LGSG Chapter 19
by VolareChapter 19: A Socially Awkward Situation. It’s Over. Now Everyone Knows About Little Xia and Big Xie…
“Is this really okay?”
Xia Ran was wearing new clothes that Xie He had specially brought out for him, with the beautiful name of needing to look presentable when meeting the parents.
The black-haired youth was trying his best to remain calm. While watching himself in the mirror, his eyes still fell on the corner of Xie He’s clothes. Even someone as oblivious as Xia Ran realized something wasn’t quite right.
The style of these clothes was too similar to what Mr. Xie usually wore.
Could this be… matching outfits?
No, no, no. His feelings for Mr. Xie were pure.
He absolutely mustn’t let his imagination run wild. He was just here to help.
Xie He: “The collar button is buttoned wrong.”
Ever since showing Xia Ran that he could stand up from the wheelchair, Xie He seemed too lazy to keep pretending to be sickly and weak in front of the youth.
He stood up directly and walked to Xia Ran’s side, reaching out his slender fingers to unbutton each one for him, and then re-fastening the stand-up collar buttons from his shoulders to his neck. During this, he occasionally helped to tuck the youth’s long hair behind his ears, so their breaths inevitably brushed against the other’s pale neck.
The monster didn’t have warm flesh and blood, and his breath carried a chilling coolness.
Under close scrutiny, Xie He could see the subtle trembling of the youth’s body caused by his breath.
The color in his eyes darkened slightly, but he pretended to be serious, gentle, and caring as usual.
Xie He put on his fake smile again and patted Xia Ran’s shoulder: “Don’t be nervous.”
Xia Ran: “Okay, okay!”
His mind, which had been muddled by Xie He, finally tasted a bit of absurdity.
It felt like a plot that would only happen in novels.
Pretending to be a couple to meet the parents or something.
This game had too much freedom!
This was even possible.
“Does this count as a quest request?” Xia Ran asked unexpectedly.
Xie He: “Naturally, it does.”
Xia Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Okay, okay, he couldn’t overthink it.
It was just a quest request from Mr. Xie!
“I’ll try my best not to mess it up!” Xia Ran said.
Although he had never played the role of a male wife who could give birth, nor had he even seen one, he would definitely rack his brains to do a good job since Mr. Xie had entrusted him with it.
[Please don’t let there be any problems!]
The youth’s shy thoughts ran along his fingertips to Xie He’s heart.
Xie He: “…”
He had learned from experience with Xia Ran.
If there were no problems, then he would be the one with the problem.
With a peaceful and good attitude, Xie He held out his hand: “Come on.”
Xia Ran’s pupils shrank: “Huh?”
His thoughts had been completely focused on rehearsing the scene of meeting the parents later.
He was caught off guard by the hand Mr. Xie extended to him.
Xie He smiled: “A couple deeply in love would probably want to hold each other’s hands all the time, right?”
Xia Ran: “…”
As a single man, he felt like something was wrong.
But he was truly being manipulated by Xie He.
Xia Ran thought that he did need to act more intimately in order to help Mr. Xie deceive his supposedly womanizing father.
The black-haired youth’s expression didn’t change much, and he obediently placed his fingertips in Xie He’s palm.
Mr. Xie smiled as he closed his hand, as if hiding the youth’s fingertips in thick cocoons.
“Good.”
A coaxing and deceptive comfort completely dispelled Xia Ran’s doubts.
So the black-haired youth never imagined that they weren’t even ready to meet the parents yet.
Holding hands where his cheap dad couldn’t see was just a little trick of the final Boss.

“You’re saying,” Shen Hua’s voice was very penetrating in the corridor, and he pointed at himself, shouting with a pale face, “I have to deliver a birthday banquet to Mr. Xie’s father?”
Fu Qu picked his ear.
“It’s not like I’m not going.”
Shen Hua: “…”
Shen Hua collapsed: “Why are you so calm! That’s the father of the final Boss, he looks like a stage Boss whose strength can’t be underestimated! How come it’s his birthday today… no one notified us before.”
From early in the morning, the head chef was unusually busy.
At first, Shen Hua didn’t pay attention. He thought the head chef had gone crazy and planned to research new dishes.
The workers who are proficient in fooling around know the way of the workplace.
I won’t ask if the boss doesn’t say, and I’ll be surprised if the boss asks.
So it led to a tragedy.
Shen Hua looked at a table of flowing seats and was still foolishly happy, wondering if he could get a few scraps. Fu Qu, who came back with the clean ingredients, said: “Let’s go.”
Shen Hua: “?”
Fu Qu: “Today is the birthday of Mr. Xie’s father, we have to send this table of dishes over.”
Shen Hua: “…”
Ah, who?
Him?
In the end, it evolved into Shen Hua hugging the big locust tree outside the staff dormitory and crying, while Fu Qu coldly watched the dramatic occasion of pushing two big dining carts beside him.
“Don’t cry.” Fu Qu said, “If players see it, they’ll think we’re rushing to a funeral.”
Shen Hua: “…”
Shen Hua’s face was ashen: “What’s the difference between this and a funeral?”
What’s the difference between them, two humans, delivering a table of good wine and good food, and a mobile turkey.
Oh, it’s even better than turkey. They also deliver meals to your door and add meals to themselves.
“Or…” Fu Qu’s one eye concealed a little mockery, “Let your big shot help?”
Shen Hua was shivering: “No, no, absolutely not.”
Fu Qu was puzzled: “Why? You’ve asked him for help a lot before.”
“This time it’s too dangerous. A big shot is a big shot, but he’s not my reborn parents, why drag people into a fire pit.” Shen Hua was just howling to vent his emotions, he patted Fu Qu’s chest, “You’re so strong, Brother Fu, you can protect me too.”
Fu Qu’s body stiffened inexplicably.
Then he said in a strange tone: “You really are… familiar with everyone.”
Shen Hua: “?”
Shen Hua didn’t have time to question what Fu Qu meant.
Fu Qu had already pushed the two dining carts forward.
Because of the effort, the muscle curvature of the sleeves was very obvious.
Shen Hua quickly chased after him: “No, what did you mean by that sentence just now, were you praising me or scolding me?”
Fu Qu: “.”
Fu Qu continued to move forward.
All the way because he was busy with Fu Qu’s unilateral confrontation, Shen Hua didn’t realize it until he arrived at a remote courtyard.
They have arrived.
The gate of the side yard was empty, and there wasn’t even a plaque.
There is an ancestral hall next to it. Backed by the cyan-white mountain, under the pale sunlight at noon, there is an illusion that the mountain is densely covered with small black figures.
Shen Hua glanced at it and felt a little palpitating for no reason, and quickly moved his eyes away.
The ancestral hall was made of mud bricks. Although the doors were tightly closed, he could still smell the strong sandalwood fragrance.
It can be seen that incense should be burned here from beginning to end on weekdays.
Just as Shen Hua was looking around, Fu Qu had put down the dining car, walked to the gate of the side yard, and swung his arms and smashed it twice.
Shen Hua hurriedly said nervously: “You’re like a debt collector.”
Fu Qu: “Go back early after the delivery, so you don’t have to look so timid.”
Shen Hua wanted to say that he wasn’t that embarrassing.
But as soon as he heard the iron door creak across the ground, Shen Hua felt terrified and quickly hid behind the tall and strong Fu Qu.
Fu Qu: “…”
Alas.
The door opened from the inside. A woman with her hair tied up in an old-fashioned cheongsam was holding a little girl with straight black hair and staring blankly at the two uninvited guests.
Very much in the style of a horror movie.
Shen Hua glanced at it and felt that the little girl was overly familiar.
Looking again, he found that she was holding a big pair of scissors in her hand.
Shen Hua’s bad memories suddenly flooded his heart.
Isn’t this the little ghost who chased him that day?
To be precise, it was to chase the one-eyed.
Shen Hua couldn’t help but look at Fu Qu again, and found that the other party’s reaction was flat.
Although he had known for a long time that One-eye and Fu Qu were not the same person, and Fu Qu just replaced that idiot’s identity. But Shen Hua still couldn’t completely rest assured until now.
Looking at it this way. It seems that One-eye’s death only happened to provide him with an opportunity to replace his identity?
“Cough cough…” The woman covered the corners of her lips with a handkerchief and coughed slightly, “You can call me Mrs. Bai. Master Xie Youdao is already sitting in the hall, you are a little late.”
Her tone of voice was very strange, and every final sound had to be deliberately brought with a smile.
But it didn’t give people a close feeling at all.
Instead, it was more like a living puppet.
The last sentence of blame didn’t fall into place lightly, with some treacherous unease.
Shen Hua’s heart tightened all of a sudden. Even Fu Qu’s expression became rigorous.
The little girl with straight black hair suddenly picked up the big scissors and waved them in the air beside Mrs. Bai.
“Mom, it’s not late,” she said, “Brother and sister-in-law haven’t come yet.”
Mrs. Bai: “Ah, yes. Young Master Xie and…”
Mrs. Bai: “…”
Mrs. Bai: “…your sister-in-law?”
Shen Hua: “…”
Who?
Final Boss?
Mrs. Bai and Shen Hua’s expressions were strangely synchronized at this moment.
They were all thinking about how Xie He found his wife.
“You’ve been waiting long.”
Speak of the devil.
Shen Hua shuddered when he heard the voice.
Mr. Xie was much more terrifying than Mrs. Bai and the little girl.
He grabbed Fu Qu’s arms and turned him over, facing Xie He who suddenly appeared.
Fu Qu: “…”
Is he a shield?
Fu Qu curiously looked at the human beside Xie He.
Should be human.
From the feet up, wearing a robe that can be called a couple’s outfit with the final Boss, with a graceful figure and black hair over his shoulders.
Holding a child in his arms who looked very much like Mr. Xie.
The child, like Mr. Xie, also had a fake smile like a puppet.
The same underworld from the bones.
Fu Qu: “…”
Fu Qu couldn’t help but raise one eyebrow.
Could it be that he really ate the melon of the final Boss?
He can still see the final Boss meeting his parents with his family?
This is too damn weird.
The child was forcibly pulled off the human beside him by Mr. Xie with a fake smile.
So Fu Qu and Shen Hua easily saw Xia Ran, whom they hadn’t seen for a day, blushing, and holding Mr. Xie’s hand.
In addition to being embarrassed, the other party made eye contact with Fu Qu and Shen Hua who were eating melons.
The three of them were all stunned in place like they had been struck by lightning.
Fu Qu: “?”
Shen Hua: “?”
Xia Ran: “…”
Xia Ran silently covered his face with one hand, which was so red that it was about to bleed.
He thought.
Isn’t this the end?
He ruined his innocence in the pile of players!
