Chapter 32 – Strong Children Feared Nobody

While suppressing his anticipation of the arrival of the [Romantic Partner Simulation Robot] in the future, Chen Yu rapidly tapped his thumbs on his phone.

[Chen Yu: “What are the advertisement targets for the two future missions?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “During probation, every subsequent mission given has its requirement increased by tenfold.”]

[Chen Yu: “In other words, I’ll need to garner 50,000 viewers and 5,000 subscribers for the third advertisement? In that case, I’ve completed those targets as well.”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “The fourth advertisement will require you to garner a total of 500,000 viewers and 50,000 subscribers. Your chances of succeeding are extremely great!”]

[Chen Yu: “I understand. Make sure to give it your all when applying for subsequent products!”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Mr. Chen, please rest assured. Our team always gives it our all when applying for products. However, as you are currently in your probation period, we can only apply for small products for you.”]

After seeing this message, Chen Yu turned off WeChat and took a look at the time displayed on the upper corner of his phone. He then changed his clothes, preparing to fetch Chen Erke back from her tuition class.

Click.

However, as soon as Chen Yu opened his room’s door, he came across Chen Yike and Chen Sanke running away in a panic. It was obvious that they had been eavesdropping on him.

“Get back here! Stand still!” Chen Yu bellowed, his loud voice stunning his two sisters. He then walked up to the two and demanded, “What did you hear?”

“Right, I still have 50 words I need to memorize! Gotta go, gotta go!” Chen Yike said, putting on an act of realization as she attempted to dash back to her own room.

“Right!” Mimicking her elder sister, Chen Sanke patted her head and said, “It’s time for milk! Gotta go, gotta go!”

“Where do you two think you’re going?!” Having no intention of letting them off the hook, Chen Yu grabbed both Yike and Sanke and held them in place. “Speak! What did you hear!?”

Chen Yike: “I didn’t hear anything.”

Chen Sanke: “Me too.”

Chen Yike: “I only happened to pass by.”

Chen Sanke: “Me too.”

Chen Yike: “Why do you even care? Are you doing something sneaky inside? Even so, I have no interest in finding out!”

Chen Sanke: “Me too.”

Hearing his two sisters’ responses, Chen Yu could not help but sigh. He then released them and said, “Don’t come near my room in the future! Otherwise, I won’t be giving you allowances anymore!”

“Big Brother, have you ever given me an allowance before?” Chen Sanke asked, tilting her head in confusion.

In response, Chen Yu took out two notes from his pocket: a ten-yuan bill and a one-yuan bill. “Here, happy? If you do these sneaky actions again in the future, there really won’t be any more allowances!”

Seeing the two notes, Chen Yike’s eyes glowed as she said excitedly, “Thank you, Big Brother!”

Mimicking Chen Yike, Chen Sanke said, “Thank you, Big Brother!”

As soon as they finished speaking, both little sisters reached out to grab the money.

In the case of Chen Sanke, she went for the ten-yuan note without hesitation.

On the other hand, Chen Yike stretched out both hands and grabbed both bills.

Chen Yike: “…”

Chen Sanke: “…”

Both little sisters turned to look at each other, sparks and hostility gradually appearing in their eyes.

Taking the initiative, Chen Yike said, “I am the elder sister! I should be responsible for distributing this money!”

“No way!” Chen Sanke said, shaking her head. “You’ll pocket it all!”

“Where did you learn the term ‘pocket’?! Just what are you learning in school?! I can’t indulge you any longer! I must be the one to control this money!”

“No! I’m still young, and my body is still growing! I need to buy delicious food to eat!”

“You’re overfed! Just look at your chubby, little belly! I will save this money for you. I’ll let you spend it once you lose some weight.”

“Liar! I… I don’t have enough nutrients! What if I end up with a flat chest like you in the future?!”

“Haaah?! What nonsense are you spouting?! Are you looking to die?! Where did you learn these things?!”

While his two younger sisters were arguing with each other, Chen Yu stuck his hands into his pockets and started whistling as he made his way out of the house.

…

When Chen Yu arrived at the mental abacus tuition center, class just happened to have ended. After waiting at the entrance for a short moment, he quickly noticed Chen Erke running out of the tuition center and caught her when she pounced on him. She then started rubbing her face against his chest.

“Alright, stop rubbing.” When his chest started to itch from all the rubbing, Chen Yu placed Chen Erke on the ground.

“I thought you would forget about me again today.”

“How is that possible? You’re my precious little sister.”

“You forgot about me last time.”

“I didn’t forget that time,” Chen Yu said as he patted Chen Erke’s head. “It was your elder sister’s fault. She locked my room and prevented me from picking you up.”

“Huh?” Chen Erke was stunned when she heard Chen Yu’s words. “Why did she do that?”

“Maybe she’s evil,” Chen Yu said, shrugging. He then took Chen Erke’s small school bag and held her hand as he continued, “I was heartbroken at that time. When I thought about how helpless you would be in the cold outdoors, my eyes became blurry. For a moment, I had even thought of jumping out of the window to go pick you up.”

“We live on the nineteenth floor.”

“Right, that’s why I stopped myself from jumping. Your elder sister really isn’t anything good.”

“Big Sis is bad!” Chen Erke said as she balled up her free hand into a little fist.

“Big Brother is better, right?”

“Big Brother is the best!”

“Good girl!” Chen Yu grew joyful upon hearing Chen Erke’s reply. Picking up his little sister, he pointed at the supermarket across the street and said, “How about Big Brother bring you to look at goldfish?”

“No, I don’t like goldfish.”

“Let’s go to the amusement park, then.”

“Is it expensive?” Chen Erke asked hesitantly.

“Nothing is too expensive for my little sister! Go ahead and play! Big Brother has money!”

“Yay!!” Chen Erke cheered.

After entering the children’s amusement park on the supermarket’s third floor, Chen Erke started playing around happily. However, midway through her enjoyment, Chen Yu suddenly called her over.

“Second Eldest, don’t play with the boys inside. None of them look to be good children,” Chen Yu said sternly. He then pointed at a boy and said, “Look at that little fatty. He was even thinking of touching your hand just now! The next time he tries to pull something like that, just slap him! Punch him! Spit on him! No boy is good! Unless he is willing to dress as a girl!”

Chen Erke: “…”

…

At 1 P.M., Chen Yu arrived back home, holding Chen Erke’s hand. As soon as he opened the door, he immediately heard sounds of quarreling coming from the living room.

“Third Eldest! Give me the other half of the note! You can’t spend half a note!”

“Liar!” Chen Sanke shouted as she tightened her grip on the torn piece of a ten-yuan bill. Sneering, she continued, “If you split a ten-yuan note, doesn’t that mean you get two five-yuan notes? Why can’t I spend it?”

“Hurry up and give it to me so that I can stick them back together! We won’t be able to use it anymore if you scrunch it any further!”

Growing impatient, Chen Yike stretched out her hand to snatch Chen Sanke’s half of the ten-yuan bill. However, before she could achieve her goal, Chen Sanke smacked her face, sending her tumbling.

Strong children feared nobody!

“You’re just trying to pocket it all for yourself! If you really want the money, let’s just tear it into ten pieces. I’ll give you six pieces while I take four.”

“Torn money can’t be used!” Chen Yike said on the verge of tears.

“Liar!” Chen Sanke said, puffing up her cheeks.

Meanwhile, Chen Yu walked through the front door and was stunned by the sight of his two sisters. After snapping out of his daze, he pulled out his phone and checked the time. Falling into a daze once more, he asked, “Ten yuan? You… You two have been fighting over this for the past three hours?”

“Brother! Third Eldest tore the money in half!” Chen Yike said, stomping her feet in anger and frustration.

“What do you think?” Chen Sanke asked as she pinched her waist and puffed up her chest in pride.

Chen Yu: “…You two really have promising futures.”
