Chapter 115 – Unachievable Dream

Night, Chen Yu entered a dream.

In his dream, Chen Yu returned to ancient times and played a person named Husky.

Born into the royal family as a divine ent.i.ty, he could speak and learn things quickly at a young age. When he grew up, he remained sincere, hardworking, mature, and intelligent.

When Husky came into being, the Liu Dynasty was already in decline. The emperor focused only on his own entertainment and the princes trampling on the common people. There was also the evil and violent Cao Cao, who n.o.body could defeat. Hence, Husky first learned military knowledge and practiced martial arts to curb these royals. Only then did these royals started behaving.

With the emperor and princes under his command, Husky cultivated the kingdom’s morality, rejuvenated the army, governed the crops, helped the people, and safeguarded the kingdom’s borders. Eventually, Husky even successfully hunted and killed the evil Cao Cao. With Husky’s achievements, none of the princes dared compete against him for the throne. Hence, Husky became the next emperor and led the Liu Dynasty.

A celebration ensued, and the princes wors.h.i.+pped Husky. Liu Xuande presented husky with a child named Little Peach.

Husky grew joyful, touched the baby, and died…[1]

…

Abruptly waking up from his nightmare, Chen Yu turned his head and looked at Little Peach, who was seated before the study table and quietly typing away at her laptop.

“Mr. Chen, you woke up?”

“Mhm…” Chen Yu grunted as he wiped off the sweat on his forehead.

“It seems you had a nightmare? Your whole body is sweating,” Little Peach asked as she stood up from her seat and brought a towel over to Chen Yu.

“Mhm. I had a nightmare.”

“Was I in there?” Little Peach asked shyly.

“Yes.”

“Did I protect you in the nightmare?”

“You were the cause of my death.”

Little Peach: “…”

“I feel like this is a sign telling me that you’ll kill me sooner or later.”

Little Peach: “…”

Sitting up, Chen Yu stared at the husky lying on the floor. After careful consideration, he said, “This dream is strange. Both you and the husky were in it. You two might be plotting together to harm me.”

Little Peach: “…”

“That cheongsam yesterday caused my little sister to misunderstand me. Who knows what you two are going to do today?” In the next moment, Chen Yu picked up the husky from his bed and threw it onto the ground. “Screw off. Who let you onto my bed? You even dared to lie on my body?”

After doing a roll on the ground, the husky got up and looked at Chen Yu with squinted eyes.

“What? I’ll have you castrated if you keep on staring.”

Getting out of bed, Chen Yu changed into a new set of clothes and fell into thought. A moment later, he said, “Today’s Wednesday. Both elementary and middle schools will have the afternoon session off, so you two shouldn’t stay in the room during the day. Go stay in the warehouse and return at 7 PM. I should be back from school by then.”

“Okay.”

Little Peach naturally did not have any opinions about this arrangement. Just thinking about her master’s three little sisters calling for the dog outside the door annoyed her already. It would be much better if she could write codes in the quiet warehouse.

“That’s settled, then. The warehouse is quite close, so the energy consumption is meager as well.”

After saying so, Chen Yu selected the warehouse’s saved coordinates and established the spatial link. He then opened the door and pointed at the warehouse, saying, “Go on. Remember to come back together with the dog at 7 PM.”

Holding onto her laptop with her left hand and carrying the husky in her right hand, Little Peach quickly walked into the warehouse. She then turned around and hesitated slightly before speaking, “Mr. Chen, according to the internet, it is told that dreams are normally the opposite of reality. How could I possibly hurt you?”

“Have you forgotten how you broke my arm?”

“…”

“Have you forgotten how many slaps you’ve given me?”

“…”

“These are only the physiological injuries. You’ve also given me plenty of psychological injuries.”

“…I’m only a romance robot,” Little Peach mumbled with her head lowered. “A-Also, aren’t there supposed to be both bitter and sweet times in romance?”

“…Goodbye.”

Bang.

Shutting the door, Chen Yu could not help but sigh.

After having this conversation, he felt that he should find some time to provide Little Peach with some guidance. He could not continue letting her grow up “unscrupulously.”

Walking out of his bedroom, Chen Yu washed himself up and had breakfast.

After sending off his three little sisters to their respective schools, he arrived at Sixth High, entered Cla.s.s 2-2’s cla.s.sroom, and sat down on his seat.

“Brother Chen, morning.”

“Yo! Bald Li, long time no see,” Chen Yu exclaimed in surprise. “Where have you been all this time?”

With a sad expression, Li Liang said, “I’ve always been in the cla.s.s! Did you forget about me after giving my seat to Xing Biqi? How heartless of you! Have you forgotten about our friends.h.i.+p?”

“Oh.” Feeling embarra.s.sed, Chen Yu asked, “W-Where are you sitting at now?”

“The balcony.”

“…The teacher didn’t get you a new seat?”

“No.”

“…OK.” Nodding, Chen Yu said, “The balcony has a nice view.”

“Yeah, the wind is pleasant,” Li Liang said with a deadpan face. “Also, the students nearby all say that I’m seated too high and that they can see my greasy bald head as soon as they look up. Is my head really that oily?”

“Don’t know. I can’t see it clearly because of the reflection.”

Li Liang: “…’

“Alright, I still need to study. Why did you come looking for me?”

“Brother Chen, you can see that you’ve caused me so much arm. If I ask to borrow some money from you, you won’t possibly heartlessly refuse me, right?”

Upon hearing these words, Chen Yu frowned and said, “What are you thinking? If you want to borrow money, just say so. What’s up with all the foreshadowing? Do I look like a person that ignores friends.h.i.+p?”

“Hehe.” Li Liang immediately smiled at Chen Yu’s words. “I knew you were a good brother! In that case, I won’t beat around the bush with you. Lend me 500 yuan, and I’ll pay you back next week.”

“Five hundred?”

Leaning back against his chair, Chen Yu revealed an affronted expression as he said, “Just 500? From now on, if you’re trying to borrow anything less than 10,000, don’t look for me. Are you looking down on me? You have the gall to ask me for just 500 yuan?”

“Then, I’ll borrow 10,000.”

“I don’t have it.”

“…”

“It’s no use even if you look at me like that.” Shrugging, Chen Yu said, “You should know my household conditions. Where will I find 10,000 yuan to loan you?”

“I’ll borrow 1,000, then.”

“I’ll look down on you if it’s lower than 10,000.”

“I’ll borrow 10,000.”

“Don’t have it.”

…

At the same time, in the underground area of Jinzhou City’s suburbs…

Two guys, one black and one white, were still earnestly digging a hole through the ground.

“Leader, judging by our current angle, we should be reaching our target soon, right?” the black man asked as he put down his pickaxe and pulled out a small measuring instrument from his pocket. “It seems we’re just two or three meters away.”

“Stop talking, more digging! Or are you out of strength? Finding excuses to laze off?”

“Leader, we’re just two or three meters away. Should we use a big guy?”

“No. It’ll cause too big of a commotion. We’ll continue digging gradually,” the white man said as he wiped off the mud and sweat stuck on his face. After straightening his protective goggles, he continued, “The closer we are, the more important it is for us to maintain a stable mentality. Dig quickly.”

“OK.”

After giving his stiff arms a ma.s.sage, the black man picked up his special pickaxe and continued digging.

Clang.

Clang.

Clang…

As more time pa.s.sed by, the angle at which the duo dug also grew increasingly steeper.

Three hours later, the duo finally uncovered a layer of red bricks.

“We’re there! Leader! We reached the foundation!”

“Mhm. Be more careful and slowly dig through the foundation. Otherwise, the sound will spread to the surrounding warehouses.”

“Understood.”

With their goal right before their eyes, the black man’s irritation promptly transformed into joy and excitement.

“If they don’t triple my bonus for this mission, I’m resigning.”

“Triple?” The white team leader chuckled at the black man’s words. Stretching out his fingers, he gestured the number ‘8’ and said, “Do you know the higher-ups are giving us at least this much?”

“Eight hundred grand?”

“Eight hundred grand! We also don’t have to pay taxes for it! The internal department will handle it!”

“d.a.m.n!” Making a fist b.u.mp, the black man said, “Let’s stop talking, leader! Dig quickly!”

After saying so, the black man tossed away his pickaxe and took out a glove-like tool from his pocket. He then balled up his fists and used the gloves’ sharp edges to chip away at the brick foundation. Even when slag fell into his mouth, he paid it no mind whatsoever. He was all hung ho.

Clang.

Clang.

Clang…

Another hour pa.s.sed.

After the duo dug through the brick foundation and came upon a cement layer, they looked at each other with excited eyes.

“We finally dug through!”

“YES!”

Clap!

The two special agents exchanged a loud clap with each other. They then took out their respective hammers and started hammering at the cement layer above them in turns.

Thud!

The black man: “Eight hundred!”

Thud!

The white man: “Eight hundred!”

Thud!

The black man: “Eight hundred!”

Boom…

The cement layer shattered.
