Ch50 - I Will Go

In the second half of the journey, while Lei Ming was napping, the youth’s sighs never stopped for even a moment.

His brows furrowed, and a private stepped forward to take Chen You out of the cabin.

Sitting in a room filled with soldiers, Chen You continued to sigh.

Regardless of whether the method to turn beautiful was real or not, even if it was, he wouldn’t use it.

He wouldn’t even try it.

Simply having one big pendant was not guaranteed, and he was given a pair instead. He wasn’t a black hole.

Black hole.

This phrase itself is quite strange. Why did I think of it? Chen You seemed to hear a cry in the distance, as if he had just recalled something, only for it to slip away.

Forget it. Stay ugly, ba. This isn’t his real world and this isn’t his real body. It’s all fake.

I’m only afraid that it will hinder my mission.

After all, people are visual animals, and sight is at the forefront of the five senses.

Lei Ming could look at him, take another look, and not turn away in disgust or raise a hand to beat him. But that didn’t mean he wanted to be friends.

Chen You held his head in his hands. Ai, what should I do? I dug a pit for myself, and now it’s full of stones. My stomach can’t swallow this.

He sighed again, “Ai.”

The soldiers, “…”

This little thing must be sick. The major general is not done with him yet, but no one knows how it has bewitched him. He kept sending the little thing back and forth, and now he was even bringing it back to the Lei family home.

That evening, in the Lei family’s study, Lei Ming sat behind the desk with his legs crossed, tapping his fingers against the table.

Chen You had been called over for a while and shifted his posture as he continued to stand. Major General, say something, ah. Don’t just stare at me while you are silent as a grave. It’s a bit scary.

The tapping sound stopped and Lei Ming’s voice was deeper than usual, “You, has it been like that since childhood?”

Chen You paused for a moment, “Like what?”

Lei Ming coughed, looked at his pants, and simultaneously stretched out two fingers with a blank expression.

Chen You realized that he wasn’t to blame for his delayed reaction. He also suddenly got two pendants by accident, but he wasn’t used to them yet.

Of course, by the time he left this world, he probably still wouldn’t be used to them.

“Yes.” Chen You was embarrassed. He scratched his head and spoke under his breath, “Major General, I’ve been like this since I was a child.”

Lei Ming casually asked, “The cause?”

Chen You shook his head and replied, “I only know that my brothers are different from me, but I never dared tell them.”

Lei Ming’s jaw tightened.

The study was immediately enveloped by a subtle pressure.

Chen You’s nerves were strained. He looked at the man with a bad complexion, I feel your pain.

With these two big pendants, you probably haven’t done anything in all these years. First, you’re afraid of scaring people to death, and second, you’re afraid of becoming a subject of ridicule.

You haven’t had it easy either.

Lei Ming abruptly mentioned, “Your parents and eldest brother are dead, and your second brother is the only one left.”

Chen You didn’t understand why he brought this up.

Lei Ming’s gaze narrowed. A person’s eyes could reveal their true feelings. This child had no sorrow, as if these matters were unrelated to himself.

The corner of Chen You’s eye twitched. It’s over. I might have given myself away.

How odd, why was this man still staring at him? He couldn’t help but make a wild guess, Major General, have you ever been ugly?

Lei Ming suddenly got up from his seat and walked around the desk, approaching the young man step by step.

When he got close enough to smell the man’s breath, Chen You took a step back.

He looked up and discovered that the man was looking at him with a strange expression that was difficult to decipher.

Chen You was at a loss, You don’t think I’m your long lost brother, ba?

Major General, although we both have two pendants, our gap is so large that we are, at most, simply the same race.

He didn’t know how much time had passed, but Chen You suddenly found that something seemed to be wrong with his body. He scratched his neck and felt itchy all over.

Slowly, Chen You started breathing more rapidly as a thin layer of red began to appear in his eyes.

Lei Ming coldly ordered, “Get out!”

“Yes, Major General.”

Chen You turned around and left without stopping for a moment. After exiting the room, his body didn’t seem as itchy.

Was it an illusion? Chen You turned his head and looked back at the door. It should be that it’s time for me to take a shower.

Once the door was closed, Lei Ming’s face revealed an expression of confusion. He rubbed his forehead, unsure of what had just occurred. Suddenly, he raised his leg and kicked the desk.

The next day, the regiment commander personally came and asked Lei Ming to lead a team for an S-level mission. After he left, the servants showed their ugly faces to Chen You.

Although Chen You had already tried to reduce his sense of existence, he was still ridiculed by various cutting remarks and contemptuous looks, submerged by drops of spittle.

This time, he had a new harvest. The skin of this person could let others automatically reveal a variety of different things.

With a skin this ugly, no one cared about his inner beauty or whether or not he was good or evil.

Chen You ran out of water in his room. Though he endured it for some time, he ended up getting so thirsty that he couldn’t take it any more and exited his room. After opening the door, he accidentally saw a handsome servant bump into a younger servant and start scolding him ferociously.

The man who had gotten hit sobbed in a low voice as his shoulders shook.

Chen You didn’t want to meddle, but he desperately needed to ask where the kitchen was. He wasn’t only thirsty, but he was hungry as well.

He hadn’t eaten anything since he had been brought to the house a day ago.

Chen You picked up the fruit tray that had fallen onto the ground and placed the fruit back on it. While he was doing this, he secretly hid a few pieces in his clothing. He kindly asked, “Are you okay?”

After catching sight of who was speaking to him, the servant who had been hit was frightened. He snatched the fruit plate and stumbled away.

Chen You shook his head and tsked. If I was handsome and came at you with a knife, you wouldn’t care and you would just stare at me in awe. When I am ugly and I give you a bandage, not only are you not grateful, but you also still dislike me.

I really don’t know what to say.

Chen You still hadn’t found any food or drink before a group of servants came up to him and the one in front ordered, “Go wipe the floor.”

Chen You’s expression was bloody, “I wipe the floor?”

Chen You was 80% certain this servant was one of the managers here. His attitude was arrogant and his nostrils were very big. “If not you, then should I do it?”

Chen You didn’t move, and turned a deaf ear.

The group of servants walked forward and surrounded him.

He wasn’t sure who pushed him, but the back of Chen You’s head hit the edge of a wine cabinet.

“Any bottle of wine in there is worth more than your life. Do you want to die?”

Chen You was too lazy to argue with them and as he left, he heard laughter behind him.

“With a face that ugly, he still has the nerve to come out and show himself to other people. If I was him, I would bury myself.”

“Exactly. That ugly wretch is disgusting to look at. I don’t know what his parents were thinking. When he was born, he should have been thrown out to a garbage dump planet.”

“Say, will the master come back for him?”

“Don’t worry. When has the master ever taken charge of this kind of thing? He didn’t explain anything before he left, so he clearly doesn’t care about it.”

“When the master first brought back this little thing, I was so scared.”

“You don’t say! It’s good that the old man has already gone to other planets to play, otherwise, if he was frightened to death, we wouldn’t know what to do.”

Chen You acted as if he couldn’t hear any of these words. What kind of crazy talk is this? Fuck, the gossipy women in this world have actually reached such a level. Truly incomprehensible.

Are they not people, do they not have to work? Really too idle.

Chen You walked to the staircase and went upstairs. He felt the back of his head. There was a big bump. Fortunately, it wasn’t bleeding.

Isn’t it just wiping the floor?

Chen You rolled up his cuffs and got started, but the space was too big. It was so big that he would probably die before he finished.

He carelessly cleaned one layer, and then became a dead dog. His entire body collapsed on the ground, unable to wipe any more.

“444, I swear I will never again have any requirements for the people or tasks in the mission world. Random, ba. Everything will be random in the future.”

The system gave out a gratified feeling, “You’ve grown up.”

“Yes, yes, ah. I’ve been cheated by you.”

Chen You fell asleep just like that, leaning against a wall. He was woken up by the cold, continuously sneezing as he got up. His head was dizzy and he didn’t feel well.

When the servants passed by him, they covered their noses and mouths with their hands and hurried their steps.

Chen You stared, I just have a cold, nothing more. Do each and every one of you have to go so far?

He returned to his room and found that there was nothing left on the bed. All the used sheets and pillows had been thrown away.

Right, it was a clear sign for him to go away.

Chen You laughed at them. Okay, there are so many of you. You are very fierce and especially powerful and majestic. I am no match for you, so I will go.

But, let Laozi have a little something to eat first, ah. Your hearts are truly too poisonous. It seems the Lei family’s servants are just like this. I’m afraid Lei Ming doesn’t know, but I’ve seen how it is now.

In this unfamiliar city, cars were flying around overhead and the average life expectancy for people was 200 years old. Very nice.

Chen You couldn’t do anything else. His only skill was to enjoy himself in the midst of sorrow and adversity. He squatted on the side of the road, basking in the sun, and thought that his body could probably hold on for a few more days.

A little girl ran over, and Chen You bowed his head pretending to rearrange his pant legs, afraid of scaring the child to tears.

A piece of bread was handed to him, accompanied by a soft, childish voice, “Brother, this is for you to eat.”

Chen You fell into a daze and sighed with emotion. Children are still good. They won’t divide people into different classes.

He smiled, “Thank you, little angel.”

The little girl bashfully pinched her fingers. A young, married woman quickly walked over and grabbed the girl, forcefully pulling her away. Her mouth was teaching her daughter a lesson as she slapped her across the head.

“Mom bought bread for you, but you randomly gave it to some stranger, even giving it to this kind of weird and crazy person. Looking like that, you don’t know if he might eat other people!”

“…”

Big sister, I don’t eat people. Chen You opened his mouth, intending to give the bread back to the little girl, but ended up not calling out after thinking it over.

He’d already taken it, and the child’s mother probably wouldn’t ask for it back. It would be wasted in the trash can. It would be better to put it in his stomach.

Chen You looked around and found a more remote and undisturbed corner. He took big bites as he chewed on the bread. It was very tough and hard to swallow, like eating a dry piece of papyrus.

This was already something that only people with good incomes could afford. Furthermore, it was something that people in the same social class as Lei Ming could eat.

After finishing up the bread, Chen You leaned back and hugged himself as he prepared to sleep, “444, give me a lullaby. I need some comfort.”

In the next second, a soft voice began to ring, and the world seemed to turn beautiful and tranquil in this moment.

Chen You fell asleep, content.

Three days later, Lei Ming completed his mission and returned with an injury. After entering the house, he asked where the young man was.

Luoshenhua: So sorry for missing the chapter last week!
