Chapter 109 – Daily Life (2)
One man and one dog stared at each other for a long time.
And through each other’s eyes, both sides saw their own reflections…
“Woof!”
The gray puppy suddenly leaped into the air and landed on the sofa. It then started rubbing its head against Chen Yu’s legs.
“Wow!” Chen Yike clapped. “It likes Big Brother a lot! Big Brother, you’re amazing!”
“Wow!” Chen Erke clapped. “It likes Big Brother a lot! Big Brother, you’re amazing!”
Chen Sanke: “Ditto.”
“Stop flattering!” Chen Yu’s complexion darkened. “Why is there a husky here?! Why do we have such a thing at home?!”
Scratching her head, Chen Yike smiled fawningly and said, “I picked it up when I went to fetch Second Eldest back from tuition at noon. It looked very pitiful, so I brought it back. We even went to look for you in your room, but your door was locked, so we thought you weren’t home.”
“But we’re not allowed to keep dogs at our house! Especially not a husky! This is a rented house! If we get caught, we’ll get kicked out!”
“But…” Reaching her hand out to caress the husky’s head, Chen Erke said, “It’s very obedient.”
“The word ‘obedient’ is the last thing you can use to describe a husky!”
At this time, the little husky made a few circles around Chen Yu’s legs. Suddenly, it stopped and raised its tail, directing its b.u.t.t toward Chen Yu. It also turned its head around and stared straight at Chen Yu with a pair of mighty eyes.
Chen Yu: “…What is it doing?”
“Wait there!” Chen Yike said as she pulled out her phone and conducted a web search. She then joyfully said, “When dogs meet, they will sniff each other’s b.u.t.tocks to understand each other! This action means it likes you and isn’t on guard against you!”
“Bulls.h.i.t!” Chen Yu bellowed. “It’s treating me as its own kind?! Dammit! We must send it away!”
“But, it’s so pitiful.” Hugging the husky, Chen Erke pouted, “It’s so cold during winter. It’ll freeze to death.”
“Our family can’t raise it. Mom definitely won’t allow it,” Chen Yu earnestly persuaded. “Moreover, Third Eldest is too young. On the off chance it injures your little sister, won’t you feel guilty?”
“I’m not afraid!” Chen Sanke declared, her arms akimbo. She then reached out and grabbed the husky’s ears, saying, “It… It can’t beat me.”
“How are you so certain?”
“We just fought.”
Chen Yu: “…”
“Big Brother, let’s raise it!” x3
“The problem is, it doesn’t matter even if I agree to it. Mom definitely won’t let you raise it. There’s nothing I can do about that.”
“Big Brother, it’s so cute! It definitely won’t hurt anyone!” Chen Yike said as she hugged Chen Yu’s left thigh and rubbed her head against it. “If mom won’t let us raise it, how about we secretly raise it in our rooms? Please, Big Brother~ Oni-chan~~”
“Brother!” Hugging and rubbing her head against Chen Yu’s right thigh, Chen Erke proclaimed, “I promise to walk it every day. Once it grows up, mom will definitely agree to let us keep it.”
“Big Brother!” Grabbing onto Chen Yu’s shirt, Chen Sanke climbed her way up his body. She then hugged Chen Yu’s neck and said, “I love you. Let’s raise it.”
While standing atop the sofa, Chen Yu got overwhelmed by his little sisters and found himself at a loss on what to do.
“Woof!” With indifference in its eyes, the husky stood up on two feet and hugged Chen Yu’s left leg. It then started shaking its waist…
“See that?! Did you see that?!” Chen Yu grew furious. “This dog is abnormal! We cannot raise it!”
Chen Yike: “…”
Chen Erke: “?”
Chen Sanke: “???”
…
Under his three cute (threatening) a.s.sault, Chen Yu eventually caved in and agreed to secretly raise the dog. After some discussion, they decided to have the dog remain in Chen Yike’s room during the day and in Chen Yu’s room during the night until their parents agreed to let them keep the dog.
In return for his cooperation, Chen Yu gained a minimum of 20 favorability points from his three little sisters. He also secured himself a guarantee that his three little sisters wouldn’t barge into his room without permission.
By the time the siblings bathed, dried, and fed the husky, the sky had already started darkening.
To avoid a situation where Mother Chen suddenly came home and discovered their secret, Chen Yu brought the husky back to his room ahead of time.
“Huh?” Turning around, Little Peach looked at the dog before turning to look at Chen Yu. “A dog?”
“…Can you not look at me when you’re saying ‘dog?’”
Hurriedly shifting her gaze toward the dog, Little Peach said, “I understand, Mr. Chen.”
Chen Yu: “…”
“Does it have a name?”
“Yes. We just named it Pikachu.”
“Woof!” The husky grinned widely as it laid on the floor, a sharp glint flashing across its eyes.
“From now on, this dog will be under your care,” Chen Yu declared as he picked up the puppy and stuffed it into Little Peach’s arms. “Good luck!”
“B-But I don’t know how to raise a dog?”
“No problems. Make full use of your imagination. Anything’s fine so long as you don’t let it die.”
“I understand!” Little Peach said with glowing eyes.
…
The next day, 7.30 AM:
After the Chen family’s four siblings had their breakfast, they promptly left home and went to school together.
Chen Yu had bags hung all over his body, as usual, leading the way with the posture of a walking humanoid shelf.
Five minutes later, the four siblings arrived before a kindergarten.
Halting his steps, Chen Yu pa.s.sed the bag hung on his left hand to Chen Sanke and said, “Listen to the teacher and have fun.”
“Mhm!” Chen Sanke nodded while sucking on her feeding bottle. After receiving her bag, she strode past the gate and toward her school.
Another eight minutes later, the group of three arrived before a grade school.
“Second Eldest, pay attention to cla.s.s. If anyone bullies you, tell me.”
“Okay.”
Another few minutes later, Chen Yu and Chen Yike arrived before a middle school.
“Brother.” Before Chen Yu could speak up, Chen Yike said in anguish, “Mom’s not letting us raise it. What should we do?”
“I’ve already said mom won’t agree to it. We have no choice but to secretly raise it,” Chen Yu said, shrugging. “For the next few days, work together with Second and Third Eldest to pester dad. Take turns acting cute and secure a ‘high ground.’ Afterward, just have dad give some pillow talk to mom.”
“I guess that’s the only way.” Sighing, Chen Yike received her bag and turned toward her school.
“Wait a second! One more thing!”
“Hmm?”
“No dating! I’ll break your leg otherwise!”
Chen Yike narrowed her eyes at Chen Yu’s words. Suddenly, her figure moved as she kicked at Chen Yu at lightning speed!
Whoosh!
Having long since prepared himself for this, Chen Yu swiftly dodged the kick. At the same time, relying on his superhuman athletic abilities, he sent a backhand slap at Chen Yike’s forehead!
Smack!
“Ah!”
Chen Yike covered her head in agony and slowly squatted down…
…
After entering Sixth High and walking into Cla.s.s 2-2’s cla.s.sroom, Chen Yu noticed a small box sitting on his desk.
Carefully observing the box, he found that there was actually a cake in it!
“Good morning!” Xing Biqi, who sat before Chen Yu, turned around and greeted Chen Yu. With a blush on her face, she asked, “I made this for you last night. Do you like it?”
“You made a cake? For me?” Chen Yu was stunned.
“Mhm.” Xing Biqi shyly lowered her head, the blush on her cheeks spreading all the way to her ears. “O-Open it. There’s a surprise.”
“A surprise?”
Growing suspicious, Chen Yu opened the box and removed the cake from it. Quickly, he noticed two English letters made out of dark chocolate placed on top of the cake.
“This is…” Frowning, Chen Yu muttered, “S…and M?”
“Mhm.” Xing Biqi’s body shuddered slightly, her head close to hidden beneath the table.
“You…” As Chen Yu looked at Xing Biqi, an incredulous look appeared on his face. “You actually dare curse at me?”
“Huh?”
“Aren’t these the first letters for ‘stupid motherf*cker?’ Do you think I can’t see through it?!”
“…” Xing Biqi’s face blanked out.
“You are the first person in Cla.s.s 2 that dares taunt me. Amazing. You must’ve poisoned the cake as well, right?”
“Uu…” Xing Biqi opened her mouth and thought to explain herself. However, no words came to her mind.
“If not for my sharp wit allowing me to see through the meaning of these letters, I would’ve eaten this cake and had diarrhea for at least three days! I would truly be a stupid motherf*cker, then!”
“I…”
“Take it away!”
“You’re misunderstanding…”
“Take the cake away!”
Stretching out her hands in a daze, Xing Biqi tentatively took the cake away.
“Heh.” Sneering, Chen Yu said, “What an amateur trick. Tomorrow, I’ll bake you a cake with the letters S and B decorating it. If you don’t eat it, I’ll smack it into your face.”
Xing Biqi: “…”
Sitting back into his seat, Chen Yu pointed ahead and said, “Turn around. Don’t interrupt my studies.”
Buzz! Buzz, buzz!
At this time, Chen Yu suddenly received a message on his phone.
