Chapter 481. Sneaking around
When Aunt Ma came back to explain, Hu Zi was stunned: "I misunderstood. Shan Shan is willing?"
"You baka! You cause such a big joke. It had scared me." Lin Qing He gave him an eye-roll. If Chen Shan Shan wasn't willing, how awkward it would be?
It made it seem that old Zhou family's side was taking advantage of their power to bully another. Both side would find it hard to interact then.
"I was given a scare too." Aunt Ma laughed. She went to old Chen's house without having breakfast. "But Hu Zi can't be blamed. A lad like him had never dated before, how can he understand these?"
Naturally, the girl was feelign shy. Since, she was willing to talk to him, she must be happy to. It was just she was embarrassed to say on the surface. So she deliberately said she wasn't. And the silly boy took it to his heart and almost cried.
Aunt Ma wanted to laugh. Lin Qing He amusedly spoke: "Auntie, go back to eat. This kid is a fool. Now I'm worried that Shan Shan is dating him, she'll find his shortcoming and will not want him?"
"Can't really be certain it won't happen." Aunt Ma teased.
Hu Zi became anxious and rushed to say: "I'm not a fool. I just didn't realize that she was joking with me."
Lin Qing He and Aunt Ma looked at each other. They were greatly amused and went on their own. Not bothering with him at all.
Hu Zi quickly ate breakfast and headed to the menswear's shop to help sort the clothes and the likes. The business in the morning was so-so, especially at this time. After nine o'clock, the business will slowly climb up.
So Hu Zi came to the women's clothing store to find Chen Shan Shan.
Chen Shan Shan turned red when she saw him coming and handed the shop to the female clerk before coming out.
"Shan Shan, you, you...me, me..." Hu Zi stammered. His face was also tanned and red. Clearly feeling embarrassed.
"What's up?" Chen Shan Shan looked at him with a smile in her eyes. This baka.
"Nothing, I just...I just want to come and see you." Hu Zi replied.
Chen Shan Shan turned her face away: "What's there to see."
"Good-looking, especially good to look." Hu Zi said.
Now it was Chen Shan Shan's turn to blush. "If there is nothing else, please go back to the shop as soon as possible."
Hu Zi said: "Then I will come over when I am free."
Chen Shan Shan gave an ‘En’.
Like this, the two started dating with the adults' approval. Dating with the aim of marriage.
Truly these two people... They were very good at keeping it confidential. Even Gang Zi didn't even know about it.
However, in the end Gang Zi sensed something strange as he slept with his brother. Had his brother gotten sick recently? He would occasionally laugh out in the middle of the night when dreaming. Especially creepy.
Gang Zi had a close knit relationship with Zhou Gui Lai, so he complained to Zhou Gui Lai: "Is my brother possess by something unclean? Don't know if he should go to the hospital or not!"
"What's wrong?" Zhou Gui Lai was looking through the photos he had just washed out. There were quite a few dozens of them. He now had four albums in total. All of them were very large and filled with the photos.
"Putting aside before. He would sleep talk in the middle of the night. I didn't hear what was said. What's more, he would laugh. The laughter was particularly creepy." Gang Zi told.
Zhou Gui Lai was surprised and raised his face to look at him: "Brother Hu Zi has this habit? He didn't have it when we slept in the same room before."
"He didn't before. Only got this bad habit recently. Last night, I was got a fright when he hugged me. Like really tightly!" Gang Zi said.
Zhou Gui Lai was stunned: "What's the situation? Why can't I understand?"
"I don't understand either. Otherwise, why should I say if he is sick and should he be sent to the hospital for a check up?" Gang Zi replied.
Zhou Gui Lai rubbed his chin, pondered for a moment, "Why do I feel Hu Zi is in heat?"
"In heat?" Gang Zi didn't understand.
"In short, he want to marry a wife." Zhou Gui Lai answered.
Gang Zi instantly got a disgusted shiver. It can't be that his brother was dreaming of marrying a wife in his dream last night and treated him as his wife!
Zhou Gui Lai grinned: "But really, it sounds a lot like this. Isn't this a teen in heat? It's not a big deal. I should get my mom see if there are any one suitable in the surrounding. If there are, introduce her to him and prevent him from only finding a wife in his dream. That sounds pitiful."
"Pitiful my butt. I don't want to sleep with him. I will bunk with you tonight." Gang Zi said.
"Then sleep on the bed by yourself. it's too hot." Zhou Gui Lai stated.
Though the two boys spoke like this, they didn't keep it at heart. One day Zhou Gui Lai came to the beverage shop. He planned to bring some ice cream and popsicles home and put them in the refrigerator. They didn't have any at home.
Then his sharp eyes noticed something. He found Hu Zi acting sneaky and entered the cinema.
Zhou Gui Lai went into contemplation. It was just watching a movie. Was there a need to act like a thief? What's more, it was off-duty hours. Would any one say something if he wanted to watch a movie?
But after a while, Zhou Gui Lai saw another familiar figure. Wasn't this Chen Shan Shan?
Unlike Hu Zi's guilty appearance, Chen Shan Shan appeared quite natural. No one would find it suspicious.
If it were another, then maybe they won’t think too much. But Zhou Gui Lai was different. Just the day before, he heard Gang Zi's complaint about his brother’s unhealthy dream. Due to this, Gang Zi went to sleep in the bed in the room.

So Zhou Gui Lai paused for a while. Then a shocking secret emerged in his head. These two, it can't be that they have some adulterous affair, right?
Without any hesitation, he immediately followed. Sure enough, he saw the two of them together. They were queuing to buy tickets. They were still talking and laughing. Looking at the two of them, it was obviously their relationship wasn't simple!
Zhou Gui Lai was full of admiration. He really didn't notice. Hu Zi appeared so silly, but actually he hid so deep. He actually asked Sister Shan Shan out to the movie. It was unknown how long this relationship had been developing!
Zhou Gui Lai was afraid that his parents would hit the mandarin ducks if they knew it. So he didn't dare to tell his parents. He went to the menswear's clothing store to find Gang Zi.
However, Gang Zi had already went to night school. His aunt was closely checking his homework. He can't be not serious.
Zhou Gui Lai specially rode the bicycle to the night school to find Gang Zi.
He couldn't help it, he was too excited.
"Huh? My brother is dating Sister Shan Shan?" Gang Zi was stunned.
"Can it be fake? I saw it with my own eyes. Hu Zi sneakily went to the cinema first. Sister Shan Shan went in afterward. The two of them lined up to buy movie tickets together. There's talk and laughter. I saw it with my own eyes! "Zhou Gui Lai said.

ReplyDeleteLooool these little idiots, the lot of them xD
ReplyDeleteThank you for the chapter ๐ฅฐ
Thanks for the chappy!
ReplyDeleteBut why use baka in a Chinese novel tho, feels a little jarring.
The tone of baka seems more fitting than idiot or fool when I was translating. I thought I changed it to idiot later in when a patreon member mentioned this. Guess it didn't save properly.
DeleteWhy not use dummy? Also thanks for the chapter!
DeleteDummy works for Shan Shan. But not for Lin Qing He as she is an elder.
DeleteIndeed baka feels so off. It totally destroyed my immersion in the plot. It was set in china after all.
DeleteMoreover considering the relationship between china and japan, this is kinda questionable.
Lololol San wa and them will feel so betrayed after they find out everyone except for them knows! ๐๐๐
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chapter!
P.s. Those 'Baka's killed me LMFAO ๐๐๐
