Chapter 4 – Green, Green Grassland

Green grassland = green on the head = being cuckolded.

Seeing that the expression on Lin Chi’s face was not good, the doctor did not say that it too seriously: “Don’t be too discouraged. As long as the patient cooperates with the rehabilitation and takes good care of himself, there is still a high possibility that he will get better.”

Lin Chi then breathed a sigh of relief. He temporarily let go of his worries, and after asking for the details to clarify, he watched over by He Qing’s bed. As for Zhang Xu, he knew that the injured person was not Lin Chi, and he was not interested in accompanying him in the hospital. He stayed for a while then left.

At five o’clock in the afternoon, He Qing opened his eyes. Before Lin Chi could speak, his usually clever eyes looked straight ahead with gray eyes, and he stretched out his hand in a panic and scratched around, “This…Where is this!”

Lin Chi’s smile of joy at seeing him wake up fell again before it completely blossomed. He hurriedly grabbed He Qing’s hand stretched out in the air and held it closely to comfort him: “Ah Qing, this is in the hospital, don’t be scared……”

He originally thought He Qing was timid and afraid of the new environment, and the young man turned his head when he heard the sound. The big eyes that were formerly full of cleverness faced him but they were unfocused as they stared into the void, and Lin Chi’s heart was suddenly pierced.

He Qing heard his lover’s voice, relaxed a little, but firmly grasped his hand, and asked him timidly: “Ah Chi… you’re not hurt, right! Are you injured?”

Lin Chi’s heart warmed, his eyes softened involuntarily, “I’m fine, you pushed me away, I’m hurt at all.”

Hearing his answer, the young man was obviously relieved, with a very satisfied appearance. Lin Chi’s heart was sour and sweet. He never realized that being liked and protected by a person would be this sort of happiness. But the next moment, He Qing’s words would the him that was immersed in happiness and throw him into an ice box. The youngster’s gaze was vacant as he looked around, his voice soft and glutinous, full of puzzlement, “Is it late now? Why don’t you turn on the lights?” [tl: glutinous = kind of soft and squishy]

After he finished speaking, he waited quietly for Lin Chi to answer. Lin Chi shook his hands, waving them in front of He Qing’s open eyes. The young man still looked ahead with his eyes open, the eyelashes not even fluttering.

Lin Cheng had been busy ever since coming out of the hospital. When he finally remembered Lin Chi, it was already three days later. The man rubbed the space between his eyebrows, looking a little tired. Although he had no affection for this son, he was the future heir, so he drove home.

Just as he opened the door, Lin Cheng’s eyebrows wrinkled. The light was not in the living room, completely dark, but there were sounds from the TV. When did Lin Chi develop a habit of turning off the lights and watching TV?

He changed his shoes, planning to go to see Lin Chi, only to find that the person sitting on the sofa was not Lin Chi, but a teenager with white gauze wrapped around his eyes and a leg wrapped in plaster. Lin Cheng slightly wrinkled his brow but did not speak yet. The teenager heard a sound of movement and turned his body around. Clearly, he couldn’t see, but he still showed a big smile at the person coming, his voice was full of trust: “Ah Chi, you’re back~”

His face was very small, and the gauze alone occupies one-half of his face, but his smile was very sweet. The dimple on his right cheek were faintly discernible, and the light of the TV is fell on his face, making this smiling face even more colorful. Lin Cheng’s footsteps paused, opened his mouth to speak, but saw that the young man smiled happily and raised the sketchbook in his hand, and handed it to him a little proudly: “Ah Chi, look, I drew this this afternoon. Does it look good?” [tl: no, the double “this” is not a mistake, I did it on purpose ]

Lin Cheng, with demons and gods at work, reached out and took the sketchbook. It was a simple picture, the sun, a house, a road, and a big tree. Because the person who drew it was blind, some lines were not connected, but it could be seen that the teenager has worked very hard on it. [tl: “demons and gods at work” (鬼使神差) means “unexplained event” or “unusual coincidence”. Here I guess it means, “for some inexplicable reason”]

After he finished looking at it, he looked at the boy again, but saw the unfamiliar boy had an expectant look. It seems he was waiting for “Lin Chi’s” praise.

He Qing waited until all the flowers withered, before a hand gently patted him on the head. He quietly let the hand pat him like petting a kitten. He waited for half a day but did not receive the system prompt, and lamented a bit : 【Chichi is really stingy ah~ I am blind and crippled, why is he stuck on 75! 】[tl: waited until all the flowers withered = waited a long time.]

The system faintly answered: 【The higher the favorability value, the harder it is to add more, don’t you know? But host, this person is not Lin Chi. 】

Not Lin Chi?

He Qing was almost unable to maintain his lovable expression. For the past three days, he hadn’t seen anyone except Lin Chi and the cleaning auntie. The cleaning auntie couldn’t have come around at this time, so upon seeing someone coming, logically he thought it was Lin Chi.

If it’s not Lin Chi, then who is it?

He kept the docile expression on his face and let the man rub his head, but he slowly began to smell the scent of the person in front of him. En…very fresh, didn’t use cologne, feels like it should be a meticulous… wait a minute, he has a system, why does he still need to smell it himself?

The system expressed disdain: 【Who let you make yourself blind! 】

【If I am not blind, how can I keep in contact with Chichi day and night, and live in his house! This is called being dedicated, don’t you know? 】

【Oh. 】 Mechanical sound was very indifferent: 【Except for checking the favorability value, system has no obligation to help host. This dedicated host, you only need to pay 1888, then you can enjoy the blind person service, please choose pick an option: 1. purchase, 2. purchase double. 】

This damn money grubbing system!

He Qing was not used to his ailment, so he snorted coldly in his heart, 【I choose 3, not buying! Smell it myself! 】

The stroking on top of his head finally stopped. He Qing discerned carefully, there seemed to be a faint smell of mint in the air. He couldn’t smell it clearly, so he moved forward, but forgot that he was now in an injured state. The right leg that was in the cast could not support his weight and he slipped forward.

“Ah Qing! I’m back!” Lin Chi opened the door while holding food, his eyes glanced at the living room and was immediately stunned. Next to the sofa, the man with a tall figure and straight legs in formal suit stood with his back facing him, embracing a young man with a perplexed expression and gauze wrapped around his eyes. Hearing his voice, Lin Cheng turned around, his angular face still had the usual cold expression, but his hands were carefully wrapped around He Qing’s waist.

The young man’s slender waist was held in his hands, and Lin Cheng’s arms were tight, his eyes were sharp and his tone of voice was indifferent, just like a boss talking to a subordinate: “Came back?”

Lin Chi did not expect that he would suddenly come back, and subconsciously straightened his back and sucked in his abdomen: “Father, you’ve returned.”

“En.” Seeing Lin Cheng make a sound of reply, yet with no intention to let go of the person in his arms, Lin Chi gathered some courage and stepped forward, reaching out to hold He Qing’s hand. Seeing that the young man was a little frightened and wanted to pull back, his heart felt went soft, and coaxed him: “Ah Qing, it’s me.”

The soft and fair hand stopped hiding, rather it stretched forward more actively. When he reached Lin Chi’s hand, his other hand gently pushed away the man’s strong arm, trying to get out of his bosom. Lin Cheng slowly let go, watching the young man groping and hiding by Lin Chi like a young swallow escaping into the forest, and his brows wrinkled in a very small arc.

Lin Chi didn’t notice the strangeness of his father. He gently patted his frightened lover on the back, and said softly to He Qing, “Ah Qing, this is my father.”

The boy timidly pinched the corner of Lin Chi’s clothes and bowed forward to say hello: “Hello, uncle…” He was scared and ashamed in his heart, because he had just recognized the wrong person and threw himself in the arms of his lover’s father. He was afraid that Lin Chi’s father would not like him because of this.

Lin Chi looked at Lin Cheng with some apprehension, and explained: “Father, this is He Qing. He can’t see, and his leg is injured. He really nowhere to go, so he stayed at our house for a few days.”

Lin Chi was actually a little uncertain whether his father would agree to it. According to his impression, Lin Cheng absolutely hated someone invading his territory, even himself was not okay. Now there was suddenly a stranger in the house, and it was too likely that he would not agree.

Lin Cheng’s eyes were still cold. He looked at the uneasy teenager whose fingers were pinched white. “Okay.” Before the two could be happy, he continued: “Lin Chi, you and him, what sort of relationship do you have?”

Lin Chi’s face turned pale, and he didn’t dare to tell the truth anymore, “It’s a classmate, father.”

Lin Cheng passed over him, towering above, and saw He Qing’s originally rosy face had turned pale. As if he wanted to say something, his lips moved a few times, but in the end he didn’t make a sound. He quietly acquiesced to the answer from his classmate, only the hand grabbing Lin Chi’s sleeve grasped even tighter. [tl: “towering above” was actually “living high while looking down” (居高临下) but it didn’t fit right in the sentence]

He Qing, with a pale face, listened to the system’s voice next to his ear: 【Lin Chi’s favorability value: 79】 He hung his head with a sad appearance, but he laughed heehee in his heart: 【This Lin Chi’s dad must be sent by God to assist me! Too awesome! Later, will there be a check to let me leave his son, ne? Aiya, looking forward to it~】

The “sad” He Qing with his hanging head didn’t notice that Lin Chi’s father’s gaze never left his body. At this moment, the always cold and expressionless face now has a complexion that was as deep as a hidden abyss, making people unable to see through it.

The author has something to say:

The real gong is the President Daddy! It’s President Daddy! ! Daddy! !

Lin Chi: Have a cup of green grassland, forgive the green, thank you

As to why our slag gong Chichi didn’t tell the truth, we’ve all fallen off the horse before, so I would like to give you all a reminder 23333, the President Daddy is 34 years old, and Lin Chi is 18~ [tl: 23333 is basically “hahahaha”]

Anyway, even if I don’t say it, the witty you can guess it ╮( ￣ ▽ ￣’)╭ [tl: if you aren’t witty (I’m not very witty) and still don’t get it, it will be revealed next chapter]
