TRMLCM Chapter 32
by VolareCheng Yi woke up past one in the afternoon. The moment he saw the time, he felt like the sky was falling. He quickly opened the green messaging app, and sure enough, there was a pinned message at the top.
[Mu An: Good morning.jpg]
He quickly replied,
[Cy: An Ge, morning]
[Cy: I just woke up, what are you doing?]
The message was sent, and Cheng Yi expected the other person to be busy, but he got an instant reply.
[Mu An: Out.]
Out again. Cheng Yi frowned slightly at this message. Looking at their recent chats, it seemed that no matter how late Shen Chang’an slept, he always woke up early the next day, and he spent his days outside. He only went home around evening, followed by a three- or four-hour livestream.
[Cy: Are you busy?]
He was a little worried about Shen Chang’an’s condition, so he tentatively asked.
[Mu An: Not busy.]
[Mu An: Go eat first.]
Shen Chang’an didn’t want to talk about his family affairs, just like when his mother passed away. Even if the neighbors around him looked at him with kind sympathy and pity, that gaze was like a needle hidden in cotton. He didn’t like it… he really didn’t like it.
So he didn’t want to tell Cheng Yi about this either. He didn’t want the person he liked to become cautious, as if afraid of hurting him, as if he had become fragile because of this matter, and his heart was inferior to theirs.
Cheng Yi didn’t notice that he had changed the subject. He thought Shen Chang’an was concerned about whether he was hungry, and he was so happy that he immediately found a private custom restaurant with a VIP membership and ordered takeout.
Cheng Yi washed up and came back, flipping through the other messages on his phone.
[Brother: Why aren’t you home yet?]
Oh, he remembered. Because of the good morning message he sent to his brothers, he was teased by He Zhou in the ‘The Universe’s Invincible Hottie Boy Group’ chat, and then he provoked his brother.
Cheng Yi: “…”
His fist hardened. He Zhou, you better not cause him any more trouble lately.
Although he thought he was straight at the time and didn’t care much about He Zhou’s teasing, now he was enlightened, he wasn’t straight anymore, and he couldn’t help but care.
Cheng Yi began to worry. How was he going to tell his brother and his parents about this in the future…?
Cheng Yi thought of his father, who had been dictatorial and autocratic for a long time, and then thought of his mother, who only cared about making him happy every day, and then thought of his elder brother, who was over 28 and still unmarried, dedicating himself to the company…
Tsk, why did he feel weak inside?
He heard that the eldest son of the Lin family, who didn’t get along with their Cheng family, had previously argued with his parents for a girl from an ordinary family and ran away from home for love. Now, to pay for rent, he was working part-time washing dishes in the back kitchen of a dilapidated small restaurant outside the fourth ring road of City S.
Of course, Cheng Yi wasn’t interested in seeing the jokes of his opponents. He Zhou and the others were the ones who said it in the group.
Cheng Yi frowned slightly. He was just a recent college graduate who was still eating, drinking, and having fun, receiving dividends and a fixed allowance every month. What if his parents didn’t agree with him being with Mu An? What if his parents cut off his allowance?
Would he also go wash dishes?
As soon as this thought came out, Cheng Yi was so frightened that his body shook. He quickly checked the balance in his bank account.
After seeing the account balance clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he still had a lot of money.
[Cy: Brother, I’ll go back tonight.]
[Cy: Um… Brother, let me ask you something.]
After waiting for a few seconds, the other party replied to his message.
[Brother: Speak.]
[Cy: Which stock do you usually buy in the stock market?]
Cheng Yi looked at his phone with anticipation. He had so much pocket money, and the annual dividends were also high, but money should be used wisely, and it had to generate more money. After all, who would dislike having more…?
Cheng Hua glanced at the message, frowned slightly, put the file he was halfway through reading back on the desk, and then picked up his phone to type.
[Brother: Choose yourself, don’t ask me.]
He was very busy every day, unlike this dead brat who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun as a rich second generation.
However, why did the second child suddenly want to enter the stock market…?
Cheng Hua frowned, but he was too lazy to think about the reason.
Wasn’t the second child studying finance? Why was he asking him? He definitely had to let him slowly pick and slowly look at stocks. If he chose wrong, he chose wrong. He would just give him more money and continue to try until he learned.
Cheng Yi frowned slightly as he looked at the message and replied,
[Cy: Okay, then you work hard.]
In Cheng Hua’s view, the meaning of this sentence was, okay Big Brother, thanks Big Brother, then I won’t bother you, you have to work hard and earn more money for me.
Cheng Hua shook his head helplessly. Don’t even mention that this was the troublemaker he had brought upon himself. Back then, he saw that his friend’s family had pink and tender younger brothers, and he was jealous, so he cried and demanded a younger brother from his parents.
He brought it upon himself, so he would spoil him himself. Say no more, let’s go to work. Today was another day of raising a younger brother.
……
Cheng Yi had been praised since he was a child in the upper-class circle, but his light was slightly dimmed by the brilliance of his brother’s perfect grades. However, he would not be jealous or resentful of his elder brother. Instead, he chose to lie flat with peace of mind.
However, now he had to think about his future, about the happy life of himself and An Ge. He regained his fighting spirit and excitedly clicked on the stock market.
……Hey, what did the teacher talk about before?
The knowledge in the books slowly filtered through his mind, and slowly matched the colorful and fluctuating lines in front of him. But the only thing that could be matched was a very shallow section. More of it was unknown to him. He could only slowly explore and search for information. After thinking for a long time, he finally bought his first stock.
Now he just had to wait slowly.
The afternoon slowly passed by in checking information. In front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the slowly dimming sky outside, Cheng Yi put down the tablet in his hand and stretched slightly.
It was already 6:30 in the evening. He picked up his phone and sent a message.
[Cy: An Ge, are you home?]
Before long, the message from the other side came back.
[Mu An: Not yet, still on the way.]
It was only then that Cheng Yi realized that he hadn’t asked Shen Chang’an what he was doing outside all day. Silenced by his own stupidity, he chose not to ask. Just let it be.
[Cy: Okay, I’m going home for dinner tonight.]
[Cy: I probably won’t be able to watch your livestream on time, but I’ll be there as soon as possible.]
Looking at the drizzling rain outside the car window, Shen Chang’an’s clear eyes darkened for a moment.
[Mu An: No rush. Since you’re going home, spend time with them.]
[Mu An: My livestream room is there, it won’t run away. You can come anytime.]
[Mu An: Eat well.]
Looking at these messages, the joy in Cheng Yi’s eyes couldn’t be hidden. He glanced at the time, took his phone, and went straight out the door.
[Cy: Okay]
