Ye Ming returned to the system space. Seeing the clean and tidy space, he was almost moved to tears. Dealing with piles of rotten meat every day truly had greatly strengthened his psychological tolerance. He was actually a person who rather valued cleanliness ah!

Ye Ming: “Speaking of, is there some kind of conclusion for that world? Will the zombies be wiped out?”

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

888: “You actually care enough to ask follow-up questions?”

Ye Ming: “Yes ah, I’m really super curious. I’ve watched so many zombie movies and TV shows, and played so many zombie video games, but I’ve rarely seen the zombies get completely exterminated… it’s almost as painful as watching a movie halfway and not being able to see the ending!” 7AkNSw

888 was silent for a while, then asked, “So you only care about the ending for that world, and not Yang Qian’s ending?”

Ye Ming’s expression stiffened for a moment, and he gave a dry laugh, “What difference does it make whether I care or not…” Besides, even if he didn’t ask, he could probably still guess.

888 said, “There’s no ending.”

Ye Ming was stunned: “Why?”

WjtdwE

888 said, “No reason.”

Ye Ming figured that 888 was probably too lazy to explain things to him in detail. He pouted a bit, but also stopped asking. Some things were beyond the scope of his capabilities. It was useless to think too much. It wasn’t like he really wanted to know anyway. It was better for him to finish up his missions properly then head on home.

Thinking of how this was the last world he had to go back to, Ye Ming scoffed, “Oh right, you mentioned that the main system will select a new body for me, therefore bringing me back from the dead, then? So, can I choose the type of body myself?”

Ye Ming had already thought about how he’d approach Shen Ye again in the fastest and most convenient way possible to achieve his goal. He’d never let go of anything he’d be able to put to use.

Data flowed along the walls swiftly. After a while, 888 replied, “It’s been selected. Do you want to depart now?” xzXV8t

Ye Ming laughed heihei, “Let’s set off ba!”

【Ding. Transmission Complete.】

Ye Ming opened his eyes, and found himself lying in a place similar to a university dormitory. He closed his eyes to recall some of his memories. Too much time had passed, and he’d transmigrated to so many worlds. Some things should still be reviewed, lest he forget anything.

In this world, his name was Han Xu, an adopted son of the Shen family. X l1Ri

Both of Han Xu’s parents died when he was six, so he was adopted by his father’s close friend, Shen Dayao. At that time, Shen Ye had just been born, while little Han Xu was six years old.

Shen Dayao conducted himself in a serious manner, and didn’t have a close relationship with Han Xu, acting more like a dignified father. But, Shen Dayao’s wife, Xu Yasu, was a very gentle and kind-hearted woman. She raised Han Xu as if he were her own biological son, treating Han Xu the same as Shen Ye ever since they were young. Sometimes, out of concern and pity, she’d even treat Han Xu better than Shen Ye, worrying more about his feelings.

Thus, although Han Xu had lost both of his parents, his life with the Shen family wasn’t too bad.

Although Han Xu was young, he still understood he ought to repay their kindness, and held the Shen couple in high regard, as though they were his own real parents. And out of gratitude, he sincerely cared for his younger brother, Shen Ye, and was always very accomodating, maintaining an extremely harmonious brotherly relationship with mutual respect. bGXdaR

When Ye Ming transmigrated over, Han Xu was 16 years old, while Shen Ye was 10.

Because Shen Ye was still very young at the time, Ye Ming didn’t do anything excessive, and continued to act out the role of a good big brother. He was also very tolerant and attentive with Shen Ye, and lived with the Shen family peacefully.

But, Ye Ming wasn’t actually a child. He was acutely aware that Xu Yasu was sincerely good to him, while Shen Ye truly liked him, but Shen Dayao, not necessarily so. He felt that Shen Dayao actually didn’t like him, and sometimes, he’d even gaze at him with a cold look in his eyes.

But, Ye Ming didn’t care whether Shen Dayao liked him or not. He only cared about Shen Ye’s favorability value. hEHrvK

As Shen Ye slowly grew up, Ye Ming took on the role of a trustworthy big brother. When Shen Ye fought with someone outside, Ye Ming would take the blame for him. When Shen Ye didn’t do well on an exam, Ye Ming would speak up for him in front of Father Shen, while making time just to patiently tutor him on the side.

It was practically impossible for a somewhat proud, but fairly pure young teen to withstand these kinds of schemes. Shen Ye liked Ye Ming more and more, and in the face of Ye Ming’s masculine charms that had seemingly been unintentionally revealed, eventually sprouted feelings that went beyond that of brotherhood.

Shen Ye discovered that he’d developed a crush on Ye Ming, and Ye Ming was also his first love. Shen Ye had a bold disposition, and enthusiastically confessed to Ye Ming.

After Shen Ye made his intentions clear, Ye Ming pretended to hesitate and struggle with this for a while, before honestly confessing his feelings for Shen Ye, saying that he’d actually also liked him all this time. gVMkAR

Shen Ye hadn’t imagined that Ye Ming would just so happen to like him as well, and was elated, while they naturally became a couple. But, at this time, Ye Ming felt that his feelings weren’t stable enough, and was unwilling to let someone else ruin their relationship. If the Shen couple discovered that he and Shen Ye had gotten together, then it’d definitely cause an uproar… so, he pretended to be uneasy and guilt-ridden, and asked Shen Ye to keep their relationship a secret, and not let the Shen couple find out.

Although Shen Ye wasn’t too willing, he still listened to Ye Ming, and concealed their true relationship, commencing their underground romance.

But, Shen Dayao wasn’t someone gullible. Both Ye Ming and Shen Ye lived at home, while their feelings were becoming stronger and stronger. Time went by, and with his favorability value almost completely full, how could he possibly remain completely unaware?

Shen Dayao couldn’t tolerate such a development, and became even more displeased with Ye Ming, then began to deliberately suppress and exclude him. fN3JFk

Ye Ming wasn’t surprised at all about this. When he’d first arrived in this world, he’d already discovered that Shen Dayao didn’t like him, so he’d specifically asked 888 to investigate the reason behind this. The truth had truly opened his eyes, just that he’d pretended not to know anything.

Shen Dayao had actually murdered Han Xu’s parents!

Back then, Shen Dayao and Han Xu’s father, Han Qi, had been good friends. The two of them had made a name for themselves in the underworld, and were both vicious figures. But, evidently, Shen Dayao had much greater ambitions. In order to monopolize their company, he’d killed the Han couple ruthlessly, and taken away everything under Han Qi’s name, before developing and expanding it into the present day Shen company.

At the time, Shen Dayao had originally wanted to kill Han Xu as well, and completely eradicate their entire family, but Han Xu had been lucky enough to escape this catastrophe. Coincidentally, Mother Han had asked Xu Yasu to help pick up her child that day. Thus, Han Xu had been picked up by Xu Yasu from kindergarten. d957mW

Xu Yasu couldn’t get in contact with Mother Han, then learned of the tragedy that had befallen the Han family. She was very shocked and upset, and seeing little Han Xu’s pitiful appearance, she couldn’t bear it and decided to take him in. She had no idea her own husband was the culprit behind this tragedy.

Although Shen Dayao was a callous person, he loved his wife very much. Seeing how much Xu Yasu cherished Han Xu, and how determined she was to bring him back home and raise him, he could only agree for the time being. Plus, in those kinds of circumstances, Shen Dayao couldn’t act too peculiarly, and still had to pretend as though he was also very sorry to hear about Han Qi’s death back then.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

So, Xu Yasu brought Han Xu back home with her, and was patient with him in every possible way. She took care of him personally like he was her own son, leaving Shen Dayao with no opportunities to take advantage of the situation and get rid of him.

Eventually, Shen Dayao completely took control of the company, and buried everything that had happened in the past. Since Xu Yasu liked Han Xu this much, he gradually gave up on his idea of killing Han Xu. 8TfznR

The Han family tragedy had ultimately been classified as a burglary gone wrong. No one would learn of that secret ever again. What kind of threat could a six-year-old possibly bring to him? If he made a move and killed Han Xu now, it’d inevitably arouse Xu Yasu’s suspicions, and upset her, while he’d also have to take on a certain amount of risk.

So, Han Xu ended up living with the Shen family in this way. In the blink of an eye, twenty years had passed by.

This situation continued on until Han Xu (Ye Ming) and Shen Ye got into a relationship, which was something absolutely unacceptable for Shen Dayao! He would never forget how he’d killed the Han couple back then, plus his son needed to carry on his family line, and succeed him, so how could he become entangled with Han Qi’s son?

Absolutely not! GV9fvX


The translator has something to say: into a new arc we go!

P.S. i’ve been reading everyone’s lovely comments, just that i haven’t had time to respond, but ty to all you lovely readers for accompanying me on this journey~

P.P.S. you guys may have noticed I’ve opened up both novels I’m translating to co-translator applications. in the interest of bringing more regular releases to you guys + freeing up some of my time, i thought it’d be best for there to be 2 of us working on these novels.

If applying for the Co-Translator Position: Please DM me on Discord (phizzlepop#2676) instead of filling out + sending in the application form on CG. I’m looking for someone who is ideally fluent in Chinese & English, and can translate a min. of 3 releases every other wk, so we’ll be alternating. N.B. there is a translation test using a future chapter of SSSG you’ll be responsible for, and the application will also be vetted by someone else, so please keep that in mind. this is part of the official CG process bc co-translators can eventually be given an official account post-probation, granting them the ability to begin translating their own novels k2xgFM
