Chapter 362 – Daily Life (2)
“Is that poop?”
“Is that poop?”
“…S-Sir, that’s butter . ”
“I’m sorry . My classmate isn’t very good with words,” Xing Biqi said as she smiled apologetically at the waitress . “But why is the butter green?”
“It’s chartreuse in color,” Chen Yu corrected . “Maybe the cow that produced this milk got cheated on by its partner . ”[1]
The waitress: “…”
Without waiting for the waitress to explain, Chen Yu picked up his knife and spread the green butter on the triangular bread . He then took a big bite out of the bread .
Crack, crack .
Crack, crack…
Startled, Xing Biqi asked, “D-Did you shatter a tooth?”
“The bread shattered,” Chen Yu said seriously .
“Is it tasty?”
“It’s authentic . ” After swallowing the bread with great difficulty, Chen Yu raised his thumb and said, “This is the taste…”
“Sir, so you’re a connoisseur?” The waitress’s smile returned .
“…”This is the authentic taste of tires,” Chen Yu added .
The waitress’s face stiffened once more .
Putting down the knife, Chen Yu glanced at the green butter before turning to look at Xing Biqi . “How much does this meal cost?”
“The whole course costs 1,800 . ”
Hearing this, Chen Yu shifted his gaze toward the waitress and asked, “Is that all for this dish?”
“Y-Yes…”
“In that case, you can head downstairs first . What I’m going to say next might not be pleasant to your ears . ”
The waitress…”
“A bloody loss!” After waiting for the waitress to disappear from his sight, Chen Yu immediately picked up the bread on his plate and tossed it into the trash can under the table . “This thing tastes horrible to the point of being unbearable! Yet, this garbage actually costs 1,800? Do these people think money grows on trees? Even street burgers taste better than it!”
“Is it really that awful?” Xing Biqi asked . She then picked up her own bread and tentatively took a small bite .
“It’s horrible . It’s especially bad after spreading this green butter on it . By the way, what’s the name of this course?”
“T-The Couple Course…”
“Oh!” Realization dawning upon him, Chen Yu said, “No wonder it’s green . ”[2]
Shortly afterward, the second dish made by the French chef arrived .
The second dish was a cup of mango ice cream .
“Ice cream!” Xing Biqi cheered . She then quickly scooped out a spoonful and put it into her mouth . With a satisfied expression, she said, “This is delicious . It’s sweet and sour . ”

“Mhm, this is okay . It’s just that the northeast is still cold . Is it really a good idea to have ice cream before the main course?”
Afterward, the waitress brought the third dish to the cubicle .
This time, the chef himself also came to open the lid covering the two dishes . When the lids were removed, a thin veil of smoke appeared in the young couple’s eyes, and hidden within the smoke were neatly arranged plates, spoons, bowls, and cups .
“This is white sturgeon caviar . Please enjoy,” the waitress said before bowing together with the chef and leaving .
Chen Yu knew about the food ingredient known as white sturgeon caviar . It was the most expensive and highest quality caviar available . When paired with soft bread and sticky mashed potatoes, the taste was quite…normal .
“How is the taste?” Xing Biqi asked .
“Let’s just go for malatang next time . My treat . ”
…
An hour later, the two left the restaurant named Michelin 3-star, chatting with each other as they made their way to the lake .
“There’s even a service charge? This is seriously a bloody loss . ”
“It’s fine . ” Strolling behind Chen Yu, Xing Biqi said, “I’m already happy that I get to have a meal with you . It doesn’t matter what we eat . Oh, by the way, now that the monthly exam is over, will you be going to school tomorrow?”
“I’m not going . I’ll study at home . ”
“I heard that our form teacher was so angry at you before that she even broke into tears . If you continue skipping classes, won’t you get expelled? What will you do then?”
“It doesn’t matter . ” Patting Xing Biqi on her shoulders, Chen Yu said, “I’m close to a rich woman now . Is there even a need for me to work hard?”
“…”
“By the way, are we just going to stroll around here? It’s not even three o’clock now . Did you plan any other arrangements?”
“N-No . Should we catch a movie?”
“That’s too cliché . ” Scrutinizing Xing Biqi’s curvacious and refined figure, the corners of Chen Yu’s lips curled upward as he suggested, “How about we go swimming? Isn’t that indoor pool there open for business already?”
“But neither of us have s-swimsuits . ” Xing Biqi covered her face shyly .
“They sell some inside . We can just buy those . ” After saying so, Chen Yu pulled out his phone and dialed Chen Yike’s number . Once the call was connected, he went straight to the point and said, “Eldest, want to play at a swimming pool?”

“Yes!” Chen Yike shouted spontaneously through the phone .
“Bring Second Eldest as well . ”
“Okay!”
Disconnecting the call, Chen Yu pointed at the swimming complex and said, “Let’s go buy the tickets first . ”
“Wasn’t it supposed to be just the two of us…” The girl stopped talking . When she thought about how her “enemy” Chen Erke would be joining them, she couldn’t help but shudder .
“It’s livelier with more people . What fun is there if it’s just the two of us?”
“I-In that case, let me buy some gifts for your little sisters . By the way, what do Yike and Erke like?”
“Eldest likes doing exercise books . The more challenging it is, the happier she becomes . Second Eldest likes locks . If you buy her a bunch of metal locks that won’t break easily, she’ll definitely change her opinion of you and stick to you like glue . ”
“R-Really?” Xing Biqi couldn’t help but react dubiously to Chen Yu’s words .
“When have I ever lied to you? Go buy them . We’ll take independent action . I’ll go buy the tickets, and you’ll go buy the presents . ”
After saying so, Chen Yu promptly turned around and left .
Meanwhile, looking at Chen Yu’s shrinking figure, the girl revealed a happy smile and spoke to herself, “I love this mischievous side of you the most . How charming . ”
“???” The nearby deer blinked its eyes and tilted its head at the girl’s words .
…
Roughly thirty minutes later, Chen Yike arrived at the swimming complex together with her two little sisters in tow .
Chen Erke, who had initially been chattering with excitement, instantly went silent when she saw Xing Biqi’s figure beside Chen Yu . Her face crumpling, she muttered, “Why is that woman here again?”
“White Rabbit, Grape, and Peach Big Sister!” Chen Sanke dashed forward happily and hugged Xing Biqi’s thighs . She then rubbed her face against the thighs affectionately .
“Hello, Sanke . Long time no see . ” Opening her backpack, Xing Biqi pulled out an exquisite bag of dried salted fish . “Do you like this kind of snack?”
“I love it!” Chen Sanke’s round eyes lit up in joy . After taking the package from Xing Biqi, she tilted her head and tore open the bag with her fangs . She then took out a crispy salted fish from the bag, took a sniff at it, and cheered, “It smells nice! Thank you, Salted Fish Sister!”
“…” Chen Yu’s mouth twitched at Chen Sanke’s words . Just as he was about to reprimand his youngest sister, he suddenly discovered a blind spot . Snapping his head toward Xing Biqi, he berated, “Crap! Can you stop giving Third Eldest strange snacks in the future?!”
“N-Next time for sure . ” Xing Biqi scratched her head awkwardly . She then pulled out a box of Dove chocolates from her backpack and handed it to Chen Erke . “This is for you . Do you like it?”
“Why would I like anything from you?” Chen Erke clicked her tongue as she accepted the chocolates . After weighing the box in her hands, she asked, “What flavor is it?”
“It’s strawberry chocolate . ”
“I hate it even more . ” Opening the box, Chen Erke grabbed a piece and popped it into her mouth . While chewing, she said, “Mhm, it tastes bad . ”
Chen Yu: “…”
“It tastes horrible . Disgusting . ” After saying so, Chen Erke continued stuffing chocolate one piece after another into her mouth . “Blergh . ”
“Big Sis, do you have a gift for me?” Chen Yike asked with a smile as she put down the backpack she carried .
“Of course I do . Here, it’s this thing . Do you like it?”
“A Hello Kitty Crystal Hairpin!” Surprised by Xing Biqi’s gift, Xing Biqi hurriedly waved her hand and said, “No, it’s too expensive . That thing costs over a thousand yuan . ”
“It’s okay . Just take it . ” Forcefully stuffing the hairpin into Chen Yike’s hands, Xing Biqi said, “You should know that I’m quite well-off now, so this isn’t much . I also saw you sharing a photo of it on your social media . ”
“Over a thousand yuan?!” Chen Erke, who had been silently eating chocolate at a side, couldn’t help but be stunned . “A-Aren’t you a student? Where did you get so much money from?”
“In that case, thank you, Big Sis,” Chen Yike said as she awkwardly accepted the hairpin from Xing Biqi . After carefully closing the hairpin’s box and storing it into her backpack, she explained to Chen Erke, “Big Sis Biqi is very wealthy now! She’s a multi-millionaire!”
“M-Multi-millionaire?!” Chen Erke’s eyes widened in shock . After staring at Xing Biqi for a moment, she looked down at the box of chocolates in her hands . She then said, “A-Actually, these chocolates taste quite good . I’m starting to like you now . ”
“…” Turning to look at Xing Biqi, Chen Yu shrugged and said, “Hear that? You know she’s two-faced as soon as she opens her mouth . ”

Deniel is a youth in the hinterlands of Waccewald in the days immediately following Stanmark’s takeover. As a mere commoner, his life hasn’t been overly complicated yet by the change – but as winter sets in, this is about to change.
