Arc 6 – Slag that Little Wolfhound
Chapter 145

It had been a long time since the system spoke and Chi Zhao didn’t make any response. It seems that he had no intention to respond.

The system felt even more upset, but it didn’t know what else it could say. After all, what it had said just now was the truth and the main system had told it a long time ago that compared to the harsh truth, humans preferred to hide it with beautiful illusions.

When speaking the truth recklessly, it can incur hatred from the humans.

The system thought for a while but still didn’t understand. Was it being hated by Chi Zhao now?

……….

The system could hear Chi Zhao’s inner thoughts, but Chi Zhao couldn’t hear the system’s inner thoughts. Chi Zhao entered the bathroom, roughly washed himself and then opened the closet in the guest room. Inside were many brand-new pyjamas of different sizes prepared in advance for a situation like this. After finding his size, Chi Zhao changed and laid down in bed.

With the lights turned off, the room plunged into darkness.

Chi Zhao laid on the side with one hand resting under his head.

He didn’t close his eyes. His gaze lingered mid-air and out of focus, as if he were in daze.

With no one moving around anymore, the surroundings instantly became quiet. The sound insulation here was very good. Except for the shallow breathing coming from Chi Zhao himself, he couldn’t hear anything else.

Chi Zhao was still staring out into the darkness. After a long period of silence, he suddenly called out, “System.”

The system heard this call and immediately extended a fat data cable and placed it on Chi Zhao’s mind, waiting for Chi Zhao’s next words.

Blinking in the darkness, Chi Zhao lowered his eyes and similarly stored away the emotions in his eyes, “If……um, if there is a day where you’re no longer my system and I haven’t disappeared, I think I will miss you a lot.”

After saying this, Chi Zhao turned over such that he was lying on his back. The sudden sound of the sheets rustling interrupted the systems thoughts. The system was stunned for a while and just as it was about to say something, it saw that Chi Zhao had already closed his eyes.

The night became quiet again. About two minutes later, a small voice sounded in Chi Zhao’s mind. The voice stuttered awkwardly and seemed to not be very well versed with this kind of emotional exchange.

【M-m-me…….me too.】

This time, Chi Zhao didn’t give a response and before long, he fell asleep. When he fell asleep, the smile on his face hadn’t subsided.

…….

Because of what the system said yesterday, Chi Zhao no longer had plans to leave. Since he had to stay, he must continue playing the role of a father and he should treat everyone here seriously so that he could integrate himself thoroughly into this world.

Wen Yu no longer needed to go to the company and, in order to take care of him, Chi Zhao naturally didn’t go to the conference. When Chi Zhao got up in the morning, Wen Yu was still asleep. The first thing Chi Zhao did after getting up was to check Wen Yu’s temperature. The infrared thermometer could measure the temperature just by placing it next to the ear and Chi Zhao’s actions were very light, so Wen Yu didn’t wake up the entire time.

It was only later when Chi Zhao saw that his medicine in the morning was about to be combined with his medicine at lunch that he decided to wake Wen Yu up.

Wen Yu had been dazed ever since he woke up. His lips were dry and pale, and his face had no colour to it; he looked very sickly. These were all however just an act he had put on in front of Chi Zhao. As soon as Chi Zhao left his room or turned his back to him, his expression would gradually return to a silent and complicated look.

He remembered everything that happened last night. Although his mind was groggy due to the cold and the medicine, every action and every word of his were his true thoughts.

And it was also because of this that Wen Yu felt a little scared inside.

Since when did Wen Xijun have such a big impact on him.

Wen Xijun’s expression would change once and his heart would similarly rise and plummet once. When he heard that Wen Xijun was leaving, he was upset and depressed and even wanted to reach out to stop him and when he heard that Wen Xijun was staying, his heart fell back in place in an instant and joy immediately flowed out uncontrollably from his heart, filling every corner of his body.

Even thought he was sober now, Wen Yu still wanted Wen Xijun to stay. He wanted to see this man busy around for his sake, he wanted him to continue to take care of him.

This was abnormal. Too abnormal.

Wen Xijun was a villain through and through, the initiator of the tragedy of the first half of his life. A warped family, a warped education and a warped relationship. What Wen Xijun had brought to him was pain and more pain. Before, he had no ability to fight back and could only accept it but now that he had the ability to resist, why was it that his heart wasn’t listening to him anymore?

Wen Yu’s expression was gloomy and complicated. He had come here firstly, to settle his emotions and secondly, to escape from Wen Xijun. He wanted to rely on his on abilities to escape from Wen Xijun’s control and grow into one who could talk to Wen Xijun on an equal footing.

He wanted Wen Xijun to have him in his eyes, but he also wanted to suppress him and defeat him.

Wen Yu was a very patient person, and he was also very calm. Two months after leaving the Wen residence, he had slowly approached his goal step by step. His goal was too ambitious, and it meant that he had to work hard in order to accomplish this goal as soon as possible.

He had been very busy every single day for the past two months. He would leave in the morning and would only return at midnight or in the early hours of the next day. Once back, he would sleep and repeat that same cycle again. By doing this, Wen Yu was able to show rapid progression but similarly, the downfalls of doing this also quickly reared its head.

For example, right now, illness had struck him. If it weren’t for Wen Xijun suddenly coming over, he would have probably suffered from the fever all night and by that time it wouldn’t be as simple as just a cold.

Because he was usually too busy, Wen Yu didn’t have the time to think about things. During the rare moments when he had some time, he would think of his brothers and sisters in another city, as well as Wen Xijun.

Wen Yu had felt that he had done very well controlling himself. If it continued like this, he would soon be able to store away those feelings he shouldn’t possess. But when he saw Wen Xijun again yesterday, he finally realised how much he had missed this person.

He really was sick.

And it wasn’t a mild case.

The warped education and family had eventually resulted in a warped person. If it was before, he could still comfort himself and convince himself that he didn’t actually like him and that it was just a temporary case of infatuation. Wen Xijun was his adoptive father and he had never been in love with anyone so when coupled with some other factors, he had developed some unspeakable feelings towards his adoptive father. But now, Wen Yu could no longer deceive himself.

He wasn’t infatuated with Wen Xijun nor did he hate him. He loved him and it was purely just that.

Wen Yu lowered his eyes. When he reached that final conclusion, his eyelashes trembled slightly. He then raised his eyes and looked at Wen Xijun who was sitting beside him.

The latter was checking the prescription left by the doctor which outlined which medicine to take. After confirming the correct medicine, he placed it beside Wen Yu and brought over a glass half filled with water.

“Here, take it.”

His voice was calm, and his expression was indifferent. Wen Yu held back the heavy emotions inside him and obediently received the water and medicine.

Wen Yu’s illness was actually that serious and it wasn’t to the point where he couldn’t get out of bed. One may say that Chi Zhao was taking care of him, but he was in fact just making sure he was taking his medicine and eating his meals properly.

After sitting there for a while, Chi Zhao stood up to return to his room. He had only told He Jia that he would return a few days later and hadn’t said anything to Wen Lie. Wen Lie was the eldest of all the children so usually when he is away Wen Lie presides over the family matters. He should also tell Wen Lie not to overwork himself too much the next two days and to go home and look after his siblings at home.

The Wen Yu today wasn’t as clingy as last night. Seeing that he was leaving, he just obediently bowed his head, no longer trying to stop him. When Chi Zhao left the room and passed the living room, he suddenly heard the doorbell ring.

Chi Zhao went to the door and stared at the person outside through the intercom system for a while. It was someone he didn’t recognise but the other party was dressed well and didn’t appear to be a salesperson, so Chi Zhao opened the door for him.

When the other party saw the door open, he immediately smiled brightly but he was stunned for a moment when he saw that the person who opened the door was not Wen Yu, “Who are you?”

Chi Zhao frowned, “The person visiting should report their identity first. What do you mean by asking me that instead?”

Big boss Wen’s face can be rather intimidating and with Chi Zhao imitating this big boss for a while now, he was able to maintain a stern look that was nine parts similar to the originals.

The other party immediately became serious when he saw this. He scratched his head and asked more obediently this time, “Uh, hello, my name is Ji Zongcheng. I am Wen Yu’s friend. You are?”

So, this is Ji Zongcheng.

Chi Zhao assessed him again and saw that he was a young man in his twenties. His temperament wasn’t any better than his family’s Wen Zhuang.

But since he was Wen Yu’s good friend, he would be quite useful for Chi Zhao’s next plan. As such, Chi Zhao moved aside to let him in and at the same time replied, “I am Wen Yu’s father. Wen Yu is sick and is resting in his room. You can go to his room to find him.”

Ji Zongcheng already had one foot into the room. Hearing Chi Zhao’s words, he suddenly stopped in place and looked at Chi Zhao strangely, “You just said that you’re Wen Yu’s father?”

Although it was correct, why did that statement sound so strange?

Chi Zhao: “…….Yes.”

“Ha!” Young master Ji laughed exaggeratedly, “Do you think I look like a fool? You’re probably not much older than me and you want to be his father? Do you even know who his father……Tsk. Alright, let me introduce myself again then. Here, let’s shake hands. I’m Wen Yu’s grandfather! It seems that today we have all three generations in one place hahahaha!”

Chi Zhao: “………….”

Wen Yu who had hurried over after hearing the noise, “………..”

With you like this, you even have the nerve to ask others if you look like a fool??
