Chu Xiao, who returned to his room, turned on the light brain. He did not see any news about him on the Star Network, so he was relieved.

Knowing his reputation outside, he had not cared about it before, but for the sake of reputation, the Chu family had already warned that any tidbits about Chu Xiao that appeared on the Star Network would be deleted immediately.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

The title of the Chu family was obtained with meritorious deeds. The ancestors had made great military achievements in war and had come to the present stage step by step. The Chu family had a certain degree of real power in the military and had the right to speak. Unlike some dukes in the Emperor Star who only had the title.

Everything about Chu Xiao, except for the text information certified by on the Star Network, not even a photo of Chu Xiao appeared on the Star Network. 5gzP9W

Two years ago, when he was having the craziest time playing outside, he hugged two people on his left and right, and was kissed on the cheek by two people at the same time. This scene was photographed from a distance, and it was widely circulated on the Star Network.

Even though the distance was too far and the picture quality was a bit blurry after being zoomed in many times, Chu Xiao’s outline was still captured and he looked really handsome.

The man and woman next to him were also gorgeous and beautiful. But the Chu family was very efficient. They took action within a few minutes and the photo was deleted from the entire network. And, they even hacked into the light brain of the person who took the photo, there was no bottom line in doing it.

Although there were no photos, the incident still spread among the people of the Emperor Star. Towards that sixteen-year-old heir of the Chu family, there were a lot of comments criticizing him instantly. They felt that Chu Xiao had already been hugging two people on his left and right at a young age, and he would do more indecent things when he became an adult.

Of course, Chu Xiao didn’t care about those things. He just followed what the people on Emperor Star thought, and just went on like that. In the first year, there was news about various fights, but this year, it had completely become all kinds of rumors and sex scandals spreading everywhere. He did not live up to the “expectations” of the people of Emperor Star.

However, due to the power of the Chu family, no full-face photo of him had been taken until now.

Even if there was, there was a special investigation system that would screen the star network. If there was a photo of Chu Xiao, after confirming it again, and if it was really Chu Xiao, it would be automatically deleted, which was very efficient.

When going out, as long as Chu Xiao did not reveal his identity, no one would know that he was the heir of the Chu family. So, he took Shen Ruo out to play with peace of mind today, even if he met someone who knew him, they would not say some extra words in front of him. csImih

According to other members of the Chu family, it was thanks to their family’s control of part of the news and media network of the empire. Otherwise, the Chu family’s reputation would have been completely disgraced by Chu Xiao.

Therefore, in the past two years, the news about Chu Xiao was only known to the people of the Emperor Star. It was basically hearsay, spread out from the so-called aristocratic circle, and then it was all gossiped by outsiders.

Obviously, many people, including some civilians on the Emperor Star, knew that Chu Xiao was an ignorant and incompetent playboy who had been indulging in those things since he was sixteen or seventeen years old. However, since no photo of him had ever appeared on the Star Network, there was no other way to prove those so-called gossip.

Chu Xiao was coming of age soon. The Chu family had put a lot of restrictions on him this year. As he got older, he had restrained himself and no longer let the news leak out. Even if he was still changing partners frequently, if he stopped the news, it would not be as widely spread as before, at most it was only known by those at the upper level. Y pA8J

Some people on Emperor Star who were interested and followed gossip, were actually a bit not used to Chu Xiao being well-behaved this year.

However, the Emperor Star had not only the gossip of the Chu family, but also the gossip of various actors, stars, nobles and high-level people. They were also happy to see some exciting news.

As for Shen Ruo, Chu Xiao was not worried. He knew at first glance that Shen Ruo didn’t know anything.

Even if he had searched for his information on the Star Network before he came, Shen Ruo would not have seen any negative news except for the few official texts of the Chu family introducing his birth date and growth history. 4i2dJh

If Shen Ruo was not a veteran of following gossip in Emperor Star, if he did not know where to look for what information, or if he did not know how to replace some words with encrypted words, he would definitely not find out about it.

Because he slept early, Shen Rou woke up early on the next day.

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.

Because he was really tired after running all day yesterday, he slept soundly this time. He was also in a better mood since he let go of his worries and concerns about coming to Emperor Star. 08jLKV

Second uncle and Second aunt still had two children to support. The situation on the farm had not been very good in recent years. They had enough food and clothing, but they were not very rich.

Shen Ruo thought about a government loan, but he knew that he was not good at studying. Shen Yi fell ill again, and Second aunt had to go to the hospital to take care of her. If he left, only his Second uncle and Shen Hong would be left on the farm, and they would not be able to manage everything at all. dMCjeW

So, Shen Ruo finally stayed on the Colossal Star. His life was busy but also fulfilling. There were familiar people and things there.

He had no lofty ambitions, and such a plain and mediocre life was actually okay. At least Shen Ruo was satisfied when he decided to stay.

Compared with how he felt at a loss when waking up today, the joy of yesterday seemed to be separated by a layer of veil. Shen Ruo sat by the bed and frowned sadly.

Yesterday, Chu Xiao took him out to play in order to comfort him, but he couldn’t always go to Chu Xiao. Chu Xiao still had to go to school. pjsiYn

It was still early, not even six o’clock. As he couldn’t stay in the room, he went out.

If there was anything he could do, it would be better than freeloading at the Chu family.

Shen Ruo thought of looking for the steward. He must know some work for him to do in the Chu family.

The Chu family’s manor-style mansion was very large. Everyone in the Chu family lived in the main building, and he was also arranged in the main building. There was a building for entertaining guests and a training building in front of it, and a building for servants on the side. yN9SkD

Shen Ruo’s guest room was on the second floor. After he went downstairs, he didn’t see the steward in the hall, and he didn’t know where he was.

There were maids busy in the morning. Shen Ruo saw a maid who was older than him and cleaning with a cleaning machine in the hall. Seeing that she was not very busy, he walked over to ask.

“Good morning, sister. I would like to ask where the steward is.”

Shen Ruo was very polite.  Because the other party was older than him, and he was very nice. 52SkWf

He was a guest, and the maid often cleaned the main building, so she knew him. Seeing Shen Ruo asking her, she stopped working and told him kindly that the steward might be doing morning exercises in the garden now.

After thanking her, Shen Ruo left the main building and went to the garden to find the steward.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

After walking in the garden for a while, Shen Ruo turned around a flower bed that was in full bloom. Just now, a servant told him that the steward would be here soon. Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked over, he bumped into the steward who was jogging face to face.

The steward was a bit older, but he was in good health. His running movements were light and the speed was not fast, but there was already a layer of sweat on his forehead. He was wearing a fitting tracksuit which was specially prepared for running. DE2AM9

“Good morning, Mr. Steward.” Shen Ruo greeted him with a smile. His voice was gentle and polite as before.

“Good morning, Young Master Shen.” The steward saw that Shen Ruo seemed to be looking for him, and the steward’s jogging turned into walking. Seeing this, Shen Ruo followed him and talked while walking.

“Is there something wrong, Young Master Shen?”

The steward had a decent smile on his face. BIa1WL

“I would like to ask if there is anything I can help with. I’ve got nothing to do but staying in the room. I can do a lot of work.”

Shen Ruo said it very seriously. He really knew how to do farm work, weeding, feeding cattle and threshing rice, and he could also drive several types of agricultural vehicles.

The steward didn’t expect him to say this, but he did see Shen Ruo’s boredom.

A simple little YaRen who came from a remote planet, there was nothing for him to do and it was boring. But he was a guest, and no matter what Chu family thought, Shen Ruo would not be allowed to work. 0ntJIy

In fact, after he finished speaking, seeing the steward’s troubled expression, Shen Ruo also felt that these words were too abrupt.

He didn’t think so much just now. He just wanted to kill time, because he didn’t know how long he was going to stay in the Chu family. It was fine for a short time, but if he had to stay for a long time, he didn’t know what he should do and it was too boring.

He only knew how to work and nothing else. On Colossal Star, Yarens who have farms at home would help with work, which was also a part of their daily life.

Even if he didn’t work, in Colossal Star, he had friends he knew and he could hang out. Even if he went out to find a place to play by himself, he was familiar with it and he was not afraid of anything. xVT28E

This was not the case in Emperor Star. Apart from the Chu family, he couldn’t think of any place he could go and there was no one he knew.

But the request he made to the steward was so unreasonable. Shen Ruo was now embarrassed, lowering his head and his cheeks were slightly red.

Would this make the steward think that he was showing off himself on purpose and found such a clumsy and incomprehensible reason.

He had not considered the Chu family’s situation at all. He didn’t have to be like this at all. Moreover, Shen Ruo was also a little worried, if he said this, whether it would make Chu Xiao Yand the Old Lady unhappy. SvVBXg

Shen Ruo was so upset that he almost didn’t dare look up at the steward, feeling frustrated that he said such stupid things. He didn’t know anything, he couldn’t even know how to talk about things, so he might as well stay in the room, even if it was boring.

“Young Master Shen is kind-hearted. I can understand it.”

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

The steward said considerately. He had observed Shen Ruo, and the simplicity was almost written on his face, without any twists and turns.

His mind was quite sensitive. After realizing that he had said the wrong thing, he lowered his head dejectedly and felt depressed. He was standing next to Shen Ruo, so of course he could feel it. pV4vSP

“If there is nothing to do, I can take Young Master Shen to the guest house. There are many entertainment facilities there, as well as a special movie room. You can also make your own movies…”

The steward was introducing Shen Ruo and planned to take him there. He turned around, and suddenly heard Chu Xiao’s voice.

“What’s wrong?”

Chu Xiao came out of the main building and happened to see Shen Ruo and the steward walking past the garden. Shen Ruo lowered his head and looked unhappy. r1vHkG

“Young Master.”

The steward stopped, and Shen Ruo also stopped.

“Chu Xiao.”

Seeing Chu Xiao, Shen Ruo tried his best to make his expression look better and greeted him. ZD4zQv

It was only six o’clock, and it was not yet time for Chu Xiao to go to school. He was wearing a tracksuit, and his forehead was wet with sweat. He had just done indoor training, and now he was out for a run.

Shen Ruo discovered the morning before yesterday that Chu Xiao had the habit of getting up early for training.

“Why are you unhappy?”

Chu Xiao was trying his best to calm down the panting caused by high-intensity training. He asked Shen Ruo with a smile, but he was looking at the steward. p5yhJ0

The steward hesitated for a moment. Knowing that Shen Ruo was sensitive, he was afraid to talk about it and hurt his self-esteem. However, after Chu Xiao looked at him for a moment, he still told the truth.

“Young Master Shen is kind enough to ask if there is anything in the mansion that he can help with and he has no other plans today. I am discussing with Young Master Shen if he wants to go to the guest house. There are many entertainment facilities.”

The stupid and embarrassing thing he did was being reported. Shen Ruo was standing there. Originally, he raised his face and was looking at Chu Xiao, but he lowered it again. He felt very, very sad, fearing that Chu Xiao would be angry if he thought he was causing trouble.

Seeing Shen Ruo’s actions of lowering his head in dejection, and slumping his shoulders, Chu Xiao chuckled. SIFDuK

He couldn’t guess other people’s thoughts, but Shen Ruo’s thoughts were best guessed. They were basically written on his face. For him to come looking for the Steward, he must be too bored and wanted to find something to do.

Hearing Chu Xiao’s chuckle, Shen Rou knew that he was not angry. But Shen Ruo became even more upset. Chu Xiao must have thought he was stupid, so he laughed like this.

“If you’re bored, I’ll show you something.”

Chu Xiao was still panting slightly and he said to Shen Ruo with a smile. vTDzeV

Shen Ruo raised his head and saw that Chu Xiao smiled gently, without laughing at him. So, he followed Chu Xiao to the training building.

On the second floor, Shen Ruo followed him into the equipment room and watched Chu Xiao take down a thick board from a high shelf.

Shen Ruo looked at it and recognized that it seemed to be a hoverboard, which he had seen in Area A yesterday.

“Have you played this?” HC7Dax

Chu Xiao Yasked Shen Ruo. He didn’t know if it was because of the sweaty hair on his forehead after training, he looked a bit sexy. Moreover, Shen Ruo also noticed that Chu Xiao today seemed to be slightly different from yesterday.

“No.” He shook his head. Shen Ruo had indeed never played with a hoverboard, which was very expensive.

“I’ll teach you.” The smile on Chu Xiao’s face grew bigger. He said to Shen Ruo and then took him out.

Chu Xiao went out first. Shen Ruo fell behind him, but Chu Xiao was waiting for him outside. xFJCy

Looking at the smile on Chu Xiao’s face, Shen Ruo suddenly understood what was different. Chu Xiao’s smile was sunny and bright, which was different from the gentle gentleman’s smile yesterday.

But for Shen Ruo, no matter what kind of smile, Chu Xiao was the best. He was good-looking, had a good personality, and was also a very nice person.

  1. Chu Xiao is so nice and seems so loving that if I hadn’t read the synopsis I’d think that’s how he is. But I know he will dissapoint me greatly in the future so I dare not like him at all yet. Shen Ruo is so cute and innocent, I want to protect him.

    Thank you for the chapter!

  2. Thanks very much for the chapters. It will be hard see how the perception of a good young master becomes in a total disaster evil one
