Chapter 28 – Second parent (Translated by Xing and edited by Souhi)

Yu Yan previously promised to treat Tang Xue . Hence, he gave her a call . Tang Xue tricked Li Yubing into going to the Sky Yard before heading to a seafood restaurant on the food street with Yu Yan to eat lobsters and oysters .

When ordering the dishes, she ordered a can of cola . Yu Yan could not drink carbonated drinks and stuck with soy milk .

Yu Yan sat across her and watched her gestures .

His head was slightly tilted to the side . His soft, dewy eyes were bright and held a quiet focus . This expression was like that of a puppy that had yet to be weaned—br.i.m.m.i.n.g with watchful curiosity about the entire world .

Tang Xue was tickled . She lightly waved the can of cola in her hand and asked, “Don’t tell me you haven’t tried it before?”

Yu Yan shook his head .

“Not even once?”

“Mm . ”

It was as if she saw an alien . Tang Xue looked at him with an incredulous look on her face .

Her expression was too exaggerated . Being stared at by her like this, Yu Yan self-consciously pursed his lips and explained, “I’m not allowed to drink these . ”

“I know . I used to be an athlete previously . The coach forbade me from drinking these as well . But I’ll still sneak a few sips occasionally . ” As Tang Xue said this, she was about to gulp a mouthful of the cola . However, seeing how Yu Yan was staring at her wistfully, she stopped and asked with a smile, “Hey, do you want to give this a try?”

Yu Yan shook his head .

“Just to taste . Taking only one sip would be fine . ” Tang Xue grabbed a gla.s.s and poured in around two, three centimetres worth of cola before pa.s.sing it to over .

She giggled as she looked at him . He felt a little wavered .

After a slight hesitation, he gripped the gla.s.s and took a sip .

It was a very strange taste . A tiny bit like medicine but way more refres.h.i.+ng and delicious . When he drank, the bubbles had yet to finish fizzing . The cool liquid met the warmth of his mouth and once again started fizzing vigorously . It felt like there were numerous tiny stars dancing in his mouth .

After the tiny stars stopped dancing, Yu Yan swallowed the cola and licked his lips . Feeling a little unsatisfied, he held up the gla.s.s and wanted to take another swallow .

Tang Xue quickly s.n.a.t.c.hed it away . “Hey, hey, one sip is enough . What if you get addicted? I don’t want to lead children astray . ”

“I’m not a child . ”

“Okay, okay, okay, you’re not a child . You’re a precious baby . ”

“……”

Completely disregarding Yu Yan’s expression of shock, Tang Xue took the gla.s.s back . Seeing how there was still some cola inside, she felt that it was a waste to throw it away . Thus, she resourcefully poured the remaining cola back into her can .  

The process was not easy and she spilled a little as she did so .

Upon seeing what she had done, Yu Yan felt his cheeks heated up inexplicably .

The minced garlic lobsters and grilled oysters were served . The two of them chatted as they ate .

Yu Yan asked Tang Xue, “You said that you were an athlete . What sport did you play?”

“Speed skating . ”

Yu Yan did not ask her why she stopped . An athlete’s journey was arduous and he had seen way too many who had given up halfway .

The chef had controlled the heat well while cooking the lobsters . The lobster meat was sweet and tender . Accompanied by the fragrant garlic, it made Tang Xue dig in with relish . Looking at the way she ate, a smile tugged at Yu Yan’s lips . Suddenly, he asked, “Have you ever thought of trying figure skating instead? I think your build is excellent and you have a great sense of balance . ”

His demeanour was like a salesperson recommending her a product . Tang Xue purposely teased him . “Why not the both of us try pair skating?”

“Ah?”

Tang Xue held her chin . “Ahhh, I’m just not sure if you can lift me up with your small frame . ”

“I’m still growing . ”

Tang Xue glanced at him . From his gleaming eyes, it was obvious that he was answering this question earnestly . She burst into laughter . “Don’t believe everything you hear, silly . If I could do figure skating, I would have done so already . Back then, my coach felt that I don’t have any artistic talent at all . That’s why he recommended me to do speed skating instead . ” She could remember that during that same period, the coach had recommended Li Yubing to play ice hockey . She was puzzled for a very long time . This was because Li Yubing was pretty good at playing the cello and he definitely did not lack any artistic talent .

Only after b.u.mping into Li Yubing again and seeing how this rascal had reached 1 . 88 m did she realized what great foresight that coach had—doing figure skating at such height was difficult and he’ll probably fall more than he could skate .

Tang Xue had only just casually thought about Li Yubing that scoundrel when unexpectedly, as if he heard her summon, he suddenly called her .

She wrinkled her brows and immediately rejected his call .

He called again .

He called again .

Yu Yan saw that the caller ID displayed by Tang Xue’s phone was “Ice Dog” and guessed that it was Li Yubing .

The third time Tang Xue rejected Li Yubing’s call, she resolutely turned off her phone . Yu Yan saw her annoyed expression, hesitated before finally asking, “Didn’t you say that you’ve ditched him for good?”

“That was before . ” Tang Xue held her forehead, exasperated . “I must had been a pig butcher in my past life . ”

“He was a pig?”

“No, he was a dog . When I sold pork, he would crouch beside my stall and look at me longingly, waiting for me to throw him a bone . But I never did . Because of this enmity in our past lives, he’s determined to get back at me in this lifetime . ”

This was the first time Yu Yan heard someone describe their relations.h.i.+p with their enemy in such an…… unique and vivid manner .

Seeing how troubled she was, he could not help feeling a little anxious . “What’s wrong?”

“I can’t break free from this tangle . To summarize, I owe him money, and it’s not a small sum either . It’s not a debt that I can clear quickly . ”

“How much is it?”

“30,000 plus . ” Thinking about this, Tang Xue suddenly smiled . “But don’t you worry, I’ve already thought of a solution to fix him . ”

“What solution?”

She narrowed her eyes and said, “First, I’ll trick him to the office and lock the door . Then, I’ll take off my clothes and——”

Yu Yan was drinking his soy milk . Upon hearing this, he choked from shock . He began to cough violently, his entire face turning red .

Tang Xue pulled out some paper napkins for him . She continued, “I’m not done explaining, I’m not going to do anything to him . Don’t let your imagination run wild…… What I mean is that then, I’ll threaten him by saying that he molested me . Do you think he still won’t be convinced?”

Yu Yan thought, whether he would be convinced or not, I have no idea . But I know I certainly am .

“Don’t do it . That’s a bad idea . ” Yu Yan wiped his mouth and regained his breath .

Tang Xue rubbed her chin . “I think it’s pretty good . ”

“No way, you’re a girl . And……” At this, he abruptly stopped .

Tang Xue probed curiously, “And what?”

Tang Xue probed curiously, “And what?”

Yu Yan thought, I don’t want you to take off your clothes in front of him .

——

Yu Yan returned to his dorm and took out a large, rectangular tin box from his wardrobe . This tin box used to store candy . Out of the numerous candies in the large tin, he only ate one piece . Then, the tin was given to him .

It was filled with certificates and medals .

His roommate Song Zhiyuan saw him fiddled with the box . He came over to see what was going on and gasped in admiration . “Woah! Cool!” His words were filled with awe and envy .  

From the pile of medals, Yu Yan selected one . He examined it closely and asked Song Zhiyuan, “Do you think this can be sold for money?”

Song Zhiyuan was also a figure skater . However, he was only a mere mortal unable to measure up to a genius . Upon hearing what Yu Yan said, Song Zhiyuan exclaimed, “These are all glorious achievements . How can you attach a price to them? That’s cra.s.s as heck!”

“What’s that site for selling second-hand items?”

“I think it’s IdleFish…… Are you seriously going to sell it? It’s a medal!” Song Zhiyuan felt his heart winced even though the medal was not even his……

Yu Yan was unperturbed . “Even if I sell one, there’ll be more in the future . ”

Song Zhiyuan rolled his eyes . “f.u.c.k off . ”

……

A few days later, Tang Xue suddenly received 40,000 yuan from Yu Yan on WeChat . She choked from shock and hurriedly called him .

“Yu Yan, what are you doing?”

“Take it to repay your debt . ”

“Wait, no, where did you get this money from? It’s such a huge sum . ”

“Oh . ” Yu Yan pondered for a while and thought of a lie . “It’s the prize money from a compet.i.tion . ”

“No way, take it back . I’ll be such a sc.u.mbag if I use your prize money to repay Li Yubing . ” Tang Xue was going to die of agitation .

“I don’t have any use for it . ”

“Just store it in a savings account to acc.u.mulate interest . ” Tang Xue held her head and commented helplessly, “Say, why are you so silly, giving me money after I complained to you? Is it that you’ll give money to everyone who complains to you?”

“I don’t have any use for it . ”

“Just store it in a savings account to acc.u.mulate interest . ” Tang Xue held her head and commented helplessly, “Say, why are you so silly, giving me money after I complained to you? Is it that you’ll give money to everyone who complains to you?”

“No,” he mumbled softly .

“Please don’t be so trusting!”

“Oh . ” His voice shrank even softer .

Tang Xue warmed her tone and said, “I’m touched by your intention but there’s really no need for the money . Still, thank you though . I really appreciate it . ”

“Tang Xue,” Yu Yan suddenly called her name .

“Ah?”

“Do you prefer to owe me money or do you prefer to owe Li Yubing money?”

“……”

Tang Xue could barely believe that she was convinced by this silly lad with just one sentence . She was suddenly very puzzled, so was this lad actually a fool or a genius?

She was going to take his money and it was a somewhat embarra.s.sing issue after all . Tang Xue scratched her head and said, “Alright then, I’ll work part-time and slowly return you the money . ”

“Mm . ” This time, his voice had a hint of a smile .

“Yu Yan, from now on, you’re my second parent . ”

Yu Yan: = =

I don’t want to be your parent……

……

After she got the money, Tang Xue imagined the best and most imposing way to toss it onto Li Yubing’s face . No matter how she deliberated, she felt that she would have lost by simply pa.s.sing the money to him .

No way . That was unacceptable .

She needed to get back at him first .
