Chapter 69 – I Really am Not Sturdy…
“Your dislocation is a little severe. Although I’ve reconnected your arm, you mustn’t be reckless with it.”
Inside Jinzhou City’s Second People’s Hospital, an orthopedic doctor put on a fracture sling for Chen Yu and asked, “How did you end up like this? Did you fight with someone?”
“I fought with a machine,” Chen Yu huffed, his anger yet to dissipate.
“I’ll prescribe two medicines for you. Take them on time and visit me for a review a week later.”
“Alright, thank you, doctor.”
“Go on,” the doctor said, shooing Chen Yu away. “Make sure to properly study. What’s the point of fighting?”
After exiting the hospital, Chen Yu pulled out his phone with a dark look on his face before sending a message to the Transdimensional Marketing Company’s staff member.
“Indeed, but I need to learn.”
“That won’t be a problem! In a moment, I’ll bring you out to search for a place where you can live alone. I’ll then buy you a few textbooks and a computer that can access the internet. You just need to focus on learning programming knowledge. Also, use the chance to learn how to live in ancient times.”
“No!” Little Peach rejected Chen Yu’s proposal without hesitation. “I don’t want to be apart from you.”
“It’s inconvenient for you to live here. I still have my parents and three little sisters. There are also people constantly watching my every action. I can’t let these people discover your existence,” Chen Yu bitterly reasoned.
“That won’t happen. I have an invisibility function that prevents others from seeing me.”
“Invisibility?”
“That is correct.” As Little Peach nodded, a flash of light appeared in her eyes, and her entire person instantly vanished…
Except for her clothing.
Pinching his forehead, Chen Yu said, “What about your clothing?”
Rip!
The one-piece garment covering Little Peach’s invisible body instantly got torn into pieces.
“It’s gone.”
Chen Yu: “…”
Three seconds later, Little Peach’s body reappeared before Chen Yu. Delightfully pinching her waist, she said, “This way, I won’t get discovered, right?”
“Mhm… Mhm…”
Noticing Chen Yu’s straight gaze, the chip in Little Peach’s brain performed some quick operations. In the next moment, Little Peach raised her hand and slapped Chen Yu to the ground.
“Pervert! What are you looking at?!”
…
“Chen Yu, what happened to your arm?”
When the Chen family was huddled around the dining table and having their dinner, Mother Chen posed this question to Chen Yu with a frown.
“It got dislocated when I was playing ball,” Chen Yu mumbled an answer while eating with his left hand.
“Did another student bump into you?”
“No, I dislocated it when doing a slam dunk.”
“A slam dunk?” Lifting his head in surprise, Father Chen said, “Not bad, son! You’re actually able to-”
Bang!
Before Father Chen could finish his words, Mother Chen slammed her chopsticks on his head, saying, “Not bad? Not bad?! Your son got injured to such an extent, yet you’re saying he’s not bad?!”
“It’s basketball. Getting some minor injuries is very normal.” Caressing his aching head, Father Chen looked at Chen Yu and continued, “Son, give me a show once you’re healed.”
“No problem.”
“To think you can slam dunk as well, your talent in sports really is quite good. You definitely follow after me.”
“Follow after you?” Disdainfully clicking her tongue, Mother Chen said, “I’ve seen you playing football when you were young. You look no different than a frail maiden when you start running. You also fall with the slightest push.”
“That’s called fake falling! What do you understand? It’s a football tactic!”
“Sure.” Taking a bite of her food, Mother Chen said, “If only the person that knocked you over wasn’t a cheerleader.”
Chen Yu: “…”
“Hahahaha…”
Suddenly, cheerful laughter filled the kitchen.
“Mom, why are you so clear about this?” Chen Yike curiously asked.
“Because I’m the cheerleader that knocked him over.”
“Hahahahahaha…”
Outside the kitchen, Little Peach, who was currently in her invisible mode, wore a look of confusion as she listened to the Chen family’s merry conversation.
In the future, with the presence of asexual reproduction, the substantial increase of the human lifespan, and the prevalence of celibacy, the concept of family affection had long since disappeared. One would never find a warm scene like in the Chen family…
“From ancient times to the future, just what have human beings been pursuing?”
At this moment, the chip inside Little Peach’s brain was rapidly operating.
