Chapter 200: Brother
Chapter 200 – Brother
Time always seemed to slip by inadvertently.
In the blink of an eye, nearly a week had gone by already.
Today was a Sat.u.r.day morning, and there was only one day left until Chen Yu’s additional livestream.
After the Chen family had their breakfast, the person that needed to work went to work, and the person who traded in stocks went to trade stocks. In the end, only the Chen family’s four young masters remained at home.
“Big Brother! I’ve changed! Let’s go! Hurry!” Chen Erke said after putting on a thick down jacket. She then started dragging at Chen Yu’s shirt in a hurry. “We’ll be late at this rate!”
“Don’t worry. Eldest and Third Eldest still haven’t finished changing,” Chen Yu said as he leisurely sat on the sofa and swiped his phone.
“You’re sending me to taekwondo cla.s.s today, so why are they tagging along? Yuck!” Chen Erke groaned in dissatisfaction.
“I’m having your elder sister recognize the route. That way, she can drop you off every Sat.u.r.day in the future.”
“What about Third Eldest? Why are we bringing her?” Softly, Chen Erke muttered, “W-What if she wants to learn it as well? I’ll just lose to her again!”
“Third Eldest is out of snacks. I’m bringing her along to buy some,” Chen Yu said as he pushed Chen Erke away. “Stop sticking so close to me. You’re almost nine years old. Keep some distance away from your brother, OK?”
“No!”
“Brother, let’s go.”
At this time, Chen Yike led Chen Sanke out of the master bedroom and said, “We’re done changing. What about the husky? Won’t it bite and break things if we leave it alone at home?”
“I’ll deal with it.”
Storing away his phone, Chen Yu dragged the husky into the bathroom. After shutting the door, he pulled out two cigarettes from his pocket and shook it in front of the dog. “Hey, dog, we need to go out for some business. Be good and stay at home. Do so, and I’ll give you one of these two cigarettes. If you perform well, I’ll give you another one when I come home.”
Lying on the floor in an arrogant posture, the husky shook its canine head and sternly said, “No, woof.”
“‘No’ my a.s.s!”
Giving the dog a slap in the face, Chen Yu said, “I’m not negotiating with you! This is an order! If you dare cause trouble at home, I’ll turn you into dog stew once we’re back!”
“Dog meat is, woof, not tasty…”
“Can you not speak English?”
“Woof!”
“…Let’s do this. I’ll add another cigarette,” Chen Yu said as he pulled out another cigarette and clipped it to the husky’s ear. “Smoke inside the bathroom, and open the window once you’re done. No leaving the house.”
“Awoo…” The husky nodded repeatedly.
“We have a deal.”
After shaking the husky’s paw, Chen Yu turned around and took his three little sisters out.
The husky then planted its right ear on the ground and listened for the elevator’s noise. After a while, it suddenly stood up and excitedly howled, “Awooo! Woof!”
Slide.
After opening the door, the husky walked out of the bathroom with its chest held high and cigarettes in its mouth. Meanwhile, after leaving the bathroom, the first thing it did was to enter the kitchen, turn on the stove to light a cigarette, and turn it off.
Afterward, it waltzed into the living room and planted its b.u.t.t on the sofa. It then puffed out a mouthful of smoke, making smoke rings in the process…
Picking up the remote control on the sofa, it turned on the TV and tuned to the sports channel. Seeing that it was the national football team playing, it let out a snort and immediately changed channels. Only after finding a cartoon channel did it stop. It then started smoking while watching TV.
“Awoo~~♫”
After finishing a cigarette, the husky hummed a strange tone as it rhythmically walked toward the hallway. It then grabbed the landline phone and familiarly dialed a number.
“h.e.l.lo, this is the Four Seasons Restaurant’s takeaway department.”
“Woo~order food!”
“Very well. May I know your order?”
“What do you~woo~recommend…”
After some communication, the husky completed its order and disconnected the call. However, even after circling the living room, it failed to find a single yuan lying around.
“Awoo~ Poor~”
The husky laid on the floor and pondered for a moment. It then walked toward Chen Yu’s bedroom and knocked on the door.
Knock! Knock!
A moment later, Little Peach opened the door and tilted her head, asking, “What is it?”
Sticking its tongue out, the husky said, “Woof! Play~woo~”
“You want to play with me?!” Little Peach immediately grew joyful.
“Woof!”
“Haha! This is great! What should we play?”
“Woof! Woof! Woof!”
“Landlord? And we’re betting money?”
“Woof!”
“No problem! I, Little Peach, will never lose to you!”
…
At the same time, Chen Yu led his three little sisters westward. After walking for around eight minutes, they arrived before a shop named “Zhiyong Taekwondo.”
“This is it.”
“It’s so big.” Chen Erke was stunned as she looked up. “Do the second and third floors belong to the shop as well?”
“The second and third floors are the taekwondo studios. The first floor is the dance studio. Let’s go,” Chen Yu said as he pulled on Chen Erke’s hand and led his little sisters through the entrance. However, as soon as he entered the building, his footsteps immediately came to a halt.
Currently, young and lively ladies were stretching their slender waists in the dance studio, and Chen Yu couldn’t help but stare at them.
“Brother! What are you looking at?!” Chen Yike frowned and quickly stood in front of Chen Yu.
“Nothing.” Chen Yu turned away and walked toward the nearby staircase.
After arriving on the second floor, a female coach practicing her kicking noticed the Chen family’s four young masters. Immediately, she came to greet them,” h.e.l.lo, sir.”
“I’m the one who came for consultation a few days ago. I brought my sister to register.”
“I remember you.” The instructor said, nodding. She then smiled and pointed at Chen Yu’s three younger sisters, asking, “Will all three of them be registering?”
“No! I’m the only one registering!” Chen Erke said as she hurriedly raised her hand. At the same time, she also snuck glances at Chen Sanke.
“Sir, we currently have an ongoing promotion. If you register as a group, there will be disc-”
“No need for discounts.” Chen Yu waved his hand ostentatiously, unable to help himself from showing off his wealth in front of the beautiful female instructor. “We’re just applying for one person. Give my little sister the best course available.”
“Oh, is that so.” The female instructor briefly glanced at the simple clothing the Chen family’s four young masters were wearing. Her smile remaining unchanged, she continued, “Let’s enroll your little sister in the yearly course, then. Each month will have eight cla.s.ses, and there will be a professional instructor personally educating her. The total price is 4,980 yuan.”
“The price is quite low, but the duration is too long. I’m afraid my sister can’t endure it, so let’s register her for one month first.”
The instructor nearly laughed. However, as she was a professional, she still managed to hold herself back. “Okay, sir. It’ll be 850 for one month. The pricing for the annual fee is more affordable.”
“I already said money isn’t the problem.” Patting Chen Erke’s shoulder, Chen Yu said, “So long as my little sister is satisfied, I can even register her for 10 years. It’ll all depend on your standards.”
“Very well. Please follow me. Right, sir, if you’re not applying for the yearly course, there won’t be any uniforms or equipment included. You will need to pay extra to purchase them.”
“Just tell me the total. I’ll send it all together.”
After completing the registration procedures and footing the bill, Chen Erke was left to study in the taekwondo studio.
Following this, Chen Yu continued moving westward together with his two remaining little sisters.
“Brother.” Growing skeptical, Chen Yike asked, “Aren’t we buying snacks for Third Eldest? The mall is eastward.”
“We’ll talk about the food later. Follow me first.”
At this time, Chen Sanke tugged at Chen Yu’s shirt and asked, “Big Brother, why…why is Big Sis learning taekwondo?”
“You’ll find out very soon.”
“?”
After walking for another five minutes, Chen Yu stopped and pointed ahead. “We’re here.”
Looking at the direction Chen Yu pointed at, Chen Yike could not help but be stunned.
Ahead of them was a stylishly decorated villa.
Meanwhile, hanging in front of the villa was a white plaque with the words “Danya Piano School” written on it.
“This… This is…”
Turning around, Chen Yu revealed a warm smile as he looked at Chen Yike.
“I’ve registered you already. One year.”
Chen Yike stared at Chen Yu in a daze. A moment later, her eyes gradually moistened, and her vision turned blurry. “Brother…”
