Regarding Su Zhiwei’s question, Ruan Qing casually nodded.
“I have an impression of that kid; he doesn’t seem to fit
your previous aesthetics,” Su Zhiwei said, glancing at Ruan Qing while cutting
fruits. His tone remained unchanged, as if he was simply chatting casually with
his nephew. “Has your taste changed recently?”
Ruan Qing replied nonchalantly, “Just agreed without much
thought.”
After Su Zhiwei finished cutting the fruit into small pieces
and skewering them with toothpicks, he handed them to Ruan Qing. “Did you agree
so casually because you’re lacking a boyfriend?”
Ruan Qing took the fruit and made a perfunctory “Hmm” sound,
clearly indicating that he didn’t want to continue the conversation with Su
Zhiwei.
He indeed didn’t want to talk to the other. He was only
thinking about how he could obtain the keys.
He didn’t necessarily have to take it; he just needed to get
a glimpse of it and then recreate a copy.
When Su Zhiwei opened the office door earlier, Ruan Qing was
standing behind him and didn’t see the key. Otherwise, this wouldn’t have been
so troublesome.
But the villa at Su’s residence was much more accessible than
the office, and achieving his goal should be as simple as offering a glass of
water.
“If you’re lacking a boyfriend...” Su Zhiwei looked at the
impatient teenager in front of him, revealing a smile, and then calmly spoke,
“Why not consider your uncle?”
“Cough, cough...“
Ruan Qing was contemplating how to take the key from Su
Zhiwei. He was caught off guard by what Su Zhiwei said. He had just stuffed a
piece of fruit into his mouth and choked on it.
Ruan Qing instantly felt uncomfortable, and a faint blush
appeared at the corners of his eyes. His beautiful gaze became misty,
shimmering and captivating.
Su Zhiwei’s gaze paused for a moment. Seeing Ruan Qing in
distress, he quickly helped pat his back, showing great tenderness and
consideration. “How could you be so careless?”
Su Zhiwei’s tone carried concern, showing no self-awareness
as the instigator. It seemed like he didn’t realize how shocking and outrageous
his words had just been.
It made Ruan Qing almost think that he had misheard.
Ruan Qing’s coughing caught the attention of the nanny
working on the other side of the living room.
“Master, are you okay?” She immediately ran over in concern,
and together with Su Zhiwei, patted Ruan Qing’s back and used her other hand to
help him breathe smoothly by placing it on his chest.
Su Zhiwei looked at the nanny’s hand on Ruan Qing’s chest,
and although his expression remained unchanged from before, his usually
indifferent eyes darkened imperceptibly.
After Ruan Qing felt much better, he pushed the nanny’s hand
away. “I’m fine.”
The nanny glanced at the two of them and reluctantly returned
to her work post.
“You,” Su Zhiwei watched the nanny’s retreating figure and
withdrew his gaze, then turned to Ruan Qing and continued speaking, “You’re so
careless. How can you be okay without someone taking care of you? Those
inexperienced high school kids wouldn’t know how to take care of anyone.”
“You should seriously consider your uncle. Coincidentally, I
also need a boyfriend.”
Obviously, what just happened was not a hallucination. Ruan
Qing looked at Su Zhiwei in shock.
Seeing Ruan Qing’s gaze, Su Zhiwei smiled gently, like a warm
breeze, and slowly voiced his thoughts. “How can a group of ignorant kids deserve
our little princess? What they like is nothing more than the power and wealth
of the Su family, not you as a person.”
“But your uncle is different.”
“Your uncle doesn’t lack anything and won’t deceive you for
money and power. I will only genuinely treat you well.”
“Whatever you need or want, your uncle can provide it. What
others can give, your uncle can also give. And what others can’t give, your
uncle can still give.”
“Your uncle can unconditionally spoil you forever. Even if
you want the stars in the sky, your uncle will find a way to pluck them for
you.”
Su Zhiwei spoke with great seriousness, as if he was not
joking. If it were someone else facing this Su Zhiwei, they might have been
moved, considering that even people’s parents couldn’t do what he said.
But Ruan Qing was not moved and had no intention to consider
it. He only looked at Su Zhiwei with an expression as if he was looking at a
lunatic. “...Are you going crazy? You’re my biological uncle.”
(T/N: Okay. I think there’s a part in past
chapters that mentioned Su Zhiwei being the grandson of some person who was
close to the Su family and when he died, the Su family adopted Su Zhiwei. I
don’t know if the author forgot about it or I just mistranslated that part.
It’s probably the latter. So, now, it turned out that Su Zhiwei is biologically
related to the owner of Ruan Qing’s current body. I apologize for the
mistranslation. >_<)
Ruan Qing really didn’t expect Su Zhiwei to go so far as to
say such things to his own nephew. It would be one thing if he lacked ethical
morals, but wasn’t he afraid of the original owner’s father and mother, the Su
family, killing him?
One should know that no matter how much a younger brother was
valued, he could never surpass one’s own son.
If Su Father and Mother knew that Su Zhiwei said such things
to Su Qing, they would probably kick Su Zhiwei out of the Su family.
No... Su Father and Mother were away on a business trip and
wouldn’t be back for ten days.
Moreover, they were busy with work, so they hadn’t spent much
time with the original owner. If the original owner had been replaced, they
might not even notice.
And the monster that would replace the original owner... how
could it possibly go and complain to Su Father and Mother? In other words, Su
Father and Mother would have no idea that something else had replaced their
son, and they wouldn’t know that Su Zhiwei had said such things to him.
That’s why Su Zhiwei was so fearless.
No... maybe he’s even more fearless than he thought.
After all, if Su Father and Mother were to hinder him, Su
Zhiwei, who could go so far as to sacrifice an entire school’s students to the
monster, might quietly kill them.
And Ruan Qing didn’t think that Su Zhiwei was genuinely
interested in him. Setting aside their relationship, Su Zhiwei had never
expressed any liking for the original owner. It seemed that he didn’t even
consider the original owner important, especially since he wouldn’t have
deliberately brought the original owner to the First High School if he cared
about him.
Yet, he’s now saying such things.
...Maybe these words weren’t meant for him but for the future
owner of this body.
So that monster was really... Su Zhiwei’s boyfriend?
Ruan Qing glanced at Su Zhiwei. The other couldn’t wait to
establish a romantic relationship with the monster. He couldn’t even wait for a
few days?
“What’s wrong with being your uncle? We’re not having a
child,” Su Zhiwei chuckled lightly, speaking words that shattered common sense,
with a touch of elegance that portrayed the refined scoundrel to the fullest.
As Su Zhiwei continued speaking, he glanced at Ruan Qing’s
belly with a playful expression. “Besides, you... probably can’t have children
either.”
“Of course.” Su Zhiwei pushed his gold-rimmed glasses and
spoke with a serious tone, “If you can conceive, I will definitely provide the
best for our child. There’s no need to worry about the child’s health.”
Su Zhiwei’s voice carried a playful and teasing tone. His
deep and magnetic voice had a certain charm, as if it could penetrate into
one’s heart, making people unconsciously indulge in it, disregarding what he
was saying.
However, Ruan Qing’s attention was not on the voice but
rather on the sinking feeling in his heart. Setting aside the question of
whether they could have a child, what did it mean by ‘no need to worry about
the child’s health’?
It was well known that offspring from close relatives had a
high probability of having deformities due to genetic issues. It couldn’t be
guaranteed to be healthy, and yet Su Zhiwei spoke so confidently, almost openly
discussing the matter of changing bodies.
Was Su Zhiwei... testing whether he knew about the incident
at the First High School?
As Su Zhiwei leaned closer, preparing to say something else,
Ruan Qing restrained the expression in his eyes and looked at Su Zhiwei with an
expression that said, ‘You must be insane’.
He then reached out and slammed the content of the fruit
plate onto Su Zhiwei’s head, followed by a cold remark, “If you’re sick, go
take your medication. Don’t bring your sickness here!”
After saying that, Ruan Qing walked away directly.
The fruit juice from the overturned fruits trickled down,
dirtying Su Zhiwei’s hair. A few strands of hair stuck together as well. Some
juice even dripped onto his white shirt, leaving stains, and the fallen fruits
landed on his suit pants, making him look disheveled.
Yet Su Zhiwei didn’t seem angry; in fact, he appeared rather
pleased. He gazed at Ruan Qing as he walked away, his eyes deep and mysterious.
The nanny who had been working nearby heard the sound of the
fruit plate falling and hurried over. She saw Su Zhiwei’s disheveled
appearance.
“Mr. Su, are you okay?” The nanny took out a clean towel,
intending to help Su Zhiwei wipe himself.
Su Zhiwei glanced at the nanny and waved his hand away
indifferently, saying, “Get lost.”
The nanny froze upon meeting Su Zhiwei’s gaze and
instinctively took several steps back.
Although Su Zhiwei’s gaze contained no killing intent or
imposing aura, it was just a casual look. It still sent a chill down her spine.
She couldn’t summon any resistance, and her body instinctively weakened.
It seemed like she was seeing something terrifying.
The nanny immediately realized it and quickly retreated,
swiftly leaving the living room.
What just happened to her?
Why did she find Mr. Su Zhiwei frightening?
Clearly, Mr. Su Zhiwei was the gentlest person...
“Mmm...” Just as the nanny reached an empty area, someone
suddenly covered her mouth from behind, and she was dragged into darkness,
ultimately merging with it.
And no one noticed this scene.

After throwing the fruit plate, Ruan Qing went straight back
to his own room.
Given that Su Zhiwei’s clothes were soiled, he would
definitely take a shower and change into clean clothes at the Su family villa.
That would be the opportunity to obtain the key from him.
Ruan Qing had been acting together with that group of players
from last night until today. He returned too late and didn’t have time to take
a shower. He now felt somewhat uncomfortable.
After entering the room, Ruan Qing found a set of clean
clothes to change into and left a silk thread on his room’s door. Then he
randomly chose one of the guest rooms.
His own room was too conspicuous and unsafe. Unless
necessary, Ruan Qing didn’t want to stay in his own room.
The Su family villa was large, and there were many guest
rooms. Unless someone was tracking him, it would be difficult to determine
which guest room he was in.
So Ruan Qing simply picked a guest room while holding his
clothes and locked the door.
Although Xiao Shiyi said only the mirrors at the school were
problematic, Ruan Qing was still cautious. He pushed down the mirror on the
table and casually threw a piece of clothing over it.
Ruan Qing washed up quickly, without any accidents happening
in the meantime. He changed his clothes and came out in less than half an hour.
As he dried his hair, he walked back to his own room, and the
silk thread on the door... broke once again.
Ruan Qing held the doorknob tightly and frowned, hesitating
whether to go in or not.
After all, the lesson from the last time was still fresh in
his mind. No matter how vigilant he was, he couldn’t match the agility of
others.
Ruan Qing gave up. Just as he was about to turn around and go
downstairs, the door unexpectedly swung open.
Inside was... Su Zhiwei.
Ruan Qing stared blankly at Su Zhiwei in front of him.
Su Zhiwei always dressed conservatively, even buttoning up
his shirts to the top. But now, he was bare-chested, with only a towel wrapped
around his lower body. Water droplets glistened on his well-defined abdominal
muscles, slowly gliding down and eventually disappearing into the towel.
He was not wearing glasses, and his wet hair was scattered
around. It was evident that he had just taken a shower.
Ruan Qing could understand why Su Zhiwei wanted to take a
shower, but why did he come to his room to do so?
Ruan Qing frowned and was about to leave.
However, just as he turned around, Su Zhiwei grabbed his
wrist and pulled him into the room.
Oh shit
ReplyDeleteHmm... maybe the original doesn't supposed to know his uncle was adopted? Or it's author forgetting it seems more likely tbh.
