Chapter 236 – Daily Life (2)

“Good evening, C-Chen Yu…” After removing the head of her costume with great difficulty, Xing Biqi awkwardly said, “What a coincidence, haha . ”

“Are you working part-time here?”

“Mhm . ” Xing Biqi lowered her head, afraid to look at Chen Yu in the eyes .

“It’s the White Rabbit Sister from last time,” Chen Sanke exclaimed .

“White Rabbit Sister?” Chen Yu couldn’t help but be taken aback by Chen Sanke’s words .

“Ng!” Chen Sanke nodded . “This Big Sister gave me a White Rabbit Candy last time . ”

“Little Sister, d-do you want this?” Xing Biqi hurriedly took out a box of high-quality grapes from her down jacket . She then removed the plastic wrap and offered two to Chen Sanke .

Chen Sanke accepted the grapes and stuffed them into her mouth without hesitation . She then happily said, “Thank you, Grape Sister . ”

“T-Third Eldest! Don’t use such strange names in the future!” Chen Yu said as he pinched his forehead . “Just call her Big Sis . ”

“Okay~~(*^▽^*)”

“T-Take a few more . ” Xing Biqi grabbed two more grapes and handed them to Chen Sanke . She then looked toward Chen Yu’s two other little sisters and asked, “D-Do you want some?”

“Thanks for the offer . ” Chen Yike shook her head with a strange expression on her face .

“I’m not eating it!” Chen Sanke answered in a hostile tone .

Smiling awkwardly, Xing Biqi carefully stored the remaining grapes into her jacket .

Chen Yu had keen eyesight, so he noticed the price tag on the box .

[Imported from America: 125 yuan . ]

He recalled that Xing Biqi said she would make him a fruit cake this week last Friday .

Obviously, these grapes were part of the cake’s ingredients .

Holding Chen Sanke’s hand, Chen Yu glanced at the large mascot headgear on the floor . He then asked, “Do you often work part-time during the weekends?”

“Not always . ” After putting her headgear back on, Xing Biqi waved her hand and said, “Chen Yu, it’s cold outside . You should go home with your sisters first . I’ll head back to work . ”

“When does your shift end?”

“I s-still have about half an hour to go . ”

“Your home’s so far away . Is it safe to go back so late”?

“It’s safe . I’ll take a taxi . ”

“Then…” After pondering in silence for a moment, Chen Yu said, “We’ll take our leave first . ”

“Mhm!” Xing Biqi nodded repeatedly . “Take care, and see you at school . ”

“See you at school . ”

After waving at Xing Biqi, Chen Yu turned around and left with his three little sisters .

“…”

While holding onto the stack of flyers, Xing Biqi idly stared at Chen Yu’s back until the latter disappeared into a corner .

“Ugh…”

After a long time, a complicated sigh came out from the cute mascot .

…

“Brother, was that the female classmate that came to our house last time?”

As soon as the Chen family’s four young masters turned the corner, Chen Yike promptly posed this question .

“Mhm . ” Chen Yu nodded without giving any further explanations . He then approached another mobile phone store and asked the mascot employee there, “Friend, can I ask something?”

“What’s the matter, brother?” a male voice came out from the costume .

“How’s the pay for a part-time job here?”

“Oh? You want to do it as well? It just so happens the store’s lacking manpower . I can help recommend you if you’re looking for work . ”

“Thanks, but I just want to know how the salary is . ”

“You’re a student, right? It’s 100 yuan per day for Saturdays and Sundays in winter; 150 yuan in summer . You just need to stand for a few hours in the morning and afternoon . You’ll get extra if you take the night shift as well . ”

“Oh, I see . Thanks . ”

“No problem . ”

After politely thanking the employee, Chen Yu led his three little sisters into a high-end restaurant . They then took a seat at a window table .

“Sir, how many of you will be dining here today?” a waiter asked after approaching the four siblings .

“Give us a pot of hot water . We’ll take a break first before ordering . ”

“Okay, please wait a moment . ”

Very quickly, the waiter returned with cups and a kettle of water . “If you have any other needs, please call me . ”

“Okay . ”

Picking up the kettle, Chen Yu poured hot water for his three little sisters . He then stood up and said, “Rest here for now . I have something to deal with outside . We’ll order once I come back . ”

“But I’m hungry now,” Chen Erke said, her eyes remaining glued to her new phone .

“Stay hungry for a while longer, then . ”

“Big Brother…” Pulling out one of the grapes Xing Biqi previously gave her, Chen Sanke gave the grape a lick and tilted her head . “Are you going to look for that White Rabbit Grape Sister?”

“Stop using these strange names!”

…

Ten minutes later, the mobile phone store’s manager walked out of the building and shouted at Xing Biqi, “Little girl, time to get off work . ”

“Huh?” Xing Biqi removed her headgear in confusion . She then pulled out her phone and took a look at the time . “But there are still over 20 minutes left . ”

“You can get off work early today,” the manager said as he pulled out 150 yuan’s worth of notes and stuffed them into the girl’s hands . “It’s getting dark . Go home quickly . ”

“M-Manager, you gave me too much . ”

“It’s a bonus . ”

“T-Thank you…” Xing Biqi accepted the notes in a daze .

“All hail the manager! You’re the best!” The other part-time mascot employee also removed his headgear, revealing the head of a young man . The youth then looked at Xing Biqi and said, “Little Qi, let’s go . I’ll treat you to Malatang . ”

“No, I’m going home . ”

The girl shook her head and began taking off her thick costume . ”

“I’ll send you home, then . ”

Just as the youth was about to take off his costume as well, the manager stopped him and questioned, “What are you doing?”

“Getting off work?”

“Since when did I say you get to go?” the manager demanded with a stern look .

“D-Didn’t you say that we’re getting off work early today…”

“I was talking about her! Not you! Put it back on!”

The youth: “…”

After removing her costume, Xing Biqi pulled out two heat pads from her pocket and stuck them to her cotton socks’ soles . She then changed into her shoes, and excitedly walked to the fruit store next door with the 150 yuan in her hand .

“Auntie, I want this . ” After entering the store, the girl picked up a box of lychees without hesitation and returned to the counter . “How much is it?”

After the female clerk scanned the barcode on the box, she stuck a label a ‘Sold’ label on the box and said, “One hundred and ten . ”

After paying the money, Xing Biqi carefully stored the box inside her down jacket and walked out of the store in satisfaction . Simultaneously, she started mentally simulating the cake making process she would go through after returning home .

“Hey!”

Just as the girl was about to walk to the nearby bus stop, a familiar voice entered her ears .

“Chen Yu?”

Even before turning her head, she had already recognized the owner of the voice .

“Where are you going?”

“I-I’m going home . ” Stunning, Xing Biqi asked, “Why are you still here?”

“Waiting for you for dinner . ”

“Dinner?”

“Yes . ” Chen Yu nodded . He then grabbed the girl’s hand in a “domineering” manner and dragged her to the restaurant, “I’ll be feeding you from now on . ”

The girl: “!!!”

…

Time passed by quickly amidst the falling winter snowflakes .

A week had gone by in the blink of an eye .

Saturday, 8:55 AM, Pacific Ocean’s equator:

Inside the mist-shrouded Super Floating Castle, Chen Yu sat on a boat in the Black Lake as he quietly waited for the arrival of nine o’clock .

“Mr . Chen!”

Four minutes later, Little Peach came running over and jumped onto the boat . “The island-engineering ship has arrived . It’s just below the castle . ”

“That’s not important right now . ” Pulling out his mask, Chen Yu hesitantly asked, “I want to know whether your ability to collect information on the internet is reliable . ”

“I am absolutely reliable!” Little Peach declared while patting her chest vigorously . “Although I’ve only studied for a week, my foundation in programming is solid . The same goes for my hacking skills . ”

“…I’ll trust you, then . Just don’t delay my plans . ”

Raising his wrist, Chen Yu checked the time . He then put on his mask and said, “It’s nine o’clock . We’re starting the livestream .

“Okay!”

Little Peach hurriedly conceded the camera’s central position to Chen Yu and put on her mask as well .

“Start the livestream!”
