Chapter 235 – Daily Life (1)

Sunday, night, snow:

“Son, your mother has been in a bad mood lately . I’m going to take her out to travel and relax . ”

While walking and holding onto Chen Sanke’s hand, Chen Yu questioned, “So, this is the reason why you’re leaving us behind?”

“The four of you have grown up already . You need to learn how to take care of yourselves,” Father Chen answered as he embraced Mother Chen while holding onto an umbrella . Gently caressing his lover’s hair, he continued, “We’ll be back in two weeks, so behave at home . ”

“It’s almost the New Year,” Chen Yike said hesitantly .

“That’s why we’ll be back in two weeks . ” Shaking off the snow on his umbrella onto the Chen family’s four young masters, Father Chen said, “Little Yu, I’ll leave Third Eldest in your care . Both Eldest and Third Eldest have supplementary classes during the weekends, so don’t wander outside and play with Third Eldest . ”

Lowering his head and glancing at Chen Sanke, Chen Yu said, “Why don’t you just bring Third Eldest with you . ”

“Don’t push the trouble onto us . ”

Chen Yu: “…”

Chen Sanke: “???”

After the Chen family’s four young masters accompanied their parents to the train station and saw them off, Chen Yu turned to look at his three little sisters and shrugged, saying, “They truly love each other, while we’re just accidents . ”

“Aren’t there a little too many accidents?!” Chen Yike complained .

“Let’s stop talking about this . Now that Mom and Dad are gone, we should figure out how we’re going to spend these next two weeks . ”

“There’s just a little over a month before the New Year! Mom and Dad are too immature!” Chen Yike complained aggrievedly .

“Mom lost money in her investments several times . She must’ve suffered a huge mental blow, so try to understand her feelings . ” Leading Chen Sanke out of the train station, Chen Yu said, “Take this as a lesson to not engage in those fancy things . ”

“Brother, I’m hungry,” Chen Erke said as she tugged on Chen Yu’s shirt . “What are we eating tonight?”

“Is there any food at home?” Chen Yu asked .

Sighing, Chen Yike said, “Mom is gone, so where’s the food going to come from?”

“Let’s go to a restaurant, then! I’ll treat you guys to a big meal!”

“Yay!” Having been waiting for these words, Chen Erke cheered happily . “Big Brother, I want to eat fatty intestines!”

“Okay . ”

“I want to eat prawns,” Chen Sanke said with her hand raised .

“Eldest, what do you want to eat?”

“I can’t afford it… Let’s just go home and cook some noodles . ”

“Your brother is rich now . You can let go of your peasant habits . ”

Following this, Chen Yu led his three little sisters down the main road and headed north in search of a restaurant . However, shortly after they started on their journey, Chen Sanke suddenly stopped and pointed in a particular direction . “Dollies!”

Following Chen Sanke’s finger, Chen Yu found two people dressed in mascot costumes distributing advertising flyers out in the snow .

“I want to touch them . ” Pointing at the mascots, Chen Sanke pleaded, “I’ll just touch them 20,000 times . ”

“…I’ll let you touch them twice . ”

“Deal . ”

Leading Chen Sanke to one of the mascots, Chen Yu accepted a flyer from the mascot and half-heartedly browsed it . Meanwhile, Chen Sanke boldly touched the mascot .

“Are you two working for this mobile phone store?” Initially, Chen Yu planned to leave once Chen Sanke got her fill of touching the mascot . However, upon seeing the attractive discount stated on the flyer, he suddenly grew interested and asked, “Is the gift stated here for real?”

“Mhm . ” A dull female voice came from inside the costume .

“Eldest, come here,” Chen Yu called for Chen Yike . He then asked, “How long have you been using your phone for already?”

“Three years . What’s wrong?”

“Let me take a look at it . ”

“Brother! You’re not thinking of buying me a phone, right?” Chen Yike asked as she glanced at the large store behind the mascot . “Mine is still usable . ”

“Stop with the nonsense and give it to me . ”

“…”

After accepting Chen Yike’s phone, Chen Yu pressed the power button . The next moment, a frown appeared on his face . “Is the battery dead? Why isn’t it lighting up?”

“The response is slow . You have to wait a few seconds after pressing the power button . ”

Chen Yu: “…”

Three seconds later, the phone screen turned on, then went off again, then turned on again…

“You pressed too many times,” Chen Yike explained .

“…”

After a few more seconds passed, the screen finally stopped flickering and stayed on .

However, the moment Chen yu swiped his finger across the screen to unlock the phone, the screen went dark once more .

“It’ll take another few seconds to enter the main interface,” Chen Yike explained .

“…Do you usually wait like this?”

“Yes . ” Chen Yike nodded . “After pressing the power button, I’ll memorize a word . While unlocking the screen, I’ll memorize another word . I can memorize at least four words every time I use the phone . ”

“You really are a talent . ”

Returning the phone to Chen Yike, Chen Yu decisively walked into the phone store and said, “I’ll buy you the best one . ”

“Brother! You’re wasting money! New phones are expensive!”

Halting his footsteps, Chen Yu turned around and asked, “Do you want it or not?”

“No . ”

“What if I buy it for you no matter what?”

“…”

“Come in and choose the color . ” After saying so, Chen Yu entered the shop without another word .

Chen Yike fell into a daze as she looked at Chen Yu’s back .

“Big Brother, you’re so handsome!” Chen Erke said with glittering eyes .

Meanwhile, the mascot, who was being frenziedly harassed by Chen Sanke, also turned to stare at Chen Yu in a daze .

“Is it fluffy inside as well?”

When Chen Sanke saw that the mascot had stopped resisting, she boldly stretched her hand into the gap around the costume’s waist…

“Ah! Don’t come in!”

…

After entering the store, Chen Yu glanced around and picked up the latest flagship phone from Huawei . He then showed it to Chen Yike and asked, “What do you think of this?”

After glancing at the phone’s price tag, Chen Yike timidly looked at the salesperson nearby and said, “It’s ugly . ”

“What about this?”

“It’s ugly too . ”

“This one’s not ugly, right? It has a feminine design . ”

“Ugly…”

“Which one do you think is pretty, then?”

“…Well, this one . ” Seeing that Chen Yu was determined to buy her a new phone, Chen Yike reluctantly pointed at a smartphone priced at 1,999 yuan .

After looking at the phone’s appearance, Chen Yu looked toward the salesperson and said, “…Too ugly . ”

The salesperson: “…Can you two stop looking at me when you’re saying ‘ugly’?”

“Cough… This one, then . ” Chen Yu hurriedly pointed at a Vivo phone sitting on the counter and said, “Since you don’t care about the phone’s performance, a Vivo should be suitable for you since it prioritizes camera performance . Yes, let’s take this one . ”

“I-It’s 6,899!”

“This one . ” Tapping on the glass showcase, Chen Yu said to the salesperson, “Pack it up . I’ll pay for it now . ”

“Okay, sir . Please follow me . ” The salesperson immediately revealed a dazzling smile . After all, employees of this store received the most commission when selling Vivo and Oppo smartphones .

“Brother!” Chen Yike quickly grabbed Chen Yu’s shirt . “It’s too expensive!”

“Eldest . ” After silently pondering for a moment, Chen Yu turned around and put his lips by Chen Yike’s ear . He then whispered, “You’re my little sister . I didn’t have the ability before, but I want to give you the best now . ”

Immediately, Chen Yike’s pupils shrank, and her mind froze…

Three minutes later, Chen Yu completed the payment for the smartphone and handed the smartphone box to Chen Yike: “Take it . ”

“Big Brother . ”

Chen Yike bit her lip and held back a sniffle .

“Hurry up and take it . It’s time for dinner . ”

“Mhm…”

“Big Brother . ” At this time, Chen Erke tugged on Chen Yu’s shirt and blinked her eyes pitifully . “Big Brother, you really are kind . Although I’ve never held a smartphone before, I’m still happy that Big Sis got a new phone . ”

Chen Yu: “…”

…

By the time the three Chen siblings walked out of the store, Chen Erke also lovingly held a new smartphone in her hand .

As for Chen Sanke, she still stood by the store’s entrance harassing the mascot there…

“Don’t! Little friend! Don’t reach in! Don’t touch…”

“This voice…” Raising his eyebrows, Chen Yu stepped forward and tapped his knuckle on the mascot’s head . He then tentatively asked, “Xing Biqi?”

“Huh? What’s the matter?” The mascot instinctively turned around . Upon seeing Chen Yu, however, the person inside the mascot hurriedly covered her mouth . “Uu…”
