave you.”
Jian Dan drank the milk. “Suit yourself.”
Chen You sat on the rocking chair again, looking at his phone. He went onto the school’s forum and looked about, leaving some “I was here before it was cool”-esque comments on the funnier posts.
The college he knew from the real world was now a famous university in this mission world. However, the topics discussed by the students were similar. They were all interesting topics for students who were still in their springtime of youth.
“The f*ck, this SB confessed to the girl he liked and gave her 502 glue.Don’t you think it’s too amusing?”
Jian Dan asked, “Why glue?”
When Chen You heard the interest in his voice, he immediately replied, “It’s for them to stick together so that they’d be together forever ah.”
Jian Dan commented, “Then he should’ve bought superglue.”
Chen You, “…”
He roared with laughter, “HAHAHAHA!”
Jian Dan went to sit on the sofa that was further away.
Chen You laughed so much until he was breathless and aching. He clutched his stomach as he rolled about, muttering “aiyo” in pain.
Jian Dan simply walked off.
Chen You shouted at his retreating back. “Come back for dinner ba! I’ve just harvested some vegetables from the garden.”
Jian Dan didn’t look back. “I’m fine with anything.”
Chen You harrumphed.
Please, like hell you’re fine with anything.
You won’t eat this, you won’t eat that—you’re such a picky eater; It’s a wonder that you even grew so tall in the first place.
After scrolling through some forums on the sofa, Chen You had the urge to take a nap. However, who knew that he would end up sleeping so soundly. When he came to, there was a blanket on him. “444, you’re the one who laid it on me?”
The system said, “I still don’t have that ability at present.”
Chen You was stunned. The only person left would be Jian Dan ah. They were the only ones in this place besides that herd of cattle and sheep—since this was something the system couldn’t accomplish, the cattle and sheep were definitely more unlikely to have done so.
He hugged the blanket as he clumsily went up the stairs, knocking on the door of the bedroom located in the western part of the house. “Senior.”
There was no response from the bedroom.
Chen You reached out his hand. He just wanted to try his luck since he knew that Jian Dan was the type who locked his doors. Unexpectedly, the door moved with just a light touch. He blinked, hesitating for a bit before he eventually pushed the door open, entering the room.
There was no one in the room.
“That’s strange. Where could he be…?”
Just as Chen You finished mumbling to himself, Jian Dan came out of the washroom. Chen You’s eyes bulged—he hadn’t seen Jian Dan in his birthday suit for only half a year, so why did he feel that… En, he was really more handsome somehow.
Jian Dan’s face turned black as he swiftly wrapped himself in the bathrobe draped on the chair. “What are you doing here?”
Chen You shook himself out of his starstruck reverie, fumbling with a response as he rambled, “I’m preparing dinner, ma. I wanted to ask if you had any special requests for tonight’s soup. Do you want it to be vegetarian, or do you want it to have some meat? If you want to have meat in it, then I’ll have to make further preparations, or it wouldn’t be thoroughly cooked, then wouldn’t it…”
Jian Dan’s brows were knitted together. “I’ve already said that I’m fine with anything.”
Chen You made an innocent face. “I only asked you about the dishes for dinner, not the soup.”
Jian Dan tied up his bathrobe into a knot. “Get out.”
Chen You retreated. “This lowly one will obey.”
When he closed the door, it felt as though he heard something like laughter. It should be his hallucination, ba. Ever since Big Boss Jian lost his memories, he seemed to have changed his face and lost his ability to laugh.
He’s playing you and the system knows it too!!
🤣🤣🤣
I would like to say CY is really naive and believes that JD lost his memory but I also feel like he is acting like he believes JD lost his memory just to make JD happy.
You will find out soon lol
