《The Hidden Artefact》Chapter 9

Who do you remind me of?
“You are my sister after all”
Chen Fei widened her eyes as she heard the bold claims from the man in front of her. She has never heard such nonsense in her life, for she doesn’t remember having a brother who runs a coffee shop.
However, he did resemble someone she knows…
“Sister? Who said I am even related to you?”
She retorted back coldly, she felt uncomfortable that this man called her his sister.
Sky Yun knew she doesn’t remember him from looking at her reaction, so he decided not to bring up the subject. He does not care if the family finds him or not, he has cut ties with them in his mind a long time ago.
There was a time however, he wanted revenge. But that’s all in the distant past now, he grew up and realised that revenge is a sign of weakness and he should move on and focus on himself.
He turned around, and started to make coffee. Chen Fei looked at him, and was confused on why he did not respond to her.
‘Come to think about it, he did not even look at me when I came in either…’
Ever since she was in high school, men turned and looked at her no matter where she was. Her beauty mesmerized many, including now in Shanghai.
‘He perhaps did not realise I came in…?’
She did not know why she felt the need to think about it, but something does not feel right.
As she was in deep thought, Sky Yun handed her coffee and sat back down on his stool and continued to read his book.
Chen Fei was still in thought, until her friends called her name.
“Feifei, hurry up so he can start talking!”

She snapped out of her thought, and realised that her coffee was already in front of her. She was about to shout at Sky Yun, till she realised he was focused on reading his book rather than caring about her at all.
This was a first for her, she was a part of the famous Chen Family of Beijing, she was always the centre of attention and was the dream girl of many. Yet this man who claimed to be her brother wasn’t bothered by her at all.
She decided to not think about it at all, so she grabbed her coffee and went towards her friends table.
Sky Yun, who knew that Chen Fei was confused, chuckled.
He finished reading his book, checking the time on his watch it was nearly lunch.
The counter had a kitchen, installed with a stove and fridge filled with ingredients he bought from the market close by.
Sky Yun had one hobby for many years, that was cooking.
He felt calm and in peace whilst cooking, his mind only focused on what he is making rather than what’s going on in his life.
The table filled with university students were in a deep discussion, he did not care about the drama they were having.
He stood up from his seat, and went towards the fridge.
He decided to make mixed vegetable stir fry, something he liked to eat and was extremely healthy for the body.
He took out ingredients from the fridge. He then went inside the cupboard to find a large wok and placed it on the stove.
He placed 1 tablespoon of oil and started to fry the broccoli. After a minute of frying the broccoli, he added a splash of water and covered the lid for 3 minutes.
He began to then peel the garlic, then crushed it into 4 garlic cloves. Then he sliced the ginger and grated it, he peeled and sliced the carrots too.

He chopped mushrooms, and cut the asparagus into bite sized pieces.
This took 3 minutes, and already the broccoli was done.
He lifted the lid, then tipped all the vegetables that he was preparing into the pan for 5 minutes.
During this whole sequence of events, the university students were all looking at Sky Yun. The smell coming from the counter made them drool and distracted them from their talk.
“What is he cooking?”
“I think it is stir fry?”
Chen Fei was looking at Sky Yun with squinted eyes, he reminds her of someone she knows, but she does not know who she is resembling him towards.
“Feifei, I have never seen you look at another man this much before. No way, the goddess of Beijing is in love??”
Ouyang Na, who was known for her cheeky remarks to her best friend was shocked to see the cold beauty was looking at another person, let alone another man!
“Wha- no! He just reminds me of someone I know that’s all…”
Chen Fei turned her head and stared at her friend next to her.
“Anyways, Zhao Tuo, you cheated on her because you thought she was cheating on you? What is this nonsense?!”
Back to their talk, Sky Yun heard everything they were talking about despite focused on cooking. In terms of looks, Sky Yun did not look like his father at all. He was known for looking like his mother so much that if he wore a wig people would think it was her.
However, after years of missions and a more healthier life style, he looked more completely different from when he was younger. However, he still had the big bright eyes that were like his mothers.
He went back to focusing on cooking, after frying the vegetables, he placed a slurry of soy sauce and cornflour and drizzled it over the vegetables and stirred it to coat it evenly.
He then placed it on a plate, and grabbed a fork and started to dig in.
The conversation at the table was over, and from what Sky Yun could see, Zhao Tuo was forgiven and everything was harmonious.
They stood up from their seats, and went towards the counter and paid for their coffees.
Chen Fei looked over at the man who was eating his food alone, she was racking her mind, trying to figure out who he resembles so deeply in her mind.
Xiao Xin, Ouyang Na, Yu Sheng and Zhao Tuo all turned their heads and stared at Chen Fei, she did not care anymore and continued to think harder and harder…
Then she realised… why does he look exactly like her mother?
He even said he was her brother as well, now she was truly confused.
Sky Yun, who was eating, looked up at her and stared deeply into her eyes.
“You really do look like that fucker huh…”
Chen Fei really did look like that bastard of a father, which irritated Sky Yun slightly. Although he does not hate his sister at all, just the thought of that man causes him to feel disgusted.
“You mean… my father?”
Chen Fei hesitantly said.
Sky Yun then continued to eat his food, not answering that question at all. Chen Fei took the hint and walked out with her friends who were confused at their interaction.
‘I need to meet mother… and ask her what is going on…’

YAOS 1 - Limitless Adventures - Yet Another OP Story Book 1
December 23rd 2018: Book 1 is now up at Smashwords and at Amazon. December 30th 2018: V1.1.2 of YAOS Book 1 is out, some content additions, fixed typos. Amazon's enhanced typesetting now displays tables properly. YAOS is shown through the eyes of some genius athlete getting OP inside a VR, ah wait, Full Immersion game, ?F.I.O?. Not a Hero, not a Nerd, just a driven individual paying for mistakes made, biding time until he can return to the Real World. He isn't defined like you'd normally do it, you can pick his looks and name all on your own, just like you do in video games. Believe it or not, keeping his looks undefined is harder than you think. His backstory isn't expounded in detail, but it drives his choices. Book 1 isn't about depressing sob stories but about fun and rushing forward, pursuing new horizons. Oh, and you'll end on a cliffhanger! Well, most serials do, so you will probably expect that without being told explicitly. But it isn't that bad, there's a lot of reveals and more to come once this book, that is the first in a planned three-part series, is finally ready for release on amazon et al. The published version will have: 1.) Godawful speaker tags, I hate them, they make you stop thinking and speed up editing so much. In hindsight they should have been in to begin with. But I stand by my goals proclaimed earlier. You guys should think while reading, that is the whole point of the exercise. Apply the knowledge and ideas, improve yourself, get creative! 2.) Pretty colored tables, the damned blue boxes, a lot of work, 69 in one book. Finally fixed amazon's centering issue. Can't say I liked the hours needed to debug that. 3.) The promised Mitara chapters. 4.) A cover! 5.) And lastly, updated polished versions of several chapters. MC shares more of his past, some terrible chapters (esp. 32) finally work. Some new scenes, minor rewrites in parts. Text flow and other issues. The current challenge is to maintain essential ambiguity while satisfying people wanting to know more without thinking three steps ahead. Balancing one with the other is tough. The smut which was in remains, but the story told is not to be superseded by it. A 15+ rating for the first book is also important, not to mention, YAOS wasn't meant to contain any smut to begin with. If the Author can turn to writing full time his output should increase, so please support YAOS #1 once it does finally release. ~Thank You~ No maps so far, that should be in, but is really hard to get done right. Again, tips are appreciated. Update September 2017: Stubbed chapters, sorry guys, currently don't have time to upload them elsewhere, polishing book 1 and 2, writing 3, takes precedence. Book 1 is in heavy editing, too much to keep synced and continuing editing. I'd need a site which offers JS-free rapid managing of chapters and comments. Coding one myself or setting a premade up is out of scope until I'm done with the books. RRL-old offered that, nuff said. This is only here because the author believes in fairies, nobody reads this, most likely. October to December 2017: Life threw some curveballs. February 2018: Book 2 draft 1 completed, at ~150K words. Book 2 is fairly epic in scope, requires 1 rewritten chapter, some editing. Tables and miscellanea are in, but needs at least a grammar pass. March 2018: Book 3 at 28k words, first arc, rest needs serious planning for spin-off and satisfying conclusion. July 2018: Yet another proofing/editing session of books 1-3, 101+ chapters, ~300k words. B3 at 48k, starts out great, but no ETA, no wordcount limit, in flux. But prioritizing my writing cannot be done, I hate the delays as much as you, but you will prefer the whole released in a timely fashion rather than wait. Knowing myself how excruciating waiting can be, at least you'll get significantly polished versions and an ETA on book 2 by release of book 1. December 23rd 2018: Book 1 is now up at Smashwords and in the process at Amazon et. al.. . To all who wait patiently, offered feedback, thanks again!
