The Perfect Destiny

Illusory Reality [4]

In order to study properly, Chen Liguo sold his pure body and made a tragic 'don't rub, don't fail' agreement with the system.

The system was cold throughout the entire process but Chen Liguo cried with deep sorrow, head knocking against the floor. He expressed that he definitely had to study well, so he wouldn't need the system and could ultimately rub until the end of day.

The system thought that this was really the only thing that gave Chen Liguo the most motivation to fight……

The basketball team arranged to meet the day after the final exams. As one of the first string players, Chen Liguo naturally arrived on time.

When he arrived at the basketball court he found that there were many girls in the audience stands nearby.

Chen Liguo wondered, "Came to cheer?"

"What cheer? They came to see Zhou Yi." Another teammate said. "Look at them, their eyes are practically glued to Zhou Yi's body and haven't moved away……"

Chen Liguo looked at the other side and thought it was really true.

However, Zhou Yi wasn't aware of this. After changing his clothes he began to warm up on the sideline.

Chen Liguo's gaze swept over the audience and found a familiar figure. He approached Zhou Yi and mumbled, "And you say that you're not dating Sun Wei."

Zhou Yi raised his head and saw his family's child puffing out his cheeks. He said, "What dating?"

Chen Liguo said, "Look, others have even come to cheer you on."

Zhou Yi followed Chen Liguo's gaze and looked over. He laughed, then said, "Is everyone who comes to cheer me on my girlfriend? Then you have to ask them if they're willing ah."

Chen Liguo heard this and felt a little relieved. He confirmed that Zhou Yi really wasn't dating Sun Wei. Only, he didn't know if this would continue to be the case later……

Zhou Yi pressed Chen Liguo to do warm-ups too.

After the game finished everyone was sweating. However, they were all young people with good bodies and weren't afraid of the cold.

Chen Liguo held a water bottle with his mouth and watched as Sun Wei ran down from the audience gallery while holding a water bottle.

"Zhou Yi." Sun Wei had good grades, looked good, and had a pretty good character. She was very popular in their grade. Her gaze was completely filled with Zhou Yi. She said, "Can you come over for a moment? I have something to say to you."

But Zhou Yi didn't move. He said, "You can say it here."

Sun Wei said, "It's a private matter. Can you just come over for a bit?"

Seeing this the people around them began to kick up a fuss. Zhou Yi's brows furrowed slightly. In the end he still stood up and followed Sun Wei away.

"I just said that the two of them are a couple." Some meddlesome person gossiped next to Chen Liguo. He said, "A talented man and beautiful woman, they really suit each other."

Chen Liguo didn't respond to him and said, "I'm going to the washroom."

The person said, "Go on, go on."

Chen Liguo went to the washroom and drenched his head with cold water. He looked at the 'him' in the mirror and for some reason, found 'him' unfamiliar.

The youth in the mirror wasn't that malnourished bean sprout anymore. Whether it was his hair style or clothes, it could be seen that his family situation was good. This world's Chen Liguo was already 8 centimeters taller than him when he was in his second year of high school.

Chen Liguo wiped off the water on his face and returned to the court.

However, what happened next was beyond Chen Liguo's expectations.

He originally thought that Sun Wei's confession would succeed. But he didn't expect to see Zhou Yi come back with a heavy expression and Sun Wei leaving as she wiped away her tears.

Chen Liguo was stunned and asked, "How come you didn't agree?"

Zhou Yi said, "I don't like her."

It was Chen Liguo's first time seeing Zhou Yi with such an aloof expression. Zhou Yi was gentle towards others and he wouldn't show too much negative emotions even when he was in a bad mood. This was especially true in university.

Only, the high school Zhou Yi was still a little immature and upon encountering something unpleasant a few indicators still showed on his face.

Chen Liguo sounded, "Ah?"

Zhou Yi said, "Ah, what ah?" He pinched Chen Liguo's nose and said, "In a daze all day long. From what I see you'll be sold by someone one day but wouldn't even realize it."

Chen Liguo said, "Where would there be someone to buy someone like me ah?"

Zhou Yi heard this and looked at Chen Liguo profoundly.

Chen Liguo was baffled by Zhou Yi's stare.

It seemed that the matter between Sun Wei and Zhou Yi had completely fallen flat. Ever since that day Chen Liguo never saw Sun Wei appear before Zhou Yi on her own initiative again.

Halfway through winter break Chen Liguo's school's basketball team played a game against another school.

Zhou Yi was absolutely eye-catching in this game. Their team got a total of 52 points in this game and he had actually scored 24 of them on his own. Practically all the girls' eyes were on him.

When he sat on the sidelines drinking water at half time, all the girls behind him let out sounds of excitement.

Girls weren't all that open yet at this time. Otherwise, someone would surely run up and ask Zhou Yi for his phone number.

Chen Liguo stared at Zhou Yi with stars in his eyes. He thought that this was probably how he had fallen in love with Zhou Yi. Even if he lived in a dark corner his heart still yearned for the blazing sun.

Zhou Yi saw Chen Liguo's two shining eyes and was humored. He said, "Wife, come and give me a kiss."

Chen Liguo said, "Annoying la, there are so many people it's embarrassing."

Zhou Yi said, "With skin as thick as yours you can still feel embarrassed?" Saying so, he actually pulled Chen Liguo over and planted a kiss on his head.

Chen Liguo said, "Don't think it's dirty even with sweat all over?"

Zhou Yi smiled lightly and didn't speak.

Chen Liguo wanted to poke Zhou Yi's dimple again.

Zhou Yi saw through what Chen Liguo wanted to do and opened with, "Poke once, kiss once."

Chen Liguo stayed his hand but in his heart, he thought, 'Big brother are you trying to get your face poked rotten by me by saying this?'

After the game, it was the New Year.

This was Chen Liguo's first year in this world

Mother made a lot of dumplings and prepared a big table full of dishes. Dad went and bought firecrackers which set off a series of explosions at the threshold.

Mother asked, "You don't want to set off fireworks today?"

Chen Liguo said, "No, your son has grown up."

Their family's relationship wasn't too good with their elders. It was said that the people from his mother's side disagreed with her being with his father. As for the specific situation, Chen Liguo wasn't too clear on it.

He took a bite of the fish and asked, "Mother, do you miss grandma?"

Mother said, "Miss her for what? She's living better than you." When she spoke of her mother her expression wasn't very happy. It could be seen that her relationship with her mother wasn't very good.

Chen Liguo's father didn't speak.

Chen Liguo took a breath and finally mentally prepared himself to ask the question he had been wanting to ask for a long time now. He asked, "Mom, in what situation would you not want me anymore?"

Mother laughed and said, "If you're disobedient we won't want you anymore."

Chen Liguo mumbled that he was serious.

Mother said, "Don't want our own child? Only when both your father and I die."

Chen Liguo's chest stuttered. He vaguely said, "I love you the most."

After saying this he rushed off to the washroom.

Mother looked at father with uncertainty in her eyes. She said, "Did I see wrong? Why is this child crying?"

Dad said, "He probably watched another TV drama. Don't bother him."

Chen Liguo quietly cried in the washroom. He squatted on the floor and buried his head in his knees. He said, "System ah. I have always been wondering, why didn't they want me."

The system said, "Be good, don't cry."

Chen Liguo said, "I didn't have any disability, why didn't they want me?"

The system heaved a low sigh.

Chen Liguo said, "I know now. Maybe it's not that they didn't want me, but that they had no way to want me."

The system listened quietly.

Chen Liguo reached out and wiped away his tears. He said, "I'm really happy ah, Tongtong."

The system said, "Being happy is good."

Chen Liguo said, "But it also doesn't feel real——Do you know that feeling?" It was just like the little match girl in the cold winter. Before her eyes was an illusory beautiful scene. As soon as the match in her hand extinguished she would immediately return to the biting cold reality.

The system said, "This is real." Its tone was so certain that Chen Liguo's flustered heart calmed down.

Chen Liguo said, "It's really great that there's you here to accompany me"

The system said, "That's not what you said when you rubbed."

Chen Liguo's tears had already stopped. He said, "I was still young at that time……"

System: "Then what about now?"

Chen Liguo said, "Can't stop already……"

System: "……" Just go die……

Chen Liguo came out of the washroom and in a single breath ate more than thirty dumplings.

He scared his mother who told him "You're just about done ah, eating so much aren't you afraid of sending yourself to the hospital?"

Chen Liguo said, "Isn't it all because you make it too delicious?"

Mother was both angry and humored. She said, "You boast more and more now."

As a result of Chen Liguo really did eat until his stomach bulged out. He rubbed his round belly and lay paralyzed on the couch as he waited for the new year. His phone was full of text messages of well wishes. When the New Year bell rang Chen Liguo was the first to get Zhou Yi's call.

It was very rowdy on Zhou Yi's side but his voice was as gentle as Chen Liguo remembered. He said, "Wife, happy new year."

Chen Liguo said, "En, you too."

Zhou Yi said, "When I come back I'll bring you a New Year's gift."

Chen Liguo asked, "You're abroad?"

Zhou Yi affirmed, "En."

There was a moment of silence.

Zhou Yi suddenly asked, "What university do you plan on going to?"

Chen Liguo said, "A University."

A University was one of the very best in the country. According to Chen Liguo's grades it would be impossible to get in but Zhou Yi didn't say this. He said, "If you want to go you can definitely go. How about we go there together?"

Chen Liguo agreed, "Okay."

The sound of firecrackers bursting rang from outside the window but Chen Liguo still felt as though he could hear Zhou Yi's slight breathing from the other end of the phone.

Zhou Yi said, "I'm hanging up."

Chen Liguo said, "Good night." After saying this he realized that it should be morning on Zhou Yi's end.

Zhou Yi laughed softly and said, "Goodnight Guoguo."

Chen Liguo heard beeps from the phone.

In his original world, University was a very good time for Chen Liguo. He not only went to the same university as Zhou Yi but as if demons and gods were at work, he ended up living together with Zhou Yi——Though it was only a normal roommate relationship.

University Chen Liguo met many friends and got to know a good sister. Though she had no blood relationship with Chen Liguo, she brought about a great deal of things to Chen Liguo…… and Chen Liguo got a taste of familial affection.

Chen Liguo had been happy this year.

His father and mother gave him red envelopes. Chen Liguo clutched the red envelopes smiling like a flower. He took the money and thought about what new year gift he should get for Zhou Yi. However, after turning it over in his mind he felt that Zhou Yi wasn't really lacking anything.

Chen Liguo asked, "System, what do you think I should send him?"

The system said, "Money."

Chen Liguo: "…… But he has money."

The system said, "No one dislikes money."

Chen Liguo fell into a confused silence. He found that the system was becoming more and more philosophical.

However, though the system said these things Chen Liguo couldn't give a present like this. He asked, "Say, if I lay in bed naked and say to him, 'Come on, I'm your New Year's gift' what do you think Zhou Yi would do to me?"

The system said with distress, "There's a knife in the kitchen, why must you choose such a painful way to die?"

Chen Liguo felt that the system made a lot of sense. Being beaten to death must really hurt……

Thus after pondering over it, Chen Liguo ultimately chose a basketball.

This basketball was a limited edition one and was the kind of thing that boys this age loved.

When Chen Liguo brought the basketball to Zhou Yi's house his heart was still a little uneasy.

After returning to the country Zhou Yi had called Chen Liguo and said that he should come visit him. Chen Liguo couldn't shirk out of it, so he had agreed.

What Zhou Yi had said on the phone was that there was no one home, so they could play as they wished.

Chen Liguo's face turned red when he heard this. Thankfully, they were calling through the phone and he couldn't be seen.

Zhou Yi came on a motorcycle. He handed Chen Liguo a helmet and said, "Get on."

Chen Liguo said, "You can even ride a motorcycle?"

Zhou Yi said, "I can even fly a plane."

Chen Liguo: "……" When other people said this he would think that they were joking, but why was it that when Zhou Yi said it he felt that it was true.

Male Gods were simply Male Gods. Looked good riding a bike and still looked good when riding a motorcycle. Chen Liguo felt that his family's Zhou Yi was so handsome he couldn't close his legs.

Zhou Yi's family had several residences. He usually lived in the one closest to the school and would go to the other ones during holidays.

There really weren't any adults at the one they were going to this time. Zhou Yi carried Chen Liguo and dashed forward the entire way. Halfway through, Chen Liguo suddenly asked, "Aren't minors not allowed to ride motorcycles without an adult?"

Zhou Yi affirmed, "That's right."

Chen Liguo said, "Yet you still rode a motorcycle to pick me up?"

Zhou Yi retorted, "If not then I should bring you on a tricycle?"

Chen Liguo: "……" He couldn't help but laugh at the thought of Zhou Yi riding a tricycle.

Zhou Yi said, "Still have the mood to laugh."

The two talked and joked and soon arrived at Zhou Yi's home.

Chen Liguo looked around and determined that he really hadn't come to this place before.

After the relationship between Chen Liguo and Zhou Yi became better in his original world Zhou Yi had brought Chen Liguo to basically stroll around his family's homes. Chen Liguo keenly felt the gap between him and Zhou Yi——If he wanted to buy any one of those homes he would need to exhaust his entire lifetime.

When Chen Liguo got off the motorcycle he declared, "Down with capitalism!"

Zhou Yi: "…… Capitalism is going to beat you down today."

Chen Liguo was carried into the house by capitalism, dropped onto the couch, fed snacks and thus he degenerated into a captive of capitalism.

Zhou Yi asked, "The gift for me is in the bag?"

Chen Liguo held his bag and warily asked, "How did you know that it's for you?"

Zhou Yi probed, "It's a basketball?"

Chen Liguo: "……." Ai, it was really boring to guess riddles with smart people. Just as you started explaining the beginning the other person would have already guessed the answer.

Zhou Yi dragged Chen Liguo's bag over.

Chen Liguo felt that it wasn't his backpack being dragged over but his own underwear.

Zhou Yi pulled open Chen Liguo's underwear, oh wait, school bag. He saw the basketball inside and said, "En, wife, I really love you to death."

Then he said, "I brought a gift for you too. Wait, I'll go upstairs and get it for you."

After saying this he held the bag and thump thump thump, went upstairs.

Chen Liguo sat on the couch then walked to the window and looked at the indoor pool on the other side. He didn't know what Zhou Yi was going to give him……

After a little while, Zhou Yi came down, a box in his hand.

Chen Liguo looked at him with eager eyes.

Zhou Yi said, "Mm, take it."

Chen Liguo accepted it. He carefully removed the wrapping and saw the gift inside.

Zhou Yi had gifted him the latest game console. This was the thing that this world's Chen Liguo had desired the most. Chen Liguo said, "This is too expensive." If he remembered correctly, the domestic price for this was at least in the 5 digits.

Zhou Yi asked, "Didn't you always want it? Take it, I've already bought all the game disks for you."

Chen Liguo said, "I really can't take it, it's too expensive."

Zhou Yi asked, "You don't like it?"

Chen Liguo said, "I like it ah…… Even though I like it……"

Zhou Yi said, "If you like it then take it." Though his voice was still soft it was filled with conclusiveness.

From Chen Liguo's many years of knowing him, he was probably a little upset now.

Chen Liguo sighed in his heart and said, "Alright, I'll take it. If my grades drop I'll blame you."

Only then did Zhou Yi smile. He said, "That's fine, we can take supplement classes together next term."

Chen Liguo felt that Zhou Yi, this person, was too foul. Him looking so good could be written off as genetics, yet his character was this good too. Was there really anyone in the world that could not like him?

Zhou Yi said, "Do you want to go upstairs and take a look? There's a lot of video games upstairs."

Chen Liguo hesitated for a moment then said the words in his heart. He said, "Isn't there a swimminSisg pool in your home? Let's swim!"

Hearing this Zhou Yi was a little stunned. Then he smiled and said, "Alright, I'll get swimming trunks for you."

Chen Liguo's plan was successful and he secretly swallowed his saliva in his heart.

Chen Liguo said, "Young. Lovely. Zhou YiYi!"

The system said, "You're just like a creepy middle-aged uncle."

Chen Liguo responded, "What's wrong with creepy middle-aged uncles? Middle-aged uncle have their own middle-aged uncle dignity."

The system said, "Oh, indifferent."

Zhou Yi brought Chen Liguo swimming trunks. Chen Liguo put it on and found that it was very loose.

Zhou Yi said, "En, it seems like my size is a bit too big for you."

Chen Liguo: "……" He felt that his middle-aged uncle dignity was being insulted.

Zhou Yi saw Chen Liguo's face twist into a ball of frustration because of how loose and baggy the swimming trunks were and comforted him, saying, "It's all right, you're still developing."

Chen Liguo: "……" Aren't you still developing too?

The two went to the poolside and Zhou Yi got into the water first.

His figure was too perfect, it wasn't like that of a young high school student at all. He had wide shoulders, a narrow butt, long arms and a thin waist. His strong shoulders and his back peaked out of the water when he swam freestyle. It made Chen Liguo wish he could go up and feel it.

However, Chen Liguo managed to hold himself back. He wiped away his saliva and dived into the water with a solemn expression.

Although it was winter, the temperature of the indoor pool was very consistent. Chen Liguo felt that it was very comfortable staying inside and after swimming two rounds floated around motionlessly, acting like a dead body.

Zhou Yi asked, "How come you're not swimming anymore?"

Chen Liguo said, "Let my lay for a while……"

Zhou Yi found it funny. He reached out and stole a rub at Chen Liguo's waist.

Chen Liguo's waist was particularly sensitive and he was scared into choking a few mouthfuls of water. He exclaimed, "Don't randomly touch my waist ah!"

Zhou Yi laughed, "The waist of a man's woman can't even be touched? Wife, this waist of yours really can't be touched?"

Chen Liguo said, "Touch again then pay up!"

Zhou Yi asked, "How to pay?"

Chen Liguo said, "One hundred per time!"

Zhou Yi thought about it and said, "Boss, I'll give a thousand first, is there any discount for a monthly pass?"

Chen Liguo hadn't realized before that Zhou Yi was even more powerful at acting like a rouge than him. He was touched by Zhou Yi many times and couldn't help but start begging for mercy. He begged, "Daye, don't touch anymore. Any more and it'll cause a death."

Zhou Yi said, "If you die I'll take care of the burial."

Chen Liguo really was touched until he had no more strength left. The most painful thing was that Zhou Yi didn't let him get out of the water. He tugged at his waist and firmly kept him at the stairs.

In the end the strengthless Chen Liguo could only lay in his arms, paralyzed. He said, "Touch any more and you'll even need to give this house to me."

Zhou Yi looked at Chen Liguo with a smile on his face. There was a hint of something else in his eyes but Chen Liguo didn't notice. He said, "Silly Guo-er."

Chen Liguo glared at Zhou Yi, thinking that this person tormenting a middle-aged uncle like this was too much. He said, "Don't force me to act!"

Zhou Yi asked, "Touch what hand?"

Chen Liguo suddenly said, "Ai? Didn't you say that there's no one home? Then who's that man?"

Zhou Yi didn't think much and looked back.

Then Chen Liguo suddenly revolted. He grabbed Zhou Yi's swimming trunks, tugged it down and then scuttled away onto the ground like a monkey.

Zhou Yi: "……"

Chen Liguo laughed, "Hahahahahahaha!"

Zhou Yi gnashed his teeth and yelled a 'wife'!

Chen Liguo: "Ai?"

Zhou Yi said, "Did you forget? This is my home."

Chen Liguo: "……" Oof.

The Author has Something to Say:
