KKEIGHTY: Special thanks to Flowersky‘s ko-fi donations! (Extra Chapter 3/4)
He Yu remembered that, when he was in college, he read a book about the development history of Lingyun. It was written by a reporter. At that time, Lingyun was portrayed as an industry myth. And the person standing at the top of this myth is Ling Qiang.
It was then that He Yu began to admire Ling Qiang and then longed for Lingyun. If possible, he would prefer that Qiao Mudong was not Ling Qiang’s son, so that instead of being looked at with contempt by Ling Qiang like now, he could keep a distance from him and maintain the tall and serious image of Ling Qiang in his mind for a long time.
He Yu leaned against the balcony and smoked carelessly. Qiao Mudong seemed to be doing just fine since he didn’t even bother to call him again. However, at the moment, He Yu’s heart was still tightly clenched. He was most worried that Qiao Mudong would be taken back to jail.
When he put out the cigarette butt, He Yu suddenly realized that all he thought about was how to help Qiao Mudong, but he didn’t feel any heartache for Fu Chenshan’s injury. The change in his mood was so obvious that he was surprised. That moment of trance passed, but He Yu felt that it was not a bad thing. He could devote himself to another relationship without any distractions.
He Yu finished smoking two cigarettes first before going back to the ward. Ling Qiang had already left, leaving Fu Chenshan alone.
He Yu asked hesitantly, “What did Mr. Ling tell you?”
Fu Chenshan looked at him quietly. “His intention is the same as yours; he hopes I won’t call the police.”
He Yu breathed a sigh of relief. If Ling Qiang spoke, Fu Chenshan would not be able to refuse. He raised his eyes and looked at Fu Chenshan. “Then what’s your decision…”
Fu Chenshan said calmly, “As you wish.”
He Yu’s tense nerves finally relaxed. His expression was so obvious that when Fu Chenshan saw it, he unconsciously squeezed the bed sheets under him with one hand.
He Yu saw that the drip hanging by the bed was almost finished and said, “I’ll call the nurse for you.”
Fu Chenshan reached out to press the beeper on the bed. “No need; you can leave, ba.”
He Yu hesitated and asked, “Miss Ling… does she know that you are injured?”
Fu Chenshan laughed. “She was in a bad mood. She said she was going to Hong Kong for two days with her friends. There’s no need to tell her.”
He Yu asked, “Is it convenient for you to be left alone?”
Fu Chenshan softened his voice and said, “This one’s group will come over to donate today. My assistant will also come over tomorrow, and my mother will also find time to come over. You don’t have to worry. You still have to go to work, so go back and rest early.”
He Yu nodded. “If you need anything, just call me.”
Fu Chenshan smiled and said, “I will.”
Before He Yu went out, he couldn’t help but say to Chenshan, “I apologize to you on behalf of Qiao Mudong. I’m sorry.”
Fu Chenshan didn’t respond as He Yu gently closed the door and left.
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.
He Yu hadn’t had his dinner yet, so he took a taxi back. The car drove until he was outside Qiao Mudong’s community. Suddenly, he heard his stomach growl a few times.
After paying for the bus, He Yu walked some distance back alone and went to a small supermarket to buy two bags of instant noodles. When he was buying instant noodles, He Yu hesitated for a moment. Then, he decided to buy other foods, packed them together, and slowly walked towards the gate of the community with his hand holding the bags.
When he reached the gate of the community, a beam of light came from behind him. He Yu subconsciously looked back and saw Qiao Mudong’s car approaching slowly. Afterwards, it parked beside him.
He Yu stood there, looking at Qiao Mudong inside the car.
Qiao Mudong asked, “You came back from work? Didn’t you go to accompany Fu Chenshan?”
He Yu replied, “I didn’t accompany him; I just went to visit him.”
Qiao Mudong snorted, “What the hell?!”
“What the hell?” He Yu snapped back. “You hit that person, and I went to check on them for you. What’s wrong with that?”
Qiao Mudong said, “He deserves to be beaten, and I don’t need you to see him for me!”
He Yu sighed and said, “You know what? Sometimes I do think that he should be beaten, but what’s the use of beating him now? What happened has happened, and the mistakes caused cannot be changed! Hating and blaming him is just nothing more than trying to relieve my guilt. He was wrong, but I was even more wrong than he was! He didn’t hold a knife to my neck and forced me. It was me who was rushing to do it for someone who didn’t love me. People do stupid things! Do you understand?!”
Qiao Mudong looked at He Yu inexplicably. “I don’t understand. What are you talking about?”
He Yu finished venting and calmed down. “I didn’t say anything. But you, do you know what a big deal that punch caused today?”
Qiao Mudong said, “I went to meet with the old man, and he said he wanted to sue me.”
“Wanted to sue you?” He Yu laughed. “You beat him to a minor injury! Have you forgotten your current situation? Do you want to go back and stay in jail?”
Qiao Mudong said, “Just going to jail? You think I’m afraid?”
He Yu’s voice became louder. “What will I do if you go to jail?”
Qiao Mudong repeated his words unconsciously, “What would you do?”
He Yu enumerated: “First, I won’t accompany you back to jail, and second, I won’t wait for you to come out. You can figure it out yourself!”
Qiao Mudong was startled for a moment, then he suddenly took off his seat belt, wanting to open the door and get out of the car.
However, at this moment, several sounds of blasting horns came from behind. The place where Qiao Mudong parked his car happened to block the entrance to the community. The cars behind him saw that he was not moving, so they started honking their horns to urge him.
Qiao Mudong had no choice but to sit back and wave to He Yu, “Get in the car!”
He Yu said, “No. You go and park the car. I’ll go up first.”
The car behind was still honking, so Qiao Mudong had no choice but to start the car and drive through the gate of the community.
He Yu watched him drive towards the parking lot, still carrying a bag of food and continuing to walk forward slowly.
Qiao Mudong took the elevator upstairs from the parking lot. Qiao Mudong arrived first compared to He Yu arrived. He opened the door, changed his shoes, walked over and turned on the TV, then sat on the sofa.
When He Yu came back, he went straight in and closed the door. He walked to the refrigerator, took the food out of his bag one by one, and put it in the refrigerator.
Qiao Mudong looked at him and said, “Don’t you have anything to say to me?”
He Yu picked up the remaining bag of instant noodles in his pocket, walked towards the kitchen, and asked back, “What do you want me to tell you? Can you wait until I have something to eat first?”
Qiao Mudong stood up. He walked to the refrigerator and grabbed an extra bag of instant noodles as he followed him towards the kitchen.
He Yu boiled water and opened the package of instant noodles. Qiao Mudong handed him his bag of instant noodles and said, “Cook one more package.”
He Yu looked back at him. “You haven’t eaten either?”
Qiao Mudong said, “Whenever I go to that old man’s place, I always don’t get to eat enough.”
“Why?” He Yu opened the bag and took out the noodles and seasoning packets together. “Is the Ling family’s food not delicious?”
Qiao Mudong said, “I always panic whenever I see his wife, fearing that she will poison me.”
He Yu snorted.
When the water boiled, he threw the noodles into the boil, stirred them gently with chopsticks, and said to Qiao Mudong, “Go to the refrigerator and get two eggs.
Qiao Mudong went.
He Yu picked up the cooked noodles, put them under the water purifier, rinsed them with cold water, put them back, and continued cooking. This time, he cracked two eggs and cooked them together, then he put in the seasoning and sauce packets.
Qiao Mudong stood aside and watched as the scent penetrated his nose.
He Yu lowered his head. The light in the kitchen was bright, and you could see beads of sweat condensing on his forehead due to the mist of hot water. Qiao Mudong walked up behind him and hugged him with one hand. His other hand moved under the hem of his clothes, caressing the side of his waist.
Qiao Mudong said, “If I’m imprisoned, you have to wait for me.”
He Yu turned off the fire, stood up on tiptoes to get the bowl in the cupboard above his head, and said, “That’s unfair; why do you want me to wait?”
Qiao Mudong reached up and touched his flat chest. He pinched his right nipple with his fingers and pulled it with some force.
He Yu’s body trembled, and he almost hit the bowl in his hand. “Fuck off!” He cursed.
Qiao Mudong didn’t know why, but he suddenly remembered the little yellow book he had read when he was studying and said casually, “Because your lascivious body can’t live without me.”
He Yu became angry as he turned around and kicked Qiao Mudong in the crotch.
Qiao Mudong dodged.
He Yu cursed, “Go back to your mother, you bastard!”
Qiao Mudong said, “Don’t scold my mother. She died young and never did anything bad.”
He Yu said, “Then go to your father!”
Qiao Mudong had no objection this time: “I don’t have a dad anyway.”
He Yu had no choice but to turn around and continue scooping up the noodles. He scooped out half of the noodles into the two bowls with an egg in each bowl, and then poured the soup into them.
He Yu said, “Take out the chopsticks.” Then he walked towards the living room with the bowl in hand.
The sofa was too high, and the coffee table was too short. Qiao Mudong and He Yu squatted on the carpet in front of the sofa, eating noodles with their heads buried in their food.
Qiao Mudong took two bites and said to He Yu, “Seriously, don’t go looking for Fu Chenshan. Is it so impossible for us to get along well?”
He Yu paused, ignored him, and continued eating noodles.
Qiao Mudong reached out to tug at him. “I’m talking to you. Are you deaf?”
He Yu had no choice but to stop his chopsticks and say, “Do you think my opinion of Fu Chenshan means something?”
Qiao Mudong looked at him without speaking.
He Yu asked again, “Do you think I want to see him?”
Qiao Mudong said, “Didn’t you have a crush on him for more than ten years?”
He Yu replied: “I also said I don’t love him. Can’t you understand, ah?” After saying that, he poked the bottom of the bowl with his chopsticks angrily, “I’m starving to death right now, so just wait until I finish eating. After all, how have I offended you? You don’t even want to give me time to eat a bowl of noodles?”
Qiao Mudong slapped the table. “Talk nicely! Do you want to suffer a beating, ah?!”
He Yu ignored him and continued eating his noodles with his head buried. Qiao Mudong glanced at him and stopped talking.
The two of them were eating sullenly while entertainment programs were playing on the TV, with several hosts jumping and making noise like crazy.
Qiao Mudong finished eating the noodles, picked up the bowl, and drank the soup.
He Yu took his empty bowl and took it to the kitchen to wash it.
Qiao Mudong still followed him, hugging He Yu from behind and resting his head on his shoulder. He Yu was pressed down by such a big man and was a little out of breath, causing him to wash the dishes with difficulty.
Qiao Mudong said, “Nevermind for now; there will be no next time anyway. After this, you will never meet with Fu Chenshan again.”
He Yu took a breath and said, “I can’t guarantee that. He and I haven’t had any contact with each other yet. I can only promise that I will never meet Fu Chenshan behind your back. If we meet, then I’ll tell you or something. Just allow me to clear things up on your behalf.”
Qiao Mudong remained silent, uncertain of whether to come to an agreement with him or not.
He Yu raised a finger. “But in a fair deal, you have to promise me not to have trouble with him again. Even if he provokes you, you are not allowed to take action directly.”
Qiao Mudong only said one word: “Fuck!”
In the part where they’re coming home, the one you noted is Qiao Mudong. The problem is in the part “He Yu arrived home first”. Mudong was the one who arrived first, perhaps it’s saying “Mudong arrived first compared to He Yu”. Why don’t you check that part again? 🙄
Mistake aside, i’m sorry that I had to laugh at the part when they bicker while eating. They really bicker like husband and wife couple
🤣🤣
Nope… The next paragraph is “when He Yu came back”, He Yu only came back after Mudong turned on the TV etc (he REALLY walked slowly). If i’m not wrong the raw should be 比何喻还先到家, that 比 is a comparison, so 比何喻 is “compared to He Yu”
Oh, I see! Thank you for your corrections! I’ll fix it right now.
If you have any corrections in the future, you can also dm me on discord so that I can immediately be notified. Lovelots <3
I deleted my reply to avoid confusion but your reply also got deleted😭 Anyway, it’s fixed now. If you have any corrections in the future, feel free to dm me on discord so that I can be immediately notified of my mistakes. I’m still learning how to translate better. I’m so sorry for the errors T-T
It’s alright 😆 i’m not that good in translating either. If I try, I’ll probably waste 10 minutes alone for a complicated sentence, to compare it to MTL them translated it again word by word (sort of have OCD at that part), which is why I’m not a translator 🙈. Chinese is just my third language which is why I’m struggling with translating, but I did watch a lot of taiwanese drama back in 2005s. So i’ll just help point it out if i happen to see a mistake 🙂
And thank you for correcting me~
